When WWE's flagship show Raw was still two hours, fans were complaining that the show was full of segments and there wasn't enough wrestling. Now, you hear many fans complaining about the three hours, but I'm not complaining about anything after the latest episode of Raw.
Monday's episode featured nine matches that all were all fairly enjoyable. Now, did they all make sense? No, not really, but if you're a fan of actually wrestling, it shouldn't matter what storyline the match has to do with. Nonetheless, we were treated to three pay-per-view-caliber matches that didn't disappoint.
I usually produce a good, bad and ugly article, but when Monday Night Raw has been good as it has been lately, no need to nitpick for bad and ugly segments when mostly everything is spot on. Instead, let's power rank the nine outstanding matches from the November 27 episode of Raw.

Dylan Painton hopes to be the fifth of five South Plainfield finalists when the 152-pound NJSIAA state wrestling tournament's semifinals conclude Saturday night in Atlantic City.
Painton controlled Clearview's Ed Lenkowski in a 7-1 victory Friday night at Boardwalk Hall that sent him to the quarterfinals where he will face the Region 1 champion, Jimmy Schuitema of Phillipsburg, Saturday.
Schuitema won a 6-4 overtime decision over South Brunswick's Region 5 champion, Jordan Pagano, who defeated Painton twice this season, most recently, 1-0.
"I just have to go out there like I did last match and keep it rolling," said Painton, a Region 3 champion. "I just want to stay tough and keep coming. I know he's a tough kid but hopefully I can do as well as I did (Friday)."
Painton would then likely have to upset a returning state medalist, Chad Walsh of Camden Catholic, in the semifinals.
"Keeping my composure, keeping my head in the match at all times will be the biggest key for me," he said. "I think I can hang with anyone so I'm just going to try and make the most out of the weekend."
Painton hopes that after this weekend he will have earned the respect he deserves.
"I think I'm as good as anyone on our team," Painton said. "But it is what it is and I use (the lack of attention) as motivation."
The state tournament will continue Saturday with six rounds of wrestling, starting at 10 a.m. Included in the day will be the quarterfinals at noon and then the semifinals at 7 p.m. The state tournament concludes Sunday when the championship round is competed at 3 p.m., which follows the consolation rounds for places three through seven.
All eyes this weekend will be focused on South Plainfield's Anthony Ashnault.
Ashnault took his first step toward earning state history when he defeated Matt Zovistoski of St. Joseph of Montvale by a technical fall, 17-2, at 3:53 of his 138-pound pre-quarterfinal bout.
Ashnault, a senior who will wrestle next at Rutgers, seeks to become the first undefeated wrestler to win four state championships. If he goes 3-0 for the remainder of this weekend, he will accomplish this astounding feat. He is 37-0 this season and 167-0 for his career.
Another South Plainfield wrestler who has gotten plenty of attention over the past couple years, 145-pound Troy Heilmann, used his patented armbar to pin Matt Johns of Ramsey at 1:40 in the pre-quarterfinals.
Heilmann, a state runner-up the past two seasons, is hoping his third state final will be the charm. But first, he has to survive Saturday.
"On Saturday you have to keep a good balance of staying focused but also staying loose," Heilmann said. "You don't want to get too hyped up for your matches because anything can happen."
If he gets past Jason Gaccione of High Point, Heilmann will likely face a 2011 state champion, T.J. Miller of Camden Catholic, in the semifinals.
Then he would probably find reigning state champion B.J. Clagon of Toms River South waiting in the finals.
"I guess I'm going to wrestle with a chip on my shoulder," he said. "I'm not going to say the past two years I was happy to be there, but I don't think I wrestled to my full potential.
"I just have to know it could be my last high school match and I want to go out on top."
At 106 pounds, Yasel Corporan of Perth Amboy and Owen McClave of Toms River South will meet in the quarterfinals.
Nasiyr Brown of Neptune, the seventh seed at Region 6, and Kevin Corrigan of Toms River South are still in the winner's bracket at 113, after Brown knocked off South Plainfield's Dan Hedden with a late takedown.
At 126, South Plainfield's Corey Stasenko will face Delaware Valley's Mike Pongracz in what could be an interesting quarterfinal.
Stasenko's teammate, Scott DelVecchio, the 2012 defending champion, as well as Ocean Township's Zack Hertling are through to the 132-pound quarterfinals.
Dae'Sean Brown of Neptune made the quarterfinals at 170, while South Brunswick's Ali Yildiz and Jackson Liberty's Nick Zak are moving on at 182. Jackson's Ken Bradley (195) and Manalapan heavyweight John Appice also advanced.

Vote for your favorite design idea below!
(Voting is closed)
Painting the 150-foot century-old smokestack that rises from the Grocery Outlet parking lot is a big job, but Una Wirkebau-Hartt of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce thinks it can be done by fair time in late August-and she has a plan in place to do it.
The first step was getting the permission of the owner of the land and structure, Fred Wolfstone. He was amenable, so the next step was establishing a budget.
To do that, Wirkebau-Hartt approached the artist who painted the smokestack in Mt. Vernon with its iconic tulip.
"Jose Cordona has painted the Mt. Vernon stack three times now," said Wirkebau-Hartt. "He is very good at taking an image he did not design from a 12-inch paper and painting it. He's onboard, and very excited."
With the cost of equipment, including a lift, a design and the art, the whole thing can be done for about $40,000, she said.
Businesses including Ben Franklin are already working to raise the money.
In the meantime, Wirkebau-Hartt then moved on to the next step; an actual design. To do that, she consulted the Monroe Historical Society to learn the backstory of the soaring structure.
The chimney was once the exhaust for the steam from the process of evaporating milk, and it was built for the Carnation company, which became established in Monroe in in 1908.
The Carnation company is now owned by Nestle, so to get some ideas, Wirkebau-Hartt contact that company. They were happy to help.
"We have an original label from a Carnation can in1908," said Wirkebau-Hartt.
Three other options were prepared.
One rule about artworks on large monuments is they have to be relatively simple, lest they become a distraction to drivers and thus a traffic hazard.
Given the dairy history of the sign, one person proposed that the sign be painted with a simple cowhide pattern.
A variation on that theme was to add around the top several images of cows.
"In the 1920s and '30s it was popular to have portraits made that were very stoic, so the pictures would be that kind of look, in different frames, but instead of people's portraits, it would be cows," said Wirkebau-Hartt. "Dairies are such a huge part of our area."
A fourth idea is reflects the natural beauty of the region.
"It's an elongated view of the sky, Mt. Index, pine trees, and the Skykomish River in front," she said.
All the designs were taken form concept to actual image by Ester McClatchy, the person who created the tulip image for Mt. Vernon.
Not pictured in the designs, but which would be included on the actual smokestack, is historical information.
"At eye level, the smokestack will be wrapped with historical data, including the significance of the site and what happened there, and that's another price," said Wirkebau-Hartt.
That part would be too intricate to be painted, but Monroe's digital printing company Image Mill will wrap it.
A last piece could be placards around the base, perhaps including the names of people who once worked at the site.
"We contacted an archivist for the Carnation Company who lives in Duvall, and he has the names of everyone who worked there from 1908 to 1920," said Wirkebau-Hartt.
The Monroe Chamber of Commerce will soon offer the opportunity to vote on the images at www.choosemonroe.com. Readers can also vote on the survey that appears with this story. And look for a table coming soon to Ben Franklin at which people may place their votes.

