I had withheld publishing my notes on Gantuangco, in consideration of the family's tree narrated in a well-known book (which I skimmed through in a Cebu City Museum copy) and subsequently in family tree form in a family website wherein it showed only two sons of Silvestre Gan Tuang Co (the starting person), since my reconstruction had 3 children of his.
The earliest Carcar record of the family I have notes of is the 1861 baptism of Vicente Gantuangco, a son of Perfecto (missing in the family website as a son of Silvestre). In the notes, Perfecto was said to have been born in Cebu City but became a cabeza in Carcar. One whole and big branch (and which possibly may have been the first to establish residency in Carcar) has been left out of the family's own reconstruction and thus, I'd need a knowledgeable member of the family to help iron this important discrepancy out.
The spelling change (as change it was) from Gantuangco to Gantuangko initiated by some families may correspond to the period in Philippine history, pre- and post-Katipunan revolution, where Filipinos decided to "nationalize" even the spelling of their names, deciding that "k" was Filipino and "c" was Spanish because no Spanish word was spelled with a "k" — on that score, perhaps sharing the same sentiments as the Basque nation, and perhaps even predating the latter in that regard. It is the same period when Kabkad (that spelling) was determined to be the old name of the town. In other places in Cebu, Quintanar became Kintanar and Jacosalem, Jakosalem. As such, there is no reason to suppose that Gantuangco and Gantuangko in Carcar are two separate families, and the families know that to be so. But for the sake of family history, it would be delightful if the family historian can dig up to when exactly, and initiated by whom, and maybe for what reason, the change occurred. [14-Jan-2011] There had been two members of the family who became mayors of Carcar, and, providentially, one used Gantuangco and the other Gantuangko: Constancio Gantuangco, twice mayor immediately before the Japanese set-up government and, for the third time, as liberation mayor; and his nephew Leoncio Gantuangko from 1952-1955.

Words of Wisdom
"Conservatism, though a necessary element in any stable society, is not a social program; in its paternalistic, nationalistic and power-adoring tendencies it is often closer to socialism than true liberalism; and with its traditionalistic, anti-intellectual and often mystical propensities it will never, except in short periods of disillusionment, appeal to the young and all those others who believe that some changes are desirable if this world is to become a better place. A conservative movement, by its very nature, is bound to be a defender of established privilege and to lean on the power of government for the protection of privilege. The essence of the liberal position, however, is the denial of all privilege, if privilege is understood in its proper and original meaning of the state granting and protecting rights to some which are not available on equal terms to others." - F.A. Hayek

Beach Boys Love You
When I was seven I was really into the Beach Boys' Endless Summer album, which my mother had gotten on 8-track from one of those RCA record club deals that used to be inserted into Tv Guide. So for Christmas that year, I was given what was then the newest Beach Boys record, Love You. I quickly decided that the only song worth playing on the album was "Johnny Carson," and not just because Carson was on late at night, when I wanted to be awake, and was in many ways a symbol of all the fruits of the adult world I bitterly longed for. It was more that I realized even at
seven that something very strange had to have happened in that adult world for "Johnny Carson" ever to make it on a record that someone could buy in a store. It sounded like something I could have made up banging on the piano in the living room, and the words weren't lyrics so much as declarative statements utterly stripped of rhetorical figure. In fact it meshed exactly with how I would have described Johnny Carson at the time:
He sits behind his microphone
Johnny Carson
He speaks in such a manly tone
Johnny Carson
Ed McMahon comes on and says Here's Johnny
Every night at eleven thirty he's so funny
It's nice to have you on the show tonight
I've seen your act in Vegas out of sight
When guests are boring he fills up the slack
Johnny Carson
The network makes him break his back
Johnny Carson
Ed McMahon comes on and says Here's Johnny
Every night at eleven thirty he's so funny
Don't you think he's such a natural guy
The way he's kept it up could make you cry.
Of course I didn't get the last line at the time. Now it seems clear that Brian Wilson was in the midst of a total public meltdown and saw Carson as the emblem of everything he couldn't manage to be himself -- full of grace under pressure and stamina in the glare of public scrutiny and hero worship. When I was seven it just seemed silly to me. The whole song seemed silly and I would play it over and over again and laugh to myself the whole time. Nothing was sillier to me than the cheerleader refrain that closes the song:
Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire.
Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire.
Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire.
Who's the man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
It strange to think of it now, because the whole album now seems sad and poignant and completely shadowed in melancholy, in part because of the artless pathos of the songs, their childlike hopefulness in the face of having cosmically fucked everything up, and in part because it reminds me of being seven again and having no idea that things could ever get like that. The suite on side two -- "The Night Was So Young", "I'll Bet He's Nice" and "Let's Put Our Hearts Together" -- is pretty amazing. In the first song, the singer is mulling over his missed opportunities with a woman, stunned into a kind of blank simplicity by his devastating awareness of his helplessness, of the futility. He lays awake all night stuck in this melancholy rut that the music nicely conveys, wondering what miracle could end the impasse: "Wake up, call me, baby, call me, tell me what's on your mind." That's not going to happen. The next song picks up what seems to be the same relationship, with the woman having moved on to another man. The singer can't muster up much bitterness or jealousy; he seems too defeated for that. What makes this song so amazing is that it suddenly opens into this incredible middle eight, with Carl Wilson (with typical chill-giving mellifluousness) singing, "Baby, don't you ever tell me that you're leaving, now that you got me to believe in, / You are the sunshine and the flower, come on and make my every hour." It's a totally unexpected explosion of hope that gets snuffed out just as soon its impact has crested. In the final song, the singer's ready to lay it on the line and propose to the woman, and just when you are prepared for more futile rejection and regret and stuporous recitation, a woman's voice suddenly enters the scene with "I've never had someone I need someone to live with and be good to." Is it real? Probably not. The clue is the passivity in the first verse, where he hopes that by waiting and doing nothing, the woman will suddenly just adore him. This seems to reveal that the singer has withdrawn entirely into fantasy, where he can put his heart together with his beloved's rather than being stuck with it, broken and beyond repair.
I just didn't get it when I was seven; I'm not sure I completely appreciate it now, because everytime I listen to it it still makes me feel like I'm suddenly in over my head. I'll probably never reach those emotional depths, but I'm glad there are albums like this one to let me get a sense of how deep it can be.

Head Games
When this album came out I was given a copy on 8 track, and I listened to it a lot on one particular camping trip in the Poconos. I thought it was great, but I knew there was some controversy about it, both the album cover and the first single, "Dirty White Boy." I deduced that the girl on the cover had just clearly made a mistake and walked into a men's room, and people were probably afraid that the cover, like women's lib, was just one more stepping stone to the futuristic horror of unisex bathrooms. And I figured that white people didn't like being called dirty. That song featured my favorite lyric: "I'm a loner but I'm never alone / Every night I get one step closer to the danger zone." As I was cruising around the lake at the campground on my bike by myself, I kept thinking about that -- I could relate to the danger zone, because I couldn't swim.
I was most puzzled by "Head Games." What was wrong with head games, I wondered? I liked head games -- I was into Rubik's cube and solving logic puzzles in the Dell Crossword books. I figured a relationship in which "instead of making love we play head games" was a perfect one, but clearly Lou Gramm wasn't pleased with the arrangement.

