By Nicholas Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information
Cincinnati, OH---Emma-Jean Ricketts had a huge game, but the Express couldn't execute at the foul line - including two misses from Ricketts late in regulation - in an 82-75 overtime loss to Cincinnati State.
In regulation, both Karahn Scott and Jordyn Bond fouled out and the Express trailed Cincinnati State 58-49 with 5:11 left. Then, with 2:09 left, Cincinnati State's Kindsay Brandt hit a jumper that put the Surge up 62-57.
The Express, however, got the second of back-to-back 3-pointers from Breonna House to pull the game within two. After a missed 3-pointer from Brandi Henschen, the Express pulled down the defensive rebound. Ricketts would make 2-for-2 from the foul line to tie the game with 1:17 remaining.
Brandt then drained a 3-pointer to give the Surge a three point lead, but Mackenzie Heacock answered back with a 3-pointer to tie the game at 65-all with 28 seconds remaining.
Bailee Adams then stole a loose ball from Brandt and made an outlet pass to Ricketts, who was fouled on a lay-up attempt. She missed both free throws, however, and Cincinnati State couldn't score on the ensuing possession and the game went to overtime.
In overtime, the Surge came out on fire as they scored the first 11 points of the session to take a 76-65 lead with 2:58 remaining. The Express then fought back once again and cut the lead to 78-75 with 32 seconds left. Cincinnati State, however, made 4-for-6 from the foul line down the stretch to get the win.
The Express lost the game at the foul line and on the glass as they finished just 19-for-35 overall from the line. Ricketts, alone, made just 8-for-17 from the line.
Ricketts, though, was the primary reason the Express were able to come back late. The sophomore posted a career-high 18 rebounds to go with 19 points, four assists and three steals. She finished 5-for-17 from the field and 1-for-5 from the 3-point line.
Heacock tied for the team lead in scoring with 19 points, while adding three rebounds, one assist and one steal.
House, who had multiple clutch 3-pointers late in regulation, finished with 13 points off the bench. Despite fouling out late, Scott finished with 10 points, seven rebounds and one steal.
Brandt led the Surge with 21 points, nine rebounds, six assists and five steals despite turning the ball over seven times - including the possession that could have led to Ricketts winning the game at the foul line.
Cameron Vaughn, who is one of the nation's top rebounders, was held to only one rebound in the first half, but finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds and one block. Desiree Ash added 13 points, seven rebounds and two blocks for the Surge.
As a team, the Express were outrebounded 60-51 overall and 21-14 on the offensive glass. They shot 26-for-73 overall from the field and 4-for-19 from 3-point range. Meanwhile, the Surge finished 28-for-82 from the field overall, 6-for-17 from 3-point range and 20-for-29 from the foul line.
The Surge outscored the Express 23-14 in bench points and 18-14 in second chance points, while the Express won the battle in the paint 44-30 despite being outrebounded.
Adams, who had the late steal in regulation, tied Ricketts and Danielle Bezeau for the team-high in that category. Bezeau also added four points, four rebounds and four assists.
It was the third consecutive overtime game between the two teams dating back to last season. Cincinnati State is 3-0 in those games.
Ricketts nearly had a double-double in the first half alone as she finished with 10 points and nine rebounds, while Heacock had nine points in 10 minutes of action.
Also in the first half, the Express were hurt by a couple missed open lay-ups, as well as 11 turnovers. Scott picked up three fouls and was limited to only eight minutes of action. During that time, she had four points and three rebounds.
Bond fouled out with 6:04 remaining. She had nine points and nine rebounds at the time.
The Express are now 14-6 overall and 2-1 in the OCCAC, while Cincinnati State improves to 17-3 overall and 3-0 in the OCCAC.

Springfield officials are hoping to begin work during the upcoming construction season on a $5.5 million road extension that will transform Stanford Avenue into an east-west thoroughfare on the city�s south side.
The city council currently is considering two ordinances that will make this plan possible.
The first is an agreement with Woodside Township to build a railroad crossing on the proposed new section of Stanford east of Fox Bridge Road and to close existing crossings at nearby Truman Road and 14th Street.
The other is a $435,930 contract with Hanson Professional Services to handle preliminary engineering and land acquisition for the planned extension from Fox Bridge to Taylor Avenue. The city plans to use motor-fuel tax funds to pay Hanson for that work.
�Once this phase is done, you�ll be able to go from Dirksen (Parkway) all the way across town,� Public Works Director Mark Mahoney said. �It�s a huge project. It�s an east-west connection that�s not there now.�
Mahoney said he hopes to solicit bids for the construction work this year.
The work is expected to take two construction seasons to complete, city engineer Nate Bottom said.
The new section will be nearly two-thirds of a mile long and will require the city to acquire more than 7 acres for rights of way, Bottom said. Plans call for a three-lane road, with one lane in each direction and a bidirectional turn lane in the middle, running north of the Stratford Place subdivision.
The plan also includes a sidewalk on the south side of the street, a bike path on the north side from Fox Bridge to the Lost Bridge Trail, and a sidewalk from the trail to Taylor Avenue.
Once the council approves the railroad crossing agreement with Woodside Township, the city will have to petition the Illinois Commerce Commission to OK the plan.
While the 14th Street crossing could close before the new one at Stanford Avenue opens, the Truman Road crossing will stay open until that time, Bottom said.
When the extension is complete, he said, it will provide improved access to 300 acres of vacant land and encourage economic development in an underdeveloped area of the city, which in turn could help reduce continuing sprawl on the west side.
About $2.9 million of the project will be paid for with federal surface transportation funds that the Springfield Area Transportation Study awarded to the city.
Long-term plans for Stanford Avenue include additional improvements to existing sections running from Sixth to 11th streets and from 11th to Fox Bridge Road.
The city is still seeking funding for those sections, Mahoney said.

