What are the characteristics of the Christian God that differentiate him from other gods?
Perhaps the most unique characteristic of the Christian God is that he exists. The other ones don't. Of course, that is a matter of profound debate, as we all know. I would say the chief and most critical differences have …Read More
We talk of the Bible as being the inspired Word of God. Would the men who chose the books to be included in the Bible also have been inspired by God?
This is one important point of dispute between historic Roman Catholic theology and classical Protestant theology. The Roman Catholic Church has gone on record, particularly at the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century, to declare that not only were …Read More
What is the biblical basis for human dignity?
As a Christian I do not believe that human beings have intrinsic dignity. I am totally committed to the idea that human beings have dignity, but the question is, Is it intrinsic or extrinsic? Dignity, by biblical definition, is tied …Read More
How does one convince a nonbeliever that the Bible is the Word of God?
Before I try to answer that question directly, let me make a distinction that is important at the outset. There's a difference between objective proof and the persuasion or conviction that follows. John Calvin argued that the Bible carries both …Read More
Throughout the Bible we are told to fear God. What does that mean?
We need to make some important distinctions about the biblical meaning of "fearing" God. These distinctions can be helpful, but they can also be a little dangerous. When Luther struggled with that, he made this distinction, which has since become …Read More
How can a person have a divine nature and a human nature at the same time in the way that we believe Jesus Christ did?
One of the great crises in evangelical Christianity today is a lack of understanding about the person of Christ. Almost every time I watch Christian television, I hear one of the classical creeds of the Christian faith being denied blatantly, …Read More
I've been wrestling with a career decision. What thinking processes should Christians use in decision making?
Unfortunately, in today's Christian environment the whole idea of thinking has become suspect. It's as if using our natural abilities of intellect—particularly in areas of career— somehow represents a lack of faith. The concept is that we're supposed to entrust …Read More
What can Christians expect from God in regard to healing?
I don't know how many times I've seen on the walls of pastors' studies or in Christian homes the little sign, Expect a Miracle. If a miracle is something we can expect, like we expect the postman every morning, it …Read More
Are there any biblical grounds for divorce, and if so, what are they?
A lot of the debate over divorce has to do with the way we interpret and handle Jesus' teaching on the subject. In Matthew's Gospel, for example, the Pharisees come to Jesus for a decision and they are trying to …Read More
What does it mean for us to call God our Father?
One of the most well-known statements of the Christian faith is the Lord's Prayer, which begins with the words "Our Father which art in heaven." This is part of the universal treasury of Christendom. When I hear Christians in a …Read More
In the case of a terminally ill person, who should decide when to discontinue life-support systems — to "pull the plug"?
Last year I addressed eight hundred physicians at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. I was asked to address that precise question: How you decide when to pull the plug? I was also interested to note that the largest single …Read More
When a person dies, where does his or her spirit and body go until the Second Coming?
Throughout its history, the church has struggled with the concept of what is called the "intermediate state"—our position between the time we die and the time Christ consummates his kingdom and fulfills the promises that we confess in the Apostles' …Read More
How were the books of the Bible selected and compiled, and how were the decisions made as to what would be distributed as the Word of God?
Even though we think of the Bible as being one book, it's actually a collection of sixty-six books, and we realize that there was a historical process by which those particular books were gathered together and placed in one volume …Read More
In Numbers 14 it appears that Moses changed the mind of God. How can you explain this?
"To change one's mind," in the New Testament means to repent. When the Bible speaks of my repenting or your repenting, it means that we are called to change our minds or our dispositions with respect to sin—that we are …Read More
What does Scripture teach us about the future role of Israel?

Innovative bartenders are shaking up classic cocktails with modern twists. This margarita gets its sweetness from agave nectar, a natural sweetener, and a distinct smokiness from Spanish smoked paprika. Pair it with Smoked Paprika Shrimp With Poblano Polenta & Red Pepper-Agave Sauce for an entire sweet and spicy course.
Ingredients For 2 Cocktails
*The regular paprika you have in the spice cabinet is probably sweet paprika. Spanish smoked paprika is a special kind, smoked over oak fires so it takes on a smoky flavor. In Hungary, there are six classes, or types, of paprika ranging from delicate to hot. In order to achieve the flavors of this recipe, you'll need to use Spanish smoked paprika.

HEAD racquet rebels in squash and badminton made a winning impression at the Commonwealth Games in India, with Briton Adrian Grant leading the effort with his squash gold medal in the men's doubles. Grant teamed with compatriot Nick Matthew to win the event as they beat Australia's Stewart Boswell and David Palmer at the Siri Fort Sport Complex in New Delhi 11-9, 6-11, 11-5. The victory took more than two hours.
Joelle King of New Zealand earned a pair of medals in the same sport, claiming the women's doubles gold alongside countrywoman Jaclyn Haekes in a victory over Head's Laura Massaro (silver medal) and Jenny Duncalf of England 11-10, 11-9 in one hour of play during the first match together for the winners.
The King-Haekes team was an "emergency" choice after injury to another player but the pick turned out to be a golden opportunity for the HEAD ace. King had just a few minutes to spare before going straight back onto court with 22-year-old Brit Martin Knight to lift the silver medal in mixed doubles, going down 8-11 11-7 11-5 to Australians Kasey Brown and Cameron Pilley.
King was delighted to have excelled for her nation. "Hopefully, New Zealand as a whole starts to believe it and gets behind me and the others a bit more. Squash hasn't had such a public profile lately, but hopefully being so successful at these Games does something to lift my profile and squash in general. I've always had my goals and I know where I want to go – to the medals - definitely give me confidence going forward. I'm stoked to come away with a gold and a silver in my first Commonwealth Games, hopefully there are many more to come."
In the bronze medal women's doubles play-off, top seeds Kasey Brown and Australian HEAD player Donna Urquhart of Australia beat fellow Aussies Amelia Pittock and Lisa Camilleri, the second seeds, 11-4, 10-11, 11-5. Urquhart and David Palmer missed out on a bronze in the mixed doubles with a loss to Malaysians Ong Beng Hee and Nicol David.
On the badminton court, 32-year-old Briton Anthony Clark handed HEAD more success, earning silver in doubles and bronze in the team competition. Clark and Nathan Robertson fell in the men's final to Malaysia's Kien Keat Koo and Boon Heong Tan 21-19, 21-14 winners. "We were right in that first game but a few points went against us and that was probably our chance gone," said the HEAD ace.

