The Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard, Kobe Bryant, and his wife Vanessa Bryant are officially not getting a divorce, according to The Huffington Post. Both Kobe and Vanessa announced their decision to call off their divorce via social media. Though Vanessa filed for divorce back in December 2011, she has always been loyal to her husband after he was charged with sexual assault in Colorado in 2003. Two months after she filed for divorce, both she and Kobe were ready to reconcile. It wasn't until last Friday that Vanessa posted on Instagram that "[their] divorce action will be dismissed. [They] are looking forward to [their] future together." [Read more…]

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Will Stay Married
Bethenny Frankel's Marriage Ends
The "Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel officially filed for divorce from her husband of 3 years, Jason Hoppy. Included in her divorce papers are documents requesting the following: 1) child support retroactive from the date she filed for divorce, 2) medical, dental, optical, therapeautic, orthodontic expenses for herself and 3 year old daughter, Bryn, 3) life insurance that makes both her and Bryn the beneficiaries, 4) Hoppy to move out of their $5 million dollar marital residence permanently, and 5) Bethenny to have exclusive occupancy of the couple's apartment. Under her circumstances, it seems ridiculous to ask for so much when she is reportedly worth between $25 million and $55 million with a $100 million fortune from her "Skinny Girl" cocktail brand and Jason Hoppy only has a net worth of $5 million. In the end, it is the judge that will decide whether Frankel's requests are granted. [Read more…]
Kim, Kris, Kanye and… a Baby!
Kim Kardashian's beau, Kayne West, announced that the couple is expecting their first child in this new year. But how does that affect the divorce process between Kardashian and current husband, Kris Humphries? Without being divorced, Kardashian is considered to have committed adultery. Lucky for her, California forgives adultery and does not see it has a relevant role in the divorce process. That is to say, if Kardashian and Humphries were to actually get a divorce. The reason for Kardashian and Humphries still being married is due to the fact that Kardashian will not agree to the annulment of the marriage that Humphries has requested. The difference between a divorce and an annulment is this: divorce recognizes that a couple was married and ends that marriage whereas annulment completely voids the marriage, which legally sees the marriage as never happening.
Both annulment and divorce serve the same purpose to end a marriage. The preference between either one is purely religious and/or personal. With annulment, there are qualifications to present to the court in order for the marriage to be void. Legal reasons for an annulment in California include the following circumstances: incestuous, bigamous, prior existing marriage/domestic partnership, mental instability, fraud, force, and failure to consummate the marriage.
Humphries has decided to ask for an annulment to his marriage to Kim Kardashian because he is under the impression that the marriage is fraud. Also, by annulling a marriage, the prenuptial agreement is also void. That leaves Humphries with full freedom to discuss his marriage and divorce to Kim Kardashian as well as unbinds him from any other provisions of the prenuptial agreement that was drafted.
To top it all off, the legal father of Kim Kardashian and Kayne West's baby is none other than Kris Humphries himself. Parentage is established if the parents of a child were not married when the mother became pregnant or when the child was conceived. Even if a father can prove he is the biological father of a child, he does not have any legal rights or responsibilities for the child if he was never married to the mother. The law presumes a person is a child's parent, unless proven otherwise, if 1) he was married to the child's mother when the child was conceived/born, 2) he attempted to marry the mother and the child was born during the "marriage," 3) he married the mother after the birth and agreed to have his name on the birth certificate or to support the child, and 4) he welcomed the child into his home and openly acted as if the child was his own. This is considered "parentage by estoppels" and means that the court can find that a man is the legal father, even if he is not the biological father, if he has always treated the child as his own. In this case of Kardashian-West vs. Humphries, it is Humphries who is the legal father of Kardashian and West's baby.

A couple weeks ago I was in New York City for a work conference, and luckily I had a little time to play and do some shopping. I picked up these Cole Haan Nike Air Ballet Flats at Century 21. We love discount stores here at Style All Over, and Century 21 definitely doesn't disappoint.
I've been longing to own any pair of Cole Haan Nike Air shoes, but just could never bring myself to pay full price. So even though my feet were slightly swollen and tired from all the walking I'd done, I took a chance on these, and it worked out! These shoes are so comfortable (and cute!) that I'm already on the hunt for another pair. Not to mention I got them for almost 1/2 off the original price. I'm so happy with them that I'd probably pay full price, but the Cole Haan website has a couple pairs on sale that I think I'll check out first.

