Article content
Greg Jamison, who had a provisional deal in place to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes, has asked the City of Glendale for more time to complete the long-awaited transaction.
That's according to the Arizona Republic, which reported on Thursday that a lawyer representing Jamison contacted Glendale mayor Jerry Weiers late Wednesday to ask for an extension.
Weiers told the paper that when questioned, he refused to extend the deadline further, adding Jamison has not spoken to him about the situation. In addition, Weiers revealed two unnamed groups also contacted him about purchasing the Coyotes if Jamison was unable to.
In late November. the City of Glendale gave Jamison the green light to take over the beleaguered franchise -- as long as the transaction was complete by 11:59 p.m. Arizona time on Jan. 31 -- after its city council approved a new $320 million arena management deal by a 4-2 vote.
The former chief executive officer of the San Jose Sharks, Jamison has pursued ownership of the troubled club for more than a year. He and the league reached a tentative deal to purchase the former Winnipeg Jets back in early May.
The NHL has retained control of the franchise since November of 2009, purchasing it from Jerry Moyes and rescuing the team from bankruptcy.

When Alberta artist Patrick LaMontagne painted a portrait of Martin Sheen and shared it on his social media account, he did not expect his work to find its way to Sheen himself.
But when Sheen's son Emilio Estevez, who was tagged in LaMontagne's mention on Twitter, saw the painting of his father's character from the movie 'The Way' he reached out to LaMontagne immediately.
Estevez asked LaMontagne for a print of the painting, one he could give his dad for Christmas, the Canmore painter recalled.
"The image is gorgeous and you've captured my father in a way that few have," said Estevez in his initial e-mail to LaMontagne.
The digital painter said he was skeptical as first. "I was wondering which one of my friends was playing a joke on me," he says.
He said he decided to have faith in the words he read and wrote back.
Being too close to Christmas and wanting to perfect the portrait before sending a print to Estevez, LaMontagne said he finally sent the portrait to the actor in January.
The actors received the painting on Friday. Sheen was thrilled and delighted, Estevez told LaMontagne.
"Mission accomplished," he said.
Story continues after slideshow
Inspired by the movie 'The Way,' LaMontagne said he painted a portrait of Sheen's character to take a break from commercial work.
LaMontagne said he was inspired by the closed off character portrayed by Sheen in the film, a character who grows, throughout the movie, and gradually opens up to realize he is part of a larger community.
The artist did not take payment for the portrait, saying it would have tainted the whole experience.
"My gut instinct said 'if you sell it you ruin what you got back,'" which was enjoying painting again.
LaMontagne said he won't try to duplicate the experience but will continue to paint characters who inspire him.
Estevez also took to Twitter to thank LaMontagne, saying "Thank you Patrick. Wonderful painting. Wonderful story. Martin was thrilled."

Latest transaction involves Australia Paxus unit
Computer Sciences Corp. will sell its Australian information technology staffing unit, Paxus, to Adcorp, South Africa's largest employment services company as CSC continues to act on its turnaround strategy.
Paxus is expected to sell for $73.5 million in cash.The transaction is expected to close by the end of January 2013.
This is CSC's third sale in seven weeks, all of which advance the company's transformation strategy to rebalance its portfolio of services. The company most recently sold its credit services unit to Equifax for $1 billion.
"This portfolio-shaping transaction is the latest step in CSC's transformation. We are aligning the company's resources with our strategy of leading the next generation of solutions and services," said CSC president and CEO, Mike Lawrie.
"We do not anticipate any impact on CSC's core services and clients in Australia, and we expect to use after-tax proceeds for general corporate purposes," he added.
According to the company, Paxus' revenue in fiscal 2012 was $340 million with low single-digit operating margins. Its results will be recast as discontinued operations in future periods, the company said.
The company acquired Paxus in 1996, through its acquisition of Continuum, of which Paxus was a Melbourne-based business unit.

i have run this question else where and thought i would ask here as well. there is just so much crap to learn that i think i am loosing my mind.
so most gas op 9mm/x25 ak builds require lightening the carrier. from what i have seen, the carrier looks like swiss cheese. my feeble brain says to do something completely different. my thought was to emulate the sks. an sks has a separate piston and bolt, with the piston floating in the tube. the bolt gets kicked by the piston as the gas acts on it. i'm thinking, the ak carrier gets cut somewhere forward of the bolt (makes it lighter). the bolt gets its push from an sks type gas piston. the carrier itself can ride rearward on its rails and a spring/guide rod similar to an rpk. am i nuts or is this plausible