By GARRETT RASKO-MARTINIS
Sometimes, even the hardest-hit balls find their way to ready and waiting fielders. That was the storyline through the first seven innings when North Bergen hosted Belleville at 64th Street Field in the opening round of the NJSIAA, North 1, Group 4 state tournament yesterday.
The Bruins mustered just one baserunner in seven innings against Belleville starting pitcher Jenna Lombardi, but the Bruins' luck finally turned around in the bottom of the eighth when catcher Samantha Izquierdo delivered an RBI single, lifting North Bergen to a 1-0 victory.
North Bergen (20-5), which dropped a 4-2 verdict to Secaucus in Saturday's Hudson County Tournament championship, advances to play Randolph High School today at home.
"It means a lot to the team. We didn't want to go down losing the county championship, so we're really trying hard to win states this year," Izquierdo said. "I was so nervous in that eighth inning. I just cleared my mind and just smacked it."
Third baseman Sabrina Reyes got things started in the eighth by sending a booming double over the left fielder's head. Right fielder Victoria Avella then lofted a one-out bloop single that fell perfectly in between the Belleville second baseman, shortstop and center fielder on the lip of the outfield grass to put runners on the corners.
Izquierdo then hit a hard a ground single to the left that found a hole, allowing Reyes to come around to score, securing North Bergen's walk-off victory.
"Hitting wise, we hit an awful lot of pop-ups and an awful lot of balls right at their third baseman and she played a great game," said North Bergen coach Tom Eagleson. "All the bloops we hit in the game they caught and in that last inning it was seeing-eye hits or whatever you want to call them. But we came up big at the end. (Reyes) had that double and (Izquierdo) did a great job winning the game."
Starting pitcher Jessica Feria was overpowering on the mound, tossing a complete-game shutout. She walked five, scattered three hits and struck out ten. She also stranded nine runners, routinely getting out of jams after allowing the leadoff hitter to reach base.
Three times she got out of trouble with two runners on base, including the top of the eighth. That inning, Belleville (7-18) center fielder Alisson Samaniego sent a swinging bunt down the third base line that she was able to beat out for a single. An errant throw to first allowed Samaniego to advance to second, before a perfect bunt by left fielder Sam Samaniego moved the runner to third base with only one out.
Feria pitched around catcher Frankie Ann Fontana, and the courtesy runner later stole second base. But Feria again rose to the occasion, striking out the next batter and forcing the last batter to ground out harmlessly to escape the jam. "Well I just try to keep my composure and do the best I can. I just focus on each batter and don't care who's on base. And I know my team has my back behind me," Feria said.
Lombardi allowed only the one run in seven-plus innings of work. She surrendered just three hits, no walks and struck out one.
"It was a real gutsy performance. But she made a bad pitch and (Reyes) crushed it. She was due, she had hit ropes to third and unfortunately she led off that inning with a big hit," Belleville coach Chris Cantarella said. "We played well, but they deserved to win. I told my team I'd rather lose to a good team 1-0 then beat a bad team 18-0. I was very happy today, we played great, but they were just better."
For Eagleson, after his team responded to the county final loss, it now has the opportunity to do something special in the state tournament.
"It's big because we got a shot now. If we win tomorrow, we can advance further than we've advanced in I think 18 years," he said. "They were excited to play today. (Feria), I'm sure she didn't want to go out losing the county championship game and losing today, and she responded with a great game today – an eight-inning shutout."
Belleville (7-18) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – 0 3 0
North Bergen (20-5) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – 1 4 2

Bollywood is a tough industry and maybe his daughters Sonam and Rhea could have chosen something "safer" but proud papa Anil Kapoor says he has always encouraged them to do whatever they wanted to and will continue to back them in their endeavours.
"This is a tough industry. You feel that it's better if your kids choose something else which is safer, which is less speculative, which is less in the face. Here both success and failure are for public scrutiny. In other professions, even if you can't make it or you change your profession, no one will get to know," Anil told IANS in an interview.
"This is a very, very challenging profession. And they have decided to be in it; so I have encouraged them (daughters); I have never discouraged them," he added.
While Sonam, 27, has made her mark in Bollywood as an actor, Rhea, 25, prefers to stay behind the camera. Apart from being a fashion designer, Rhea was assistant director on "Wake Up Sid" and went on to produce her first film "Aisha" in 2010. She is now working on a new film titled "Herogiri".
Though Sonam and Rhea started working at a young age, they still have fun like all other young girls, said Anil, who also has a son, Harshvardhan.
"Instead of wasting time or doing something else, they started working. It is not that they don't have fun. They have fun the way all the young girls should have. But they became conscious of work, work ethics and respected work at a very young age, which is very good and that I am very proud of," said the 53-year-old.

