After Earnings, Is BP Finally on its Way Back to Health?
By Bob Ciura - July 31, 2013 | Tickers: BP, TOT, RIG
The trial of BP (NYSE: BP) and Transocean (NYSE: RIG), the operator and owner of the rig that tragically exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, continues its proceedings. Three years after the explosion, both stocks still suffer the stigma of the oil spill, and both companies are likely to face further financial penalties.
With BP's recent earnings in the rearview mirror, investors are looking for any reason more »
Is the Oil Market Broken?
By Joshua Bondy - July 31, 2013 | Tickers: BP, TSLA, TOT
The market is supposed to change supply to meet changes in demand, yet the oil market appears to be breaking the mold. The price of oil and the number of drilling rigs has skyrocketed, yet oil production has only increased by a small amount. If you want to safeguard your energy investments you need to recognize the difficulties that the energy market is going through, and the lack of straightforward more »
3 French Companies for Your Portfolio
By Federico Zaldua - July 30, 2013 | Tickers: AXAHY.PK, DANOY.PK, TOT
Against what many analysts had expected, there is increasing evidence that France's macroeconomic conditions are improving. For example, since January, the increase in France's PMI new orders has been impressive at 9.1 points (compared to 2.5 points for the Euro-area aggregate). With this in mind, let's take a look at some French companies.

International Oil Stocks on the Cheap
By Reuben Brewer - July 29, 2013 | Tickers: E, RDS-B, TOT
International stocks are trading at a 35% discount to U.S. stocks according to Russ Koesterich, Chief Investment Strategist for BlackRock. Dividend investors looking for undervalued foreign stocks should take a look at Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-B), ENI (NYSE: E), and Total (NYSE: TOT).
Still Room to Run
Koesterich believes that, overall, stocks can keep moving higher because he doesn't expect the Federal Reserve to up rates since more »
Is it Time to Invest in Europe?
By Andrés Cardenal - July 26, 2013 | Tickers: SAN, BAMXF, DB, TOT
The European crisis has been long and painful, and it´s still too early to tell if the Eurozone is leaving the recession behind. However, recent economic data is quite auspicating, so maybe it's time to invest in European companies while they are still cheap.

To Be Profitable, We Need More Regulation
By Joshua Bondy - July 18, 2013 | Tickers: ENB, TOT, TRP
Recently, a Canadian train carrying oil crashed in a small town and killed 50 people. This shouldn't be a great surprise, as more oil is being transported by trains, and statistics show that the risk of a spill by a train is around six times greater than a spill by a pipeline. There is strong opposition to new pipelines like the Transcanada (NYSE: TRP) Keystone XL, but recent events more »
Why Investors Should Consider French Stocks
By Bob Ciura - July 12, 2013 | Tickers: DANOY.PK, SNY, TOT
Investors may write off France as a country of punishing taxes and economic calamity, but the truth is, there are some extremely profitable companies that call France home. It's not hard to understand why. Despite the ongoing headwinds presented by the widespread European fiscal crisis, France remains the fifth-largest economy in the world by gross domestic product, according to the United Nations.
And, recent evidence suggests that the French more »
This Will be the Year That Makes or Breaks Gazprom
By Yong Kwon - July 2, 2013 | Tickers: OGZPY.PK, TOT
There is no energy company more closely associated with Russia's status as a resource superpower than Gazprom (NASDAQOTH: OGZPY.PK). Controlled by the state and chaired by people closest to President Vladimir Putin, the energy giant saw its finest hours in the mid-2000s when global energy prices skyrocketed, giving it and the Kremlin incredible sway over European affairs. As a testament to the power and wealth Gazprom brought to the more »
Dutch Discount Bin: Royal Dutch Shell
By Robbert Manders - June 28, 2013 | Tickers: CVX, XOM, RDS-A, TOT
The Dutch discount is the phenomenon of the comparatively low valuation of Netherlands traded stocks and has been around for a long time. There are a few reasons for this discount but those had been fading in recent years. However, recently the Dutch discount re-appeared in Dutch financial news because the main index lagged the broad European stock market over the past year.
The explanations for the recent Dutch discount more »
What Does Seth Klarman's Baupost See in This Energy Stock?
By Meena Krishnamsetty - June 27, 2013 | Tickers: BP, CVX, COP, XOM, TOT
For about a year, oil major BP (NYSE: BP) has been the largest position in the Baupost Group's portfolio, according to 13Fs filed with the SEC; we track 13Fs as part of our work developing investment strategies. In the first quarter of this year, Baupost, managed by Seth Klarman (whose 1991 investing book Margin of Safety has sold for as much as $1,500), increased its holdings of BP more »
Total SA: Inexpensive yet Overperforming
By Awais Iqbal - June 17, 2013 | Tickers: BP, XOM, TOT
The Oil industry is booming again as WTI crude rose to a two week high in anticipation of an increase in demand for fuel due to better than expected U.S. employment gains. In this oil sector, Total SA (NYSE: TOT) appears to be a good option for investors for several reasons. Firstly, the company is highly undervalued compared to its peers. Secondly, the financial performance of the company is more »
Which Oil Stock Will Make You Really Rich?
By Marina Avilkina - June 17, 2013 | Tickers: XOM, PBR, TOT
As oil/gas reserves have been depleting with time, a large part of these reserves are now controlled by national entities. However, there is still a large share of oil that the private sector explores, produces, and refines. In this article, I will be comparing three major oil companies – ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), Total (NYSE: TOT), and Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) – in terms of value being offered to investors.

Which European Oil Major Is The Best Buy?
By Bob Ciura - June 14, 2013 | Tickers: BP, RDS-B, TOT
Big Oil is an industry with many companies to choose from. When most investors first think of buying energy stocks, the U.S-based giants usually come to mind. However, for those investors willing to broaden their geographical horizons, there are plenty of international energy companies that are just as profitable and shareholder friendly as their American competitors.

