Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
Ms. Jones's funk pedigree can be traced to her hometown of Augusta, Georgia, the same town that birthed the Godfather of Soul himself: James Brown. And like Mr. Brown and countless soul singers before her, Sharon honed her vocal chops in the church. "Once you get moved by the Spirit, you just gotta' let it out and share it with the people," Sharon says. And share it she did. Moreover, it didn't take long for the young Sharon to be encouraged to take the spirit from the gospel and apply it to a more secular setting. This setting was realized when as a teenager she moved with her family to Brooklyn, NY and soon found herself saturated with the pulse of funk and disco. Little time passed before she became a staple within the studios, doing often uncredited back-up work for gospel, soul, disco and blues artists. However, when the commercial music landscape began to radically change during the '80s, demand for singers such as Sharon waned, and she soon found herself working at Rykers Island Jail as a corrections officer.
Fast forward to 1996. Still singing for her church, Sharon crosses paths with NYC's great indie-soul & funk label Desco Records. It is a match made in proverbial soul heaven; Sharon's hefty voice greased by Desco house-band, the Soul Providers. Several memorable singles are quickly put to wax, thus providing enough soul power to take Ms. Jones and the band across the Atlantic, giving the people a sense of what real music tasted like back in the day, while earning Sharon the title, "Queen of Funk". Sharon's first full-length album, 2002's successful Dap Dippin' with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings on Brooklyn-based Daptone Records, served to solidify her reputation as Soul Sister # 1. And, finally, after several more years of non-stop worldwide touring and recording with other notable artists such as Greyboy, Sharon Jones and her mighty Dap-Kings give you their finest full-length effort to date, Naturally. As Sharon says, "If you can't feel the music on this album, then you must be a dead ass!"
The Dap-Kings are the backing band for Sharon Jones, as well as the mighty house-band of Daptone records, today's premier source of real Funk & Soul. Led by bassist and producer Bosco Mann, the dapper eight-piece Dap-Kings--horns, guitars, congas and drum kit--always lay down a gritty groove. From meaty breakbeats and jams that echo the best of the JBs to beautiful ballads that would make Aretha smile, the veteran Dap-Kings know how to sweat and deliver. DJs, hip-hop producers and thousands of fans worldwide have taken notice.

Avatar director James Cameron has been hit with a new copyright lawsuit.
Elijah Schkeiban claims he created a fantasy franchise, called Bats & Butterflies, in 1988 – and it closely resembles Cameron's 2010 blockbuster.
Schkebian's story chronicled a hero's travels to a faraway planet, called Altair. In the project, the lead character finds himself lost in a forest and befriends a number of indigenous creatures and partners with a community of butterflies.
On Monday Schkeiban filed suit against Cameron in California, alleging the movie star lifted plot ideas and characters from his book, insisting the similarities between the works simply couldn't be coincidental, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This marks the latest legal hurdle for Cameron, who has been plagued by a slew of similar allegations since the movie's premiere in 2009 – in December he was hit with a $2.5 billion copyright lawsuit by a sci-fi screenwriter and earlier that month another plaintiff filed copyright infringement papers against Cameron, claiming he approached bosses at the director's production company Lightstorm Entertainment with an idea for an "environmentally themed 3D epic" back in 1999.
Avatar has raked in $2.78 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing film of all time.

|Another great recipe from Trisha Yearwood, this warm dip is made with artichoke hearts, mayo, feta cheese and Parmesan.
Warm Feta and Artichoke DipYou've probably tried the old standby Spinach and Artichoke Dip at some point, this is just a bit of a different take on that idea. We ate some of it with white corn tortilla chips, but I also had French bread in the house from the Homemade Roast Beef Po'Boys. I sliced off some of the tip end, buttered and then toasted the slices. Flipped them over, buttered and toasted the other side, and then top them off with some of the hot dip. Yum. Here's how to make it.
For more of my favorite dip recipes, visit my page on Pinterest!
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Recipe: Warm Feta and Artichoke Dip©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Sliced, toasted French bread, pita chips, Melba toast, corn chips or white corn tortilla chips, for dipping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. In a separate bowl, combine the artichoke hearts, feta, mayonnaise, Parmesan, pimientos and garlic until well blended. Transfer to the pie plate and bake at 350 degrees F, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.
Serve with pita chips, melba toast, corn chips, or tortilla chips, or spread on sliced, toasted bread.
Serving Suggestion: Martha, one of our Facebook readers suggested this Fried Bowtie Pasta as a dipper and I thought it was an excellent idea! Cook pasta, drain and pat dry, then toss with flour that has been seasoned with Cajun or Creole seasoning and deep fry. Drain and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while still hot. Leftovers can be stored and stay crispy.

It's not often people watch movies at 8:45 a.m., but if you haven't noticed, the staff at HMNS tends to do things a little differently. You would think that getting to watch a movie at work would be a perk I enjoy, but at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, it's hard to get inspired. You can imagine my surprise when I recently left the IMAX theatre having planned my summer 2009 vacation, with ideas bouncing around in my head like Mexican jumping beans after viewing Grand Canyon Adventure 3D: River at Risk.
Photo Safari in Kreuger National Park, South Africa
I am a huge fan of the outdoors; hiking, camping, biking, rafting, running – you name it! It was pure heaven to watch the adventures of this incredible team unfold as they navigated through the Colorado River via raft, inside of the majesty of the Grand Canyon.
I was reminded of all of the great adventures I've been on in the outdoors and all of the knowledge those experiences have brought me. Recently, I went on a Photo Safari in South Africa and was able to view lions, giraffe, rhino, honey badgers, and cheetah among many other animals. My trip affected my outlook on ecology and the effects of the actions of one being on another; it was truly a life-changing experience.

