BIRDLAND — Former Buffalo Bills running back Thurman Thomas was in town last week at the Gridiron Greats football camp at the University of West Georgia and shared his thoughts on the Falcons.
Thomas helped the Bills four consecutive AFC championships and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.
While the Falcons went 13-3 last season and held the No. 1 seed in the NFC entering the playoffs, Thomas was not too impressed. Also, he had a few tips for how to use Falcons running back Michael Turner.
"Honestly, I think the Falcons are still a long ways away," Thomas said. "Personally, I think they gave up too much for Julio Jones. They needed to tighten up their defense. That's what hurt them more than anything. Their defense let them down against Green Bay."
He made it clear that he likes Jones.
"Julio can turn out to be a awesome and great player," Thomas said. "But I just think they gave up too much for him. They are on the rise. They have a great young quarterback in Matt Ryan."
He believes the Falcons are riding Turner too hard.
"They need to start looking for another running back," Thomas said. "Michael Turner, when you carry that ball 300 times a year for a few years, it puts some wear and tear on your body. I think they need another running back to give him a break every now and again."
In his first four seasons in the league as LaDainian Tomlinson's backup in San Diego, Turner never had more than 80 carries in a season.
After signing with the Falcons in 2008, he had 376 carries. He suffered a severe high ankle sprain in 2009 and finished with 178 carries. Last season, he had 334 carries. He went to the Pro Bowl after each of his 300-plus carry seasons.
Thomas played for 13 seasons and had more than 300 carries just twice. He had an impressive string of eight straight 1,000-yard seasons from 1989 to 1996.
"They are definitely an up-and-coming team," Thomas said. "They are one of those teams that needs to learn how to win on the road. It's always good to play at home, but you have to learn how to win that key one on the road. They had a great season at home. But I think at the end of the day, their defense kind of let them down. I was surprise that they didn't help the defense more in the draft."
The Falcons did draft running back Jacquizz Rodgers in the fifth round of the draft. Jason Snelling, Turner's main backup last season, could end up as a free agent. Also, Jerious Norwood is trying to battle back from knee surgery. The Falcons also have Antone Smith and Gartrell Johnson on the roster.
Thomas rushed for 12,074 yards and is 14th on the all-time rushing list. Emmitt Smith is No. 1 with 18,355 yards.
"I talk to Emmitt and Barry Sanders a lot too," Thomas said. "I said you know what, you guys have about two or three thousand yards more than I do, but come December I was playing in ice. I was playing in snow. If I was playing in Dallas or inside like Barry I'd probably would have another 3,000 yards. I could have been the all-time leading rusher if I didn't play on ice, sleet and snow."

Thurman may have had only 300 plus carries twice in his career but he caught alot more passes than Turner ever will. It is all the same. I believe the Falcons will pass more this year if everyone stays healthy and they will address the defense if there is free agency. Also, the Falcons were 6-2 on the road. They had big road wins in New Orleans and Tampa and St. Louis and Seattle. My Dad always says opinions are like a$$ holes. Everybody has one. Thurman is clueless about most of what he said.

Thurman Thomas was one helluva player, but he may not be too smart. The Falcons were 13-3 and the top seed in the NFC, they can't be that far off. Green Bay was a good team that got hot at the right time.
And Thurman, if we are playing the "what if" game, had Sanders not retired in the middle of his career God only knows how many yards rushing he would have had. Sanders is still the best running back I have ever seen play.

What … no Roddy review?!?!?
back to topic … we need to keep Snelling, as the trend now is a 2-RB system. With a 3-headed monster of Snelling, Turner, and J. Rodgers, we need to find a niche for all of them to get quality touches that won't disrupt the offense.
I am scouring now looking at next years' draft, as I do think we will be in the market for a DE, OLB, and/or DB. Without that 1st round pick, the scouting dept. is going to earn its pay getting a bona fide 1st year contributor.

Thurman Thomas has an ego that is bigger than Buffalo itself. He is alos the all time leader and holds the record for most fumbles by a running back maybe he should have borowed some of Lester hayes stickem

All that from a guy who couldn't find his helmet during the Super Bowl!?!?!? I don't believe I'll pay much attention to Thurman Thomas' opinion.
June 20th, 2011
6:40 am
Mr. Thomas, Emmitt has over 6,000 yards more than you. Barry retired early and still still left you well behind. You were a great back, but you're not close to the talent level of those two.
June 20th, 2011
6:47 am
You just have to love it when a Hall of Famer feels he has to promote himself like that. Class players accept praise and don't seek it. He could have complimented Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith, but feels he has to promote himself. The interview was about Michael Turner and the Falcons, but he makes it about himself. When a self serving guy like this has an opinion, it is irrelevant. The world is full of self centered athletes who feel the need to continually tell you how good they were.

LOL….good grief. Some Falcon fans sure have poor self-esteem on behalf of their team. LOL

Thurman sounds a little bitter…..and more than a little jealous.
June 20th, 2011
7:07 am
Aint that the truth. Never EVER here Barry taking about what he could have done if he had Jim Kelly as a QB or Emmitts O-Line. Thurman I loved you as a kid. Now I have lost respect.

Who cares what this washed up has been thinks?
June 20th, 2011
7:49 am
The Falcons had every piece they needed to contend except another play-maker (mission accomplished) and a pass rusher (free agency here we come. All these people keep saying they gave up too much but they gave up draft picks. This team has made a ton of draft picks the past two years and there is no-one that they could have gotten that would have paid immediate dividends on defense. They could have gotten a DE or line-backer but those guys would likely not be starters and they would still have had to go out and get a pass rusher in free agency. These "experts" need to look at what the teams have done in the past and what they really need before they rush to criticize. Herm Edwards is the only one I've seen who has complimented the Falcons drafting of Julio because, unlike the others, he recognizes their pass rusher need will be best served via free agency.
June 20th, 2011
7:51 am
Oh, & guys, Thurman was an awesome player. Don't insult his career accomplishments because he isn't impressed with the Falcons. His opinions simply showed he didn't have an understanding of this team (like most of the other "experts" out there).
June 20th, 2011
7:53 am
Thurman can't think outside the box either as how improving the offense IMPROVES the defense and wears the other teams defense down. The Falcons defense will not have to be as good not because the scoring is going to go up BIG TIME and the OPPONENTS will NOT be on the FIELD nearly as MUCH as they have been the last few years. It's ALL good OK? Offense is now GB caliber and defensive help is coming from young guys who have been learning and growing but have not been ready and he obviously has forgotten that the Falcons can get a very good defensive free agent or 2! (if there is a season). Thurman will eat his words. One thing though, I do agree with him one one point, I was not that impressed with the Falcons 13-3 record. They got EXTREMELY lucky, HUGE breaks at pivotal times and some calls that they souldnt have gotten. They easily and justifiably could have lost at least 2 more games. The Ravens and Saints games come to mind off the top of my head…but they are a young team and it's nice to get the breaks sometimes. They definately are going to be a FORCE and capable of going to the Super Bowl MOST years as long as MR. Blank is the owner!