This Norwegian Oil and Gas Company Is Cheap
By Anh HOANG - June 11, 2013 | Tickers: XOM, STO, TOT
In the search for investment opportunities in the oil and gas business, I came across Statoil (NYSE: STO), the Norwegian integrated energy company. Statoil's stock price performance has been worse than its peers, including ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) and Total (NYSE: TOT). Since the beginning of the year, while ExxonMobil gained 5.7% and Total decreased by 4.2%, Statoil experienced a 10.6% decline on the market. Is Statoil more »

Is Chevron a Good Stock to Buy?
By Bob Ciura - June 1, 2013 | Tickers: CVX, MRO, TOT
Income investors are on the hunt for stocks that provide current dividend yields that surpass the yield on the S&P 500 Index, which currently stands around 2%. Dividend growth investors look for stocks that raise their payouts on a regular basis, at growth rates that will allow them to maintain purchasing power over time. Growth investors, on the other hand, look for companies that grow sales and profits at more »
An Oil Giant With a Super Dividend
By Nauman Aly - May 29, 2013 | Tickers: CVX, XOM, TOT
Total (NYSE: TOT) is a large European oil company that doesn't get as much attention from investors as US oil companies like ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX). However, it is the third largest player in the oil-gas industry. The United States companies do have a strong track record and a positive growth outlook in the long-term. However, Total should not be overlooked if you are considering a more »
BlackRock Sees Market Rotation: Part 1

Avoiding A Sweeney Todd Haircut: Part Two
By Reuben Brewer - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: COP, RDS-B, TSLA, TOT
In his May market commentary Bill Gross of PIMCO compared the risk of investing today to a Sweeney Todd haircut. Losing one's head in the market isn't a very promising outlook, but you can't collect dividends if you aren't invested. Gross suggests that investors "gradually reduce risk positions in 2013." Here are some ways to do that with a perpetually in-demand commodity.

basic intro please..
17 July 2009 at 11:27am
... Hi folks, I'm an ancient programmer who's trying to get their head around the DOM stuff.
What I'm trying to do it to display a web page that shows the local tide tables for a week/month,etc. I've got the data in a local database table, but am facing a really steep learning curve getting started. Can anyone point me to a real basic first couple of steps intro... the one in the stickies sort of didn't get me on the right track unfortunately?
I really would be grateful!

Hi Steve
What are you trying to achieve? Do you want your data to be editable inside the CMS and therefore you need the DOM?
If you just need to access the data for the front-end, you could write methods in your controller class that get the data from your db table using a simple SQL query. Or use the SilverStripe SQLQuery object: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=sqlquery

Hi Roman,
Sorry for the delay... this is stuff I'm doing for fun, and the bills got in the way! I'd like the ability to display a week or months worth of info, starting from today, but to have the ability to scroll through the data to show next / last week, etc. The problem is that I'm right at the start of the learning curve. I fully understand what the page you've pointed me to is doing, but not how to get from there to a working web page ):
The other problem is that I've been developing for 30 or so years, and need to re-learn stuff to get my head around these new techniques - the advantages are obvious even to a dinosaur like me!

Hi Steve
I'm sure you'll get this working. If you didn't read the tutorials already, I suggest you start there: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=tutorial:1-building-a-basic-site
That should give you enough information to build a basic site.
After that, you'll probably want to create a special "TidePage" to display your data. As far as I can tell from your description, you don't need to modify the data in the Backend, so all you have to do is create a method in the "TidePage_Controller" that pulls the data for you. In pseudo code:
public function TideData(){
query database for tide data
return data as DataObjectSet
In the template (TidePage.ss), you can then output the data like this:
<% control TideData %>
<div class="tideData">
html code for each individual TideData entry.
Here you can access the DB fields using $FieldName
<% end_control %>
As a first step (after completing the tutorials and creating a "TidePage" or similar), I'd try a simple query to get some data from the tide-table:
public function TideData(){
$sqlQuery = new SQLQuery();
$sqlQuery->select = array(
// list fieldnames here
$sqlQuery->from = array('TideTableName');
$sqlQuery->limit = '10';
return $sqlQuery->execute();
Once that is working, you can refine that sql statement to only return data sets for a given time-period. For user-interaction, you could use url query strings to get specific data-sets.

Indian stock-index futures declined, signaling shares may drop for an eighth day, extending a slump to a four-month low.
SGX CNX Nifty Index futures for March delivery fell 0.4 percent to 5,626 at 9:53 a.m. in Singapore. The contract expires on March 28 and Indian markets are closed tomorrow and March 29 for holidays. The underlying CNX Nifty (NIFTY) Index lost 0.3 percent to 5,633.85 yesterday, the lowest close since Nov. 23. The S&P BSE Sensex (SENSEX) index dropped 0.3 percent. The Bank of New York Mellon India ADR Index of U.S.-traded shares slid 0.1 percent.
Indian stocks fell yesterday after a party that supports Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's coalition government said it would prefer elections in October, prompting concerns polls may be held before schedule. Stocks have slumped since the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party, the administration's biggest ally, quit the coalition on March 19, leaving the government 44 seats short of a majority in the lower house of parliament.
"Domestically, the market has lost its sheen as political uncertainty prevails," Amar Ambani, head of research at IIFL Ltd., wrote in an e-mail yesterday. "Expect more choppiness on account of the futures and options expiry. A truncated week could keep market participants on the sidelines."
Policy Changes
The Sensex has retreated 3.8 percent this year amid the weakest economic growth in a decade, the highest inflation among major emerging markets and as more company earnings missed estimates in the three months ended Dec. 31 compared with the previous quarter.
The index trades at 12.6 times projected 12-month profits, compared with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index's 10.4 times. Its 30-day volatility gauge, a measure of price swings, climbed to the highest level since October yesterday.
Singh's government has introduced since September a series of policy changes to revive the faltering economy, including opening up aviation and retail industries to foreigners, easing rules on overseas inflows and cutting subsidies. The government estimates India needs more than $75 billion of foreign capital this year and next to fund the current-account deficit, which widened to $22.3 billion, or 5.4 percent of gross domestic product, in the three months to Sept. 30.
Investors' pessimism on India may be excessive, as the government's commitment to move ahead with reforms is clear from the calibrated monthly increase in diesel prices and moves to liberalize foreign capital inflows, Deutsche Bank AG analysts Abhay Laijawala and Abhishek Saraf wrote in a note.
Foreigners bought $37.5 million of domestic stocks on March 22, extending this year's purchases to $9.9 billion, a record for the period, data from the regulator show. Net inflows last year totaled $24.5 billion, the most among 10 Asian markets tracked by Bloomberg.

