Served this after a tex-mex dinner. Fabulous fruity twist on a traditional ice cream pie. Only down side: the "zip" from the alcohol diminishes as it sits in the freezer. But it's still great the next day!

Made this pie for Father's Day (non alcoholic recipe) and we all thought it was awful. It went in the trash. Wasted my fresh picked strawberries.

This is the perfect dessert for a southwestern or mexican dinner. Light - and the crust is inspired.

Girls best Meridian and Mount Baker
Published on Wed, Jan 29, 2014 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
As they have for the last several games, the girls basketball team spread the ball around to post lopsided wins over Meridian at home January 24 and Mount Baker at home January 28.
The final score of the Meridian game was 74–38. Mandy Hayes' 19 points and eight rebounds and Taylor V'Dovec's 19 points and seven rebounds led the Borderites. Two other Blaine athletes posted double-digit scores: Alexis McElwain and Kjirstin Larson both scored 10 points.
"It was a great team effort offensively and defensively, and a nice way to end the week and get ready to start a new week," head coach Ryan Pike said. "We got to play 11 different players. It was an all-around great game atmosphere for the team."
Breanna Chau doled out 10 assists and Olivia Olason sank two three-pointers.
Pike said he appreciated the chance to spread playing time around to other players beyond the starting five, who sat out the entire fourth quarter.
"It's nice to have those players getting more game experience. We'll have kids graduating next year, and even this year it can come in very handy to have experienced subs on hand. If we get into foul trouble, or if we see three games over three days in the district tournament like we did last year, we'll be able to give all our players plenty of rest," Pike said. "No matter how old you are, it's still tiring to play three games in a row with long bus rides in between."
Blaine faced Mount Baker at home January 28 and won 62–40. V'Dovec led the team with 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and as a team the Borderites tallied 20 assists.
With the wins over Meridian and the Mount Baker, the Borderites are 7–2 in Northwest Conference play and 11–5 overall.
Pike said the upcoming game against Lynden will be a good indicator of how the team is playing.
"Anytime you play Lynden, it's always a big game," he said. "They're looking to beat us after we beat them last year, so they'll be a good test for us. We just have to go out and play hard basketball."
Pike said the team is looking to improve on the little things, such as rotating off the weak-side defense.
The Lynden game is away Friday, January 31 at 7:15 p.m. The Borderites will travel to Friday Harbor on Saturday, February 1 for an afternoon game that starts at 1:30 p.m.

Halle Berry Says Son Maceo Is 'Fantastic'
March 03, 2014 Academy Awards
"Extra" caught up with Halle Berry at the Fame and Philanthropy Post-Oscar Gala on Sunday, where she opened up about her baby boy, Maceo, for the first time.
As for her secret to bouncing back so quickly after giving birth, she attributed it to "working hard."
Berry is currently working on the new TV series "Extant," and she explained why she decided to take a role on television. "I read this script for 'Extant,' and it was better than any movie script I read in a very, very long time. I just want to go where the good content is… I think all the best stuff right now, if were honest with ourselves, is on television."
Halle's fiancé, Olivier Martinez, is also heading to TV for a guest-starring role on "Revenge."

JENSEN BEACH -- The Jensen Beach Community Playground Committee was awarded a $20,000 grant from Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida to help build a new playground at Jensen Beach Elementary that will be open to students and the public.
A total of $300,000 is needed to build the new playground. The committee has already raised $60,000, but will need more financial support through donations and grants to meet the build date of May, 2014.
The existing playground features pieces nearly 40-years-old that continue to degrade due to increasing use. The Jensen Beach Community Playground Committee and a crew of dedicated volunteers are working to raise the necessary funds to install a custom-built playground designed by local children and the Leathers & Associates design team.
The playground will provide a safe environment for the community's most vulnerable special needs children, and the design meets the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations. The custom playground layout includes wheelchair accessible groundcover, therapeutic swings, activity panels, accessible parallel bars and telephone systems. The unique play space will provide outlets that help correct developmental delays and play opportunities for children of all abilities. Jensen Beach Elementary is the hub-school for Martin County's Autism Spectrum Disorder Unit, and the ADA regulated components will benefit these students. Children of all abilities will be able to play shoulder to shoulder, learning and growing together.
"We are thrilled that Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida decided to partner with us to build a new playground for the Jensen Beach community," said Denise Faherty, general playground coordinator.
"Together, we are providing Jensen Beach residents with a new public playground that is safe and accessible for all children of all ability levels."
The community is encouraged to help financially support the Jensen Beach Community Playground Committee. Numerous giving options are available and include general financial contributions; sponsorships, adopting playground components or purchasing personalized fence pickets, bricks and handprint tiles. Volunteers are also needed.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida's mission is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children in South Florida.

