Oilers Q & A with Kevin Smith
by Marc Ciampa & Steve Taylor / Edmonton OilersKevin Smith (right) as his Silent Bob character.
| ||
Smith, who recently finished directing "A Couple of Dicks" with Bruce Willis, has always found a way to include hockey in his movies - great films such as Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and Zack & Miri Make a Porno - so it's not a huge stretch that his next film, Hit Somebody, will be a movie about hockey.
Smith recently took the time to answer questions about hockey, the Oilers, visiting Edmonton and more.
Q: Growing up in New Jersey, what was it that originally made you a hockey fan?
A: When the Devils opened their doors, my Mother was working for one of the team doctors; so we'd get free tickets and game-used sticks. But it wasn't 'til I started hanging out with my friend Walt Flanagan in 89 that I became a real puck-head. Not only were were going to games, but we were playing every weekend as well: tennis court ball hockey. Having zero skating or puck-handling ability, I was thrown in net, where I stayed from 89 to 95.
Q: What are some of your earliest hockey memories and some of your favourite players growing up?
A: Sean Burke was a fave, of course. And Kenny Daneyko.
Q: It's very clear that you have an affinity for Wayne Gretzky and the 1980s Oilers teams. What first caught your eye about those great teams from the 80s?
A: That's a recent affinity. I had what I can only describe as a kinda of breakdown last year; a pretty dark time for me. And in the midst of this, I watch this CBC doc "Hockey: A People's History". And it's so beautifully written and directed, I fall in love with the game again; I reconnect with hockey in a big way. The doc covers the Gretzky era as well, and his story, as well as the story of the Edmonton Oilers, really captured my imagination in this almost childlike way. Walter Gretzky's "Don't go where the puck is; go where it's gonna be" became something of a mantra for me, and I derived what I can only describe as spiritual inspiration from the fact that, 25 years ago in Edmonton, these kids put it together and did the impossible: brought a Stanley Cup home to their tiny market Canadian town. It became a sort of religion for me: blaze and watch "The Boys on the Bus" or any number of Gretzky profiles. And maybe I was just blazing too often, or maybe I simply needed someone/something to look up to for a change - someone or something that had nothing to do with my work/world. Whatever the reason, this quarter century old legendary hockey club started playing a HUGE role in my daily life.
It was probably solidified the moment I pulled on a Reebok Oilers t-shirt I'd ordered from Sears Canada and had sent to my friend Malcolm's place in time for the Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament last June. I was Googling an Oilers shirt in my size and found them in exactly one place: Sears Canada. I sweat like a pig, so I'd ordered seven and had totally forgotten about them until I got to Brantford, Ontario to play street hockey for the first time in fifteen years (at age 38). Malcolm dropped a box by my hotel room the morning I'd gotten into town, day one of the tourney. And as I was getting dressed, I suddenly had a panic attack: what was I doing? I hadn't gotten between the pipes in over a decade... and I wasn't in shape back THEN. And people were gonna be watching; and worse - SHOOTING VIDEO OF MY FAT-ASS IN GOAL. And just as I was about to call it quits, I opened the box to see all those Edmonton Oilers shirts. And they were beautiful: dark blue tees with a massive Oilers crest in the dead-center. And as goofy as it sounds, I was inspired by that dopey shirt. I pulled one on under my gear and threw myself out into my first (and VERY public) outing in net in fifteen years.
And it was awesome. I actually did not suck. It was the shirt(s). Had to be.
So now, I view those seven shirts as pretty powerful talismans. Whenever I step on stage now, I'm wearing one of those Oilers t-shirts. While I was shooting this flick "A Couple of Dicks" this summer, any time I needed an extra push or a simple totem to ward off evil, I wore one of my Oilers t-shirt. I keep all seven pretty obsessively accounted for because I now believe my entire well-being, both professionally and personally, to be tied up in those shirts.
Yes, I realize I may, indeed, be certifiable. But whatever works, y'know?
Q: Does any particular moment from the 1980s Oilers stand out for you more than any other?
A: The first Cup win still makes me cry.
Q: You remarked in your Twitter account that you finally wanted to visit Edmonton and see an Oilers game live. Was there anything in particular that made you decide you wanted to finally see the Oilers?
A: 2009 marks the 25th Anniversary of the first Cup win. I felt like I wanted to quietly observe it in my own personal way, so I looked at the schedule and realized the Yotes game would put Gretzky and Kevin Lowe in the same building at the same time, and that would be good enough for me (naturally, this was before all the weirdness with the League, Gretzky, and the Coyotes). So I booked a Q&A in Edmonton for around that time and put it into my schedule. Sure, Gretzky won't be there (neither will Lowe, who's scouting prospects on the road), but that wasn't the make-or-break part of the equation anyway; more about visiting Mecca, so to speak.
Q: Have you ever been to Edmonton before?
A: I've done two or three Q&A's at the Winspear in Edmonton - all before my Oilers conversion. The gig at the Meyer Horowitz the night before that Yotes game is gonna be religious because I've got a LONG story I tell about seeing the light, as it were.
Q: All of your movies have had hockey featured in it at one point or another but your next project - Hit Somebody - will be an entire movie based on the sport. What made you decide to finally make a movie on hockey?
A: It's just time. And man, is it gonna be the bomb (God-willing, not A bomb). I'm gonna wear my Oilers tees everyday of the shoot.