Openness Is Dreaminess & Everything In Between
by Keith Canisius (2010, Pad & Pen Records)
I first became aware of Keith Canisius in 2007, when Darla released the eponymous debut from Rumskib, his shoegazer project with vocalist Tine Louise Kortermand. What immediately struck me then was the sense of enthusiasm, ebullience, and yes, even joy that pervades Canisius' music. There's an infectious, starry-eyed giddiness to his swirling guitars and soaring vocals, such that no matter how obviously indebted he is to the great 'gazer bands of yore, you can't help but break into a smile and nod along as his music fills your ears.
That sense continues on through Canisius' solo works, including last year's Waves. However, with Openness Is Dreaminess & Everything In Between, I get the feeling that Canisius is maturing a little and looking to shed a little of the foolishness of his youth.

Rare shot of Jackie with Bruce Lee on the set of "Enter the Dragon."
"Spiritual Kung Fu" has some barely watchable aspects to it, like the bizarre red-wigged ghosts and the Lo Wei attempts at humor. But there are some pretty spectacular fight scenes not to be missed, such as Jackie's fighting test with the 18 monks.
Jackie Chan versus Benny Urquidez from "Wheels on Meals."
At one point this was voted the single greatest on screen fight in history by fans of the genre.Me? I love the fight but more for its gimmicks than its actual choreography. The whole "treat it like training" method Jackie adopts really gives the fight something original. But no, not my favourite fight of all time.
Jackie Chan (snake fist) takes on Hwang Jang Lee (eagle's claw) in "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow."
The opening credits to "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow."
Fist of Fury. Bruce kicks and Jackie flies. "During the final fight scene, Bruce kicks me through a wall, my body flying fifteen feet before hitting the ground — at the time, that was the longest distance a Hong Kong stuntman had ever been thrown without some kind of safety device." - I Am Jackie Chan
The 3 Brothers gettin' it on in "Dragons Forever." Why this didn't happen on film more often is a crime.
7 Little Fortunes. Yuen Biao far right front. Jackie Chan far left. Yuen Wah next to Jackie. Is that Sammo behind Yuen Biao? Not sure.
Jackie Chan's last truly great film, "Drunken Master 2."
I'm not sure we'll see anything like this from Jackie again. He was 40 years old when he made it and, to this day, it contains some of his great one-on-one exchanges.
Jackie Chan's brutal playground fight in "Police Story 2."

Sophie: Well, collaboration, we do a lot of collaborations, so it's really important to able to like, you know, make your points and not feel scared to say what you think.
Izzie: And so, I think, what makes it a good song, and a good song writer is being able to take like experiences from what happens in your life, like say you get like pushrd into a locker something, and being able to turn that into a really good song. One, two, one, two, three, four…
[Band performing "Everybody Else"]
Amy: What do you say to people who are just starting to learn how to play? Girls that want it, start playing instruments, what kind of advice would you give them?
Sophie: Even if it doesn't go right in the beginning, just like, keep trying and don't like, be all like, oh wait it doesn't work out so it, it will never work out.
Lulu: Especially if you're girls.
Izzie: Exactly. Like a lot of people are gonna tell you like, oh what you can't do it coz you're a girl, I've had tons of people tell me I can't drum or why are you drumming, or why did you cut your hair short. Girls don't do that, and so she can't listen to them, and you have to move for it.
Amy: Why do girls sometimes doubt themselves? Why do they sometimes give up?
Izzie: In the media, like, they're tons, they focus so much like on the guys playing music and stuff, and media is always telling girls, oh, you should be cute…

[Band performing "Jack Brown"]
Meredith: I've always heard people talked about something called the bridge. Do you have to include that in every song?
Lulu: It's like a breakdown a bridge.
Izzie: It's like the solo or a chain…
Amy: So when someone says take it to the bridge, it means go to that part of the song.
Girls: Yeah.
Amy: Not literally…
Izzie: Cross the bridge.
Amy: Cross the bridge.
Izzie: Well, it could mean that.
Amy: So, rock and roll music played by girls, what? What are boys your age, are they intimidated by you?
Sophie: I don't, I think it depends.
Lulu: I think that most guys don't really care, they're like, oh it's cool.
Izzie: I think some of the guys are kind of jealous, coz they think, guys are totally the only people who can rock.
Amy: How do you maintain a rock and roll lifestyle and create and write music, and still be in school? How do you balance all those things?

Amy: So you're a bass player, in this band. What do you love about it?
Lulu: I like how it's not guitar, and it's not drums, it's kind of in between, coz you're keeping the rhythm and melody and everything at the same time. You really need to like know how to like use two different hands at the same time, coz guitar is kinda…
Sophie: Yes, your hand does the same thing.
Amy: Izzie, tell me about the drums.
Izzie: I absolutely adore playing the drums, like with the drums you can really just, like let loose and go crazy, and that's something that's really fun, and appealing about the drums, and I love the sound of the drums.

