Jim Balsillie has put in an offer on the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Research in Motion co-CEO made his intentions known in a media release on Tuesday which confirmed that a $212.5 million (US) offer was on the table to purchase the team. One condition of the purchase was that Balsillie would relocate the franchise to an unspecified region in Southern Ontario.
"The current team ownership asked that I table an offer to purchase the Coyotes and significant discussions resulted in an offer that is in the best interests of the franchise, the NHL, and the great hockey fans of Canada and Southern Ontario," Balsillie said in the release.
"I am excited to move closer to bringing an NHL franchise to what I believe is one of the best un-served hockey markets in the world, Southern Ontario. A market with devoted hockey fans, a rich hockey history, a growing and diversified economy and a population of more than 7 million people," he said.
The release also says, Balsillie agreed to post debtor-in-possession financing of $17 million (US) at the request of the Coyotes franchise. The money will keep the franchise going before the sale is completed.
Balsillie re-iterated his desire to purchase the Coyotes at a hastily called press conference at the Metro Toronto Covention Centre Tuesday night where the Blackberry billionaire was attending a business awards banquet.
"This is a very clear and serious offer, and I'm excited and delighted to make this offer and try to bring a seventh team to Canada for hockey fans in an un-served market of Southern Ontario," Balsillie told reporters.
The Arizona Republic reported that the Coyotes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday. Coyotes' CEO Jerry Moyes stated that they have done everything they can to try and keep the team in Arizona.
"Extensive efforts have been undertaken to sell the team, or attract additional investors, who would keep the team in Glendale," Moyes told the Republic.
The city of Glendale, where the Coyotes play at the Jobbing.com Arena, released a statement of their own Tuesday expressing disappointment that the team has filed for bankruptcy, stating they remain hopeful that a way can be found to keep the team in Arizona.
"The decision by the ownership of the Phoenix Coyotes to initiate bankruptcy proceedings without consultation or approval of the National Hockey League is an unfortunate turn of events for the NHL, the State of Arizona and the Coyotes' loyal fans. Even as the propriety of this unprecedented action is being thoroughly investigated by the NHL, city officials are working diligently to ensure that the public's interest is fully protected throughout this process.
The City appreciates the decision by the NHL to assume control of the Coyotes and we are confident that every effort will be made to honour all contractual commitments. It is our hope that the NHL action will provide immediate stability to the franchise and allow the Coyotes to remain an important part of the Arizona community."
During his five-minute press conference in Toronto, Balsillie also stated how encouraged he was by the support he has received for a website that he has set up called makeitseven.ca, a website dedicated to bringing a seventh team to Canada.
"I've just been told we've been overwhelmingly flooded with thousands and thousands of people registering comment just in the past hour," Balsillie stated.
Much like Balsillie's previous attempts to purchase an existing franchise, the NHL is once again concerned with the provision in Balsillie's offer that states the deal hinges on the condition the team can be relocated to Southern Ontario.
Sources tell TSN that the NHL is not happy with what is perceived by the league as a powerplay by Balsillie and will wrestle with this matter in court.
Those proceedings are expected to begin on Thursday.
After learning of the purchase on Tuesday, the NHL's deputy commissioner Bill Daly released the following statement:
"We have just become aware of today's Bankruptcy Court filing purportedly made on behalf of the Phoenix Coyotes. We are investigating the circumstances surrounding the petition, including the propriety of its filing. We have removed Jerry Moyes from all positions of authority to act for or on behalf of the Club. The League will appear and proceed before the Bankruptcy Court in the best interests of all of the Club's constituencies, including its fans in Arizona and the League's 29 other Member Clubs."
While Balsillie's offer appears solid, it does not guarantee that the Coyotes are on the move.
"If others want to come in and there's an offer that is deemed better by the courts, then ultimately that would be a court decision," Steve Roman, a spokesman for Moyes told the ASSOCIATED PRESS. "As I understand it, the hope and the plan is that all of this would be dealt with by June 30, 2009. You have a person who has a purchase agreement, but at the same time there could be other players who want to get involved."
This is not the first time that Balsillie has drawn the league's ire when by attempted to bring a team to the Golden Horseshoe.
In 2007 Balsillie attempted to purchase the Nashville Predators in an effort to re-locate the team to Hamilton, and even gave fans the opportunity to put a down payment on season tickets. The deal fell through leading to speculation that the league was not interested in Balsillie attempting to move a team before he actually owned them.
These new details come on the heels of a series of confusing reports last week that the NHL was in charge of the Coyotes, a report Coyotes president Doug Moss refuted. The league did not release a comment.
In addition there seems to be a growing sentiment of bringing a second team to the Southern, Ontario region, recently deputy commissioner Bill Daly met with a group who are attempting to bring a second team to the Greater Toronto area. According to a release by the NHL following that meeting, that is not on the league's agenda.
"There is no consideration of bringing a second franchise to Toronto. We have no intention to expand in the foreseeable future, and there is no desire to relocate any of our existing franchises."
If Balsillie is successful in bringing the Coyotes to Canada it would mean that the franchise has come nearly full circle after the team was forced to relocate to the desert from Winnipeg in 1996.