In a previous post on the nature of saving faith, I have expounded a bit on the element of cognitio which is basic to the concept of saving faith. In this post, I would continue with Witsius' second element of saving faith: Assentia, which has been alluded to already in the previous post.
XI. To this knowledge must be joined assent, which is the second act of faith, whereby a person receives and acknowledges as truths those things which he knows, receiving the testimony of God, and thus setting to his seal, that God is true, John iii. 33. This assent is principally founded on the infallible veracity of God, who testifies of himself and of his Son, 1 John v. 9, 10. On which testimony revealed in scripture, and shedding forth all around the rays of its divinity, the believers relies with no less safety than if he had been actually present at the revelation of these things. For when the soul, enlightened by the Spirit, discerns those divine truths, and in them a certain excellent theoprepy, or beauty worthy of God, and a most wise and inseparable connection of the whole, it cannot but assent to a truth that forces itself upon him with so many arguments, and as securely admit what it thus knows, for certain, as if it had seen it with its own eyes, or handled it with its own hands, or had been taken up into the third heavens, and heard it immediately from God's own mouth. Whatever the lust of the flesh may murmur, whatever vain sophists may quibble and object, though perhaps the soul may not be able to answer or solve all objections, yet it persists in the acknowledgment of this truth, which it saw too clearly, and heard too certainly, as it were from the mouth of God, ... . And this faith is accompanied with ύποστασις, substance, and βεγχος [sic] evidence, Heb. xi. 1. and πληροφορια, full persuasion or assurance, Rom. iv. 21. (III.7.11. Vol. 1, pp. 377-378. Emphases original)
Assent according to Witsius consists in "receiving the testimony of God, and thus setting to his seal, that God is true". Not only is there knowledge of what is true (cognitio), but such knowledge must be taken to be sealed in the person who knows that truth based upon the "infallible veracity of God", not mere human reasoning. In other words, saving "assent" does not function in the same manner as the "assent" which functions according to the framework of humanistic rationalism — that "assent" which only accepts whatever is true based upon what seems "rational" to fallible human presuppositions. Rather, saving "assent" functions out of the axiom of God and of His Word, and receives Christianity as true because that is its epistemic foundation. (ie. Christianity is not be argued for, but argued from).
This assentia manifests in new believers in an interesting way, which Witsius utilizing 2 Peter 1: 16, 18 speaks of: that believers "perhaps ... may not be able to answer or solve all objections, yet it persists in the acknowledgment of this truth, which it saw too clearly, and heard too certainly, as it were from the mouth of God". Just as cognitio does not require complete knowledge of God and the Faith, neither are they required for the aspect of assentia. Ironically therefore, assentia has the dubious honor of making new believers (and believers also) seemingly stupid and foolish in the eyes of the world. Barring the few Christians scholars and theologians and philosophers, who through Spirit-given wisdom silence the unregenerate and earn their hatred, most Christians will look like anti-intellectual fools in the eyes of the world. Nevertheless, as Scripture says, "For the foolishness of God is wiser than men", it is better to be foolish on God's side, than wise on Man's side.