American Gospel Sign To MTV & HYPE Records
American Gospel have signed to MTV & HYPE Records. Check out a message from Gregg Andrew DellaRocca below by clicking "Read More."
American Gospel have signed to MTV & HYPE Records. Check out a message from Gregg Andrew DellaRocca below by clicking "Read More."
American Gospel recently played a stripped down version of their song "Hunting Bear." Check it out below by clicking "Read More."
The last three years have been frantic for The Republic of Wolves co-lead vocalist and guitarist Gregg Andrew DellaRocca. As a member of TRoW, DellaRocca has released two EPs and a full-length since 2009, but he has still found the time (and drive) to embark on a solo side project. Under the guise of American Gospel, DellaRocca explores a more theatric, sunny disposition while still maintaining the dichotomy between hope and sadness. American Gospel's debut, Tall Tales Vol. 1, often juxtaposes dejected narratives over genial arrangements to great success.
Tall Tales Vol. 1 is composed of twelve stories influenced, to some extent, by DellaRocca's personal experiences. Although he never quite delves into overtly intimate happenings, there is a clear indication that, on tracks such as the jangly, horn-backed "The Hanged Man," DellaRocca is pulling from his own life. "The Hanged Man" is a striking song that pulls together a variety of sounds (from the horns that carry the chorus to the well-placed guitar solo that glues the components together) and provides a context for the entire record. There is a cornucopia of resonances present throughout Tall Tales Vol. 1; DellaRocca set out to, in his own words, "include a wide variety of emotions." He does this through the incorporation of trombones, trumpets, saxophones, and banjos, most of which he plays himself. (Friends help out with various horns). DellaRocca's ability to sidestep the potential potholes that inherently come with the use of copious different sounds is impressive. Even when transitioning from a piano-building exposé ("Say") to a haunting blues track ("Hunting Boar"), American Gospel is still able to hold the product together as a whole.
Fans of The Republic of Wolves' brand of ultra-melodic, aggressive music will find Tall Tales Vol. 1 familiar. The acoustic "Forget Not Yet" is the bastard brother of "Tuez Le Tous, Dieu Reconnaitra Les Siens" and "World Lines" could be the eighth song on The Cartographer EP. All three of DellaRocca's bandmates in The Republic of Wolves make appearances on Tall Tales Vol. 1. The album's haunting closer, "Geronimo," finds Mason Maggio lending his voice; Billy Duprey contributes similarly on the old-world inspired "The Falling Feeling," with Christian Van Deurs plucking along on the banjo. As much as American Gospel is a departure from TRoW for DellaRocca, TRoW is still a major player in Tall Tales Vol. 1's overall construction and vibe.

May 15th is just two days away, and there are a few great releases coming out this week. Click "Read More" below to check out the album details and download information for all the great records coming out this week!
The Republic Of Wolves singer/guitarist, Gregg DellaRocca, announced a new side-project just a few weeks ago called American Gospel. The new band is released Tall Tales Vol. 1 on Tuesday, and we're stoked to be teaming up with Gregg for a new PropertyOfZack Track-By-Track feature. Check out the meaning behind each track on Tall Tales Vol. 1 below!
Tall Tales Vol.1
Tall Tales Vol.1 combines story telling and personal experiences to deliver a fun, compelling, and sometimes dark, multi genre musical experience. From a production standpoint the entire album was DIY, and for the most part I'm playing all the instruments (with an exception to the horns). Because most of the songs are about stories I could go on and on about them, but for the sake of time I thought I would sum them all up for you on this track by track. Thank you for reading and enjoy! - Gregg
I Know
Beginning the journey; Arranged primarily to elicit the feeling of complete immersion, "I Know" acts as the overture as well as a portal into the Tall Tales world. Covering a wide range of dynamics, "I Know" introduces the listener to many of the musical and lyrical themes that can be found throughout the album. From a story telling prospective, "I Know" focuses but is not confined to a conceptual idea/story I've been developing for some time now titled: "Daniel's Favor" (I plan on elaborating and expanding on these ideas more thoroughly in the future). In a nutshell "I Know" is about finding someone that you've lost and understanding that the knowledge, that you know nothing, is in the end knowing something quite profound.
This is a song that deals primarily with religion, death and trying to understand my own purpose in life. Written shortly after the passing of my great grandmother, "Bayonet" is about finding your place in the world, and being able to make the decisions to get to that place on your own. Structurally it's short and constantly building, It's broken up into three sections that don't repeat themselves. In comparison to the opening track "I Know", "Bayonet" is much more minimal in design, thus creating a strong point of contrast and setting the tone for track to track dynamics for the remainder of the album.
The Hanged Man
"The Hanged Man" is an up-beat, true story of an interaction I had with a psychic while visiting in East Palestine Ohio. During my reading I was dealt The Hanged Man card multiple times. This along with a few eerily precise predictions turned out to be the beginning of an interesting and somewhat painful journey. The Hanged Man card represents being at a crossroads - one with only two options i.e. in or out, up or down, yes or no. "You may find yourself very much wanting to do something but having no idea what it is or how to do it."
"Say" is the product of a temporary realization, an observation about the fortune of existence. While temporarily sedated under the influence of a questionably legal potpourri, I felt thankful to be alive. My normally depressed, cynical self was washed away and I decided to write something with a little more pop. I based the minimal production style of this song on some Hall & Oates recordings and plan to put together some more material like this in the future.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU AD: Carrick Felix is a draftable player
Going into this season, Arizona State senior Carrick Felix was not really looked at as an NBA prospect.
Coming off a season in which he averaged 10.5 points and 4 rebounds per game while shooting .421 from the field, the 6-foot-6 swingman was a solid college player but nothing more.
All that's changed.
Felix is averaging 15.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while shooting .535 from the floor and blocking at least one bush league UCLA layup attempt for the surprising Sun Devils, and after winning his third Pac-12 Player of the Week Award, seems like he might have the NBA in his future.
Arizona State Athletic Director Steve Patterson, who used to be a general manager in the NBA, thinks Felix will get a shot.
"The great thing about Carrick is he's got his head screwed on, he works hard every day, he works hard every play, day in and day out in practice," he told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf. "He never takes a play off in a game, plays good defense and has shown the capacity for his game to grow considerably."
Patterson said if Felix can stay on his current trajectory there will be a place for him in the NBA, and it's tough to argue. While Felix may not be a first-round selection, players with his size, athletic ability and motor tend to get a look.
Of course, teams never would have been able to see that had Felix not stayed for his senior year.
"I think, unfortunately, everybody focuses on the LeBron Jameses or the Kobe Bryants that are spectacular players that probably don't need four years in college," Patterson said. "But every year, when I was a general manager, you'd sit there and you'd look at the list, and there'd be 200 names on it of guys that are coming out of college.
"Maybe two or three are really ready to go in the pros, and the rest of those guys have given up their college education, given up their chance to grow as players and really eventually put themselves in a position where they could have a career in the NBA, or if not have a far better career outside of basketball doing something else."