This 2-part study will examine how much exercise people usually do in the course of their daily lives and how two different types of exercise-stretching and walking-affect the amount of fat in the body and certain hormones in the blood. It will also examine whether exercise can be increased by physician counseling with and without the use of a pedometer, and if exercising changes levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Breast cancer survivors and women at high risk for breast cancer who are between 18 and 75 years of age and who exercise less than 3 times per week may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history and physical examination, and their endurance and flexibility are tested by stretching exercises and by a 6-minute walk or run.
All participants complete study Part 1. Those who are eligible may also participate in Part 2.
- Part 1: Subjects wear a pedometer (a small device that measures the number of steps taken) on their waistband during all waking hours for 1 week without changing their usual level of activity. Depending on their level of activity, subjects may be invited to participate in Part 2 of the study.
- Part 2: Subjects are placed in either a walking group or a stretching group for 12 weeks. At the end of the 12-week period, those in the walking group are offered participation in the stretching group, and those in the stretching group are offered participation in the walking group.
Walking group participants wear a pedometer every day for 12 weeks. They are asked to gradually increase the number of steps they take each day, to keep a record of their daily step count, and to report periodically to the study staff on their progress. For 1 week during the study, participants also wear a device called an accelerometer that is used to verify the accuracy of the pedometer step counts.
Stretching group participants follow a program of stretching exercises for 12 weeks, with their progress monitored periodically by staff. During week 12, participants wear a pedometer and accelerometer.
All Part 2 participants also have the following tests and procedures:
- Blood draw: collected at the beginning and end of the study to test for certain hormones and HDL cholesterol levels.
- Questionnaires: about stress, anxiety, and depression levels; these are completed at the beginning and end of the study, and a detailed questionnaire about diet is completed at home or during a clinic visit.
- Body composition measurement: A "bioelectrical impedance" test, which measures body fat, is done at the beginning and end of the study. For this test, the subject lies on an examining table and a small electrical current is passed through electrodes placed on one hand and one foot. Although a small electrical current is used, this test is not painful.
- Endurance and flexibility testing: At the end of the study, participants repeat the 6-minute walk or run endurance test and the stretching flexibility test performed at screening.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
This study will enroll 40 breast cancer survivors and 40 women at high risk for breast cancer. All participants must fulfill the following criteria:
Age 18 to 75.
Sedentary at baseline, as defined by a weekly leisure-time activity score of 15 or less on the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire. This cutoff is equivalent to engaging in moderate activity less than 3 times a week.
Ability to complete all study questionnaires, or a willing friend or family member who will assist in questionnaire completion.
ECOG performance status 0-1.
Ability to successfully perform the level of physical activity prescribed by the protocol, as assessed by the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q).
Any participant who answers yes to any of the questions in this screening tool will undergo medical evaluation at the Clinical Center, as appropriate, prior to enrolling on the study.
Cardiac risk will be assessed after a complete history and physical exam, and will be determined by the examining physician. Only patients who are felt to be increased cardiac risk will have an EKG performed. This will include patients who answer yes to any of the questions on the PAR-Q that assess cardiac risk (#1,2,3,4,6). Patients with worrisome EKG findings or findings in the history or physical exam that warrant further work-up in the opinion of the health care provider will be referred to the cardiology consult service, or if non-urgent, will be referred back to their source of regular medical care for clearance prior to enrolling on the study.
If history of cancer (other than invasive breast cancer, squamous or basal cell skin cancers), subject must have no evidence of disease at time of enrollment AND no history of cancer directed treatment in the 2 years preceding enrollment.
Breast cancer survivors:
Eligible breast cancer survivors will be women with a documented history of Stage I, II or III invasive breast cancer who are at least two months from the completion of their primary therapy, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Current use of hormonal therapy such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors, will be permitted, however subjects must have completed 2 months of hormonal therapy prior to beginning the study in order to achieve steady state.
Women at high risk for breast cancer:
Women will be considered at high risk for developing breast cancer if they fulfill one of the following criteria:
A Gail model risk of greater than or equal to1.7 percent over 5 years from study entry or a Claus model lifetime risk of greater than 20 percent.
Lobular neoplasia.
Atypical ductal hyperplasia.
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) that has been previously treated. Patients must be at least 2 months from completion of primary therapy, and if treated with hormonal therapy, they must have completed at least two months of hormonal therapy.
Deleterious mutations in BRCA-1 or 2 OR A priori risk assessment of 20 percent chance or greater of carrying a BRCA1/2 gene mutation. The BRCAPRO model (109) will be used to assess this risk.
Currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study period. Pregnancy will be assessed in women of childbearing potential prior to enrolling in stage II of the study. Postmenopausal women and women who have had a previous hysterectomy, oophorectomy or tubal ligation will not be required to undergo a pregnancy test.
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including, but not limited to: ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, recent myocardial infarction or stroke, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Physical conditions that preclude the amount of daily walking prescribed by the protocol (e.g., severe arthritis, use of a walker or cane, wheelchair-bound, etc.).
Medical or psychiatric disorder which would, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, render the subject unable to provide informed consent.
Patients with metastatic or recurrent disease will be excluded because of difficulty interpreting results in the context of women with a disease burden and/or on chemotherapy.

California and San Francisco fire codes may require installation of a new fire hydrant or relocation of an existing fire hydrant based on the type and occupancy of the building, and its proximity to existing hydrants. During the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection (DBI) building process, the San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) reviews the location of existing and proposed fire hydrants. Once SFFD review is complete, their hydrant location and installation recommendation must also be approved by the SFPUC City Distribution Division.
Prior to hydrant installation, SFPUC may perform a hydraulic analysis of the water distribution system in the vicinity of the project. The hydraulic analysis determines whether the system has adequate capacity to support a new or relocated fire hydrant. If existing water distribution system pressures and flows are inadequate, the Project Sponsor will be responsible for any system improvements required to meet the proposed fire hydrant pressure and flow requirements.
New and Relocated Fire Hydrants At a Glance

What is the best way performance wise to do this? When I click a tile I want it to get the distance and if I am close enough I can interact with the tile. One way would be to find the tile by doing mouse / tile width when I click correct? But then how would I get that tiles position? I know how to find the distance I just don't know how to get a certain tiles position from the array when I click it
public void checkDistance(GameContainer gc) {
Input input = gc.getInput();
float mouseX = input.getMouseX();
float mouseY = input.getMouseY();
double mousetileX = Math.floor(mouseX/tiles.tileWidth);
double mousetileY = Math.floor(mouseY/tiles.tileHeight);
//Distance code
double lengthX = Math.abs(playerX - mousetileX);
double lengthY = Math.abs(playerY - mousetileY);
double distance = Math.sqrt((lengthX*lengthX)+(lengthY+lengthY));