Size of suites. The amenities in the room. Breakfast in the morning. The friendliest of the staff. The location of the hotel was central to what we wanted to do and see.
The omelets in the morning were disappointing, as then were prepared more like a crepe than an omelet. No bacon for breakfast.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The First Family set aside some time to remember, and give thanks Thursday.
President Obama tweeted a picture of his family to wish Americans a very Happy Holiday.
He acknowledged that the picture was taken a few years ago, but says it embraces a happy spirit.
In the president's Thanksgiving Day Address, he urged Americans to come together as a nation.
"Thanksgiving is a chance to put it all in perspective - to remember that, despite our differences, we are, and always will be, Americans first and foremost," said President Obama.
The White House says the First Family spent Thanksgiving with friends, family, and staff members.

The Word: Does David Arquette have a secret kid?
David Arquette drunk dialed Howard Stern's radio show last night, and wow did he say some stuff. Highlights included backhanded compliments to Hitler.
"Listen, listen, listen — I've gotta say something on the N-word later — but Hitler played the game very well. He did. Listen, yeah, he played his game very well. He convinced a lot of people to play his f–king evil game. He played the game really well, but he was playing the wrong game."
Luckily he didn't manage to make it to whatever he had to say about the N-word, but he did happen to refer to Coco, his daughter with Courteney Cox, as his "first kid."
Wait, does that mean he had other kids? When? David didn't answer when Howard asked him, just "sort of wheezed and mumbled, giving no direct answer," as HowardStern.com puts it.
Arquette seemed dimly aware that things weren't going so hot. "Listen I'm going to be brutally honest with you and if that means tomorrow I have to get sober, I will get sober. I've been going on this whole Mayan thing lately… Are you with me? So, let's play the right game."
Yes, let's. The non-Hitler game. And in Arquette's case, maybe the "just seltzer water for me, thanks" game.

Center for Clergy and Congregational Health & Wholeness
Improving Clergy Health, Step by Step
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Drew Theological School's Center for Clergy and Congregational Health & Wholeness. The Center was created through a generous grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations to address issues of clergy and congregational health and wholeness.
As you may know, since the 1950's clergy health has been on the decline. Studies during that time showed that clergy were among the healthiest and longest lived of all the professions. Later research in the 1980's and 1990's showed that clergy had become among the least healthy of all of the professions. Today's research shows that this trend has continued and even gotten worse.
Rates of heart disease, diabetes, depression and obesity in clergy far exceed those in benchmark populations in several denominations. My own research on these issues over the past six years has led me to conclude that the church of Jesus Christ is confronted not with a denominational problem, but instead with a vocational problem.
There are multiple reasons for the dramatic decline in clergy health. The Center for Clergy and Congregational Health and Wholeness will address these reasons and offer resources to the church to help clergy live healthier lives. This website is a tool available for you to read current research, talk with others in ministry who are endeavoring to live in a more whole and healthy way, and hear about resources to use in your own setting. We will also post announcements of conferences at Drew with links to other organizations working on these issues.
The goal of the Center for Clergy and Congregational Health and Wholeness (CCHW) is to promote a greater understanding of the issues and the impact of poor clergy health on the clergy and their families themselves and on the congregations and other ministry settings they serve. Through this greater understanding we hope to help clergy and laity to commit themselves to developing and/or maintaining health habits in mind, body and spirit. The health of the missioner is dramatically related to the health of the mission.
I welcome your feedback on this site, your questions about our programs and your involvement in Drew's effort to promote greater health in the church of Jesus Christ. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 973-408-3418.
Blessings to you as you continue on the journey to greater and greater health.
Virginia A. Samuel
Associate Dean for Contextual Learning and
Director, Center for Clergy and Congregational Health and Wholeness at Drew Theological School

