The Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs will duke it out at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday night (Jets vs. Leafs tickets,) with the Jets playing their first game since being eliminated from playoff contention.
The Jets were officially eliminated from contention for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference on Thursday, after a loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Meanwhile, the Leafs are back on track after two straight wins, but their prior eight-game losing streak has them a point behind the Columbus Blue Jackets for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
The Jets will start Ondrej Pavelec for the fourth straight game, while Toronto is sticking with James Reimer after an injury to Jonathan Bernier.
Winnipeg is without Keaton Ellerby and Zach Bogosian (day-to-day), and Zach Redmond will play in a third-pairing role. James Wright, Mark Scheifele, and Chris Thorburn are also out for the season. Toronto is without Bernier, as well as Joffrey Lupul (day-to-day).
Here is tonight's viewing information:
TIME: 6:00 PM Central
ONLINE: TSN1290.ca
My Prediction: I believe the Jets will play very calmly with the playoff race officially over. With the opportunity to throw a wrench in the Leafs' playoff aspirations, the Jets win 4-2. Byfuglien, Trouba, Frolik, and Little tally in the win, while Pavelec stops 23.
It's time to enjoy the final nationally televised Jets game of the year, folks!

A South Korean court just approved a plan to keep SsangYong Motor (SYMC) out of liquidation. In granting its approval the court agreed with a recent report that showed SsangYong is worth more alive than dead. After entering their version of Chapter 11 back in February, the company was faced with liquidation unless they came up with a convincing argument that they could turn things around.
According to the PriceWaterhouse report, the liquidated value wouldn't be nearly as great as a restructured, lean-and-mean automaking SsangYong. The final restructuring report needs to be completed by mid-September, but is already going well apparently. The new plan includes a significant reduction in workforce and a new model range, starting with the diesel-hybrid Eco C200 CUV, that should be out late this year. Full press release after the jump.

Press Release:
SsangYong Motor (SYMC) today cleared a significant hurdle in its restructuring plans when a South Korean court gave its approval to put the plans into action.
The court confirmed a recent Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers assessment that the manufacturer had a greater value as a going concern than its liquidated value, and ordered SsangYong to submit its full restructuring plan by mid-September. Much of this is already in place, including a vital new model programme and a reduction in the workforce by over a third.
Paul Williams, managing director of distributor Koelliker UK Ltd. said: "This is the news we were hoping for and it means that SsangYong now has the lifeline it needs to implement major changes. The future will continue to be difficult, as it is throughout the auto industry, but the result should mean a leaner, much more efficient SsangYong. We already know that there will be a broader range of passenger cars using the latest petrol, diesel and hybrid technology, and the first – the C200 – will go into production later this year. Our dealers can now go forward with renewed confidence."
SsangYong applied for, and was granted court receivership in February after the fall-out of the international credit crunch, a drop in demand and even higher raw material, oil and energy prices. Court receivership is similar to US Chapter 11 status, giving the company protection fromcreditors and time to formulate and implement a corporate resuscitation plan. Under the arrangements, the court appointed former Hyundai Motor president Lee Yoo-il, and SYMC vice-president in charge of finance, Park Young-tae as co-legal administrators.
Despite these uncertainties, SYMC has forged ahead with the development of the new C200 'compact urban vehicle,' showing it at the Seoul Motor Show and most recently at the Barcelona Motor Show earlier this month. Styled in Europe, the C200 is a new monocoque design engineered for both front and four wheel drive, with advanced petrol, diesel and diesel hybrid engine options. It is scheduled for production later this year.
In the UK, the SsangYong line-up of Kyron, Rexton and Rodius passenger cars starts at £14,995 with light commercial versions of the Kyron and Rexton also available. SsangYong is fully participating in the government scrappage scheme which offers £2,000 off of a new car when an old (10 years old or more) car or van is traded-in for scrap.

My second tattoo; lyrics from The Wonder Years song 'Won't Be Pathetic Forever'.
It's a reminder that no matter how god-awful life is, I'm still stronger. It's just a positive way to think, and as I'm in love with both the band and the message, it felt right to get it on me.

Basically all they have done is quick soak some dried beans and charge you 4 bucks a pint rather than .50 cents for a 1 lb bag. Sorry, those weren't fresh peas more than likely.

I eat fresh black eyes (and pink eyes and lady peas ect.....) all summer long. They are ready to eat as soon as 20 minutes after they first come to a boil depending on how vigorously you let them boil and how "al dente" you like them.

Nonetheless it turned out supergreat! Still working on perfecting the black eyed peas since I had to modify a bit due to the fact that he really doesn't like meat in his beans. His family were born and raised in Mississippi so I'm up against a very knowledgeable and critical family of cooks! However after about 3 years om ready to showcase some culinary arts skills. My mother although not born and raised in the south wad the only sister of seven that I thought could really cook. All holiday dinners were at our house and my mom cooked a lot of soul food southern dishes. Not sure where she got it other than the fact that she had five kids of her own. I dont ever remember a time where I ate my grandmothers food. All that to say that I love the recipes that I tried so far and o look forward to beginning this journey with my secret weapon (you) at my side.