Jerry Lewis
Speaking of concentration camps, here's a link to an article about Jerry Lewis's mythical film, The Day the Clown Cried: http://www.subcin.com/clownspy.html
Not sure why this intrigues me so much; maybe something about hubris producing something so heartfelt and so misguided simultaneously makes me poignantly ashamed of feeling heartbroken about it. It's absurd to pity people like Jerry Lewis, but I feel more genuinely moved by the idea of his making this film than I do about most pseudo-emotional events in my life.

Spooky faces
Sort of evokes a junior-high concentration camp. I think these girls were probably part of a dermotologist's study, and that the idea to pencil initials on their heads was a creepy whim of the doctor's.

Preview brought back lots of memories. I did a brief study-abroad in Brazil and my home-stay was in Niteroi the place where the pitstop is. It has been a while, but maybe I can dig up some relevant photos.
My spec out of the preview:The wax is a roadblock in BrazilIt looked like Zev and Justin were trying to sell that stuff for a detour on the beachThe trotters are missing a bus somewhereWe got the credits clip of Christ the redeemer statue will they go there? They have been to a lot of the places in the credits
That's Jen's arm...it could have been worse!
Peach, you might want to put this in Ep 12 thread. I think this cap is different from the cabs the other teams took which clearly showed them to be in Brazil. Could this be a cap from Leg 12? I'm unsure, but the outside surroundings and the cab itself does seemed like Florida~Not sure.

BOSTON, Mass.—After 43 minutes and 32 seconds of bruising back-and-forth hockey, Travis Daniel (North Brunswick, N.J.) lifted UMass Boston (6-2-1, 2-2-1 ECAC East) to a 4-3 overtime victory over the University of New England (2-7-0, 1-5-0 ECAC East) Friday night at the Clark Athletic Ice Rink.
With droves of Beacons fans flocking the boards, Daniel took a pass from linemate Mike DeGrazia (Novi, Mich.) and slammed it into the nearside of the net as hard as he could, to lift the Beacons and earn two vital points in the conference standings.
The junior reached the 20-point plateau for the third straight season with two goals and an assist. For Daniel, it was the third-game winning goal already this season, and second in three games.
DeGrazia added three assists to keep pace with Daniel, while fellow senior Tim Richter (Naugatuck, Conn.) scored his second and third goals of the season.
First-line center Max Reavis (Omaha, Neb.) added two assists, while Rob Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.) and Derek Colucci (North Scituate, R.I.) chipped in with one assist apiece.
Zach Andrews (Coral Springs, Fla.) helped the Beacons extend their longest winning streak of the season to four, with 21 saves on 24 shots. The Beacons freshman netminder earned his third straight victory and moved to 5-2-1 on the year.
Nor'Easters sophomore Ian Edwards made 21 saves as well, but allowed a goal on the only shot he faced in overtime.
After defeating the University of New England 5-3 in Sunday's P.A.L. Stovepipe Classic Championship Game, the Beacons faced a much stiffer test the second time around. The statistics showed the parity, as UMass Boston held a slim 25-24 edge in shots and 37-36 advantage in faceoffs.
For the second straight contest, the University of New England jumped out to an early lead. Nick Kolb gave the Nor'Easters a 1-0 lead just 1:57 into the contest, when he beat Andrews off of a Chris Glover pass.
Daniel tied the game up less than five minutes later when he rattled it home off passes from DeGrazia and Reavis. UMass Boston would claim a 2-1 lead at 8:26, when Richter redirected a laser shot from Florentino past Edwards and into the net. The goal came just 10 seconds into the Beacons first power-play of the night, with DeGrazia picking up the second assist.
After a scoreless final 12 minutes of the stanza, the Nor'Easters scored another goal early in a period, as Sean Sullivan scored just 42 seconds into the second period.
The Beacons would grab the lead back at 16:29 when Richter lifted a shot over Edwards' pads. Colucci picked up his first career assist on the play, while Daniel added his 12th of the season.
Ryan Quinn would take the air out of the Beacons and their lively crowd at 1:51 of the third period, when he scored off a pass from Brent Bourgeois and Glover.
The two teams spent the duration of the third period scoreless with both squads struggling to put together opportunities. Florentino made the defensive save of the night for UMB, when the senior defenseman raced back and sprawled out and got his stick on a pass to break up a 2-on-1 Nor'Easters opportunity.
After failing to win their first three overtime games at home, UMass Boston picked up their energy in their extra session, putting together several chances that were knocked away by University of New England defenders. But Daniel and the Beacons were not to be denied.
With 3:32 to go, Daniel won a faceoff and the puck went skittering over to the boards, DeGrazia fought off a defender and sent it to the opposite circle for Daniel. The junior center wound up and sent a one-timer crashing into the twine to beat Edwards who was just a little slow in sliding across the net to make the save.
UMass Boston will look to finish off the fall semester with their first four-point weekend of the season when they take on the University of Southern Maine at 4 p.m.

Another regime change in Cleveland means uncertainty for Browns players who make up the youngest roster in the league. One of their older -- but less-experienced -- employs, 29-year-old quarterback Brandon Weeden, knows he's starting from scratch under new coach Rob Chudzinski.
"We're talking about a multibillion-dollar corporation, essentially," Weeden told The Associated Press on Friday from a charity event in Oklahoma. "There's going to be changes. Obviously, we've already seen some. But there's going to be competition. The guys that drafted me are no longer there, so I fully expect there to be competition. I would want competition. I want to go into camp and compete. If I had won 10 or 11 games last year, that may not be the case, but we weren't able to get that done."
Said Weeden: "That's the way professional sports are. Unless you're Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees or these guys, you might as well expect for somebody to try to come take your job. That's part of the business. But it's also the fun part. You get to compete and try to be a winner."
Weeden's uneven rookie season leaves Chud and Cleveland's front office with a tough assessment to make. Some of Weeden's problems in 2012 were due to his limitations. We saw too many poor reads, tipped passes and stalled drives. On the other hand, trying to fit Weeden into a hyper-vanilla edition of the West Coast offense was a ill match from the start.
Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner bring a vertical passing game that will be molded to the roster's strengths. Weeden stands to benefit from more shotgun action and downfield looks. He's a strong-armed passer, but must improve his decision-making on the field. He threw too many passes that killed the Browns in key moments.
The reality is that scheme fit and personal growth might not mean a thing. Cleveland has a long list of new faces running the show and it's just as likely they'll start over at quarterback. Ryan Mallett, anyone?

