A fun clutch is one of our favorite accessories! Clutches can dress up any outfit and add some much-needed pizazz to a plainer look. We find ourselves carrying them all the time- even for work, it's nice to throw one in your tote so you can go to lunch without lugging around a heavy bag.
Here are some of our favorites!
This rainbow clutch just makes us happy! We love the fun colors- so cute for all your summer outfits!
Faux Tortoise is a classic! We would carry this Tory Burch clutch all the time!
We have drooled over this coral Michael Kors clutch every time we've gone to Nordies this season! We love the soft leather contrasted with the chain detailing!

Wicker Clutch, Fornash Designs, $70
This fun yellow clutch is so perfect for summer evenings! We love the silk flower appliques. It's like a corsage for your bag, minus that awkwardness that inevitably applies to all corsages.
And last but not least... These Balenciaga clutches really have gone from a trend to a classic. Ten years ago we might not have said so, but now we really think they have staying power!

Lady Crusaders edge Lady Elkers, 3-2
RIDGWAY - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders fought back from a 2-1 match deficit and a match point in the final set for a 3-2 (25-11, 23-25, 24-26, 25-14, 16-14) victory over Ridgway Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School. ECC won the first set but lost the next two to Ridgway, putting the Lady Elkers ahead entering the fourth set. The Lady Crusaders won the fourth set at 25-14 which set up the winner-take-all set. "It was a very, very competitive match," Ridgway coach Janet Redmond said. "They were ready to come and play. We were too, it just came down to the last point. The girls can't hang their heads. It's been a great season, it's not over with yet. Two losses is not too bad for a season. Every one of these girls should be proud of how they played. That's the way volleyball goes."The teams alternated the first eight points which left a 4-4 tie between the two teams. Elk County Catholic then scored four straight points to take an advantage as Jessie Ginther had a pair of kills and Taylor Schlimm pounded a kill for ECC. Ridgway would answer with three straight points of their own, aided by a block from Nicole Breier. The teams alternated the next four points to leave the score at 10-9, then Lexie Meholic added a kill for the Lady Crusaders. Katie Oknefski had a kill for the Lady Elkers and Meholic answered for ECC with another kill to push the lead to 12-10. Ridgway would add a point but Ginther would answer with another kill to put the Lady Crusaders two points from victory at 13-11. Breier added two straight kills as Ridgway had critical points off the serve of Kiersten Woodford. A net violation by Elk County Catholic put Ridgway at a 14-13 advantage and match point. But Anna VanErdeen added a kill from the front line to tie the set at 14. Schlimm put down another kill for the Lady Crusaders and VanErdeen served an ace to close out the victory for Elk County Catholic. "We came out playing really well the first game," Elk County Catholic coach Diane Gies said. "The second and third games, I can't say we played bad but we had too many unforced errors. The fourth and the fifth game, we were able to eliminate those unforced errors and we played much better. We were able to keep the momentum and we played much better."Gies said the team showed a great amount of resiliency throughout the match. "For as young as we are, we have three seniors on the team and at any given time, we have a freshman, or a couple sophomores or a couple juniors out there, it bodes well to the hard work they've done all year," Gies said. "I told them if we continue to work hard, good things are going to happen for us when we need it to at the end of the season. This was a big win for us."The Lady Crusaders came out strong to start the match and built an 8-1 lead. At 4-1, ECC libero Helen Danz served three straight aces and Meholic added a kill for the 7-point lead. Ridgway would score four straight points, as Breier added a pair of kills and Oknefski served an ace. The Lady Crusaders would go on a 5-1 run which included three points in a row at 8-5 from a Meholic kill and two Ginther kills. ECC would go on to take charge on the opening seat after the 13-6 lead as Ridgway would not draw any closer. Elk County Catholic closed the first set strong as a kill from Taylor DaCanal put ECC ahead 1-0 with a 25-11 opening win. Ridgway flipped the script in the second set, as the Lady Elkers were the team to start with an 8-1 lead. At 4-1, Ellie Woodford served well and had an ace at 7-1. Ridgway built the lead to 10-2 but the Lady Crusaders would bounce back and erased a 6-point deficit at 15-9 with a 6-0 run behind effective serving from Schlimm. At 15-all, the teams alternated points before Ridgway would score six in a row overall to seemingly be on its way to squaring the match at 22-16. Danz's serving for the Lady Crusaders helped for ECC again for five straight points to put the Ridgway down to just one at 22-21 and prompting a Ridgway timeout. An Oknefski block put the Ridgway lead to 23-21 and a ball hit out by the Lady Crusaders had Ridgway up 24-21. Ginther poured in two kills for Elk County Catholic but a Breier slammed the door on the set and tied the match at one with a 25-23 victory. "We caught on to how they were blocking, they were triple-blocking us," Redmond said. "We caught on to that. We started dinking them in the middle and placing balls. It came down to the wire and somebody has to win and somebody has to lose. It's too bad because both teams played tremendously well. We didn't have that many missed serves in five games, only eight serves."Oknefski and Breier each had 15 kills. Thorwart had three kills and Sarah McClain had two. Redmond said her defense had a strong game and she credited Ellie Woodford for good tips to the corner in the front line. "We had many, many saves that were tremendous," Redmond said. "They just fought tooth and nail. They're beaten up, they really played their hearts out. I couldn't be more proud of these girls. That's all you can ask as a coach."Senior Erica Thorwart served five straight points to open the third set as Ridgway had an overall 7-1 lead. The Lady Elkers continued to have a strong lead for most of the set and had a 9-point edge at 16-7. Ridgway still led by seven points, 23-16, but the Lady Crusaders would score four straight to give themselves a chance at 23-20. An Oknefski kill put Ridgway up 24-20 and on the cusp of a 2-1 lead but a kill from Meholic kept the set alive. Elk County Catholic rallied to 24-23, then tied the set at 24 on a tip kill from Meholic. A net violation on ECC put Ridgway back up by one at 25-24 and Ridgway was able to close the set with another point to take a 2-1 lead at 26-24. Fast starts were a key throughout the match and the Lady Crusaders had one in the fourth set, scoring 11 of the first 14 points. Ridgway rallied to cut the margin to 12-9. The Lady Elkers were as close as two at 14-12 before ECC closed the set with 11 of the last 13 points. The set was closed on an ace from Danz to tie the match at 25-14 and set up the final set. Gies credited the setting for being able to make the comeback. "Our setter did a nice job of mixing up the offense," Gies said. "That tired their defense out. Their front line was tired in the fourth and fifth game and we utilized that tiredness to go outside. Our setter did a nice job of mixing up to keep them off-balance."Gies said this victory will be a confidence booster for the Lady Crusaders. "Ridgway is a quality program, Janet does a nice job down here," Gies said. "It's good to have this local competition and it's a friendly rivalry. We make each other better."Both teams have one more match left in the regular season and then look to the playoffs which begin next week. Redmond said this was a good experience of what a playoff atmosphere could be like. "This was a good trial test for us for playoffs," Redmond said. "We're going to come up against teams like this for playoffs down the road. This was our little training and they passed. It could have went either way, it just didn't fall our way."ECC is scheduled to host Johnsonburg on Thursday night while Ridgway is scheduled to play at Sheffield. Junior varsity action is slated to start at 6 p.m. with varsity to follow.Prior to the match, Ridgway honored its three seniors which are Emily Ames, Erica Thorwart and Nicole Breier. "The seniors, I wish them the best of luck," Redmond said. "When they graduate and go on off to college, I've always said high school is about memories. These girls made many memories this year and fantastic ones. I'm just grateful to be a part of it. It really touches my heart."