Friday Discussion: Albums That Deserve "Classic" Status In 2020
Let's be honest: when Take This To Your Grave or Ocean Avenue got released a decade ago, did anyone expect to still be talking about them in 2013? But here we are, reminiscing on the good ole' days like the hopelessly nostalgic music fans we are. But what albums will hit classic status in the 2020s? We dusted off the old POZ crystal ball to make some predictions about what albums we might still be discussing a decade from now. Feel free to reblog with albums that will still be on your mind come 2020!
The Menzingers - On the Impossible Past
This is the punk-infused heartland rock 'n' roll sound The Gaslight Anthem has tried to bottle since The '59 Sound but hasn't. For hailing from Scranton, the Menzingers do a great impression of the blue collar Midwest. There are no flashy guitar chords or sweeping sentiments about the world in Greg Barnett and Tom May's lyricism. Heck, it's mostly an album about being young, fucking up, getting drunk, and learning from it. But its simple poetry — about American muscle cars, shitty opening bands, and bad graffiti — gives the record its charm. Thomas Nassiff said it best: "I'll be damned if I won't still appreciate a line like '…when you get old enough to know that happiness is just a moment' in another 15 years when I've stopped caring about the things I care about right now."
The Horrible Crowes - Elsie
Remember what I said about The Gaslight Anthem post-59 Sound being predictable and formulaic? The Horrible Crowes, Brian Fallon's "night music" side project, is anything but. Some songs sound pretty Gaslight-esque (here's looking at you, "Behold the Hurricane) but for the most part, Fallon channels his Tom Waits-ish spirit and really tests his range as a performer. He goes from love-struck schoolboy on "Crush" to vaguely threatening on "I Witnessed a Crime" and batshit insane on "Mary Ann" seamlessly, and it's an album that demands repeated listens. To say all the songs aren't Springsteen clones like The Gaslight Anthem's are isn't entirely fair. But on Fallon's best work as a songwriter, he challenges the Boss in terms of emotional depth and vocal fervor.
The Wonder Years - The Upsides
"I'm not sad anymore" just about says it all. When "head above water this year, boys," stopped cutting it as a battle cry, Dan "Soupy" Campbell spilled his heart into The Upsides, a twelve-track confessional about standing your ground and not backing down when the world tells you to put your head down. Short on ballads and long on energy, The Upsides sprints from one anthem to the next, from breakneck fuck-you's ("Dynamite Shovel") to tour diaries put to a soundtrack of crisp guitar riffs and gang vocals ("Hostels & Brothels). The record hit shelves in January 2010, when none of us had any idea what to do with ourselves in the new decade. Campbell and company reminded us to stay defiant and keep smiling, and that message won't fade any time soon.
fun. – Some Nights
Aim and Ignite is heads and shoulders above Some Nights, but the latter sent fun. catapulting headfirst into stardom. With mainstream radio still a pretty soulless, vacuous black hole of mediocrity and thumping dubstep grooves, fun. achieved the almost impossible by keeping their flair for the theatric and not fitting the role of Top 40's one-hit-wonder-indie-band. Instead of playing it safe and churning out bland, but radio friendly hits, fun. went for broke, pumping the ambitious "Some Nights" and bombastic "We Are Young" to their mainstream pipelines and catching fire overnight. But careful listeners might be more likely to recall 80s-vibing "Out On the Town" and soulful "All Alone" in ten years than the surefire hits.
Transit - Listen & Forgive
What happened to the Boston pop-punkers who put out the fast, furious, and thoroughly heartbreaking Keep This To Yourself? Well, they grew up, and fans should pray rosaries that they did. Listen & Forgive is a grown-up album with a young heart, layering songs about loss and love with richly textured guitarwork. There are no frenetic jams like "Please Head North" or "Footwork," but Transit traded angst for subtlety, and the result is breathtaking. If you're late on the Transit bandwagon, try taking the record for a spin and not shedding a tear over Tim Landers and Joe Boynton's collective heartaches. Songs like the title track and "Skipping Stone" are as timeless as they are flawless.
Fireworks - Gospel
Gospel is a fantastic album with less-than-stellar timing. 2011 was a banner year for pop punk — think Blink, The Wonder Years, New Found Glory, and The Story So Far — so Fireworks probably didn't reap the acclaim Gospel rightfully earned at the time. But, two years later, I'm not sure 2011 saw a tighter bunch of tracks get released (The Michigan natives stuff hook after sing-along hook) than this adrenaline-packed record. The album marked a quantum leap in the band's career, jumping from fun throwaways like "Detroit" to the emotional one-two punch of "Oh, Why Can't We Start Older and Get Younger?" and "Summer." Sure, singing about friends and good times has become something of a pop punk standard, but Fireworks reinvented that standard to make it feel brand new and exciting.
The Dangerous Summer - War Paint
Okay, so it's no Reach For the Sun. But the second chapter in AJ Perdomo's heart-on-sleeve songbook is every bit as personal and vulnerable as the band's freshman album. With a masterpiece debut like Reach For the Sun already under their belt, Perdomo releases his emotional floodgates, sounding angrier ("Waves") and more desperately in love ("No One's Gonna Need You More") than ever. His pristine lyricism, armed to the teeth with pent-up frustration and vivid imagery, is matched only by the fervent instrumentation backing his vocals. We're lucky that The Dangerous Summer didn't try to re-write Reach For the Sun: they evolved it.
Balance & Composure - Separation
Remember when liking straight-up rock and roll was actually cool? From the first ambient guitar tones and Jon Simmons' brooding vocals on "Void," it's pretty darn obvious that Balance and Composure is no run-of-the-mill rock band. Actually, Separation almost defies genre, at times intense and in your face and others, calm and composed. For a band well versed in 90s rock 'n' roll lore, Simmons and company have no problem backing off the throttle and shifting into a brooding mid-tempo repertoire. Most rock bands ask you to put your fists in the air and sing along. Separation grabs you by the collar and tells you to bang your fucking head.
The Front Bottoms - The Front Bottoms
Somewhere down the line between 2010 and now, The Front Bottoms absolutely blew up. It's tough to pinpoint exactly when (and how) but the quirky acoustic guitar and drum kit wielding duo stated their case with an embarrassingly honest full-length that's as easily relatable as it is danceable. The band's sound is almost painfully raw and under-produced, but they make it endearing instead of frustrating. Just imagine "Maps" without that goofy little synthesizer or the charmingly clumsy gang vocals on "The Beers." You probably can't, right? Honestly, this is probably the most flawed and least honed of the albums on the list, but it's those quirks and flaws that keep us coming back.
Bring Me the Horizon - There Is a Hell, Believe Me, I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret.
Forget pop punk. If any genre needs defending, it's metalcore. And its hero came in 2010 when Bring Me the Horizon defied all (low) expectations set by the laughable Suicide Season to release what should go down as a modern metalcore masterpiece. There Is a Hell doesn't fuck around, experimenting with ambience, electronics, and guest appearances from Lights and Josh Scogin, preeminent vocalist for The Chariot. It's dark, it's moody, and it barely lets off the gas pedal. No one expected Bring Me the Horizon to mature as rapidly and gracefully as they did, and if There Is a Hell is any sign, Sempiternal should be a bona-fide scorcher. But There Is a Hell will be the record they get remembered for, and I have no qualms with that.