Sacramento. We visited it this weekend, and, having been, I'm glad that I didn't bother stopping off enroute. Sacarmento is the state capitol of California. On our arrival we had an interesting problem just getting into Sacramento (despite my parents having been there before). We got off the freeway and we drove around and around, finally seeing the tall buildings that signfied downtown. Keeping them in sight, we circled round and round, desperately trying to get to them.
Eventually we made it and, again driving round and round, found our way to the river, and the Old Sacramento. This is an area which is pretty much preserved as it was in the 1800s, a steam railway, a school house, numerous buildings that were old stores and saloons and are now stores and restaurants.
We stopped off at the school house because mum had told me about a list of rules there, not for the pupils, but for the teachers! Now, if you think being a teacher these days is tough, check out some of these rules:
Teachers each day will fill lamps, clean chimneys.
Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and scuttle of coal for the days session.
Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly.
After ten hours in school, the teachers may spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books.
Every teacher should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years so that he will not become a burden on society.
Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intention, integrity and honesty.
Duties: (before and after school sessions)
1 - Wash windows and clean classroom with soap and water at least once a week.
Apparel: (forbidden to wear in public at all times)
Women: bathing costume, bloomers for cycling, skirts slit to expose ankles, bustle extended over 10 inches.
Men: detachable collar and necktie removed from shirt, etc
Conduct: (cause for immediate dismissal)
Smoking of cigarettes, use of spirits, frequenting pool parlors and public dance halls.
Marriage or other unseemly behavior by women teachers.
Joining a feminist movement such as the suffragettes.
Now, assuming you didn't break any of these rules and laboured 'faithfully and without fault for five years [you] will be given an increase of twenty-five cents a week in his pay, providing the Board of Education approves.'
And they think it's bad now!
Anyway, we wandered around the shops and then stopped off at the Railway Museum. Lots of trains. Quite interesting. We headed for the hotel afterwards.
Now, due to mum's expertise with Priceline.com, we were staying at the Hyatt. As we found it through the tangle of one-way streets, and then found somewhere to park ($24 valet at the hotel, $17 self-park, we found a two hour limit place on the street as it was after 4 and it ceased at 6, and no charge for sundays. Cost us $1.25.) we looked toward the hotel (it was in sight of the car). We started to hear drumming. A party emerged from the hotel entrance, along with a guy on a horse! It was an Indian (dots not feathers) wedding, the groom was on the horse, two guys were drumming away, and about 25-30 people were dancing about around, what must have been, a very disturbed horse, in the middle of Sacramento (across the street from the Capitol building).
The following day (Sunday) we headed across the road to the Capitol building for a free tour. The building was modelled on the white house, but was never completed (partly because of funds, partly for politcal reasons - the offical entrance would have been on the second floor, up a long flight of steps like the white house, but because the governers office was on the first floor, he argued it would look like he was in the basement so they didn't put the steps in, but the door's there). It was an interesting place, with some rooms restored to their orginal state. They have a mosaic floor, which was taken out and cleaned during two seperate 6 year renovations, all the blocks being painstakingly numbered before cleaning and replacing. It doesn't sound impressive until you reaslise that this floor is something like 6 feet wide, by 50 feet long and contains several hundred thousand pieces (they did tell me, but I forgot). We also got to see the various voting and policy rooms (each with King and Queen chairs as the American system was based on our parliamentary system, but no one sits in them), and portraits of all the governors - something they get as a leaving present, they get to pick the artist, the people pay for it - ain't that nice.
After the tour, which was made even more interesting by a couple of gay guys who couldn't keep their hands off each other, we drove by Fort Sutter and headed for home.

Interview (Part 3): Writer-Director Tze Chun ("Cold Comes the Night")January 9th, 2014 by Scott
Tze Chun is a talented young filmmaker who first gained attention with his indie drama Children of Invention. Indiewire describes his latest movie Cold Comes the Night, starring Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston, as a "tightly wound noir thriller." Having screened the movie myself, I concur wholeheartedly. It opens in theaters and on VOD on January 10.
I caught up with Tze as he was driving from LA to San Diego for a screening of Cold Comes the Night. We had a great conversation covering how he wound his way into filmmaking, three of his movies, and his thoughts on the craft of screenwriting.
In Part 3, we wrap up our conversation about Children of Innocence, then dig into Tze's new movie Cold Comes the Night:
Scott: I'd like to talk about the ending of Children of Innocence. I thought it was so poignant. You have a set‑up earlier where the mother, amidst the family's financial struggle, she takes the kids to the mall. She calls it family day. I'm gathering you were conscious of this idea of the American dream. That, in some ways the mall represents the fantasy life of making it. But after the family is separated, when she returns in the end and they are reunited, she says it's family day tomorrow, mommy will make everything better.
The last image is of Raymond's face. It's ambiguous. Does he really believe she's learned a lesson? Does he really believe that his mother can make everything better? I'm curious about that ending. Was that always what you had in mind? What were you going for in terms of what you wanted to leave with us emotionally?
Chun: There was never really a different ending. I think the type of family problems portrayed in the film very rarely get resolved in a short period of time. The difficulties that the family is going through will probably follow them around for a good amount of time. I thought, that in order to say that, I wanted to make the ending more ambiguous. At least they are together again, and at least they've gained an understanding about themselves, at least they have each other, but it's still going to be a longer struggle ahead. I didn't want to tie the story off with a tidy ending, or as my producers liked to say "with a bow."
There were some questions about the ending. Some people really liked it. Some people feel that they wanted something more. I don't know if I was telling the story now, if I would end the movie the same way. But at the time it felt like the most emotionally honest way to tell the story.
Scott: Children of Invention debuted at the 2009 Sundance film festival. It has screened at over fifty other festivals. It has won seventeen festival awards. It received some great reviews from the New York Times, the L.A. Times, and especially a look at USA Today, who wrote, "I can't remember when I loved a movie quite as much as this one. What's your sense of why these hardened film critics responded so positively to Children of Invention?
Chun: It's always tough to say why critics respond a certain way to certain movies. I have no idea really. I'm glad that they liked it, but I'm not sure why. I think so many great movies don't even get reviewed. We were lucky that we got reviewed from these top critics, actually.
Scott: Let's shift to Cold Comes to Night. That's being released on January 10, 2014. A plot summary: "A struggling motel owner and her daughter are taken hostage by a nearly‑blind career criminal to be his eyes as he attempts to retrieve his cash package from a crooked cop."
Children of Invention you could say is a straight ahead drama. Cold Comes to Night is a crime‑drama with a thriller dynamic. What was the genesis of this project, and how did it evolve?
Chun: As a filmmaker, I just want to be working as much as possible. I looked around and saw that, you know, with small dramas, there's a limit to the number of them that get made. There's a limit of size of the audience, even if it does get good reviews. It's hard to get people to come and watch the movies and for the movies to be profitable and for the filmmakers to make a living. It's sad, but there's a glass ceiling for these smaller quiet indie movies that I always wanted to make. I'm sure there's an American Kiaorostami making beautiful movies right at this moment, but I'm also sure that he's working at a coffee shop to make ends meet.
So, I started thinking back to the movies I loved growing up. A lot of those were crime‑dramas. Movies like Mean Streets or The Godfather or Blood Simple. I decided that I wanted to make a crime‑drama next, and I wanted to make my version of it. To me, Children of Invention had a little bit of a crime angle. Both Children of Invention and Cold Comes the Night take place in a world where everyone is opportunistic, and where people are willing to skirt the law to get ahead. My manager put me in touch with these two guys, Osgood Perkins, and Nick Simon, who ended up being my co‑writers on Cold Comes the Night. I pitched them a few ideas, and they pitched me a few ideas. I think the one that spoke to all of us was the story of this woman, this single mother, who ran a motel and who has a bad man come into her life.
We knew from the very beginning that we wanted to do a thriller with an atypical protagonist. We wanted to turn the "woman in peril" genre-trope on its head. We introduce Chloe as a hard working single mom who is down on her luck, but by the end, as the adventure peels off layers, we come to find she's also opportunistic and cunning and at times downright evil.
I wanted to create a female character where people would leave the theater with conflicting thoughts about her. I think that there are very few female characters that are given that chance to be morally ambiguous. It's nice, actually. I've had a couple experiences where people have come up to me after a screening and one person will tell me "I really felt for Chloe. I was on her side the entire time. She was trying to do the best thing for her daughter…" and the person's date will say "Whoa, how evil was that Chloe lady?"
Scott: Let's pick up on that. There are three main characters. Chloe, that's the mother, and she's played by Alice Eve. There's her ostensible boyfriend Billy, and he's a policeman, played by Logan Marshall Greene. She's a manager of a motel, where there's a prostitution thing going on, and he gets some kick‑backs on that.
Then we meet Topo, who is this criminal bag man, played by Brian Cranston from "Breaking Bad". So, you've got these three characters at the center of the story. They're all living on the fringes of the law in this morally ambiguous universe. What interested you to explore these three characters.
Chun: I think part of it is the world that I grew up. As you can probably tell from Children of Invention, my sister and I grew up working class, and the people that I would come into contact with, in my family life, were, to some degree or another, on the outskirts of society. There was something about the motel, about the world of all these people who are, like you said, on the outskirts of society, doing these things that are criminal, or on the gray line of criminality. That just kind of interested me.
Scott: It's even to the extent of where you set it, in Greene County, New York. I did a little research on that, and found the per capital annual income there is less than $20,000 per family. And so it has a feel of that zero economic opportunity for locals, at least legally.
Chun: Yeah. We shot in Greene County, New York. We shot in a town of 1500 or 1600 to maybe 1800 people, and yeah, there are limited jobs, limited economic resources. There are towns that you drive through that are essentially dead, that only have money coming in a few months every year, for hunting season. But the people are tough and they're survivors.
There is something interesting about being away from urban life. There's not a lot of oversight, and for me, there's this feeling that you could get away with illegal activity, and that if you were living there, illegal activity might be the only way to provide for the people that you love.
Scott: You mentioned Blood Simple as a reference point. Were you thinking at all of this being sort of like a modern film noir type thing, or maybe even an influence of some of those early movies by John Dahl in the nineties?
Chun: I don't think I've seen any John Dahl movies except for Red Rock West, but I remember liking it a lot. Blood Simple will always be one of my favorite movies. But I see what you're saying though – both movies have a modern film noir quality, but the other thing they have is a real sense of place.
When we were prepping Cold Comes the Night, in all my conversations with the department heads and actors, we kept on saying "yes, this is a genre movie, but we don't want it to lose its link with reality. Yes, they'll market this as a genre movie, and they'll cut a trailer out of it that will look like a genre movie, but the questions we need to keep asking ourselves is, 'does this feel real to us?'"
When you make a movie that has a genre, like a crime drama, you have to stop yourself from going onto autopilot, to adhere to genre conventions. Wherever possible, we tried to wake ourselves up out of that, and to create a movie that took place in our real world. Part of that was shooting on location and trying to take as much of that atmosphere, and getting that into to the movie.
Tomorrow in Part 4, Tze discusses how he worked with Bryan Cranston in shaping his character in Cold Comes the Night and what it's like to have a movie just about to open in theaters.