PG-13: Risky Reads
'In The Attic': Whips, Witches And A Peculiar Princess
Originally published on Mon July 23, 2012 6:57 pm
Gillian Flynn's most recent novel is Gone Girl.
At age 13, I survived almost entirely on green apple Jolly Ranchers and Flowers in the Attic, and to this day I can't look at the book without my mouth watering. My much loved copy must have come from a supermarket (it was impossible to go to a supermarket in the '80s to, say, secretly stock up on green apple Jolly Ranchers, without a V.C. Andrews book lurking by checkout).
It was not the kind of thing my earnest, thoughtful parents would have bought me: "Here, Gilly, is a novel about four children who are locked away in an attic by their beautiful mother. There's sex, lust, murder, ballet, betrayal, potato salad, whippings and — oh yes, the eldest brother and sister are incestuous. Discussion questions to come!"
And yet I loved that book. Of course I did. The story is about the picture-perfect Dollanganger kids: Chris and Cathy and their much younger twin siblings. When Daddy dies in a car crash, their gorgeous but useless mother reveals a secret: She comes from a family worth millions but was disinherited by her parents. They return to the family home under cover of night; the children are secreted in a far-off room and locked in. They'll stay there while their mother squirms back into her father's good graces. It'll just be a few nights, maybe a week.
They're left up there for more than three years.
I'd been a girl who loved fairy tales, but it was never (never, never, never) the princess who interested me. It was the witch. Flowers in the Attic has witches of many stripes: The children's righteous grandmother-slash-jailer has plenty of rules, a generous definition of sin, and a ready whip. But even more enthralling to me was the kids' beautiful, helpless, princess of a mother, who convinces herself by slow, damning turns that she's doing the right thing, and then, overtaken by greed, stops caring whether she's doing the right thing. That's when bad things really start to happen.
The narrator, Cathy, who ages from 12 to 15 over the course of the story, is part princess (she is locked in a tower; she is beset by cruel foes; she has long, perfect hair until the grandmother tars it one night), and part witch (she's tantrum-prone, pessimistic, cynical). Basically, I adored her because she is like all girls around the age of 13: at turns sulky, giving, selfish, charming, nasty and heroic.
Flowers in the Attic is most famous for the fact that Cathy and her brother fall in love. It's a weird, strangely old-fashioned love story (and is Chris ever the stuff of teenage dreams: handsome, brilliant, extravagantly chivalrous), but it's not what hooked me. What kept me circling around to the beginning was that hyper-Gothic female evil. The emotionally cold, physically abusive grandmother. The cloying, manipulative, mind-warping mother. It felt so new and stunning to me — these witches who seemed quite real. I devoured the sequels less to learn about Cathy's tragic love story than to see what kind of woman Cathy became — princess, witch, a bit of both? — and what she'd do with all those awful urges she inherited.
Those books stuck to me. I've since weaned myself off Jolly Ranchers (I'm down to two packs a week), but I've never shaken my addiction to wicked women.
PG-13 is produced and edited by Ellen Silva and Rose Friedman with production assistance from Gavin Bade.
Now, time for our summer book series, PG-13. We call it that because 13 is about the age when young readers start to explore the grownup literary world, even if they're not quite ready.
Writer Gillian Flynn remembers her favorite book from that age. It's not one that made the summer reading list. In fact, the New York Times once called it ghoulishly unpleasant, but that wasn't exactly Flynn's experience.
GILLIAN FLYNN: At age 13, I survived almost entirely on green apple Jolly Ranchers and the novel "Flowers in the Attic," by V.C. Andrews. My copy must have come from a supermarket. It certainly wasn't the kind of thing my earnest, thoughtful parents would have bought me, but I did love that book. Of course I did.
The story is about these picture perfect kids, Chris and Cathy and their much younger twin siblings. When Daddy dies in a car crash, their gorgeous but useless mother reveals a secret. She used to be worth millions, but she was disinherited by her parents.
So they all return to the ancestral home and the kids are hidden away in a remote spare room and locked in. The plan is for them to stay there while their mother squirms back into their grandfather's good graces. It'll just be a few nights, maybe a week. Nope. They're up there for more than three years.
I was a kid who loved fairy tales, but for me, it was never, never, never about the princess, it was about the witch, and "Flowers in the Attic" is full of them. There's a grandmother, slash, jailer who has plenty of rules, a generous definition of sin and a ready whip, but even more interesting was the mother, who slowly convinces herself that she's doing the right thing. Then, when she's overtaken by greed, she stops caring and that's when it really starts to get bad.
"Flowers in the Attic" is most famous for the fact that Cathy and her brother fall in love. It's a weirdly old-fashioned love story and, boy, is Chris ever the stuff of teenage dreams: handsome, brilliant, chivalrous. But that's not what hooked me. It was the gothic female evil: the cold abusive grandmother, the cloying, manipulative mother. These witches seemed real and the book has stuck to me. I've since weaned myself off those Jolly Ranchers. I'm down to two packs a week, but I've never shaken my addiction to wicked women.