The first 2,500 people who pledge to help reduce summer air pollution by riding transit during July will receive a free seven-day pass to ride Utah Transit Authority buses and trains — a $50 value.
Zions Bank and the UTA teamed up to create the program, called Ride Clear, to help reduce pollution that can be bad during the dog days of summer. The first 2,500 people who register at utarideclear.com will be mailed a free seven-day pass good on TRAX, FrontRunner and UTA buses.
They are electronic passes, so patrons will need to remember to tap on and tap off when boarding. The pass is good for seven consecutive days of travel once activated after the first tap, and are good for travel between July 1 and 31.
"We looked at the air quality issue and felt like we had a unique opportunity to do something to help," said UTA General Manager Michael Allegra. "We hope people take advantage of this new program, especially on days when the air is really bad. Taking any cars off the road during times when the summer air stagnates is good for everyone."
UTA noted that Salt Lake and Davis counties experienced 34 yellow and nine red air days last summer. The Utah Department of Air Quality estimates that one in three Utahns experience respiratory problems during poor air quality days.
Earlier this year, Rep. Joel Briscoe, D-Salt Lake City, asked appropriators at the Legislature to spend $9 million to allow everyone to ride UTA for free in July and January. He said that would allow collecting data on how free fares would increase ridership and help clean air pollution in two of the most troublesome months for clean air. However, appropriators did not act on his request.