Raspberry Liver Paleo Chili Recipe
I've been making this chili forever now, and it's about high time I shared it with everyone. I like to tweak the recipe a little each time I make it, and this is the raspberry liver variation. And the best part is that everything just goes into the crockpot, and 8 hours later it's delicious! I like to make a large batch to eat for several days, but you can of course scale the recipe down (also make sure your crockpot can hold so much meat – I use this 6-quart one from Amazon).
Raspberry Liver Paleo Chili Recipe
I start by putting the cans of diced tomatoes (you can use fresh ones of course!) and the tomato paste into the crockpot.
Then I add in all the veggies (there's some diced Italian squash shown in this photo) and the raspberries.
Here's some diced orange peppers too.
Then add the liver, ground grassfed beef, and all the great spices in and mix well.
Cook in the crockpot on the low setting for 8 hours. The raspberry flavor isn't intense, but it does add a bit of subtlety, and the raspberries will have disappeared (the seeds are still there). The herbs and spices and the vegetables all add great flavors, which drown out the taste of liver quite a bit. So it's another great way of sneaking in highly nutritious liver without spoiling any enjoyment! Enjoy by itself or with some Paleo bread (super simple recipe here). Print out the entire recipe below and let me know what you think in the comments!
- 3 lb grassfed ground beef
- 1 lb ground liver
- 3 cans (14.5oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cans (6oz) tomato paste
- 1 lb raspberries
- 2 orange bell peppers, diced
- 2 chili peppers, deseeded and diced
- 2 Italian squash, diced,
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or use 2 tablespoons garlic powder)
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- Mix everything together well in your 6-quart crockpot. Scale down the recipe if you have a smaller crockpot.
- Cook on low setting for 8 hours (stir after 4 hours if you can).
- Add salt to taste.

February 3 2007, 8:18 AM
The front page of today's Denver Post has some sobering news on global warming: It's very real, and it's our fault.
The world's leading climate scientists said global warming has begun, is "very likely" caused by man, and will be unstoppable for centuries, according to a report obtained Friday by The Associated Press. The scientists - using their strongest language yet on the issue - said now that the world has begun to warm, hotter temperatures and rises in sea level "would continue for centuries," no matter how much humans control their pollution. The report also linked the warming to the recent increase in stronger hurricanes.Skeptics in Colorado will say, How can there be global warming when Colorado is so cold? I don't have an answer for that, although I think it has something to do with the ice caps melting and bringing cooler water to our shores (at least, that's what I remember from watching that crappy climate change movie "The Day After Tomorrow"). Anyway, two things jumped out at me after reading this story on global warming. The first is that the media seems to be paying more and more attention to the threat of global warming. I don't remember seeing this much coverage of the issue the way it has snowballed in recent months. The second thing that occurred to me is that former Vice President Al Gore could be well on his way to being our next President, if he decides to run. The more this issue heats up (sorry, but I couldn't resist), the better Gore will look for having been at the forefront of the discussion for years. His climate change documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," is up for an Academy Award this year, which is great timing should Gore decide that he wants to run for President again. Gore has been coy about running in 2008, but with so many candidates already in the race, he could emerge as a nice alternative after everyone else has been beaten up in the press 10 months from now.