5 High-Quality Coffee Grinders
I deeply appreciate the wonders that a warm cup of coffee can perform in the early morning — especially its effects on my productivity. One of the most essential tools for excellent homemade coffee is a high-quality coffee grinder. Here are five picks; we'd love to know if you've tried any of these out. How did they perform?
It's essential to purchase coffee beans whole and either grind them for each use or grind then store in an air tight container. There are many different brands and grinders on the market that range from beginner to expert. There's no right or wrong grinder to purchase; it's all about finding one that meets your needs and expectations.
A plus side to a smaller, less expensive grinder is that it can double as a spice grinder (just be sure to clean thoroughly after each use). Here are 5 credible coffee grinders:
• Breville Smart Grinder, $199.95 at Sur la Table
• Krups 203 Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder, $19.50 at Amazon
• Hario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Grinder, $49.95 at Williams Sonoma
• Bodum® Bistro Blade Grinder, $29.95 at Crate and Barrel
• Bodum Bistro Black Burr Grinder, $99.95 at Sur la Table

Working with a professional financial planner doesn't guarantee fiscal security.
Continue Reading Below
"There are a lot of people who come to us and are under certain circumstances and think they will be walking out completely fixed," says Deana Arnett, certified financial planner and senior planning consultant at Rosenthal Wealth Management Group. "It's on us to learn about their needs and create the best financial and investment plan, but it can only work if they are proactive as well."
When it comes to financial planning, Amanda Gift, a financial advisor with Signature, reminds her clients that there are numerous variables that can't be controlled in the investing world, but they can regulate their spending."You can't control what the economy is going to do or which direction the stock market is moving, but you can control how much you are spending and what you do and don't buy."
Here's a look at lessons money managers want their clients to know:
I Can Only Do So Much. Even the most comprehensive financial plans only work if they're executed by the client.
"There are a lot of people who go to a financial planner, and then after many discussions, get a book filled with glossy paper with pretty charts on them that only sits on the book shelf, not helping anyone," says Arnett.
Your Beneficiary Designations Could be Gone. Mike Piershale, president of Piershale Financial Group, says the numerous bank mergers that occurred in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis left a lot of once-designated accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs without a beneficiary.
"After these mergers, we've had several occurrences where the beneficiary of an account has been lost in the transfer process, so we tell anyone who named a beneficiary in the last seven years to check and make sure it's still there."
I Can't Tell You Your Risk Tolerance. Piershale says financial advisors shouldn't be telling clients how much risk they should take on when investing.
"We are here to help you figure out your risk tolerance, and then come up with a portfolio that meets your goals."
Once a client's risk tolerance is established, Piershale says it's up to the professionals to create the best tax-advantaged investing strategies. "Paying attention to the right investment, in the right account, will increase your tax savings."
Your Emergency Savings are too Big. Financial experts agree that everyone should have at least six months of living expenses in a savings account that can be easily accessed, but anything more could be a missed investment opportunity.
"When I see lots of money going into a savings account that is earning so little interest, I ask clients if they are contributing their maximum to their retirement accounts and once we get that done, we advise them to put their excess money that's just sitting in their checking account to better investment use."
You are Living Way Beyond Your Means. Gift says many people commonly underestimate how much they are spending -- especially when it comes to big-ticket purchases.
"Often when people buy things on a monthly payment, they don't take the time to see how much it will cost them in a year, they think 'oh, $400 a month, I can manage that,' but they don't realize that's almost $5,000 a year." says Gift
You Need an Estate Plan…No Matter Your Age. Too many people equate an estate plan with being wealthy, says Piershale, but he says every parent or anyone with any level of assets should create a plan.
"You want to make sure your assets are passed to the people you want, and more importantly, you want to name a guardian for your children in case the unthinkable happens."
Professional Financial Help isn't Only for the Wealthy. "The people who have a bizzilion dollars are not the ones that need me," says Arnett. "The stakes are a lot higher when you have finite resources, if you make a mistake on a $50,000, it tends to hurt a lot more when you make $150,000."