British water companies announced a plan earlier this week to
increase household water bills by up to 4.5 percent above
inflation between 2010 and 2015.
A pain for households, yes. But such increases underline a trend
that may prove tempting to investors searching for new commodity
assets as oil, gold etc tumble from their peaks.
The water index on the International Securities Exchange, which
includes companies engaged in water distribution, water
filtration, flow technology and other water solutions, has risen
more than 5 percent since January.
World water consumption could also double over the next 20 years
– according to a report from rating agency Moody's economic
research arm — and at current growth rates, water demand by
2025 would exceed the available supply by 56 percent.
Water demand could rise because of climate change which trigger
more frequent droughts, increased migration to cities and
industrialisation of emerging economies.

Thank You for the Pictures! Lily the cake for my Grandmother, I did on my own, even my own design. Just thought you would like to know. You are a great teacher, I will keep in touch. Every cake I make I will email you the pictures. Thank You again.
Hi, Lily
First of all, thank you again for Saturday. It was a great class and I'm looking forward to starting again next Saturday. I can't keep my eyes off the booklet for Course 3. Everything looks so much fun to make.
I downloaded the pictures to my computer and I'm sending you a few. I wasn't sure which ones you would like the best so I included one of the top of the cake, one with me and the cake, one where you can see the detailing of the girl and another one where you can see the whole cake.
When I took the cake to my knitting class people were at awe. To start with, they thought the flowers were real and said how could I get them not to wilt. They couldn't believe their eyes when I said they were edible. They loved the icing, nobody noticed it was Crico icing. My friend had baked the cake and it tasted so good too (a Joy of Cooking recipe for chocolate cake). It was a success!!
Ok, so I think this is it for now. THANK YOU again for being such a great teacher. I truly enjoy the classes and I always leave full of ideas and very inspired.
Have a great week, Lily.
Hi Lily,
Thank you very much for all your e-mails. I want to let you know how much I really enjoyed having you as a teacher for the cake decorating class. And thank you again for your kindness. Please keep me in touch.
Thank very much
Thank you for asking, Joey is doing great. We're getting ready to celebrate his first birthday next month.
I'm glad that Jeff (of Ben Franklin) has been helpful. You're the type of Instructor that he's needed for several years.
Thank you,
I just looked at your photographs online. I had looked a few weeks ago. What a lot of work and time to update it all! I can't believe how good everyone else's cakes are! Ours, except for Angie's were nothing compared to the other classes. And even the Course I classes were fantastic. Congratulations.
You really are a great teacher. We all had a great time, and had fun during the class. I think we of course will have to work diligently next time to catch up to all the other students.. (or was that just photo-shop with professional cake photographs, with the students?)
We had a lot of fun, loved your class, think you are a great teacher, and had some great lunches afterwards at Cucina Cucina. It was nice for me to get to know Angie and Lynn, as I had never met them before and they both live just a few blocks away.
Joanne Mason
I really enjoyed class this evening! I was kind of nervous about doing this, but when I brought my cake home this evening, my family was amazed! I am really looking forward to the next class. You are a wonderful and patient teacher.
Hello Lily: It was so nice to hear from you and your kind words. You really do a great job. I was surprised that you did'nt get the best of show!.. I really think that you have a great talent and hope that you keep it up. I was hoping to go the Ices convention, but now I don't think that I will make it. That time is the busiest time of year for for wedding cakes.
I'm planning on teaching some different ways of decorating cakes, that is why I get all the best work here in Calgary., as well as the flavors that I have. I do look forward to seeing you and some more of your work in the future. Kate
Kate Fielder - Sugarflowers
I looked at your web site. It is BEAUTIFUL! The Frog King Cake is adorable...you EXTREMELY talented.
I just wanted to thank you for all of your advise and kindness that you shared at the convention. My husband really likes the gumpaste plant that you gave me. Thanks again :o)
I e-mailed my Wilton instructor as soon as I got home. She is so proud that I went & placed at the convention. It is only 2nd place ribbons with both of my cakes...but, looking at all of the beautiful pieces gives me bigger goals to achieve.
Take Care, & please keep in touch. I would love to hear about the ICES convention or any pictures that you would like to share. I hope you have a wonderful time in Orlando!
Thank you for a beautiful & delicious cake. We loved it.

text: I just thaught these epic pics of Shins gun was crazy. All made by hand with the use of hand tools only, no machines mind you. The wood used is pallet wood from the port. With eight 5/8 bands it holds up well. With almost 2kg of wieght in the gun, its still bouyant. I have shot this beast once and there is hardly any recoil. Not an ideal gun to use since its so long but testing limits is what Shin is about, not about what or how big a fish he gets.