Today I will speak on the subject of antinomianism. Antinomianism comes from
two Greek words: anti means against and nomos means law.
So antinomianism means against the law, against God's moral law. It means
You know, Americans are a people who are interested in making life easier, and
so we devise technologies that assist us in our pursuit of happiness and our
pursuit of easy living. Americans like anything that is made easy. Dieting made
easy means you can eat all you want and be slim. Exercise made easy means you
can discipline your body while sleeping. Without sweating you can accomplish
the benefits of physical exercise. So also we have salvation made easy, and
Americans enjoy this salvation made easy. In other words, you can go to heaven
while sinning. You can have your cake and eat it too. So churches are being
packed with people who love this salvation made easy, and that is our subject
today. Antinomianism, lawlessness is salvation made easy. The sales pitch is
this, that you lose nothing while you are on your way to heaven. You can be
lawless and go to heaven.
Now you may have heard of legalism. Legalism is the opposite of antinomianism.
Legalism says that salvation is based on human good works apart from faith and
apart from grace. Jesus condemned this view of the Pharisees. Paul condemned
this view of the Judaizers, especially in the books of Galatians and Romans.
But antinomianism says salvation is based on faith in God and therefore
obedience to God's law is not necessary at any stage in a Christian's life. So
these are two opposite ideas, legalism and antinomianism, which are totally
opposed to the teaching of the Bible.
Antinomianism is not new. Throughout history you find antinomians who
passionately violated the law of God. Some even worshiped the devil. Such
people were called by various names, like Cainites and Satanites. They
literally gloried in their sin. Martin Luther first used this expression,
antinomianism, to refer to the views of his friend, Johannes Agricola, in the
sixteenth century. Agricola taught that the moral law of God was in no way
binding upon those who are justified by faith alone. So Johannes Agricola said
Christians are entirely free from the moral law of God.
Of course, the New Testament anticipated this error, and dealt with it in
several places. The New Testament teaching is that a Christian is freed from
the law as a way of salvation, and in this sense a Christian is not under the
law. Certainly that is true. No man can keep the whole law in order to be
saved, because man is a sinner and so is incapable of keeping the law. However,
the moral law of God continues to be our guide to holy conduct. A Christian is
justified by grace through faith alone. He is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who
enables him now to obey the law of God. This keeping of the law of God by a
Christian is the evidence that he is justified and saved by grace through faith
alone in Jesus Christ.
Now there are several scriptures we should look at that deal with this error
called antinomianism, or lawlessness. Jude 4 says "For certain men whose
condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They
are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality
and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord." So you see that in the
New Testament itself this heresy was manifested.
James also deals with this heresy in James 2, beginning with verse 14:
"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no
deeds?" Notice the claim . Any man can claim, I am saved, I am
justified. You see that again in 1 John several times. People were making this
claim that they were saved, that they were Christians, that they were
justified. But James says, "Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or
a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I
wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical
needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have
deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what
I do. You believe that there is one God? Good! Even the demons believe that and
shudder." In other words, the faith of the antinomians, faith without good
works, is the faith of the demons.
Look at Galatians 5. In Galatians St. Paul argues for our Christian freedom,
and yet he makes this point in the thirteenth verse of Galatians 5: "You,
my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the
sinful nature." You see, people were saying, "We are free! We agree
with you, St. Paul, that we are not under law, we are under grace. We are
justified by grace through faith alone, and therefore we ought to have no
dealings with the moral law of God. The moral law of God is not our guide to
holy conduct. In fact, we probably must demonstrate that we are orthodox, that
we believe in salvation by grace through faith, by violating God's law. Then we
will truly pride ourselves on being people who are saved by grace through
In 1 Corinthians 5 you notice there was a man living an incestuous life. He was
living with his father's wife but the church was not dealing with this person
because the church was probably influenced by this heretical idea that if you
are saved by grace through faith alone, then it doesn't matter what you do with
your body. So we read, "It is actually reported that there is sexual
immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A
man has his father's wife." The church was not upset with that. The church
was not dealing with it. Why? Look at 1 Corinthians 6:12. There was a slogan
going about in the Corinthian church: "Everything is permissible for
me." I can do everything. I don't have to concern myself with keeping of
God's moral law. I am justified by grace through faith alone. Of course, St.
Paul condemned that nonsense.
Turn to 1 John 1. The apostle John referred to this antinomian heresy in verse
6: "If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we
lie, and do not live by the truth." These people were claiming that they
were saved by grace through faith alone, and that they were not under law
anymore. They were now free, and they could do anything they wanted with their
bodies - it didn't matter.
And in 1 John 3:7 John says, "Dear children, do not let anyone lead you
astray." Antinomianism is not the way of God. It is wandering away from
the straight path that God has revealed to us, which is the path of
righteousness. "He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is
righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has
been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to
destroy the devil's work." You see, there were teachers and leaders in New
Testament churches who were heretics. They taught this "salvation made
easy" idea, that you can go to heaven while sinning to your heart's
content as you live in this world.
1 John 2:18-19 says, "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you
have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.
This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did
not really belong to us." In other words, antinomians are antichrists.
These were antinomian leaders, antinomian teachers, and they were kicked out.
They were disciplined. They were sent out from the church of Jesus Christ in
order that the church be kept pure. Antinomianism is a heresy.
Peter says the same thing in 2 Peter. 2 Peter, like Jude, was written to combat
this heresy of antinomianism. In 2 Peter 2:19 we read: "They promise them
freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity - for a man is a slave
to whatever has mastered him." This was the essence of their teaching. No
wonder American churches, especially those of evangelical persuasion, are
filled with people. The preachers are telling them, "You can be a
Christian and sin." Everybody likes that, you see. There is pleasure in
sin. Everyone is interested in it.
You find this idea of antinomian teaching again in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 2:2 says: "I know your deeds, your hard work and your
perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested
those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false."
These were leaders who were going from church to church, teaching this
antinomian heresy, this nonsense of salvation made easy. Look at Revelation
2:14: "Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people
there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the
Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual
immorality." These teachers were teaching it was okay to sin to your
heart's content. You were still saved. Jesus Christ, the Lord of the church,
opposes that teaching.
In his book, Concise Theology , J. I. Packer distinguishes between
various types of antinomianism. First, he says, there is dualistic
antinomianism. What is dualistic antinomianism? It is based on the Greek idea
that man is body and man is spirit, but man's body, being matter, is evil.
Salvation is salvation of the soul. There is not going to be any resurrection
of the body, because the body is evil. Therefore it doesn't matter what you do
with your body and you may sin to your heart's content. Go ahead! You are saved
anyway. This idea is based on the dualistic thinking of the Greeks.
Secondly, Dr. Packer speaks about Spirit-centered antinomianism. It says,
"What matters is not what the Scripture tells me. I am a spiritual person,
filled with the Holy Spirit. I am above the law of the Scripture. I am led by
the Spirit, and the Spirit overrules the Scripture. The Spirit can even
contradict the Scripture. I am a spiritual Christian, and I am led by the
Spirit. I do what the Spirit tells me, and I don't worry about the Holy
Scriptures." That is the idea. Probably this is what the man in 1
Corinthians 5 said, because the Corinthian church took pride in being
charismatic, and some charismatic Christians go astray in this fashion. The
Holy Spirit is the author of the Holy Scriptures, and the Spirit leads us into
truth. The Holy Spirit will never contradict the Scripture. In fact, he enables
us to understand and obey the Scripture. So true spirituality leads us to obey
the law of God, not defy it.
Thirdly, there is liberal antinomianism. Liberals are people who reject the
Scriptures as God's word. They have subscribed to the relativism of the secular
world, saying that there are no absolutes and that there is no God. Thus, they
say, there is no absolute law of God. So they deny the Scripture and live as
they please. That is liberal antinomianism.
Fourthly, there is situational antinomianism. Situational antinomianism says
that what you need is the inner motive and intention of love. As long as you
intend to love, you may disregard the law of God. It says, "Yes, I love my
neighbor's wife, so I can disregard the commands that say, 'Thou shalt not
commit adultery' and 'Thou shalt not lust.' I can have an affair, and there is
no question about it." Well, this type of idea misrepresents what love
according to the Scripture is. It is pure nonsense. True love fulfills God's
law by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Fifthly, there is so-called Christ-centered antinomianism. The idea is that a
believer is united with Christ, he is in Christ, and his life is hid with
Christ in God. God sees Christ, who kept the law perfectly, and God sees no sin
in the believer because God sees him through Jesus Christ. So the believer is
therefore able to violate God's law. It makes no difference to God. But that is
all pure nonsense, isn't it?
Sixthly, there is a modern type of antinomianism which I call "Jesus is
Savior" antinomianism. People say that in order to be saved, you must
receive Jesus as your Savior, but you do not have to receive him as Lord. So,
as a "saved" Christian, you need not obey the Lord Jesus Christ. Your
salvation is secure as long as you once upon a time received Jesus Christ as
Savior by faith. No! That's not what the Bible says. "If you confess with
your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9) If you are truly repenting
before God, you say, "I am sorry that I disobeyed you, and I now submit
myself to your Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Lord of all." But this type
of "Jesus as Savior" nonsense is extremely appealing to Americans,
and many, many churches are packed with people who believe this nonsense. They
would say this: Keeping the moral law is at no stage necessary for a Christian.
Let me tell you, all forms of antinomianism are condemned by the Scriptures and
condemned by God. Turn to 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11. What is God saying to people
who practice antinomianism? "Do you not know that the wicked will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral
nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor
thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit
the kingdom of God." That's what the Bible says. Let's turn to Revelation
21: 8. What does it say? "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the
murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters
and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This
is the second death."
The Bible condemns it. The apostles condemn it. Jesus Christ condemns it.
Antinomianism is a heresy that must be rejected. We are saved by grace through
faith alone and we are saved and indwelt by the Holy Spirit in order that we
may keep God's moral law. And keeping the moral law is the sure evidence that a
Christian is justified by grace through faith alone. May God help us not to
believe in antinomianism, but to believe in the true doctrine of the Holy
Scriptures. Amen.