Like Bum Philippes said "First we knocked on the door"… the Bills knocked on the dooor 4 times and never got in…
June 20th, 2011
8:24 am
Here's the real point to make. Thurman Thomas says that we need to "ease" of of Michael Turner but then criticizes our 2011 draft. Does he not realize that the whole purpose of moving up to draft Julio was to shift our offensive philosophy to a more balanced attack from the run first and play behind the defense offense we played last year?
June 20th, 2011
8:50 am
Thomas – sounds like he ran out of "cheese or Wine as in whine" – his next statement will be "we had the right players and wrong coaches"
Emmet Smith i assure everyone had his fair share of nasty weather games! As for B. Sanders – if he had finished his career with injuries, "Wow who knows what his numbers would have been"
Please don't get wrong, T.Thomas was a very good versitlie RB, However Thomas was NOT the best by NO means!
Go Turner – Go Falcons
June 20th, 2011
8:50 am
I think Thurman is right about giving 33 too many carries. ONLY b/c we do need a more versatile change up back….(5th rd addressed that) Yes, he was right about the defense letting us down in the playoffs. NO, he was wrong about giving up too much for Jones. You dont get players like that every year PERIOD. They obviously think we have enough depth or will. All of this crying about the D and there still hasnt been any type of free agency yet.lol They will adress the D. Lastly, he was WRONG about last season's road record (though we can still tighten up on the road a bit against higher echelon teams). I loved Thurman Thomas growing up but to achieve a 13-3 record we couldnt have possibly have had a winning record only at home. My humble opinion.
June 20th, 2011
9:31 am
Some really good points have been made here. (From Marcus, Willie Coyote, Columbus and DC Dirty Bird) The more I look at the trade, the better I feel. We have depth if we keep all the good people we want to keep. We are in a place where we do not need alot. It would be nice to get a pass rusher in FA but if not, our young guys will have better experience. Adding Julio, (injured) H Douglas and K Meier will keep our defense off the field alot longer and will be fresher than last year.
As for Turner, we have to remember that his1st 4 years he was a back up and had very few carries. The big numbers only started 3 years ago.
As for Thurman Thomas' opinion, his job was to run the ball. Not to pass on words of wisdom.
June 20th, 2011
9:34 am
Another reason very few players could become good GMs. Thomas knew what the heck to do with a ball when it was thrown at him or handed to him. He was the man (among a few others).
But clearly he doesn't know what free agency is, thinks that a pile of rookies would have turned our defense around (yeah, maybe in a few years), and that we've ignored the RB position. I guess he doesn't know we drafted Rodgers….

You guys take this stuff way too seriously, it's an OPINION. Falcon fans relax, ur not going to beat GB anyway. Awesome how u non-athletic know it all's, know everything, when u have never stepped foot on an NFL field. Are non-athletic people the only ones to have an opinion. I've met Thurman plenty of times, and trust me he praises about Barry and Emmitt all the time. He told me he goes to the HOF, and ask himself, do I really belong here. He's not a stat guy, a me guy, trust me on this one. If you get a chance to meet him, you will think differently.
June 20th, 2011
9:57 am
Thurman Thomas was a great back. You can't really compare him to Emmitt or Barry. His style was different they were great runners. I would compare him to Marshall Faulk. He was a matchup nightmare because he was great runner and great receiver. Michael Turner probably have another two good seasons with the Falcons. The Falcons should do a better job of monitoring his carriers, but I guess the feel they took a gamble paying him big bucks on a unproven back. So they going to ride him hard. Eddie George was a great back with Titans for about a 5 year span. He was always top in the league with carries every year. He retired at pretty young age. A running back just have a very short life. Emmitt had the best line ever and Barry Sanders was just awesome with what he had players of his caliber don't come around that often.

Thurman, I do not know if you may read this but if you do show some class and have more knowledge of your subject matter. You can make 3 or 4 good statements and it all can be lost with a few classless statements. You never hear Willie Mays talking about if he had not played in Candlestick Park or drafted into the milatary he would be the all time home run leader. It's called CLASS.

I see Roddy White said the he sld be higher than 24th on the NFL Network top 100 players. I don't see you Falcons fan saying he's classless like you said about Thurman…

Thanks DOL for the Thurman Thomas article. Interesting, but it's just his opinion which is clear just like all the other posters on this blog. It's their opinions. Some are knowledgeable; some are stupid. And as some one has said, "you can't fix stupid!" Just glad the Falcons have great leadership and are committed to winning football games. It's more fun to win! Or to be a fan of a winning team.

A few things……
A lot of people like to say it was the defense defense defense that played poorly in the play-off loss to Green Bay. While the defense deserves it share of the blame….do these people remember the costly offensive turnovers that also doomed the Falcons. As coach Mike Smith has repeatedly said it was a bad night for the whole (offense,defense,coaching staff) Atlanta Falcons team.
Thurman Thomas said the Falcons "have a long ways to go"…I don't agree with that. I would categorize a team such as the Carolina Panthers in the "long ways to go" category.
I will agree with Thomas in that the load needs to be decreased for running back Michael Turner. From what I am reading and hearing the coaching staff is ready to let Matt Ryan take on a much more heavy load on offense. I certainly hope that turns out to be true.
June 20th, 2011
11:53 am
Oh and one more thing…..Thurman Thomas said the Falcons need to learn to win on the road. Well they were 6-2 on the road in 2010. That is a damn good road record in the NFL.
June 20th, 2011
12:12 pm
@ Sir Thomas – I should have gone to a basic blog 101 due to not having any experience or having met any of the players like Sir Thomas did. Please excuse the hell out of my lack of knowledge. I will try to stay out of your blog. Better yet, why don't you find another blog and leave this one to us unknowledgable ones. I read Thomas' words that happened to have quotation marks around them. That means HE said them. He also said the Falcons need to learn how to win on the road. As bigstack said, we were 6-2 on the road. I'm thinking that's not bad, but he did play in the NFL and I didn't so I guess he knows better. Do you know there are players in the NFL that can't read and write? Be thankful you are a little above them.

T. Thomas is a very good person & great RB. But he has no "SB – WINNERS" rings in his memoirs. Been there 4 times ended-up kissing his sister, enough said!
This Falcons team and Coaching staff are still in their infancy, "SKY IS THE LIMIT BABY"
Go Turner – Go Falcons

1:24 pm
Last time I checked, neither did Barry, Martin, ED, Baylor, Barkley, and alot of other GREAT ones don't have rings. How many rings do the Falcons have, last I counted (0). It's a team game, and he always put his team above any accomplishments. Just because the Falcons are committed to winning doesn't mean it's going to happen. You can put qoutes around anything clown..
June 20th, 2011
1:24 pm
Thurman Thomas does have a very valid point. I'm from Atlatna but I lived in Upstate New York for 10 years. Ice and Snow on the ground 6 months of the year. Not easy to play on..I can only think of two other backs that have the same kind of production as Thurman did and played outside up north. Walter Payton, and Jim Brown…pretty good company.
June 20th, 2011

Andersen…Our two road loses??? Philly and Steelers. I think he meant win on the road against GOOD teams…not Panthers and Bucs.