The company, which began tuning Volkswagens and more recently Audis and MINIs, has brought the prestige of Mercedes-Benz to the franchise. Its latest work includes this svelte Mercedes-Benz S500.
A statesman in automobile design, the distinguished, third-generation S balances luxury with sporting performance and sophisticated styling. Taking its character and trying to make it better, or at least different without compromising it, is difficult. Rather than try and re-invent something better, the team at Autobahn Designs decided to simply build upon what was already in place. "Our aim is to enhance the overall driving experience," said Autobahn Designs' president Dave Anderson. "Why try and re-invent the wheel when it may already be in motion? We just try to perfect it and help speed it along."
From a standpoint of style and individuality, their work has paid off richly with a more refined package. Dressed in altered exterior panels, the car is equipped with factory AMG styling components, including S55 front and rear bumpers and side skirts.
The rear apron, which features half-moon exhaust cutouts, nicely accommodates Autobahn Designs' own twin muffler package. Complete with stainless steel tips, the system is designed to work efficiently with the car's 5.0-liter (4966cc), 24-valve V8.
Further accentuating the exterior is a set of sporty O.Z. Opera wheels measuring 8.5x20 in. up front and 9.5x20-in. at the rear. Michelin Pilot Sport tires provide a decidedly, and desirably, wider contact patch, running 255/35-20 front and 285/30-20 rear.
In order to adequately close the gap between the fenders and the lower profile tires, Autobahn Designs modified the stock vehicle ride height by using the company's Adjustable Sport Lowering Package. This set-up, which works in conjunction with the computer-controlled factory Airmatic suspension, lowers the vehicle by roughly 1 in., leading to better handling without compromising ride quality.
And with 0-to-60-mph performance rated at 6.1 sec., it comes within a mere 0.04 sec. short of the 355-bhp factory-equipped S55.
As stated, the S500 is already a wonderfully engineered piece of machinery in stock trim or otherwise.

Hoops Help from the Hereafter
A daughter encounters a picture of her late father in a very unlikely setting--and gets some prognostication help too!
One rainy afternoon my boyfriend and I stepped into an antique shop. Bill was looking for vintage car advertisements. "Check my old magazines," the owner said. He brought out an armload.
I grabbed the one with the word "basketball" printed across the top. I flipped through the pages, thinking of my father, who had died eight years before. He'd played center for Manhattan College, then spent 30 years as a high school basketball coach.
Every year Dad and I predicted which team would win the NCAA title. This year, I filled in tournament brackets with friends. It wasn't as much fun filling in brackets without Dad.

I turned a weathered page. A familiar face looked out at me from a photograph in the old magazine. Then I saw the caption: Ed O'Connor. My father, as a young player!
"That's my dad!" I yelled.
"No kidding!" the shopkeeper said. "It's yours. No charge."
That night the team I'd picked won the title. Perhaps I'd had help with my predictions after all.

SPOKANE, Wash.—A hospital pharmacy technician accused of swiping more than 250,000 painkillers pleaded guilty Wednesday.
Paul Martsin, 25, agreed to a plea deal which would send him to prison for five years according to court documents. Marstin pleaded guilty to theft, money laundering and dealing controlled substances.
The pharmacy worker was arrested in July 2013.
A surveillance camera at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center showed Martsin stuffing bottles of pills and codeine cough syrup into his backpack. He was caught a short distance away. Investigators found 1,000 pills in his backpack.
Police found 7,000 more pills in Martsin's home while serving a search warrant. They also found 190 empty bottles each with a 500 pill count. Investigators also found $13,000 in cash.
Detectives believed Martsin sold the drug to pay off his gambling debts.