Just a quick post today illustrating what I expect over the next 2 years, and the intermarket relationship between the currency markets, CRB and stocks.
Pay particular attention to the inverse relationship between the dollar index and the CRB. Notice how the CRB almost immediately began moving down into it's three year cycle low once the dollar formed it's three year cycle bottom in May 2011.
Stocks are driven by not only the dollar but to some extent by commodity prices. When commodities start to surge too high they act as a drag on the economy and consequently the stock market begins to stagnate. When commodities are falling, like they have been for the last year, it tends to act as a mild tailwind for the stock market, which explains why stocks have continued to rise for most of this year despite the dollar moving generally upwards since February.
I think I have mentioned before that virtually every recession since World War II has been preceded by a spike in oil prices of 80%-100% over a short period of time (usually a year or less).
The surge from $50 a barrel to $100 in 2007 was the straw that broke the camels back and tipped the economy over into recession, which began in November 07. A further spike to $147 a barrel the next summer guaranteed that the recession would be the worst since the Great Depression, especially considering that the real estate market and debt bubble was imploding at the same time.
Now that the CRB has formed its three year cycle low the dollar index should be at or pretty close to a final top, which should then be followed by a move down into its next three year cycle low sometime in 2014.
If the intermarket relationships continue to hold up, and I don't see why they wouldn't, then we should see commodity prices moving generally north for the next couple of years until the dollar forms its 3 year cycle low in mid-to-late 2014. At some point along the way rising commodity prices are going to begin pressuring the economy, just like they did in 2007 and 2008, and also in 2011 as the CRB surged up into its final three year cycle top.
My current guess is that we will see the stock market start to stagnate in 2013 forming a very extended rounded topping pattern. By late 2013 the stock market should be clearly in a new bear market that will begin to accelerate to the downside as commodities spike into their final top as the dollar bottoms in 2014.
At that point I expect to see a severe deflationary event as the stock market and commodities collapse, similar to what happened in the fall of 2008 and early 09. This collapse and deflationary event should be accompanied by the dollar rallying out of its next three year cycle low in 2014.
Most bear markets tend to last between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years so we can probably expect a final bottom in early to mid 2015.