Emmy Nomination Preview 2010 - Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy
Jon Cryer returns, but a host of 'Modern Family' men will look to take him down
Next gallery »Emmy Nomination Preview 2010 - Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy
« Previous galleryEmmy Nomination Preview 2010 - Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy
Jon Cryer of 'Two and a Half Men'
Jon Cryer, "Two and a Half Men"
Nomination Status: This category's defending champ, just in case you've forgotten.
In His Favor: Last year's Emmy ceremony was supposed to be Neil Patrick Harris' coronation, but instead it was a night of career validation for the well-like, only-sometimes-respected Jon Cryer. While Cryer's win was an upset, it was only a minor upset and, after nominations four straight years, there's no reason to imagine that Cryer won't pick up another nod for a reliable comedy that remains TV's most watched. As usual, Cryer will be surrounded by nominees from hipper, edgier shows and he'll enter the telecast as an underdog. That doesn't mean we're predicting a second consecutive win for Cryer, but he'll be there when the names are read.
Working Against Him: For a nomination? Nothing except those pesky hipper, edgier shows. As we're sure to note again later, this is perhaps the most competitive Emmy category of all, with all six nominees still in the running this year, plus at least a dozen worthy competitors from newer shows including "Modern Family," "Community" and "Parks and Recreation." Even if we predict that three or four actors will hold onto their position, including Cryer, the number of potential replacements is legion.

Belle Suite
Hannah "Belle" Goodwin operated the home as a men's boarding house in the 1900′s, so we felt she deserved the naming rights to the largest suite in the home. The Belle Suite is on the first floor and is the perfect romantic getaway. A roomy two-person bathtub in half of the room beacons you to relax in warm bubbles. An adjoining dressing room features your own private shower and commode. An oversized marble and mahogany king bed fills the other half of this deliciously rich chocolate and raspberry colored room. We think Hannah "Belle" would be pleased!
Rates range from $169.00-$199.00 seasonally