Found November 01, 2012 on That NBA Lottery Pick:
PLAYERS: Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lamb, Scott Machado, James Harden
TEAMS: Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder
TEAMS: Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder
The deal that sent James Harden to the Houston Rockets included rookie Jeremy Lamb going to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rockets guard Jeremy Lin attempted to give his well-wishes to Lamb but accidentally called Rockets rookie Scott Machado by mistake.Here are the fine points from the Houston Chronicle:Machado had been nervously awaiting word on whether he had made the Rockets' roster. As Lin wished him well, his heart skipped a few beats until he realized he did not need to worry. Lin had thought he called Jeremy Lamb, who had just been traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. By Monday, Machado knew made the team when no one called. "I was like, 'Hey, it's Scott, it's not Jeremy,' " Machado said of his conversation with Lin. "'Did you hear something about me?' I was all nervous. He was like, "Oh, I apologize, I apologize.' It all worked out."The moves also came as a huge relief to Machado, who had a non-guaranteed contract and many nervous moments when the trade filled the Rockets roster and a teammate accidentally gave him a call. "I was a little nervous, even before they got traded," said Machado. "We had four good point guards here and I was the newcomer, the undrafted one. With a whole bunch of people coming in there was nervousness.Below is a video of Machado talking about the mistaken call:(Courtesy of Ball Don't Lie)

Been riding this for about a month and I've got to say, this board has made me remember why traditional camber boards still rock. They're serious when they say "insane pop"...the first few jumps on this thing will surprise you because you can absolutely send it if you load up the tail. Sort of a double edged sword...it's pretty stiff and it takes a lot of leg to get it to pop. Stiffer than the Agent for sure, so presses and butters are a bit of an adjustment.
Very fun for ripping the whole mountain, does pretty well in powder and plows through chop nicely. Buy this board and you'll fall in love with camber again!

I have a pair of size 10 Hails and they fit the medium Triad perfectly. Go for the medium if possible as it'll allow you to ride a wider range of board widths.
Light and warm for sure, but there are no pit zips and durability is a major issue since the shell material is so light. I was expecting something much more substantial and have intentionally avoided wearing this on the slopes because it would get torn to shreds by a fall.

Boy Scout Camp Tornado Nightmare
Learn how to protect your family when twisters strike.
Reports indicate that the group had been split into two groups. One of the groups was out hiking when the storm hit, while the other group was able to take cover under tables inside a building.
How horrific this must have been for the Scouts who were hiking and could not seek shelter. It seems that this is a disaster that there was just no way to prepare for. But we asked Laurie Eclund Long, mom and emergency preparedness expert, how to stay safe in the event of a twister that strikes closer to home.
- Pack it up: Make a "get away" bag for each family member. Include clothing, shoes and even fave toys. For documents like birth certificates and social security cards, Laurie suggests going on a "scavenger hunt" through your home and placing all your papers in one location.
- Be prepared: Do you have enough groceries, tools and first aid supplies at home for three to seven days? You should be equipped with canned goods, tons of water, battery-powered flashlights and a weather radio. Laurie recommends the Dynamo radio/flashlight, which is kid-friendly and inexpensive. Using weather radios will help you react quickly if there is a tornado warning.
- When it hits: Identify a safe place ahead of time, like a basement or a storm cellar, and show it your kids. If you have neither, kneel in a closet inside the house. Face the wall, and tell your children to put their hands over their heads.
- This isn't a movie: While Helen Hunt chased tornadoes in the movie Twister, trying to outrun a tornado in your car is very unsafe. If you're in the car during a tornado warning, get out quickly and take your kids to the basement of a nearby building or lie face-down in a ditch.
"People don't realize they only have minutes to get out of their home," said Laurie, who has lost 12 family members to natural disasters. "It's important to review these safety precautions ahead of time so they're second nature when a tornado strikes."Our thoughts go out to the Boy Scouts and their families in this difficult time.
These writings to my opinion are really hard for you to decipher. This is really fun somehow because one has to figure out what is being stated. I really have trend into this.
I like view your site a couple times 7 days for new readings. I was wondering when you have any other subjects you come up with?
Can I just say what a aid to seek out somebody who truly knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to deliver a difficulty to mild and make it important. More individuals need to read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant believe youre not more in style because you positively have the gift.