Sweet peas by the arm load and cherries (sorry, a little blurry here) as big as gum balls. The scents, the tastes, the colors, the day. As far as I'm concerned it really doesn't get much better than this!

Giants and Cowboys Have an Appointment With Destiny
The New York Giants defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today in the NFC wildcard game, advancing the Giants to the next round. The G-men will travel to Texas Stadium to face the #1 seed Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. The game will be Sunday at 3:30 p.m. central standard time.
The Cowboys and Giants have met twice this year, both times resulting in Cowboys' wins. The two teams started off their seasons with a rivalry match-up on the first NFL Sunday Night game of 2007. The Cowboys came away with a huge victory, 45-35. The 90 points scored were the most in a Giants-Cowboys match-up in history. In addition, Dallas scored the most points in a season opener since 1971, a year in which the Cowboys won their first Super Bowl Championship.
The second game played by the two teams the Cowboys also came away with the "W" with a score of 31-20. Dallas scored a touchdown in every quarter plus a field goal in the 2nd quarter. The Giants had the ball nearly 10 minutes longer than the Cowboys but just couldn't seem to click.
On December 17th the Giants suffered a huge loss when Jeremy Shockey was placed on injured reserve ending his season. They also have 9 other players out for the year plus 10 more on the injury report this past week. They will need to really focus and bring their top game if they plan to match up against the Dallas Cowboys.
On the other hand, the Cowboys need to come into this game level-headed and full-hearted. Other than determining home field advantage and bracket spots, the playoffs give every team a clean slate. Tony Romo needs to play like he did early in the season and prove to the nation that he is among the big game quarterbacks.
If the 'Boys do everything right and play like they did all season, with exception of the last 3 games, they've got it in the bag. The Dallas Cowboys have the opportunity to go all the way, it just depends on how bad they want it as a team. I have a great feeling they want it so bad they can taste it! Go Cowboys!

Bag Restrictions Go Into Place for NFL Games
The NFL preseason begins tonight and as a huge football fan, I'm pretty excited. What I'm not excited for is the fact that for women only, bag restrictions go into place. Here are a few of my thoughts about that.
The preseason is here! The games are meaningless but who cares? It's football time! I usually try and hit up a game or two, but I think I'm going to skip it this year.
In the off season, the NFL decided to restrict what fans can bring into the games. Not just fans, it's only for their female fans.
Female fans are no longer allowed to bring in purses, handbags, fanny packs or diaper bags. You now have to bring your things to the game in a clear plastic bag. They will sell you a bag for about $20, you can bring things in a Ziploc bag TSA style, or you can bring a very small clutch bag no bigger than your hand.
Not only in the off season did the NFL decide on these stupid rules, there were 31 players arrested; including one for murder.
New England Patriots Tight End Aaron Hernandez had his whole life ahead of him and it looks like he completely blew it because he was arrested in June for his alleged role in the murder of another football player, Odin Lloyd.
Thirty other players also got cuffed and stuffed since the clock ran out at the Super Bowl February 3.
Al Netter of the 49ers and seven other players were arrested for DUI and DWI. J'Marcus Webb of the Chicago Bears and three others were arrested for drug posession. Da'Quaan Bowers of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and five others were arrested for weapons violations. Others were arrested for assault, resisting an officer, soliciting prostitutes and it wasn't only Hernandez arrested for murder. Ausar Walcott of the Cleveland Browns was also arrested for attempted murder.
So, the NFL spends all of this money trying to make football female friendly, chasing female fans to try and get them to buy jerseys, jackets, pajamas and the like, but then turns around and tells them that you can't bring your kids to the game if they still need a diaper bag. Not saying that an infant belongs at a loud professional football game, but even kids who are 7 years old need a little extra stuff, and anyone who is a parent knows that it's not going to fit in a Ziploc bag.
I'm sorry, but when Aunt Flo comes to town, the whole world doesn't need to know about it because I have to carry my tampons in a clear plastic bag. No thank you.
So, in summation: maybe the NFL needs to worry a little more about their players killing people, driving drunk, beating their kids and beating their wives before they label all of their female fans as terrorists.
What do you think about the new restrictions?

Fatshark's action-RPG Krater showed promise, but ultimately got bogged down by a number of flaws. It might be worth another look later this month when a sizable update containing support for cooperative play becomes available. This downloadable content, due out on October 23, will be free.
Improvements are also coming to single-player in the form of updated visuals, tweaks to gameplay, an improved user interface, and more. "The game experience from day one to now is very different," says producer Robert Bäckström. "We have listened to the player feedback."
Come October 23, players will "get a whole new experience" compared to the original release of Krater.