WASHINGTON – No. 10 CUA suffered its first loss of 2013 on Saturday, falling to No. 2 Salisbury 18-7 inside Cardinal Stadium. The teams were tied at three with 18:38 to play in the 1st half, before the Sea Gulls went on a 7-0 run to grab a 10-3 lead at halftime. With the loss, the Cards fall to 1-1, while Salisbury improves to 2-0.
CUA's Nicole Laitner put the Cardinals on top first with a goal less than 90 seconds into the contest.
Lauren Feusahrens quickly answered for the Sea Gulls to tie things at one, but Laitner came right back and scored her second goal to give the lead back to CUA.
The back-and-forth continued with Feusahrens finding the back of the net again to tie the score at two.
The Sea Gulls then grabbed their first lead of the afternoon thanks to Katie Bollhorst's goal at the 22:03 mark, but Theresa Ciletti had an answer for the Cardinals, and the game was tied for a third time.
Bethany Baer and Bollhorst both scored back-to-back goals for Salisbury to make it 7-3 in favor of the visitors with 3:02 to play before halftime.
The Sea Gulls added three more scores to grab a 10-3 lead at intermission.
Salisbury picked right up where it left off following halftime, scoring the first three goals to go in front by 10 with 26:33 remaining.
Caroline DiBartolomeo put an end to the Sea Gulls run with a goal at the 24:57 mark to bring CUA within nine, but two more goals by the visitors made it an 11-goal spread.
CUA then scored two straight, with Laitner netting an unassisted goal and DiBartolomeo following with a free position shot to make it 15-6 with 14:47 on the clock.
DiBartolomeo closed the scoring for the day with her third goal with 3:48 remaining.
Salisbury finished with a 32-14 advantage in shots and 29-18 in ground balls. Four Cardinals won three draw controls apiece, while Megan Gormley and DiBartolomeo scooped up four ground balls.
CUA is now off until Wednesday, March 13 when the Cardinals head to Pennsylvania to face York. Start time is set for 4 p.m.