Although Portland has, from what I've heard, the highest broadband utilization per capita of the top 50 cities in the US, the poor neighborhoods are still poor neighborhoods.

Some existing public media could use help -- through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting -- to build up our educational, public service radio and television systems on new media platforms. They've proved themselves in serving children, voters, diverse communities, and all age groups. I encourage free citizen-driven communication free from commercial imperatives -- but with a professional counterpart to provide training, modeling, organization and leadership. Our local public media institutions can serve this role.

about Public Access TV
We need to know how our government is doing to protect the public interest instead of the big corporations interest. We need to see local policy debates, we need a clean election process. We don't have access to any of these information. But most of all we need to get rid of this new career named "lobbyist". They are good only to damage the population interest. There are too many of them and the government needs to do something.

Laramie, WY - and the rest of the US too
To what extent is government intervention in media constitutional -- especially now that we have the Internet, where there's no shortage of ink or newsprint? Is regulating media consistent with the Commission's notion of having an "open Internet," in which everyone's voice can compete?
By the way: here in Wyoming (as in several other states), state law mandates that government chooss a "newspaper of record" in each city for public notices. According to the now-antiquated law, it must be an ink-and-paper newspaper, and due to the limited population and limited available revenue (the revenue from the public notices is what…

As a former employee of two wireless carriers and a wireless handset supplier/chip maker who help usher in digital voice & data to the industry - I have firsthand knowledge of what cell phones and data devices can and can't do.
Land line termination fees were historically the largest cost to carriers. As more and more data-centric plans evolve- one would assume that consumer cost would come down. In contrast - consumers are paying more for service, handsets, termination fees and are now being required to purchase specific plans to utilize specific phones.

From RadioArte in Chicago, a view from the bottom and a call for more diverse/independent media!
Hello my name is Martin Macias Jr from Radio Arte, a Latino public radio station that offers media training and opportunities for members of the community to report on issues important to them. Its located in Pilsen, a historically working class/immigrant community. I will speak about the southwest Chicago region as a whole. Coming from a community media station has allowed me to view the changing media landscape with the voices and ideas of our listeners/neighbors in mind.
This region of the city has many media options for its residents which, collectively has one of the largest concentrations of latino/hispanic…

Frederick County, MD - WFMD 930AM (Aloha Station Trust, LLC) Public News Radio
Something isn't right in Frederick County, Maryland. 930WMD and Aloha Stations Trust, LLC have gone too far with their political practices on Public Interest Radio. We need the FCC to look into it.
Frederick County, Maryland is a small but growing rural community situated 50 miles from our nation's capitol, Washington, DC. It is a community with a strong dedication to its people, farming and conservative values. By virtue of location Frederick County is also a growing community, welcoming cultural diversity, art, science and business both large and small.

Democrats are in the majority here. Yet our local AM station, WADK, refuses to air anything but right wing wacko talk and bland drivel. Ergo, most listen to the morning news & weather, then shut it off in favor of NPR. I would love to be able to listen to progressive talk on the radio, but it simply isn't available.

With the demise of small owner radio we lost the only progressive radio outlet in Southwest Ohio. A very conservative owner bought out the station and then destroyed the audience by changing the call letters and frequency with zero advertising. We need a more balanced free radio system.

This DIY light uses white glowsticks and some thin PVC tubing to create a portable wand you can use to illuminate any subject and grab a good shot, even in the middle of the night. Best of all, no batteries or power required. Advertisement This tip comes from Simon Ellingsworth, award winning photographer and author of the photography education blog Lightism, and he walks you through the process of building the light wand in the video above. It's a pretty quick and simple process, and the container for the wand is reusable for as many glowsticks as you have or choose to use at a time. You can use fewer for softer lighting, or really pile them in there for something brighter.The best part of this is that while traditional lighting gear would be better if you're planning to stay out and shoot in the dark or in low light for long periods, this wand produces a softer light that could be just as fun to play with if you're looking for a way to add interest to your shots. Hit the link below for more details, links to buy the glowsticks, and a walkthrough of how to make the light, complete with all of the parts you'll need.