Apologies for the lateness of this article… Yesterday was Moving Back To University day, you see, and due to my having spent most nights this week in the pub enjoying the sun, this involved doing all my packing (and believe me there was a lot of it), as well as the obligatory mass Tesco's trip, as well as the two hour drive back. Oh and then there was the obligatory Let's Celebrate Our Being Back Bar Trip. Anyway, all in all this left little time for Patching. However, dedicated as I am, an Amy Article will be completed, even if a Day Late. Why aren't you glad?Aah, see you are. You wouldn't have clicked there if you weren't! But enough of the frivolities, for unfortunately my article is another Rant. And once again we return to the system of "Justice" in our country.I had to give my first police statement yesterday. A turning point in my life. But it wasn't because of something I'd done, nor a hideous crime that I'd witness; no murders, nor insider knowledge about some Drug Scandal. No, instead it was about an incident of ABH that happened to my friend in Decemeber. An offence which was witnessed by two police officers. An incident to which the offender has already pleaded guilty.
So usually in such a situation, no such statements would be needed. The offender would be charged, rapped on the knuckles, and sent on their way. However, after speaking to a soliciter, the Offender has decided that he must have been drunk when he gave his statement, and thus this would have been why he pleaded guilty. Never mind that the police breathilise people in such situations. So now, four months later, his plea has been changed to 'not guilty', and the case is being held up for review by the Crown Court on Monday.
However, a case of ABH in which the lasting effects include a slight scarring under the victim's eye, and his hand being a sling for a few weeks does not really warrant the attention of the crown court. They deal in murders and rapes, not punches and blows. And if, on Monday, they decide that the case isn't big enough to hold up in the Crown, that could be it. Unless, somehow, the case can be pushed through the Magistrate's Court then someone who committed a completely unprovoked attack will walk away completely free. Let's not forget, this is despite the fact that two police officers witnessed the incident, as did another of our friend's, and the offender's previous plea of 'guilty.' Moreover, for the past week the police have been collecting all the witness statements they can in order to present a viable case to the court, all of which could prove to be time wasted.
I mean, what offender isn't going to try and push a case through the Crown Court, when it is likely to be thrown out, if given the opportunity? "No, no, take it to somewhere lower down, I don't mind being fined and given community service…" I don't think so. It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It certainly doesn't provide comfort; I'd like to think that justice would be served if I was to be violated in any shape or form. Apparently this is not the case.
And then we wonder why there's so much violence on our streets today.
(I'll update on the decision of the court when I hear it. For now, I remain bitter about the whole situation)
However, enough with the moaning. Now for the 'good' part of this entry: The Great Facebook Race
Now, I know what you're thinking- how can anything good come from a website that causes so much evil. But this group has managed it. Starting life as a race between girls and boys to see whose group could reach 50,000, and later 100,000 members first (the girls won both times, naturally), the creaters decided to come up with a bigger and better challenge. The new aim of these groups? See which team- girls or boys- can raise £10,000 for the charities 'Refuge' and 'Cancer Research UK' first. The minimum donation to either charity (as dictated by the website, as opposed to the group creaters) is £2, and you can give to the cause without even being a member of Facebook. So not only do you help to prove the superiority of your gender, but you're helping to save the world while doing so! Well, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but you will be doing a lot of good.
For those of you who haven't yet joined up, these are the links:
Girls' Facebook Group
Girls' Refuge Donation Page
Girls' Cancer Resarch Donation Page
Boys' Facebook Group
Boys' Cancer Resarch Donation Page
Happy giving!
Anyway, one final note, as I'd hate to disappoint my fans by suggesting there was something 'ugly' in this entry and then not delivering. So, courtesy of Google Images, here you go:
Lovely, isn't he…

A persistent puzzle when tracking the business news in Bermuda (FSI rank: 14) has been the number of mentions of reinsurance deals. The Bermuda Royal Gazette online even has a dedicated re-insurance page, which is updated almost daily. Why would Bermuda (population 64 thousand) hold 14% of the global reinsurance market, the same as Switzerland and more than London?
This New York Times article on hedge funds has at least part of the answer: tax.
"Until recently, many fund managers would defer a portion of their fees in a Cayman Islands corporation, which would act as the equivalent of a titanic tax-deferred retirement account."
However, after the US Congress closed the Cayman loophole "many top hedge fund managers have entered the business of reinsurance, using Bermuda-based reinsurance companies as a capital base for investment in their hedge funds."
"By stapling a small reinsurance business onto billions of dollars of hedge fund capital, any profits can be indefinitely deferred from tax offshore. Better yet, when the fund manager sells an interest in the Bermuda company, the gain may be taxed at the lower long-term capital gains rates."
The full article is here.
Bloomberg last year also covered the "little-known loophole". According to the Bloomberg report, the difference in after-tax gains for a US hedge fund manager when using a Bermuda reinsurance vehicle can be substantial: an extra USD 27 million after 5 years on an initial investment of USD 100 million.