"If I knew how to do it, I'd paint the moon, the stars around you,
paint the perfect sunset, but I couldn't make it more beautiful than you…"
The sound of my alarm wakes me from my peaceful slumber, and I reluctantly untangle myself from my dreams of Scotty.
Immediately, I sense the smell of something fishy.
Actually, it smells of pancakes. Which is exactly why I know something is up. My everyday breakfast usually consists of a piece of toast, cereal, or a granola bar. My father and Jessica have always left me to fend for myself when it came to meals other than dinner.
A good morning text from Scotty provides a temporary distraction, but I know I can't avoid the inevitable any longer.
I quietly dress myself in my favorite jeans, a flannel, and sandals. Usually I don't feel compelled to wear makeup in the morning, but since I'll be seeing Scotty, I think I can make an exception. And I should probably do something with my hair, too.
After applying a light coat of mascara, blush, and a sweet layer of lip gloss, I curl my hair into loose waves. I organize my books and place them neatly into my backpack, wash my hands, find a novel to slip in my bag, and brush my teeth for the second time. I'm stalling.
Finally, I realize I can't put it off much longer. Grabbing my backpack, I flip off my light switch, retrieve my phone, and head downstairs. The front window reveals a peachy pink sky, stretching from one end of the horizon to the other. There are no clouds in sight, and a splash of sunlight reflects off the fresh spring flowers. Today will be beautiful, no doubt.
I take a deep breath and walk into the kitchen, where the aroma of pancakes and maple syrup is strong enough to make my stomach cry with longing. Jessica is standing by the stove, where she slides a fresh batch of pancakes onto a plate. My dad is reading his newspaper at the table.
Jessica spots me first, smiling her catty, toothpaste-commercial smile. "Good morning, Alexa. I thought I'd make you a nice breakfast to start the day off with."
"Thanks," I mumble, taking my seat across from my dad. My eyes stay glued to the sunny placemats as Jessica pours orange juice in the glass in front of me.
"You're welcome," she purrs, laying her hand on my father's shoulder as she walks back, a signal.
My father folds his newspaper and sets it aside, eyeing me from across the table. "So, Alexa…"
I glance up briefly.
"That boyfriend of yours that we…stumbled upon yesterday. How is it that this is the first time we're hearing about him?" he asks, coating his anger with mock curiosity.
"Well…" I begin, only stopping soon after. I have no idea what to say. If I tell my dad I just met Scotty, and didn't have time to tell him, he'd flip out at me for jumping into a relationship with some random guy. If I explain that I was trying to hide it, he'd flip out at me even more. I'm completely and utterly trapped.
"I wanted to tell you guys, but you haven't been around much," is what I finally tell them, which is partly the truth. "And whenever you were around, I didn't want to bother you."
There, that sounded okay, right?
Jessica jumps in. "You wouldn't have bothered us, dear. We want you to be honest with us about things like this. Your father and I didn't appreciate walking in on the two of you."
There she goes again. Your father and I. God, I can't stand her.
"I'm sorry, I know it's sudden and I know I didn't go about handling it in the right way, but I promise I'll be completely honest with the both of you from now on," I say as sincerely as possible.
"Good," my father replies with a stiff nod. "Now, I'd like to meet this young man again…properly. And apologize for my outburst."
"Well, see…Scotty lives in North Carolina, and he's here on spring break, so we don't have many more days left for you two to…meet again," I tell him. "He leaves tomorrow."
Saying the words out loud shock me briefly, as I realize today is my last full day to be with Scotty.
"That's unfortunate," Jessica says, hiding a smile behind her painted lips. "Long distance relationships never work out. I say we don't even bother making the effort. Besides, honey, we have that meeting tonight." She comes up behind my father and kisses the top of my head. I feel like vomiting all over her designer shoes.
"You're right," my dad agrees, placing his hand over hers. "Well, we should get going."
They rise, grabbing their briefcases before leaving the house, not even a single "goodbye" or "have a nice day at school" uttered. Tears well up in my eyes as I carry my plate of soggy, untouched pancakes to the sink. I notice the blurry, green numbers on the clock above the stove. Scotty will be here any minute. He can't see me like this.
I hurriedly dry my eyes with a paper towel and gather my things, just as Scotty's truck pulls up at my house.
The sight of him getting out and walking to the door makes me smile, ever so slightly. He rings the doorbell and I swing my backpack over my shoulder, stepping out into the morning with him. His arms find their way around me, bringing me a sense of comfort and relief. Finally, someone who actually cares about me.
"Good morning, sweetheart," Scotty mumbles against my neck, before pressing a gentle kiss to my skin. He pulls back, smiling tenderly.
"Good morning," I mimic, threading my fingers with his. "You didn't have to get out of the car. I know how tired you must be."
"Well, what kinda daggum boyfriend would I be if I didn't greet you at the door?" he teases, pecking my cheek. We walk to his truck together, and drive the short miles to my school.
Scotty pulls up at the back entrance, shutting his engine off. I haven't said an entire word the whole ride here, so he must know something is wrong.
"You're awful quiet today," he observes softly.
I feed him the typical excuse. "I'm just tired."
"Did your..I mean..did they..say anything to you?" Scotty asks, and I can't help but notice the way he's nibbling on his bottom lip.
My thoughts scatter in all different directions as I reply. "Yes."
"They're not mad," I tell him. It isn't exactly the full truth, but it's better than the whole truth.
They don't care.
* * *
Sitting through my blur of classes is extra difficult today. I can't manage to concentrate on anything, and even Erica's bubbly conversation can't keep me from wanting to burst into tears at the drop of a hat.
Scotty is leaving. Tomorrow. Hundreds of miles away, for God knows how long.
I'm grateful when the bell finally rings, signaling the end of another school day.
I exit the building, head straight for Scotty's car and hop in eagerly.
"Hey, how was your-"
My lips cut him off, moving gently against his mouth, longingly. The warmth of his hand finds it way to my lower back, cradling me closer. Scotty's unshaved jaw scratches against mine as we make up for lost time, and my head is swimming in a pool of color.
Breathless, Scotty pulls back, licking his lips slowly. "Well, hello to you too."
I blush deeply, sliding my hand into his. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
"Don't apologize, baby. I'm not complaining." He winks.
"So…I thought since…today's our last day together before I leave…I could take you somewhere special," Scotty murmurs softly, tucking a stray piece of hair behind my ear. "If that's all right."
"A surprise sounds wonderful," I tell him.
* * *
About fifteen minutes later, I find myself in the middle of a dream.
Scotty, in his perfect way, leads me to the middle of the park where we first met.
"Wait right here, I just have to grab a few things from my truck," he orders sweetly, tipping his head down to kiss my forehead. He walks back to his truck, pulling out a large blanket and basket. He carries them back over to the tree, and together, we spread the blanket on the soft grass.
I take my seat close to Scotty, and he captures my lips between his own, gifting me with a gentle kiss.
Smiling, he opens the flap of the basket, pulling out a small bouquet of daisies, handing them to me.
My heart is overflowing as I take the flowers, lifting them to my nose to smell. "My favorite," I express happily, in a daze.
Scotty reaches out and takes one of the daisies, sliding it through the hair next to my ear. "Beautiful," he says.
I watch as he sticks his hand into the basket once more, slowly pulling out a black velvet box. My pulse quickens as he reveals a sparkling silver promise ring.
"I thought I'd…leave you something to remember me by," he says, a lump visible along his throat.
"You didn't have to leave me anything," I whisper. "I would've remembered you anyway."
"Well…I figured it'd be nice for you to…look at it and think of me. I really love you, Alexa. I hope you know that." Scotty holds the ring gently between his fingers, biting his lip.
"I love you, too."
Gently, he takes my hand and slides the ring onto my finger, placing a gently kiss upon it as he does so. "We're going to make it through this. We'll be together, no matter what."
I believe him, despite what Jessica said earlier about long distance relationships.
"I'm just so glad I have you, Scotty."
"You never have to worry about being alone or scared, not with me. I'm always going to be here," he says softly, gathering my face in his hands. He brings me towards him and our lips fall into a slow, passionate kiss. The adrenaline that runs through my veins is overwhelming, and my body feels like it's floating six feet off the ground. Scotty slides the basket aside and guides me onto the blanket, settling on top of my trembling body. His chest is heavy against mine, and his belt buckle digs into my thigh.
Scotty's hand slides underneath my neck, supporting my head as he deepens the kiss. My arms helplessly move against his back, rubbing aimless patterns.
In the middle of our kiss, Scotty pulls back just slightly and mumbles, "I have another surprise."
I whisper back, "What would that be?"
His arms squeeze tightly around my body, and his lips find shelter at my collarbone.
"You're coming with me."
"Oh, nothing compares to you,
you know it's true…"