2 hospitalized after Thomasville mobile home fire
2 hospitalized after Thomasville mobile home fire
A woman is dead and a man is recovering from injuries after a fire destroyed a mobile home Wednesday night.
The fire was reported around 8:15 p.m. at 160 Wintbrook Road. It took about an hour for firefighters to put out the fire.
The female resident, Mary Cecil Williams, was airlifted to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center after suffering serious burns. She died at the hospital.
A male bystander was treated for minor burns at Thomasville Medical Center.
Investigators believe a kerosene heater may have caused the fire. The SBI and the fire marshal are investigating at the scene.
The fire started in the living room, fire officials said.

SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) France faces Switzerland on the anniversary of its infamous World Cup training ground strike, and a victory in Friday's match will go a long way to closing the darkest chapter in France's football history.
Four years ago in South Africa, the players shamed a nation back home and prompted the fury of politicians when they refused to climb down off the team bus in protest at one of their teammates being sent home.
Confidence has been rebuilt under coach Didier Deschamps and pride in the blue jersey has - seemingly - been restored after some good results.
However, questions remain whether the current side has truly turned the page on June 20, 2010 and Knysna - where the strike took place.
Only four players who from that 2010 World Cup squad remain in this side. One of those, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, is now captain.
''Honestly, we're not thinking at all about what happened in 2010. We're concentrating on what happens tomorrow,'' Lloris said on Thursday. ''All our minds are on this match, what happened is in the past. We're here to continue the adventure as long as possible.''
Deschamps looked exasperated that a question about the strike anniversary was asked, shaking his head in disbelief that the inquisition is still lingering.
A handsome win should help end it, as well as give a better indication of how much France has improved. Whoever wins in Salvador takes a giant step toward winning Group E and avoiding a likely clash with Lionel Messi's Argentina in the next round.
The French did not get much of a challenge from Honduras in their opening World Cup match, winning 3-0 against a team that was reduced to 10 men before halftime. This is France's biggest challenge since beating Ukraine 3-0 in November in the second leg of their playoff match after losing 2-0 in the first leg.
''We haven't been tested properly for a while. If it happens tomorrow, so much the better,'' Deschamps said. ''It's when things become difficult that you're able to judge not only the football side of things but the mental strength of the players, and we'll get an answer tomorrow.''
Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld's side has lost just once in 18 matches over the past two years and is No. 6 in FIFA's rankings.
''We'll have to dig very deep, because the Swiss have a lot of quality,'' Deschamps said. ''If you look at their players, they are playing in the big European clubs, so it's not a coincidence that they're ranked sixth.''
Hitzfeld bases his team around solid defending and quick counterattacks, stretching teams down the flanks.
''They have players who can break forwards quickly,'' Deschamps said. ''The Swiss play well when they're grouped together. Maybe they will play further forward at times but that depends on who gets on the ball more.''
France, however, does appear to have the edge in attack, with the forward line of Karim Benzema, Antoine Griezmann and Mathieu Valbuena boasting pace and mobility. Benzema scored twice against Honduras and has netted eight goals in his past seven games.
Midfielder Yohan Cabaye has meanwhile been passed fit after recovering from a groin problem.
''Yohan has fully recovered and there's no problem,'' Deschamps said.