Hey friends,
I'm packing up and moving out. Don't worry though, I won't be moving far. You can now find me at Brooklyn Farm Girl. I hope to see you and your garden there!
Hey friends,
I'm packing up and moving out. Don't worry though, I won't be moving far. You can now find me at Brooklyn Farm Girl. I hope to see you and your garden there!
Although some people cover their strawberries up in the winter, we don't. We don't feel like it affects the berries either way so we just let them be their natural selves and collect the snow on top of them.
Here's all the strawberry buckets now with their crisp leaves. Each bucket has 3-4 strawberry plants, aged from 1 year to 3 years. There's about 40 strawberry plants here total.
We started to see signs of green spring in the younger plants…
And then finally some green in the older plants this past week.
Hopefully I will have some plump berries in my hands in a few months. They truly are the sweetest strawberries I have tasted!
If are you thinking about growing strawberries, I would definitely recommend trying the bucket method. We've had great results. I talk more about growing strawberries in this video (starts around 0:35).
This morning we had a yummy Easter breakfast with our beloved Pink Bunny.
I made a egg sandwich for myself with some dried fruit – this is my everyday breakfast that I love dearly. For Matthew I had a eggs/hash brown recipe I've been wanting to try so I thought it would be a perfect time.
The recipe is simple. It's just potatoes, eggs and salt + pepper. The entire "nest" is made out of grated potatoes and then you put eggs on top.
Then we split some chocolate covered pretzels for breakfast "dessert". I only had one. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm lying.
Pink Bunny got this card for Matthew.
Pink Bunny made this card for me – which is now attached to the side of my monitor.
If you want to know more about the egg recipe – click behind the cut.
This post is going to be about carrots. Tomorrow is Easter which means 2 things: bunnies and the 3rd season of Game of Thrones premieres. So you get the bunny connection with carrots, but what about Game of Thrones? There is no connection, I'm just really excited and wanted to tell you.
First, let's talk about the old carrots. We planted some carrots right at the end of Fall seeing if we could get another batch of carrots before winter hit. We thought it was a failure, but look at what was under the soil.
Most were pretty scrawny, but we got some some big ones too. I am planning to use them in a stir fry soon.
Carrot seeds are tiny so we use pelleted seeds. This allows for more accurate sowing by hand.
As usual we are doing 3 rows of carrots this year. We love our carrots and they store so well.
Row by row we place the seeds…
Hey, you missed a spot. Just kidding.
Then we cover them back up with soil, give them a good pat and water them.
See you soon carrots!
Do you remember when I used to hate lettuce? Then do you remember last year where I started to eat lettuce by itself? I'm a silly girl, what can I say? So this year we will be growing lettuce again – both outside in the garden and inside in the window farm. I guess I can't get enough! My 8 year old self rolls her eyes at my kindness to lettuce.
We are planting 4-5 heads of lettuce in the garden this year. This is all Bibb lettuce. The seedlings looked like they were strong enough to be planted in the ground so they each get planted directly in their cups.
Then I give them all a good pat down and clean them off. They don't like looking dirty.
Grow strong little lettuce guys.
Let the sun shine down on you!
Today we did alot of work in the garden which I will break up into separate posts. This one will be dedicated to the enemy I love, onions. What does this mean? I don't eat onions – I cry if they are in my food. I am that person who takes very long in line because I request everything be made without onions, and if they ignore my request, then I will send it back. I will pick the onions out of salsa even if it means it will take 20 minutes and everyone will be done eating already. I don't like the smell of onions, I pout and moan when I have to make something with onions for Matthew. But with that said, I am the garden mother of these onions so I cherish and worship them. No, I won't eat them, but I want them to grow big and strong. Even though it's the one thing in the garden that I will not eat, somehow I am always stuck sorting and planting them every year. Matthew calls me the "onion whisperer" because he says I am good at the meticulous job of picking all the onion seedlings apart. Man, I hate that job. It's the worst. And let me tell you something, even if they are onion babies right now, they smell of onions. I totally overreact too. I will sit on the ground with those onion seedlings, crying, pretending I can't breathe, holding my nose (which really makes it worse because I have onions on my fingers). It's tough work, but it's all for the love of one of my children, the onions.
First, let's look at the box where all the new onions will be planted in. These onions off to the left have been there for a few months over winter, and they look like they are bouncing back so we are going to leave them and see.
Speaking of onions that made it over winter – will you check out this box of onions that are looking amazing? Matthew had fears they wouldn't survive, but I told him to keep some hope in these onions, and look at them! Look at them!
No bulbs were spotted (yet) but they are looking strong. They're all about 1 foot high. When they get bulbs I am going to do the happy onion dance. They deserve it.
Back to the onions we planted today. Here are all our onion seedlings. Each little soil cup has a bunch of onion seedlings in it – anywhere from 5 to 8.
Then comes the fun (not fun at all) part of sorting these onion seedlings out, one at a time. While holding each one delicately you try to untangle all the roots.
This take some time, but I have worked out a system of shaking them so they come loose pretty quickly. Onion whisperer I am.
The seedlings already have pretty intense roots going on. Each seedling grew into a big onion last year and produced a bulb larger than a baseball. Matthew said they were delicious. We are hoping for similar results this year!
So now they're all planted. There's 38 onions here, not counting the ones in another box. We'll check back on them in a few months…
Preparations are beginning…
Tonight is the first night the broccoli/cauliflower/kale/onions/lettuce/spinach/cabbage/brussels sprouts seedlings are spending overnight outside by themselves. I tried to talk Matthew into giving them a blanket so they feel safe but he just frowned at me. Maybe I will take his blanket away tonight in bed and sneak it up to my baby seedlings.
We just planted them and already we're seeing the tomato and green pepper seedlings!
We wrapped the sugar snap peas up to add some humidity to hopefully have them pop out of the soil sooner. None have shown us their faces yet, but don't worry, I'm checking every single day.
We grew these onions last Fall and somehow they survived Winter, without being covered up. How did they survive? I like to think it's because I provided them so much love they made it through the cold. We thought they were goners when winter hit, but suddenly they're beautiful green and growing strong. Go onions, grow. I won't eat you but I will still cheer you on.
I bought all the Perlite Home Depot sold. Perlite is light and easy to carry as it's not soil like most people walking through Home Depot thought I was carrying. People thought I was so strong I was just carrying 6 bags of this in one hand. I felt like a warrior.
Home Depot is also selling these garden containers. So cute. I tried to talk Matthew into planting all of our vegetables in ceramic frogs this year instead of wood boxes and plastic containers. Again, he frowned.
This means gardening season is very close when I see flowers in the store…
I used my last bag of frozen whole roma tomatoes a few days ago to make diced tomatoes.
This summer when it's raining tomatoes I will be sure to stock up on frozen diced and stewed tomatoes. Freezing whole tomatoes is a great idea too.
Are you preparing anything for the Spring garden season?
The sugar snap peas are this years first plants to be covered up by soil in the garden. Yesterday, while shivering in the cold sunlight, we took our pre-sprouted peas and planted them. It is still cold out, so even though growth might be slow in the beginning for them to emerge, hopefully we will see them big and strong soon.
This year we are changing things up and are growing them not up the fence, but instead around our gazebo like trellis.
Here are the peas that we pre-sprouted.
Nature, isn't it amazing? If you haven't tried presprouting, give it a shot.
Holes are made with our fingers, then peas are inserted in.
This year we are trying this pea booster – hopefully it works well.
So that gets sprinkled in each hole…
Then we do a little song and dance involving lots of cheering and the words "love" and "grow big" before covering them up with soil.
Then we get some water that was collected from the rain.. Can I tell you how freezing I am in this picture? My hands felt as red as the water container.
Then each pea spot gets watered.
Now we wait… hope to see you soon sugar snap peas!
I'm still wearing my winter coat, the heater is still on, and cats have cold toes (I can feel them when they jump on me!). Does it feel like Spring where you are? Not much here, but hopefully soon!
We made this new film for V Magazine, hopefully we will seeing this soon in real life…….
I wasn't going to post this recipe but then after dinner Matthew proclaimed it was one of the best meals I ever made, so I feel obligated to share it. This took use of 4 bags of edamame I had frozen…
I have been popping soy beans out of their pods like a crazy woman. Nice to see it being used in this delicious dish!
Beautiful colors… Feel free to add additional vegetables if you'd like. Carrots would be good!
You can serve this over rice which would complete the meal…
Or pick the pork out and just load up on the soy beans for a meatless option.
1/2 pound pork loin cutlets– cut into 1 inch strips
16 ounces soybeans
1 can bean sprouts
3 cloves garlic – cut up
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups cooked rice
Mix pork, cornstarch, soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl.
Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat in a large pan.
Add garlic, sauté until it's slightly brown.
Add pork to pan, fry until it's fully cooked.
Add soybeans and bean sprouts and sauté for 3 minutes.
Serve over rice.
If you remember we got a whole lot of edamame this past summer. Thankfully it freezes great so I have been able to snack on it throughout the winter. Today though I wanted just the soy bean itself to put in a pasta dish I'm going to make, which meant I was going to have to roll up my red fleece cardigan sleeves and pop those beans out – one at a time. This is a really great reason why a little kid would come in handy. I would teach that child to be a bean deshelling master, then I would tell them mama needs to work on something and put them to work to deshell all these beans. I would then go into a room, lock the door and take a nap. But there is no child, so I had to do it..
This is 16 oz of frozen edamame.
I boil it for 5 minutes, then run cold water so I can touch them.
Then I grab a seat because this is going to take a while….
One at a time, I push the beans out of the pod.
Eventually this would collect almost 1 cup of soy beans.
And lots of pods to compost!
Hard work, but worth it. Feel free to snack as you go along.
Last year we planted the tomatoes and green peppers seeds on March 1. This year we planted them March 14 (yesterday). Time is running by quickly here at the moment, and thankfully we realized this 2 weeks late and not 1 month, 2 weeks late. So yesterday we got out the supplies and planted our tomatoes for the year. You know the usual characters:
There's the roma, sweet aroma, beef, cherry tomatoes. Then there's the green bell peppers.
See the container to the left? ?That's Burpee's eco friendly self watering cell seed starting system. It's magical. We thought it might have been a gimmick when we bought the bigger cell version for our other seedlings, but those seedlings in it have grown so much bigger than the other seeds not in a self watering system. If you can find this, get it. It's great.
Beautiful soil, get your hands dirty. I love the feeling.
I know I say it ALL the time, but these 2 little sees will turn into full blown tomato plants. It amazes me every single time.
We also are getting the sugar snap peas ready by presprouting them inside. This always works better for us than planting them directly in the soil as we are never quite sure if they all are growing to sprout or not, and if they don't you are left with a few that need to be replanted. With presprouting, you are guaranteed to know they all will grow into plants. I did a post on presprouting sugar snap peas last year if you want to read it.
I would like to give a shot out to my gardening helper, Xanadu Pluto, who climbed into the seed starter box…
But realized she couldn't fit all the way and just stayed like this. No shame. <3
I was not a sweet potato fan prior to this. I don't think I ever bought a sweet potato. I was so confused in the potato section that I googled "difference between a sweet potato and yam". Google tells me it's very different. The supermarket employee told me there was hardly any difference. So much confusion.
Anyways – I am now a fan. I enjoy you sweet potatoes. I enjoy you very much.
Last night I wanted to make a meatless chili, so I used this recipe that had sweet potatoes tossed in. If you want you can use a ground meat (beef? turkey? chicken?) but it's good without it too. I was able to use up my last bag of whole tomatoes frozen from garden season for our crushed tomatoes – man I love those tomatoes. Serve with some buttered bread or cornbread.
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
14 ounces diced tomatoes
2 large sweet potatoes – peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces
15 ounces kidney beans
15 ounces navy beans
1 green pepper – chopped up
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic – minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (or a actual onion if you want)
Put your slow cooker on low.
Combine all your ingredients, mix it all together.
Cook on low for 10 hours.
Enjoy the smells!