There's seven seconds on the clock, you deek the defender as he eats the parquet, you do a somersault in the air, culminating in a righteous jam accentuated by the announcer exclaiming: THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN!!!! ….. sound familiar? Just when you thought the days of NBA Jam were forever lost to antique gaming systems and troublesome emulators, EA Sports decides to hit you And-1 from the ankle up by introducing NBA JAM for XBOX 360 and PS3. So leave it to local PR guru's Knuckle Rumbler to throw a launch party, hosted by Bun B, featuring exclusive demoing ability of the new twist on the arcade classic…… oh that's right, we're in Austin, FOR FREE. DJ Protege will be killing it while you sip on free cocktails and munch on complimentary hors d'hoeuvres while your friends embarrass a virtual Lebron James with likes of Paul Pierce, Derrick Rose and other praise-worthy NBA-ers, as well as the classic lineup of All-Stars. Keep it 64-bit and make sure to wear your retro kicks, and as always, don't forget to RSVP! Not to bum you out or anything but I'll probably embarrass you… but really try and put out my fire…. BOOM SHAKA LAKA!
Since moving to Austin, I've become familiar with the whole 'throw-a-party-market-yourself' campaign that seems to be running rampant across the city. Recently I went to a small apartment complex opening that featured a DJ, some free sweet tea vodka, and an interesting presentation of some of the rooms available for rent. Tomorrow's event, however, takes this seemingly overdone campaign and flips it on its head, breathing new life into the world of creative marketing. Yes there will be free drinks supplied by Tito's Vodka, Budweiser, Republic Tequila, and Waialua Soda Works. Yes there will be free food supplied by My Fit Foods, Luna Bar, and Backspin Bar & Grill. But.. a performance by the Southern Sirens? All I know is they will be mingling with the crowd and presenting some sort of dance/musical performance hybrid that, if judging by the pictures from this year's SXSW, should be well worth it:
And did I mention this is all supporting the grand re-opening of the IMT Monterey Ranch, who you'll have to google to believe that the following photos are accurate:
If this isn't convincing enough to make reschedule your Thursday night plans I don't know what will, but as always with these type of events, make sure you RSVP! Word is its almost at capacity! Its going to be a night of indulgence and debauchery, well, if I have anything to do with it it will… expect lots of photos (hopefully some provocative video) to follow!
What is better than seeing three legit bands perform in a venue that truly lives up to its name?? Seeing those bands for FREE! That's right, tonight at The Hole in the Wall our friends in Grandchild and The Amorist, a band you need to check out if you haven't already, are supplying hump day entertainment for … zero dollars. If that isn't an excuse to make it out, then I don't know what to tell you. See you there!