Any Thoughts on Roddy White, or just because he's a Falcon, he can say what he wants, and you guys won't comment on it. Sounds like a guy, who pats himself on the back.. Thoughts plzz, oh he said he sld be ranked higher than the 24th best player in the NFL…. At least Thurman's in the HOF
June 20th, 2011
1:33 pm
Thanks @Deez, that's what I got out of the article. Cld Atlanta have did what GB did on it's SB run, I think not, because you're not going to get Home field advantage every yr… Just my opinion
June 20th, 2011
2:32 pm
Thomas – You got out of the article that he meant to say one thing and said another and you are trying to convince us how smart you are. Then you showed off your ignorance when you said you can put quotation marks around anything. No you can't. I won't bother to explain. Intelligent people already know.
Deez – Did you happen to think that while Thurman was running the ball in the ice and snow that the defense was having to tackle in the same. I believe the side knowing where the ball is going has the advantage which is the offense. They might also be playing teams that are not conditioned to that type of weather such as Miami, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Carolina, NO, Dallas, 49ers, Oakland and many others. There are also many teams up north that play in domes also being at a disadvantage. Seems like things were going his way. As bigstack's dad said, opinions are like a$$ holes which reminds my, see ya Thomas.
June 20th, 2011
3:13 pm
@Thomas hey boooozo – the Falcons have at least 1 SB losers ring. Just like you have 4 "LOSER" SB rings – almost in "ROW" – "It is what it is" – no need to through out any false or true quotes. Senor Thomas Boozo The Clown! So if you are not a Falcons fan – you can exict "NOW"!
Go Turner Go Falcons

Hey Y'all:
I respect Thurmond Thomas a lot as a running back, but not as a coach making decision on what wins football games. From what I remeber he never coached any of the games that his team ran. he just ran the plays that were given to him. Also, with all that, his coaching did not win any Super Bowls for Buffalo. Ou Falcons are a young team on the rise and what we are doing is working for us in "ONE HEARTBEAT!!". Of course, we are tweeking the offense to be more explosive and this will take a load off Turner, but for now, the "PROCESS CONTINUES" and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Our Falcons, community,local media and players know what hurt them in the playoff and I am morethan confident they will be addressing that weaklnes through free agency. T ame more than confident they will be dong this in "ONE HEARTBEAT"!!" . So we respect your advice Thurmond but save it for the Buffalo Bills.
This is a SECRET from a FALCON FAN. TELL EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!

How come everyone see's that the Falcons needed to address their pitiful D except the Falcons? Even a "self promoter" like Thomas can see it and he was right in saying the Falcons are a long way away from any championship bid. Sorrrrrrry Falcons fans but not this year again !

The National Hockey League Players' Association and the National Hockey League announced Friday that the team payroll range established for the 2009-10 season will be $56.8 million with a salary floor of $48.8 million.
The move represents an increase of $100,000 from last year's ceiling total.
Both the NHL and the NHLPA confirmed the players voted to apply the five percent inflator, which allowed the salary cap for next season to rise slightly.
The league had been telling general managers and owners that the cap number could be $57.1 million, up a few hundred thousand from last season's maximum of $56.7 million.
Since it was introduced, the NHL salary cap has risen each year, starting from the original $39-million set at the end of the NHL Lockout.

Reps. Yarmuth, Slaughter Introduce Bill to Study Health Consequences of Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining
Wednesday February 06, 2013
"WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) and Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (NY-25) introduced the Appalachian Community Health Emergency Act (H.R. 526), legislation that would require the first comprehensive federal study of the health dangers of mountaintop removal coal mining. The legislation would place a moratorium on all new mountaintop removal mining permits while federal officials examine health consequences to surrounding communities.
"Mountaintop removal coal mining destroys entire ecosystems and contaminates the water supplies in mining communities, making people sick and jeopardizing their safety," said Congressman Yarmuth. "This legislation will provide families in these communities the answers they need and the protection they deserve. If it can't be proven that mountaintop removal mining is safe, we shouldn't allow it to continue."
"Every American has a right to live and work in a community free from environmental health risks," said Congresswoman Slaughter, a native of Harlan County, Ky. "And it is our duty to ensure that this right is not infringed upon by industries that consider community health and environmental protection to be less important than their profit margins. Given the growing field of evidence that people living near mountaintop removal coal mining sites are at an elevated risk for a range of major health problems, we should place a moratorium on further mountaintop coal removal activity until we can ensure the health and safety of families in these communities."
In mountaintop removal mining operations, coal companies use heavy machinery and explosives to remove the upper levels of mountains to more easily access the coal seams beneath. They dispose of the waste in adjacent valleys. Mine waste pollution – including dangerous heavy metals such as selenium and sulfate – often contaminates or buries waterways in the valleys.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, mountaintop removal mining operations have buried or polluted nearly 2,000 miles of Appalachian streams. These are primary water sources for hundreds of families and entire communities.
"All the research points to what mountain people have known since mountaintop removal began: It is not possible to destroy our mountains without destroying ourselves," said Bev May, a family nurse practitioner and resident of Floyd County, Ky. "It's not possible to poison our streams without poisoning our children for untold generations to come. The research is not complete, but there's more than enough research to justify an immediate moratorium on mountaintop removal."
Evidence is mounting that people living in communities near mountaintop removal coal mining sites are at an elevated risk for a range of major health problems. While there has long been anecdotal evidence to support this conclusion, recent peer-reviewed research has examined the question more systematically and revealed compelling results.
One peer-reviewed study in Environmental Research found that communities near mountaintop removal mining sites showed elevated levels of birth defects – including circulatory and respiratory problems, and damage to the central nervous system, muscoskeletal and gastrointestinal systems – when compared with communities surrounding non-MTR mines. [Read the study here.]
Additionally, an analysis in the journal Science found that in communities near mountaintop removal coal mining sites, "adult hospitalizations for chronic pulmonary disorders and hypertension are elevated as a function of county-level coal production, as are rates of mortality; lung cancer; and chronic heart, lung, and kidney disease. Health problems are for women and men, so effects are not simply a result of direct occupational exposure of predominantly male coal miners." [Read the study here.]
The first comprehensive scientific report on mountaintop removal mining was released in 2010 – more than three decades after the practice became legal.
Mountaintop removal mining is largely mechanized and requires far fewer miners than traditional underground mining. In Kentucky, the increase in mountaintop removal mining operations has coincided with a 60 percent decline in the number of miners – from 47,000 to approximately 18,000 – since the practice became legal 36 years ago, according to the Kentucky Office of Energy Policy."

House Representatives Introduce Bill to Address Appalachian Health Crisis and Stop Mountaintop Removal
Bill would protect Appalachian families from extremely destructive coal mining practice
Washington, DC – Today a group of U.S. House of Representatives lawmakers introduced the Appalachian Community Health Emergency Act (ACHE Act, H.R. 526) to protect Appalachian families and communities from the nation's most extreme form of coal mining, mountaintop removal.