Revision as of 07:01, 25 August 2007
|In progress: This article or section documents one or more features whose implementation are in progress.
Bluetooth is one of the core functions of the Neo1973, however it is basically unimplemented on the software side at the moment. Hardware problems in the P1 phone mean that the CPU has to be active in order to wake on external bluetooth events, which will reduce the battery life to some 2 days at best in standby.
This page details how to use bluetooth from the command line. We have quite a lot of plans about what exactly Bluetooth should be used for.
Power it up
Bluetooth may not be powered up.
Power up the adapter:
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/power_on
If that doesn't do it, power up and reset the adapter one after the other:
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/power_on ; echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/reset ; echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/reset
hciconfig should print information about the adapter if it powered up properly:
(If you have an older rootfs, you may need to modprobe gta01-pm-bt or even hci_usb but these are built in/loaded automatically currently.) The devices should show as UP. If not you can use
hciconfig <device> up
Bluetooth Functions
Scanning for bluetooth devices
hcitool scan
This will list the addresses of any discoverable bluetooth devices in the vicinity
passkey agent example
There should be a passkey agent built into openmoko, but for now you can start up the example passkey agent and set the pin code there. This will allow for new pairings to be made when you attempt a connection.
passkey-agent --default 0000 &
HID (Human Input Device)
Being able to use HID devices
We want to be able to use a bluetooth keyboard to type into the various applications of our Neo1973. To use a Bluetooth Keyboard type: (11:22:33:44:55:66 is the Address of your BT-Keyboard)
hidd --connect 11:22:33:44:55:66
and press "Connect" on your BT-KB
Tested on:
- Logitech Dinovo Edge
- Nokia SU-8W. Switched on the BT keyboard, scanned for BT address and ran the connect statement above. Works fine.
Acting as HID device
We want to be able to use the Neo1973 as a HID device, being able to use it as controller for presentations.
Here's how to connect to an external Bluetooth GPS and read NMEA data (Tested with a Holux GPSSlim236).
First, switch on the GPS and identify the BT address:
hcitool scan
Then, edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm, which by default has all settings commented out, to something like this:
rfcomm0 { # Automatically bind the device at startup bind no; # Bluetooth address of the device device 00:11:22:33:44:55; # RFCOMM channel for the connection (check your GPS docs for details) channel 1; # Description of the connection comment "Bluetooth GPS"; }
Restart the BT services:
root@neo:~$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop root@neo:~$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
You should now be able to bind the GPS to /dev/rfcomm0, like this:
root@neo:~$ rfcomm bind 0
Confirm the connect:
root@neo:~$ rfcomm rfcomm0: 00:11:22:33:44:55 channel 1 clean
... and watch the NMEA strings coming from your GPS:
root@neo:~$ cat /dev/rfcomm0 $GPGGA,111748.000,5907.6964,N,01121.1787,E,1,06,1.2,57.7,M,40.1,M,,0000*6F $GPRMC,111748.000,A,5907.6964,N,01121.1787,E,0.00,94.94,160807,,,A*50 $GPVTG,94.94,T,,M,0.00,N,0.0,K,A*3D
If you have nothing better to do, you can now pinpoint my office :-).
Bluetooth should behave just like our usbnet and provide full TCP/IP access to the phone. BNEP has to be used.
On the laptop:
- Start bluetooth
elara /home/alphaone # /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
- Start pand as server
elara /home/alphaone # pand -s
- As soon as pand is started on the phone configure your IP address
elara /home/alphaone # ip a add 10.0.0.1/24 dev bnep0 elara /home/alphaone # ip l set bnep0 up
- Configure IP forwarding and masquerading to your liking
On the phone:
- Power on bluetooth (see above)
- Scan for the laptop
root@fic-gta01:~$ hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:0E:6D:C0:0l:6A Sho 00:20:E0:5A:FE:C8 BlueZ (0)
- Connect to the laptop pand

PPP Networking
If you are unable to use the 'BNEP' method described above, you may be able to use a dialup-networking emulation mode. On the Neo:
- Edit the /etc/default/bluetooth file and set the following options:
RFCOMM_ENABLE=true DUND_ENABLE=true DUND_OPTIONS="--listen --persist call dun"
- Create an /etc/ppp/peers/dun file with options like the following:
115200 192.168.2.202:192.168.2.200 passive local noipdefault noauth nodefaultroute
- Restart bluetooth (/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop ; /etc/init.d/bluetooth start)
To connect from a MacOS 10.3 client:
- Open "Applications/Utilities/Bluetooth Serial Utility"
- Click on "New"
- Choose a name, then click "Choose Device"
- Locate your Neo, then select the "LAN Access Point" service. If your device is not found, or if this service does not show up, then you will need to troubleshoot and fix that before continuing. Bluetooth is designed for short-range communication, so make sure that the devices are physically close to each other.
- Select "Port type: RS-232" and "Show in Network Preferences". Click OK.
- Open the Network Preferences page then "Show: Network Port Configurations". Enable the new device that you defined in the previous step and drag it to the bottom of the device list (so that it will not interfere with your other network connections)
- Choose "Show: <your-device-name>", then click "Modem"
- Select "Null Modem 115200" from the list of available devices. Uncheck "Wait for dial tone" and "Enable error correction and compression in modem". Optionally check "Show modem status in menu bar".
- Click "Connect". If everything worked, you will end up with a 'ppp0' device on your Mac with a local address of 192.168.2.200 and you will be able to access your Neo at 192.168.2.202.
The A2DP codec, SBC, runs pretty well now in 32-bit fixed-point math. It's been successfully tested on a faster ARM but not yet on neo. There is test code in the bluetooth-alsa.sf.net plugz module for using alsa plugins to send A2DP audio out and it's starting to be reimplemented "properly" in the bluez core.
Headset Audio
Bluez has an audio daemon for headset audio that should work to set up the control connection to the headset. It will need hooks in the openmoko gui.
Neo1973_Audio_Subsystem has more detail about what magic needs to happen with the Wolfson codec so system audio can be switched to use the bluetooth audio channel and later back to the speaker/earpiece/wired headset. There seems to be a proposal for audio scenario management there but no detail about whether that is how things are done currently. How should audio management work when eg plugging in/unplugging the wired headset?
If the codec audio management is worked out, then all we need are hooks to make the kind of dbus api calls that are in the python examples at http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices (unfortunately python-dbus is not available yet on neo to try these directly). The connect method *does* need to be called; it's automatic only when using an alsa plugin which is not how it works on neo.