Fox Business Fails In Attempt To Discredit Economists Who Predict Obama Jobs Plan Will Create Jobs
Fox Business is questioning the credibility of Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi after he estimated that President Obama's jobs plan would create nearly two million jobs, arguing that "every other economist in the world" disagrees. In fact, many economists have said that the American Jobs Act would create millions of jobs.
Fox Business: "Every Other Economist In The World" Thinks Mark Zandi's Estimate Is "Absurd"
Fred Barnes And Lou Dobbs Laugh At Zandi's Prediction Of American Jobs Act Impact. On Lou Dobbs Tonight, Fox contributor Fred Barnes and host Lou Dobbs discussed the fact that Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi predicted that the President Obama's jobs bill would create nearly two million jobs:
BARNES: President Obama has been going around saying that independent economists -- and that's plural, economists -- agree with him that his jobs bill will create nearly two million jobs and create more growth by 2 percent. Well, the White House actually produced the name of only one economist today who actually agrees with those numbers, and I think every other economist in the world thinks they're absurd.
DOBBS: Who is that one economist?
BARNES: Ah, it was the one you -- I'm sure you expected, Mark Zandi.
DOBBS: [Laughing] The pride of Moody's.
BARNES: [Laughing] Yes. [Fox Business, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 10/21/11]
Bolling Dismisses Zandi's Evaluation Of Obama's Jobs Plan Because Of Zandi's Positive Statements On Stimulus Bill. From Eric Bolling's Fox Business show:
BOLLING: Doc, is it time to just throw in the towel on the Obama economic policies?
CAROLINE HELDMAN (Occidental College professor): Well, I'm sure that's -- I mean, Republicans intended to throw in the towel before it even made it to Congress. The American public should be up in arms about the fact that Republicans are practicing partisan politics over the wealth and the health of the nation. President Obama's plan, according to Moody's, is going to create 1.9 million new jobs and boost the economy by 2 percent.
BOLLING: Time out. Time out. Let's do it --
HELDMAN: I mean, it doesn't make sense that they're not allowing to this go through.
BOLLING: -- let's do it this way. Let's do it this way. Let's stay factual, and when we steer off the factual highway, I'll bring you back on through the on ramp.
HELDMAN: Is Moody's not factual? I'm sorry, you're challenging Moody's?
BOLLING: No. It's not Moody's. It's Mark Zandi who works at Moody's, the same guy who was all for stimulus one. So goodbye on that one. Now the other one, you said, it's partisan politics. Unfortunately --
HELDMAN: Stimulus one worked. It's a myth that stimulus one didn't work. It's a myth. [Fox Business, Follow the Money, 10/21/11]
In Fact, Zandi Is Only One Of Many Economists Who Say Obama's Jobs Plan Will Create Jobs, Boost Economy
Bloomberg: Economists Conclude Jobs Act Would "Help Avoid A Return To Recession." Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News concluded that the jobs plan "would help avoid a return to recession by maintaining growth and pushing down the unemployment rate next year." From Bloomberg:
President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs plan would help avoid a return to recession by maintaining growth and pushing down the unemployment rate next year, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
The legislation, submitted to Congress this month, would increase gross domestic product by 0.6 percent next year and add or keep 275,000 workers on payrolls, the median estimates in the survey of 34 economists showed. The program would also lower the jobless rate by 0.2 percentage point in 2012, economists said. [Bloomberg, 9/28/10]
Zandi: American Jobs Act Would Add Nearly 2 Million Jobs. UPI reported:
President Barack Obama's $447 billion job-creation plan would likely add 1.9 million payroll jobs and grow the U.S. economy 2 percent, a leading economist said.
The plan, which Obama outlined before a joint session of Congress Thursday, would likely cut the unemployment rate by a percentage point, Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi said as Obama prepared to tout the plan at Virginia's University of Richmond. [United Press International, 9/9/11]
Macroeconomic Advisers: American Jobs Act Would Be "A Significant Boost To GDP And Employment." From the blog of Macroeconomic Advisers LLC:
We estimate that the American Jobs Act (AJA), if enacted, would give a significant boost to GDP and employment over the near-term.
- The various tax cuts aimed at raising workers' after-tax income and encouraging hiring and investing, combined with the spending increases aimed at maintaining state & local employment and funding infrastructure modernization, would:
- Boost the level of GDP by 1.3% by the end of 2012, and by 0.2% by the end of 2013.
- Raise nonfarm establishment employment by 1.3 million by the end of 2012 and 0.8 million by the end of 2013, relative to the baseline.
- The program works directly to raise employment through tax incentives and support to state & local governments for increasing hiring; it works indirectly through the positive boost to aggregate demand (and hence hiring) stimulated by the direct spending and the increase in household income resulting from lower employee payroll taxes and increased employment. [Macroeconomic Advisers LLC, 9/8/11]
EPI: American Jobs Act Would "Increase Employment By About 4.3 Million Jobs." Economic Policy Institute research and policy director John Irons provided a "preliminary breakdown of the package and a first pass look at the job impact" of Obama's jobs plan:
Overall the package would increase employment by about 4.3 million jobs over the next couple of years. The new initiatives would boost employment by about 2.6 million jobs, while the continuation of the two temporary provisions (EUI and the payroll tax holiday) would prevent a backslide of over 1.6 million jobs.
There's still a big hole left to fill, but every step matters.
Irons included the following graphic in his post:
[Economic Policy Institute, 9/8/11]
IHS Global Insight: American Jobs Act Could Grow GDP By 1.4 Percentage Points, Create 900,000 Jobs. From IHS Global Insight chief U.S. economist Nigel Gault's estimate of the American Jobs Act's impact:
Adding the different elements of the programme would generate a 2012 (calendar-year) impact on GDP growth--compared to our baseline--of about 0.8 percentage point. Passing none of the programme would cut about 0.6 percentage point off our projected growth rate. Thus, the overall swing in growth between not passing any of it and passing the whole thing would be about 1.4 percentage points. The corresponding swing for employment (also calendar-year average) would be around 900,000 (from down 400,000 to up 500,000). We will watch the debate over the proposals carefully, to see what parts of it the Republicans might go along with. Our expectation at this point is that not much beyond the extension of the existing payroll tax cut and the extension of emergency unemployment insurance benefits will be passed. For now, we have no plans to adjust our 2012 forecast based on the president's proposal. [IHS Global Insight, 9/12/11]
Ameriprise Financial Services Senior Economist: Obama Jobs Plan Could Add Up To 1.2 Million Jobs. CNNMoney reported:
Economists gave generally positive reviews to President Obama's jobs plan Friday, with some estimating that at least 1 million jobs could be added in the next year if Congress passes the package.
The payroll tax holiday for workers and small businesses was cited specifically for having a relatively good "bang for the buck." And that part of the plan may have the most bipartisan support.
"This additional spending capacity in the hands of consumers should continue to foster improvements in aggregate domestic demand. And ultimately, it is demand and demand alone that will lead to more business hiring," said Russell Price, senior economist for Ameriprise Financial Services.
Price estimates the increased payroll tax holiday for workers by itself is likely to add between 750,000 to 1 million jobs, and that the new break on payroll taxes for employers could add an additional 100,000 to 200,000 jobs.
He added that gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation's economic activity, could get a 1.5 percentage point boost as well. [CNNMoney, 9/9/11]
Nuveen Asset Management Chief Economist: American Jobs Act Could Add A Million Jobs. CNNMoney further reported:
Economists say one big problem with assessing the program is figuring out its chance of passage in the face of Republican criticism.
Keith Hembre, chief economist for Nuveen Asset Management, said he thinks the package could lift GDP by 1.5 percentage points and add 1 million jobs, but doubts Congress will approve Obama's proposal.
"It seems much more like a wish list than anything that is likely become law," he said. [CNNMoney, 9/9/11]