The ACHE Act responds to more than 20 peer-reviewed scientific studies published on the human health impacts of mountaintop removal by calling for a moratorium on mountaintop removal coal mining permits until health studies are conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services.
This quickly expanding body of science reveals significantly elevated rates of mortality, cancer, major organ disease, and birth defects in the areas closest to mountaintop removal mining, after controlling for all major contributing factors. One study even shows a 42 percent higher risk of birth defects in communities near mountaintop removal.
In a statement released today, leading sponsor Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) said:
"Mountaintop removal coal mining destroys entire ecosystems and contaminates the water supplies in mining communities, making people sick and jeopardizing their safety," said Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3). "This legislation will provide families in these communities the answers they need and the protection they deserve. If it can't be proven that mountaintop removal mining is safe, we shouldn't allow it to continue."
Added ACHE Act cosponsor Rep. Louise Slaughter, a Kentucky native:
"Every American has a right to live and work in a community free from environmental health risks," said Congresswoman Slaughter, "and it is our duty to ensure that this right is not infringed upon by industries that consider community health and environmental protection to be less important than their profit margins. There is mounting evidence that people living in communities near mountaintop removal coal mining sites are at an elevated risk for a range of major health problems, and until we can ensure there is no link between the mines and these risks, we should place a moratorium on further mountaintop coal removal activity."
The following are statements from Appalachian citizens and members of the Appalachian Community Health Emergency Act (ACHE) Campaign:
Bo Webb, resident of the Coal River Valley in West Virginia and founder of the Appalachian Community Health Emergency Campaign:
"We applaud Representatives John Yarmuth, Louise Slaughter, and 22 other original co-sponsors of this bill for recognizing the science and making the choice to work for the protection of the people of Appalachia. This bill offers an opportunity to all House members to put politics aside and protect lives and families."
Laura Antrim Caskey, founder of Appalachia Watch, Rock Creek, West Virginia:
"The U.S. Geological Survey has advised us not to eat the vegetables or fruits from our gardens because toxic fallout from mountaintop removal blasting has contaminated our soil! We need swift passage of the ACHE Act."
Allen Johnson, founder of Christians For The Mountains:
"The ACHE Act addresses an emergency, a situation of immediate risk to health and life that requires prompt intervention. It is morally imperative to help in an emergency. We plead for Congress to quickly enact the ACHE Act and save lives."
Maria Gunnoe, West Virginia–based organizer with Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, 2009 North American Goldman Prize Winner, and 2012 Wallenberg Medal recipient in recognition of crucial human rights work:
"I have fought the impacts of mountaintop removal (MTR) on my home and health for 18 years. Now science is showing that it's killing me and my community, and Congress needs to listen. Cancer here is as common as the cold. The fact is this is not about who is winning; it is about who is dying from the violent impacts of MTR."
Bob Kincaid, West Virginia-based activist and radio broadcaster:
"Appalachia has suffered for over a hundred years. It's time the suffering stopped. The ACHE Act represents the last, best hope for putting an end to the suffering and finally treating Appalachian people like full-fledged American citizens. We must pass it NOW."
The APPALACHIAN COMMUNITY HEALTH EMERGENCY (ACHE) campaign is the
collaborative grassroots effort advocating for government action and protection of the public
from the health crisis in mountaintop removal communities.

Index -> Recipe Finder -> Miscellaneous
Savory Braised Lamb Shanks (February 2000)
Savory Braised Lamb Shanks, when cooked by a slow, moist heat with red wine, Great Northern beans, and a generous amount of garlic, create a robust Mediterranean-inspired meal. A sprinkling of gremolata -- a mixture of parsley, grated lemon zest, and
Melon Cooler (July 200)
The character of this refreshing dessert is part smoothie and part sorbet, with alternating layers of pureed honeydew and cantaloupe. Begin by spooning up cool mouthfuls and, once it melts a bit, sip it through a straw.
Pear-Cranberry Butter (December 1995)
Made without added sugar, this slightly tart spread provides only 34 calories per tablespoon.
Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon Salad (February 1996)
The "up front" berry-cherry taste and spicy bouquet of zinfandel make this versatile dinner wine particularly well suited to this peppery salad.
Red-Wine-Poached Pears (November 2002)
After a rich feast, a simple but special dessert -- like these pears, poached in red wine flavored with orange, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon sticks -- offers just the right touch of natural sweetness and blazing autumn color.
Le Tian (May 1996)
This vegetable specialty takes its name from the glazed earthenware dish in which it is traditionally baked. This recipe may be assembled, wrapped tightly, and refrigerated several hours before it is baked.
Two-Cheese Vegetable Strata (December 1999)
Stale bread actually works best in this casserole-like dish.
Hot Steamed Pastrami (October 2006)
Cranberry Apple Relish (November 1996)
Concentrated apple juice and the natural sweetness of Golden Delicious apples tame the tartness of the fresh cranberries used in this tangy, cinnamon-scented relish.
Mexican Rice, Beans, and Sausage (February 1998)
With the help of Mexican-flavored sausage and a pantry stocked with rice, beans, and corn, this hearty medley can be ready to serve in less than an hour.
Roasted Potatoes and Turnips (November 2002)
Bake earthy potatoes and turnips with smoky bacon and rosemary for an appetizing alternative to mashed potatoes.
Savory New Potatoes and Shallots (April 2000)
For a more decorative presentation, use a vegetable peeler or a paring knife to remove a band of peel from the middle of each potato.
Native American Popcorn with Peanuts
Adapted from an American-Indian recipe in Native Harvest by Barrie Kavasch (Random House), this easy hors d'oeuvre is wonderful and very simple. You might also want to try using almond or cashew butter.
Ginger-Flavored Roasted Pears (February 1996)
Aromatic but not too heavy, this ginger-spiced fruit dessert makes a fine ending for a hearty winter meal.
The Kitchen's Chambord Layer Cake (October 2003)
Rich fruit preserves fill the Kitchen's Chambord Layer Cake with black-raspberry-flavored buttercream.
Avery Island Punch
Serve this colorful and effervescent punch as guests arrive for your Thanksgiving feast.
Marinated Vegetable and Olive Salad (December 1995)
Green and ripe olives mingle with cauliflower and carrots in this marinated salad. The salad, which improves in flavor when refrigerated overnight, is an ideal make-ahead party dish.
Veal Stew (January 1999)
An elegant combination of tender veal cubes and winter vegetables, this one-pot dish derives added flavor from a dash of the parsley, garlic, and lemon-rind combination northern Italians call Gremolata.
Indian-Spiced Lamb Chili (January 2001)
You may choose to cook the rice with saffron or turmeric, either of which gives it golden color and distinctive flavor. If so, you'll need only small quantities of these spices.
Seafood Paella (August 2000)
This rustic peasant dish, traditionally cooked outdoors over a woodfire, can be prepared in your backyard over a grill or in your kitchen on top of your stove. Our recipe is easily halved if you're entertaining a smaller crowd.
Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce (March 2003)
This condiment is that little something extra that pours on the flavor. Fiery Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce will spark your taste buds.
Cranberry-Strawberry Ice Cream Topping (11/1/2004)
Serve this sauce over strawberry ice cream and top it with whipped cream and toasted nuts for an autumn sundae.
Saffron Buns (October 1995)
A fine accompaniment to afternoon tea, these fragrant raisin-studded buns are best when lightly spread with butter.
Sweet and Spicy Pork Chili (January 2001)
This chili goes well with an aromatic rice, such as jasmine or basmati.
Rigatoni Arrabbiata (October 1996)
In Italian, the word arrabbiata means "enraged." In this pasta dish, it refers to the fiery chiles used to flavor the chunky tomato sauce.
Cranberry-Pear Wild-Rice Stuffing (November 2001)
Cooking the wild rice and storing it in the refrigerator (for up to 2 days) relieves you of this duty on the big day.
Old Country Potato-Dill Bread (February 2001)
This free-form, round potato bread is soft on the inside and crisp and golden on the outside.
Orange Cream Float (July 2002)
This summer cooler brings back memories of the orange and vanilla ice cream bars we bought from the neighborhood ice cream truck as kids.
Olive Fougasse (February 2001)
Use the best olives and olive oil you can find for this French-style flat bread. It is rolled into a rectangle to form traditional patterns like sunbursts and tree branches.
Three-Pickle Relish (March 2003)
Half-sour, kosher dill, and sweet gherkin pickles are the main players in Three-Pickle Relish. A gentle hint of acidity makes flavors pop.
Pistachio Chocolate Apples (November 1995)
Apples on a stick are traditionally coated with a bright-red candy coating or gooey caramel. In this version, crisp red apples are topped with chocolate, then sprinkled with toffee candy and chopped pistachios.
Texas-Style Chili (January 1999)
Sweet green pepper and corn added to cumin- and chili-seasoned chunks of sirloin beef up this super-delicious Super Bowl stew.
Savory Cornmeal Cookies (January 2001)
A cross between a cracker and a biscuit, these airy little bites can be served alongside chili or as an hors d'oeuvre.
Toasted Coconut Coffee Cake (May 2003)
Offer a slice of Toasted Coconut Coffee Cake for a midmorning break or as the grand finale to Sunday brunch.
Romaine-Wrapped Marinated Mozzarella (May 1997)
Garlic, red pepper, and oregano flavor the extra-virgin olive oil used to marinate the fresh mozzarella at the heart of this savory grilled appetizer.
Tagliatelle with Red Seafood Sauce (March 1993)
As is the tradition in Italy, substitute any other seafood that's available or preferred in this garlicky pasta dish.
Moroccan Lamb Kebabs (March 2001)
Marinating meat in a mildly acidic liquid, such as buttermilk, not only tenderizes the meat but enhances its flavor.
Pickled Plums (August 2006)
Buttermilk Chicken Dumplings (October 2006)
Basic Chocolate Cake
Less is more when it comes to this basic chocolate cake batter. Use a whisk, but stir, rather than whip, the room-temperature ingredients together.
Plum Buckle (August 2006)
Old-Fashioned Jam Cake (July 2006)
Our Basic Vanilla Cake, sliced to create layers, is party perfect when spread with fresh peach preserves and sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
Cold Noodle Salad with Pickled Plums (August 2006)
Cinnamon and Vanilla Fruit Compote (November 2006)
The rich, spicy flavors of cinnamon and vanilla permeate every luscious drop of this dried fruit compote. Spoon over ice cream for an easy weeknight dessert.
Oven-Roasted Beets
Because this preparation is so simple, the Oven-Roasted Beets really benefit from a garnish of high-quality sea salt, such as Maldon.
Cocoa Cake
This moist, fluffy chocolate cake is topped with a cloudlike layer of sweetened whipped cream.
Wild Rice, Corn Bread and Pecan Stuffing (November 2003)
This Wild Rice, Corn Bread and Pecan Stuffing is the perfect complement to your Thanksgiving turkey.
Grilled Lobster with Lime-Bay Butter (July 2000)
These lobsters are first parboiled, then finished on the grill for a no-fuss but special treat.
Rice Pudding with Macadamia-Maple Brittle (March 2000)
Reminiscent of crème brûlée, this creamy rice pudding is topped with a maple, brown sugar, and macadamia-nut mixture that gives the dessert a brittle-like finish.
Rosemary Raisin Focaccia with Pine Nuts (February 2001)
Focaccia -- hearth bread -- originated in Italy and is quite versatile. For a snack or to accompany soup or salad try dipping this flat bread in olive oil or cut it into squares, split them, and make sandwiches. Either way, it's irresistible.