Gallery: 11 Winter Salads to Eat Right Now
Here's a gallery of eleven favorite salads to eat right now.
You'll notice a few ingredients that repeat frequently. Cabbage, beets, and fennel are all very good this time of year, and dark leafy greens like chard and kale grow right through the winter. You can buy arugula and other more tender greens from greenhouses.
See, even though we aren't completely above buying something from far away once in a while in the winter, certain things just seem to taste better in the right time of year. Asparagus seems odd when not at its true peak in spring, and tomatoes belong to late summer.
These vegetables are just the same: cabbage often has a sweet ripeness this time of year, and the fennel bulbs are big and juicy. Don't miss out on this season of vegetables!
- Beet Salad with Horseradish Cream and Frizzled Sweet Onions An elegant composed salad from Sara Kate.
- Kale Salad with Pecorino and Lemon Ultra-simple and very refreshing.
- Goi Chay (Vietnamese Vegetarian Salad) Shredded cabbage, carrots, rice noodles, peanuts. Add chicken or tofu to make it a meal.
- Grated Beet Salad with Blue Cheese Another rich beet salad for warmth and color.
- Orange, Olive, and Fennel Salad Fennel and olives – colorful and delicious! Substitute another bitter green for the arugula, or leave it out completely.
- Sesame Cabbage Salad This cabbage salad may not be much to look at, but boy is it good. We could eat buckets of this cabbage dressed with oil, vinegar, and soy sauce, and crunchy with noodles and almonds. It's easy and pure alchemy.
- Kohlrabi Slaw Another winter vegetable put to refreshing and crunchy good use.
- Fennel, Orange, and Shallot Salad Another fennel salad — even simpler. This is a good vehicle for very good olive oil.
- Sexy, Spicy Broccoli Don't forget this instant classic! Spicy broccoli marinated in olive oil and garlic is sure to warm up any winter night.
- Orzo Salad with Rosemary Almonds and Sun-Dried Tomatoes A taste of summer in the winter. Full-grown winter spinach, endive and other winter greens, with sun-dried tomatoes and herbs.
- Cabbage Beet Coleslaw Cabbage AND beets! The ultimate winter salad?
What are your favorite salads to eat this time of year?

I'm a bit of a slow-mover when it comes to social media, and it appears I've waited a little long to jump on the Pinterest bandwagon... but I'm glad I did! It could easily become an addiction, I'll admit, but I've been able to keep myself pretty disciplined about it. And it's proven to be a fun way to interact with readers!
Two of the boards I've created are directly related to my Calloway Summers series of books which include Fireflies in December, Cottonwood Whispers and Catching Moondrops.
One board, "Jessilyn's World," focuses on my view of the setting and characters in the books. I've pinned (and will continue to pin, I'm sure!) photos that let you know how I pictured what I wrote.
The "Calloway Summers Readers' Corner" is an open board for any reader who wishes to participate. It's there that readers can reflect their ideas of the books, bringing a fresh perspective to the people and places of Calloway. As an author, I always love to hear from readers about how they perceived the story. Everyone who picks up the books has the ability to interpret them differently, and it's exciting for me to come at the stories from so many different perspectives.
So if you're a Pinner, come by and check out the boards. If you want to join the Readers' Corner, just follow the board, and I'll add your name to the list of contributors. Or you can always contact me at email@example.com or on Facebook.
In addition to the pinning fun, there's an ongoing contest to see whose pin gets the most likes. Once we get a good bit of participation, I'll be determining a date to give away a signed copy of Catching Moondrops to the pinner who gets the most likes. (A tie-breaker will be decided by a random drawing.)
Hope to see you there!
A Hello...and A Goodbye...

As we talked, nine year old tears flowed. There is an awareness in my little person's heart that this type of behavior is making the road bumpier. There was an admission that "I know better and can hear the voice whispering for me to straighten up and cut it out--to be more respectful--I just don't always listen." (A precious confession that makes me gulp at its familiarity.)
This prideful need to be in control and not be told what to do is a tendency in this particular personality that may need to always be surrendered regularly to the Lord's control. (I know this because I suffer from the same predisposition.)
The encounter was unpleasant, but necessary, for both of us. And even as I gave this child "a stern talking to" my heart was overflowing with affection. We apologized to each other. I concluded our talk by saying, "I am FOR you, which means I love you too much to let this stuff stick around in your life." My child hugged me tightly and quietly confessed, "I know. I love you, Mom."
I adore my people. It kills me to be cross with them--but God has given me this task. As Kari Kampakis wrote so beautifully, "Not to prepare the road for my children, but to prepare my children for the road."
With this preparation comes correction, discipline, consequences. I'm not out to get my children--quite the contrary! I am FOR them. The most loving thing I can do for my offspring is help them learn these hard lessons within the confines of family, rather than completely at the hands of an often unloving world.
Because of my deep love, I will fight for my children against the sin that seeks to entangle them. Frankly, it is not fun, but it is a call upon Christian parents.
This afternoon as I was thinking/praying through last night and preparing my heart for what may come today I started penning a letter in my head to tell my children all of this...
How my denials were ultimately for their good.
That my correction is intended to strengthen them.
Punishing them or allowing them to accept consequences for seemingly little things is to protect them from far bigger ones.
How sometimes restricting them was necessary in order for them to be truly free.
That so much of what they perceive as being against them is actually for them.
I want my children to trust my heart for them.
And I realized I was getting a glimpse into the Father heart of God.
It's the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects.