Get the hard hats ready, it's construction time at the new stadium site!
Lauren Hepler of the Silicon Valley Business Journal reported yesterday that the club will begin work on their new stadium site on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Club president Dave Kaval initially made the announcement at a community dinner on Tuesday and confirmed details with the SVBJ on Wednesday.
The Earthquakes broke ground on their new stadium in Guinness World Record fashion on Oct. 21 with 6,256 shoveling dirt simultaneously for two minutes. The club had always targeted a late February start to construction and remains on target to open the facility at the start of the 2014 season.
Fans will be able to keep tabs on the construction through a web cam courtesy of EarthCam, the same group who worked with the Houston Dynamo on their new stadium. Keep an eye out for more details about the web cam.
Who's ready for a road trip?
The Earthquakes are on their way to their second home aka the Central Coast on Saturday. On tap is a match against the Chicago Fire at UC Santa Barbara's Harder Stadium at 6 p.m. PT (BUY TICKETS).
Now, as a Cal Poly grad I have biased opinions about UC Santa Barbara. That being said, they know how to do soccer on the Central Coast (See: Blue-Green Rivalry and fans storming the field). And, a drive down the 101 to CenCal isn't exactly torture.
If you are planning to make the trip, here's a few tips to keep in mind (and, if you want a more Santa Barbara-slanted perspective, be sure to Tweet @SamGarza17):
Lodging: Travelzoo has this deal available in Los Osos ($159 for one night, dinner and a bottle of wine). Los Osos is west of San Luis Obispo and tacks on an extra 40 minutes of total travel, but you're right on the coast and close to a popular tourist spot, Morro Bay.
Other spots worth considering include: San Luis Obispo (1 hour, 30 minutes from UCSB), Pismo Beach (1 hour, 20 minutes from UCSB) or Solvang (45 minutes from UCSB). If you're thinking about Pismo Beach, also take a look at Avila Beach; it's a hidden gem about 10 minutes north of Pismo.
Food: Two words: tri-tip. The Central Coast does beef and you can be sure if you stop at Firestone's in San Luis Obispo, you'll be back.
San Luis Obispo - Firestone Grill (get the tri-tip sandwich and a side of fries, thank me later), Pizza Solo (the best pie in town and the Solo Stix are on point), Louisa's Place (breakfast spot in Downtown SLO with big portions and plenty to choose from)
Pismo Beach - Splash Cafe (famous for its clam chowder), Del's Italian Restaurant (actually located in Shell Beach, sit-down spot with lasagna that rivals any mom's home cooking), F. McClintock's Saloon & Dining House (steakhouse in Shell Beach with the most talented wait staff in the Golden State)
Solvang - Olsen's Danish Village Bakery & Coffee Shop (pastries galore), Root 246 (pricier joint than the previously listed, but the spread is worth a shout)
Santa Barbara - Cold Spring Tavern (another popular tri-tip spot), Freebird's World Burrito (located close to campus in Goleta, they serve massive burritos)
Sunday Adventures: On your way back to the Bay, make sure to drop by at least one of the aforementioned eateries and check out the outdoor scene. Inspiration Point in Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach, Morro Rock, Hearst Castle, Bishop's Peak in San Luis Obispo - you can pull of the road just about anywhere and find something worth laying eyes on.
It wasn't a dream start for the U.S., but let's slow down on the doomsday scenarios. Life on the road in the Hex ain't easy.
In case you missed the match, here's a snapshot courtesy of US Soccer. Included is that unreal bicycle kick from Juan Carlos Garcia (a play that originated with Earthquakes defender Victor Bernardez).
It's that time again, soccer fans.
By the end of World Cup Qualification, there will undoubtedly be more Americans rocking a Michael Bradley hairdo than ever before - either as an iconic tribute or a sign of the grueling process that is hexagonal play.
It all kicks off in Honduras at Estadio Olimpico today (1 p.m. PT / beIN Sport). Earthquakes fans will recognize one familiar face suiting up: center back Victory Bernardez.
No idea what the hex entails? What should the U.S. expect in San Sula? Need some insight as to why Hondurans love Jonathan Bornstein?
KICKTV has all of that and more in a brilliantly produced match preview. Check it out!
As a March Madness maniac, I was ecstatic when I heard that Gus Johnson aka My Passion Bucket is Full (See: Passion Bucket) was signing on to broadcast a few Earthquakes games over the radio in 2012.
Not to gush, but the guy is a living legend in my circle. If I scored a game-winning three to win an NCAA Championship, I would want Gus on the call. No play-by-play brings more energy to a game. Nobody.
That's why I was thrilled to see Sports Illustrated's report today that Gus is being groomed to be Fox's voice of the World Cup in 2018. Even as a soccer rookie in the booth last season, you could see glimmers of what the guy is capable of.
"Game tied at one ... Chavez, trying to maneuver on the far touchline ... still handling ... left foot ... cross, Lenhart - OH AND HE HEADS IT IN!"
Sign me up for some Gus Johnson in 2018. Rise and fire.
Simon Dawkins has completed a late-night loan move to the end of the season from Tottenham. #AVFC