Supermodel Linda Evangelista loves her job, a glass of wine and a good cigar.
Mervyn Rothstein
From the Print Edition:
Linda Evangelista, Autumn 95
(continued from page 5)
She moves. She is slender, radiant; her close-cropped auburn hair sparkles against the bright, starkly white background, shifting ever so gently with the motion.
Her head tilts, barely. Her smile, unchanging yet real, radiates an unconventional beauty; not a classic blonde mannequin but a living, breathing, intense individuality.
A leg bends, ever so gracefully, at the knee. The white silk blouse, open at the collar, undulates flowingly, as if in a breeze, the folds as sculpturally flawless as a Michelangelo.
The eyes, limpid and crystal blue, narrow and mysterious, come sensuously alive, reflecting the photographer's flash with a million brilliant points of diamond light.
She moves again. A new position, minutely different from the one previous, yet just as flawless; every pose, every angle, every stance a model of perfection.
A model of perfection. Make that a supermodel of perfection. Because the model in question, finishing a long day's magazine-cover photo shoot at an East Fourth Street studio in downtown Manhattan, is Linda Evangelista.
In the intense, competitive, fast-lane world of fashion and modeling, with its glitz and glamour, celebrity and gossip, only a few of the best and most beautiful rise to and stay at the top. In recent years, there have been but a handful. They include Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington. And Linda Evangelista.
For nearly a decade, Evangelista has graced the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Allure, Cosmopolitan, Mademoiselle, W and scores of other major magazines. She has starred in ads for Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Versace, Perry Ellis, Lanvin, Guy Laroche, Capezio, Bloomingdale's, Barneys New York, Donna Karan, Valentino, Calvin Klein and countless other top-name designers, as well as for perfumes such as Opium and Jil Sander. She and her companion, actor Kyle MacLachlan of "Twin Peaks" fame, are regulars in newspaper gossip columns and on television gossip shows. Even the well-known fashion writer Michael Gross (not one of her favorite people) has called her "the most accomplished model of her time."
Evangelista is sitting in the outdoor garden of a trendy Italian restaurant in Soho one muggy, late-spring evening, her 9-to-5 day of work over and a glass of ruby red Chianti resting before her. Just turned 30, but looking at least five years younger, she is getting ready to talk about what the life of a supermodel is really like. She will reveal that sometimes she must create an imaginary cocoon to shield her from the glare of success. She will reminisce about her childhood in Canada, just north of Niagara Falls, where she was raised in a working-class Italian Catholic family and where she began dreaming at age 12 of becoming a model. She will discuss the difficult early days of her career and what she had to do to rise to the top. And she will speak about cigars, because she smokes them and loves them.
But there is also another topic, a best-selling book called Model, by fashion writer Gross. Model describes the world of fashion, of models and supermodels, as rife with sex, drugs, mindless orgies and hard-nosed business brutality. He also has a few less-than-nice things to say about Evangelista. She does not really want to talk about the subject, which she finds unpleasant, but because she has been asked, she will.
"I have not read the book," she says. "I don't want to. But I do know his style of writing, and I do know that he has never had anything positive to say about me or about a lot of my colleagues and friends. And I can paint a picture for you right here of what I have seen in my career. I have never slept with anybody I did not want to sleep with. I have never slept with a photographer to get work. I have never slept with an art director. I've never had to sleep with anyone to get a job. That does not happen in this business. Maybe way down at the bottom of the ladder it does, but I didn't even see it there. No one forces you to sleep with them."
And as for drugs, she says, "Everyone knows I have never tried cocaine. I've seen it a couple of times, and I've walked away from it. I just say no, I'm not interested. I'm not saying I'm Miss Goody-Two-Shoes, but I never have used it, and I never will. Yes, drugs exist, but they exist everywhere, in every business. And people sleep with people in every business. This business is full of the most amazing characters and the most fun people. I don't see them hurting people, and I don't see them doing drugs."
Gross writes that "wags at Elite" have called her "Evilangelista" (and, indeed, some gossip columnists have accused her of being bratty and bad-tempered). But Evangelista says it just isn't so.
"He doesn't know me," she says. "He's never talked to me. If he wants to write about me, he should talk to people who really know me. I don't think they call me Evilangelista. I say 'sir' to my taxi drivers in the morning. I'm so nice to people when I go into stores because I'm afraid that something negative might get out. I'm Miss Polite. I'm not a slut. I'm not this awful person. I'm a businessperson. I do my job. I go to work, and I go home, and I have a very normal home life. It all makes me want to do a documentary and have a camera follow me from my bed all the way through a shoot and all the way home so I can tell my side of the story."
She pauses and takes a sip of wine. She has begun to tell her story--and in doing so she will be unfailingly polite. There is no trace of brattiness or bad temper apparent, and indeed, it is difficult to conceive of her ever being so. Her eyes, her face, her sinuous lips, her classically prominent cheeks radiate sincerity, just as her longish, thin nose makes apparent that she is a fashion model cut from a different cloth.
Part of that different cloth includes the appreciation of a good cigar. In fact, she loves cigars.
"I've always loved the smell of cigars," she says. "I have always been fascinated by them. My boyfriend is a cigar smoker. He reads Cigar Aficionado from front to back, and I've started reading it. I've started getting obsessed with the whole art of cigars, the different kinds, the rolling of the leaves. And I just think they're delicious. My favorite is the Cohiba panatela, even though it's small. I've tried every kind of Cohiba, and Montecristos and Romeo y Julietas. I love the Cohiba robusto, but I can't do the whole thing."
She has been smoking cigars for about two years. Her smoking buddies these days, in addition to MacLachlan, include Ronald Galotti, the publisher of Vogue, and Steven Florio, president of Condé Nast Publications, Inc. "I'm going to a party with Steve tomorrow night," she says, "so we'll probably smoke some there."
Her other favorite aspect of cigar smoking, she says, is the humidor. "They are the most beautiful objects. I buy them for Kyle. We have quite a few of them: Davidoffs, a Dunhill, a beautiful blue Hermès."
What does she appreciate most about a good cigar? She takes another sip of her Chianti. "It's like sharing a nice bottle of wine," she says. "It's comforting. When you pick one up, whatever you're doing changes for the better. And when you smoke, you're always doing it with friends."
You talk about the cigars you're smoking, she says, about how they taste and how they compare to others of the same brand you've smoked and to other brands you've smoked. You talk about the people you've smoked cigars with.
"You tell cigar stories," she says. "It's great fun."
Linda Evangelista's story begins in a city of 120,000 residents called St. Catharines, in the Canadian province of Ontario near Niagara Falls.
"It was my whole world," she says. "It was all I knew. Now, having traveled as much as I have, I don't consider it a very interesting place, except for my family and friends who are still there. It's very blue-collar. There's the car industry. Paper mills. Ship factories. A lot of steel. My father worked for General Motors."
She went to a Catholic elementary school and a Catholic high school. "I graduated from high school, but I didn't go on. Compared to all the stories I've heard from other people, I think I had the most normal upbringing."
Early on, though, her mind focused on modeling rather than academics. "From about the age of 12, I got it into my head that I wanted to be a model," she says. "I dreamed about it. I did not really think I could become one. I started with the women's fashion magazines. It was more the clothes than the actual modeling that fascinated me. I got every magazine. I would tear the pages out and dream."
Her mother made sure she was busy. "She kept me in all these extracurricular activities," Evangelista says. "I took accordion lessons and skating lessons and tap lessons. Then my dance school closed down, so she wanted to find something else for me to do. And people said, 'Oh, your daughter's really pretty. She's tall enough to be a model.' When I was 12, I was five foot eight. Now I'm five foot nine and a half. I thought I was going to be seven feet tall. And I had really big feet. They haven't grown since then."
So one day her mother took her to a local modeling school. "They interviewed me and said I could join the modeling class. But I think it was too expensive, so my mother enrolled me in the self-improvement class instead, which actually was not a bad thing. I laughed at it, but I learned how to set a table, how to get in and out of a car. I learned a lot of etiquette. Then I begged my mother to let me get into the modeling class. The school was the only way to get jobs."
The jobs she got, though, were not exactly high-paying. "I don't know how much money it cost my mom, but I think that, with the price of makeup and the classes, I probably grossed about $100 a year. It was real small-time. I would go to fashion shows. I would be the bridesmaid. I would have rehearsals and fittings, and I would get $20. She would take the day off from work and drive me to Hamilton to do a store catalog for $8 an hour, and it would be for two hours."
When Evangelista was 15, the modeling school entered her in the Miss Teen Niagara Pageant. "I didn't place at all," she says, "but there was a scout from the Elite model agency in the audience who gave me his card afterward and said that if I was ever interested, I should give him a call and he would test me and send my picture to New York."
She decided, though, to remain in school. And a year later, she had an experience that almost turned her off modeling for good.

An air commando who died when his C-123 Provider flare ship was shot down over Ahn Khe, Vietnam, was laid to rest Oct. 26 at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Texas.
The 310th Air Commando Squadron loadmaster, A1C Jerry Mack Wall, 24, was killed when his plane was hit by enemy fire and crashed into the central highlands, May 18, 1966. Until recently Wall, who was one of five crew members, was listed as Missing in Action.
In an intense recovery operation, three of the other airmen's remains were recovered shortly after the crash by soldiers of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. The flight engineer, Bill Moore, remains missing.
"I thought there was a possibility Jerry and Bill were still alive," said retired SMSgt. Gary Thomas, a volunteer with Wall's unit. "That situation stuck with me for my whole life."
That situation involved a small, tight-knit group of aircrew volunteers from various backgrounds. Thomas, a first sergeant with the 14th Munitions and Maintenance Squadron, spent a few months with Wall. Wall trained Thomas and several others as "flare kickers" loading the 200 or so, 27 pound flares.
"Jerry was so cool and calm, he was one heck of a guy," Thomas said. "He had already been into battle and was highly trained. When I first trained with him, it really shocked me to go into battle, and when he started going over how those flares could blow up and kill us … There's a lot of heroism in the 310th Air Commandos."
The night of the fateful crash, Thomas was scheduled to fly, but was sidelined due to an ear infection. The lead scheduler, MSgt. Raymond C. Jajtner took his place.
Thomas said everyone knew the danger of flying those missions, loaded with highly flammable magnesium flares. Wall's flight was hit with a 40mm round according to witness statements.
"When you're in combat and when you make friends, even if it's for a very short time, it's a real brotherhood," Thomas said. "It never goes away."
Air Commandos provided combat air patrol and airlift to the soldiers, delivering ammo, food, supplies and troops. They also flew out wounded and killed in action GI's, as well as prisoners, but one of the most harrowing jobs was the "candlestick" mission. During those missions, loadmasters and flare kickers would load, unload and drop hundreds of flares from the skies over southern Vietnam, illuminating the enemy.
"It was a firefight, the Viet Cong loved to attack," he said. "We had B-52s dropping bombs right outside our wings, ground artillery coming up, everybody is unloading. It got to be like the 4th of July, but of course you were scared."
According to the Defense Prisoner of War and Missing Personnel Office, since 1973, the remains of more than 900 Americans killed in the Vietnam War have been identified and returned to their families for burial with full military honors.
Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command conducted an investigation mission in June 2007 and identified a site that was recommended for recovery. In March 2011 and March 2012 JPAC conducted recovery operations at the site and recovered human remains and material evidence at the site, according to the press release.
For more than a decade the United States has conducted joint field activities with the governments of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to recover the remains of missing Americans, according to their website. Throughout those countries, teams continue to investigate crash and burial sites, as well as interview locals to gain additional knowledge. Today, more than 1,600 Americans remain unaccounted for from the conflict.
"I'm so very proud of my nation that persevered for so long in searching for my father's remains," said Lea Ann Wall McCann. "It's been a long journey home."
Thomas and several of Wall's family members greeted the flag draped casket when it arrived to San Antonio Oct. 24, aboard American Airlines Flight 497. Passengers on the plane watched from their windows as the fire department honored the flight with a water cannon salute and as the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Honor Guard carried Wall's remains to an awaiting hearse.
"Everyone involved in making this happen has been wonderful to our family, from the sergeant who escorted his body to San Antonio, to the VA and the VFW, to the color guard," Wall McCaan said.