In the 50s the Candian dollar was worth 10 cents more than the US dollar. The US dollar is also taking a beating by the Euro.

Chris brown paid tribute to hat-trick hero Marcus Stewart after the master marksman's treble set Sunderland on the road to a 4-2 win against Watford.
Stewart netted in the 17th and 51st minutes as well as converting a 32nd-minute penalty to put the Wearsiders in charge at the Stadium of Light before being replaced by Brown, who added the fourth goal in the 73rd minute.
Stewart's goals took his total for the season to 12, which includes two hat-tricks.
Brown said: "Marcus has been different class for the last two or three months.
"He has led the line unbelievably well and I have learned so much from him.
"Everywhere he has gone in his career he has scored goals and I see him every day in training so you can tell he just has that goalscorer's knack.
"He went through a bad spell earlier on in the season but I knew he would come through it and he has done that.
"He was still playing well even when he went through that patch when he was not scoring and now he is getting the goals as well."
Brown's goal came from close range when he prodded the ball home after Carl Robinson had headed down a Dean Whitehead corner.
The 20-year-old almost grabbed a second a few minutes later when he fired in a shot from 18 yards which was heading for the top corner, only for Watford goalkeeper Paul Jones to palm it away.
Brown said: "I was happy with the goal. It was not over the line when it came to me and I managed to get a touch on it - I will take any kind of goal at the moment!
"It was just what I needed and then a few minutes afterwards I had another chance and I thought that was heading in too - but the goalkeeper made a great save." Watford reduced the deficit towards the end with two goals from Bruce Dyer after 76 and 90 minutes.
Brown said: "We were disappointed to let the two goals in late on and the gaffer had a go at us afterwards for being sloppy.
"That apart, this was a good result and we want to kick on from here."
With top two Ipswich and Wigan both winning, Sunderland remain in third place, level on points with the Latics and five points behind the leaders.
Brown said: "It is just a bonus if we come off the pitch and find that the top two have dropped points.
"I do not think they can win every game so we just have to concentrate on winning our matches.
"The next few games are winnable now so the ball is in our court - if we play well then we will get the results and hopefully break into the top two."
Stewart, meanwhile, admitted his long-term future on Wearside was still in the melting pot.
He said: "I do not know what is going on with my contract at the end of the season but if I do leave I want to be a positive part of the club's history.
"We have to achieve something this season and that means getting promotion. If I do that I will be happy."
NA BRACE from top scorer Ian Graham gave Sunderland Under-18s a 2-0 FA Premier Academy League win over Middlesbrough.

What is Stress?
Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both good (eustress) and bad (distress). When you feel stressed by something going on around you, your body reacts by releasing chemicals into your blood. These chemicals give people more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if your stress is caused by physical danger. This can also be a bad thing, if your stress is caused by something emotional and there is no outlet for this extra energy and strength.
Nurses and teachers are in the 3rd and 4th most stressful occupations. (Firefighter is 1st and military soldier is 2nd). Some of the common causes of stress are 'survival stress' (when you are afraid of being hurt by someone or something), 'internal stress' when we worry about things we can do nothing about', 'environmental stress 'things around you that cause stress such as noise, crowding, and environmental stresses.
Fatigue and Overwork is the 4th kind of stress that builds up over a long time and can take a hard toll on your body. It can be caused by working too hard at your job(s), school, or home. It can also be caused by not knowing how to manage your time well or how to take time out for rest and relaxation. This can be one of the hardest kinds of stress to avoid because many people feel this is out of their control. In schools today it is very easy to become susceptible to this kind of stress , classrooms are overcrowded, curriculums are changings, benchmarks must be met, testing scores need to remain high, graduation numbers need to maximized, and we as educators are responsible to make sure our students succeed and become productive members of society.
We are given a task that many other individuals in business would not accept, a task of impossible proportions, yet we willingly accept the task and work hard, often tirelessly to accomplish what is needed with insufficient supplies, time and support, while at the same time managing to smile and make it look easy and often fun. We work to alleviate the stress of our students so that they can perform at their optimum. We take care of others, often neglecting ourselves in the process.
It is important to AVOID the burnout – and seek wellness. That means develop a wellness plan to help distress your life. First remember you have ONE life – and you are responsible for your wellness.
No one can take your wellness away from you unless you allow it. Make time for your wellness plan. Make no excuses. Some strategies you can use for you wellness plan are: Start the day right – think positive thoughts, exercise: walk at lunch, ride your bike to work, pack healthy snacks that include Omega rich foods –such as dried fruit, nuts, veggies, raisins and fruits. Talk to people if you need some extra help, take advantage of the resources available, don't let things bottle up until they blow-up. If you need a mental health day – take it. Support each other. Show appreciation for each other and the great staff we have, and even for the great kids we have remember many of them come to school with a great deal of stress. Students need to acquire the tools to handle their stress also and we need to teach them how to do that. Remember be GOOD to YOURSELF. LIVE YOUR LIVE! LOVE YOUR LIFE!