Suleyman Saleh Al-Reshoudi
Suleyman Al-Reshoudi, lawyer and former judge turned human rights defender, was arrested in 2007 while working for peaceful reform in Saudi Arabia. Since his arrest he has been tortured and held in harsh conditions, including solitary confinement. He has not been charged or brought before a court.
Suleyman Al-Reshoudi worked for two decades as a judge in Riyadh. Well-known for criticising Saudi Arabia's security forces, he advocates for democracy non-violent change and criticises America's Middle East policy. He regularly represented clients detained for years by the security forces without charge or trial.
On 2 February 2007 Mr Al-Reshoudi was at his home in Jeddah, meeting with eight other peaceful activists (including Al-Hashimi) discussing reform of the constitutional monarchy and political parties. The group planned to create a committee to strengthen civil and political rights and advocate for peaceful reforms. They were also discussing a potential class-action lawsuit against the Ministry of the Interior on behalf of Mr Al-Reshoudi's arbitrarily detained clients.
At 3:00am that night security forces raided his house, fired stun grenades, and arrested Mr Al-Reshoudi and the others. Officials accused them of belonging to an illegal organisation, having illegal contacts with foreign politicians and financing terrorism. The following year Mr Al-Reshoudi's arrest led to the first co-ordinated multiple-location hunger strike in Saudi Arabia.
In mid-2009, after Mr Al-Reshoudi had been detained for more than two years in solitary confinement, his lawyers filed a landmark case on his behalf against the Ministry of Interior. After a record eight hearings, a judge threw out the case in August 2010 with no explanation. Mr Al-Reshoudi remains in Al Hayr prison. No charges have been laid against him.
UN intervention
For years Mr Al-Reshoudi sent information to the UN human rights special procedures on countless political prisoners. On 28 November 2007 the United Nation's Working Group on Arbitrary Detention gave Opinion 27/2007. "[31] The Working Group ... has consistently held that expressing opinions not in conformity with or critical to government politics is a legitimate exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression ... the Working Group considers that ... the arrest of [Mr Al-Reshoudi] falls within the scope of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and assembly as guaranteed by articles 19 and 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has concluded the detention of Mr Al-Reshoudi and all those arrested with him to be unlawful and called on the Saudi authorities to remedy the situation. All continue to be indefinitely detained. The US State Department named Mr Al-Reshoudi in its 2009 human rights report for Saudi Arabia stating that according to the ACPRA, "Judge Suliman Al-Reshoudi was subjected to 'severe physical and psychological torture'."

First my apologies for being a no show. I put in about 10 hours (lots of tools experimentation) on the Castle but didn't get something that I wanted to present yet. I'll continue this map for the project, and try to resist entering anymore contests until well along if not complete. I should have a WiP up within a few weeks at most.
Voting this month was very difficult - my top 3 are rlucci, ravells, and torq. Redrobes and gamesprinter's entries are also very noteworthy.
My voting method is to 'count' the the number of 'wows and hmms' from a map, factored against the entry criteria. Plus or minus subjective bias, and there we are.

K.C. Accidental was a Canadian indie rock band which formed the original basis for Broken Social Scene.
The core of the band consisted of Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene) and Charles Spearin (Do Make Say Think), and started out as a two person recording outfit. The "K.C." in the band's name was taken from the initials of their first names. They released two albums of mostly instrumental music. The project's second album, Anthems For The Could've Bin Pills, also included contributions from Jason Collett, Evan Cranley, Emily Haines, Jason McKenzie, Jessica Moss, James Payment, Bill Priddle, James Shaw and Justin Small.
Many of the musicians involved in the album went on to work with Broken Social Scene, who released their debut album, Feel Good Lost in 2001. Spearin and Drew released a second album afterwards, with the track...

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A sure sign that it is the holiday season is the Salvation Army's Angel Tree. The tree has been set up again in Wilmington's Independence Mall, but this year, it has been placed in the Belk wing.
The Angel Tree Program provides toys, clothing and food for children in the Cape Fear area. But this year, the Salvation Army went out to the various communities they serve in the surrounding five county area and allowed those in need to sign up for financial assistance, without the need to drive to the Wilmington Salvation Army headquarters.
Major Richard Watts says that has presented a challenge this holiday season.
"We went to Pender County, we went to Bladen County and Columbus County as well as Brunswick County and went to where they were, and it made it easier for people have the greatest need to make an application for assistance," said Major Richard Watts of the Wilmington Salvation Army headquarters. "In the past, we have had people come to our facilities and make the applications and go forth but we thought this was the best way to get to the people who really need help, so that has caused a little bit of an increase."
It's easy to participate, just stop by and pick an angel off the tree, then purchase what the child needs and bring the merchandise back to the program's location in the mall.
Last year, the Angel Tree Program provided clothing, toys and food for over forty one hundred children in the Cape Fear area.