Step 1: Ingredients
2 C. brown sugar
1 C. butter
1/2 C. corn syrup (we used 'light' the original recipe calls for 'dark')
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 Handful of peanuts (optional).
Popcorn popper, large roasting pan, a couple wooden spoons, 2 qt sauce pan and waxed paper.
can i use microwave instead of using oven?
Please dont take my comments in a bad way because I would not even have been able to write this or any other instructable. I just added some comments from my family experiances of mass producing this receipe.
I use this exact receipe at the holidays and bag it all fancy, my nephew is a salesman and his customers look forward to it every year.
Just a couple of notes from my experiance (because we make about 50+ batches-we have learned a thing or two).
First-You can use an aluminium turkey roasting pan. Generally we dont wash it inbetween batches. If you need to just give it a quick wipe and start another batch. You can make several batches and then just chuck it in the trash if is gets to gummy or yucky.
Second- it is also quite delicious if you add a couple cups of PECANS instead of the peanuts.
Third- you can use that giant 10lb bag of prepopped corn from Smart and Final- Trust me once it is carmalized you ABSOLUTELY can not tell. You save alot of time here. You just sort the flops out and go on.
i gave her a piece, she loved it, took a bowl of it and went back to bed
then my dad came home and ate the rest of it while i was sleeping -.-
i used maple syrup since we were out of corn syrup, my mom said she loved it so much she'd buy me corn syrup tomorrow =]

REG completes acquisition of biodiesel plant, restart scheduled for year-end
10:59 AM MDT | August 7, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Renewable Energy Group (REG; Ames, IA) says it has completed the purchase of a 30-million gal/year biodiesel plant at Mason City, IA. REG acquired the biorefinery for $11 million in cash and the issuance of a $5.6-million promissory note. Because of a postclosing adjustment, the note was reduced to $5.1 million.

| Colin Meloy touches the hem of Cooke's garment.
IMAGE: myspace.com
I have a lot of faith in Colin Meloy. The Decemberists frontman is capable of many wondrous things: writing a pop song that casually employs the word "balustrade," for one; convincingly delivering lines like "My name is Leslie Anne Levine" in tenor, for two. And, truth be told, he's written four full-length records that, altogether, contain maybe three verging-on-lackluster filler tracks (I didn't love "When the War Came," OK?). So, you'd imagine, I'd have faith in him covering one of my all-time favorite artists: Sam Cooke.
But Cooke is tricky. He's one of the most charismatic singers ever. His music embodies hope (I mean, the man alone assured his gospel-singing cohorts that God wouldn't strike you down for writing pop songs) as well as a deep, visceral humanity. Even the oft-objective Allmusic.com calls him "the most important soul singer in history." Meloy needn't be Cooke, of course, but his new tour-only EP, Colin Meloy Sings Sam Cooke, ought to at least capture his spirit. But, despite the poignant effect Meloy's voice has on his own material, its taut, controlled delivery and highbrow flourishes just don't translate to the language of Mr. Soul. Meloy's poker-faced take on five Cooke classics (including "Cupid" and "That's Where It's At")—though an enjoyable departure for Decemberists fanatics and a clear labor of love on Meloy's part—ends up feeling dry, plain and, well, pretty darn un-Sam Cookelike.
The EP is very Colin Meloy, which is exactly why it doesn't really work. While Meloy's take on Morrissey (Sings Sam Cooke is the third in a series of tour-only covers EPs) borrowed and re-envisioned the original artist's bread-and-butter (melodrama), this EP fails to convey Cooke's essence. On "Good Times," for instance, Meloy's restrained "lat-tah-dahs" don't, by a long shot, give you the impression he's set to party "all night long." Instead, they leave you with the usual image of Meloy: in leather armchair with ascot and monocle, reading a Norton Anthology of English Literature.
And Laura Gibson's backing vocals—which appear on every track—don't do much to help. Her voice is lovely as ever (and can be found to better effect on her own recent tour-only EP, Six White Horses), but it's similarly restrained. It simply mirrors Meloy's vacant-sounding renderings of Cooke's tunes. On "Bring It On Home to Me" (a ballsy move considering its recent covering by fellow Portlander and true soul man Britt Daniel), for instance, Meloy and Gibson's call-and-response "yeahs" lack passion—exactly what makes Cooke's music so inspiring. Meloy's version of "Summertime," on the other hand, at least does something original—its ethereal, echoed backing vocals and minor, creeping guitar setting a far eerier mood than you'd expect.
Don't get me wrong, I like this record: Meloy and Gibson's voices are some of today's best, and I can't help but enjoy Cooke's songs. It's a welcome novelty, and endless kudos to Gibson and Meloy for revaluing tangible music by issuing modern collector's items. I just don't think the songs of Meloy and Cooke—both great talents—are in the same wheelhouse. Still, if I hadn't already begged a publicist for a copy of Sings Sam Cooke, you could bet your ass I'd be at the merch table this Saturday, cash in hand.
SEE IT: Meloy and Gibson play Saturday, May 3, at the Wonder Ballroom. 8 pm. $20 advance, $23 day of show. All ages.