Tuesday, March 20, 2007 - Molly 3 comments
Well we've hit a little bump in our road with Molly. She went in yesterday for another Chemo day, but they couldn't do the treatment. Molly's white blood cell count is VERY low and she was running a slight fever. Well this morning the poor thing woke up shaking and VERY VERY weak. I rushed her to the hospital only to find out she had a temp of 106. It looks like she is septic, and I'm sorry I can't explain what that all means right now because I'm still doing my research. The doctors admitted her to the hospital in ICU where she will be on an IV with fluids and large doses of antibiotics.
At this point she will be there a minimum of 24 hours. Keep her in your thoughts.
Meanwhile at home I have a very sad little one who doesn't understand why she has to be all alone for the second day in a row. Oh boy tonight is gonna be tough!!

Ok so the not so good news is — I DID NOT write any words today toward my word count. But its TOTALLY OK because, guess what? I just plotted the beans out of two really important scenes (read: chapters) in the book, and so tomorrow (or whenever) I sit down to write them, I'm probably going to bust out a minimum of 5000 words!! I'm super duper excited!
It all started when…
I didn't know what I was going to do. I have a big time work schedule this week, I'm exhausted, and I had no idea when, if ever, I would write. That was part of my tantrum this past weekend where I told my husband that I was going to quit nanowrimo. For those of you that didn't read that previous post –I got over my tantrum and didn't quit. Anyway, as I said, I've been having a mini-panic attack because I literally didn't know when I would write.
So today, since I really couldn't write, I decided I would use my freaking 2 hr commute (each way) to record my thoughts about a couple of scenes critical to the rising action of the plot. As I talked into the recorder, my thoughts just got clearer and clearer. I had a boatload of ideas! A cornucopia of ideas! A UNIVERSE of IDEAS! I talked for about 20 minutes total. I spent the rest of my commute talking to my mom as usual. HAHA.
When I finally got home tonight, I sat down to type up all the ideas for the scenes — into a sort of outline-ish list. When I was done, I had over 2100 words, just in outline form! AND — I'm so excited to write it (as soon as I have the time and am not ready to keel over with exhaustion).
So that's the REALLY GOOD NEWS >>>> I am excited to write my story again. YAY! 🙂
I also figured if I can't find the time to actually write this week, I'll just keep recording my ideas and typing them out. Then when Saturday comes, maybe I'll even have one of those elusive 50K days! A girl can hope right?
I hope all of you are having an awesome breakthrough day as well!