LONDON, July 27 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle's "Isles of Wonder" wowed a global TV audience of 1 billion during Friday's opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London.
The show, which Boyle called "a celebration of the creativity, exuberance and, above all, the generosity of the British people," brought viewers on a tour of British history -- sports and otherwise -- beginning with bucolic scenes of livestock and maypole dancing followed by a transformation of the landscape into a quasi-nightmarish industrial arena and culminating with the Olympic rings forged from molten metal, the BBC reported.
At one point, a troupe of Mary Poppinses descended from the sky to chase off Harry Potter villain Voldemort during a section of the show honoring the United Kingdom's National Health Service.
The production, described as a live film, incorporated several recorded scenes, including Daniel Craig as James Bond escorting Queen Elizabeth II from Buckingham Palace to the Olympic stadium via helicopter and parachute. The queen then appeared in the royal box alongside the duke of Edinburgh and International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge.
The parade of nations began as always with Greece, then ran alphabetically until team Great Britain brought up the rear, led by four-time Olympic track cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy to the tune of David Bowie's "Heroes" amid 7 billion piece of biodegradable confetti. Moments earlier, the 530 athletes comprising Team USA -- the most successful team in Olympic history -- were cheered on from the stands by first lady Michelle Obama.
"London has an unmatched record for hosting the Games that spans more than a century," Rogge said after the parade, thanking the "diverse, vibrant and cosmopolitan" city.
"This is the birthplace of modern sport, the concepts of sportsmanship and fair play were codified here. Where sport as part of the educational curriculum was born," Rogge said, adding, "For the first time in Olympic history all of the teams have female athletes -- and this is a major boost for gender equality."
The queen then declared the Games of London open as the Olympic flag was carried into the stadium by, among others, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who earlier issued the Olympic truce, calling on all countries to declare peace during the fortnight. Boxing icon Muhammad Ali led the flag bearers.
Sir Steve Redgrave, the retired British rower who won gold medals at five consecutive Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000, accepted the Olympic flame on the banks of the River Thames from a speedboat-driving David Beckham and began his run into the arena, where he passed an honor guard of 500 workers who built the stadium, the BBC said. He then passed the flames to seven young athletes who lit the Olympic cauldron, which was formed during the parade as each nation deposited a single copper petal on a hill until all 204 petals were assembled as one.
Sir Paul McCartney then appeared and led the stadium in a rendition of "Hey Jude."
Earlier, British cyclist and 2012 Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins struck the world's largest harmonically tuned bell to open the official ceremony, which was prefaced by a flyover by the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, better known as the Red Arrows, trailing red, white and blue smoke.

A NINE-year-old girl from Ashley has read one book every day for the past six months.
Faith Jackson, of Mobberley Primary School, began the reading challenge on July 1 and finished on December 31.
As well as going to school and being involved in a number of extra-curricular activities including gymnastics, karate, choir, netball and playing the drums, Faith has managed to read 272 books.
Her mum, Laura Jackson, said: "Faith has found something she takes so much pleasure in and always strives to fit in. It makes me very proud.
"Seeing her excitement with every new book she opens is wonderful."
Laura is hoping that this display by Faith will inspire other children and adults to read as much as she does.
Even though the challenge has now finished, the reading has not stopped.
Faith has read a further 42 books since January 1.
It was at the beginning of the summer holidays when Laura suggested to Faith that she should start reading more but as the books piled up, Faith needed little encouragement.
According to Laura, she would have to "go into Faith's bedroom at night to ask her to stop reading and switch off the light because she just didn't want to stop... She escapes into her own little world."
When asked why she loves to read, Faith said: "Reading is fun. It can make you laugh and teach you facts you didn't know before.
"My favourite book was The Hardy Boys because I like adventures."

Backer for Energy Team youths
Following the America's Cup World Series Naples, the next big event for Energy Team is the Red Bull Youth America's Cup in San Francisco over 1-4 September.
In this competition, with 10 teams from eight different countries participating, France will be represented by a youth crew all under 25 years of age. After establishing a financial and operational partnership with Next World Group, an investment firm with a European background based in San Francisco, the youth crew has officially been rechristened Next World Energy.
This decision by Next World Group shows above all their commitment to supporting a young team of athletes with a lot of potential, and their participation in a competition where the power of teamwork mixes with the virtues of an eco-friendly and high-tech sport. Won over by the values conveyed by this team sport, but also by the youthful and innovative nature of this forward-looking project, Next World Group is not only providing financial and logistical support, but also with operations and relations with local contacts. These are major factors in ensuring the team's success, and provides the investment firm an opportunity to experience the preparation for the competition from the inside out.
The team representing France at the Red Bull Youth America's Cup will be led by Charles Hainneville, F18 runner-up at the 2012 Youth World Championship who was selected with the support of the French Sailing Federation and Yacht Club of France. He will be assisted by wing trimmer Antoine Lauriot-Prévost, Romain and Valentin Bellet, Hubert Savatier, Arthur Ponroy and Paul Dagault. In San Francisco, the youth team will be accompanied by the adult Energy Team and members of the French Sailing Federation in every step of their preparation.
Training began in Naples where the youth crew completed a solid training program aboard the AC45 with Energy Team.
Sébastien Lépinard, CEO Next World Group: "A lot of the values of Next World Group are represented in the Youth America's Cup: technology, performance, environmental well-being, team spirit, youthfulness, international competition, etc. Many of these elements are indeed quite simply the key values of our time. But looking beyond this similarity, it is what we can offer as an operational partner and not merely as a financial backer that convinced us to get involved. This is, in fact, our way of doing things in all of our business activities at Next World Group. Experiencing the project from the inside and actively contributing to the success is our reward."
Bruno Peyron, CEO Energy Team: "We are committed to our support for this team of young, talented sailors in the Youth America's Cup. This commitment expresses the idea at the heart of our project to pass something on.. We are pleased to welcome aboard Next World Group in this exciting challenge, which gives an idea of the sort of development program that I am increasingly keen to promote. Based in San Francisco and already involved in setting up the Energy Team Bay Area Supporters since last summer, they will be a valuable help to us with their local knowledge and contacts. I'd also like to thank Yann and all of the pro team, who carried out their job as coaches for the youngsters this week in Naples in a most enthusiastic way and willingly shared their skills."