Multitasking. It's something you need to make friends with as the holidays approach and the invitations and social events creep up on you. It's even more handy when you have a holiday meal to cook and only one small oven. Being the great fan of multitasking that I am, I am pleased to combine the second instalment of my Canadian Tire Kitchen Crew Mission 2 with this month's International Incident Party with a theme of Cobbler.
My Mission was the following:
Thanksgiving. For some, just hearing the word makes them shudder, especially thinking about all the work creating a Thanksgiving feast for your family entails. Your mission this week is to get inspired and take a new view on old Thanksgiving classics. From side dishes to the main event – anything goes!
Now, even though I am rarely cooking for a huge crowd on Canadian Thanksgiving (The first weekend in October), I do get frustrated when we are cooking a turkey and there's no room in the oven for dessert. Last year, I made Marie-Hélène's apple cake in our next door neighbour's oven (since they were coming over for lunch they didn't mind!) because I had no room in ours. I like something light and fruity for dessert rather than the traditional pumpkin pie (didn't grow up eating that, still don't really "get it" so that apple cake was perfect.
This year, for my Canadian Tire Mission, I decided to go the dessert route and see if I could successfully make a dessert in the Black and Decker Convection Rotisserie Toaster Oven. And what better than a Cobbler that I could also bring to the International Incident party? Multitasking and a dessert – it doesn't get much better than that! Well actually it does because I made an apple-cranberry crumble with lemon custard as well!
For my crumble, I adapted a recipe that I tore out of a Got Milk calendar years and years ago. It's been my "go-to" recipe for crumble ever since and I changed it up a little, adding cranberries to the apples for a seasonal touch, made a thicker, more lemony custard and added flax meal to the crumble for some extra goodness.
Apple-cranberry crumble with lemon custard
Apple-cranberry crumble with a luscious lemon custard.
- 8 cups sliced, peeled apples
- 8 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablesooons custard powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- zest of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 4 tablespoons flax meal (ground flax seeds)
- 3 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
- Preheat oven to 350˚F
- Lightly grease 8 small ramekins.
- Layer apples and cranberries in the ramekins.
- Whisk together sugar and custard powder.
- Whisk in eggs, milk, lemon zest and lemon extract until frothy, pour over the apples.
- In a bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour and flax meal.
- Add the butter cubes and, with your fingers mix well until the butter is pea-sized and well combined.
- Sprinkle crumble over apples and custard.
- bake until the apples are tender, the custard is bubbling and the crumble cripsy - about 35 minutes.
- Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or ice-cream
I really enjoyed this. The tart cranberry and lemon flavours work well with the creamy sweetness of the custard and the crunchy sweet crumble.The oven did well, cooking this, though I could only fit 6 ramekins in if I tried (I only made 4 actually) so not sure it's the thing for a larger gathering. Even if you used one larger baking dish, you could probably only make a dish large enough to serve 6.
Now let's look at the cobbler. Until I moved to Canada, I confess to never really having known what a cobbler was. And until last weekend, I had not made one. I actually thought they were one and the same as crisp and crumble. In fact, no, it's a completely different entity. Epicurious describes a Cobbler as "a baked, deep-dish fruit dessert topped with a thick biscuit crust sprinkled with sugar."
For the Party, I decided to go traditional and follow The Kitchn's Foolproof Cobbler (recipe here). It was so easy, the pastry came together in minutes and was crunchy and biscuity and the blueberries and raspberries were jammy and rich. It was perfect served with some vanilla bean ice-cream. I'll be making this again – love its versatility!
Disclaimer: I was provided with compensation as well as a Black and Decker Convection Rotisserie Toaster Oven in exchange for writing two posts about the product. All opinions are 100% my own.