I've heard so much about the health and vitamin properties of kale in the last few months, I finally caved in and bought some. Having brought it home, I immediately started trawling the internet for ideas on how to use it. The two below, funnily enough, I made up, but they were both delicious. The first was a weeknight dinner, the second was to pack and take to the Paul Simon concert tonight along with a huge pot of fruit salad (because I'm a total pig). *grin*
Gnocchi with kale and red bell pepper
1. Mince two cloves of garlic and fry in a splash of hot olive oil (I used a wok, as the later stages are easier in a high bottomed pan)
2. Tear the stems from two or three healthy handsful of kale and tear the leaves into roughly bitesized pieces, add to the garlic in oil and stir thoroughly, cook for about three minutes to allow the leaves to wilt
3. Cut a red bell pepper into small chunks and toss in with the kale
4. Add about a cup of vegetable stock, simmer everything together until it's almost reduced completely
5. Cook the gnocchi in a separate pan with boiling water (it's done when they float), then drain and add to kale and pepper mixture, toss to coat in the veggie stock sauce
6. Stuff your face
Kale, sweetcorn and new potato salad
1. Wash then cut a heaping double handful of new potatoes into quarters or more, depending on the size of the spuds, toss into boiling water until tender, drain and set aside
2. Boil two ears of corn until tender, drain, cover with cold water and set aside
3. Thinly slice a red onion and sautee in olive oil
4. Tear the stems from two handsful of kale and tear the leaves into pieces, add to the oil and stir, cook for about three minutes to allow the leaves to wilt
5. Slice the kernels from the ears of now cooled corn, add with the new potatoes to the kale and stir thoroughly, heat through stirring occasionally
6. When removed from the heat, add several grinds of pepper, a couple of tablespoons of mayo/vegannaise and a few squirts of mustard (basically season/sauce to taste)
7. Eat warm if you fancy it, or stick it in the fridge for later use
I'm going to be dedicating the next blog to the amazing surprise package that arrived at our door yesterday afternoon, so be ready for a slew of baking posts!

When the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic games came out, I played them a lot. I especially remember loving the first one to pieces and finishing it more than once. The second one, well, I know I had finished it, but I didn't like it as much. I purchased upgraded copies of both games via Steam in 2014 thanks to a great daily deal.
I wanted to jump back into the first game but it refused to cooperate with my computer, so I tried the second one out. This one behaved. I thought it'd be fun, but I didn't have high hopes.
Against all odds, I loved KOTOR II and I definitely recommend it now! The characters were much more compelling than I recalled and I loved the interactions between them, as well as the main character's story. I enjoyed the gameplay as well and I didn't remember half the worlds you visit in the story! There was much more depth to it all than I thought there was the first time around and I even found Atton an interesting character, when I had really disliked him the first time around!
It was a really good surprise and I think I'll even play this again. I know there was a restoration project made to change the abrupt ending, but I played the standard version.

Day 364
Well this is it, the last day. I don't know how I'm only at day 364 when it's the last day of the year...I guess I miss counted somewhere, but I know I published a pic for every day so somewhere on the blog I must have labelled 2 entries with the same date. Oh well, I'm not going to go back and re-fix them all now...I'm just glad that I no longer have to be a slave to my camera. It was a fun project but it was difficult at times. I'm just proud that I took the challenge, stuck with it, and made it through to the end!

Happy birthday Wally! I made his cake today. I asked him a few days ago what kind of cake he wanted and he said "I don't know...The Enterprise!" So this is what I came up with. The ship and planet are fondant, and planet Jupiter is hand painted, though he thought it was Mars, go figure. The cake was a lemon cake with a blueberry filling, two of his favourite flavours.

Day 359
I needed to find a spot in the kitchen for my new Kitchen Aid mixer. I found one spot but I needed to move a few things into a little used cabinet by the stove. I tried to clear it out but the guy who built this kitchen (my husband) did all kinds of weird things. There was a some kind of separator inside that I couldn't get out because a screw driver wouldn't fit, so I actually had to take the whole counter apart. What a mess. This was supposed to be a 5 minute job, instead it took 3 hours!

Today Ryan had a half day at school, I had to pick something up there, so I was invited to have lunch with the kids. Alex was with me so he got to experience what it would be like at school with all the other kids. He loved it of course. Here he is sitting at one of the tables eating.

Spring Cleaning You
March is the month that we begin to feel the effects of Spring weather. It's wonderful to see new blooms as we cast off the dreariness of winter. When I lived in Ohio I used to give my house a Spring Cleaning. We can use this analogy when we think about spring cleaning ourselves. Ask yourself-what do I need to clean out; what do I need to let go of? Where are the cobwebs?