I just started taking the generic drug for serequel and a lower dose than the serequel I was on,and both night after taking it I wound up in bed with a pounding heart and severe dizziness.. I don't know why. This would happen on a lower dose than previously taken unless there is something in the genetic that effecs my body more than the name brand drug!! has this happened to anyone else?? Thank you!
I'm not bipolar, I experienced mania from taking Zoloft for a week! I've been on seroquel for almost 2 years. I am currently tapering off. I was on 600 mg and I'm down to 100 mg after 5 months with the help of my pdoc. The taper had gone really well for me. Mild headaches and head in the clouds feeling the first week on the new dose. This drug worked really well for me! I did gain weight, 10 lbs per year but amazing sleep makes up for it. I would recommend this drug to anyone. I hope I can go back to living a normal life without it.
took it to balance out effexor. Serious physical ailments, and semi mania for 8 years..... Now on only100mg .... hope to reduce off this later. Mainly giving me horrific dreams. Scattered odd dreams. Helping me to eat as I go thru WDs
sleep well and mind not racing at night
***DON'T be misled by folks with ulterior motives on this site (moral, religious, doctor-slamming, anti-western medicine, fear-driven) who likely haven't even tried the drug in question. It is a well-known fact in the blogging community that people try to flood these otherwise helpful sites with scare tactics to push their own agenda. My issue isn't actually listed, but it is chronic, debilitating insomnia (closest to agitation, I guess). I have tried absolutely everything else, both prescribed and not and lifestyle changes. Quetiapine was tried on me over a year ago, and now I sleep predictably, soundly, and for a full 8 hours every night. The only side effect that I've noticed is morning fog, which wears off in a few hours, though I have to take this into consideration in how I plan my day. Chronic insomnia is something to take very seriously, as seriously as any other physical or psychological disorder because it affects the mind and body, health and quality of life hugely
asleep confused and angry
This medication works great to calm me and stop the voices I hear but it makes me incredibly tired throughout the day if I don't take it at the recommended time.
My Dr prescribed this medication not only as a support medication to another med, but to also help with my sleep issue.... To go to sleep, and stay asleep. It has been very effective in helping me get the sleep I need without interruptions throughout the night.
I just wanted to say This drug Seroquel, has worked very well for me . It has kept me well from all Mania for 16 year. I really strongly advise you to take notice that the 100 mg are stronger then the 200mg's. The 100's seem to metabalize really fast with a punch... So depending what you want or need, There you have it.. Be careful!! There also are side effects with Seroquel. Don't ever take more then Dr says. You can stop breathing. Also you can gain lot's of weight if you don't have a strong will against eating late or eating large amounts of food. Because this Med makes you very hungery.. you can also get high blood sugar if you don't keep eating in check...But the good out weigh's the bad, if you have suffered from Bipolar Manic Depression you know what I mean!!

Prison Allergy Death Sparks Investigation
Update January 2013: Many Allergic Living readers expressed concern about the death in prison of Michael Saffioti, a Washington State man with severe dairy allergy and asthma. In early January, the Snohomish County Prosecutor made the decision not to lay any charges, based on a 400-page report compiled by the County Sherriff's Office. The report has not been made public, but Saffioti's mother says she and her lawyer will be reviewing it. Saffioti was supposed to be housed in the medical wing of the jail, but was not.
The following article is from the Winter 2013 of Allergic Living magazine.
Michael Saffioti's mom Rose thought her 22-year-old son was doing the right thing by turning himself into police after a missed court date last July. But for the Washington state man, who had a life-threatening allergy to dairy, one night in jail turned into a death sentence.
The young man had landed in the court system on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge – he spoke of using pot to curb crippling anxiety about his food allergy and asthma – and then a legal technicality led to him spending a night in the county prison.
Under normal circumstances, he would have gone before a judge then been released, but Saffioti never made it past breakfast. According to witness testimony from fellow inmates, the young man was given a meal that included a pancake and oatmeal, and when he reminded staff of his dairy allergy, they removed the pancake and told him the oatmeal was safe.
After a few spoonfuls, Saffioti began having difficulty breathing and asked for his asthma medication. Soon after, the prisoners were locked into their cells and the guards changed shifts. Saffioti's reaction continued to worsen. According to Anne Bremner, the Seattle lawyer representing the family, Saffioti pressed his emergency button and called for medical help, but his emergency light got turned off; as his breathing grew more labored, Saffioti pleaded for someone to call 911.
Other inmates say they began pressing their emergency buttons and yelling for help, making clear that this guy was not faking. Their calls were ignored.
Saffioti was supposed to be housed in the prison's medical ward, and his mother had made sure that corrections staff had his asthma medication, EpiPen auto-injector and medical records, and yet no help came for at least 20 minutes. A prison trustee (an inmate who has work privileges) said he watched in horror as Saffioti finally collapsed in his cell. By the time paramedics arrived, it was too late.
"The trustee is a tough guy, but he said it's the worst thing he's ever seen," says Bremner. "They let this guy die, and he was begging for help."

figured it was about time to start one of these. my expectations are obviously ridiculous this season. our schedule ain't exactly cake - but it's not what it usually is. would've rather had ole miss on there again than one of those few mickey mouse games - 1 loss will potentially murder our chances at another BCS birth this year. but what can you do? i don't make the damn schedules.
so we looked pretty good yesterday. between moody, rainey, and demps - you'd have to be ******** to say there's a better rushing attack out there. not to mention tebow in that department. that's gonna be our bread and butter this year. that will also be one reason tebow won't get another heisman - that and he'll be taken out in the 2nd quarter many games like he was yesterday.
so what was it - like 63-3? not bad. can you imagine how many points we would've put up if we hadn't taken out most of our starters with 4 minutes left in the 2nd? like a billion points. cooper and nelson looked pretty good out there - i don't think there will be any fallout from losing harvin and murphy. the talent on offense is still crazy stacked. tebow looked pretty solid as well - there were a few drops that were an automatic 6 which would've helped him greatly in the stat department. no biggie.
then the defense. i predicted this will be one of the greatest defenses college football has ever seen. after watching CSU move the chains on us yesterday - with our 1st string D still in - i was taken aback a bit. they only put up 3 points but got way too many 1st downs for my liking. we tried blitzing a bunch at first - but after seeing all the quick outs and flats from CSU - we pretty much stopped. there was not one pass play the entire game that gave us enough time to get to the QB. smart on their part. our stud CB's - haden and jenkins - played well but too many of their guys caught passes for 1st downs. i know they were playing dangerous trying for picks and big plays - b/c it was CSU and they knew the safety help was there - but i was hoping for a better performance from them. all in all - the D looked solid but i saw flaws. i'm just gonna chalk it up to the D playing reckless b/c they knew they could and still get away with it.
the only regular season game that really scares me is LSU. they are the only team on our schedule that can match our speed and they constantly give us fits. will be watching them closely this year. mississippi state kind of does too - only b/c once a decade they come out of nowhere and fugg up our season. and of course alabama for the SEC title - that defense is nuts. best ILB duo in the country by a long shot.
so what are your thoughts on yesterday's game and the rest of the season? who scares you? do you think tebow will get another heisman? will the D live up to their potential?
if you're not a gator - you're gator bait.

Comments On Mar 07, 2015:Your description of these Tusk Grip Heaters was right on. They get hot fast and as advertized, may be too hot on the high setting. With five heat settings there is always just the right one. The kit is extremely easy to install by following your very complete installation instructions. the kit is complete with everything necessary for a finished installation, with the exception of a few cable ties. With the Thumb Warmer add on, my hands will be toasty even on the coldest rides. Thank you for a great product at a fair price.

Comments On Dec 09, 2014:This is the first time I have been unhappy with a Tusk product. I read the reviews and knew the grips would be hard to get on. I first plugged them in to make sure they worked before installing. I next slowly worked the grips on. Once they were installed I had no heat. Tore one of the handles off to find out why. The wire inside the grips had split and was not making contact. Went and bought another pair to try since all the wiring was hooked up. Same problem only this time I tapped the grips on.

Comments On Jan 15, 2015:Let me start by saying i am a big RMATV fan. I really wanted to like this product. It was very difficult to get them on. I have a 2014 honda rancher and I had to use a board and a hammer to beat it on but it was still very difficult. I also used wd40 to lube up the bars. Once on the inner donut was too large and the thumb throttle would clear the inner part of the grip. I had to trim it with a knife. the plastic mount for the handle bars needs to be a little sturdier as it slightly cracked while tightening. They are warm. I am mainly giving feedback for the benefit of RMATV so they can improve their product. As they stand now I wouldn't use them again.