Marian McGlinchey, formerly Price, the leading dissident republican, was released from custody yesterday after more than two years.
A convicted IRA bomber, McGlinchey had been in custody since May 2011 when the former Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson revoked her license.
According to the BBC McGlinchey was moved from Hydebank Prison to a hospital on medical advice last June. Today she is finally at home with her family.
McGlinchey was previously convicted for her part in the Old Bailey bomb in 1973, in which one man died and more than 200 people were injured.
When Paterson had first sent her back to prison he said he had made the decision because the threat she posed had 'significantly increased.'
In a statement issued by her family on Thursday they thanked 'all those groups and individuals who worked tirelessly to campaign for Marian's release. Although she is now at home she is still very ill and we would ask that the media respects our privacy at this time.'
In recent years McGlinchey has been a leading member of the political wing of the dissident republican group the Real IRA, who oppose the peace process.
McGlinchey was reportedly arrested two years ago after holding the text of a speech made by a masked man at a Real IRA rally in Derry, during which the man made threats against the security forces.
She was later reportedly charged with having supplied a mobile phone used during the murders of Mark Quinsey and Patrick Azimkar, two British soldiers who were shot dead outside Massereene Army base in County Antrim. Those charges against her still stand.
She was granted bail on those charges at the time but was then taken back to prison due to Paterson's decision to revoke her license.
According to the BBC the decision to release her from custody on Thursday was taken by the Parole Commissioners.
In a statement, the Northern Ireland Office said the independent Parole Commissioners determination was based on her 'current circumstances.'
'Information about the proceedings of the Parole Commissioners are not to be made public and the Northern Ireland Office therefore cannot comment further,' the statement read. 'Marian McGlinchey continues to face charges for two separate offenses through the Northern Ireland courts.'
Responding to the news of her release Sinn Fein junior minister Jennifer McCann told the BBC: 'She should never have been imprisoned in the first place. Re-imposing her life-term license, especially given that she was granted bail, was a vindictive and unjust decision, and denied her the entitlement to due legal process.'
In a statement Ulster Unionist Assembly Member Tom Elliot said: 'The news today that the Parole Commissioners have made the decision to release Marian Price from custody will come as a shock to many people. This is because charges of providing property for the purposes of terrorism in relation to the murders of soldiers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey, as well as encouraging support for a proscribed organization, still stand against her.'
In a statement Irish prime minister Enda Kenny said: 'The news today that the Parole Commissioners have made the decision to release Marian Price from custody will come as a shock to many people. This is because charges of providing property for the purposes of terrorism in relation to the murders of soldiers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey, as well as encouraging support for a proscribed organization, still stand against her.'
In contrast Irish prime minister Enda Kenny said: "There has been growing concern about Marian Price's health in recent months. I am pleased to learn of today's news and I hope that Price will now be able to spend time with her family and friends.'
Irish deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore agreed with the campaign to have McGlinchey released on humanitarian grounds: 'Her detention and declining health have led to concerns across the political spectrum in the Irish Houses of Parliament and I know that this decision will be widely welcomed on humanitarian grounds.'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field teams will split up this weekend at the Samford Invitational in Birmingham, Ala., and the Jerry Quiller Classic in Boulder, Colo.
Most of the team will be making a return trip to Birmingham, where they competed last weekend in the Birmingham Southern Invite. Fourteen distance and middle distance runners will make the trek to the elevation of Colorado.
"Colorado is known for middle distance," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "It wouldn't be a good meet for non-middle distance runners. For distance, it is at altitude and we aren't going to get good times and they will take a while to recover.
"The distance runners will move down to the 1500m and the 800m while Brenna Thompson will compete in the 400."
Although the elevation affects the distance runners, Taylor thinks it will benefit Thompson in her shorter race.
"Brenna probably has more of an advantage because of less air resistance in the 400," Taylor said. "All of the girls running the mile compete more as 5000m runners. They will feel it (the elevation) and notice it, but they don't know it yet."
The Samford Invitational will allow for many of the athletes to start gearing up for their regular events after many have competed in other events the first two weeks of the outdoor season.
"The Birmingham athletes will start to move into their more traditional events," Taylor said. "The hurdlers will start doing both hurdle events. People are moving to their regular events as they start to focus on getting their times and marks."
Lipscomb is coming off a meet last week that saw sophomore April Terry and junior Dani Walker earn Atlantic Sun Conference Track and Field Athletes of the Week.
Terry set two school records, one in the shot put and one in the hammer throw. Walker set a school record in the steeplechase, her first time competing in the event.
The events at Samford get started Friday at 1 p.m. with the decathlon and heptathlon. Field events begin at 5 p.m. Saturday's events begin at 1 p.m. with field events and 3 p.m. for the running events. The runners in Colorado get things started at 1 p.m.

Secret Spaces
As kids, we loved finding "secret spaces" around the home or in the backyard to call our own. Well it turns out those special spots are definitely not just for the little ones. Check out some of these very cool secret spaces for the home—and be sure to comment and let me know which ones are your favorite!!
Take this one for example: who would have thought to use steps themselves as storage?! Think of the endless options!
Last week I wrote a post about wine storage and how storage can be a part of your home's design element and let me tell you, I found some very cool wine storage options. This secret space reminds me of a wine celler in my last post except a little more "undercover."
Clever, clever!! You know that dead space under your cabinets that just collects dust? This is a very cool way to use that space in a bit of a mysterious way. Who would ever think to look under there? Now what would you put in these drawers?
Is this not Narnia or what?! I can just imagine how this would become a kid's favorite space in the house. It would make for such a special reading room!
An ordinary looking dresser "magically" opens up to contain a hidden safe! My only question is: Don't robbers usually look in drawers anyways? I wonder if this adds an extra security or if it's just for fun!
A bookshelf that pushes back to reveil a secret room! The owner of this home has left the space unfinished for the moment, but wouldn't that make for an awesome library or a home fitness space?
I know many people that use this little trick to their advantage already! Ordinary looking cabinets pull back to show numerous storage options. Clever and clean looking, don't you think?
This has got to be one of my favorites and it reminds me of something I was discussing with my Facebook fans a few days ago. Laundry rooms are a necessity, but not all of us necessarily want this space to be prominent in the home. This cabinet, turned laundry room is such a great idea to hide that little space away from the rest of the world!
Simple and clever indeed. For those of you with little ones running around, you understand the usefulness of this one!
The last one I found was another stairs option. What a great secret space, and a great way to use often-wasted space!
Which secret spaces are your favorites? Do you have any secret spaces in your home? Please comment and share your thoughts and experiences below!

This may sound a little ridiculous but we are moving back to my old apartment that Cony and I lived in for a week. We were filling up his car one day and realized we were going to be spending over $400 a month on gas. And that's if the gas prices don't go up.
So I called the apartment the next day and they said we just had to pay a transfer fee because it's the same company. We put our money down on a one bedroom that would allow us to move at the end of June. However, Erica (the temp worker) said she didn't realize but that apartment had already been leased out. I was stressed because the only other one bedroom available made it so we would have to move next week. I said "I can't do that"! We had just given our 30 day notice and I didn't want to pay double rent. So after a slight melt down with Ariana on the phone she got our apartment manager (currently) to let us move next weekend without any penalties.
It's working out very lovely ... until of course we have to actually move all our stuff! I'll post pictures once we get settled in. :)

Memorial Day Weekend
I'll be honest, yesterday on Memorial Day I didn't give a lot of thought to the reason we have the holiday... until today. I'm so thankful I live in America and we have our freedom. I know the reason we have that freedom is because of the men and woman who have fought and still fighting for it! So THANK YOU to all you veterans!!!
Technically Cony is a veteran so I'm a little surprised that we didn't put much thought into this beautiful day. But we celebrated together by babysitting for the entire weekend in a home we both LOVE (we were living the high life) and swimming/barbecuing with friends.
Oh! We took the boys (we babysat) to see Indiana Jones movie and I didn't care for it.. I would have never put aliens in a Indiana film. Stephen Spielberg should have asked for my opinion before he wrapped up the production.

Wedding Pictures
Since I'm a terrible friend and terrible at communicating, some of my friends still do not know that I'm married. Considering we practically ran off and didn't even have family (except Emily & Jordan) at the ceremony, I can't remember who knows and who doesn't.
So I'm posting some wedding pictures that our good friend Erin took afterwards. We are still hoping to have a small celebration with family when we are sealed in the Atlanta LDS Temple in the next few months... so we'll have more wedding pictures when that day comes. Stay tuned..

Name ALL 50 States
Cony loves to play only a handful of games, one being 'Name All 50 States'. It's not as easy as it may seem. We have played in on road trips, but last night we were just chillin' in bed playing this game, Cony won getting 43 verses my 41! However, I think he counted wrong on purpose.
Next time, don't be so confindent Mr. Cony, because I might just surprise you...and to make sure things are done fairly, I will keep count myself.