I just had a CT scan done two nights ago and am anxiously awaiting the results. I have to admit that I am scared of surgery and/or something else being wrong too.
If you have had it, what were your symptoms like? How was it treated for you?

Scotty's Brewhouse, although most times thoroughly delicious, has a reputation for having a very expensive menu. So when a new location opened up in nearby Mishawaka earlier this year, I wasn't planning on visiting very often. That is, until I learned about their all-you-can-eat wing special on Mondays.
Normally, 6 wings at Scotty's would cost you $8.50, a price that I think is a complete rip off no matter how good they are. But on Mondays, you can get as many wings as you can stuff yourself with for the price of $10 even.
Say what? Count me in.
I've only made it out to Scotty's a handful of times since my first experience, but I would have to say that as long as you are a wing fanatic like myself and choose to go on only Mondays, it is well worth it each and every time.
For this installment of Wing Review, I decided to compare three different wing sauces of theirs; spicy bar-b-q, mo'fo' mustard, and garlic teriyaki.
WING REVIEW (all scores out of 10):
Size: 9
The wings at Scotty's Brewhouse are among the biggest I've eaten at any restaurant, and even at an all-you-can-eat rate someone as constantly hungry as me has trouble downing much more than 20. The only reason I didn't give them a perfect 10 is because I have eaten bigger once before, and need to reserve a perfect score for those ridiculous occasions.
Texture: 10
Hands down, the best texture I have ever tasted in a wing. The skin is crispy but at the same time not at all hard or tough to break through, and the meat inside is as juicy as I've ever experienced. I'm not certain but I have been told that they use peanut oil in their deep frying, which is evident in the taste. They also use the exact right amount of sauce on their wings and it has the exact thickness that a wing sauce should have; you aren't left with a puddle of greasy fluid on your plate afterword.
FLAVOR REVIEW (per sauce):
Spicy Bar-B-Q: 5
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't necessarily BAD, but compared to other spicy/hot BBQ sauces I've had, it had no kick to it at all and anything resembling "hot" was non-existent.
Mo'Fo' Mustard: 10
I usually tend to stay away from mustard/honey mustard wing flavors because I have experienced horrible ones in the past, but someone suggested this to my friend as the best sauce they had. After trying it, I had to agree. I honestly can't explain it, you just have to try it.
Garlic Teriyaki: 8
This was one of the best fusions of teriyaki with any other flavor that I have experienced. It had a great sweetness from the teriyaki that was neutralized by the garlic, and it balanced out quite well.
I would definitely recommend checking out Scotty's Brewhouse for all-you-can-eat wings on a Monday near you. But seriously, only on a Monday. Unless your rich. Which I am not.

KASSERT(9) DragonFly Kernel Developer's Manual KASSERT(9)
NAMEKASSERT, KKASSERT -- kernel expression verification macros
SYNOPSISoptions INVARIANTS KASSERT(expression, const char *msg); KKASSERT(expression);
DESCRIPTIONThe macros described in this manual page are no-op unless the kernel is compiled with options INVARIANTS. The KASSERT() macro tests the given expression and if it is false, the panic(9) function is called to display msg and terminate the running sys- tem. The KKASSERT() macro is similar to KASSERT(), except it does not require a description message but instead displays expression and terminates the running system.
EXAMPLESThe kernel function vput() must not be called with a NULL pointer. void vput(struct vnode *vp) { struct thread *td = curthread; KASSERT(vp != NULL, ("vput: null vp")); ... }
SEE ALSOconfig(8), panic(9)

Flowers Are My Weakness
Wishing for Spring again. It sure is hot here - 110 today!
Now we're past the middle of August and it is getting a little cooler. Yeah!
Help Needed
Organization! whoever invented that word? It's foreign to me, but I'm trying. Over our vacation I picked up and read cover to cover "Clutter's Last Stand". It was pretty good, now I just need to follow it. Would love to hear success stories!