Steelers agree to terms with seventh-round pick Toney Clemons
The Steelers have agreed to terms with the first of their four seventh-round draft picks from the 2012 NFL Draft, wide receiver Toney Clemons. Financial terms of the three-year deal were not disclosed.
Clemons (6-2, 210), who was the 231st overall pick, is from Pittsburgh and attended Valley High School. He spent the first two years of his collegiate career at the University of Michigan before transferring to the University of Colorado. As a senior he was named by the coaches as the co-recipient of Colorado's John Mack Award as the team's most outstanding offensive player.
Last season Clemons led the Buffaloes in receiving yards (680) and was second in receptions (44) as well as average yards per catch (15.8 avg.). Clemons' team-high eight touchdown receptions tied for the fourth-most in a single season in school history. He recorded 476 receiving yards and three 100-yard receiving games in his final five games at Colorado.

Hofstra's Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, UConn transfer, done for season
Hofstra coach Mo Cassara confirmed to CBSSports.com that UConn transfer Jamal Coombs-McDaniel won't play this season due to knee issues.
Coombs-McDaniel was slated to be an impact player for Cassara after sitting out last season, but was suspended for the start of the season and has been unable to practice due to lingering knee problems. He had surgery shortly after leaving UConn and another this past offseason.
The 6-foot-7 versatile forward averaged 5.6 points as a reserve on the national title team two years ago.
Cassara's team is now extremely thin -- with just seven scholarship players. The Pride lost Coombs-McDaniel and four players -- including talented freshman Jimmy Hall and Hawaii transfer Shaquille Stokes -- for the season after they were arrested and charged with dormitory burglaries.
Hofstra (3-8) plays Tulane on Saturday in New York.

The third-ranked Duke women's golf team opened the ACC Championship on Thursday with a seven-over-par, 291, and sits tied first along with Virginia with 36 holes remaining at the 6,107-yard, par 71 Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
Duke, the reigning back-to-back ACC Champions, opened the day with a commanding lead with six birdies over its first four holes, but dropped back as the round went along. Virginia took as big as a two-shot lead late but the Blue Devils carded two birdies on the 486-yard, par five 18th to finish in a tie for first with the Cavaliers.
"I think we learned a little today," said Duke head coach
Dan Brooks
. "We've got two freshmen in our lineup and they were playing some pretty good golf. You have to learn how to play this course. It is one of the toughest courses we play all year. I think we may pick it up a little bit tomorrow."
Rounding out the field was Miami (298), North Carolina (299), Notre Dame (306), Maryland (306), Florida State (306), Clemson (307), NC State (308), Wake Forest (311) and Boston College (335). The teams dealt with frigid temperatures in the morning but warmed up as the day went along. Duke features three golfers in the top seven of the individual leaderboard.
"The greens have some grain in there and are very undulated. It is a Donald Ross course. The wind was blowing and it wasn't real warm, especially in the morning," commented Brooks. "So that's enough to run your score up a little bit. I think tomorrow is going to probably be a similar day, maybe a little warmer. We have today behind us and I think we probably learned a little bit. I am counting on a better day tomorrow."
Coming in with victories over her last two tournaments, sophomore
Celine Boutier
jumped out to an impressive start with three birdies over her first four holes. A native of Montrouge, France, Boutier made the turn with a three-under-par, 32, but suffered bogeys on No. 10, No. 13 and No. 14. She posted four straight pars to close her day, including missing a birdie putt on the 18th. Boutier hit 13 greens, 13 fairways and had 31 putts Thursday.
Florida State's Matilda Castren leads the individual action with a two-under-par, 69. Boutier is tied with Lauren Coughlin and Briana Mao of Virginia for second.
Laetitia Beck
carded a one-over-par, 72, and is tied fifth overall heading into the second round of action. Beck, who is from Caesarea, Israel, opened her day with a par on the first hole and rolled in a short birdie putt on the 385-yard, par four second hole to move to one-under-par. She suffered bogeys on the third, sixth and 10th holes to drop to two-over-par, but closed with a tap in birdie on No. 18 to finish with a 71. Beck hit eight straight greens on the back nine and hit a total of 14 greens on the day, which was impressive as she hit only two fairways. She added 33 putts over the first round.
Posting one of Duke's strongest starts of the day was freshman
Yu Liu
, as she opened with birdies on No. 1 and No. 3 to get to two-under-par. A product of Beijing, China, Liu then bogeyed three straight holes to drop back to one-over-par. She registered seven straight pars, before finishing with three bogeys and two birdies. Liu drained one of only six birdies all day on 445-yard, par five 15th, after hitting her second shot into the greenside bunker. She was on the green in two on the 18th and sank a birdie putt. Liu turned in a 73 for the day and is tied seventh overall. She hit 14 greens, eight fairways and had 35 putts during the first day.
Seeing action in her first ACC Championship, rookie
Sandy Choi
held a one-over-par ledger through 14 holes, but closed with bogeys on No. 15, No. 16 and No. 17 to finish with a 75, which is tied 14th overall. A native of San Diego, Calif., Choi turned in her lone birdie of the day on the 152-yard, par three 12th as she rolled in a six-footer. She hit 12 fairways, 11 greens and had 32 putts in her round.
Alejandra Cangrejo
, who finished second a year ago at the ACC Championship, struggled early on Thursday with double-bogeys on her first two holes. She made the turn with a seven-over-par, 42. Cangrejo, who is from Bogota, Colombia, played her final nine holes at one-over-par, which included a six-foot birdie on the 18th hole on her way to finishing with a 79. She hit seven greens, six fairways and had 32 putts on the day.
The Blue Devils carded a total of 12 birdies Thursday, seven on the front nine and five on the back.
"It helps that the last hole is a par five," Brooks said about finishing strong. "I was glad we picked up some there. Virginia is doing well. We have a completion going on here. It is great."
Duke will tee off on Friday in the second of three rounds beginning at 10:30 a.m., along with Virginia and Miami.