Two-Vehicle Injury Collision in Warren County
Date of News Release: 08/09/2011
(Bowling Green, Ky.) -- On Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 10:50 a.m., Kentucky State Police Post 3 Bowling Green responded to KY 185 in Warren County regarding a two vehicle injury collision.
According to Trooper Tomie Walters, Unit 1, a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am driven by Patti Manning (52) of Bowling Green, was traveling south on KY 185 approximately 2 miles from the Warren/Butler County line. Unit 1 crossed the centerline into the Northbound traffic lane in the path of Unit 2, a 2010 Chevrolet HHR driven by William Tyler Browning (22) of Brownsville, KY.
Unit 2 made an evasive maneuver by attempting to run off road into the northbound ditch line to avoid the collision. Unit 1 struck Unit 2 on the northbound side of the roadway with the driver's side front end of Unit 1 colliding with the driver's side front end of Unit 2. Unit 2 overturned on its top after the collision, and was at final rest in the ditch line. Unit 1 was at final rest partially blocking both the northbound and southbound lanes facing east.
The driver of Unit 1 and her passenger, JV Buchanon (58) of Bowling Green, were taken by ambulance to the Medical Center in Bowling Green where they were admitted for non-life threatening injuries. Unit 2 was flown to Vanderbilt by Air Evac for a possible back injury.
The driver of Unit 1 was charged with Operating a Motor Vehicle under the Influence of Drugs 1st Offense.
Trooper Walters is leading the investigation and was assisted on scene by Trooper Jeremy Hodges, Richardsville Fire Department, Medcom, Air Evac, and the Butler Co. EMS.

I just received word that Southern Adventist University is on lockdown due to a shooter and a bomb threat. There are no reported injuries. The ongoing tag #SAUlockdown on Twitter has constant updates. I'll update when I hear more.
Please take time out to pray for everyone!
According to local news and twitter, the lockdown has been lifted after 2 hours and the suspects are in custody!