Travel: Trip to Bangkok, 21-24 Oct 2015 (Day 1)
>> Thursday, November 5, 2015
I haven't had time to share with my readers all my travel trips! I'm quite determined to start doing so & am hoping to share certain experiences that I've been through as well.
Late last month, I was in Bangkok with 2 friends + my fiance for a 4 days 3 nights vacation. It's our 1st time to Bangkok (apart from James), so we were quite excited for the short getaway. We had an initial plan to check out certain places of attractions, eat certain food & buy some clothings as well, but upon arrival at Bangkok itself, we changed quite a bit of our plan.
Basically, throughout our entire trip, we were focused around Pratunam area; it was more than enough to satisfy most of our needs :)
Initial plan for Day 1
Pratunam area
Wat Arun
Pak Klong Talat Flower Market
Summary for Actual Day 1
Pratunam market
Foot massage at Number One Massage Centre
Bangkok is apparently well-known for it's traffic congestion. The city actually reminded me of Kuala Lumpur + Jakarta, where cars are everywhere, traffic is congested, flyovers are right in the middle of the highway & surrounding the highway are tonnes of buildings.
We were so near yet so far as the place that we booked through Agoda.com, KC Place, was just behind the Baiyoke, the tallest building you'll find.
After walking around for quite a bit at the Pratunam market, we headed off to get our 1st Thai massage at Number One Massage Center. It was off-peak hours & almost all massage centers have their happy hour promotion from 1-5p.m. every weekday (I think only weekdays). We just popped by the one that we read decent reviews.
Address: 3, Soi Phetchaburi 15
Happy hour prices: 1 hour foot massage or 1 hour Thai full body massage = THB200
Usual prices: THB250 onwards
The verdict: Not too bad. Service was good, foot massage was relaxing & the place was clean. Not to mention, this row of shops was easily located as well. Oh, remember to tip your masseuse at least THB50 per session.
We spent the rest of the evening exploring the surrounding areas of Pratunam from where we stayed to the area of Platinum Mall before deciding to cover Asiatique on Day 1 instead of Day 2 as per our initial plan.
To get to Asiatique from where we were walking around, we took the BTS to Saphan Taksin station before getting on Asiatique's free shuttle boat at the Chao Phraya river. The return journey all the way back to our hotel Ratchaprarop Station (Airport Link City Line) cost THB74.
Frankly speaking, Asiatique is just an up-market shopping area with up-market bars & restaurants. As it was a rather hot day & we arrived there around 5:45p.m. local time, the whole place was still quite still & 'sleepy'.
Everything else in Asiatique is quite expensive. In terms of variety, I think the local markets would have equally wide variety, if not more. We found some stalls in the middle of Asiatique selling food around THB60/serving, which was the most affordable, but it's all vegetarian/meatless :( We ordered some food for the 4 of us to share & ended up paying THB170/person for this unsatisfying meal. We just had to comfort ourselves with the food back at Pratunam!
Upon sunset, you'll see more stalls opened at Asiatique.
You'll also find more people arriving at this happening place. We were glad to be getting out of the area & not join the throngs of people who have arrived. Being such a hot day, it can be quite uneasy to be jostling with others just to check out the place & the items sold at Asiatique.
As avid foodies, we ended up heading back to our hotel area, where we bought most of our supper at the Pratunam night market (right in front of Baiyoke, behind our hotel).

My name is Peter McKeague and I work in the Data and Recording team in the Survey and Recording group at RCAHMS. As Data and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) project manager, I am involved in a wide range of projects documenting Scotland's rich heritage and presenting it online through Canmore. I am interested in how developments in information technology help our public and professional users discover more about the historic environment around them.
In 2008 I was involved in helping colleagues research and prepare maps supporting the successful nomination of the Antonine Wall as part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site.
To the NE of Glasgow, the Antonine Wall snakes through the modern landscape of Bearsden. Two short stretches of the wall are visible at New Kilpatrick cemetery and visitors may also explore the remains of the Roman Bath House at Bearsden, part of the Roman fort now buried under houses
Built under the orders of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius in AD 140s, the Antonine Wall formed the north-western frontier of the Roman Empire for a generation. Cutting across Scotland, between the Firth of Forth at Bo'ness and the Clyde at Bowling, the frontier is 37 miles long. The Antonine Wall has a turf-built rampart, in front of which is a flat area, or berm, separating the rampart from a deep ditch with a further mound beyond. A series of forts occur at intervals along the Wall and those at Rough Castle, Bar Hill and Castle Cary may be visited. The outline of a fortlet is set out to the west of Kinneil House. Bath houses may be seen at Bar Hill and at Bearsden. About a third of the Antonine Wall is still visible with stretches at Callendar House, Seabegs Wood and Watling Lodge and by Rough Castle and Castle Cary Roman Forts.
However, I have chosen the two short sections of wall footing on display at New Kilpatrick Cemetery, Bearsden to illustrate the frontier. Although closely spaced, the two sections mark a change in direction of the wall as it skirts round the contours of the hillside. The exposed sections show the stone base, on which the rampart was built providing a rare insight into the construction of the rampart. The rampart base consists of carefully dressed kerbstones with rough boulder infill punctuated by stone-lined drainage culverts. These two short sections present a very different view from the upstanding earthworks surviving elsewhere along the wall.
Beyond the cemetery wall, the frontier survives as a very slight earthwork and infilled ditch.
This is what I've chosen for Day of Archaeology, but why not tell us your favourite archaeological sites in Scotland on Twitter using #MyArchaeology.

Consider snowmobiling this weekend
Companies offer rentals, guided tours
This weekend may be a good time to rent a snowmobile and take a guided tour through the Mount Washington Valley.
With more than 600 miles of trails to explore, many with gorgeous mountain views, the region has several companies that provide guided tours and hourly or daily rentals with a bit of instruction. All you need is a driver's license.
Northern Extremes Snowmobiles in Bartlett is among the companies that take reservations for rentals and tours. You can call 603-374-0934 to ask about lodging packages.
Owner Peter Gagne said this winter's snow gave him his busiest week ever during Christmas vacation.
Warmer weather wasn't welcomed, particularly for the trails in Bretton Woods, which were damaged. But the Bartlett area, protected by Bear Notch, fared better.
Conditions have been good since the middle of January, and in Bartlett, trails may stay open through mid-April. Gagne said Saturday is sold out, but there are some reservations left for Sunday in Bartlett and at the company's Bretton Woods site next to Fabayan's Station.
Snow on the Bretton Woods trail system is a bit thinner and might only make it through March, said Tina Sweet, also of Northern Extreme Snowmobile Rentals.
In Bartlett, there was about three feet of snow in town, while Bretton Woods had about six inches to a foot and a half, Sweet said.
White Mountain Trail Club in Glen has been grooming and still has 100 percent of its trails open. The club has a range of sled sizes, including the Ski-Doo 500cc and the 600 four-stroke, which gets 28 mpg. There are single-, double- and triple-seat snowmobiles available.
The club offers general instructions, and you have to have a valid driver's license and be 21 or have your parents with you.