Final Fantasy is a franchise everybody knows and most likely loves. We've seen remakes of nearly every game before 7 (not counting Dirge of Cerebus). Multiple ones of IV especially but finally we get to see III, the one that hasn't seen America for a long time.
The Story is as original as it can be, in it's time atleast. A story of heroic youngsters battling the forces of darkness, saving the world from total destruction. Before, original. Now, not so much. But it still works. Somewhat.
The graphics are the high point of the game. When started up, the player is treated to one hell of a cutscene. Stunning animation, too good for words. And remember that this is the DS, so it isn't PSP quality but it does push the hardware to it's limits. The ingame graphics are polygonial but 3D nontheless and they still look good. The battle animations can get a tad choppy from time to time and when on the overworld, the game tends to lag a bit, it's not that noticible but it's just a bit of an annoyance.
The Sound is very Final Fantasy like, orchaestra music, stunning, amazing. You should know what to expect. The ingame fighting sounds aren't as good as the music but are still better than nothing.
The gameplay is where it separates the casual from the....not casual. It's hardcore in a sense. Without the proper leveling, the game will kick your ass. Monsters will not hesitate to lay the beat down on you and you can only do so much. With only a few options, like attack, magic, item etc., it is a true remake and stays to it's old-school roots. It's brutal, can be frustrating but if you know what to expect, then it wouldn't be too annoying and more fun. The job system, revolutionary in it's time is still well appreciated. Being able to choose from 20 different jobs is immensely fun and it separates it from alot of the other games in the series. The fighting can get a bit tedious but I for one enjoyed it, even after fighting the same enemies while trying to get through a dungeon.
Replay value depends on weather you love the game enough to replay it or just content with what you saw on your first playthrough. The game will take a while to beat, well over 30 hours. An ungodly amount of time longer if you want every single item. The side quests provide some replay value as well as the Moogle Net (needed to get that final class) where both can net you some amazing end-game items.
Overall, this game is a straight up old school RPG, so know what you're getting into. They were more harder before and still are now, even though the story isn't up to par with the other FF games later in the series. Don't get it just because it's pretty, get it because it's one of the greatest RPGs for the DS (is that saying much?).

This was my 4th video that I made and it was a month after "Army Ants"m that I made this master piece. I think the word master piece would be exaguating alittle bit, but at the time this was the shit. I mean I asked my friend Majin Kewl at the time what he would give it out of 10 and he said "It dosen't deserve a 10, it's more like a 12!" Man I was floored when he said that. But now that I look back at it, I see how crappy it was and at this time I was still useing other peoples clips. So for the time this was a kick ass video. Now it's just a classic video in my eyes!