KIA OPTIMA HYBRID – SUPERMAN: Unveiled at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, is the Superman-inspired Optima Hybrid, one of an eight vehicle partnership between Kia and DC Entertainment. These custom-built Kia's are inspired by the iconic characters that make up the Justice League – including Superman. Symbolizing strength, the most recognized Super Hero in the world, Superman, has been paired with Kia's advanced and powerful Optima Hybrid, to create a distinctively modified ride. This unique Kia features the Superman's stylized color scheme that contains the unmistakable chest emblem on the hood, and an eye-catching red paint that extends with a thin line from the front towards the rear, outlining the roof and flowing across the trunk lid – evoking the look of his crimson cape. Note how the beveled front grille resembles Superman's belt, and the red headlights glow with the same intensity of his heat vision. Overall the Optima has been widened with custom fenders, giving the vehicle a muscular appearance, and it features an adjustable suspension system that can raise and lower the vehicle with the push of a button. Within the five occupant cabin are seats, dash and panels covered with materials to reflect Superman's impenetrable battle armor. And Superman's iconic "S" shield is integrated into the seats and steering wheel to give it the right heroic touch. A pair of video screens in the front-seat headrests play the "We Can Be Heroes" video about the worst hunger crisis in 60 years that demonstrates how one small act can make anyone a hero.

NEW YORK (AP) — Civil libertarians in New York City have begun an appeal of a federal judge's decision that found the National Security Agency's collection of Americans' phone records is legal.
Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union filed the notice of appeal on Thursday in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The judge's decision last week concluded the NSA program is a necessary extension of security measures taken after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
An earlier ruling by another federal judge had granted a preliminary injunction against collecting the phone records of two people who had challenged the program.
Government lawyers haven't responded. A Department of Justice spokesman said last week he was pleased the court found the NSA's collection program to be lawful.