Comments On Nov 29, 2014:These grips appear well made and were easy to install. On my Polaris Sportsman,I really had to pound to get the grips on. They will have to be cut off. Heated up right away. One minor side note. They forgot to include a Scotchloc.

Comments On Nov 05, 2014:I just finished installing this grip heater on a 08 Grizzly 700. I must admit, I was a little concerned about how difficult the grip was going to be to slide on over the handle bars after reading the reviews. However, the grizzly must have the perfect bars for this item. After making sure my bars were very clean using carb. cleaner, I did a initial test and the grips acted as though they were made for this unit. I used a little grip glue at the leading edge of the grip and these slid right on. I found the wiring to be a joy, and the test ride proved great in 20 degree temps. Unfortunately there are different size bars which accounts for the difficulty in application. As for my experience, I plan on getting another set as soon as i finish this review for my king quad. :)

Comments On Oct 21, 2014:The grips are bonded to an inner sleeve which fits on the bar very tight. Make sure the bar is 100% clean before you try to put these on. I even sprayed WD-40 on the bar and had to hammer them on. They won't budge. If you ever have to remove them you're going to have to cut them off. They're good for a utility ATV, and work like they should.

Comments On Apr 22, 2014:I bought 2 sets of these for a trip to Northern AZ where the weather can get chilly, especially when it rains and you have to ride with damp/wet hands.
Installation went well once I got the old grips off (I used an air compressor and they popped right off). Mounting the switch was a bit challenging but I was able to make it work with some strong double-sided tape.
The grips are VERY warm and the LEDs showing the heat level are very easy to see even in bright sunlight.
The biggest negative is with the quality of the rubber. They just wont last very long. As mentioned, I put these on for a trip and we covered about 450 miles over 5 days. The grips performed well but the rubber failed miserably. It took no time for them to wear down to an almost "slick" status and the edges on the ends tore right off. Needless to say they have almost zero grip left which is very unfortunate.

Epson Exhibition Canvas (Matte and Gloss) on Canon Printer
October 25, 2012, 05:28:12 PM »
I am doing some test prints right now on Epson Exhibition Matte Canvas on my Canon ipf8300. I just got my custom profile made for it and will test it tonight, but in the mean time I just printed using the canned Lyve canvas profile and, hmmm, the print came out exactly the same. I wonder if they are basically the same canvas? I also bought Epson gloss canvas to try out. I have a feeling that might be the same as BC Crystaline? I guess I will use the profile and see how it looks. Anyone have similar experience?
Ive also purchased a spray can of Premier Art Print Shield to use for the Epson Exhibition Gloss canvas. I am thinking about using this rather than spraying BC Timeless. Thoughts on how this is going to work? I have a feeling the spray can is going to be way more expensive, but they dry in 5 minutes, so it will save me production time which is valuable. Anyone have experience in this area that can share the knowledge?
Overall how would the Epson canvas hold up over time vs. BC Lyve/Crystaline?

Crystalline and Epson Canvas Gloss are made by the same contractor. Right now the substrates and surface qualities seem identical. But if I use my Crystalline profile to make the same print on both canvases, the Epson canvas comes out MUCH punchier with considerably better d-max and much more brilliant highlights. So they are definitely not the same product.
Epson Gloss might contain OBA's, and if so I'm all for it. It can print certain important colors that are WAY outside aRGB, and considerably outside the ability of my 2690 monitor to display on the screen. The good and bad news combined is that hard proofing is pretty much required and I find myself making many more test strips and proof prints than before. Not all colors are outside aRGB of course, but the deep greens, red, and blues are real eye openers for those of use used to matte canvas. Plan to tone down those clear blue skies and green foliage.
Uncoated Crystalline is a little more resistant to scratches, but both canvases are hopelessly vulnerable to cleaning sprays and IMHO it is a serious mistake not to coat either one unless you display under glazing.
BC has mentioned that the surface of Crystalline is quite acidic and they are uncomfortable about quoting longevity. I note Epson is claiming their Gloss is "Acid Free." Does that mean something for longevity? Dunno but I can guess it does. There's a kind of pungent smell when I print of Crystalline, that is not there with Epson Gloss. I assume it has to do with the BC "no coating" technology.
Should mention that Epson has recently changed Epson Canvas Gloss very dramatically. Gone is the goofy screen door surface they used previously. If you buy any, be sure you get product numbers ending in 243, 244, and 245 for 24, 36, and 44 inch rolls respectively.
And both canvases come on super-stiff, 22mil, 400+GSM rolls which are complete PITAs in every way from edge head-bangs in the printer to pronounced curling afterwords. The last shipment of Epson Gloss seem to have softened the substrate a little, and the head-bangs are much easier to avoid. I'm hoping that's a trend. QC on both canvases is above average, which is a good thing considering the price.
Water based coating are strong solvents for both canvases. Maybe that's more pronounced with 8300 prints than with 9900 prints, not sure about that. Rolling is out of the question. You need a very thin, sprayed primer coat, then a couple more generous coats when the primer coat is dry to the touch. Not hard to do, but you really need to get your spray rates and technique under control for that primer step or you will melt your images. Both canvases can be easily coated with solvent sprays, including things like Deft wood spray from Lowes. If your setup permits solvent spraying, that's what you want.
In the last couple months have hacked through about 20 rolls each of Cystalline and Epson Canvas Gloss. On the walls both easily outshine the prints I formerly made on various matte canvases. Sales are way up. Folks are commenting how "dimensional" my prints look, which I never heard before. I'm now able to print some very sparkly, backlighted images that were complete flops on matte canvas. People like dramatic prints and that's a fact and that's why I'm sticking with gloss canvas for now.

Crystalline and Epson Canvas Gloss are made by the same contractor. Right now the substrates and surface qualities seem identical. But if I use my Crystalline profile to make the same print on both canvases, the Epson canvas comes out MUCH punchier with considerably better d-max and much more brilliant highlights. So they are definitely not the same product.
I find this very interesting, so do you have a preference between these two or any other thoughts on how they compare (I would be using them on an 8300)?
The better d-max comment is surprising because when I compare the manufacturer-supplied 4900 profiles for Epson Gloss & BC Crystalline, the BC profile looks substantially better. The Epson profile has the black point at L*=17, which is not much better than typical matte papers. Overall gamut in the Epson profile is better than you would expect from a matte surface, but it still falls short of the BC profile. The Epson profile has a higher white point (you could be right about OBA's), and its gamut extends further into the light tones. But it comes up short in the darker colors, which tends to be more limiting for actual printing in my experience.
A black point of L*=17 is not at all what I would expect from a "gloss" surface, so I had pretty much written the Epson canvas off. So are these difference real or is it just a matter of Epson putting out a lousy profile?
I've been researching options for a gloss canvas to start using, and was thinking about trying out the BC Crystalline but they're currently out of sample rolls (and also 36" rolls which is what I would end up purchasing). So now I'm wondering if I should give the Epson canvas a try. I'm not necessarily against reasonable use of OBA's, but if it's similar to the Exhibition Fibre that might be cause for concern since that paper has not held up well in permanance testing (and is a little too cool for my taste also).