Medical students Randall Waldner, left, and Paul Rozeboom, right, enjoy the reaction of this elementary student at the Pierre, S.D., Indian Learning Center as he examines an X-ray image of a human hand.
Medical students visiting the Pierre Indian Learning Center pose in front of their nutrition poster as they prepare to talk with the students about making healthy food choices.
American Indian children and adolescents who are residents at the Pierre Indian Learning Center gather around visiting medical students for a presentation on personal hygiene.
First-year medical students from the University of South Dakota's Sanford School of Medicine pose for a photo inside the South Dakota Statehouse in Pierre. The annual excursion allows the students to meet with state legislators.
Susan Anderson, M.D., of Canistota, S.D., population 700, describes her state as a "big small town where everybody knows each other and is involved in a lot of things."
South Dakota is largely rural with a frontier feel, says Anderson, a family physician and past president of the South Dakota Academy of Family Physicians (SDAFP). All of that wide open space is interspersed with pockets of underserved populations, all of whom need a source of good primary health care.
In 2013, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the state's population at about 833,000, with a population density of just 10.9 people per square mile, putting it at 46th out of the 50 states. South Dakota also is home to a large American Indian population -- totaling about 9 percent of the state's total population -- that includes six Indian reservations and three tribal land areas.
Story highlights
- The South Dakota AFP (SDAFP) has accepted the challenge of helping fill the state's physician workforce pipeline to ensure that the state's medically underserved populations have access to good primary health care.
- The SDAFP works closely with the University of South Dakota's Sanford School of Medicine Department of Family Medicine to support a number of programs, including a service trip to a residential school for American Indian students called the Pierre Indian Learning Center.
- The chapter also throws its support -- both financially and in volunteer manpower -- behind South Dakota's Area Health Education Center program and the Health Occupation Students of America program.
Anderson, who in June will take the reins as chair of Department of Family Medicine at the University of South Dakota's Sanford School of Medicine in Sioux Falls, has been collaborating with others around the state to help ensure a workforce pipeline filled with medical students who will see the need and heed the call to train in, and stay in, the state.
Service Learning Project Opens Eyes, Hearts
In 2012, SDAFP Chapter Executive Carletta Hauck wrote a grant to establish funding that ultimately would take Sanford's first-year medical students on a required service learning project to the Pierre Indian Learning Center (PILC)(pilc.k12.sd.us), an academic residential facility for American Indian children from kindergarten through the eighth grade.
The children are voluntarily enrolled at the school by parents, grandparents or guardians and often are in need of medical care. For instance, in the 2011-12 academic year, 83 percent of the student body was documented as homeless. Students were treated for multiple ailments, including strep throat, staph infections, urinary problems, skin sores, rashes and ear infections.
"We take children who have not been successful educationally anywhere else," said PILC Residential Director Robert Hockett. Many of the children come from homes where "learning is secondary," and home life is part of the problem rather than the solution.
At PILC, "students thrive under the structure the school provides," said Hockett, who also serves as the school's social worker. "Here, they have a bed, they have a room and they have a bed time," said Hockett of the 168 students on campus in April 2014.
This past February, a fresh group of medical students disembarked from a long bus ride to spend some special time with children at the school.
"Our medical students don't necessarily know the degree of need there is, even in our own state, as far as health care and primary care, and so we try to expose them to that as much as we can," says Anderson.
"We know there aren't enough health care providers in our rural communities and in reservations in South Dakota," she says. However, "Family medicine is the flagship department of our medical school, and it's part of our mission statement to provide family physicians for the people of this state and, particularly, in underserved areas.
First-year medical student Matt Hustrulid uses a model of a human hand to totally engage two students at the Pierre Indian Learning Center during a small-group presentation on muscles and bones.
"This service trip to Pierre helps to highlight that."
Medical Students Share Experiences
Medical student Ryan Buse was among the medical students who made the now-annual February trip to the school. The students split into groups to present a mini health fair for students, and Buse's group focused on nutrition.
Buse first entertained the children with audience-participation magic tricks and then transitioned into a discussion about making good food choices "During the card tricks, their eyes lit up, and I knew they were ready to listen to the important stuff," he told AAFP News.
Keely Krolikowski was on the same bus trip, but chose an alternative school site option -- St. Joseph's Indian School(www.stjo.org) in Chamberlain, S.D., also a residential facility for Indian students.
Krolikowski told AAFP News that during her visit, the high-school students initially seemed distant. But when Krolikowski revealed her upbringing on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the atmosphere changed.
As this first-year medical student began to break down the social barriers, the high-school students seated around her began to see a glimpse of what could be their futures.
"We all started at the same place. You can better yourself," Krolikowski recalls telling the group after supper as she encouraged them to consider health care careers and investigate Indian Health Service scholarship programs. "You've just got to be willing to put in the work and the dedication," she told them.
Looking back, Krolikowski says the trip to Chamberlain solidified her decision to become a family physician and to return to the culture and environment where she was reared. "That's where I fit, and because of my background as a tribal member, maybe I will be able to make a difference," she says.
Facts About the South Dakota AFP
Chapter executive director: Carletta Hauck
Number of chapter members: 576
Year chapter was chartered: 1951
Location of chapter headquarters: Watertown
2015 SDAFP Winter Seminar: Jan 22-24, Deadwood, The Lodge at Deadwood
That kind of outcome is exactly what Anderson likes to hear. "Statistics bear out that often members of diverse populations will go back to serve their population as a health care provider. So we need to engage those young people and get them interested and help them succeed in a health care field," says Anderson.
"And then, if they desire it, they can go back and serve their family and friends."
Organized Programs Gain a Foothold
Getting South Dakota students to think about careers in medicine is an ongoing project on many fronts. For instance, the federally funded Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program(www.usd.edu) now sports two centers in the state.
The idea behind AHECs, a nationwide program that launched in 1971, "is to get kids interested in health care careers and get them trained and into areas of need," says H. Bruce Vogt, M.D., the soon-to-retire chair of Sanford Medical School's Department of Family Medicine and the current program director for the state's AHEC.
In 2012, the South Dakota AHEC launched the state's first Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) program(www.hosa.org). In just one year with financial support from the SDAFP, the HOSA program -- an outreach initative designed to introduce primarily high-school students to health care career possibilities -- grew from seven chapters and 284 student members to 12 chapters and more than 400 members.
"It's a great thing for our state, and it's all about health occupations," says Vogt.
"The South Dakota Academy provides tremendous organizational support of the medical school and the AHEC and HOSA programs, and is an extremely close partner in all of these activities," Vogt adds.
Looking to the Future
Elizabeth Gravley, M.D., was installed as the SDAFP president in February. She told AAFP News that for nearly 16 years, she has provided clinical, hospital, emergency room and nursing home services for patients in her rural community of Webster, population 1,800.
She feels fortunate to have graduated from the state's short-lived rural training track residency. "The year I graduated from the residency, the rural program was discontinued due to lack of funding," says Gravley. "The program directly contributed to my decision to pursue rural medicine in South Dakota," she adds.
Gravley says she is "acutely aware" of the importance of how South Dakota's aspiring physicians are trained. "Training students and residents in community-based settings and providing access to rural experiences will encourage our future family medicine specialists to practices in rural locations," she says.
According to Gravley, the SDAFP's decision to fund the HOSA program was directly tied to the chapter's ability to share the story of family medicine with high-school students, get involved with those students in their communities and then encourage them to pursue careers within the field of medicine.
After seeing the tremendous success of the high-school HOSA, Gravley would like to see the SDAFP fund a HOSA chapter for college students. But beyond that, she has an even bigger dream. "Much larger future goals for the South Dakota AFP would be to support any and all efforts to reinitiate a rural residency training program in family medicine," says Gravley.