Weekend Cook and Tell: 'Tis the Season for Soup
Welcome to our Weekend Cook and Tell where each Wednesday we turn the pages of the food sections of various national newspapers in search of inspiration for a weekend cooking project. We hope you'll cook along with us and share your experiences, recipes, and photos here.
One of the best things about winter is the change in cuisine and the emphasis on foods that will warm your belly on a cold, blustery day. Be it the beginning of using your turkey stock from Thanksgiving, tomato soup, or bean soups, there seem to be no end to taking our meals (happily) in liquid form.
David Tanis, of The New York Times, found an alternative when the onset of cold-weather had him considering a trip to Southeast Asia: a Vietnamese-inspired soup. He considered this a method to both turn the temperature and heat up in one bite. Strapped for time, a bright fish soup with lemongrass and chile, allowed him to thaw visiting guests in no time at all. When the chill of the changing season hits you, what soups do you make to warm your belly?
Share your favorite soups on Photograzing (make sure to include "Weekend Cook and Tell" in your submission title) and tell us about your recipes here! If you'd like to blog the experience, please leave a link in the comments below. You can now also pin your creation on your Pinterest board as well. Please use the hashtag, #cookandtell, and tag us, @Serious Eats in your pin's text.
We'll post a round-up of your ideas, recipes, and experiences the following Wednesday, December 5th.

As we all know, Craigslist can be a source of classic cars, parts and memorabilia. Completely unbeknownst to anyone at Jalopnik, it can also be used to solicit sex. A 23-year-old Brentwood man responded to an ad offering sex at what we assume was an attractive rate. But instead of "hittin that," a pair of men hit him in the head with a shotgun they were carrying. The man escaped with his life, but the criminals escaped with his money and GMC Sierra truck.
Let this be a lesson to those among you in the midst of a dry spell: a sporting woman is fun for a moment, but with the inherent risks wouldn't you be better off with the less temporal satisfaction that comes from a vegetable oil-powered Ford Econoline van? [San Jose Mercury News via News.com]

Catch up on reader recipes with fish favorites, beets and more
Thanks to aquaculture, tilapia is readily available and relatively inexpensive. Readers share their favorite ways to serve it.
From Bill McNamara of Danbury, this week's cookbook winner:
Cheesey Tilapia Dish
Serves 6
2 pounds tilapia fillets
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 teaspoon dill
Dash lemon pepper
1/4 cup white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
4 ounces grated mild or sharp cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9- by 9-inch pan. Place fillets in a single layer in dish and spread with a thin layer of mayonnaise, then spread on a thin layer of the soup. Sprinkle with dill, lemon pepper, lemon juice and wine. Cover with the grated cheese. Bake uncovered for about 20 to 25 minutes or until fish is flaky.
From Ellie Potter of Danbury:
Baked Tilapia
Serves 4
18 Ritz crackers
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
4 tilapia fillets (about 11/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
Lemon wedges
Tartar sauce
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Crush crackers in a plastic bag. Add cheese, oil, and basil. Shake to combine. Place tilapia on prepared baking sheet. Brush top side of each piece with about 1/2 tablespoon mustard and season with salt and pepper. Press the cracker mixture onto the mustard-coated side of the fillets. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, if desired.
From Mary Thomas of Newtown:
Tilapia with Grape Chutney
Makes 4 servings
4 (4-ounces) fresh or frozen skinless tilapia or sole fillets
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup seedless green grapes
1/2 cup tropical blend mixed dried fruit bits
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1/3 cup apricot spreadable fruit
Cooked brown rice (optional)
Thaw fish if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch skillet heat oil over medium-high heat; add fish. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily, turning once. Meanwhile, halve grapes.
Transfer fish to platter; keep warm. Add grapes, fruit bits, onions and spreadable fruit to skillet; cook and stir 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sauce over fish.
Rose Sagliano of Bridgeport sent in this recipe from Food Network chef Giada De Laurentiis:
Roasted Beet and Arugula Salad
Makes 4 servings
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 medium beets, peeled, each cut into 6 wedges
6 cups arugula, stems removed
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries
1/2 avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
3 ounces goat cheese, coarsely crumbled
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place a large piece of foil on a heavy baking sheet. In a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar, shallots and honey to blend. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season the vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss beets with enough dressing to coat. Place beet mixture in the center of the foil on the baking sheet. Top with another piece of foil and crimp edges to seal tightly. Roast beets until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Uncover beets and continue roasting until they are slightly caramelized, shaking the pan occasionally, about 25 minutes longer. Set aside to cool completely. In a large bowl, toss arugula, walnuts and cranberries with enough of the remaining vinaigrette to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Mound the salad on 4 plates, then arrange the beets around the salad. Sprinkle with the avocado and goat cheese and serve.
From Peter Ferko of Bridgeport
Tangy Pork Chops and Linguini
Serves 6
6 pork chops, cut about 3/4-inch thick
1 (16-ounce) package linguini
2 tablespoons salad oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup minced onion
1 small garlic clove
1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
About 1 hour before serving heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare linguini according to package directions, drain and place in a large roasting pan. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat in hot salad oil, brown pork chops well on both sides. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper and arrange on linguini. In the same skillet, cook onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and 1/3 cup water or favorite wine. Blend mixture and pour over pork chops and linguini. Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