The National Education Association is building a nation of readers through its signature program, NEA's Read Across America. Now in its 16th year, this year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources.
Sure, March is National Frozen Food Month, but for those who would prefer some food for thought without delay, it's also NEA's National Reading Month, as the National Education Association celebrates the 16th year of its Read Across America efforts on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources.
And in a salute to the powers that read–at a time I thought I was making some kind of discernible dent in my books-to-read stacks–along comes The Book Lovers' Companion: What to Read Next (due April 1) and its well-structured rundown of 200 tempting titles to consider or reconsider. Amassed by an array of English literature experts and ardent readers, it's a diverse yet discriminating treasure trove of rewarding books, from classics to bestsellers, along with some more obscure finds–all subject to subjectivity, naturally, with the sins of omission and commission in the eye of the book holder. Limited to full-length books, each entry provides a succinct spoiler-free plot synopsis, background information, a sample of critical or reader response, discussion points, and suggested companion books.
Of course, there are the usual suspects as reflected in the Western canon and required school reading, worthy titles by Twain, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Woolf, Orwell, Lawrence, Lee, and Hawthorne, for example. And though some may find apparent lapses in judgment with conspicuously absent tomes from, say, Steinbeck, Dostoyevsky, Conrad, Wolfe (Thomas and Tom), Proulx, Flaubert, or Zola, it is good to keep in mind that some names may (or still may not) be relegated to the various Top Ten lists strewn throughout Companion, which also serve double duty in capturing many genre titles under-represented in the spotlighted sections.
For example, Raymond Chandler (The Big Sleep) and Dashiell Hammett (The Maltese Falcon) appear in the Top Ten Crime Books, James Thurber (My Life and Hard Times) in Humorous Reads, Charles Dickens (Great Expectations) in World Classics, Edgar Allan Poe (Tales of Mystery and Imagination) in Chilling Reads, James Joyce (Ulysses) in Challenging Reads, and Franz Kafka (Metamorphosis) in Quick Reads. Further accounted for are Isabel Allende (The House of Spirits), Armistead Maupin (Tales of the City), Albert Camus (The Outsider), Ian Fleming (From Russia with Love) in Men's Books, Philip K. Dick (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) in Sci-Fi Books, and Jack Kerouac (On the Road) in Cult Classics. And just to throw true life a bone, there's the Top Ten Non-Fiction Books, which includes The Diary of Anne Frank and Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.
Nevertheless, one may wonder if any of these proven titles—or even some prominent and prize-winning ones hailing from the 1990s or early 2000s such as Don Delillo's Underworld, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, or Annie Proulx' Shipping News–might have been better picks. They're certainly better served as featured mainstays in place of some comparatively new books that crave the critical consensus that time and a more historical perspective can provide. When God Was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman, for example, is a newly minted 2011 release, while both Kathryn Stockett's The Help, and Wolf Hall from Hilary Mantel are from 2009. These all could've been dropped in to an existing or new Top Ten list.
Discussion Points, Background Information, and What the Critics Said or Reader's Opinions—what a great idea to provide one or the other perspective—are a mixed bag but generally helpful and often very revealing. Validating, too, at times: my take on The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold—and my abandonment of it at around page 25—seems justified as Companion notes that "Many (British) critics have accused the book of being saccharine and overly sentimental." At the same time, my perseverance in finishing Donna Tartt's The Secret History, despite a nagging misgiving over an implausible plot point, remains inexplicable.
Three perennially censored books in the U.S. make for further illustrations for the contributions of the book ideas, details, and reaction. I may have been too blinded by "The filthiest book I have ever read … sheer unrestrained pornography" to recall, but Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita–which constitutes a terrific vocabulary builder, by the way–can be read metaphorically with Humbert cast as Old Europe and Lolita as America. And D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, which as late as 1960 was subject of an obscenity trial, tellingly quotes a courtroom source who riddles us thusly: "Ask yourselves the question: would you approve of your young sons, young daughters—because girls can read as well as boys—reading this book? … Is it a book you would wish your wife or servants to read?" I hadn't thought of the servants! Nor will I ever have reason for this consideration. Meanwhile, the entry for Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, duly notes how the book was originally banned by Southern states as subversive. But more currently and foremost, the more PC-centered efforts to ban it in today's schoolrooms should also be noted.
Speaking more generally, a Companion-wide component to provide more informational substance may see a little style in the form of brief excerpts from the works cited. I still remember from years ago the power of the folktale-laced prose of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, and I can imagine that a little passage would go a long way in supporting Companion's recap of Achebe as "the conscience of African literature." Similarly, the talent and craftsmanship that marked David Mitchell's audacious 1999 debut Ghostwritten reaches a stylistic culmination in the elegance and kaleidoscopic plot of 2004's Cloud Atlas, Companion's cited book by Mitchell, begging for a well-chosen extract. And while an excerpt from Ian McEwan's haunting and multi-part Atonement couldn't do his tour de force full justice, a sample from even one of the stylistic forays might signify an effectual slice of the literary life.
One work that is not destined to be in any syllabus, or any library or bookstore, for that matter, is a work prompted by the Gabriel García Márquez submission. Years ago, while placing phone orders for a bookstore I was working at, the customer rep—ostensibly referring to truncated titles on a computer screen—confirmed my order for Love in the Time of Cholesterol.
Then again, maybe she had National Frozen Food Month on her mind.

The fact that a missile can be launched from a ship to successfully intercept an incoming ballistic missile is amazing on itself. But when you launch it at night, creating a small hell on Earth for a few seconds, it's pretty damn cool.