There's few things I love more than Sunday brunch. Seriously though - mimosas, weekend stories, delicious food, beautiful weather, good friends.. it's a killer combo. Austin offers so many wonderful weekend brunches, so I think I might try to go every weekend! I've gotten a lot of great recommendations to keep me going for months.. what are your favorite spots to go?
This Sunday I went down the street to Takoba on east 7th to enjoy their $1 mimosas, freshly baked tortilla chips, outside patio and delicious brunch food ! I got the chilauquiles with side of potatoes and refried beans mmmm o_0
:: j ::
One of the perks of living on the east side is all the amazing restaurants we have just a bike ride away! i met up with anthony on my lunch break at Blue Dahlia Bistro !
To our pleasant surprise, it was happy hour ! So we both sprung for a tartine, opened faced sandwiches with some type of spread on it…ONLY FOUR DOLLARS! Our tarine of choice? Hummus with avocado, sprouts and tomato on a fresh baked wheat bread.
I loved the atmosphere of the Blue Dahlia.. they have a great little outdoor patio where we enjoyed the amazing Austin fall weather (the inside is equally as beautiful). They pay attention to little details.. for example the check is presented under a rounded, smooth stone and an inspirational quote :D
They are part of the Go Local Austin community, which means if you present them with your Go Local Card, you get a discount on your meal ! I've had my Go Local card since February, and I can't tell you how many deals I've gotten from it.. definitely a worth while purchase (only ten dollars). Go Austin !

No rating
GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I would have to say personally it is a great school. We chose to put our 2 youngest children here, our home school was unable to accomodate one of the children. No worries. Very pleasant experience.
I would definitely give Bethany a 5 plus star. I have checked out schools in our area, and sent my children to Bethany, now they sent theirs to Bethany and on to Shoreland they all went, and they got a superior education by a very dedicated staff, and learned much more about our Lord than we could teach them. My granddaughter tested 89% in the Nation. Read fluently in the first grade. I love what this church and school have meant to us.
These past reviews are old so I needed to give an update. Bethany has an excellent teacher staff. The church supports them as they further their education. The biggest problem I have seen is the lack of parents getting involved with the school activities. These parents who are not involoved with the school are the ones who do the most complaining and are the biggest critics. As with any school when the parents are involved and active the better the learning envirnoment is.
The communication between the school, teachers, and parents is greatly deficient at Bethany. Many times parents are given one day notice or less about student activities. they claim to have great Christian values and discipline, yet they do not discipline at all, and students are allowed to get away with alot of poor behavior that would result in suspension or expulsion at any other school.
The teachers are top of the line with the utmost attention to discipline in learning and filling young minds with the knowledge of Jesus Christ and what He has done for us to save us from our sins. Although Bethany is a small school, it makes up for it in large rewards through Jesus Christ.

Don't feel bad, if I offer you my time and help you out, it's because I want to do it. I can understand that, let me know if you need any help.
I'm okay, might be getting a promotion at work, my doctor's putting me on sleeping medication.
I will, I promise. Maybe if I like any of the places, I'll get you to come see them with me before I buy.
A promotion is good! No more going to the middle east though, right? Sleep medication? What's wrong? Why haven't you been sleeping??
Nonsense, you never eat into my time and never think you're taking my time up. Reagan, do what's best for you and the baby, if you wanted to be close to me and your doctor then that's what you should do
I just feel bad because you have your own life, you don't need to clean up my messes all the time… I'm going to start looking at places soon, I think. Because I don't think I will ever get over the feeling of being alone in our house.
How are you though, babe? I wanna hear about you
You could always come and stay in my spare room if the home is too much for your emotions. Only if you want to though, I'm at your disposal if you want something.
I couldn't do that… I've already eaten enough of your time and it's probably going to get worse when the months go on. I'm thinking of selling the house and getting a smaller place though… Maybe closer to my doctor, and to you. But not too close that I end up ruining your privacy and stuff.
You know I'd do anything for you and the baby? I can't swap but I can at least make sure you're both safe and protected. Of course I'll come round tomorrow
I know, that's why you're my best friend. I'm safe and protected, just emotional. But what I want to ask you is a happy thing, I think.
I'd swap if I could. You wouldn't be bothering me Reagan, I'd do anything for you
I don't want you to. That would be selfish and horrible of me to even let you think that… Can you come 'round tomorrow? I have a doctor's appointment but I want to ask you something after
I'd do anything to trade places with him. If you need anything, anytime just call me
Don't say that… I'd be just as much of a mess without you. I know, I just don't want to bother you. …I love you, though.
Shit, I'm sorry. If there was something I could do
It's not your fault. You've been amazing so far, Clint, really. I wouldn't be functioning at all if it weren't for you.
'A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny when you're dead how people start listening'
Thanks sweetheart, do you need anything?
There's one thing that springs to mind but I can't have it. So no, i'm okay… You look handsome.

Publisher Comments:
Mr. and Mrs. Crabbe are enjoying their seaside vacation...until a certain dog blows away their umbrella with an enormous fart. Before long, Walter is banned from the beach.

As soon as they find a nickel, Mr. and Mrs. Crabbe elbow their way in. All four get marooned during high tide. Will Walter hear their cries for help? And why did that tropical fruit have to be thoroughly cooked?