Wish I had more time to discuss this, but this is my busy season. I have an 8300 and right now prefer Epson Gloss over Crystalline mainly because of a more vivid representation of the image which appeals to my clients, and also because of supply issues. But prints on either canvas are pretty stunning. Have not done any quantitative measurements on the prints, except with my credit card terminal. All other observations are empirical and based on overly romantic ideas about what constitutes a good print.
FWIW here's an iccview.de plot of my homebrew Crystalline 8300 profile against aRGB. Notice the significant poke outs in the mid tones, which correspond to colors I particularly cherish in my landscape prints. The poke outs extend from midtones up into almost the brightest areas. It makes a difference. My Xrite homebrew profiles are about 10% more voluminous than the BC profiles. As far as I can tell the extra volume represents represents real capacity. I have been printing both Crystalline and Epson Gloss with the same profile...please feel free to kick me.
Also FWIW, here's a plot of my Crystalline profile against my 2690 monitor. Thanks to Bob Fisher for suggesting this. It explains a lot of the puzzlement familiar to those who move from low gamut to high gamut media. Those blue skies, green leaves, and yellow flowers, and Coca Cola Reds can be pretty surprising on the prints. iccview.de. Priceless.
In each case the wireframes are the gloss canvas profile.

Well, so my new custom profile made for Epson matte wasn't very good. So I might have to try again. I am going to stick with Lyve profile for now on Epson Matte, as it gives the same output. BTW, Epson canvas really stinks. It smells like I have a dead fish in my studio when I print on this thing.
I tried out the Epson exhibition gloss last night using Crystaline profile, and I was disappointed. :-( It looks about the same as Epson and Lyve Matte canvas with gloss coating on it. I don't think I gained any color gamut. It looks about the same but different look due to canvas texture and different gloss finish.
Maybe I should try to make a new custom profile for the Epson gloss and try again.

In general, you need to put the pedal to the metal in post processing to really take advantage of the glossy canvases. The carefully soft-proofed matte canvas printing files I had used for a long time looked like a smoggy day in LA when I tried to print them unmodified on the glossy canvases. For the most dramatic results, the printing file has got to fill up the gamut envelope, to hugely and perhaps naively oversimplify things. But the advantage of a large gamut media can only be realized if you exploit its potential, and for gloss canvas that potential goes way beyond what was available from matte canvas.
Here's a gamut map of Lyve (the colored area) versus Crystalline (the wireframe area).

it is a serious mistake not to coat either one unless you display under glazing.
Which product do you use to coat Crystalline?

Glamour II, 1:1. Step #1 is to put the roller in the drawer. Total HVLP application of solution should be about 9ml per square foot, of which 4.5 would be Glamour II concentrate. I use GII Gloss with no Matte mixed in which takes the canvas surface gloss down a little towards the satin direction. I only mount canvases, so can't comment on wrapping characteristics.
I put down three coats at about 3ml per square foot each. The first coat is exceedingly critical. If the surface is wet too long the image will dissolve, but for me the 3ml/sq ft initial coat is well within safe margins. In New Mexico at 6000 feet in the Autumn that first coat will dry in a very few minutes. Be sure that first coat is dry before applying additional coats, you need it as a barrier to the subsequent coats.
My most useful tool in all this is the 5000 gram scale I bought for $20 on ebay. I weigh the gun before & after each coat and that's a terrific way to maintain tight process control which means no surprises and no trashed canvas. Other than for the dissolving thing, gloss canvas has excellent coating characteristics and GII levels out even better than it does on matte canvases.
If you can apply solvent sprays, that's the way to go. No dissolving issues at all and the clarity is excellent.

Sorry! There do not appear to be any upcoming Phoenix Suns events at present. If Phoenix Suns tickets have recently gone onto general sale, then it may take a few days for tickets to appear here. Please either try again tomorrow or use the search box in the menu bar above to find other great events near you!
The Suns had been playing fairly well but needs a beam of sunlight to energize their play to get into the finals. In 1975, they made it to the NBA finals but since then, it's been a thorny road to climb up to the playoffs. The 1992"93 season is perhaps the Sun's best regular season performance when Charles Barkely led the Suns to garner a 62"20 record, moving their way up to a playoff run that ended in the Finals, only to lose their chance to the Bulls in 6 games. The Suns won 62 again in 2004, and have been to the Western Conference Finals in 2004 and 2005.
The Phoenix Suns made a big step and turned things around by trading players and changing their coaching staff. In 2003"04, their current coat Mike D'Antoni cam onboard and turned the Suns back into where they are now.
In the 2006"07 season, the Phoenix Suns made it to the top of the Pacific Division but their chance wavered off when the San Antonio Spurs hammered them in the second round and finally won the championships. The Phoenix Suns surprised their fans and sports analysts when they made to trade Kurt Thomas to the Seattle SuperSonic and the addition of Grant Hill.
Will they continue to depend on Amare Stoudamire, Steve Nash, Joe Johnson and Shawn Marion or will they need more weapons to nab an NBA championship title this time around?

Keller is his favorite target and even though he didn't produce much Buff had to acocunt for him in week 1.
it's not all on those injured players, the Ol isn't good and the run game stinks as well. This is a team effort on O from mark on down.
Angry Deniers. A bunch of agenda-driven whiny clowns whose sole mission is to deny anything good that Tannehill has done and deny anything bad that the "gods of quarterbacks" have done.
There is a difference between continuing to do your job well under more difficult circumstances but still not pulling out victories and having the quality of your play tank. Sanchez is tanking. He is making poor reads and poor throws. He is not playing well.
The Jets are done, I know from experience the Miami Sporano loosing experience.
After 4 years of that moron for a head coach and now your OC the Jets are ****ed, just like Miami was ****ed when he was here

" /> Photos from Saturday's tournament
" /> Photos from Saturday's tournament
For the second straight year — despite the Charles H. Flowers High School wrestling team's best effort — Parkdale is king of the Winter Blitz tournament.
The Riverdale school ran away with the team title and had six wrestlers win individual championships at the two-day event held at Flowers.
"It was there for us to lose this year," Panthers coach Adam Forschner said. "We did pretty good. We did what was expected."
Parkdale, which burst onto the scene in Prince George's County at this same tournament last year, featured eight wrestlers in the finals while Flowers had seven and High Point sent four. The Jaguars were the runner-up with four individual champions and 253 team points. Parkdale recorded 278. High Point placed third with 198 points and had eight wrestlers place third or better in their respective weight classes.
Montgomery County schools Wheaton, Watkins Mill, Albert Einstein and Rockville placed fourth through seventh, respectively.
The match of the night, at least on paper, came between Flowers' Terron Paden and Parkdale's undefeated 195-pounder Terry Nance. The pair felt each other out for the opening 1 minute, 30 seconds before Nance lifted Paden in the air and took him down. He proceeded to record six back points on two near falls and ended the first with an 8-0 lead. Paden appeared to be favoring an injured left shoulder throughout a majority of the match. Nance took advantage and pinned Paden in the second period.
"At first, I was nervous, but this was a big match for me," said Nance, who was named the tournament's Most Valuable Wrestler. "There's some pressure when you go out there and you're undefeated, but I went out there and got it done."
The final match of the evening certainly entertained the crowd as Parkdale's Thomas Velez pinned Flowers heavyweight William Chapman in the second period after each scored four points on the other in an unusually action-packed heavyweight bout. It was the fourth of four consecutive championship-match victories for the Panthers.
"I was feeling nervous when I heard that Flowers was catching up to us," Velez said. "But at the end of the first period, the first thing I thought of was my mom. She's at work right now, but I exploded off the pistol, started thinking about her and did it for her and for my team."
High Point, which has recently been very strong at the lower weights, received a dominant effort from 106-pounder Denis Robles-Gomez, who was one of three wrestlers to win all of their tournament matches via falls. Robles-Gomez downed Parkdale's Deshawn Taylor in the finals.
"He's doing well," Eagles coach Andrew Vernor said. "He's in a great place physically, mentally and has a good work ethic. He's got to continue that, but so far, so good."
In what was arguably the most exciting match of the finals, Flowers 126-pounder Carlton Gray defeated High Point's Christian Hernandez in the last second with a takedown near the scorer's table. The two were tied, 4-4, in a well-fought bout before Gray sprung to action in the final seconds and secured much-needed team points, at the time, for the Jaguars.
At the 145-pound weight class, Henry A. Wise's Gregory Johnson and Flowers' Limini Sherman also fought to a one-point result. After Sherman was charged with a pair of technical violations, Johnson took at 3-2 lead into the third period and, despite Sherman's best efforts, Johnson was able to ride him out for the thrilling victory.
The only wrestlers to win a finals match from a school other than Flowers, High Point and Parkdale were Johnson (Wise), Surrattsville's Mareico Green and Oxon Hill's Darrian Hollings.
"The guys have been putting in a lot of hard work and it's showing," Oxon Hill coach Sean Edelin said. "I was very impressed with [Hollings'] performance because he's been sick all week with the flu."
The most unusual match of the night session belonged to Parkdale's Fernando Hurdle and Oxon Hill's Kyrahn Perez. It ended 1-0 in Hurdle's favor. The 182-pound grapplers couldn't score on one another. That trend continued into the third and the only point of the match was awarded to Hurdle after Perez was called for stalling midway through the final period.