In Treatment is exhilarating.
Chicago Sun-Times Full ReviewIts capacity to maintain an unyielding grip on your attention becomes similarly evident fast, as does one's strong sense that that grip isn't going to weaken anytime soon.
Wall Street Journal Full ReviewGabriel Byrne plays the part flawlessly, and he's up against tow especially rewarding talents. [1 Nov 2010, p.42]
People Weekly Full ReviewIn Treatment feels neither soapy nor formulaic, because of the intensity with which it's presented.
New York Daily News Full ReviewIt all makes for lots of great soapy intrigue, and Byrne makes you believe he can solve everyone's problems. Except his own.
Entertainment Weekly Full ReviewIf you've been wondering about the art of series-TV writing, and how potent and resonant it truly can be, you need look no further than HBO's extraordinary new In Treatment.
Boston Globe Full ReviewThe performances of the players are so uniformly terrific that you could do worse than to bring these deeply flawed characters into your living room on a regular basis, as this is a series for which TiVo was invented if ever there was one.
The Hollywood Reporter Full ReviewCleverly conceived, it boasts a star-studded cast (Gabriel Byrne, Dianne Wiest, Blair Underwood) who achieve, at times, theatrical transcendence.
Los Angeles Times Full ReviewIt's an engaging series that's definitely worth at least a trial spin.
San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times Full ReviewLike a series of one-act two-handers--stage plays where just a pair of actors face off--this sneaky little gem steadily strips away its therapy patients' emotional defenses and excuses, exposing the raw fears and paralyzing reactions beneath.
Newsday Full ReviewIf you like shrink-oriented, smartly written TV, In Treatment (Monday-Friday, 8:30 p.m., HBO) just might get you through the next few weeks with your sanity intact.
Chicago Tribune Full ReviewYou get out what you put into it--even in the episodes that are weaker, I was rarely bored--and it's a consistent scripted oasis in a sea of shows where people take lie detector tests on camera.
Newark Star-Ledger Full ReviewThis show is smart and rigorous, with a concentration that bores deep without growing dull.
The New York Times Full ReviewIt isn't high literature nor even perhaps high television, but In Treatment does have a welcome, and occasionally riveting, pulpy streak, perhaps inevitable with its promise of peeks behind doors that usually remain closed.
Washington Post Full ReviewSome half-hour segments work spectacularly well and some don't. Like real life, I guess. But even the ones that don't work so well are very interesting.
New York Post Full ReviewOddly enough, as much as I like In Treatment and its theatrically deft interplays, it doesn't get off to a great start with its Monday patient.
L.A. Weekly Full ReviewThe first episode of this show will probably make you roll your eyes and beg the gods for mercy. Don't give up, though, because In Treatment is sharp and unique and worth the effort.
Salon Full ReviewThough I took a strong dislike to tonight's patient, Laura--and was more than casually interested in no one but Wednesday's patient, Sophie--I've somehow made it through 23 episodes so far, and found something in each that advances the storyline.
Philadelphia Daily News Full ReviewThe writing is uniformly strong and Byrne excellent not only at reading Paul's dialogue but conveying what he's withholding--his true feelings about his patients, his inner turmoil over his disintegrating home life. But the storylines vary wildly from riveting to tedious.
Time Full ReviewIn Treatment is fascinating TV, but it's not a pleasant experience. Watching these therapy sessions is akin to eating your TV broccoli.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full ReviewIn Treatment's intensity does build as the weeks progress, but it's never completely absorbing, and you wonder how many viewers will commit to such a demanding regimen even with multiple plays to catch up on missed half-hours.
Variety Full ReviewEven at its sporadic best, In Treatment comes across as no more than an actor's exercise, one likely to be best remembered for providing future acting students with a large supply of two-character scenes for class projects.
USA Today Full ReviewThe gimmick's in the scheduling of this tediously claustrophobic though sometimes searing half-hour drama, set almost entirely in a psychotherapist's office.
TV Guide Magazine Full ReviewIn Treatment, while offering viewers a seemingly intimate look at this process, doesn't capture the emotional mise en scène: the characters on the show have all too easy a time expressing themselves, and the element of suspense is mostly absent.
The New Yorker Full ReviewPaul Weston's (Byrne) nonadventures straddle the realms of the scarcely credible and the incredibly boring.
Slate Full ReviewThe writing is forced and thin, some of the acting stagey, most of the characters unlikable and - the show-killer quality that HBO execs apparently failed to see--profoundly boring.

WASHINGTON - The pilots of news helicopters that collided and crashed over Phoenix 18 months ago were trying to do too much at once - fly, report and monitor multiple radio channels - federal officials said Wednesday morning.
The National Transportation Safety Board was hashing through a draft version of its final report on the crash, which killed all four people aboard the two helicopters. Board members appeared poised to issue recommendations regarding the common practice of helicopter pilots reporting while flying.
"If you're flying, you're flying," said Steven Chealander, a board member and former fighter pilot. "The FAA should be looking at this."
The report will be scrutinized by the Federal Aviation Administration and other agencies with input on aviation policy, as well as the aviation industry.
Both pilots killed in the crash were reporting up until they collided.
In the Phoenix market, officials said not all stations have changed their policies on reporter/pilots since the crash.
"I would have expected 100 percent change in Phoenix," said board member Debbie Hersman.
The five-member NTSB board will vote on a draft version of the report today at its office in Washington after hearing analysis from its staff investigators and technical experts.
The final report is likely to be released several weeks after the meeting, but the board will immediately release a brief summary of its findings.
The findings will be the most conclusive explanation yet for what happened in a collision that horrified the Valley as it unfolded on live TV.
On the afternoon of July 27, 2007, a clear, warm day, helicopters from Channel 15 (KNXV) and Channel 3 (KTVK) were following police on the ground as they chased a fleeing suspect. At 12:47 p.m. the sound of metal hitting metal was heard over the air on Channel 15 and the live signal from the helicopter went static.
Both helicopters fell and burst into flames at the park near Central Avenue and Indian School Road.
Killed were pilot Craig Smith and camera operator Rick Krolak from Channel 15 and pilot Scott Bowerbank and camera operator Jim Cox from Channel 3.