By Lauren Keith - bio | email
(KFVS)- It's called the "indoor restroom" for your pets. The Potty Patch is highly requested by Heartland News viewers. So, can this patch of fake grass put an end to accidents?
"Ready? Go get it!" says my tester, Shelley McNallen, to her little dog.
Shelley has an active, cute little nine month old Maltese named Ella, who also doesn't always like to do her "business" outside.
"She's, for the most part, potty-trained, except when it rains or snows. She likes to go out and play, except when it's cold out."
When Shelley spotted this product, she contacted me right away. So, we'll see if we can get this indoor restroom to work for Ella. Shelley and I place the tiers on top of one another. The top is fake grass, the middle is a grate that supposedly keeps the grass dry and above any liquid that collects in the very bottom tray.
Oh and beware...the fake grass makes quite a mess when you first put this together.
"It's supposed to be washable."
We'll see, but first we have to get Ella to use it. It's not going so well either. She's almost afraid to step on it. So, Shelley and I take the Potty Patch to Ella's favorite little place to have an accident when she's not supposed to. Problem is...she runs off. She's not a fan of the Potty Patch.
Maybe things will change over the next few weeks, but right now, Ella's not enthused. Not much changes when I return a few weeks later.
"She's completely ignored it."
The McNallens tried all kinds of things to lure her to the Potty Patch, and now they're pretty disappointed.
"In some ways because I was hoping that when we travel and we are in a hotel and we can't get her outside, it would be a tool for that."
Ella prefers her pet door and the great outdoors, even when it's wet outside over this. One benefit though: she hates the Potty Patch so much, she stopped having accidents in her usual spot, just so she wouldn't go near it.
So, that's why Shelley stops short of giving this a final letter grade.
"It's hard for me to give it a letter grade when she didn't use it."
Hard for me, too....and to be fair I then took the Potty Patch to another tester with three little yappers. Lisa McBride placed the Potty Patch by the door in her home, and right away, she says one of the Yorkies used it.
"It seems to work pretty well for them."
Lisa says her youngest dog, a Pomeranian pup named Dixie, is still the most timid around it, but when placed on top of the fake grass, she does her "thing."
It's no big deal for one of the other Yorkies, as we caught on tape. So, it seems the Potty Patch can work, if your dog digs it. Lisa also thinks this could save you some money in the long run.
"Probably save quite a bit instead of buying puppy pads all the time. Those are expensive."
The Potty Patch is a chunk of money up front though. It's a little over $50 with shipping, just for the small pad. I'd buy it in stores to save yourself $15 or so, and because this is so popular it took three months to get here on back-order!
"About a B minus."
Fair enough---the Potty Patch is high and dry with a B minus on this Does it Work test. You can buy it online and at Petco stores.

FORT BLISS — The Fort Bliss recycling program has reached the goal of $1 million of revenue from recyclables for fiscal 2012. A check presentation was made at 9a.m. Tuesday at the Centennial Banquet & Conference Center, East Fort Bliss.
The $1million program began in February 2012 and over a three month period raised $335, 000. The recycling program collected everything from paper to cardboard, plastics and aluminum, computers and other items.
The revenue generated by the recycling program is given to Morale, Welfare and Recreation to benefit the Fort Bliss community, which in turns helps Soldiers and their families.
Some projects the money may be used for include new shades for Replica Aquatic Center, spin bikes at the gyms and other equipment and playgrounds in the housing areas.

Hydrocortisone impairs calcium absorption and new bone formation. Patients on prolonged treatment with hydrocortisone and other corticosteroids can develop osteoporosis and an increased risk of bone fractures. Supplemental calcium and vitamin D are encouraged to slow this process of bone thinning.
In rare individuals, destruction of large joints (aseptic necrosis) can occur while undergoing treatment with hydrocortisone or other corticosteroids. These patients experience severe pain in the joints involved, and can require joint replacements. The reason behind such destruction is not clear.

This time of year brings frigid temperatures to many areas, including snow and ice. We all struggle to stay warm this time of year, and hate to go out if we don't have to. But this struggle is even more pronounced for those who have to live in it on a daily basis. This has become an even greater issue with the recent winter storm that has blasted its way across many states in the midwest, leaving behind piles of snow and single digit temperatures.
At night, temperatures can reach dangerous lows, being a danger to those exposed to it for long periods. This became fatal for one man in Kansas City, Missouri who was found dead in the downtown area recently. Police investigating the matter are suspecting that he possibly may have frozen to death from exposure to the extremely cold temperatures overnight.
This sad occurrence has brought attention to those who struggle to find a warm and safe place to sleep. Many of those who struggle to find warmth turn to local homeless shelters. Those in Kansas City become extremely busy when the weather turns nasty, like it has recently done. In many cases, they are lined up outside area shelters before they are open for the evening, waiting to get a spot inside. Shelters struggle to keep up the rising numbers of those on the streets, and providing a place out of the cold can often become a challenge with the increasing number in need of it.
Kansas City police are still looking into the incident, but have not given any indication that foul play may have been committed. They are stating that cold exposure is a possibility, as he was found near a fence located adjacent to a downtown street. The official call on the incident will be given at the conclusion of the investigation.

A reception will follow in the School of Communication's television studio in Kolbe Hall. The studio, used by Fox 8-Cleveland for live broadcasts and as an educational opportunity for UA communication students, will be open for tours. Also open for tours will be the WZIP-FM studio and the Social Media Learning Lab. Historic materials from UA's Goodyear Collection will be on display.
The event is free and open to the public. Reservations are not required but are strongly recommended by contacting ext. 7600 or firstname.lastname@example.com. It is is sponsored by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, School of Communication and Archival Services of the University Libraries.
Wittman, who was inducted in December with Al Michaels into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame, joined Goodyear in 1968. Over the course of his 28-year career, Wittman managed blimp television coverage of more than 2,500 live events, including 30 World Series, 24 Super Bowls and five Olympics. Wittman also managed aerial coverage for such events as the San Francisco earthquake during the 1989 World Series and the aftermath of the bombing of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

If the Phils spent the first day of the Winter Meetings dealing for a corner outfielder, a third baseman and a couple of pitchers they're apparently keeping it on the down-low. Fingers crossed.
This article suggests that the Dodgers are more interested in trying sign Andruw Jones to a shorter contract than giving a longer deal to Rowand. Opinions apparently vary about the chances of Rowand returning to the Phils. I think he is going to the White Sox, but I would say the chances of him coming back to the Phils are low but not zero. You have to believe that they would increase at least a little if the Phils don't add another corner outfielder or acquire help at third.
This article suggests that the Phils have clear interest in Kris Benson and some interest in Bartolo Colon and Jason Jennings and not as much in Carlos Silva or Kyle Lohse. Gillick also sounds like he's feeling a little less than warm and fuzzy about Randy Wolf, calling Wolf's signing with the Padres a blessing in disguise.
While we're on the subject, Scott Rolen's secondary average last year was .232. I would guess the Phillies are about as likely to bring him back as they are Steve Jeltz.
And speaking of the man, if we could get Jeltz to weigh in it sounds like we could call it just about unanimous that the Phillies aren't interested in Melvin Mora.
This article talks about what the Braves might be trying to do at the Winter Meetings. The Braves, I fear, are looking likely to continue their upswing.
The Nationals traded for Elijah Dukes. It's gonna be quite a clubhouse.
This article says that the White Sox are still interested in Rowand and may be looking to trade Joe Crede.
Lefty Brian Anderson is attempting a comeback after missing the last two seasons. The Rockies may be interested. Anderson had elbow surgery in 2005 and 2006. In 2004 with the Royals he gave up 33 home runs in 166 innings while throwing to 5.64 ERA, so he's not really screaming ideally suited to finish out his days at Citizens Bank Park.