One of the ironies of going gluten-free is that you'll be forced to start eating more whole grains than ever before in your life. Without enriched white flour, you have to turn to more interesting grains. Use these multigrain and gluten-free waffles will actually improve your health. And they taste like more than cardboard.
We both grew up eating Eggos waffles occasionally. If you miss the pop-and eat convenience, you can make up a big batch of these gluten-free waffles ahead of time and freeze them in airtight containers. Bingo—healthful toaster waffles!–Shauna James Ahern and Daniel Ahern
All About Teff Note
This recipe calls for several whole-grain flours, including teff. Teff flour is dark in color and has a taste almost like molasses. Originally from Ethiopia, teff is the smallest grain in the world and is packed with a nutritious wallop: one-quarter cup of whole-grain teff has one-third of the iron you need for the day.—Shauna James Ahern and Daniel Ahern
Gluten-Free Multigrain Waffles Recipe
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) sorghum flour
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) certified gluten-free oat flour (or simply blitz gluten-free oats in a blender until they turn to a very fine powder)
- 1/3 cup (1 ounce) teff flour
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon guar gum
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- Walnut or canola oil or butter, for greasing the pan
- Butter, good Vermont maple syrup, or a homemade fruit compote for serving
- 1. Place the tapioca flour, sorghum flour, oat flour, and teff flour into a small bowl. Stir, then sift through a fine-mesh sieve into a larger bowl. Add the xanthan gum, guar gum, baking powder, salt, and sugar to the flours and combine.
- 2. Place the milk, eggs, and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk together. Add the melted butter and stir again.
- 3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the liquids and stir until combined.
- 4. Now, patience. Let the batter stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before making the waffles. For best results, make the batter the night before you intend to make waffles and refrigerate it overnight.
- 5. Turn on the waffle iron. When it has come to heat, brush both surfaces of the waffle iron with oil or butter. We like walnut oil. Pour about 1/3 cup of the waffle batter onto the waffle iron. Cook until the waffle is well browned. Serve immediately with whatever accoutrement(s) you please. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Variations for other allergies
- Play with other whole-grain flours for this mix—that's what we do each time we make this recipe—but keep the potato starch and sweet rice flour so the mix remains light. If you don't tolerate dairy, you can make these buttermilk-style by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to soy or rice milk and letting it stand for 15 minutes before using, and use extra oil in place of the butter.

In the diagrams, the numbered Places of the Dancers in the Full set, i.e., the Places in which they started the dance, are shown in Times New Roman font; their numbered Places in the Active set, i.e., the Places in which they started the Repeat, are shown in Helvetica font.
On the first time through (the first Repeat), the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Couples dance while the 4th Couple stand in Places.
Conventionally, the dance Finishes with all the Couples back where they started. However, it is more elegant, and has become common practice, for the 4th Couple of the Full set not to Drop to 4th Place at the end of their second Repeat as 1st Couple of the Active set; instead they remain in 3rd Place of the Full set for the chord at the end of the dance.
While this is the most common format, it can confuse the Beginner who needs to be careful to remember which 3 Couples are dancing the current Repeat and which Couple is not. S/he should not be tempted to join in the dancing when s/he is supposed to be Standing still (in 4th Place of the Full set for the odd-numbered Repeats or 1st Place for the even), awaiting the next Repeat when s/he will be involved; more importantly, while dancing a Repeat, s/he should not attempt to include the Couple who are Standing awaiting their turn in the next Repeat.
It may be helpful to remember the order in which the Original Couples of the Full set find themselves at the start of each of the eight Repeats of the complete dance. The Standing Couple is shown in italic; the Active set for each Repeat has the 1st Couple shown in bold face and the Supporting couples (the 2nd and 3rd Couples of the Active set) in roman face:
1s2s3s 4s
2s 1s3s4s
2s3s4s 1s
3s 2s4s1s
3s4s1s 2s
4s 3s1s2s
4s1s2s 3s
1s 4s2s3s
Another way of viewing this Progression is the sequence in which each dancer performs each Place of the 8 Repeats. For the Original 1st Couple this is:
11 43 32 20
where 4 means Standing in 4th Place and 0 means Standing at the Top, in each case while the other three Couples are dancing as the Active set. The Original 4th Couple follow the same sequence starting two Repeats down the list, i.e.,
43 32 20 11
and similarly for the other two Couples.
This rather complicated format does have a counterbalancing benefit for the Beginner and is helpful to the dancer unfamiliar with the particular dance. By starting in 4th Place, s/he can stand and watch the 3rd Lady/Man perform in the first Repeat and briefly memorize this ready to perform that same sequence of Figures in the second and third Repeats. The Figures for the next two Repeats (dancing as 2nd Couple of the Active set) are usually very similar to those for the 3rd Couple of the Active set with Up and Down reversed. Next, s/he stands at the Top and can watch the same Lady/Man perform as the 1st Couple of the Active set and can again briefly memorize this ready to perform that same sequence of Figures in the last two Repeats.
As an encore in dances of this format, usually only one Repeat per Couple is danced ("Once and to the Bottom"). On completing their Repeat, the 1st Couple of the Active set must Drop quickly to 4th Place, using a movement which will not impede the two Couples who need to move Up to start the new Repeat. Again, it has become common practice for 4th Couple not to Drop to 4th Place but instead to stay in 2nd Place at the end of the last Repeat of the encore.
At a Ball, and in order to avoid having keen dancers sitting out, the MC may allow a fifth Couple in one or more Sets; after completing their two Repeats as 1st Couple of the Active set, the Original 1st, 2nd and 3rd Couples Drop to 5th Place; unless the MC advises otherwise, the 4th and 5th Couples should dance as 1st Couple of the Active set once only. Alternatively, the MC may invite three Couples to dance as a "3 Couple Set"; on completing their Repeat, the 1st Couple of the Active set must move quickly Down to 3rd Place and the 3rd Couple of the Active set must move quickly Up to 2nd Place ready to start the new Repeat. The actual movement by the 1st Couple should be chosen to fit with the movements on bar 1 of the next Repeat when the 2nd and 3rd Couples become the new 1st and 2nd Couples.