(Just in case you were unaware, we had a small series of discussion on duck meat)
For Howie, marjolynne and of course brichardos, this one's for you. :P
Yeaaaaaaah, that was fun :D.
Alrightie guys, that's it from me! Remember, we're looking for SUBMISSIONS of YOU GUYS' favorite stuff to put up tomorrow! We'll take up to 2 items per person, but as of the moment, WE HAVE NO SUBMISSIONS! Please remedy this, fellow Tumblrites! ^_^
Submission from xxxcarlos
I'm sorry, but this one just hillarifies me because apparently, shortly after I graduated from Blue Mountain Academy, one of the staff (I BELIEVE he was the Principal) was caught, on camera, texting in church. I dunno about the actual fallout, but it was a thing that was passed around on facebook for a WHILE. xD
Don't front. lol
No, seriously. This was me, every Sabbath. Those things were so rediculously interesting.
Heck, I still pick up BOTH those magazines whenever i get the chance.
And while it may SEEM like i'm going through from day 1, I kinda-sorta am :P. Gonna be skipping around a lot, but hey.
Mentioning this one because apparently, Yvonne's niece thinks that VeggieTales is "for babies." Also, she's like… four! I wholeheartedly disagree, as I still enjoy them myself. Kinda feel bad for her, though. She's missing out.
Hit the little hearty-thing in the corner if you agree with me :P
First post!
Welcome to the tumblrlog! Feel free to follow, send an ask, or reblog. And definitely submit your ideas to be turned into pics! God bless!
Now, I KNOW this is the first one, but to be fair, I still fall victim to this. Repeatedly. Sometimes multiple times a day.
To be fair, they ARE rediculously interchangeable for like 80% of your waking hours…
This is the day where I post my favorite graphics! Now, as a warning, I generally haven't paid much attention to this whole side of things, but hey! Let's see how it goes!
Anonymous said: Am I the only one who sees that the Adventist church is in apostasy? Satan is trying to infiltrate our churches, trying to distract us from the importance of the message. It's the last days of our earth's history but all I see is laodacia when I go to church. Laodecia and shame. And I have been to several churches. It's all the same: a pastor who teaches stuff from the sunday churches (or non christian stuff) , and apologetic adventists who are ashamed of how precious the truth they have is.
Yvonne: Hello, Anon! Sorry it took us so long.
Howie: Yeah… uh… stuff kept coming up. Life stuff. You guys saw the post about my brother… I very much thank you for your prayers… He's doing well. REGARDLESS. we're here to answer a question.
Yvonne: And we have been thinking about your question, and how to tackle it. Howie and I both wanted answer this together, and so here we are.
Howie: Aye. We decided on a chat format. It'd be the most… interactive… and i HOPE effective format that we could think of.
Howie: So… we should probably get started on that question now… rather than… y'know… babbling…
Yvonne: Yeah, good idea. Before we do anything, I think we should explain "Laodicea", especially for the less familar.
Howie: Definately a good idea. Laodicea is one of the seven churches that the Son of Man told John to send a book to, that book describing his visions, in Rev. 1:11.
Howie: I understand that each of those seven churches each got a personal letter-note-thing from John. Thing is, each of those churches were both literal and prohpetic.
Howie: Ah… upon closer inspection, those letter-note things were from God Himself to the ANGELS of those churches.
Yvonne: Wait, really? Reference!
Howie: Heh… hang on a moment while I copy-paste.
Yvonne: (this goes to show you, Anon and everyone else, we're not absolutely knowlegable ourselves. We're just students taking what we know and building upon that)
Howie: "Write this letter to the angel of the church in Ephesus. This is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lampstands:" Rev 2:1. Each of the letter-notes begins as such, though differing in the titles that are dictated, starting with "the one who…" and describing a different point of God's awesomeness.
Yvonne: That's… pretty epic there.
Howie: This is the message from the one who is the First and the Last, who was dead but is now alive:…
Howie: This is the message from the one with the sharp two-edged sword:…
Howie: This is the message from the Son of God, whose eyes are like flames of fire, whose feet are like polished bronze:…
Howie: honestly, i was surprised to find that myself.
Yvonne: Oh, getting back to what we were saying, the churches mentioned all existed in that time period, mentioned in earlier books like Colossians, but they also represent the overall church in their different stages in time. The order mentioned is the order of time, Laodicea being the last. Each letter to the separate churches had a different description of the Son of God, representing what He could bring that church
Howie: That last bit there? lemme look at that a moment…
Howie: (I actually only started doing research on this this morning… 'bout 6pm now. Worked good portion of the day… haven't delved too much into this myself)
Howie: If what you say on that last bit is true, what do you make of the description given to the angel of Laodicea?
Howie: "This is the message from the one who is the Amen—the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's new creation:" Rev. 3:14b
Yvonne: Well, the full message extends to verse 22. In it, it mentions that Laodicea has lost sight of the true Gospel of God. Can you bring in the whole thing?
Howie: sure…
Howie: 14 "Write this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. This is the message from the one who is the Amen—the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's new creation:
15 "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! 16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! 17 You say, 'I am rich. I have everything I want. I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. 18 So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. 19 I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.
20 "Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. 21 Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.
22 "Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches."
Howie: Please note, I'm taking this from the NLT.
Yvonne: Right. So, Laodicea has lost its true purpose as a church. Instead of depending on God, they are depending on their own wealth and possessions and such. A church like that needs to be recreated in the will of God, needs a True Witness to testify of what His sacrifice was all about. So we can learn that the Gospel is about not leaning on ourselves, but looking towards Him. See what I mean?
Howie: Pretty much, the idea that a "true witness" is needed to tell the church that thinks they're pretty set on their own the likely-painful truth that they're not. yes?
Yvonne: Generally, yeah.
Howie: Alright, minor interesting point analyzed. What's up next?
Yvonne: Well, it's a point to be taken into consideration when we look at the tag "Laodicea" being applied to our modern-day church.
Howie: Right. Okay, so first, I think the point was to familiarize the readers with the significance of the Laodicean church. Something else I think may be necessary is to define the term "apostasy" he used.
Yvonne: Ok. I'll leave that to you, good sir.
Howie: Pulling it off of Dictionary.com (wonderful source, by the way…), I'm getting "a total desertion of or departure from one's religion, principles, party, cause, etc."
Howie: It should also be noted that the original Greek term "apostasia" meant "a standing away, withdrawing".
Howie: Interesting to note, the word "Apostasy" is NOT used in the NLT OR the KJV, except as a header. Even there, it's only used TWICE in the New Testament. Once to head 2 Thessalonians 2, and once to head 1 Timothy 4.
Howie: In neither case is it used in direct relation to the church, literal or prophetic, of Laodicea.
Yvonne: Though I can see how it could be applied to it.
Howie: Only vaguely, in my opinion. The English definition of the word "apostasy" necessitates a distinct DEPARTURE from religion… the Greek meaning means pretty much the same thing, but looks like it could be interpreted as "standing aside" from what I see, which would qualify it for association with Laodicea….
Yvonne: But the question still stands: has the Adventist church gone away from their purpose as a church?
Howie: That…. That seems to be a matter that COULD be debatable. In order to go that way though, we'd have to determine the actual purpose of the church AS a church.
Yvonne: You… darn it, you want a specific answer with back-up, don't you?
Howie: Not necessarily. I'm looking more at the idea of "why did the church itself form?" Like, when the early Christians actually started gathering and stuff, what was the purpose?
Howie: I kinda doubt it involved ghost stories and roasted marshmallows….
Yvonne: … I laughed too much with that visual…
Yvonne: But, you basically just said you want a specific answer (what purpose did the early church serve?) with back up (because we'll only get those answers from the Bible).
Howie: …Pretty much.
Yvonne: Ha.
Yvonne: Anyway
Yvonne: Keeping in mind that a church is more than bureaucracy and organization, but rather, it is the gathering of believers and the body of Christ… I think I can pull up some stuff here. Give me a moment.
Yvonne: ok, so. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is obviously one of our reasons for existing. So, going to all nations and baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit can go on the list.
Yvonne: And teaching people to obey what Jesus has taught us.
Yvonne: The early church devoted themselves to prayer and fellowship and the teaching of the apostles (Acts 2:42). So, fellowship with God and man/each other.
Yvonne: This leads into us actually functioning as a community, as a body of Christ, and affirming each other (Ephesians 4).
Howie: Alright, lemme take a look at this…
Yvonne: But but but… I wasn't done yet…
Howie: well, then, obviously continue.
Howie: i just wanna actually see some of what you're looking up XD
Yvonne: Ok. then add in 1 Corinthians 10:31-33. Being an example and a witness to God.
Howie: I shall. Also, take a look at Acts 2:42, but extend to the end of the chapter.
Yvonne: Ahhhh, good catch there. Acts 2:42-47?
Howie: Yep. That seems to be what the earlier church was about: Coming together, sharing what you have, worshiping, sharing meals, and "enjoying the goodwill of all the people."
Yvonne: *thumbs up*
Howie: >chuckle<
Howie: Now…
Howie: I'd forgotten to note something earlier in plain terms.
Howie: Just remembering now.
Howie: or…
Howie: no, we hadn't actually determined that yet.
Howie: /facepalm.
Yvonne: hmm?
Howie: Wanted to say that we'd determined that Apostasy =/= Laodicea…. did we?
Howie: …I mean, it's not used in the Bible in direct relation…
Yvonne: I don't think Laodicea can be determined as absolutely stepping aside from the work of God. They weren't hot, but they weren't cold either. They were just… there.
Howie: Right… Then again, looking, the Anon didn't directly tie the two together himself. Just strongly suggested it.
Yvonne: True. Maybe we should jump into the comparison of the modern-day church and Laodicea.
Howie: Well, we finished defining what the church is SUPPOSED to be… good way to tell if our church has apostated is to see what it is today, I guess.
Yvonne: Guess so. So, what was our list?
Howie: …We had a list? O_o
Yvonne: Howieeeeee… smh. (:P)
Howie: No, seriously….
Howie: If we had a list, please inform the readers. And me.
Yvonne: ok. So, what we gathered about the purpose of the church is:
1. To spread the Gospel (Matt. 28: 18-20)
2. To fellowship with God and man (Acts 2: 42)
3. Worship the Lord (Acts 2: 46)
4. Share what we have (Acts 2: 44)
5. Function as a community and a body (Eph. 4)
6. Be an example and a witness for God (1 Cor. 10: 31-33)
Yvonne: did I forget anything?
Howie: Not anything I can recall. But you know my memory.
Yvonne: (His memory sucks)
Howie: Yeah, pretty much.
Howie: ANYWAYS…
Howie: Okay, so that's what we're supposed to be.
Yvonne: Is the Adventist church that list up there?
Howie: I've… uh…. I dunno, actually. There's too many churches with too many standards and habits, even within the Adventist sect. Not to mention that even within a particular church family, those characteristics will vary from person to person.
Yvonne: Very true. Seventh-day Adventism is very big, and each individual home church has its different feel. But looking at the condition of the different regions of the church, maybe we can get an idea.
Howie: …you know, for some reason, i'm reading this and getting a documentary feel XD