Kalamazoo, MI- After absorbing losses to their roster due to injuries and call-ups, the Kalamazoo Wings are starting to replenish those numbers. Earlier this morning, the forward Ludwig Blomstrand was reassigned to the K-Wings by the Vancouver Canucks.
Blomstrand, who was reassigned to the American Hockey League's Utica Comets, last Thursday, played in one game with the Comets. In 40 games with the K-Wings, Blomstrand has posted 23 points (12 goals, 11 assists).
The K-Wings have also signed free-agent defenseman Tyler Hinds. Kalamazoo will be the fourth stop during Hinds' rookie season. The defenseman also saw action this year with the Utah Grizzlies, Greenville Road Warriors and Evansville IceMen.
The native of Orleans, Ontario was a four-year standout at Robert Morris University. Hinds' most productive season with the Colonials was during his senior campaign, where he posted 18 points (3 goals, 15 assists) in 38 games. Following his final collegiate game a season ago, Hinds began his pro career in the playoffs playing in three games for the Central Hockey League's Arizona Sundogs.
In a separate transaction, the K-Wings have waived forward John May.
Kalamazoo will continue their season long six-game road swing with the second-leg of the trip tonight, Wednesday, April 2nd with a 7:05 p.m. face-off versus the Elmira Jackals.
Tickets for the final regular season game on April 12th versus the Evansville IceMen and playoff K-Wings home games are currently on sale at the Wings Stadium Ticket Office, all Ticketmaster locations, including www.ticketmaster.com or by calling (800) 745-3000. Ticket office hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturdays.
Individual regular season ticket prices for home games are $13 and $17.50 for adults and only $7 for kids ages 12 and under. Fans can save money by purchasing K-Wings single-game tickets in advance. Tickets purchased on the day of a game increase by $2 (adults only).
K-Wings Pepsi playoff tickets are also available. Thanks to Pepsi, the first 2,500 fans that purchase tickets specifically for game one of round one will enjoy a special $4 ticket price. These special $4 tickets for game one are part of the team's 2013-14 season long 40th Anniversary celebration and reflect ticket prices from the K-Wings Inaugural 1974-75 season.
Regular pricing for all other K-Wings Pepsi Playoff games are $17 and $20 for adults and only $8 for children 12 and under. Also, courtesy of Pepsi, the team is offering special $10 tickets for groups of 15 or more throughout the playoffs.
Group ticket packages for the regular season or playoffs may be ordered through the K-Wings Sales office by calling (269) 743-6011.

Muskegon Township landlords are being put on notice: Don't gouge your tenants on water and sewer bills.
The township board, meeting as the water/sewer board, last week unanimously passed two anti-gouging ordinances.
One bans any water customer in the township from reselling water at a profit. The other bans private entities from imposing sewer bills higher than the township charges.
The targets of both new ordinances are the owners/managers of apartment complexes and mobile-home communities in the township.
According to Community Development Director Dave Fisher, who proposed the ordinances, some landlords have bought or are planning to buy their own meters to measure water flow to individual tenants, allowing the complexes to bill the tenants for their water use and sewage flow.
That's fine with township officials, but only as long as landlords don't try to profit by it. "I don't want them gouging their customers," Fisher said.
He said there had been problems in the past -- since corrected -- with at least one apartment complex billing tenants for water at rates far higher than the township charges.
The new ordinances will allow the township to take any future violators to court to stop the practice of wringing a profit out of water and sewer use.
Sewer billing based on the amount of municipal water used -- as opposed to a flat-rate sewer bill each quarter -- is relatively new to Muskegon Township. Since last year, commercial customers such as apartment complexes have been charged $1.65 per 100 cubic feet (or 748 gallons) of water used.
Over the coming year, the same billing method will take effect for private residential customers.

Ingredients for Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix Cake
For this recipe, you will need:
1 2-layer devil`s food cake mix
1-1/3 cups water
1/2 cup safflower or peanut oil
3 large eggs
1-1/3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
16 oz. semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.Combine the cake mix, water, oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl, and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well-combined.Now pour the cake batter into two greased 8-inch round cake pans. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Now heat the cream and butter in a medium saucepan until the mixture comes to a low boil. Add the chocolate, and stir with a wire whisk until the chocolate is fully melted into the cream mixture. This is called a ganache. Set it aside to cool for 20 minutes. Now line a 9-inch springform pan with waxed paper. Cut the cooled cake into cubes, and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Now pour 1-1/3 cups of the ganache mixture over the cake cubes. And beat with an electric mixer until the texture becomes like thick fudge. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared springform pan, and press it down with a spatula. Freeze for 1 hour. Now unmold the sides of the pan. And flip the cake onto a serving plate. Remove the springform pan bottom, and peel off the waxed paper. Now you can use the remaining ganache to frost the cake. And here`s your chocolate cake mix fudge cake.
Happy cooking..

text: Iranian-born directors film shot during election premieres at Berlin festival The Associated Press ~ staff The News Published on February 17, 2010 Share 0 0 Comment Send to a friend Print Send to a friend Send this article to a friend. Name* Email* Your name* Your email* Comments Submit BERLIN - An Iranian movie, made against the backdrop of last year's election campaign and centring on a man whose wife is killed in a shootout between police and demonstrators, made its debut Tuesday at the Berlin film festival. Director Rafi Pitts said he received authorization to make "The Hunter" from Iranian authorities and shot it before the violence that followed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election last June. Pitts, who grew up in Tehran but has lived in Britain and France since, said he had "no idea" when the film might be shown in Iran. "I don't think it's a one-sided film, so I think it has the right to be shown," he said at a news conference. "The question is, will they give me the right?" The film's main character, played by the director, is released from prison amid talk of upcoming elections and Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, talking on the radio about change. He tries to spend time with his wife and young daughter, but they are accidentally killed in a shootout. Pitts' character, Ali, randomly shoots dead two policemen on a city highway, after a long and frustrating wait for information, and flees before being nabbed by two officers who argue about what to do with their captive. Pitts insisted that the film depicts a "Kafkaesque situation (that) relates to many countries, it's a universal theme." "A script is a road map, and with that road map you will then make your film inspired by anything that surrounds you," he said. "It happened to be that we were shooting the film during the elections." "When the (postelection) events took place, of course I felt a lot of pain for what happened, of course I disagree with it, but . . . I can't foresee the future in that way," he added. Demonstrators' chants can be heard off-camera in the film. "The Hunter" is one of 20 films competing for the festival's top Golden Bear prize, which will be awarded Saturday. It is the latest of several Iranian films to compete in Berlin in recent years, including Pitts' "It's Winter" in 2006. Jafar Panahi's "Offside," a film following girls who disguise themselves as boys to sneak into a football match in Tehran, won a runner-up Silver Bear the same year. Panahi, whose "The Circle" won the Venice film festival's top Golden Lion prize in 2000, was scheduled to attend a panel discussion on Iranian cinema in Berlin, but organizers said Tuesday that he had been denied permission to leave Iran. "We are surprised and deeply regret that a director who has won so many international prizes has been denied the possibility to take part . . . and to speak about his cinematic visions," festival director Dieter Kosslick said in a statement. Panahi was briefly detained during a July demonstration in Tehran and wore a green scarf - the opposition's colour - at a Montreal festival last summer. In apparent retaliation, authorities barred him and others from travelling to another festival in October. "I believe in freedom of speech," Pitts said. "I think that he should be here."