REFILE-Made in China: an Austrian village
(Refiles to remove byline)
HUIZHOU, China, June 4 (Reuters) - A $940 million Chinese clone of one of Austria's most picturesque villages, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hallstatt, recently opened its doors to visitors in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong amidst some controversy.
In a nation known for its skill in manufacturing knock-offs ranging iPhones to Hermes Birkins, the replica village is perhaps the most ambitious attempt at Chinese reproduction yet.
The "Made in China" version of the lakeside European village known for tourism and salt includes an exact replica of its church clock tower, European style wooden houses and other properties that will be sold to investors.
The project, conceived by a Chinese mining tycoon, initially sparked outrage and surprise among some Hallstatt villagers, who weren't at first aware of the attempt to copy their unique, centuries-old home.
Half an hour's ride away from the gritty city of Huizhou, close to China's "world factory" of the Pearl River Delta, China's Hallstatt hopes to become a new tourist attraction.
Disney-themed photo spots are scattered around the village's main plaza, which is modelled after Hallstatt's marketplace.
"The moment I stepped into here, I felt I was in Europe," said 22-year-old Zhu Bin, a Huizhou resident. "The security guards wear nice costumes. All the houses are built in European style."
Taking up one million square metres (yards), cranes and construction sites spread across barren hills above the gabled houses, promising an expansion of the current town.
Despite the initial mixed response, local authorities in Hallstatt have since softened their stance, seeing a rare, marketing opportunity at the heart of one of the world's fastest growing tourism markets.
"It was not so controversial. We were only surprised that a small village in Austria was built, and now we are very proud that it happened," said Hallstatts Mayor Alexander Scheutz, who flew with an Austrian delegation to mark the official opening and signed documents promising future cultural ties.
Visitors and journalists filming on site last Friday were asked to leave shortly before Scheutz's unannounced visit.
Director of Tourism Hallstatt, Pamela Binder, said Hallstatt had made peace with its Chinese replica.
"First we were a bit insecure. Why did it come to replicate Hallstatt, and then we became lucky and proud," Binder said.
Fewer than 50 Chinese tourists visited Hallstatt in 2005, but now thousands fly to the Austrian town every year, according to officials from the Austrian delegation in China.
But some Hallstadt residents remained unconvinced.
"I dont think that it is a good idea. Hallstatt is just unique with its culture and traditions. You cannot copy that. I saw a report and the photos, and the copy seems different. In my opinion it is unacceptable," said resident Karin Höll. (Reporting by Reuters China, additional reporting by Venus Wu in HONG KONG and Robin Raimund and Marie Oszegi In HALLSTATT, Editing by James Pomfret and Elaine Lies)
This is commonly known as "vacation village" in China. For example there's a replica castle outside Shenzhen, and a dude ranch outside Shanghai. Yes investors can purchase timeshare and fractionals, just like vacation destinations created by the likes of Starwood and Marriott.
IMHO the media sensationalism around this has been a little severe. Hallstatt is a beautiful city which Rick Steves raved about. I'd love to go but I've yet to figure out how. It is actually quite democratic and consistent with Chinese culture to bring Hallstatt to 2/3 of China whom only recently elevated above UN official poverty line of US$1 per day and generally do not travel abroad.
In retrospect, I sincerely hope our objective media look into all the facts, and not sensationalize trivia such as this which seems to serve no purpose other than to fan the flames of resurging anti-Chinese sentiment in the West.

GARY | It was a perfect day for grilling but not so much for flying kites, with the temperatures in the 80s and very little wind, less than 10 mph.
Nevertheless, parents and children were out at Marquette Park for the annual Fly 4 Life kite fly sponsored by the LNL Foundation, which provides trendy, functional clothes for children with cancer.
LNL stands for Lounge N Lax and was established a few years ago by Karen Hannon, of Portage. She said she got the idea to develop a line of clothing because her young son used to sweat profusely, even in the winter, when he had on any sort of hat.
She said she tinkered with different materials and styles and came up with an idea that worked for the boy, who will be 6 years old next month. While none of her children have suffered from cancer, Hannon said she wanted to do something for the community.
Partnering with friend Glenda Phillips, of Florida, Hannon said she came up with the idea to develop a clothing line for children with cancer. She said Phillips' son died from cancer.
In addition to the foundation, Hannon also has a for-profit company called Xaydon LLC.
During the kite fly, adults paid $10 and children paid $5. Each received a kite, food and entertainment during the event.
Hannon will use the money she earned during the kite fly to buy the materials for the clothing. She intends to donate her products this year to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Why Does My EX GIRLFRIEND Keep Calling Me?
So she broke up with you... but your phone still keeps on ringing. For some reason your ex girlfriend won't stop calling you up, but at the same time she's giving you mixed signals about exactly what she wants. So what gives?
In actuality, the situation is a lot more common than you might think. Between phone calls, emails, text-messages, Facebook, MySpace, and everything else keeping you connected to your ex girlfriend, it's very hard to sever all lines of communication at once. And if your ex is still trying to keep some of those lines open? Odds are she has very good (and specific) reasons for it.
So why does your ex girlfriend still call? What does she want from you, if anything at all?
Reasons Your Ex Will Keep Calling You After The Breakup
First and foremost, your exgirlfriend is probably looking for comfort. You were a big part of her life, and when the breakup occurred she probably underestimated how much she'd miss you. Losing a relationship can often leave a big void in your life where the other person used to be, and even if she's the one who initiated the breakup this can lead to her feeling uneasy or uncertain about her decision.
This doesn't necessarily mean your ex wants you back, but it's the beginning of that road. There are special methods and techniques you can use to help speed that process along, if you're looking to actually get back together with your ex girlfriend.
Another reason your ex will get back in touch with you is to keep tabs on what you're doing. In this case, your girlfriend rejected you as her boyfriend but isn't yet ready to let you go... not completely, anyway. In the meantime, she'll keep an eye on you. She'll watch to make sure you're not out having too much fun, seeing other people, or worst of all, moving on without her.
Types of Ex Girlfriend Contact
How your ex contacts you can say a lot about what she wants. The friendly "Hi, I just called to see how you're doing" phone call is really nothing more than a smokescreen. She's looking to gather information about your current social life, as well as feeling you out to see how you're doing without her. As a general rule, a girl who breaks up with you wants to see you down, lonely, depressed, and wanting her back. This justifies the past relationship. In her mind, you really did care about her and weren't just wasting her time.
Another variation of such a phone call is where your ex calls "just to make sure you're okay". This has very little to do with your own mental state and a lot more to do with hers. Your ex girlfriend is making this call because once again, she wants to see that you're miserable without her. It's not that she wishes misery upon you - it's more to make her feel good and boost her own ego in knowing she's missed by you at all.
Text-messages are also extremely common after a breakup. If your ex girlfriend is sending you texts, it's a more cowardly way of feeling you out. She's too scared to call, or she doesn't want to 'lead you on'. Of course, if you're still in love with her any contact your ex girlfriend makes is going to be leading you on, but that's besides the point.
Getting Your Ex Girlfriend Back - How To Handle Post-Breakup Contact
If you happen to be in the boat where you still want your ex back, the very fact that she's making such contact is a very good sign. An ex who truly and completely wants nothing more to do with you - romantically anyway - is going to walk in the opposite direction and not look back. In that case, you'll see very little if any communication from your ex girlfriend at all.
Most girls who contact ex boyfriends will first do so under the guise of being friends. The whole "let's stay friends after the breakup" thing is a big farce of course, as it's nearly impossible to carry on a platonic relationship after having such an intimate connection. In this case, your ex is using friendship as an excuse to keep you within easy reach. She gets to see you, talk to you, and know exactly what you're doing at all times... but since you agreed to be her friend you're not allowed to make any romantic moves in her direction. This is the FRIEND ZONE, and you need to avoid it at all costs!
So why does your ex girlfriend keep calling you? Because she's looking for information, validation, and possibly to keep the door to your past relationship open just a crack. If you want back in, you need to know exactly how to handle such contact in a way that will make your ex want and miss you again.
Getting a girlfriend back is a lot like anything else in life: the more you know, the better your chances of success. Learning proper withdrawal techniques is just as important as knowing what to say to your ex girlfriend, as well as exactly when to say it.
There are 8 Individual Steps necessary to Winning Your Girlfriend Back, so find out what they are! Learn exactly what your opening moves should be, as well as which additional signs show that your ex girlfriend is still in love with you.