Well, it seems like Kyuube is responsible for a fixed area, and so called Kyouko to come over as a replacement for Mami. Or more like, to continue scheming his plans. As I understood it MGs from other areas can be called over by contractors if needed, though going from Kyuube's reaction it seems like they can't actually desginate a specific person. Anyway, as the official description already showed, Kyouko really does come over as heartless and egoistic but I'd like to believe there's a reason in that personality and behavior. I'm really interested in what her wish was, maybe a flinch of her past like for Mami and finally her role and especially her weapons and skills. At least before she pulls the short end like Mami did.
P.S.: The district thing really reminds me of TWGOK.

From what I feel, it may even be that Kyouko has coldly calculated how that she can incubate more witches by leading to as much collateral damage as possible, as the circle of grief feeds itself from the victims and their loved ones, thus allowing her to continue killing witches. It makes for the perfect crime if one will. The deaths cannot be directly attributed to her, despite her stake in the matter.

My bet: Sayaka is going to turn into a witch over being screwed over by Kamijou and her subsequent unwillingness to do her MG part because she's depressed and feels cheated. And Kyouko is going to kill her after that. Most likely end of ep5, but ep6 at the latest.
Or, on the meta-level: Sayaka will be used to illustrate the danger of wishes for the sake of others rather than yourself, and to establish evidence for the "witches are falling MGs" meatgrinder. And by killing her, Madoka becomes even more isolated and mentally tortured.

Since I have no problem other than keep the discussion... lets start!
Kyouko starts taunting Sayaka about the failure of making a wish for other people messing with her whenever a witch appears and eventually leading them to fight each other. The possible outcome can be IMO is Sayaka dies, but Kyouko ends too weak/or badly injured to keep another fight and then boila! a witch appears because of Kyuube.
Of course the double death can cause even more mental torture on Madoka if she sees through Kyouko's background/past just like she did with Mami before her death, with Kyouko as a victim of her own wishes and Sayaka as the friend which he let die because of Madoka's fears and hesitation.

kyoko's character is very interesting.. but her death might come as a shock. it'd be sudden. so i'm betting she dies before sayaka or, both will die the same time. i'm having horrid thoughts about how she'll die. or..or, she won't die at all..L0L..

Kyoko's translated profile says she's willing to use her magic for personal gain. This implies that the girls don't need to transform to use their magic at all. It also implies that she's confident she can hunt down enough witches to keep her Soul Gem lit even though she's using it more often in noncombat situations than other magical girls.

After, i say.
- Kyoko screws Kamijo (not in that way) For The Evulz (well, to create grief).
- Grieving Sayaka turns into witch.
- Kyoko kills Sayaka, loots Grief Seed.
- Homerun shoots Kyoko from behind. Karmic Death.
Oh, and i get tons of Nao vibe from Kyoko, red hair notwithstanding.

Project Based Learning appeals to students
Michael Nelson is like the young man throwing starfish back into the ocean. It's a familiar story, Skyline Elementary Principal Becca Flowers said, but she related it anyway, just to make sure everyone present to honor Nelson as Teacher of the Year could see the parallel.
A wise old man challenged the younger man — there are miles and miles of beach, you can't possibly make a difference by throwing just a few starfish back. Many will be stranded when the tide goes out, and die in the sun.
The young man tossed another one in and replied, "I made a difference for that one."
"Michael is a very humble man, but he knows he holds in his hands the power to change lives," Flowers said. "Michael never gives up. The kids always have one more chance."
She praised not only his knowledge of subject matter and technical skills, but his ability to build relationships with students, some of them very tough to reach out to.
Nelson began teaching at Skyline School in August 2002. He was a middle school math teacher for seven years, then moved into the technology coordinator position for three years.
Last year he asked to go back to the classroom and work with the fifth and sixth grade Project Based Learning. He teaches as part of a four-person team with Kristin McPherson, Harmony Harts and Shari Gates.
Project Based Learning (PBL) goes beyond the "sit and get" environment, and appeals to students who learn by a more hands-on method. Math classes, his emphasis, closely resemble a traditional lecture and practice class, he said, but students have the opportunity to work on projects that require the skills previously learned and gain more knowledge as needed.
He gave an example:
Science and reading teacher Shari Gates received a South Central Community Foundation grant for the construction of a greenhouse structure. Some of Nelson's math students formed the structural team, using the Skyline Google Apps account to keep everyone organized.
Under the direction of a research coordinator, they began looking for examples, plans and materials lists for the Hoop House greenhouse. Some used SketchUp software to design the house, while Nelson's preconstruction team put together a 3-D tagboard model. Others were involved in the selection of blueprints and materials lists. Two students researched the pricing of kits versus purchasing materials separately.
All students reported results on a shared Google document, which will help Mrs. Gates determine how to proceed with the construction and eventual maintenance of a Hoop House.
"Students today are in a fast-changing world full of devices, stimulus and opportunities that have never been seen," Nelson said. "They aren't as comfortable or accustomed to sitting and letting others fill their brain for them."
He acknowledges that preparation is more time-consuming than for more traditional classes, and acquiring resources, when budgets are tight is challenging. They rely heavily on the donation of materials, volunteers and the generosity of the community.
"It certainly has been a different experience for me," Nelson said. "I was used to being an 'expert' in my content area and now I'm faced with situations where I have to research right along with the students. As a result, I have learned that my answer of 'I don't know' doesn't end a discussion, it begins the next level of learning for the student."