Springtime Penne is a stovetop entrée that includes one of the first fresh spring garden veggies, asparagus, along with ham, onion and pasta in a creamy sauce. You may replace penne with any type of pasta you choose.
Bathing suit season is approaching way too fast, and salad is being eaten often! If you're tired of lettuce and mixed greens, simple sliced cucumbers, peppers and sweet onion make the Colorful Cucumber Salad a low-carb (5.4) and low-calorie (28) choice. A dash of garlic salt and a scant 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper give this side salad some zip.

Add the ham, cream, pepper and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook over low heat for 1 minute. Add pasta to the asparagus mixture, toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yields 8 servings.
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, optional
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Dash garlic salt or red pepper
2 cups sliced cucumber
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
1/4 each of a red and yellow pepper

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon baking powder

Well I win in madden every year. So loses aren't acceptable. In all reality though. Odds are all of us are old enough to have seen 2 superbowls in our lifetime. That's more than enough for myself....
I read a month or so ago that there could be a jump in the cap to 150 mil. Maybe even 160 mil in 2016 being possible. The trend would be beneficial to these spikes in cap hits later on, no?
Can't tell if you agree or not. We need a center. I'm sorry I would have held out and waited for the Browns to make some more moves. Then hit Alex Mack with a contract they cant touch. So now we...
Not pumped about the contract. The signing yes. Yet that's money that could have been spent better on Alex Mack.
Oh please Clinton-Dix quote Ted some scripture. May the force be with us all.
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila one of my favorites KGB and the Kamp of Pain Kampman.
You're absolutely right. Right now he wants on the field and is going to take whatever offer any team gives him. So if he will play in the NFL why not come home.
I want Nick Collins to get his chance to come back.
Then hope C.J. Mosely drops to us.
Signed. Yet who do we promote? Do you think Kevin Greene could do it?
Just wanted to stop in and express my hatred for Finley. **** YOU FINLEY!
I just don't see him as big of a mismatch threat as most I guess. His dropped passes and sloppy ball control are not worth his money. I mean how long do we have to wait for him to be worth 8.5...
I wish we could put Finley on the IR and make a play at Cameron. I hate Finley and wish he was gone.
I'm all for skipping a rb and going for some offensive line help. Just maybe we might get more productivity out of our running game. I'm tired of the o-line looking sub par.
And Kurt Warner went from bagging groceries to the greatest show on turf. So your point?
Jeff Saturday did a lot better then I expected. Benson was only getting things going. I don't see the how one can abolish what they did or could have done. Yet these are also FA/Trading threads. No...
I can't argue with 4 mil a season. I can see Harris carrying the workload. Yet, I will be more upset if we pay Jennings 10 mil to keep him from Ponder. And didn't make a harder push for Jackson and...
I don't know but I feel like we should have went for Reggie Bush before Steven Jackson.
In other news Casey Hayward Defensive Rookie of the month. I love this kid and could definitely be defensive rookie of the year if he keeps this play up.
I don't even care about our run game right now. I'm just ready to see Casey Hayward again this weekend. Honestly I believe this kid is the best pick we got out of the draft. Coverage is insane. Yeah...
I know... Too much optimism but if our only options are Sjax and Dwill I don't want either. No sense in making a deal for Mr. Right Now. I'd rather waste a 1st on long term.
Lets get Tebow and put him at running back. It would be an improvement no? I want Ronnie Hillman. But if they are asking a second for Dwill that is outlandish. I'm sure we could pry mark ingram for a...
I really want to pull Courtney Upshaw, Zach Brown, or Bruce Irvin.
Now my question is what's it going to cost to move up and take Upshaw?
If the price is right i'm down for it.
Don't think you could've nailed any better.

By Tom Raabe, Special to the Leader
Since the leadership change at the end of November, there has been a lot of activity, and progress, at the Forest Grove Chamber of Commerce. Interim Executive Director Ray Giansante has "hit the ground running," and here are some of the things that have been happening:
The chamber's December Wine Raffle was a big success. In fact, more wine was donated, and tickets sold, than in past years.
The chamber has received tremendous community support throughout its history, and that has continued to this day. The chamber wishes to thank all of the community members who have volunteered to work in the front office, and continues to seek volunteers to help out. If you can spend a few hours answering phones in the chamber office, please contact us.
The chamber's accounting staff, including CPA Jon Larson, has done an excellent job in determining the chamber's tax situation and we are currently working with state and federal taxing authorities on a workable repayment plan. All required tax returns will be filed by the end of February.
The Friday Flash continues to be a great summary of local happenings and chamber events. Please contact the chamber at 503-357-3006 if you wish to receive this weekly update via email.
The Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee continues to meet on a weekly basis to enhance communication among the chamber leadership.
Perhaps most importantly at this time, planning for the 26th Annual Spring Dinner and Auction is moving along at a fast pace. Tickets and table sponsorships for this event, to be held on Saturday, March 2, at Pacific University, are selling very well, but there are still tickets available at $60 each or $120 per couple. We are receiving many wonderful auction prizes, and it promises to be a wonderful evening.
The chamber has been getting a lot of questions from the community regarding the timeline for hiring a new executive director.
The previous director, Teri Koerner, was fired back in November for failing to file required tax returns since 2010, resulting in unpaid taxes and fines. The chamber is negotiating with the IRS and the Oregon Department of Revenue on the amounts of liability.
The chamber board has decided that the recruitment process would begin in earnest sometime after the auction, as this is the main priority for the chamber at this time. More than likely, it will be several more months before a new executive director is hired. The chamber will notify the community when this process is set to begin.
The chamber wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to the community for its support, especially through the recent leadership transition. This is but one example of the strength and commitment of the Forest Grove community itself.
Tom Raabe is vice president of Columbia Community Bank and president of the Forest Grove Chamber of Commerce.

Sometimes you have to pay the pied piper. This stock is manipulated when are you going to understand that. According to you, Ima 6th grade uneducated dufas that keeps on getting lucky and somehow my birdies are smelling the rosed once again. Good luck with all your anaylsis cause its really a bunch of crap others than providing good information.
Where did you get lucky? You sold at 2.31 and missed a run to 3.40. Now your claiming you sold the rest on Monday or Tuesday. When did you sell and not tell us? How many shares rory? You're a idiot who after the facts you make bold statements, because everytime you make one before the facts, you look like a loser.
Every stock is manipulated. If you today put a stop in at 2.25, we would see it moved down and those shares you wanted protection would be gone. Glad you finally admitted your education level. That about sounds right.
I had sound reasons for selling my shares and I shared it. Before the facts.
Sentiment: Hold
Kyjelly, Max,
If you had your way only Astex cheer keaders could post here. The fact that Astex has an inept leader has no value to your analysis. I say Man uso is the biggest reason why this company remains a $2 stock. The past is the best predictor of the future. If you disagree, you name call. What does that day. Give me examples of Man uso's best performances.