It's quite obvious that the Rams need to address the wide receiver position once again in this year's draft. Chris Givens and Brian Quick showed promise last season, but with the losses of Brandon Gibson and Danny Amendola in free agency, the Rams have been left with almost nothing at the psotion. As of right now the Rams have Chris Givens, Brian Quick,Austin Pettis, Nick Johnson, Raymond Radway, and Steve Smith on their roster. This is definitely not the greatest show on turf, but with another receiver or two added in this year's draft that has a lot of depth at wide receiver, this could be a promising group.
There has been much speculation that the Rams will draft Tavon Austin or Cordarrelle Patterson if either of them were to drop to the Rams at 16. However, Austin's size is very concerning. With the Rams playing in a physical hard hitting NFC West the Rams could be getting themselves into another Danny Amendola injury situation by drafting Austin. Austin would also be limited to the slot which is where the Rams are likely to put newly acquired TE Jared Cook. Austin does present good speed and does have the ability to return punts. However, the Rams would do better by drafting another position of need at 16 rather than use it on Austin or Patterson.
Cordarrelle Patterson also sounds like a nice option for the Rams at 16. Patterson has amazing physical attributes, but catches the ball with his body way too often. Patterson would also take a few years to develop like Brian Quick, and let's face it, Sam Bradford doesn't have a few years to sit around and wait for yet another receiver to develop. Patterson also isnt a great route runner and only played one year at Tennessee against higher level competition.
A receiver that the Rams should consider taking however, is Keenan Allen. Allen would be a great option at 22 for the Rams. He has the versatility to play in the slot or on the outside unlike Austin. During his college career, Allen lit it up with weak quarterback play. He has great hands and attacks the ball. He is also physical which is what the Rams need at the position. Allen also has the ability to step right in and be the number 1 receiver Bradford has so desperately asked for and needed since his rookie year.
Finally DeAndre Hopkins is another receiver the Rams should seriously consider taking at 22. Hopkins is an explosive receiver that can be dominant on the outside. Rams receivers struggled much of last year creating seperation for Sam Bradford which is something that Patterson excells at by using his speed and physicality. Unlike Patterson, Hopkins is a solid route runner and would definitley be able to come in right away and produce. Hopkins doesnt have much downside, just some consistency in the blocking game and Hopkins would be a solid addition.
Allen and Hopkins seem to be the best options for the Rams. With the losses of Amendola and Gibson, Hopkins or Allen would be a nice replacement. Being in the NFC West, Hopkins and Allen are both physical and would finally give Bradford that receiver that he can just throw the ball in the general area and let his receiver make a play.