Out of Touch..
I have had the wonderful opportunity to act as Women's Captain for Georgia State University Crew the last year. There have been some ups and downs, but all came with a learning experience. It was just a crazy year.. and that is not an under statement.
We had our End of the Year Banquet last Tuesday and I planned it, with some help from Megan Davidson.. bless her heart she is one of the best women I know. This banquet was like planning a wedding. So I was completely in my element. I think it went well, unfortunately I do not have any pictures, except of me and Emily.
However, Charity and I have been wanting to get into the wedding business for a long while, but just don't' know how!!! Talent, check.. money, no check.. ideas, check..business plans, no check.. and the list goes on. When Cony goes to Law school in the next year, unless I have a baby by that time, I will be the sole provider. Here lies the problem... I don't have a college degree, at least not a Bachelors, so I feel like there aren't a lot of jobs out there for me. Especially ones that would help make me feel worth while.
Anyhow.. life is grand, it's a roller coaster but we're enjoying the ride. :)

With good food, elegant atmosphere, and great company, it felt
just like a cozy family dessert – with a very big family – on
More than a dozen students from Mount Saint Mary College's Aging
United club and the Delta Leadership Society recently shared
cookies, cake, and camaraderie with residents at Johnes-Holden Home
in Newburgh, NY. After dessert, the students treated residents to a
round of Thanksgiving crafts.
Aging United President Nick Marano of Merrick, NY said club
members were excited to celebrate Thanksgiving with Johnes-Holden
Home residents.
"We're letting them know: We really do care about you, and
respect you, and thank you for all you've done," explained Marano.
"Our current society is possible because of them…which we sometimes
take for granted today."
Aging United is sponsored by the Mount's Center on Aging and
Policy (CAP). Established in 2006, CAP is dedicated to excellence
in research and scholarship in the field of gerontology. It is a
national resource for the Area Agencies on Aging.
Including Marano, Aging United members were: Anna Salvatore of
East Lyme, CT; Rachel Berglund of Vernon, CT; Margaret Taft of
Cortlandt Manor, NY; Jennifer Stosch of North Babylon, NY; Kimberly
Marchetti of Poughkeepsie, NY; Heather Nolan of New Hyde Park, NY;
Kerri Hennessy of East Northport, NY; Emily Tompkins of
Poughkeepsie, NY; Samantha Popel of Milford, CT; and Brenna Kennedy

Aug. 26, 2005
Santa Barbara, Calif. - There is no doubt that UC Santa Barbara's run to the 2004 NCAA Division I National Championship match capped the best season in Gaucho soccer history. Now, with the program entering its 40th season, the question is: "Where do they Gauchos go from here?" The obvious answer is back to the top, to claim the National Championship trophy that they lost in penalty kicks to champions Indiana after battling the Hoosiers to a 1-1 double-overtime tie.
Those in the college soccer community have already given a partial response to the question as UCSB begins the 2005 season with a No. 4 NSCAA preseason national ranking, along with numerous other preseason accolades. However, beginning the season near the top is foreign territory for the Gauchos who prior to 2002 had been ranked nationally just once in their first 36 years of existence.
Seventh-year head coach Tim Vom Steeg, the 2004 NSCAA National Coach of the Year, does not need to be reminded of where the program has come from. "This year what we need to do as a team is build upon what our players over the last several years have left us with and continue to player better soccer," said Vom Steeg. "Whether or not that is to win a National Championship is still to be answered, but now that we have achieved the success on the national level that we have, we need to do our part to stay there."
Although UCSB lost a handful of the program's best players to graduation, it still returns 14 letterwinners and six starters from last year's squad that went a nation's second-best 21-3-1. With a roster highlighted by seniors and team tri-captains Nate Boyden, Pat Scott, and Bryan Byrne, the Gauchos are also ushering in a stellar recruiting class. "Soccer wise, this year's team is the most talented that I have ever had as a coach," said Vom Steeg.
Offensive Midfield
With the departure of All-American Drew McAthy and First Team All-Big West honoree Neil Jones, UCSB's offense will look dramatically different in 2005. Shouldering most of the load in the beginning will be M.A.C. Hermann Candidate and Canadian International midfielder Tyler Rosenlund. The 2004 Freshman All-American returns after having developed into one of the nation's top midfielders towards that latter half of 2004. Roaming the middle of the park with Rosenlund will by a pair of newcomers in freshman Eric Avila, member of the U.S. Under-18 National Team and junior Eric Frimpong, both of whom posses excellent ball control skills and offensive prowess. Junior college transfer Albert Rios adds to the depth of the offensive side of the midfield, giving Santa Barbara an experienced reserve in the wings.
Up top the Gauchos return seniors Jonathan Davis and Ivan Becerra, a tandem that caused fits for the opposition's defense during last year's NCAA Tournament. Davis returns as the team's leading scorer with six goals and three assists in 2004. Becerra comes back after setting up what proved to be UCSB's two biggest goals in last year's NCAA Tournament, the game-winner at UNC Greensboro and the game-tying tally against Indiana. With his speed, sophomore Andrew Proctor will once again be a vital asset to the Gaucho attack. This time, however, he has a year under his belt and the experience of playing alongside some of the top forwards college soccer has had to offer in recent years. With freshmen Paul Kierstead and Nick Perera thrown into the mix, Vom Steeg has the option of going "big" in the box with both players standing 6-3.
Wide Midfield
The outside midfield spots are where the most competition seems to be taking place early on, with Byrne and sophomores Brennan Tennelle and Matt Williams the early favorites. Byrne has solidified his spot after making his way into the starting lineup towards the second half of last season. When coupled with Tennelle, they give the Gauchos a tremendous amount of speed on the flanks. Williams has great ball control skills and savvy, giving him an edge. He also has the ability to play any position in the midfield. Freshmen Jon Curry and Chris Pontius will also be involved in the midfield, providing a different look with more size and strength on the outside should it be needed.
Defense, as is always the case with a Vom Steeg-coached team, will once again be a strong point for UCSB. With the obvious hole left by All-American Tony Lochhead's graduation, anchoring the backline in the middle will be Soccer America and College Soccer News Preseason All-American Andy Iro who returns for the Gauchos after earning Freshman All-American and College Cup All-Tournament honors in 2004. Showing just how dominant he was, when the then freshman was on the pitch last season UCSB posted a microscopic 0.31 goals against average, allowing just seven goals in over 2060 minutes. Iro will be flanked on the outside by Scott, a First Team All-Big West honoree in 2004, on the right, and junior Jeff Murphy, who returns from the 2003 Sweet 16 squad, on the left. Sophomore Myles Davis could also see some time on the backline after appearing in 15 games as a freshman before suffering an injury near the midpoint of the season. Duke transfer Kyle Kaveny and freshman Patrick Monahan will both add size and depth to the UCSB defense, a luxury that the Gauchos sorely missed near the end of last season when injuries and player availability issues popped-up.
Defensive Midfield
The defensive midfield position will be as solid as ever for Santa Barbara with Boyden returning for his fifth season with the Gauchos. A Second Team All-Big West selection in 2004, his knowledge of the game and his ability to control the defense has been a pivotal component of UCSB's success over the past several years. Freshman Alfonso Motagalvan, a two-time NSCAA High School All-American, played well beyond his years in the preseason, giving the Gauchos the option of utilizing tandem defensive midfielders without any apprehension. Also back at the D-mid spot is senior Chris Hughes who, with his incredible speed and strength, has the proven ability to individually shutdown an opponent's attacking player.
But as is the case with all defenses, it is the last line of defense that is the biggest key. And while the Gauchos lost their all-time shutout leader in All-American Dan Kennedy, the goalkeeper position is in safe hands. Junior Kyle Reynish will be manning the pipes for UCSB this year for the first time as its starting goalkeeper. With ten total matches under his belt he has allowed just one goal in over 425 minutes of play in his career, registering three wins in the process. Freshmen Ryan Kenny and Brenden Baca are both battling it out for the backup position.
Coaching Staff
And Santa Barbara did not just take the necessary steps to maintain its status as one of the nation's elite on the field, Vom Steeg made improvements outside the lines as well. Back for his fifth season with the Gauchos is assistant coach Leo Chappel who last season was named the NSCAA Western Region Assistant Coach of the Year. Also returning is goalkeeper coach Ryan Sparre who is back for his sixth season with the Gauchos having produced one of the nation's top keepers in Kennedy. What's new to the coaching staff this year is addition of assistant coach Grant Porter. A standout player at North Carolina, Porter helped lead the Tarheels to the national title in 2001.
On paper it would appear that UCSB has put the pieces in place to retain its status as a national power. But then again, that's why you play the games. What's on paper doesn't matter, it's how you perform on the pitch that matters. So when the Gauchos put their pieces together through the course of the 2005 season the question will be answered, and the answer could very well be another long run through the NCAA Tournament.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - More than 100 people out of work after Gov. Rick Scott signed the Internet cafe ban last week gathered to protest Wednesday morning as they filed for unemployment benefits.
The protest was held outside the WorkSource building on Norwood Avenue.
Robin Rukab said as soon as Scott signed the ban, the computers went offline at her Lucky 7 Internet Cafe on the Westside.
"We weren't notified that he was signing. No one notified us," Rukab said. "Our service was just cut. Frontier, our service vendor, must have known and they cut our service."
With Lucky 7 and Copacabana on Norwood Avenue closing, people who worked there no longer have work.
"Did he think about all the people who lost jobs? No he did not," Rukab said. "And that's what he ran on. And now he turned around. In Jacksonville, at least 600 people lost jobs."
"It's hurtful," said Teresa Windham, who could be homeless after losing her job at an Internet café. "I go to bed every night crying, not knowing where my kids are going to sleep, if we're going to have a roof over our head."
Former employees said they feel like they've been unfairly targeted for the Allied Veterans of the World racketeering scandal. They believe lawmakers are jumping the gun, punishing them for an isolated illegal operation.
"We are more than willing to be taxed in this industry," Rukab said. "The state of Florida could get up to $200 million in revenue from taxes. That's not including unemployment taxes that we would pay."
But state Sen. John Thrasher, who spearheaded this legislation, said it doesn't target anyone, it just defines what legal gambling is in Florida.
"I don't think any of us who care about this great state want to condone illegal activity," Thrasher said. "And it may not have been their choice or they may not have understood it was illegal, but I hope they find other suitable work or these facilities retool these kinds of machines they had. So they're legal machines and people can continue to work there."
Windham said she hopes Florida lawmakers, including Scott, will hear her story and reconsider the shutdowns.
"When you're taking away innocent people's job away from them and they don't know where they're going to wake up, if they have to get out, or you know, they don't know where they're going to get their next meal from, that's not right," Windham said.
A spokesman for the governor released this statement Wednesday:
"The Legislature did the right thing to crack down on illegal gaming operators in light of the multi-state Allied Veterans criminal conspiracy. Governor Scott's top priority continues to be creating more jobs and opportunities for Florida Families. Florida's private sector has created nearly 300,000 jobs since he's been Governor and our unemployment rate continues to drop."