Comments about White Plantation Media Stand:
This product turned out nicely and fit my need for a small media console. Easy to assemble, however the color is NOT even close to white...or even a cream ,has more yellowish hues- kind of a cheap looking. Dissapointing, given that this piece wasnt that cheap. recommend if you're open to a yellow shade of white and need a media console- would not recommend if it has to be white.
Comments about White Plantation Media Stand:
This is a really nice media center. It's heavy, the finish is nice, and it was pretty easy to put together. I really recommend it. It does have areas of distressing,but I like that.

On Day 2 I rode around west LA to try to get a feel for the city - Santa Monica, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Hollywood
Then I saw this guy on the sidewalk in Beverly Hills. Moussed-up spiky hair carefully arranged, shades, goatee and 2 day beard, bluetooth headset in place, designer shirt untucked from designer jeans, pacing up and down the sidewalk next to his blacked-out Range Rover. He was working that headset, chatting up one person after the next. Total LA style in action. This is who people were striving to be, I think, I get it! But who was he striving to be? He had the animation of Tom Cruise, and the scruffiness of Kevin Costner (though not as endearing). They say that you need to know who your are and who you want to be. But I think this guy was suffering from multi-celebrity aspirational syndrome. He can't decide who he wants to be, Tom or Kevin, and it's driving him to pace, rant, and make confused wardrobe choices. There's a lesson here: Be true to your aspirational celebrity self, for than as the night follows the day, you'll look great and be at peace.

Grocery store's departure is a big loss to community
Progress? No.
It saddened me greatly to learn of the Farmers Market grocery store's closing.
It had been a fixture of Auburn Way South for just over 10 years and supplied a greatly needed grocery source for that part of town. Although it was small, it had great meat and produce prices. We watched it grow from a simple "dollar"-type store to a real little gem of a grocery store that was fun to visit.
After the small QFC store closed up by the casino, it became a very important store for that part of the city. Its departure will now create a hardship for a number of residents and a great inconvenience for many others. There is no other full service, convenient grocery store in that area of the city. Nor is there one that caters strongly to minorities.
The owners of the store were making a profit and holding their own financially. It was the property owner who decided not to renew the store lease that is causing this issue. Frankly, the so-called progress of development is not progress in this case – it is solely greed. Someone's push for the almighty dollar this time will not cause progress. It will simply cause hardship for all those negatively affected.
Farmers, we will miss you.

Tasting Notes
The color is a very deep and intense red with violet hints; the bouquet is of red fruits, raspberries and cherries, but also with sweet hints of cream. On the palate, it has good structure and well developed tannins, soft yet powerful at the same time. A very well balanced and harmonious wine.
Food Pairing
Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino is an outstanding companion to veal, red meats and cheeses.

Are you sure you are plugging them in the composite and not the component?
Hello i used my Wii on my standard TV and it worked perfectly. However i have bought an HDTV and things are not going so well. I have plugged it in and tried it on all the scart sockets yet no matter what i do the colour quality is very poor, i have also tried just putting the coloured cables directly into the TV, still dont work well. Basically everything is greyish/brownish, i have a UK pal console, and i have noticed that the TV seems to be playing it as NTSC, when i switch to PAL (via the remote), the colour works better but the screen goes all fuzzy and jerks all over the place
Has anyone experienced this? Does anybody have a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Are you sure you are plugging them in the composite and not the component?
Thanks for the reply
Yeah, just to be safe i plugged the coloured cables in both the S-cable holes (the red,yellow,white) and later the HD (component?) holes and tried it with both. No image at all through the HD holes, while i got a grey/brown image through the S-cable holes. I got a grey/brown image through both the scarts too
As far as i can tell iv'e set it all up right
Ok maybe my HDTV tv wont support 480i at all then. Does anyone think that perhaps buying a composite cable will fix the problem? I dont want to buy one and find out it wont work tho, so im just going to ask before i do
I'm sure your TV supports 480i since that is what most things are in including most TV stations. The red white and yellow cables that came with your Wii are composite.
S-Video -
Composite -
Component -
Yeah when you put it that way it kind of makes sense, but still, somethings up Ok what ill do then is ill just go ahead and buy the component cable and see how it goes. Since it outputs 480p, it should work on an HDTV no matter what, as the entire point of HDTV's are to output High Def. I'll post back tomorrow saying whether things are sorted out by the new cable
Picked up a component cable for £15. It works!!!! In fact everything is really bright and colourful now, more so than on my old TV!
Thankyou for the help