12 years of amazing technology changes
Since 2002 Atos has had the honor to be the Worldwide Information Technology Partner of the International Olympic Committee. During this period IT has evolved at an incredible pace: smartphones, non-existent in 2002, have passed the 2bn mark in 2013. More than 1.5 Bn of us are using social networks (Facebook, Twitter). 800 000 applications are now helping each of us in every aspect of our life and their simplicity of use has rendered the user manual obsolete. These applications are either free or cost a few euros, making them accessible to each of us. Finally, the time when we had to connect our phone to a PC for updating our agenda or safeguarding our personal data is over: the delivery of the service and the storing of the data are done over the air in the cloud.
We now … Continue reading ...

I was working on the follow-up post to this discussion of 2 Corinthians and the God of all comfort when a guest preacher at my church spoke on the same topic this past Sunday. Jon Smith began his message with the story of the four short hours that his son, Chase, lived after his birth. It is a sad story of grief and loss, but Jon offered some advice that I think is invaluable: Weep with those who weep. Don't immediately quote Romans 8:28. Pray first, then just join in the mourning.
"When you suffer, you often suffer doubly because of the dumb things people say," John observed with a smile.
There's something about tragedy or loss that seems to bring out thoughtless comments from us all. We may not make them every time, but I'm sure we've all been guilty. I know I have. And I've never forgotten the pastoral counsel that one of my friends received after her husband committed suicide: Prepare for incredibly insensitive questions--you will be required to grow in graciousness like you never thought you would. Her pastor was right. Death is unnerving; suicide doubly so.
Comforting others isn't always about opening our mouths. In fact, our sympathetic presence may be all that is needed in the short term. As we all know, that's the only thing Job's friends got right. But also, we need to pray for the endurance of our friends who are suffering:
"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." (Romans 5:3-5)
God is the one who comforts the downcast (2 Cor. 7:6-7), but He often uses us to do so. Paul was clear about that when he told the Corinthians how Titus was used in his life: "But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more." Our presence is often an assurance of God's covenant love.
When words are insufficient, our mere coming to be with those who suffer and our prayers for endurance may be all that is required to be instruments of God's comfort.(photo by vxdigital)

Berkeley owl chick will soon branch out, says expert
The owl chick that has been drawing crowds of fascinated adults and children to Berkeley's Claremont Canyon trail, where its parents made a nest in a Eucalyptus tree some weeks ago, will soon began to "branch out" and explore its surroundings before making its first flight, says Doug Bell, Wildlife Progam Manager at East Bay Regional Parks.
Great Horned Owls are unusual among raptors in that they go through this development phase which involves "branching", namely scrambling around nearby branches using a particular legs and wings action. The explorations can get the chicks into trouble, said Bell, as they might get clumsy and fall out of the tree.
Bell urges people who are visiting the Claremont trail to keep their distance and be respectful of the owls and their chick. "We would encourage people to give them space and to keep their dogs on leash," he said. … Continue reading »
Photos: Baby owl on Berkeley trail is growing up fast
The Great Horned Owl nest on the Claremont Canyon fire trail has been a source of great interest for hikers, birders and, yes, Berkeleyside readers.
We first reported on the nest on March 12 when we received reports of the parent owls diving down on unleashed dogs on the trail. In early April we published photos of a new arrival in the Eucalyptus tree: a fluffy white owl chick, being zealously guarded by its parents.
Now we have the privilege of sharing these wonderful photographs posted onto our Flickr pool by prettiephotos. As is clear, the young owl is developing rapidly, getting bigger by the day and sprouting grown-up feathers. And — squeamish alert — nourishment is being brought in by the ever nurturing parents. … Continue reading »
Berkeley owl family grows, more reports of dog swoops
Last month we brought you news of a pair of Great Horned owls that had made their home in a Eucalyptus tree above the Claremont Canyon fire trail. Berkeleysider Charlie Benton took the photos above which provide evidence that the owl family has grown.
After we published our March 12 story, several readers reported that the owls had been swooping down on their dogs, including the 80lb golden retriever owned by Rob S. of Rockridge, and the 115 lb dog belonging to Matt Eccles. The owls' natural instinct is to protect their territory and their young.
Mark H. reported seeing one owl sitting in an adjacent tree while another one sat on the nest. "It was the presumptive papa who swooped on my two Husky mixes, the day after it grabbed a large German Shepherd by the scruff of the neck. We now take the upper access off Stonewall to grant the owls some peace," he wrote. … Continue reading »