As if replacing a two-year starter wasn't daunting enough of a task, the news that Alex Anzalone will miss the rest of spring practice due to injury puts even more pressure on new starting Mike linebacker, Antonio Morrison.
Morrison enrolled early in the spring of 2012 and instantly impressed the coaching staff with his physical play, speed and sound tackling ability. He saw early playing time a season ago as he filled in for Jelani Jenkins at Will linebacker.
While he played almost exclusively last season at Will LB, Morrison has been tapped as the guy to replace Jon Bostic in the middle. You can tell that Morrison is dedicated to the position swap as he has added considerable size to his frame and looks to be ready to make a home at his new position.
However, replacing Bostic goes much further than just producing on the field. Bostic saw action in 51 games, including 32 starts. He finished his career with 237 tackles, five interceptions, 19 tackles for a loss and 7.5 sacks. Those are already lofty numbers for Morrison to follow but the real loss is what Bostic meant to the defense as a leader.
For the past two seasons, Bostic was the guy who got the play call from the sideline, relayed it to his teammates and made sure everyone knew what was going on and where to be on the field.
In his press conference today, Will Muschamp acknowledged just that saying; "He [Morrison] continues to improve as a communicator within the front seven and that's going to be a key deal for him handling a lot of the directing traffic." Muschamp continued. "He had Jon [Bostic] and Jelani [Jenkins] helping him last year and now he's got to be that guy. We put a lot on our linebackers as far as communication is concerned. I'm very pleased."
While becoming the quarterback of the defense may take some getting used to, Morrison is already physically ready for the rigors of playing every down in the SEC. Morrison is listed at 229 pounds on the spring depth chart, up from last season, and looks like he has a frame that could support additional bulk. It wouldn't be surprising to see him eventually play around the 240-245 pound mark that Bostic was at last season.
Muschamp commented on Morrison's new size and strength today, saying; " He's much, much stronger than he was a year ago, obviously a guy that truly benefitted from being here midyear and took advantage of it."
While additional size and strength will help Morrison fill the gaps against the run and take on blockers, it's his instincts that set him apart from other players. Being able to read the offense and put yourself in position to make plays is a vital part of playing in the middle of the defense. "Antonio is a very passionate guy, plays the game hard and with great physicality." Muschamp continued. "[He's a] very instinctive, tough player. He certainly improved his short-area quickness."
Improving his short-area quickness will allow Morrison to avoid blockers and become the kind of force that Bostic was against the run.
What we saw from Morrison during the open spring workouts was improved coverage skills. Morrison struggled at times last season to pick up running backs out of the backfield and stay with tight ends throughout their routes. Morrison showed marked improvement in being able to flip his hips and run with Florida's backs and tight ends during 11-on-11 drill this past weekend. Becoming better in coverage will make Morrison a more complete linebacker and make Florida's defense even tougher to move the ball against.
Florida's recent lineage at linebacker (Channing Crowder, Brandon Siler, Brandon Spikes, Jon Bostic) is a tough act to follow but Morrison is headed on the right path to having his name sit right next to those great players in Florida's history books.
While this offseason was always going to be an important one for Morrison, the loss of Anzalone and lack of depth at the position means that Morrison needs to step up into a leadership role sooner rather than later. He has the physical tools and the instincts to be a great linebacker at Florida, but coach Muschamp and the Gators need him to become a leader and communicator on and off the field.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – A new set of concerns have emerged as more Utah teachers seek to arm themselves in the classroom.
The pushback comes as gun advocates urge teachers to pack guns against an intruder. Utah law allows teachers and anyone else licensed to carry concealed weapons to wear a gun in a public school. But some believe teachers should disclose to parents that they're packing, and that alarmed parents should be able to request a different classroom for their children.
To accomplish all of this, Rep. Carol Spackman Moss has drafted legislation for action by the Utah House.
"I see this not as a gun bill, but a parents' rights bill," said Moss, a Democrat from the upscale Salt Lake City suburb of Holladay. "The worst thing to have is a lot of teachers with guns. My constituents _ parents and teachers _ all say this is the wrong approach."
Gun lobbyists say the legislation runs counter to common sense because privacy is a cornerstone of having a permit to wear a concealed weapon. Unlike many other states, Utah doesn't draw a line on concealed weapons at public schools, and instructors say more teachers are applying for the permit. Educators say they have no way of knowing how many teachers are arming themselves because they don't have to disclose it.
The efforts to arm or train Utah teachers to confront assailants came only weeks after a gunman killed his mother and then went on a rampage through Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., killing 20 children and six adults before killing himself.
Nearly 200 Utah teachers showed up Dec. 27 for the first firearms instruction course offered by Utah's leading gun lobby, which waived a $50 fee for the training.
"I thought it was an over-reaction and a poor way to ensure school safety," said Moss, a retired English teacher. "The best thing schools can do for safety is to make sure teachers can lock the doors of their classrooms. There are a lot of situations teachers can control without guns."
Moss acknowledged that teachers were of two minds on gun safety. Some see no problem packing guns in classrooms. Others are horrified by the presence of weapons. Many administrators say guns are fraught with danger. Among the potential dangers they point to are teachers being overpowered for their weapons or misfiring in a panic and hitting innocent bystanders.
But school administrators and state education officials almost universally argue that arming teachers is unwise.
"The more guns you have in the school, the more dangerous it is," Leslie Keisel, superintendent of the North Sanpete School District, has told The Associated Press.
Yet teachers are among the most responsible gun owners and forcing them to disclose when they bring guns to schools would only demonize them, argues Clark Aposhian, chairman of the Utah Shooting Sports Council, the state's biggest gun lobby.
"It's a terrible idea," said Aposhian, a tactical firearms instructor. "It targets teachers who are feeling vulnerable and choose this method of self-defense rather than protect students by jumping in front of bullets."
Utah is among a few states that let people carry licensed concealed weapons into public schools without exception, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Anyone can pack a legally concealed weapon at schools in Utah, although it took a law enacted a dozen years ago to expressly allow it. Legislators took action to overrule some school districts that were trying to enforce their own gun rules.
"We've had 12 years of no problems, let alone a pattern of problems," Aposhian said. "We trust our kids with teachers every day. Why do we think they'll be any danger?"
Aposhian said Moss' bill has virtually no chance of passage in a state that celebrates gun ownership. Legislators are moving in the opposite direction, advancing a proposal to do away with the requirement of a permit for a concealed weapon.
Aposhian's defense of armed teachers got no argument from any of the teachers who showed up for his gun instruction for six hours in late December.
"I never felt threatened in 14 years of teaching, but I don't think you can be too prepared," said Tiffany Parry, a dance teacher in the Salt Lake City suburb of Sandy who applied for a license to carry a concealed gun. "I think it could come in handy."

--San Francisco Chronicle
"Bram Stoker meets Stephen King meets Michael Crichton. It just doesn't get much better than this."
--Nelson DeMille
The stunning New York Times bestselling vampire saga that author Dan Simmons (Drood, The Terror) calls, "an unholy spawn of I Am Legend out of 'Salem's Lot," concludes with The Night Eternal. The magnificent, if monstrously warped brainchild of cinematic horror master Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) and Chuck Hogan--whose novel Prince of Thieves, was praised as, "one of the 10 best books of the year" by Stephen King--The Night Eternal begins where The Strain and The Fall left off: with the last remnants of humankind enslaved by the vampire masters in a world forever shrouded by nuclear winter. Still, a small band of the living fights on in the shadows, in the final book of the ingenious dark fantasy trilogy that Newsweek says is, "good enough to make us break that vow to swear off vampire stories."