Multitalented artist Winnie Khumalo hopes her health will improve when she goes under the knife in J.
A new storm moved into the area on Monday, an NGO said.
"The plastic sheeting we provided to affected residents to seal their roofs has been blown away," said Al-Imdaad Foundation project co-ordinator Abed Karrim.
"The houses are being flooded. People are in a state of shock at the damage the storm is causing."
The storm tore through Ladysmith and surrounding areas such as Acaciavale, Ntombi's Camp and Steadville on Sunday night.
"This was followed by a heavy downpour, which in turn damaged people's belongings," said Karrim.
The foundation was distributing blankets and mattresses, and providing hot meals to the affected.
Earlier, co-operative governance MEC Nomusa Dube said KwaZulu-Natal would need millions of rands to help those hit by hail storms in some parts of the province.
She led a disaster management team who provided assistance to those left homeless on Monday.
Dube told residents disaster management was monitoring the weather, saying the province was on full alert and ready to act.
"This was indeed an intense storm judging by the severity of damages.
"We need everyone in the spirit of ubuntu to make a contribution...it is time for humanity to unite."


text: China's First Lady Wears a Black Trench Coat, Everyone Goes Nuts for Black Trench CoatsMadeleine Davies3/25/13 1:50pmFiled to: FashionChinaPeng liyuanexceptionAppictweet44EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkFollowing in the footsteps of tastemakers Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton, Peng Liyuan, wife to the Chinese president Xi Jinping, has sparked a fashion craze after stepping off of a plane while wearing a black trench coat and carrying a black leather purse. While the outfit may seem rather simple and conservative by most Western standards, it's considered very fashion forward in China, where spouses of politicians tend to avoid the spotlight and dress as plainly as possible.AdvertisementBoth the coat and purse were identified as being from the Chinese design-label Exception. Since the First Lady's appearance, the retailer's website has been so overrun with orders that it has been continually crashing.So far, the company has made no comment about Peng Liyuan or their sudden surge in popularity, but Hong Huang, the publisher for the fashion magazine iLook, had this to say:Advertisement"First ladies are ambassadors of the culture and the design and of the soft power of a country. I'm glad that she chose to wear Chinese and take up that role of spokesperson for Chinese design here."Many are speculating what Peng Liyuan fashion splash will mean for the country's political spouses. While some of the more conservative members of the Communist party frown about the First Lady's materialism and quiet endorsement of consumerism, others celebrate the idea of her stepping into the spotlight.Editor of China's Vogue Zhang Yu tells the New York Times, "It's the first time that China's first lady appears like a modern woman. I think she dressed very well, with taste and confidence. After so many years, we finally have a first lady who can represent us so appropriately. I think it is a landmark event."SponsoredChina's First Lady Sparks Frenzy Over Local Label [NYT]Reply44 repliesLeave a reply

I don't know if any of you readers out there know this, but last week Kanye West besmirched the good name of the MTV VMA's by declaring his love for a Beyonce video and making Taylor Swift cry. Apparently one millionaire star insulting another millionaire star is so noteworthy we have two (!) U.S. presidents on record as saying it was a dumb move on Kanye's part and the usual internet memes and assorted merchandise that come with this sort of "event".
A lot of people think Kanye West is a douche bag and it's probably true. But a lot of people forget long before his award show temper tantrums, Kanye was just a humble producer contributing beats to some of the best hip-hop albums of the decade. He got his big mainstream break producing the majority of Jay-Z's Blueprint, then went on produce Common's classic Be along with tracks from Mos Def, Nas and Talib Kweli.
I've selected some of my personal favorite Kanye West productions, in hopes we can all move on in our lives and remember a more happy, innocent fake video-award show time.
Mos Def- Sunshine
Jay-Z – Heart of the City
Common- The Food
Common- They Say

AxCrypt (32-bit version)
Generic Company Place Holder AxCrypt (32-bit version)
Note: This review addresses v188.8.131.52 of the software.
AxCrypt offers a simple, free way to encrypt individual files. Right-click a file, a few files, or a folder, select an option from the AxCrypt submenu, enter a password (you can save a default), and the file becomes inaccessible to those not in the know.
You can simply encrypt the files, turning each one into an AxCrypt-associated .axx file, encrypt a copy to an .axx file, or encrypt a copy to a self-executing .exe file--handy if you're sending it to someone who doesn't have AxCrypt. Actually, that feature'snot as handy as you might think. Many e-mail systems won't allow you to mail or receive .exe file attachments, making it tricky to send to others.
You can also use AxCrypt to shred a file, overwriting it with random data so it cannot be retrieved. But it's a simple shredder, without using the more complex secure delete algorithms found in programs like Eraser.
Speaking of algorithms, AxCrypt uses 128-bit AES encryption, and doesn't include an option for the presumably more secure AES-256. But according to a report by security expert Bruce Schneier, AES-128 is actually more secure than AES-256, although neither are really breakable in any practical sense--at least if you have a strong password.
AxCrypt provides something for people who don't bother to create a strong password. You can let the program create a Key-File, is a plain text file containing a very long and random string of characters. You therefore don't have to remember the password; you just have to avoid losing the Key-File--and take care not to let the wrong person get their hands on it.
Note: This program is donationware. It is free to try, but the author accepts and encourages donations towards further development.