It seems that we have too many Virgos at the Forest. This is causing serious astrological imbalances in our organisation and may be the root cause of our problems with the basement and indeed global warming
My proposal is
Cull 50% of Virgos in our organisation, this can be done humanely with some kind of virgocidal cleaning agent, I'm sure they'd appreciate a nice clean death
Have a moratorium on Virgo recruitment. Potential volunteers. Must bring in an astrological chart
Hire an astrologer to help us rebuild our team with the appropriate astrological mix (steady on the scorpio's and not too many Pisces)
Any thoughts and comments welcome. Unless your a Virgo

The ADP national employment report is computed from a subset of ADP records that represent approximately 400,000 U.S. business clients and approximately 23 million U.S. employees working in all private industrial sectors. ADP contracted with Moody's Analytics to compute a monthly report that would ultimately help to predict monthly nonfarm payrolls from the Bureau of Labor Statistic's employment situation. The ADP report only covers private (excluding government) payrolls.
Market players have become accustomed to the excitement on employment Friday and realize the rich detail of the monthly employment situation can help set the tone for the entire month. While economists have certainly improved their nonfarm payroll forecasts over the years, it is not unusual to see surprises on employment Friday. To that end, the new ADP national employment report can help improve the payroll forecast by providing information in advance of the employment report.
The employment statistics also provide insight on wage trends, and wage inflation is high on the list of enemies for the Federal Reserve. Fed officials constantly monitor this data watching for even the smallest signs of potential inflationary pressures, even when economic conditions are soggy. If inflation is under control, it is easier for the Fed to maintain a more accommodative monetary policy. If inflation is a problem, the Fed is limited in providing economic stimulus. The ADP national employment report does not yet have wage information, but their goal is to provide wage information, along with industry and regional information as well.
By tracking jobs, investors can sense the degree of tightness in the job market. If wage inflation threatens, it's a good bet that interest rates will rise; bond and stock prices will fall. No doubt that the only investors in a good mood will be the ones who watched the employment report and adjusted their portfolios to anticipate these events. In contrast, when job growth is slow or negative, then interest rates are likely to decline - boosting up bond and stock prices in the process.

New research highlights influence of intraspecific variability on biodiversity studies
(Phys.org)—A study of around 100 newly collected specimens of early ammonoids (marine invertebrates with distinctive coiled shells) suggests that the number of species they belong to might have been over-estimated due to the large variability in size and shape within each species.
Recognizing this intraspecific variability is important for biodiversity studies as failing to do so might artificially inflate the number of species known from a certain time or place.
Like dogs and various other organisms, ammonoids – a group of externally shelled cephalopods related to Nautilus, squids and octopods – show extremely large ranges in intraspecific variability in size and shape.
They have often been used to study changes in biodiversity, biogeography and extinction events in Earth history due to their high taxonomic and ecological diversity, wide geographic distribution, high evolutionary rates and preservable shell, as well as their successful evolutionary history on the Earth for over 300 million years. They survived multiple mass extinction events, only to go extinct together with the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous.
Dr Kenneth De Baets of the University of Bristol, with Dr Christian Klug (University of Zürich) and Dr Claude Monnet (University of Lille), studied the intraspecific variability through ontogeny (development of an organism) in early ammonoids, which has rarely been attempted before. Ammonoids are ideal for this type of study as they hold a record of growth from embryo to adult in their accretionary shell.
Dr De Baets said: "It took more than three years to collect and prepare around 100 Devonian ammonoid specimens from the same geological layer in the same region of Morocco."
The earliest ammonoids (Anetoceratinae) are known from the Early Devonian and are still loosely coiled with whorls not, or only partially, in contact. A fairly high number of genera (eight) and species (twenty-four) of Anetoceratinae have been defined, which might be due to considerable intraspecific variability in conch geometry and rib spacing.
Dr De Baets's study, published in Paleobiology, could quantitatively demonstrate a large intraspecific variability in ribbing and shell shape in these early ammonoids. Only two species could be separated rather than the four previously recognized in Morocco and the range of multiple, previously defined, global species fell within the range of a single species. Hence, the number of currently valid species of ammonoids is probably much too high in the Devonian and in general. Despite this large intraspecific variability, different species could still be separated using their entire ontogeny.
This is important because underestimating or ignoring intraspecific variability can lead to 'taxonomic oversplitting' where specimens that are actually of the same species are identified as belonging to different species. This significantly biases taxonomy and diversity counts. For example, the effect of the Frasnian-Famennian extinction, one of the Big Five mass extinctions in Earth history, on ammonoids might have been significantly overestimated as it is based on the diversity of manticoceratids like Manticoceras, an extinct genus of ammonoid, which was artificially inflated by oversplitting.
Dr De Baets, now a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) postdoctoral fellow at the University of Bristol, said: "Our study does not only demonstrate the need to integrate intraspecific variability to avoid artificial fluctuations of diversity in ammonoids, but also more generally in all other fossil groups."

By Cameron Huddleston, Online Editor November 26, 2012 A record 89 million shoppers flocked to stores on Black Friday this year to take advantage of deals, according to the National Retail Federation. So to say that the stores were crowded the day (and entire weekend) after Thanksgiving would probably be an understatement. DOWNLOAD: The Kip Tips iPad App "Black Friday is not for the faint of heart," says Bill Martin, founder of ShopperTrak, which analyzes retail foot traffic. "Shoppers must brave the crowds to take advantage of good deals." However, he says that consumers will be rewarded if they venture out this week or in early December because retailers will continue to offer discounts but the crowds will have dwindled dramatically. In fact, shopping on the days with the lightest retail traffic offers consumers the chance to get the best customer service and possibly the best deals, Martin says. Advertisement If you're looking for a crowd-free shopping experience, here are the ten days that are expected to have the least amount of foot traffic in stores this holiday season, according to ShopperTrak. 1.

December 10, Monday 10. December 11, Tuesday The stores won't be busy on these days because they are all weekdays and most shoppers will be taking a break following the big-spending Black Friday weekend. By December 12, though, the crowds will return as last-minute holiday shoppers head to the stores to buy gifts. Follow me on Twitter Show comments