Ash has gallantly hopped up to relieve Patrick after his long watch.
Brave and noble as he is for doing it, he does not look overjoyed about the task that faces him, and he does not look impressed with us.
Just like Patrick, he will brook no stoopidity or backchat. We are to shut up, get on with our BunChores, bring meals, drinks and treats, and keep quiet.
And show some respect. Ash opines that hoomins recently have been starting to become over-familiar and get Ideas Above Our Station.
Ash is here to tell us that This Will Not Do.
Now scurry! Scuttle! We are to begone and get on!

Ash has come to visit us in the HoominHutch in his backyard. He considered allowing us to live indoors, but we are just too smelly. He has installed a bell in the HoominHutch so he can summon us at dawn to begin our BunChores. Come sundown when we are no longer required, it's back outside to the Hutch. Hoomins should be neither seen nor heard!

Hoomin 1: It's a rabbit. Ash is a g** d**n rabbit.
Hoomin 2: Ash, can you hear me? Ash?
Ash: [speaking in an electronic, distorted voice] Yes, I can hear you.
Hoomin 2: What was your special order?
Ash: You read it. I thought it was clear.
Hoomin 2: What was it?
Ash: Bring back bunn form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.
Hoomin 1: The damn company. What about our lives, you son of a bunn?
Ash: I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.
Hoomin 2: How do we snurgle it Ash? There's gotta be a way of snurgling it. How? How do we do it?
Ash: You can't.
Hoomin 1: That's bu****it.
Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect disappointment. Its disapproving perfection is matched only by its disdain.
Hoomin 3: You admire it.
Ash: I admire its aloofness. A disapprover... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Hoomin 1: Look, I am... I've heard enough of this, and I'm asking you to rub his belleh.
Ash: [Hoomin 2 goes to snurgle Ash, who interrupts] Last word.
Hoomin 2: What?
Ash: I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.

I quit thinking long ago - it's just head down and do - usually not good enough. Go pick on some else, Ash.

That's my Ash there! :) He was very disapproving and I'm lucky I got that picture snapped just in time. :)

Recipe by NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE®
"Rich and truly divine fudge! The easy way is the microwave method."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (12 ounce) package
NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 (14 ounce) can
NESTLE® CARNATION® Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
3 cups
miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups
coarsely chopped walnuts
Every who tried it loved it, 2 people asked for the recipe, I made one batch with milk choc too. The only thing I would do next time is mix in the nuts but let cool on counter a bit before mixing in the marshmallows, some of them were starting to melt before they were folded in properly as the choc was too warm. Leave in fridge over night or you will have problems with it setting enough to pull the foil or greaseproof paper off. It also keeps in a container afterwards with no need to refrigerate, the recipe does not tell you this. You must use the right size pan, if you use a smaller pan to get thicker fudge then it would not be rocky road, the marshmallow and nuts make the fudge bumpy by sticking out slightly.
This was O.K., we've had better. It was easy to make,however-it's so rich it's just sickening. We just don't get into things that are this sickeningly sweet. Way too rich for our taste.
189 Ratings
Wow, this is really easy fudge to make. And it turned out really tasty! I changed the choc chips to 1/2 semi sweet and 1/2 milk choc to it wasn't so rich. Also, cut down on the marshmallows to 2 to 2 1/2 cups. And I suggest not to use tinfoil, as it sticks and is a pain to remove. Just spray or butter your pan. Really good!
This was super easy and delicious too!
This recipe was very simple and tastes great. I did reduce the amount of marshmallows to 2 cups. I also followed the advice of others and allowed the chocolate to cool slightly before adding the marshmallows. Instead of foil I use parchment paper. You don't have to grease it and it is easier to remove the fudge from it than the foil.
Winning recipe. Sick as I am, my son was able to make this almost on his own with me "watching" from the sidelines. He used chopped honey roasted peanuts instead of walnuts. No other changes were made. This turned out perfectly and everyone loved it. Next time, we might use half Reese's chips/half semi-sweet chips to make it peanut butter-y.
This recipe is totally easy. I wouldn't call it "fudge" though, the texture isn't quite the same. It's lighter and smoother in texture than "real" fudge. I usually melt the chocolate and Eagle Brand on the stovetop instead of the microwave. I prefer 2 cups of dry roasted peanuts (unchopped) to the walnuts (family allergy). The whole 10.5 oz package of marshmallows can be added if you like. Use your biggest bowl for mixing and press firmly into the pan with waxed paper sprayed with non-stick spray.
The best!! Even some one who doesn't cook or bake can do this one. Do not freeze. Does not thaw out well. Best to store in airtight container. MMM MMM GOOD!

Here's Darnell Dockett exercising his right to a speedy and public trial in the court of public opinion. And The verdict is in: unfunny and racist!
Apple has a new device out for Chinese people. The iOpener.
— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) December 21, 2013
Oof. Just so you know Dockett truly believes in his material, he has no intention of issuing one of those fake apologies, either. Smart move. Own the shitty joke.
I promise I won't....RT @GodFatha702: @ddockett @HubbuchNYP I predict that he "fake apologizes" tomorrow. "I am sorry if I offended anyone"

It's pretty clear that Dockett is a student at the shock humor school of comedy and it's also perfectly clear that the syllabus there is 95 percent shock and 5 percent god awful, cringe-inducing, sub-replacement-level humor. Flip the percentages and you might be on to something. But, alas. The iOpener. Do you get it? LULZ I'd have sex with a fat girl if drunj. LULZ.
Also, Darnell Dockett neighbors, beware: he steals your WiFi.
A good neighbor is one that does not put a password on their wi-fi.... I'm logged in ����

Maybe they should password protect the network. For Darnell's own good.