Walt Disney Co. reported a massive jump in net income for its fiscal second quarter, lifted by the performance of its media networks, movie studio and theme parks.
The Burbank company posted net income of $1.51 billion for the quarter that ended March 30, up 32% from a year earlier. Revenue rose 10% to $10.55 billion.
Disney, the world's largest entertainment and media company, posted adjusted earnings per share of 79 cents, up from 58 cents a year earlier. The company beat the expectations of analysts who predicted earnings per share of 77 cents.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
"With adjusted earnings per share up 36% over last year, we're obviously pleased with our second quarter," Robert A. Iger, chairman and chief executive of Disney, said in a statement. "Our results reflect our successful strategy, the strength of our brands and the value of our high-quality creative content, all of which continue to drive long-term growth and shareholder value."
Shares of Disney rose $1.01 on Tuesday to $66.07, not far from an all-time high of $66.09 set earlier in the day. The stock rose to $66.27 in after-hours trading.
Disney's Media Networks Group, which includes ABC and ESPN, posted an operating income of $1.86 billion, up 8%. Revenue rose 6% to $4.96 billion. Although its broadcast division saw operating income fall 40% to $138 million -- due in part to higher prime-time programming costs -- the operating income of the company's cable networks was up 15% to $1.72 billion. Disney partly attributed the gain in the cable business to increased affiliate revenue for ESPN.
The company's movie studio had a strong quarter, posting operating income of $118 million. The studio said that it performed well in part due to the release of "Oz The Great and Powerful," which has grossed $228.9 million domestically and $256.2 million abroad. A year earlier, the film studio posted an operating loss of $84 million -- the result of a $200 million write-down on the sci-fi movie "John Carter." The film had a global gross of $282.8 million, but was estimated to have a production budget of $250 million.
Disney's parks and resorts posted operating income of $383 million -- a gain of 73% from a year earlier. Disney said the strong performance was largely due to an increase in business at its domestic properties.
Disney's interactive division posted an operating loss of $54 million, a slight improvement from the same quarter a year earlier, when it lost $70 million. Revenue was up 8% to $194 million.
REVIEW: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' a rough slog on the yellow brick road
On Monday, Disney announced that it had struck a deal with video game developer Electronic Arts Inc. that will see that company make and publish new "Star Wars" games.
Under the exclusive, multi-year agreement, Electronic Arts will develop titles for "all interactive platforms and the most popular game genres" related to "Star Wars." Disney retains certain rights to develop games for mobile, social, tablet and online platforms, the companies said.
It wasn't the only bit of postive pre-earnings news for the company. "Iron Man 3," from Disney's Marvel Studios, grossed $174.1 million domestically in its first weekend of release. The film's opening run trailed only that of Disney and Marvel Studios' "The Avengers," which was released last summer and took in $207.4 million over its debut weekend. As of Monday, "Iron Man 3" had already grossed $504.8 million abroad.
The success of the film should buoy the company moving forward, said Disney analyst Harold Vogel, president of Vogel Capital Management, in an interview before the earnings release.
"Earnings should have an all-around positive feel to it, especially given 'Iron Man 3,'" he said. "I am sure they will play that up and say they have a great quarter coming."

Bookkeeping: Limit Buy Order for Wyndam Worldwide (WYN) Finally Hits
Talk about relative strength; all through these past few weeks of selling Wyndham Worldwide (WYN) refused to either revisit its 50 day moving average nor fill a gap a sliver below that moving average. It took a selloff of yesterday's magnitude to simply push it back down to the moving average - but as I stated in another post - my limit order did not hit since I was waiting for the gap to fill. The gap was finally filled today, and my limit purchase order around $20.60 executed. This replaces the stock we sold on January 21st at $22.60. That was like pulling teeth.
Since the market is so iffy I am going to keep a tight leash, and place a stop loss at $19.75 which is below the intraday low of mid December 2009. In a sideways or upward trending market I'd give it more leeway. If you are a believer in relative strength like I am, this performance should bode well when the market regains its feet. This is the last stock in our portfolio to resist falling below the 50 day moving average.
And with that we are back to 1 material long position ;)
Long Wyndham Worldwide in fund; no personal position

Harpagophytum procumbens, commonly known as the Devil's claw, is a perennial South African plant whose roots have long been known for their medicinal properties. In an extensive review published in October 2012 (1), a team of South African researchers looked at the available evidence regarding the biological effects of this plant. The ability to alleviate joint pain is the effect most associated with Harpagophytum procumbens.
Osteoarthritis is an extremely common chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in the joints, which reduces the 'cushion' effect of cartilage between the two bones of a joint. This leads to reduced joint mobility and - perhaps even more invalidating - joint pain.
Unfortunately, conventional medicine offers very limited help for osteoarthritis. There is no known cure, and the only possible treatment involves managing pain with painkillers such as acetaminophen and NSAIDs. There are, however, four complementary and alternative medicine treatments which are often recommended to help manage osteoarthritic pain: acupuncture, glucosamine/chondroitin, fish oil, and of course, the Devil's claw (2).
More than 30 clinical trials have tested the validity of Harpagophytum procumbens as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic botanical, especially for relieving arthritic symptoms. Devil's claw supplementation has been consistently shown to be safe and effective for managing pain in patients suffering from knee or hip osteoarthritis and non specific low back pain (3).
It has been tested in double-blind trials, against placebos but also against conventional medications such as rofecoxib. Harpagophytum has been shown to work better than a placebo (4), and substantially equivalent to other medications, but with less side effects (5). After a few weeks of daily Devil's claw supplementation, most patients were able to reduce or stop concomitant use of NSAIDs (5).
But how does the Devil's claw do it? Since the progression of osteoarthritis is mostly sustained by inflammation, the well-known anti-inflammatory effect of Harpagophytum is likely the key to its effectiveness, resulting both in pain reduction and in improved joint function. But what is responsible for this effect? The active components are believed to be its iridoid glycosides, and in particular the monoterpene harpagoside. Indeed, harpagoside is associated to a strong anti-inflammatory activity via NF-kB (nuclear factor kappa b) inhibition (6). As recently reviewed, however, harpagoside alone doesn't explain the whole story. Harpagophytum also contains unique triterpenoids, phytosterols, aromatic acids and sugars. Yet none of them, taken alone, account for the whole effect of the botanical.
Like the authors of the review concluded, "when the constituents deemed to be the biologically active compounds [are] isolated, the efficacy [is] lower than that of the whole extract" (1). If anything, this shows once more that botanicals, just like food, are more than just the sum of their components, and certainly much more than a single 'active' compound, much to the frustration of food pharmacologists.
In conclusion, it looks like the 'claw of the Devil' is indeed able to kill the pain, though it takes some time to do it (at least a few weeks). But how it does that, we still don't know for sure. What else did you expect? It can't be so easy to figure out the Devil's tricks.