Bruno Mars never looks like he's trying too hard. But don't be fooled. He's working every moment he's onstage.
The diminutive singer was at a frenetic pace from the moment he stepped onstage Thursday night at Toyota Center. He charged through triumphant opener "Moonshine" and "Natalie" with ease. His brown vest, gold chains and increasingly large afro was pure old-school charm.
"This is what we came to do. We came to get you all movin'. We came to get you all shakin'. We came to get you all dancin'," Mars told the sold-out crowd. "Put those camera phones down and move."
Every song came with high-stepping, smiley-faced choreography from Mars and his tight, terrific band (including a showy horn section). He strapped on a guitar during a "Money (That's What I Want)"/"Billionaire" mashup.
Thursday's set was an extended version of Mars' RodeoHouston debut earlier this year, which drew the fifth-largest crowd in history. There's nothing quite like 75,175 fans at Reliant Center. But the energy inside the downtown venue often felt as big.
Mars has a sweet, soulful voice that works well within his poppy catalog. Live, however, he's able to stretch past top 40 confines and dig deeper into his influences — everything from classic Motown to Michael Jackson. He extended current hit "Treasure," dressing it up with vocal licks. The looming, elegant intensity of "Grenade" (a song that already sounds like a pop classic) was capped with a new coda. There were new vocal runs during "Just the Way You Are." And Mars showcased sharp drumming skills during "Locked Out of Heaven."
He managed a squeal-inducing mashup of Ginuwine's "Pony," R. Kelly's "Ignition" and his own "My First Time." The frenetic energy of "Runaway Baby" reverberated through the crowd, and "If I Knew" was an old-school serenade for a female fan in the front row.
Mars called mournful ballad "When I Was Your Man" the hardest song he's ever had to write or sing. Every voice in the venue seemed t to be singing alongside him. You could almost feel the collective swoon.
Ellie Goulding's 45-minute opening set was a strong showcase for her pulsing dance-pop. She frequently pounded on a drum and strummed a guitar during "Don't Say a Word," "Burn" and "Explosions." Her leather shorts, crop top and tanned skin made her look like a fitness instructor.
By the time Goulding closed with her most recognizable tunes — "Anything Can Happen," I Need Your Love," "Lights" — a large chunk of the early crowd was on its feet and dancing.

10th Anniversary
Johnnie Blend has been making music (and jokes) for the last decade
May 4, 2012
By Jill Yanish '13
What do you get when you throw together students with a range of majors from management to chemistry, an array of personalities including shy, funny, sassy and teddy bear-like and a mix of interests from football to music?
Answer: an a capella group called Johnnie Blend.
Ten Johnnies combine their personal diversity to create the unique sound of Johnnie Blend. The group dynamics change each year as students graduate and new members join. Each member brings his different voice to create music that replaces instruments with vocals. Just recently, the group celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Although Johnnie Blend is not officially affiliated with Saint John's and has no formal leadership roles, the group has sustained itself for 10 years. The group relies on its motto to have fun and entertain the audience in order to keep the singing group tradition alive in Collegeville.
"The guys in the group have been really dedicated every year. Johnnie Blend has a great tradition, so when you come into it, you feel like you're part of a bigger deal than just joining an a capella group," junior member Jack Barrett said.
About eight Johnnie Blend alumni came back to their roots to pick up a mic along with the current members for the 10th anniversary concert on April 20. They sang Johnnie Blend's signature song, "Irish Blessing."
The group sings a variety of music, such as songs from Andy Grammer, Journey, Creed, The Real Group, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Music is not the only thing performed at the Johnnie Blend concerts. Audience members also get a comedy show from the singers, which usually consist of jokes made about each other.
"We're very close knit," Barrett says. "We're very comfortable with each other. We rip on each other all the time. We see each other more than we see anyone else."
The closeness of the group is a result of the numerous hours spent practicing during the week. Johnnie Blend members spend one to two hours practicing every evening and of course joking around.
Group bonding extends beyond the practice room and stage. Senior member Jake Ingalls notes how the group never ceases to have fun when they are together. Last year, the group went to Buffalo Wild Wings, where it happened to be a college-aged woman's birthday party. The Johnnie Blend members sang happy birthday and proceeded to sing more songs to her and her friends. Ingalls said that their singing was "very well received by the women" - they even got Facebook friend requests.
In fact, that is one of Ingalls's favorite parts of being in Johnnie Blend. As he prepares to graduate and leave the group, he said he is going to miss the prestigious position of being a Johnnie Blend member.
"I (joined) because girls like it," Ingalls jokes.
Although Ingalls describes Johnnie Blend membership as being prominent, the group's name does not come with much prestige, according to Barrett. One does not have to look further than the coffee pot in Sexton labeled "Johnnie Blend" to find the origin of the group's name.
Ingalls, the self-acclaimed "comic relief" of Johnnie Blend, hopes that the tradition continues. He leaves current and future Johnnie Blend members on a high note.
"I hope Johnnie Blend never becomes too rigid," Ingalls said. "I hope it always remains fun."

New Super Robot With Twin Guns Is Unveiled http://ow.ly/cCQ9j
A massive robot that can carry a seated human pilot, and is armed with twin gatling guns, has gone on show in Japan.
Kuratas is described as the world's first giant boarding robot, no doubt inspired by the "mechs" of Japanese anime and manga comic book culture which features human controllers inside a walking vehicle.
But Kuratas is different in that it offers two types of control system.
The robot can be piloted directly (Ala Avatar), or remotely by a user connected to a 3G device such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone (drone).
The firm that made the robot, Suidobashi Heavy Industry, even released a tongue-in-cheek video showing how to operate the robot.
It was unveiled to the world at the Wonder Festival in the Tokyo suburb of Chiba.
Kuratas, which is referred to as the Vaudeville project in a promotional video, has two humanoid arms and four wheeled legs – and twin six-barrelled gatling guns – which fire BB-sized pellets at the rate of 6,000 rounds per minute.
According to Suidobashi, the weapons are fired when the operator smiles – a system known as "the smile shot".
Onlookers immediately likened the presence of the guns to the bipedal ED-209 from Paul Verhoeven's 1987 movie Robocop.
The Enforcement Droid was being presented to a board meeting when it malfunctioned, fatally opening fire on a hapless young OCP executive called Mr Kinney.
There was no such mishap at the Wonder Festival, and the robot was even allowed out onto the streets of Tokyo, where it was seen being driven through the traffic powered by a diesel engine.
The device, which travels at just 7mph, can be set to move in a low or high position to enhance the pilot's field of view.
It also features a Lohas launcher – which fires bottles of water – and Iron Crow hands and "feet".
The robot is huge – measuring four metres in height and weighing four tonnes.
But it also comes with a suitably huge price tag, setting potential purchasers back $1m (637,000).
However, anyone wanting to buy one of the custom-built machines does have a choice of colours – including pink.