Faux Batik
Not to be confused with real batik (hot wax, silk and dye) this faux batik method is really fun and great for all ages. It's a basic resist process but instead I used Elmer's Blue Gel Glue for the resist and acrylic paint for the color. We designed tote bags using this technique. Here's how we did it: I provided tote bags with some prepared art for those that did not have the inspiration to draw their own image. Put a piece of cardboard (cereal boxes work great!)inside your bag to prevent the two sides of the bag from sticking to each other. You can tape your art to the cardboard so that it stays in place while you work. Once you have your art in place trace your drawing with the Elmers Blue Gel glue. Once you have outlined your art with the gel glue be sure to let it dry. The reason for the blue glue is so that you can see your lines after it is dry. Also,the gel glue doesn't run. The glue does take time to dry. Try to resist squeezing thick amounts of glue. Remember you just need a thin layer of glue to cover those fibers so that the paint can't get to it. You can use a paint brush for the glue if you prefer. You can always use a hair dryer to speed up the drying time too. Next up, the paint! Using some basic acrylic craft paint, fill in all your areas with color. Feel free to paint right over those dry glue lines. They should do their job and resist the paint. Once your paint is dry (really dry) you will need to rinse the tote to remove the glue. Acrylic dries pretty fast but I prefer to wait 24 hours before rinsing out the glue. Rinsing out the glue will lighten your color a bit (be sure to keep that in mind when painting. Darker color and more of it is best). When you rinse the glue don't be afraid to get in there and scrub it. The glue is washable so it comes off best in warm water. When you have all the glue removed toss your bag (or garment) into the dryer for a full cycle to set the paint. You can also iron it if you prefer. Now your project is compete! This is great for parties, camps and even a quiet night in. For those still craving more, add some embroidered details to spice things up.

Big Props!
As a designer who has spent the majority of my career in the world of branding and marketing I am my own personal branding nightmare. My creativity tends to soar when faced with a challenge. I have yet to find a limit to what I might attempt when filled with inspiration. This is great for me as a creative professional but try to make a business card. Sheesh! This is why I have started leaning on "Creative professional" or I guess I might as well just say it like it is "Creative Junkie full of ideas for anyone willing to listen". For instance, you can now add "prop and set design" to my resume. I had a great time creating these for a dance recital. I find that working with props can give you a chance to try out just about any skill you have and even force you to dabble in new ones. These featured props were a process of good old fashioned painting for the rocks, Some image magic and large format printing for the Eric statue and some image transfer techniques for the contract.

Tissue Transferring
For the most part I am pretty brave when allowing kids to do group art on one canvas. I have had those moments of being nearly complete though when the next to last little artist comes up and decides to smear orange and purple paint across the entire piece. This of course results in many sad little artists and me trying to scramble and figure out a solution. This time I decided to try a new method. I created a tissue transfer technique that lets the kids create with less stress of "messing up" (their words not mine) and I can also create a final composition based on the final art provided by the kids. It's really simple and the finished result is fantastic! Just use white gift tissue. Nothing fancy, just basic gift tissue. Color on it with Sharpie. Yes, Sharpie. You want the permanent ink so that it holds it's color. Once the drawings are complete cut them out along the edge of the color. Paint a canvas with your desired base color and once it is dry, mod podge the tissue drawings onto your canvas. Add any final line art to finish your art then cover with a final coat of mod podge. I use the gloss mod podge because it has a more vibrant finish. The matte tends to be a bit foggy. I did this with two classes this fall. Both classes were 1st-3rd graders.

I am so flattered by all the people that have requested a Craft Night Out. I have finally made it happen and I am over-the-moon excited about this opportunity! I decided to start with paper embroidery. It's perfect, just before the holidays and works great for those that have never touched a needle and it is a great extension for those with traditional embroidery skills. We will make some one-of-a-kind gift tags, greeting cards and even stitch the front of a journal that you can keep for yourself or gift someone for the holidays. The venue I have booked is Luther's Table in Renton. It's a great location that will allow plenty of space for crafting and if you work up an appetite they have a full bar and menu available. Space is limited so get your tickets here. Craftnightout.brownbagtickets.com

Wild Plant Walk at Stoner Boat Launch
Sacred Strawberry hosted our third Wild Edible Plant Walk with PermanentGardens.com last Sunday! We had a wonderful time introducing people to some edible plants growing wild! We met willow, oxalis, dewberries, red and white mulberries, dandelion, toothache tree, chickweed, possum grape and yellow dock. Fun times!
Spring in Full Swing!
Here in Shreveport it is getting hot! Most of the wild spring greens we love are gone now, but we are making due ;)
We are also growing lots of plants this year. And collecting fruit trees :)
This is one tiny part of what we have going on here, but I love this recycled chest planter. It has tomato, two types of hot pepper, two types of basil and purslane.
Mulberry season is in full swing, too! We are so lucky to have red and white ones growing all around here!
My favorite harbinger of summer- watermelon juice!
We are gearing up for the summer market season here, and have some fun event in the works.
Come connect with us over at Facebook and like our page to keep abreast of the happenings!
Lunch at Be Raw in Dallas!
Last week during out quick trip to Dallas, we took advantage of being there and went back to BeRaw. I blogged about our fantastic meal the last time we ate there, about a year to date. I'm glad to see they are still up and running! This time, we both started with a green juice. Dan got cucumber, celery and ginger. I got cucumber, celery, kale, lemon and apple. I think these juices were the only disappointment in our meal. They weren't good, and I can down some green juice. That's ok though. This little cutie drank some:
Then a cucumber pineapple gazpacho with avocado:
Dan got the burger, and I got the tacos and we halved them:
Everything was so good! Can't wait till we go back again.
For the long drive back, I stopped at Whole Foods for a proper green juice, cold brew and raw cacao truffles. I knew I needed to be wired for that trip lol.
We also stopped back at the same spring we went to on the way there and refilled. It was a quick trip with a lot of driving but we had fun!
Spring Water Harvesting and Matt Monarch
When I saw that raw food legend Matt Monarch was going to be in Dallas, I knew that I would be going. It had been a while since receiving any raw food inspiration, plus it was an excuse to get out of town!
We decided immediately to visit and fill up at a spring in Canton, TX which is about an hour outside of Dallas. The water was amazingly clear, delicious and hydrating. We will be going back regularly!
There was a beautiful sassafras tree right across from the spring. I used some leaves to infuse in my water bottle. Wonderful!
After all that, we made it on time to the event!
In fact, we had a little time to pop into the amazing library next door and let Amethyst run off some energy and play in the kids area. Oh, and play in the wildflowers, too.
It was wonderful to see Matt in the flesh, chat with other humans on similar paths to us, and listen to some healthy inspiration. Even though we left a bit early ( poor Ami was DONE lol) we still enjoyed it thoroughly.
Of course I bought treats, too ;)
Wild Edible Plant Walk at Mahaffey Farms
Our second wild edible plant walk was a success!
It took place at an amazing family farm.
We had an amazing turnout!
We met and sampled clover, red sorrel, greenbriar, yellow dock, sassafras and so much more!
We are doing another one May 18th on Clyde Fant Parkway in Shreveport, LA. We'll be meeting at the boat launch at 1:00.