Blaine finishes second at annual AAU basketball tournament
Blaine�s annual seventh and eighth grade boys AAU basketball tournament, this year sponsored by local sandwich and pizza man Dale Schrader and billed as the Subway Hoop Classic, saw Lynden emerge as the winner with a perfect 5-0 record over the tourney�s two days.
Red Goodwin, long-time director of the local AAU program who turned over the reigns this year to Blaine coach Wayne Schouten said Lynden is a good team. �They�re one of the better teams north of Seattle, and don�t lose very often,� he stated. As it was, Blaine came closest among the other five tournament teams, staying even with Lynden for the first 10 minutes in the Sunday afternoon title game.
Blaine then hit a dry spell, however, at the same time that a combination of Lynden�s ball-hawking defense and Lynden forward Brady Bomber�s shooting opened a gap of 11 points.
With six minutes left Blaine guard Conner Oldham sunk a three to close within eight points. Lynden lost the ball on their next possession but Oldham�s second three point attempt rimmed out, and Lynden slowly pulled away to win by 17 points, 46-29.
Blaine�s six-foot-three-inch center Cole Avery and back-up center and forward Cody Barthlow provided consistent scoring in double figures in all five games. Avery�s size and strength showed that despite being double-teamed he was still able to force most of his shots over Lynden�s frustrated center Adam DeLange, who fouled out with several minutes left in the contest. Lynden scoring was led by forwards Brady Bomber and Tate Dallas.
The Ferndale Golden Eagles seventh grade AAU team defeated the Bellingham Regulators 52-50 in the Championship game of the Blaine AAU/Subway Hoop Classic last Sunday.
The Regulators, led by as many as 10 points on several occasions, but could not shake the resilient Eagles. Ferndale battled back, using a full court pressure defense� that forced the Regulators into committing several turnovers, that sparked the Ferndale rally.�
Tournament All Star Casey�Locker scored 20 points for the Golden Eagles in the championship game capping a solid all around tourney performance for the Eagle standout.�
The�Regulators were led by Cameron Beshara and Brandon Sanford who scored 18 and 14�points respectively�for the Bellingham squad.
Slivers from the bench
ski area open
The Mt. Baker Ski Area opens today, nearly a month earlier than last year, with more snow than they had at the same time in the 95-foot record-setting season five years ago. Area spokesperson Gwyn Howat anticipates 80 percent of the mountain will be available today and that by the weekend chairs 6 and 7 will also open.
Blaine school district�s six-week winter ride program (six Saturdays in a row for $78) begins in January and has a new coordinator, Peggy Richardson, who can be reached at 332-0521 or 332-7938. sign-up deadline is Friday, December 5.
sports begin
Blaine�s basketball season begins for both boys and girls the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 29, with a jamboree in Lynden. Wrestling begins the following Wednesday, December 3, with a jamboree here.
Strong soccer season comes to an end, team finishes 14-7
The Borderite girls� strong fall soccer season ended last Saturday in the rain as they dropped a state tournament quarterfinal game 1-2 to the Eatonville Cruisers in neutral Sumner. They finish with a record identical to last year�s 14-7, and end in the same place, the state tournament quarterfinals.
Blaine�s head coach Dan Steelquist was direct after the game: �We outplayed them, but they outscored us.�
Blaine dominated in both shots on goal (12-6) and time of possession, but the Cruisers counter-attacking game that put a premium on speed also generated more goals that particular day.
Cruiser Jenny Baker�s first half goal, her 40th overall this season, was a rocket that the right-hander shot with her left foot following a breakaway. Senior keeper Shela Robertson, who finishes the year with nine shut-outs, stopped several other shots on goal until 15 minutes into the second half when the Cruiser�s fastest player, Megan Hecht, broke away down the left touchline for a direct shot. Robertson deflected it high into the air, but the bounce gave Cruiser Sarah Painter an easy shot that she tapped home for the game winner.
Blaine�s goal came as a result of a foul called when the ref spotted junior mid Andrea Harmening dribbling across the Cruisers� goal mouth with an Eatonville defender draped across her back like a bad Halloween costume.
�When the ref spotted the ball for Kimberly Harmening�s penalty kick, there was absolutely no doubt where it would go,� Steelquist said.
Harmening thundered a kick to the right as the Cruiser keeper sailed left, either having guessed wrong or just plain afraid of the ball. �Our girls controlled the pace of the game and had their chances up front,� said Steelquist, �they just didn�t finish. Every player stepped up big, though, because they play well at this level of competition. They know and understand the game so well that they play a mature and sophisticated style that�s fun to watch. They played with confidence, right up to the end.�
head out, some return next year
This was Steelquist�s seventh season, and he�ll have some big cleats to fill next year with the departure of both all-league keeper Shela Robertson and her backup, Issaquah transfer Holly Steckler. Also departing are mid Jenna Makalai, a transfer last year from Canada, all-league Kristina Francis and forwards Krista Jones and Kimberly Harmening.
He said losing six seniors, four of whom have lettered all four of their high school years, will force changes in next year�s style. �
We�ll score more goals, be quicker and a little smaller,� he said, �but we�ve got lots of talent returning, like Alyssa Hendrickson and Andrea Harmening, and other girls have been patiently waiting their turn, too.�
all of the girls are done with soccer. Some, such as Ainsley
and Mackenzie Nix, will continue with Whatcom County�s FC
Rangers select soccer program. They�ll participate in another
tournament next month involving select teams from all over
the state.

'Phata Poster Nikhla Hero' revolves around Vishwas Rao, an aspiring actor mistaken for a super cop.
Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film stars Shahid Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz, Padmini Kolhapure and Darshan Jariwala.
While Nargis Fakhri, who was last seen in 'Madras Cafe', turns item girl for the film, superstar Salman Khan will be seen in a special appearance in 'Phata Poster Nikhla Hero'.
Talk about his role in 'Phata Poster Nikhla Hero', Shahid Kapoor in an interview with PTI, said, "It is the first time I am doing a comic character of this kind and it is a very new genre for me. I have never really done a masala action comedy in my career or played a character which makes the hero like entry and delivers very filmy dialogues. So I was very keen to know how it will feel."
The actor is all praise for director Rajkumar Santoshi, who he thinks has brought out the best of his comic side in the film.
"When I heard the script, I found it extremely entertaining. Rajji acted out every character from the film during the narration. I knew that I am with a director who is very clear about what he wants from me as an actor. He said this is the character to entertain the audience, so that they enjoy themselves with all the buffoonery that he does," Shahid added.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Fresh from her Democratic National Convention speech Tuesday night, first lady Michelle Obama has returned to fundraising for her hubby's campaign with a new approach: Diet for Barack.
In her latest email pitch, she compliments a donor who turned over the family pizza money to the campaign. For the health-conscious first lady, its a two-fer: families can take a break from fatty pizza and help the reelection.
Friend --
I know your life is full -- with work, or school, or family -- and yet you still find the time to help out when you can.
You may have a tight budget, but you give what you can afford.
A woman recently told the campaign her family skipped a pizza dinner at their favorite place so that they could make a difference in this election.
That is the commitment that drives this campaign.
If you can support Barack with a donation today, please know it makes a huge difference. If we win, it will be because of what you did at moments like this:
P.S. -- It meant a lot to me to speak with you and everyone else last night. Thank you for everything you do.

10 year old Serina Zelinka and 12 year old Bailey Bootz both got involved in archery, because of their fathers. Serina says,"He taught me everything and everything about archery. And everything I need to know, and I'm doing really good now." Bailey agrees, "I was hoping to be a bow hunter, but he showed me NASP and I like it a lot better, I'm happy that I switched."
What started out as a hobby, now has them on a national stage in Louisville. After placing in the top of their age groups, they have qualified for nationals.
Archery isn't your typical sport for young ladies. These girls realize that it's different, and love the challenge. Bailey explains, "Most girls will play girlier sports, such as swimming, soccer or volleyball, but shooting most girls don't do. NASP is more competitive, and I like being competitive."
Nationals is May 10th. For Serina and Bailey practice means remembering everything their fathers' taught them.