Premier League: Arsenal come from two down to draw 2-2 at home to Liverpool
Arsenal produced a second-half comeback to draw 2-2 with Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
Last Updated: 30/01/13 10:50pm
The home side's defensive weaknesses were exposed as goals from Luis Suarez and Jordan Henderson put the Reds two up but Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott salvaged a point for the Gunners.
While the visitors started brightly, there appeared no danger as the ball rolled towards Bacary Sagna but his stumble followed by Thomas Vermaelen's air-kick allowed Daniel Sturridge a clear sight at goal.
Wojciech Szczesny produced the save from close range but when Aaron Ramsey failed to clear, there was Suarez to tuck the ball away via a deflection off Per Mertesacker.
The lively opening continued as Walcott had an immediate opportunity to equalise as he got away down the right channel but saw his near-post drive brilliantly saved by Pepe Reina.
But it was Liverpool causing the bulk of the problems with Szczesny almost letting in Sturridge after some ill-advised dallying over a back-pass.
The Gunners goalkeeper was stranded again shortly afterwards when he came for a corner only to see Daniel Agger get there first and it required Lukas Podolski on the line to smuggle the ball away.
There was still time for Giroud to head at Reina and Henderson to misjudge a chipped effort with Szczesny off his line before the referee blew the whistle for half time.
Arsenal came out strongly after the interval but Henderson silenced the crowd on the hour mark with a mazy run from the right that - coupled with a fortunate deflection - saw him beat two men and tuck the ball away.
But just as Liverpool looked to have the game in the bag, Giroud headed home a free-kick from the right after good work from Walcott and the momentum was all with Arsenal once again.
Minutes later, Giroud turned provider as he laid the ball off for Walcott and the England man fired off a blistering shot that rifled past Reina before the Liverpool keeper had the chance to move.
Giroud then went close to completing the turnaround when he just failed to divert a cross-shot into the net with minutes remaining but the Gunners could not find a winner in an entertaining contest.

One criticism of the UN High Level Meeting on Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs), held in New York over September 19-20, is that donor nations came to the table, but made no real financial commitments to deal with the rising tide of NCDs. In part because of the global financial crisis that is squeezing all major sources of development assistance for health, but also because of the enormity of the problem, few nations stepped forward with significant new resources to combat illnesses like cancer, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes and mental illness that were the focus of the meeting. Some commentators singled out the US Government for special criticism, noting that the United States typically leads the planet in providing funding for global health. In some quarters, unfavorable comparisons were drawn between the commitments made by the Bush Administration following the first UN High Level Meeting on a global health topic (AIDS in 2001).
But the Obama Administration announced two important new commitments with potential significant impact on NCDs just prior to the New York meeting, oddly enough by a US Government agency known mainly in the health sphere for its work on an infectious disease. On September 13, the State Department and the George W. Bush Institute announced a significant expansion of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)'s existing work to combat cervical cancer. Because of that cancer's connection to reproductive health -- many cervical cancers are caused by infection from human papilloma virus (HPV) transmitted sexually – and the fact that HIV-positive women also infected with HPV are at increased risk for cervical cancer, PEPFAR announced it would be increasing the US Government commitment to screen and treat for this type of cancer from $20 million over five years to $30 million, a 50 percent increase. The goal of this activity will be to reduce deaths from cervical cancer by an estimated 25 percent among women screened and treated through the initiative. Adding to this effort, the announcement also included significant in-kind donations from companies including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Becton Dickenson, and QUIAGEN. Together, this initiative known as Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon (PRRR), amounts to new commitments of $75 million.
But the significance of PRRR only becomes clear in its second element – breast cancer education. Through PRRR's highly innovative public-private partnership, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is also adding funding to expand breast cancer awareness and prevention among the same target population of women receiving care at PEPFAR-funded HIV service sites. Of course this sort of integrated prevention program makes good public health sense; one would always provide as much health-related information to women in a clinic setting as possible, dealing with cervical and breast cancer awareness together. However, even though PEPFAR has been one of the most successful global health programs in history, its success has been limited to work only on HIV/AIDS and closely-related conditions, in part because its Congressional authorization limits PEPFAR funds to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care. For example, contraceptives provided to women in PEPFAR-supported clinics must be purchased by other programs of the host government, the U.S. government, or another donor, where available, rather than by PEPFAR. Through PRRR, the wonderfully robust PEPFAR prevention and treatment platform, considered one of the great global health achievements in recent times, has been made available to a whole new type of prevention – in this case for an NCD.
This intriguing and creative model has potentially far-reaching consequences. Imagine if other private funders decided to provide resources for diabetes or cardiovascular care, and were able to utilize PEPFAR clinics to make these services available. In the end, the opening up and integrating of the PEPFAR platform could turn out to be one of the most revolutionary "outcomes" of the UN High Level Meeting. Today, because of PRRR, women in Africa will receive HIV/AIDS prevention and care and integrated breast cancer education. Will tomorrow see the integration of an entire spectrum of NCD prevention?

Thanks for the comment, Johanna. You are right: a whole person approach to prevention would avoid a lot of the issues that result from even well-intentioned but narrowly-focused programs. The key to broadening the PEPFAR platform though will be finding the resources outside the existing HIV/AIDS funding stream. There are very real limits placed by the US Congress on what PEPFAR can do beyond HIV/AIDS prevention, and there is no other logical place to look within the US Foreign Assistance funding structure right now to support a general non communicable disease prevention strategy. Other potential large-scale funders, like the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, Malaria and TB, have their own fiscal constraints right now and are certainly not looking to expand their mandates into NCDs. The only real option may be to build upon existing platforms using strategic investments from private funders until the main international donors for health assistance (USAID, DFID, JAICA, the Nordics and others) are prepared to come to the table.
I want to start by thanking Dialogue4Health for taking up this discussion. In the lead up to the UN High Level Meeting (HLM) on NCDs, the NCD community turned to the HIV/AIDS community for guidance on how to best approach an HLM on health given their success on HIV/AIDs in 2001. Going forward, we may very well turn once more to the HIV/AIDS community for guidance, this time on implementation and integration of services. As you have mentioned, some initial joint NCD-HIV/AIDS projects have already begun. In addition to high level initiatives such as Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon, promising results have been seen in country level programs as demonstrated by an FHI pilot program in Kenya integrating cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening and prevention counseling into HIV clinics, meanwhile collecting vital data that could reveal more about the biological links between CVD and HIV. However I would agree, it would be ideal if we could see integration not only of CVD or breast and cervical cancer prevention and screening with HIV services but rather the development of a whole-of-body approach to the clinical encounter.
In some cases, the success of modern medicine has allowed HIV/AIDS to itself become a chronic condition that requires ongoing care, much the same as NCDs. If care centers are currently equipped to manage the chronic care of HIV/AIDS patients, why not expand the services provided to cover other conditions as well? Additionally, HIV is a contributor to cardiovascular disease. HIV positive patients, especially those on antiretroviral treatments, are at a higher risk of developing CVD. Given that the greatest increase in NCD deaths is predicted to occur in Africa, a region which also experiences the highest rates of HIV/AIDS, it seems most appropriate that NCD prevention be integrated into the HIV/AIDS care setting. Let one of the revolutionary outcomes of the UN High Level Meeting indeed be integration of services and partnership across disease groups.