Upcoming Wild Edible Plant Walk
Sacred Strawberry are hosting our second Shreveport-Bossier City Wild Edible Plant Walk alongside our friends at PermanentGardens.com.
This time, our walk will be out at Mahaffee Farms in Princeton, Louisiana (right outside of Bossier City). Evan McCommon is in the process of restoring his family's land back to health using holistic farm and land management techniques. We met them at the Shreveport Farmer's Market where they sell produce and meats raised there.
Above all, it will be a fun afternoon! I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday. If you are in the area, join us!
I wanted to share with you some of our eats around here the past few months!
Of course there have been smoothies!
This one was a Chocolate Peach situation with shilajit and lucuma topped with bee pollen.
Banana, peach, blueberry, lucuma, amla berry and coconut water for the little.
Frozen banana, fresh mango, aloe Vera, snow pea tendrils and chlorella with bee pollen. I am loving bee pollen this Spring!!
Another banana, mango, aloe and chlorella smoothie. So healing for the gut lining. It's just an amazing plus that it tastes truly incredible! There were many more, but this is what has been recorded for posterity's sake.
There were also juices. Lots of wild greens.
Pretty much all of these has some combination of chickweed, cleavers, cucumber, celery, apple and lemon.
Also, there has been food. Much more than this, too lol!
Cauliflower and jicama in a wild garlic cream sauce, spinach with coconut aminos, olive oil and lemon and some raw bread I made using psyllium husks for the first time!
That bread going into the dehydrator.
Some high raw wraps with greens, sprouts, quinoa burger and green Gaia dressing.
Green juice and raw brownies. Love.
Red bell pepper gazpacho with spirulina and bee pollen.
Kelp noodles in a cheesy sauce with black pepper and scallions. Amazing :)
I've been feeling pretty incredible recently with all the green juices and wild spring greens. Having large quantities of it daily really just changes everything! So worth it!
Sacred Strawberry goes wild!
I don't think I ever posted that Sacred Strawberry was in the Shreveport Times again. This time it wasn't for raw foods, but something else that has become a big part of what we do- foraging.
A few recipes of mine were included, too, my Chickweed-Cilantro Pesto recipe that you can find in the Recipes section of this blog as well as a Wild Green Lemonade with cleavers.
Check out the article!
Reading this blog and searching in the archives it is apparent that finding and consuming wild edible plants is something we have been doing a while. We have had the good fortune of being interested in wild plants at such a time that we have been able to forage in three countries and amass a decent library and store of knowledge. Anyway, we thought it was time to start to share what we know and teach again a little.
We led our first official edible plants walk, with our friends over at PermanentGardens.com, who are blowing up the permaculture scene here in SBC. It was wonderful to collaborate on it and we look forward to doing more soon!
My friend and one of the walks participants, Nancy, took some great photos and has kindly allowed me to share them:
The guides:
Everyone ready to go-
We found lots of edible plants, but one of my favorites is the Yaupon holly (ilex vomitoria) the North American cousin to Yerba Mate. Local and free caffeine source, holla!!
We found a lot of old favorites like chickweed, dandelion, sow thistle and clover, but some relatively new to me edibles as well!
This is the spiderwort- lovely to look at and slightly mucilaginous but perfectly edible.
And one more- Pennywort. This lily pad looking herb is related to Gotu Kola (Indian Pennywort) and has a lot of the same properties- increases blood flow to the brain thus mental clarity, memory enhancement etc. It also has a fresh parsley like taste.

This Spring here in North Louisiana is really amazing. We've had rain so things are lush and green but it hasn't gotten hot and humid yet. We are taking full advantage of the season and get outside together as a family as much as possible. Amethyst loves it so much and I am so happy to be sharing with her something so dear to us. It took me many, many years on this planet before I really opened myself up to Mother Nature. I hated being outside, thought it was gross and generally resisted it. I am so, so thankful that that changed, that I changed before it was too late! :)

Aabaraki at Rockwood Music Hall
Friday night I'll be checking out soul/funk group Aabaraki at Rockwood, celebrating the release of their EP produced entirely at Rubber Tracks in Williamsburg. You might remember a while back that KH mocked up a concept logo and t-shirt for the band and the guys have been running with the treatment since SXSW. A nice twist on the classic Atari logo of every nerds youth. If you aren't familiar with the group I highly suggest checking them out and plan to see them at a KeapHope party soon.