She had a chance to take the lead on the final day of the season's giant slalom event. Advertisement But then, warm temperatures, wet snow and fog brought about a "soft crust" which led race officials to cancel the event. "It's impossible to ski on such a soft crust. The situation is not suitable for a giant slalom race," race director Atle Skaardal said on the World Cup website.Since World Cup rules mandate no rescheduling, Riesch won the title on the spot, thus ending Vonn's shot at a fourth consecutive title.

Sony Music is the first of the four major record labels to renew its agreement with YouTube, assuring that its artists will remain on the popular video site. Though the financial terms of the deal were not released, it maintains the status quo with regard Sony's property appearing on YouTube. In addition to featuring videos from artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Britney Spears, and Outkast, users' video clips can contain the label's songs. There's no word yet on whether the other three labels will sign in the near future. Universal is reportedly close to working out a deal, but talks between Warner Music and YouTube broke down last month, leading to the removal of all the label's clips from the site. [CNET]

Known by many names, the two most common being Kildownet and Kildavnet, after the town. This tiny tower house, built in the early 1400's on the shore of Achill Island, is not only notable for it's picturesque settings, but also for it's associations with the pirate queen Grace O'Malley. The Tower at Kildavnet is one of a series of such strongholds that Granuaile established along the western seaboard. It is some 40 feet in height and had 3 stories. The strategic importance of its location, at the mouth of Achill Sound was for protecting the passage that connects Clew Bay with Blacksod Bay.
Also known as Carrickahowley Castle, this tower house stands on the shore of an inlet of Clew Bay, with the water lapping right up against it's walls. Rockfleet was home of the clan leader, Grace O'Malley, otherwise known by her irish name of Granuaile, pirate Queen. In 1574 British forces tried to put a stop to her actives, but she repulsed the attack! Grace later came to an agreement with the Crown, and upon meeting Queen Elizabeth, Grace refused to bow, as she felt she was a queen in her own right.

It was built in the sixteenth century during the reign of Henry the VIII. A medallion found near bearing the Ó Dochartaigh arms dating from about 1525, and a coin of 1547 was found nearby. When the O'Dohertys lost Elagh Castle, they took refuge here. Sir Cahair O'Doherty was in charge in 1601 and it was later garrisoned by Hugh Boy O'Doherty.

Hi I have a 94 Capri that has had an overheating problem since I bought the car. It has the radiator new hoses, new water pump, replaced. Drive it for 20-30-even 40 minutes with out stopping and it is fine. Stop once for 4-5 minutes restart the car and it is hot(no fans have come on at all)it will continue to run hot until I turn on the heat to the hotest , highest setting and let it run. That is not very practical at 95 degrees. Do the fans have a relay or switch, sensor, somewhere that I need to check. There is a fan outside the radiator, and one inside. Not sure if one was added trying to cool things down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Steve