PEMBROKE, N.C. – The Georgia College baseball team (9-7, 3-3 PBC) took a Peach Belt Conference (PBC) series at No. 24 UNC Pembroke (13-5, 4-5 PBC) winning a 9-2 game Sunday for a 2-1 series victory.
Righty starter Justin Blue (Mulberry, Fla.) tossed eight innings, scattering eight UNCP hits for just two unearned runs. Blue (3-2) tallied six strikeouts, and has gone at least six innings in four of his five starts. Just one of the eight hits went for extra bases, a Ben Schmucker double.
First baseman Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) swatted his third home run of the season as part of a 3-for-4 day, driving in four and scoring twice. Ardeeser's home run was a solo shot in the third, as the Bobcats scored in all but two of the game's innings.
Leftfielder Taylor Hinshaw (Winder, Ga.) added his own solo home run in the sixth, Hinshaw's third this season. Five of the team's nine hits went for extra bases.
Dale Innes (2-1) lasted seven innings in the loss, fanning seven; five of Innes' six runs were earned.
The victory for the Bobcats gives Georgia College a 2-4 mark against ranked opponents this season.
The Bobcats are back in action Tuesday, March 5 at 2 p.m., hosting Florida Tech (14-4).

Situated in the south of England, Dorset benefits from a beautifully temperate climate. It is perfect for those who love to be within reach of the coast as well as the countryside. Why not consider renting a self-catering beach house in Lyme Regis? You and your family will have more room to move than in a restricted hotel room. What's more, you will have the freedom to cook as and when you please. If you prefer to see rolling green hills outside your window, a set of rooms in a farmhouse would be ideal for you.
The county of Dorset is perhaps best known for its Jurassic Coastline, which is a World Heritage Site. Lyme Regis, with its thirteenth-century harbour, the Cobb, is a popular and picturesque setting. Inland, there is a wealth of other attractions; the town of Sherborne has an Abbey Church and two castles, one dating from the eleventh century and the other from the sixteenth. Bridport nestles amongst the West Dorset hills and is an ideal centre from which to go walking, horse riding or cycling. History lovers will not want to miss the Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum in Dorchester. Interested in architecture? Why not visit the town of Beaminster with its two hundred listed buildings.
There are plenty of attractions throughout Dorset for families with young children. Dorchester has museums for those interested in dinosaurs or teddy bears, while at Lulworth Castle and Park there is an animal farm as well as an adventure playground. In Wareham you can see the largest collection of chimpanzees outside of Africa at Monkey World – Ape Rescue Centre; there is an adventure play park there too. At Abbotsbury Swannery, you might be lucky enough to see cygnets hatching. Putlake Adventure Farm in Swanage will delight with its farm animals, and it has an indoor play centre for rainy days.
Renting self-catering accommodation in Dorset is an option that is bound to save you money on hotels. Whether it's an apartment by the beach or a holiday cottage in the heart of the countryside that you are looking for, we have a wide range of low-cost accommodation to offer you. Consider booking your holiday in either June or September to bring the cost down even further. Our genuine customer reviews will help you to make the right choice, and you can be assured of getting the best value for your holiday when you book through us.

First or last-touch attribution models may result in companies seriously over or undervaluing specific marketing channels, according to Indianapolis-based firm SlingshotSEO. In the largest study of its kind, the SEO service company analyzed more than 23 million multiple-interaction conversions across 30 domains over a period of one year. Based on their findings, they've released a step-by-step guide to multi-touch attribution.
In first and last-touch attribution models, marketers give credit to only one referral source for each conversion. In reality, consumers may take several steps in discovering, researching, considering and buying a product or service.
Multi-touch attribution helps marketers consider all aspects of the path to conversion, enabling them to make better business and budget decisions based on how consumers find and buy. In flat multi-touch attribution, all channels (organic, paid search, social, etc.) are weighted equally.
In their examination of enterprise-level client conversions, Slingshot SEO found that:
- Organic search was undervalued by as much as 77.25 percent
- Paid advertising and referrals were also undervalued in most cases.
- Direct visits were overvalued by as much as 81.59 percent
"Google Analytics just released multi-channel funnels last year, so people may not be aware of how to use this, Evan Fishkin, Head of Research & Development, told Search Engine Watch. "We did a flat model and divided each channel out evenly, but you can change those parameters."
You should weight channels according to your business needs, Fishkin recommends. It is a necessity to look at all interactions rather than just the last touch, in order to allot the proper percentage of your budget to each channel.
Organic is often undervalued, Slingshot suggests, because it is nearer the top of the funnel and functions more as a research vessel. Users took 2.79 actions before converting, they note, with a branded keyword search or direct visit often the last action. However, they had completed their initial research at that point and were ready to buy.
Direct Visits Universally Overvalued; Organic Undervalued by 77.25 Percent
SlingshotSEO's research spanned sites in a number of industries, including Retail, Home & Garden, Finance & Insurance, Health & Wellness, Business & Industrial, and Computers & Consumer Electronics.
Interestingly, organic search and non-branded organic search were undervalued across the board, by all 30 test subjects (domains). Multi-touch attribution showed that "organic search" should have been worth as much as 77.25 percent more than previously thought, and "non-branded organic" should have been worth as much as 81.59 percent more.
Direct visits, meanwhile, were overvalued on all 30 test sites and should have been worth as much as 35.74 percent less. An overvalued marketing channel means that budget allotted to that avenue might be better spent on another. Conversely, an undervalued channel presents an opportunity for better utilization and increased revenue if its potential is realized.
Top 20 Most Common Conversion Paths
These are the most common paths taken to conversion (in paths with more than two steps) during the study, though they don't shine any light on user behavior or motivation. Rather, says the report, "The table is helpful because it outlines which overall paths are most likely to be taken by a user without having to apply a multi-touch model to break out the values between each individual channel."
The report also notes there are numerous paths beyond those in the top 20; this simply "speaks to the need for the quantitative analysis from a multi-touch model to prioritize channels more effectively."
How to Implement a Multi-Touch Model
Fishkin and study co-author statistician Casey Szulc break down the multi-touch attribution model on pages three to five of the study. They offer a step-by-step process marketers can implement to take advantage of the more accurate data available within Google Analytics.
The goal is to compare conversions (last-touch) with attributed conversions (flat multi-touch) for a specific channel, according to Slingshot. Their instruction will show you how to do just that. If you have the time, said Szulc, always do your analysis based on this model.
Fishkin recommends marketers reevaluate at least quarterly.
"It depends on the size of the business; if you're only getting 100 visitors every 3 months, you're probably not receiving the amount of data to allow you to make good business decisions," he said. "Evaluate campaigns as often as your business requirements demand."

Relocation UK – Companies That Can Help You Obtain Your UK Visa
If you're seeking to make an international relocation to London, the first thing you'll need to make it happen is your UK visa. Easier said than done, right? Yet the effort is not only worth it but imperative. Without your visa, you will not be permitted to live, work, or study in the United Kingdom, dashing any dreams of moving to London. And while our London Relocation agents can do a lot of the work for you in finding where to rent London apartments, negotiating rent and lease terms, referring you to utility service providers, and assisting with other aspects of settling in, the London Relocation company itself unfortunately can't assist with your visa process—other than to answer general questions on which visa you likely need (Tier 2 is most common for professionals, Tier 4 for students), how to contact the UK Border Agency, etc.