Can prostate tumors spread from the biopsy?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Does puncturing a prostate tumor for biopsy cause the cancer to leak out of the tumor to other parts of the body?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
This is a common concern and it has been reported for some tumors such as melanoma, breast, pancreas, bile duct, testicle and ovary. It is rarely reported in tumors such as lung and colon and has not been reported in prostate cancer, lymphomas or brain tumors. In essence, the surgeon will biopsy a tumor because they need to know what they are dealing with and how to plan their operation. If it is one of the tumors that is at risk for seeding the biopsy track they will excise a small piece of skin as well as the track at the time of surgery. For the other ones, they don't need to do it. For lung and colon it appears that the smaller needle used for cytology has very little if any risk for seeding, while a larger core needle used in some other cancers does carry a small risk. However, the risk is very small, and it would not be recommended to forgo a biopsy in light of this extremely small risk.

I've been entranced by this magical, food-laden, sensual film since the first time I layed eyes on it! If I remember right, I saw it on Valentine's Day...many, many years ago...when it first came out in theaters. With the hubs. Before he was the hubs. I've owned it for many years on dvd, as well...and pull it out every six months or so to be transported to that tranquil little village that gets turned upside down...shaken up...and lands right back on its feet...better for the ware! I was glad to see so many people join in our first pick here at Food 'n Flix...most of whom already held a special place in their movie stack for their own copy...and a few who watched it for the first time!! So, without further ado...let's check out what Chocolat inspired in everybody this month...
One quest I've (Heather from girlichef) been on for some time now is find the perfect chocolate cake. I baked up this Chocolate Cake with Chile & Espresso in hopes that I would find the one (the one that looks like Vianne's)....it was good, "but not my favorite."
|Chocolate Cake w/ Chiles & Espresso from girlichef
Christy from Fudge Ripple made a "warm chocolate sauce with a bit of a kick that becomes a bit chewy when it hits the cold shock of ice cream." She thought Roux would approve...I'm positive he would!!
|Chocolate Roux from Fudge Ripple
Angie from Cocina Diary not only bakes up a gorgeous Chocolate Ricotta Soufflé in honor of Chocolat, she also conquered a nemesis along the way! I'd love to sink my spoon into that masterpiece!
|Chocolate Ricotta Soufflé from Cocina Diary
If you know me, you know my love of molé...and Joanne from Eats Well with Others dug deep and finally made some of that gorgeous sauce she's been "meaning" to make for years. Chiles, raisins, nuts...and chocolate, of course...in Jo's Red Molé. Drool.
|Red Molé from Eats Well with Others
My partner in crime here at Food 'n Flix... Ree of Milk, Sugar, Musings & Love made some drop-dead awesome sounding homemade Chocolate Graham Crackers. You do not know how long I stared at the screen willing some live-action Wonka-vision to come into play!!
|Chocolate Graham Crackers from Milk, Sugar, Musings & Love
Next up we've got Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies wondering where she can find her very own Irish Pirate to feed chocolate nibbles to...and maybe even some of her mouth-watering Giant Heart-Shaped Brownie. Awesome!
|Giant Heart-Shaped Brownie from Living in the Kitchen with Puppies
Next up is Deb from Kahakai Kitchen who just so happens to be in the midst of her Eat Local Challenge uses locally grown Hawaiian chocolate to make these oh-so-decadent Pots Au Chocolat.
|Pots Au Chocolat from Kahakai Kitchen
Brenda from Brenda's Canadian Kitchen baked up some tempting Chunky Chocolate Toffee Cookies after she watched Chocolat...and got hooked (sorry. not really.) on the movie after putting off watching it for so long! Welcome to the club ;)
|Chunky Chocolate Toffee Cookies from Brenda's Canadian Kitchen
Although Kim from Stirring the Pot went through a few...hmmm...shall we say...trials, while in the kitchen preparing a batch of what was meant to be meringues...she was comforted by the unexpected result of some amazing-looking Mexican Chocolate Meringue Truffles!