SMF Community Helpers > SMF Documentation Help
Help Wanted: Integration hooks and functions list in the wiki
(1/3) > >>
Can someone in the doc group update the integration functions list for 2.0.2?
specifically, incorporate this post:
with this additional update
Unfortunately, with everything else going on in my life right now, I don't have time to go through it.... but it seems like a nice thing for one of the doc helpers to take on. :)
AFAIK the wiki is updated...at least it should not contain old information...hopefully. :P
At the same time it doesn't contain all the informations in Orstio's guide mainly because 1) I'm lazy and 2) in the future it would be a nightmare with all the hooks in 2.1 to write down everything! :o (BTW I had in mind to split the main document in sub-documents and put back everything together like I was doing for $smcFunc, but I...well, I forgot about it.
There are indeed few hooks that are short in documentation and would need a bit of love...if anyone wants to do anything feel free to! :)
A part that is missing is Orstio's 1st reply on how to use SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS.
Angelina Belle:
Yes. That is a lot of work (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/$smcFunc/sandbox ). And not even completed yet.
I worked on this for the BB codes, and it worked well.
But it is a lot of work.
Is there a big advantage to this kind of work, splitting the article into a lot of sub-articles?
And do we have volunteers to work on it?
Right now is the second longest page on the wiki, for SMF 2.1 there will be other...100+ hooks to document...I feel that keep everything in one page will be a nightmare...
Of course there are other intermediate solutions like group hooks in several different pages.
But the semantic-wiki way could have advantages (i.e. create several different pages grouping different hooks based on several different categorizations)
Side note related to this, for you wiki folks: can we have a dev namespace or some other way of categorization (not sure which is best for the current way things are organized), for the pages documenting related things?
Such as integration hooks, but there are others.

Darlington played host Saturday to the first of many Independence Day celebrations taking place in and around Harford County over the next week, with a parade, Darlington Idol contest and fireworks.
"This is one of the better, what I would call, 'Hometown parades,' " Stephanie Gill of Norrisville said as she watched her 4-year-old daughter, MacKenzie, and 8-year-old son, Steven Jr., pick up pieces of candy tossed out by people riding on parade floats.
"It's what a parade should be in a small town," Gill continued.
Saturday's parade was part of the 26th Darlington Independence Day Celebration, and the last for Kira Dare as president of the Darlington Independence Day Celebration Committee.
Dare will step down from the position she has held for more than a decade, and the Darlington Lions' Club will take over putting on the community's Independence Day festivities.
Dare said there were 70 organizations registered to take part in the parade, which lasted for about an hour and 10 minutes. It was the largest and longest the parade since she became president of the committee.
"The word's out that we're a great parade," she said.
Saturday's parade proceeded through the downtown area of the village of Darlington, along Main Street and then Shuresville Road.
It included ambulances and fire trucks representing volunteer fire companies from around Harford and neighboring counties, mail trucks from the Darlington Post Office, vintage military, Maryland State Police and other vehicles, a black and bright purple "Bawlmer Ravens" fan bus blaring music and sirens, the Havre de Grace High School Marching Warriors, horseback riders, tractors and others.
"I like the horses and the fire tricks and the Ravens thing," little MacKenzie said. "I like all kinds of stuff!"
The grand marshal was Joni Nugent, a longtime resident of Darlington and a former member of the Darlington Independence Day Celebration Committee. She rode in a vintage Maryland State Police truck.
Carla Yeago, the parade mistress of ceremonies, noted Nugent "has contributed immensely to the village of Darlington," as she announced the grand marshal from the reviewing stand.
Members of Boy Scout Troop 301 of Dublin made up the parade's color guard to lead the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem to open the parade, and members of local Girl Scout groups could be seen marching in the parade also.
"This event is just such a wonderful event for the community and I love being a part of it," said Yeago, who said she has been emcee for at least eight years. "I just love seeing everyone come out and enjoy the night."
The parade did not just draw spectators from northern Harford County, however.
John Mayni of Bel Air attended with his friend, Candice Doehring, of Abingdon, and her fiance, Richard Fuggi, of Bel Air.
"I'm only 25 minutes down the road," Mayni said. "It's definitely worth the trip."
Mayni and his friends sat along Shuresville Road, watching the parade go by.
"I loved it," Doehring said. "I think everything in the parade was wonderful, fantastic and awesome."
Fuggi grew up in Darlington.

Line cake pans with brown paper sacks. Trace bottom of pan on paper then cut out. Cake comes out every time.
I am concerned about the dangerous chemicals on the fresh berries I buy. I use a simple recipe of 1 part vinegar (white or apple) to 10 parts water. Toss fruit in the liquid, swirl around, drain, rinse and put in container lined with a paper towel. Put fruit in the refrigerator and they will last so much longer. The vinegar kills the mold and other bacteria on the surface.
When reheating pizza, warm the pizza in the microwave for one minute. Then place the pizza in a skillet on the stove on medium to high heat for about two minutes to crisp the bottom. No more soggy crust!
After cutting or handling raw onions or garlic, get rid of the smell on your hands by running cold water and rubbing your hands on the stainless steel kitchen faucet! I don't know why, but it takes the smell away very quickly! Amazing!
Reheat homemade waffles in the toaster. The waffle will be hot and slightly crispy on the outside just like when it was fresh.
Instead of the mess of boiling hard boiled eggs, why not bake them? Place them in a muffin tin so they don't roll all over the place, heat oven to 325 degrees and bake them for 25-30 minutes. Easy to peel and no messy water to get rid of! Simple!
I'm a working mother of 3, I use my crock pot throughout the week as much as I can. I have learned to make almost anything in my crockpot from chicken, beef, taco meat, sloppy joes, meat balls, spaggetti, etc. I put the food in the crock pot before I go to work, supper is almost complete when I return home. This saves a lot of time that I can then spend with my husband and 3 boys in the evening.
There is nothing more annoying than having hunks of spaghetti noodles globbed together when going to serve dinner. This is how I keep my noodles (spaghetti, macaroni, lasagna--any kind) from sticking together while boiling in the pot. I drop about a teaspoon to tablespoon full of canola or olive oil in the water when I put the noodles in and stir! Works every time.
When I have leftover vegetables that I know I won't use in then next few days - I add them to a "vegetable bag" in my freezer. I any anything-corn, green beans, limas, black beans, cut up baked potatoes, etc. When the bag gets full I add ham pieces (also kept in freezer), tomato juice and spices to make Vegetable soup!! Yummy!
Hard boiled eggs are always a great go-to for events all year round but peeling them can be a pain! Here is a great tip to make this dish as easy as can be. When boiling the eggs just add 1/2 a tsp of baking soda to the water. That's it. When its time to peel then, the shells will slide right off. No more messy looking deviled eggs and its a great time saver!