a treatment worth considering- thanks
Pain is your organic protection against sickness and injury. It provides as the indication that something is wrong in one's human body. Pain associated with osteoarthritis include serious pain from swelling of the joint parts, serious pain from broken joint parts, and angry pain due to serious suffering from combined problems. In the human body, one or more joint parts can be affected by pain and contrary to the typical misconception, pain can impact a individual of any age group. In fact, combined problems are affecting many adolescents these days and the causes of human body pain are different.
According to Joint Health Magazine, adverse responses of Joint Juice products are often light but may consist of feeling sick, diarrhoea, symptoms of heartburn and bowel problems. Other less typical adverse responses consist of sleepiness, complications and skin responses. Expecting and nursing women should not take Joint Juice products until further analysis shows this therapy to be safe while or nursing. Plus may generate bronchial asthma attack, but there is not enough analysis to confirm it. People with bronchial asthma are informed to avoid Joint Juice products until further analysis is performed.
As time changes routine habits of an individual change, every one is busy on doing their task and most of the people are not involve in physical activity, & the main cause of joint paint is only lack of exercise & unhealthy habits. Daily exercise and loads of physical can be helpful for joint pain relief treatment.
I'm a relatively healthy 55 year old Man...and have been a waitress ALL my life. I was recently told by an orthopedic surgeon that I have fairly Osteo arthritis in both knees. In the left, I can't sit and can walk only with pretty severe pain, not to mention TONS of clicking and popping. No way can I straighten or stand on the right knee. He said, "there's nothing we can do for it, no surgery would help you, it's progressive." I have tried the instaflex joint support supplements; they did work for me. No blends!!!! This is already a big plus when I signed up for this trial I figured they would have a clever new blend name like joint juice blend or fountain of youth mobility complex. Well they didn't and I was kind of disappointed since I would have loved to poke fun at it, all seriousness this product contains a lists of well sought after and scientifically proven compounds. The main compound is Glucosamine sulfate at 1500 mgs per serving it also contains a pretty good list of others like MSM and Hyaluronic acid which has made a huge splash with its studies and claims. By placing all these compounds into one super capsule you do have a pretty good joint supplement.
I am very much pleased with the contents you have mentioned. I wanted to thank you for this great article. I enjoyed every little bit part of it and I will be waiting for the new updates.

Judge rules Valdosta State student handbook a binding contract; university appeals
GEORGIA — A former Georgia college student's lawsuit against the administrator who expelled him without a hearing can continue following a state court decision last week that student handbooks can represent contracts between students and their schools.
The Fulton County Superior Court on July 24 rejected the university's request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Thomas Barnes against the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
Barnes was attending Valdosta State University when he was "administratively withdrawn" by then-President Ronald M. Zaccari in 2007. Barnes was not given a hearing or allowed to contest the expulsion.
In his free speech and due process lawsuit, Barnes argues the university failed to follow the disciplinary procedures outlined in Valdosta State's student handbooks, thus breaching the contract he agreed to when he enrolled at the school.
In seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, the university argued that the handbooks did not constitute a written contract between the school and Barnes. Judge Kimberly M. Esmond Adams rejected that argument, a decision that will allow the case to proceed before the trial court.
"We're obviously pleased with the ruling," said Bob Corn-Revere, one of the lawyers representing Barnes. "It echoes what the federal court had already said—the university policies in the student handbook represented a contract."
The university has filed an interlocutory appeal, meaning an appeal before a case reaches its full conclusion. Because the case is still pending, the Georgia State Court of Appeals can choose whether to hear the appeal.
A university spokeswoman declined comment.
The latest ruling comes after years of legal battle between Barnes and the school.
Leading up to his expulsion in May 2007, Barnes led a campaign against a planned parking garage construction project he feared would have a negative environmental impact. Barnes distributed flyers on campus, emailed campus officials voicing his concerns and submitted a letter to the editor to the student newspaper, The Spectator.
Zaccari, a proponent of the parking garage, met and emailed with Barnes several times prior to the expulsion. Zaccari also monitored Barnes' Facebook page, and was particularly concerned with a collage Barnes compiled that read "S.A.V.E. – Zaccari Memorial Parking Garage" and included a portrait of the president.
Describing Barnes' behavior as "threatening," Zaccari met five times with other administrators to discuss removing Barnes from campus. Zaccari claims he was motivated by the Virginia Tech shootings of April 2007 in which a gunman killed 33 students. Barnes was seeing counselors for anxiety and agoraphobia at the time.
Zaccari decided to expel Barnes under a University System of Georgia policy that allows individuals to be dismissed if the individual "clearly obstructs or disrupts" campus activities. A letter informing Barnes of his expulsion was slipped under his dorm room door May 7 by campus police officers.
Barnes filed a federal lawsuit against Zaccari and other administrators in January 2008, arguing that the expulsion violated his due process rights by denying him a hearing to contest the dismissal. Barnes' lawsuit also accused school officials of breach of contract and conspiring to violate his First Amendment rights.
The trial court judge sided with the university on the free speech issue, finding no conspiracy to violate Barnes' rights and instead ruling that Zaccari acted alone.
On the breach of contract and due process issues, the court sided with Barnes.
On appeal, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the breach of contract finding, but upheld the rest of the trial court's decision. On the contract claim, the court ruled that the 11th Amendment precluded Barnes from suing the Board of Regents in federal court.
Faced with the appeals court's ruling, Barnes filed suit again, this time in Georgia state court. It is this lawsuit that the university sought to dismiss.
The case has implications for student journalists, Student Press Law Center Attorney Advocate Adam Goldstein said.
"The First Amendment still remains the baseline, but the handbook can create promises higher than that," Goldstein said. "Especially where due process is involved, the ability to enforce those promises can really be a powerful tool to defend student rights."
This is the first Georgia court ruling on student handbooks at public universities, although the state's Court of Appeals has held that handbooks constitute contracts in cases involving private universities.