Lillypad Skirt
Added Apr 22, 2013
by pambox
Sydney, Australia
I found this piece of fabric at the fabric cave for the princely sum of $1.50. It had been $3, but they were having a half price sale, so a cheap piece of fabric became pretty much free .
The skirt is incredibly simple, I just sewed up the selvage with just enough left to put in the zipper. The piece of fabric was a bit more than 1 metre wide, so I needed to narrow it in for the waistband. I wanted to keep the skirt simple, so I decided to just pull in some pleats at the sides – the front and back of the skirt still sits pretty much straight and flat, and the extra fabric expands out from the sides. This skirt also has my best ever zipper, which I'm very proud of.

Thank you! This sewing thing's addictive, isn't it?
I'd almost forgot I owned the purple tights until I was looking for something to wear under this skirt – lucky that the shade matches so well!

You bet! I thought I'd save money sewing things instead of clothes shopping, but the fabric thing is equally addictive for me!
Someday I will get to 75 too :)

NEW YORK, (Reuters) – An accountant for confessed swindler Bernard Madoff's firm was charged with fraud yesterday after authorities said he pretended to audit the company that cheated thousands in Wall Street's biggest investment scheme.
The accountant, David Friehling, 49, who ran a small storefront firm in a New York suburb, is the first person besides Madoff to be arrested on criminal charges in the fraud. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed civil charges against Friehling.
Madoff, 70, pleaded guilty on March 12 in a dramatic courtroom admission to running a worldwide fraud that prosecutors said went back at least 20 years, drawing in as much as $65 billion from big and small investors and charities.
Madoff, a former Nasdaq stock market chairman, was jailed after pleading guilty to 11 criminal counts and could spend the rest of his life in prison when he is sentenced in June.
The FBI arrested Friehling yesterday as the government followed up on its promise to bilked investors to investigate Madoff's close associates.
"Friehling's arrest signals that the government is working hard on interviewing various people and looking at documents to find out who may have helped Madoff commit this massive fraud," said Paul Radvany, a professor at Fordham University School of Law in New York and a former federal prosecutor.
The SEC said in its complaint that Friehling and his firm "did not perform anything remotely resembling an audit" of Madoff's money management firm or try to confirm that stocks that Madoff had purportedly bought for customers even existed.
A U.S. magistrate ordered Friehling to be released on $2.5 million bail and to surrender his passport. Friehling, wearing a beige suit and yellow and green tie, sat slightly slumped in the courtroom during a brief proceeding.
Friehling's attorney Andrew Lankler declined comment after the hearing, and Friehling left the court without commenting.
Friehling faces a maximum of 105 years in prison on the criminal charges, including securities fraud, aiding and abetting investment adviser fraud and false audit reports.
The SEC said Friehling "merely pretended" to conduct minimal audit procedures to make it seem as if he was auditing. Even then, he failed to adequately document his purported findings.
Friehling and his firm were paid from Madoff's ill-gotten gains, and he and his family improperly held accounts at the Madoff firm in violation of accounting rules, the SEC said. Authorities said there were millions of dollars of withdrawals from the accounts over the years.
Lev Dassin, the acting U.S. Attorney for Manhattan, said Friehling is not charged with knowing about Madoff's Ponzi scheme, but his "deception helped foster the illusion that Mr. Madoff legitimately invested his clients' money.
Friehling is the only certified public accountant at the firm and its sole shareholder. He formed the firm around 1988, when he partnered with his father-in-law, Jeremy Horowitz. Horowitz died of cancer at the age of 80 last Thursday, the same day that Madoff pleaded guilty.