General Manager Kevin Towers had a backup plan in place, telling Woody Williams that they would have a deal if he could not reach an agreement with Wells by 5 PM on December 8. And that is how it played out with the right-hander, Williams, signing a one-year deal with a club option for 2006.
Besides a front line starter, which the Padres believe they have in Williams, plus plans to slide ERA Champ Jake Peavy in as the ace of the staff, the Padres also had holes on the bench, in the bullpen, with the fifth starter and overall team speed.
The majority of their work involved trades, a trademark the Padres have developed over the years.
Dennis Tankersley and Terrance Long were traded for Ryan Bukvich and Darrell May. May, a left-hander, fills the fifth spot in the rotation. He is finesse pitcher with a propensity for giving up the long ball. Towers believes his ERA will drop more than a run with a move to the National League and is not concerned about the 97 homers he has given up over the last three years.
Besides the addition of Bukvich, the Padres added right-hander Rudy Seanez and lefty Dennys Reyes to the bullpen and traded with Seattle for lefty Randy Williams. It gives them two left-handed options in the bullpen, a year after going without a left-hander in the bullpen for the majority of the year.
The Padres also acquired ex-Dodger Dave Roberts from Boston in exchange for Jay Payton, Ramon Vasquez and prospect David Pauley. Roberts adds instant speed to a lineup devoid of it. He also has better range than Payton did to cover a spacious outfield but his arm is below average. He will be slotted as the leadoff hitter, allowing Sean Burroughs to move down in the lineup to utilize his abilities better.
The signing of Eric Young continues to add speed and solidifies the bench, while the addition of Geoff Blum gives them another bench player who can play multiple positions.
The loss of Wells hurts the Padres but they have made up for it in other areas. They are also banking on bounce back years from some players who did not live up to expectations. They did not make a big splash in free agency, preferring to keep payroll down and filling in the gaps.
They filled the issue of team speed, getting a centerfielder with better range, restocking the bench and bullpen but questions will remain. It is unclear if the starters are better than last year and the bullpen, besides the big three of Akinori Otsuka, Scott Linebrink and Trevor Hoffman, remains a mystery.
Counting on Ryan Klesko returning to form and his defensive limitations in the outfield will be essential to their success. Brian Giles also had a down year by his standards and will ask to carry a bigger load. The lineup is loaded from top to bottom, especially with Khalil Greene no longer so green.
If they can live up to rather lofty expectations, the Padres are a team that can contend in the NL West.

The odds of a renewed global recession have grown this year, but that doesn't mean investors should throw up their hands and abandon commodities.
In last week's Commodities Corner, my colleague Simon Constable highlighted how a contracting world economy quickly erodes the value of raw materials and the companies that make them. He argued that commodities can be more vulnerable in a downturn than other sectors.
Indeed, global economic fears already have taken a toll on the share prices of many resource companies, particularly those in metals and mining. The Dow Jones U.S. Mining Index of companies is down 26% this year, compared with a 6.1% rise in the Standard & Poor's 500. Share prices of metals and mining companies, BMO Capital Markets analysts say in a note, "continue to discount a view that is worse than reality."
But slumps can create opportunities, as well as pain, and investors aren't savvy if they aren't selective. Here are some guidelines for building stakes in metals and mining stocks during unsettled times:
1. Choose companies that are making money now, rather than ones dependent on expansion plans. With financial markets rattled by Europe's banking crisis and lenders uneasy, growth projects will probably see delays.
2. Focus on companies that sell things that China and India must import. Despite their problems, the countries still are expected to provide the bulk of global growth in demand. Generally, companies selling to Asian markets will be better off than those depending on sales to Europe and North America.
3. Avoid commodities where supply is outstripping demand. BMO last week cut its outlook on aluminum makers, including Alcoa AA -0.2764127764127764% Alcoa Corp.

The industry faces structural overcapacity, with smelters in the West being shuttered, even as China ramps up output.
Several brokerages are recommending caution toward U.S. steel companies, which are burdened by overcapacity as the construction industry remains in the doldrums. But BMO sees two companies well-positioned to weather the storm: iron-ore miner Cliffs Natural Resources CLF 1.4742014742014742% Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD8.26 0.12 1.4742014742014742% /Date(1490648631443-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 16191042 AFTER HOURS USD8.3 0.0400000000000009 0.48426150121065376% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 100766 P/E Ratio 9.04709748083242 Market Cap 2412679905.22698 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 681619 More quote details and news » (CLF), whose shares have been battered (and on which Barron's made a prematurely favorable call this year; see "Nothing to Write Home About"), and coal producer Peabody Energy (BTU).
Even in an economic slowdown, China's appetite for coal and iron ore is likely to remain hearty. And both U.S.-based miners have expanded their access to Asia in recent years by buying export-focused outfits in Australia. The two companies also are fueling growth from within, using their cash stockpiles, rather than debt, to ramp up output at their own mines.
Cliffs is "already pricing in a hard landing," says Dahlman Rose analyst Anthony Young. "We believe that investors can take shelter" in the Cleveland-based company, he says. Investors tend to favor Peabody for the low costs at its Australian operations, says Lucas Pipes, an analyst with Brean Murray Carret. "It's tough to make an argument that, in the long run, Australia is going to underperform the U.S." in the coal sector, he adds.
Cliff's stock closed Friday at $46.60, down 2.9% on the week and 25% on the year. Peabody's shares ended at $22.51, off 9.5% on the week and 32% on the year.