I'm currently staying with my parents as all our floors get refinished before our big kitchen install starts in a couple days! It's moving pretty darn fast! While here we went to check on the progress of the beach house my parent's are building (designed by my Dad and his firm). It's pretty exciting stuff.
A rendering nailed up in the frame.
It's amazing how fast framing happens!
Looking into the vaulted living room- will have a great stone fireplace between those windows!
Views to the water and shipyard down the hill.
We went to one of the local lobster places for lunch (yes, there's multiple lobster places). While I don't like lobster (I know, try to contain your horror- I don't eat sushi either) it's a cute place to have some chowder as well!
Ford's is kinda famous for their buoys.
And they go back a ways…. don;t you love the wall color? It reminds me a lot of Farrow & Ball's Arsenic.
Love this little painting from a local gallery- too bad it's sold, would have been a great housewarming gift!
The town they are building in is a little boating village on the CT shore…. it's very quaint and cute (P.S. that lighthouse is now a private residence. Oh yeah.)
I mean, look at the little local store/diner. How Americana is that?
While back at my house it looks like THIS. The Wellbuilt crew is working round the clock to get us back in there!!!
But our floors are coming out lovely. I was pretty stressed out about the stain colors. We tried a few and I wasn't loving any of them. I wanted them to be dark but not TOO dark, brown but not red. But not grey either. I actually didn't sleep one night because I was fretting so about this decision (I know, you don't want my problems…) So I researched a bit online and found out that many people, including the DIY expert Jenny from LGN suggested a mix of 50% Minwax Jacobean and 50% Ebony. I had tested both those on their own and didn't like them but together- I think we have a winner!
REALITY!!!!! (Now we just need three coats of poly and we're golden!)
How was your long weekend?

Part II: Cruising the Mediterranean's Top Ports
Antoni Gaudi's magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, is Barcelona's most iconic landmark. --Photo by David Dickstein
Tapas are a quick, easy and usually economical way to get your fill in Barcelona. --Photo by David Dickstein
Warm climate. Cultures dating back thousands of years. Exotic destinations known for their food and wine. Luxurious floating resorts that take you there.
What's not to like about Mediterranean cruising?
Romantic Rome, alluring Athens and navigable Naples were featured in part one (http://bit.ly/2iX6DVn) of our Top 10 list of favorite Mediterranean ports. Now let's go on a journalistic jaunt to the fourth- through sixth-ranked exceptional destinations that delighted during back-to-back 10-day Mediterranean cruises aboard the resplendent Celebrity Reflection and bar-raising Carnival Vista.
#4: Barcelona
Spain's second-largest metropolis is the whole package, offering everything you want from a cruise port without need of a shore excursion or private guide. The city of Gaudi, Picasso and Miro doesn't take an expert to find spectacular sights, superb shopping, a breathtaking beach and fabulous food and drink. People watching also is bar none; Barcelona is blessed with model citizens – meaning so many of its people look like models!
For cruisers, exploring is really as simple as going into town by cab, telling the driver to plop you pretty much anywhere, then walking in any direction. Chances are you'll fall in love with this luxurious and electrifying port – and its beautiful people – whether you stroll La Rambla, the three-lined pedestrian thoroughfare popular with tourists and locals alike, or the cobblestone-paved old town known as Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter), where Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro once dwelled. No visit is complete without paying homage to Antoni Gaudi's distinctive style of Catalan Modernism. His work graces the city's architecturally rich landscape, including at his magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia. Giant cranes have been a mainstay of the inimitable Roman Catholic church for decades – the project was less than a quarter complete when Gaudi died in 1926 at the age of 73. But an international labor of love vows to complete the city's most iconic symbol in 2026, the centenary of Gaudi's death. There will be plenty of toasts with glasses of cava then, but why wait as just a few steps from wherever you are is likely a fantastic tapas bar or café pouring the local sparkling wine that pairs perfectly with the array of small plates ready to be devoured.
#5: Florence
The port of Livorno on the Etruscan Coast of Tuscany serves as the gateway to Florence and Pisa for more than 15 major cruise lines. Shore excursion desks keep busy fulfilling passengers' wishes to discover the area's famous religious sites.
Most large ships offer a "Florence & Pisa on Your Own" tour, and at $90 for an adult ticket, $80 for children, Carnival's excursion might actually be underpriced. The reason is you're being lied to when they say "on your own," and that's great! A local escort narrates the 1 1/2-hour coach ride to Florence, then provides directions, maps, tips and other guidance before saying "ciao for now" in Santa Croce Square. The roughly three hours of independent exploring are well spent checking out the Duomo with its cathedral, bell tower and Baptistry, the cherished Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno River, the countless leather shops, and the best pasta and gelato within walking distance according to Yelp or Trip Advisor. You're really on your own if you want to see Michelangelo's "David" statue at Accademia Gallery, but replicas of the marble masterpiece can be found elsewhere in the old city. From Florence it's a 1 1/2-hour drive to Pisa for a visit to Miracle Square and its famously leaning 645-year-old tower. Don't be shy about taking a photo of you trying to right the foundation-challenged bell tower. You're a tourist!
#6: Santorini
Whoever said "getting there is half the fun" never went to the Taj Mahal or Greece's most picturesque, dramatic and tourism-dependent island. India isn't on the Mediterranean, so we'll leave the ghastly drive from New Delhi to Agra for another story. As for Santorini, there's no getting around a tender ride and a 400-meter climb up the cliffs of a caldera to reach Fira, a pretty town in itself, but not as picturesque as Oia a half-hour cab or bus ride northwest. Almost every shore excursion begins in Fira. Your easiest of three options to reach the plateau is a 5-Euro cable car ride with likely long lines (especially coming down). Masochists might prefer a bumpy donkey 5-Euro ride (plus tip) that several people told me is a minor hell or a zig-zagging 488-step footpath that's free, but also complementary are the aromatic and messy souvenirs left by the aforementioned beasts. Every cruiser who hoofed it by their own power or a donkey's told me later that they were too tired and sweaty to enjoy the first glimpse of the destination's famous whitewashed houses and blue domes sparkling under the sunlight. Take the cable car.
Your payoff is a place where a bad selfie background doesn't exist. Good luck not being photobombed, though; so much beauty attracts so many people. The chalk-white buildings, crawling bougainvillea and dramatic coastline, coupled with interesting museums, churches and boutiques, lure nearly 800,000 cruisers a year, and the locals aren't too happy about that. A newly imposed cap on ship-arriving visitors has put a small dent on the number of itineraries that include Santorini, particularly during the high season of July through mid-September. But that's a small inconvenience compared to the benefits to visitors and residents alike.
The spectacular ports of Marseilles, Kusadasi, Rhodes and Mykonos will help us round out the Top 10 next time.