Howie: Fact is, Yvonne actually went and asked a few friends about the circumstances at THEIR churches, as well as their views on the matter. We wanted to get as wide a breadth as possible.
Howie: …I forget where everyone was from. What areas are represented?
Yvonne: It's mainly America. We have a New Englander, 2 people from the North East, 2 from the South, and 3 at the gateway to the Mid-West. Sorry I couldn't get anyone from the West or even outside the country.
Yvonne: But if I were, I know that outside America, the story is very different
Howie: Entirely likely…
Howie: I read over the information that we got from our… volunteers, i guess.
Howie: Most of them seem to agree with the idea of the current church being in the prophetic period of Laodicea, though their reactions seemed slightly varied.
Howie: …minorly.
Yvonne: But still really interesting observations.
Yvonne: I basically asked them what their experiences have been within the SDA church and if our modern church is reflectant of Laodicea. One stated that it really depends on what local church you look at. Another said that many of us do love the Lord but get preoccupied with the responsibilities of this world. And another said that she's experienced the younger generations being really on fire for God but the older generations lose their fervor.
Howie: I particularly agree with the one response, saying that we're in the TIME of Laodicea, and that being here during this part of the timeline isn't a problem. He states that the problem is that we're STAYING the Laodicean church. His point is that "when we decide to break out of that mold is when we can finally begin the closing work."
Howie: There is one thing I'd actually thought of while reading through all this.
Howie: It's a thought as to WHY we are all Laodicean-like. It seems to me as though the young expect the elder members to move foreward due to experience and foresight, and wisdom that comes with age. But older members look at the youth's vitality and energy, and most importantly, passion, and feel those days are behind them. They leave the responsibility to the young. It's entirely possible that the generation gap keeps the two from working together much these days… or maybe there's more at play.
Yvonne: There probably is. Around the world, there are lots of churches driven by the young people. Whenever I hear about them, it's the youth bringing out the message and reaching to people. But the elders open up their homes and make things possible for them to have an actual place to worship. That's even how it happened in Ghana when my family converted: my uncle wanted to open a church in the town and my grandmother opened up her home and even served fellowship lunch.
Howie: Okay, that right there? That's awesome.
Howie: My own personal experience is rather different. I see the gap… with neither side really willing to do their part for the lack of the other's experience or drive.
Howie: I actually don't attend my home church much at all anymore.
Howie: But that's mostly because when I stopped going, it fealt DEAD to me. It even FELT like my own father only went to say he did, so he could berate us for not.
Howie: My mother has been a huge help to our church community though…
Howie: …But the main reason that's the case is that A) there's a lack of willing participants, and B) my mother's self-sacrificing to a fault.
Howie: I understand the church has changed since then… new pastor and all. Really helped. I just haven't been able to bring myself back. Instead, when I do go to church, it's typically to the one 20 minutes away rather than the one 2 minutes down the road.
Howie: (Also, I'm allergic to something in the rugs… always end up with a runny nose)
Yvonne: *chuckle*
Howie: ….it's true…
Yvonne: I understand your point of view; it's kind of how my current home-church is now, or at least was. I grew up in 2 churches. My first church was huge and always trying to reach out to the community; my second one, my current home-church, has dwindled since I got there. A lot of the members didn't want to bring in new members or participate, and a lot of the youth left because of the undesirability there. But things are improving. There are more adults doing ministry and evangelism, and the church is growing. But that never would have happened if there weren't the select few that threw themselves into the fray first.
Yvonne: Plus, it may help that they don't have many youth to depend on anymore, but that's an entirely different subject.
Howie: I was in a touring handbell choir… visited a good few churches. It seems to me that the lower the percentage of youth there are in the church, the less passionate and driven they seem.
Yvonne: Well, they do say that the youth will bring in the End times, mostly because they are less bogged down with the troubles of this world.
Yvonne: and then college happens. >.<
Howie: Sorry, i've never actually heard that. Who is this "they" that say this?
Yvonne: well, it's been said for a while. Ellen G. White has said it in her writings. I think the most famous one is in her book Education, "With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Savior might be carried to the whole world!". That sentiment has been carried on by our church ever since. I even remember Pastor Dwight Nelson devoting a sermon to that. I think it was called "A Laptop, a Cell Phone, and Plane Ticket"
Yvonne: And, apparently, we've proved their point.
Howie: …we have?
Howie: also, i fail to understand what those three items….
Howie: ah, forget it.
Howie: XD
Howie: anyways.
Yvonne: lol, watch the sermon. It's segmented on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS6KwAv61f0) and there's also the full version available (http://media.pmchurch.org/wmedia/2008-09-27_Primetime-4.wmv).
Howie: i'll…. maybe…. check it out…
Howie: :P
Howie: anyways.
Howie: I honestly haven't heard of that particular mindset.
Yvonne: Really? Ever?
Howie: …nope.
Howie: My home church is pretty predominantly elder-folk.
Howie: Every sermon seemed geared towards the elder-folk.
Howie: The youth were usually treated and perceived as elderfolk-in-waiting.
Howie: As far as I've seen from my visits, it still IS that way.
Yvonne: Huh. I guess I was fortunate enough to grow up in churches that really tried to push the young people, no matter how uncomfortable
Yvonne: ….This is going to be a long post.
Howie: …No kidding.
Howie: ANYWAYS!
Howie: Where were we in the grand scheme of things?
Yvonne: Adventist church = Laodicea, yes or no?
Howie: Ah.
Yvonne: I think we established, prophetically, yes. right?
Howie: Yes.
Howie: Literally, obviously not.
Yvonne: But also, as one of our volunteers said, that I find I agree with, "Being lukewarm is a trait that we find in the Christian church in general. It's the state we're all in right now in my opinion. To put the blame on any single Christian denomination is an unfair accusation."
Howie: This is true.
Yvonne: So, what we've established is that currently, our church is in a Laodicean state, but we don't have to stay wedged there. God is calling a remnant, and it's our job to step up to the plate.
Yvonne: Right?
Howie: How do you mean, "calling a remnant"? A remnant of what?
Yvonne: A remnant people. A people that will spread the Gospel to the world and stand strong in the presence of God.
Howie: Ah, but remaining from what?
Yvonne: Clarify.
Howie: Why do they "remain"?
Howie: "remnant" pretty much means "those who remain"
Yvonne: Because everyone else has been… contaminated? (horrible word choice) They would have been decieved by Satan's ploys. The remnant are those who "keep God's commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus." (Rev. 12:17), even under persecution.
Yvonne: Huh, Wikipedia has a page on the Adventist belief of the Remnant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remnant_(Seventh-day_Adventist_belief)). They have everything, don't they?
Howie: That's an oddity.
Howie: O_O
Yvonne: the Wikipedia page or the remnant?
Howie: the wikipedia. XD
Yvonne: lol
Yvonne: anyway, back on topic
Howie: Right.
Howie: So, if we go back to the original question, we've defined apostasy; we've determined that we DO seem to be in the time represented by Laodicea;…. what's up next?
Howie: Did we ever determine if the word "apostasy" applies to the Adventist church/community?
Yvonne: I think we established that we couldn't entirely because the church hasn't completely shyed away from what it is to be a church of God.
Howie: …this is true.
Howie: When I went establishing that though, I was specifically trying to disassociate the term from Laodicea
Yvonne: And we established that the church is Laodicea, but Laodecia is not exactly apostasy.
Howie: True.
Howie: Alright then, that bit's settled…
Howie: It seems to me as though the Anon who asked this question was attempting to call attention to the way the church isn't giving out the message it should be. Perhaps that's the case. I don't know from personal experience.
Yvonne: I understand that point of view. It seems that the church is shying away from the hard-hitting messages more and more. The Daniel and Revelation Seminars don't seem as rampant as they did 10 or 15 years ago.
Yvonne: Those are the messages that define and separate us.
Howie: I'd agree. Though I think that the main reason those particular messages lost… 'popularity'… is because after hammering them in, people stop really getting impact of it. It becomes commonplace and… to many, dull.
Yvonne: It's somewhat true, though. How many of us can drone on about the Three Angels' Message and not even bat an eye? It's sad, really.
Howie: Depressingly, I find myself almost on the same boat. But then, I'm ADHD. A sermon actually has to be interesting to me to hold my attention. That doesn't happen that often. I actually work better with small group studies, as I can actually participate and interact. The whole pastor-sermon dealie feels more like a lecture I know I won't get tested on.
Yvonne: So, I guess it comes down to making the message have a meaning for us again.
Howie: Pretty much. That message SHOULD have an impact. I just personally think the current format for teaching it doesn't exactly work for everyone. Teaching it so often has burnt out a lot of people. The message isn't necessarily dead… It's just that it's…. kinda recovering, I'd say. Not the message itself… just our ability and inclination to get it out there.
Yvonne: Aka, the CHURCH is recovering.
Howie: …after having burnt out on that message. Yeah, pretty much.
Yvonne: So… I think after 2 hours, we've gotten to "We're very much Laodicea, but we're working on it."
Howie: Also, "Apostasy isn't the right word to use to describe the church at this time."
Yvonne: But we still need to make an effort ourselves to do God's will for the church, together.
Howie: ….AAAAAND she's making us talk in tandem. THAT MEANS A WRAP-UP, FOLKS!
Howie: but yeah, she's right.
Yvonne: *glares at Howie*
Howie: …O_O
Yvonne: I hope this helps, Anon
Howie: As do I. Though, I DO want to mention something else… While this particular question did lead to this particular DISCUSSION, hopefully clearing up some things for some people, I sense a certain… vibe… from the question. I had a friend in highschool who seemed to have the same mindset as you on this one, and would have worded the question similarly. But he is (at least WAS) the kind of person to look around and only see how the church wasn't exactly… up to snuff, to put it simply. I wanted to note that pointing out apostasy doesn't seem to be accurate, and pointing out Laodicea seems to be more complaining about something that just IS. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this. If so, I apologize. But accusations and complaining very rarely bring forth positive change, to my knowledge.
Yvonne: Every church will have its issues. We are human; we're far from perfect. But we keep going in Jesus' name. If we see a problem, we pray about it, and we go where He wants us to go. And that's all I have to add.
Howie: I agree wholeheartedly. Anyways, that's two and a half hours… I think we've pretty much completely wrapped up. Know that we prayed about this discussion-bit-thing beforehand, and we hope that this helps whoever God needs it to.
Yvonne: God bless, and have a good night.
Another old favorite of mine, and I apologize for reblogging it and making it take up like, your whole dash. Anywho, I loved this one because it educated myself on a topic I'd only been vaguely aware of, and because of the experimentation with the new format. And chances are, we'll use it again if another appropriate question pops up. And if we have the time. It was fun. :D
Anywho, that's all from me for the day! Tune in tomorrow for my favorite graphics!