Swim takes second at state
Godfred and the 200-yard freestyle relay team win state championships
By Matt Phelps
Mercer Island Reporter
Gearing up for the state swim meet starts, for some teams, at districts. For teams like Mercer Island, the focus begins during the preseason. That constant drive culminated Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center as the Islanders placed second overall as a team with 242.5 points behind Kennedy High School (286).
"This is what we've been working for, and they swam well," said Mercer Island swim coach Jeff Lowell.
The high team placing would not have been possible without the program's first individual-event state titles since 2002.
The first championship was a bit unexpected following the prelims on Friday. Mercer Island junior Rachel Godfred was nearly one full second out of first in the 200-yard individual medley and came into the finals as the No. 3 seed overall. Godfred got a good jump from the blocks, but none of the top five swimmers in the race could gain a substantial lead.
"I wasn't feeling that good during prelims, but it is one of my favorite events," said Godfred.
It came to no ones surprise that Godfred continued to stay close as the swimmers went through the four different strokes. The junior qualified for the "Ironman" award, earning state qualifying times in all of the regular season's individual events, for the third consecutive season.
"You get all of those strokes in if you get the Ironman, so it was good practice for the individual medley," said Godfred.
The race came down to the final turn and the junior sprung off the wall with a little extra speed. As she emerged from under the water, she had the lead. Alice and Gordon Godfred, along with the other Islander fans in the stands, realized she had a shot, standing and screaming. Lowell gave a fist pump as Godfred touched the wall (2:07.95) nearly two seconds faster than her prelim time.
"It was cool to get it," said Godfred, who won her first state title on her mother's birthday. "You never know who is going to come along next year, they could be faster than you."
Godfred won a second first-place medal six events later. The Mercer Island 200-yard freestyle relay team came into the finals as an underdog as well. The team had qualified with the second fastest time during prelims, but the pressure came from the scoreboard as the Islanders needed to win the race to keep pace with Kennedy, which was the third seed in the event.
First into the water was Islander freshman Lauren Poli, who set a new school record in her leg with a time of 30.6 seconds.
"She got us off the blocks really well, and Bliss gave us a lead during the second leg," said Lowell.
Bliss, the only senior on the team, left nothing to question.
"I was really nervous 'cause I knew that we needed that race," said Bliss.
Bliss handed off to sophomore Jennifer Pak, who kept the team close. Godfred hit the water for the anchor leg of the race and charged to the finish. The team earned an All-American Consideration time by completing the race in 1:38.76. Kennedy would finish third.
"I have never won before," said Bliss in her final high school meet. "It felt really good."
The Islanders continued to score big points in the relay events by taking second in the 200-yard medley relay. Islanders Olivia Boeck, Poli, Melissa Chandless and Hannah Bliss completed the race in a time of 1:51.29.
In the 400-yard freestyle relay, Pak, Godfred, Chandless and Olivia Graham placed third overall with a time of 3:40.28. The three relay events combined gave Mercer Island 106 points.
Godfred's third-place final in the 100-yard butterfly was the only other top-five finish for Mercer Island. The junior completed the race in a time of 58.36.
Chandless picked up her third and fourth medals of the meet during the 100 butterfly as she took eighth with a time of 59.86 and took seventh in the 200-yard individual medley (2:15.30).
"I was just glad to get to the podium," said Chandless, who is a senior. "It is kind of sad that this is the last time, but I am glad we are doing so well."
Poli also got to the podium one more time as she finished seventh in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:09.11). The freshman also finished 10th (24.97) in the 50-yard freestyle, behind Bliss, who won the consolation final (24.77).
Graham's eighth place finish (5:26.52) in the 500-yard freestyle capped Mercer Island's medal collection.
Mercer Island's trademark depth came into play during the 200-yard freestyle consolation final as Pak took ninth (1:58.61), Graham took 11th (1:59.39) and Sarah Petrini took 14th (2:01.40).
Pak also finished 11th in the 100-yard freestyle (54.88) with Bliss just behind her, finishing 13th (55.00). Petrini also raced a second time on Saturday, taking 12th in the 500 freestyle (5:25.02).
Islander junior Sara Markwith finished the 100-yard breaststroke in a tie for 13th place with a time of 1:11.64, while Boeck took 15th overall in the 100-yard backstroke (1:03.78).
"I am loving every second of this meet," said Boeck, a senior. "But it is sad, and I will miss this."
Frost takes third in dive
Mercer Island resident and Seattle Prep student Holly Frost punctuated a commanding diving career with a third-place finish at state. Frost began her diving career at Mercer Island High School, diving for the program during her freshman and sophomore seasons before transferring to the Panthers' team. Frost collected 406.65 points during the competition and was just two-tenths of a point from second place.
"The competition was very stiff, one-through-three," said Frost. "I was only out seven points until the final dive."

Bag the resolutions and pass the Skittles
By Kay Braddock
Steppin' Out
Flipping through my sons' homework pages last week, one sheet in particular caught my interest. It was a list of resolutions – a short list of two, mind you – but at least it was an assignment that the young students were given allowing them an opportunity to ponder areas in need of improvement. It was obvious this list – as short as it was – had sincerely been thought through by the resolutions he chose – going to sleep earlier and stopping his bad temper.

Prosecco, the light sparkling wine from Italy, is king in the Veneto region west of Venice that is part of the larger region known as the Venezie. But many other wines are produced in the hilly towns that dot the area.
One of the most versatile producers, in Conegliano, is Astoria, which makes numerous versions of prosecco, as well as a healthy assortment of red and white still wines from classic and indigenous varietals.
Astoria Caranto Pinot Noir Venezie 2011 is medium red, with scents of red fruit, spice, chocolate, wood and earth. Its flavors are simple and light, and the wine goes fairly tannic midway to the finish. Pair it with spaghetti, other red-sauced dishes or hamburgers and you'll be very happy.
Price: $9.99.
Where we found it: The Fresh Market in Shaker Heights.
Pairings: Spaghetti, lasagna, hamburgers, pizza, poultry and hard cheeses.
Each week, Rosenberg highlights a moderately priced wine worth trying. Listed retail prices are based on state of Ohio minimums.

Encyclopedia Dubuque
Planning for the construction of Wahlert started at a meeting on June 17, 1955, with discussions between Archbishop Leo BINZ and pastors of the Dubuque parishes about the deteriorating state of the existing parochial high school buildings. A second meeting on July 1st concerned the site for the school. On July 13 it was announced that H. W. (HARRY) WAHLERT would donate one quarter of a million dollars toward the construction of a new high school for Catholic students in Dubuque.
The high school, covering 222,860 square feet, was constructed on fifty acres across from the intersection of Chaney Road and Kane Street. The final cost of the project was $3,250,000 toward which each of the parishes made contributions. The official name of the school was announced on February 25, 1959, when the archbishop, with the unanimous endorsement of the Council of Administration, named the school in honor of Harry Wahlert. The opening day for the school was August 31, 1959, although classes first met on September 3.
Wahlert's Reserved Officer' Training Corps (ROTC) detachment, dating from its beginning at Columbia College (now LORAS COLLEGE), made it the nation's oldest junior ROTC unit. Relations between the high school and the Department of the Army were ended on July 1, 1963.
In 1974 Wahlert was selected as one of twenty schools in the United States to participate in the National Humanities Faculty's two-year bicentennial study of "The American Covenant: The Moral Uses of Power." Wahlert was one of two Roman Catholic schools chosen from the one hundred that applied to participate.
In 1998 the first class to spend four years under Wahlert's outcomes-based education became seniors. The program required graduating seniors to demonstrate mastery of a subject to pass a test or class. To graduate, each student also had to produce a portfolio of their work and make a major presentation. (1)
Wahlert, accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the Iowa Department of Education and the ARCHDIOCESE OF DUBUQUE, is governed by a board elected by the fourteen Dubuque area parishes who support the school financially. During the 1989-90 academic year, the school enrolled 973 students from Dubuque and the tri-state region.

Post-exertion muscle soreness/strain can happen to any horse, but the high demands placed on the muscles of a Quarter Horse can easily lead to some soreness. Add to that the fact that they're also prone to some breed-related muscle problems, and you know you need to pay attention to their muscles.Muscle is protein, and building/maintaining muscle requires protein. Most performance-horse diets contain more than enough protein to get the job done, but if the horse is failing to build or maintain muscle as expected, supplementation with HMB or a branched chain amino acid