The Newtown Jets claimed a confidence-boosting 22-0 win over old rivals the Balmain Tigers, in the 7th round NSW Cup match played at Henson Park on Easter Saturday
Overnight and morning rain might have restricted the size of the crowd for this local derby but nothing restrained the joyous relief in the Jets dressing-room at fulltime. In addition to taking the two badly-needed competition points, Newtown won the MUA Solidarity Cup for the first time, a trophy competed for by these two Rugby League foundation clubs whenever they meet at Henson Park.
The Jets also unveiled their new signing, the former Wests Tigers, Balmain and Avignon halfback Blake Lazarus, who immediately displayed his credentials to the Henson Park diehards with a kick charge-down in the game's opening skirmishes, and then by scoring a smartly-taken try in the fourth minute of play. Newtown led 6-0 at the break and coach Greg Matterson impressed upon his players at halftime to maintain their concentration and discipline, to continue to play for field position and to frustrate the Tigers at their own game and force them into rash options and errors.
Newtown's second half was a prime example of what can be gained from an improved and resolute defensive performance and a general improvement in the kicking game. Coach Matterson said after the match that the squad had worked extremely hard on their defensive drills in the preceding week, with the consequent result of holding an opposing team to nil for the first time in two years. Matterson commended Newtown's backrowers ex-Tiger Willie Mataka, Brad Barrett and Aidan Guerra for their exceptional defensive efforts, but noted that the team still had plenty of room for improvement in their attacking game in the upcoming rounds.
New halfback Blake Lazarus added an element of composure to Newtown's performance and also brought on board a better-targeted and more effective kicking game. The Jets coaching staff nominated skipper Khalid Deeb, hooker Scott Jones, Mataka, Barrett and Guerra as being the best of Newtown's hard-working forwards, and indicated that fullback Mark Kheirallah and winger Steve Naughton were the best of the other backs. Naughton is having a fine season and is showing his full range of ability after an injury-disrupted 2010. Forwards Mataka and Jones had topped the tackle count figures, with Barrett and five-eighth Johnno Ford not far behind.
The Jets travel across the Harbour for their 8th round NSW Cup match against another long-time rival in Manly-Warringah. This match at the Sea Eagles famed Brookvale Oval fortress gets underway on Saturday, 30th April at 3.00pm.
This match between Newtown and Balmain can be seen on Fox Sports on Wednesday, 27th April at 4.30pm.
NSWRL NSW Cup - Round 7 Saturday, 23rd April 2011 Henson Park Newtown v Balmain Kick-Off: 3.00pm.
Newtown 22: Blake Lazarus, Ryan Verlinden, Rhys Pritchard, Mark Kheirallah tries; Mark Kheirallah 3 goals defeated Balmain nil.
Half-Time: Newtown led 6-0.
Referee: Matthew Noyen. Touch Judges: Zbigniew Przeklasa-Adamski, Nathan Smith
Weather: Overcast, cool Playing Surface: Excellent.
This match was played at Henson Park.
Newtown's team was: 7 - Mark Kheirallah 1 - Steve Naughton, 5 - Rhys Pritchard 3 - Kane Linnett, 4 - Francis Vaiotu 6 - Johnathon Ford, 18 - Blake Lazarus 13 - Willie Mataka 11 - Aidan Guerra, 12 - Brad Barrett 8 - Francis Tuigamala, 10 - Khalid Deeb (Capt.) 9 - Byron Fruean. Bench: 14 - Ahmad Ellaz, 26 - Scott Jones 16 - Boyd Strickland, 19 - Brett Lane 21 - Ryan Verlinden.

Frying Outdoors
This is the best-known method, and has spawned a slew of unfortunate deep-fried-turkey disaster videos. Frankly, I think this method is pretty darned dangerous.
You'll need an outdoor turkey-frying rig, which includes a burner and stand, a pot, a thermometer for the oil, and the hanger and lowering mechanism for the bird. I used a Brinkmann model; Kenji has used the Bayou Classic. Neither of us has complaints about them. You'll also need a propane tank. You should not try to jury-rig your own setup.
The biggest mistakes people make when using this method are: setting up the fryer in or near a home or other combustible thing, overfilling the pot so that the hot oil spills over when the turkey is lowered into it, and dropping the turkey, causing the hot oil to splash.
You should also have a fire extinguisher nearby that is rated to work with grease fires; attempting to extinguish a grease fire with water is incredibly dangerous.
To avoid an overflow of oil, it's necessary to first determine exactly how much oil you need. To do that, put the turkey in the pot and fill it with water, measuring as you go, until the turkey is covered by about half an inch or so; remove the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels.
Once the turkey is removed, the water in the pot should be below the maximum fill line. Pour out the water, dry the pot well, then fill the pot with the equivalent amount of oil.
A good setup should be in an open area, a safe distance from anything combustible. In the photo above, you can see we've set the burner and propane tank on a concrete surface, and there's nothing within about 10 feet of it in any direction. Be sure not to walk between the propane tank and the burner: You can trip on the gas line, causing the pot of oil to tumble.
Once the oil has reached its temperature, about 350°F (177°C), insert the hanger through the bird.
When you're ready to lower the turkey into the oil, you're going to want to wear heavy oven mitts and a solid pair of shoes, and not have any skin showing. Shorts and sandals are a bad idea.
Kenji recommends shutting off the burner for this part, then relighting it once the turkey is in the pot so there's no chance at all of a flare-up during turkey entry. That's a good idea (you'll see why in a second), though it also means monkeying around under a pot of hot oil to relight the burner after the bird is in, which comes with its own risks.
Lower the turkey very, very slowly. Ease it into the oil, and if anything seems to go wrong, abort by carefully lifting the turkey out, not by dropping it in—splashing oil can mess you up real bad.
In the photo above, you'll see why it's a good idea to turn the burner off when lowering the turkey into the oil, and also why the maximum size bird (in this case, 18 pounds) is not a great idea.
Even though I had measured my oil carefully to account for displacement, even though I made sure the turkey was dry and free of all ice, even though I lowered it slowly, a jet of hot oil still managed to shoot out of the pot once the turkey was fully in. In this particular shot, we see oil spattering out of the pot, some of it igniting down by the burner, and me running to the fire extinguisher while yelling to Vicky to get away.
The good news is that nothing bad happened and things quickly came under control, but this is a good example of how, even if you do everything right, deep-frying a turkey like this can still be risky.
Once the turkey is in, it'll fry pretty quickly. Most people say about three minutes per pound of bird, but I'd start checking it even sooner than that. My oil level started out above the turkey, but it slowly went down as the bird cooked, leaving part of it exposed toward the end. This didn't have any negative impact on the bird or its skin.
When you're ready to check the temperature, use the hook to fish the turkey out, and lift it very slowly, allowing oil to drain off as you raise it.