Nay on the "Pork Rib Bites with BBQ Sauce". It's a bag of bones with a tiny bit of meat covered in a sweet BBQ sauce. Not worth it.
Mushroom sauce for pappardelle (NO cream or tomatoes)
Another vote for the use of porcini water, it adds so much umami.

Anyone use Plated/ Blue Apron/ Hello Fresh? What Other choices are in the area?
I have a friend who began purchasing from Blue Apron last summer. Part of the reason was that I was convalescing from a hip revision at her house and she wanted me healthy and out of there ASAP! She likes to cook but hates to shop. At the time you had a limited choice from Blue Apron: either vegetarian, or meat, poultry and fish. She does not eat fish, so it was always vegetarian. It was pretty good. Now, they have moderated their choices so if you don't eat fish, you can choose dinners that include meat and poultry but not fish, and I've had a couple of those lately. There was a period in early fall where it seemed like they were giving out the bottom of the produce bin, but that has improved as of late. The dinners were supposed to be for two, but we found that we could invite a couple over we are friends with and have enough food for four. Some of it is fantastic, some not so much, but I liked the concept. I saw the guys from Plated on Shark Tank, and I couldn't see how their concept could succeed.

10. Despite being taken in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Vikings, Dallas actually had a third round grade on Dawkins. The Cowboys liked the fact that he is a high-motor player despite being considered slightly undersized for the position at 6'2 and 292 lbs.