For Tom Burns, the director of Perkins Observatory in Delaware County, the harbinger of spring is seeing the constellation Leo the lion rising in the early evening in the southeastern sky.
For Tom Burns, the director of Perkins Observatory in Delaware County, the harbinger of spring is seeing the constellation Leo the lion rising in the early evening in the southeastern sky.
When people say that March came in like a lion, as it did this year, it is an obvious reference to Leo, Burns said,
In mythology, Leo was a real lion who was the pet of Hera. She was the queen of the gods and the wife of Zeus, the king of the gods.
Leo lived in a cave near the Greek city Nemea and had the bad habit of snacking on the local residents, Burns said.
The Nemeans could do nothing about it because Leo�s hide was so tough that their spears and arrows bounced off him. So they asked Hercules, a very large, strong and courageous mythological character, for help in dispatching Leo. Hercules was the illegitimate son of Zeus and a mortal woman and, therefore, was half god and half human.
Hera hated Hercules because he was the result of her husband�s relationship with another woman. She plagued Hercules throughout time. For instance, when Hercules was only an infant, Hera sent two huge serpents to kill him, but Hercules killed them both with his pudgy little hands, Burns said. Even as a baby, he was very strong.
When Hercules eventually attempted to kill Leo, he found that his arrows and spears also bounced off the beast. �And so he had to kill the lion the old-fashioned way, by grabbing it around the neck and choking him to death; and, therefore, the Nemeans were saved,� Burns said.
Hercules killed several of Hera�s pets over the years, and she considered him a bitter enemy, Burns said.
After he killed Leo, Hercules skinned the great lion and wore its hide over his shoulders as a coat of armor with the lion�s great head over his own, making him appear even more fearsome.
It is no coincidence that the constellation Hercules rises in the eastern sky soon after Leo. By midnight, they are both high in the southern sky and then set in the southwest as the morning dawns.
Burns told me he is not thrilled when spring arrives. �I don�t mind nature�s cycles, but daylight saving time is a bit too much for me because it tacks on extra daylight on the end of the day, and I can�t see the stars,� he said.
�In high summer, for a program (of star gazing) at Perkins, you have to start so late, it�s 11 p.m. before it�s dark enough to observe the stars,� he said.
�In July, we don�t even do any nighttime programs because there is no nighttime then.�

Eligibility and Prerequisites
Unless otherwise stated, second- third- and fourth-year students in good academic standing (having completed thirty credits as a part-time student or two semesters as a full-time student) are eligible to practice law under the Student Practice Order and may apply for any of the programs. Preference will usually be given to students entering their final year of law school (third-year full-time, fourth-year part-time, students).
Please read course descriptions carefully and make sure that you have satisfied any necessary course prerequisites or requested a waiver on your application.
All participants in JJLS client representation clinics and externship programs must avoid conflicts of interest based on past or concurrent employment (or volunteer work) situations. If you have questions about a potential conflict, please consult Professor Flint.
Please assume that you will need an average of 5 hours /credit of time per week, in addition to the two-hour seminar, for Clinic work. Some weeks it will be much less, and others, much more; the key is to carve out significant blocks of time during the week that you can devote to clinic work.
One important point: a lawyer's obligations, like a doctor's, do not disappear on weekends and over holidays. Students in client representation clinics and externships must be prepared to continue handling their responsibilities throughout exam and break periods. The faculty will help you develop the knack of adroit scheduling, and cooperation with colleagues can minimize these conflicts, but it still may happen that a court appearance will cause you to miss a class or that a crucial meeting with an adversary will occur during a break.
For a semester I had a judicial clerkship with a federal judge. I researched issues, wrote bench memoranda on contracts and torts, and sat in on criminal cases. It enhanced my writing and editing skills. As part of a judicial clerkship mentoring program, I wrote a decision, based on the facts of a real case, that served as my resume. It led to a two-year clerkship with a federal magistrate in Connecticut.
The Barbara C. Salken Criminal Justice Clinic operates in conjunction with the Bronx County Legal Aid Society, and students in that program must plan to have at least one full day per week available to spend in court.
The Equal Justice America Disability Rights/Health Law Clinic is designed to accommodate both day-division and evening-division students, for between four and six credits per semester. The four-credit option involves about 10-12 hours per week of work in addition to seminar. The six credit option involves on average 20 hours of work per week.
The Investor Rights Clinic seminar meets in the day, but most of the Clinic work can be done in the evening. A hearing or negotiation, usually scheduled long in advance, may occasionally occur during the workday. With the permission of the professors, students may elect up to three clinical credits, in addition to seminar, for each of the two required semesters. The one-credit option entails about five hours, the two-credit option about ten hours, and the three-credit option about fifteen hours per week of clinical work in addition to seminar.
Scheduling your time for the Immigration Justice Clinic is generally quite flexible, since appearances in proceedings are relatively rare.
Students in the Neighborhood Justice Clinic typically meet and appear in court during the day, although some client meetings may be scheduled in the evening.
While the externship program seminars meet in the late afternoon or evening, students must be able to work during the day at the externship sites. All the externships require work at least 12 hours per week away from the Law School, except for the Family Court Externship, which requires 8 hours.
The Pretrial Civil Litigation Simulation is an intensive program of simulated civil litigation, involving significant work (probably four to six hours per week on average) outside "class" hours. Other simulation and lawyering skills courses, such as Interviewing, Counseling and Negotiating, do not require a special application and are recommended for second-year (full-time) or third-year (part-time) students.

A fiery crash hours after the Super Bowl killed relatives of San Francisco 49ers tight end Delanie Walker, Louisiana State Police said Wednesday.
The crash at about 5:30 a.m. Monday killed Alice and Bryan Young Sr. of Victorville, Calif., Trooper Melissa Matey said.
Walker said in a Twitter posting that his aunt and uncle of the same name were killed "by a drunk" at 5 a.m. Monday. The message's subject line read, "Horrible."
"We extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to Delanie and his family as they grieve this tragedy," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. "Our organization is here to support Delanie through this tough time, as we do with all of our players and staff. At this time, we will respect their family's privacy and ask others to do so as well."
Matey said the Youngs' vehicle was stopped on the shoulder of Interstate 10 in LaPlace, just west of New Orleans, when it was hit by a car driven by 26-year-old Nechole T. Thomas of Houston.
Her 2002 Mercedes slammed their 2012 Nissan Altima from behind at high speed, Matey said. Both cars caught fire and the Youngs' bodies were not found until the blaze was out.
Matey said it took until Wednesday afternoon for the coroner to identify the Youngs.
Thomas escaped with minor injuries and was jailed on charges of reckless driving, drunken driving and two counts of vehicular homicide — a death involving a drunken driver. Her bond is set at $300,000.
Online jail records do not indicate whether she has an attorney.

I think it'd work better to use it on clean skin, and then there's the added bonus of the deoderant not getting funky. Maybe buy disposible pre-moistened towelletes (and cut them into little pieces if they're big) to wipe up your armpits? Or, if you're at home, just take your shirt off and wash-up with a washcloth and towel? I've done that before.
I fell asleep before applying on night and applied in the morning and didn't wash. Now the funk seems to be permanently attached to the stick. Usually I apply straight out of the shower.

When I was cleaning my house and saw all off my books, I asked myself a question: 'What are the benefits of reading'? So I did some research.
In former times reading was an important habit to relax. Nowadays the television is the new book. Watching television is a lot easier, because reading consumes more energy. You have to use your imagination to visualize every paragraph. Television does that for you.
1. Recreation.
Reading is a good way to relax. While reading you're not in your living room any more, but in a whole new world. It is good to read before you go to sleep. You will fall asleep faster, because of the energy it takes. When you lose yourself in a great story, stress will slip away. Allow yourself to relax.
2. Health
Studies have shown us that reading helps you to stay mentally fit. It slows the progress of Alzheimer and Dementia. The brain is like a muscle. It has to stay active to prevent it from losing power.
3. Learning new things
Reading is tiring, but it is good for you. You will learn new words and a lot more.
You don't have to read mere informative books to learn something about history. Some books are situated in the past, therefore you learn about specific subjects.
You can watch an informative program on television of course, but studies shown us that reading helps us to remember things better.
There are a lot more benefits of reading. These three were my favorites. Keep reading!