News --> Simon Dawkins has joined Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season: bit.ly/14AKixq #COYS #THFC
— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) January 31, 2013
It's official: Simon Dawkins will join Aston Villa on loan for the remainder of the English Premier League season.
Obviously, this isn't the news Earthquakes fans wanted to hear. However, this doesn't completely shut the door on a future move. In theory, Dawkins could still make a permanent move stateside after the EPL season ends.
Dawkins scored 14 goals and three in 53 appearances - largely as a left midfielder - for the Earthquakes in two seasons.
There weren't a lot of familiar faces on the field for San Jose's 2-0 win against the Houston Dynamo on Tuesday, but a pair of goals from Alexandre Emerson left fans scramling to track down details about the mystery trialist.
Emerson is actually a San Jose native. He left for Mexico when he was 13, suiting up for Chivas before settling in with Necaxa.
You can check out Emerson's finishes in the highlights above. Other players appearing in the reel include: Adam Jahn (first shot), Evan Newton (first save), Tommy Muller (blocked shot), Matt Fondy (goal called back), Jesus Guzman (second-half goalkeeper) and Jacob Hustedt (drew penalty).
Quakes' President Dave Kaval has been hard at work to build the Quakes' new stadium, set to open across from the San Jose Airport in 2014. San Jose's fearless leader sat down last week to participate in a panel discussion titled, "The ReInvention of the Arena Experience" to discuss how stadiums directly impact the overall fan experience as well as add color to the progress of the Quakes' new stadium.
A full recap of the panel can be viewed in the video below.
The Earthquakes will be well represented in Houston tonight when the U.S. Men's National Team faces a young Canadian squad at BBVA Compass Stadium (6 p.m. PT / ESPN2).
Forward Chris Wondolowski is aiming to make his ninth cap while left back Justin Morrow hopes to earn his first. Not that we're biased over here at sjearthquakes.com, but we've penciled both into our starting XI prediction (see below).
In case you need a bit more backgorund info going into the match, we've got some links for you:

Wondo loves BBVA Compass Stadium
Wondo confident heading into USMNT showdown vs. Canada
Starting XI prediction from PST's Steve Davis
Now, about that un-biased lineup prediction. Here's what I've got (feel free to chime in with your choices):
Chris Wondolowski is hard at work with the U.S. Men's National Team ahead of tomorrow night's 6:00 p.m. PST match against Canada at Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium.
Wondo, the 2012 Volkswagen MLS MVP, is seeking his ninth cap and is eager to impress head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The match may just be a friendly but has implications for Klinsmann's future roster ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifying round starting in February.
Wondo's past three seasons have been nothing short of sensational - 61 goals in 90 MLS Regular Season matches. The predatory finisher is aiming to transfer such a goal-scoring prowess onto the international scene.
The Danville, Calif. native sat down with ussoccer.com to shed light on his past accomplishments while also forecast his hopes for the matches ahead. To watch the interview and catch highlights of Wondo with the U.S. Men's National Team, click here.

This was a very nice place to stay in Homer. You stay in a separate building not attached to the house. It was clean and well kept up, the owner was very friendly on the phone and had everything set up when we arrived. We never met in person and it was hassle free. Do not expect a hot breakfast unless you make it yourself. They give you some milk, and have some hot and cold cereal. All the dishes you would need to cook what every you wanted. If you are going to stay in Homer, stay here.

We stayed the night of August 2nd, 2014 and we would have stayed longer if our schedule had allowed. It was beautiful, clean and spacious. The grounds were lovely and the view was spectacular. My 9 year old was thrilled with the selection of movies in the unit. We were even welcomed with fresh baked bread. This was definitely a rare find and we were so fortunate that it wasn't booked solid! Maria Clement

My son, grandson and I booked a visit to Homer, AK for a fishing trip with the owner of Almost Home (she booked not only the bed and breakfast but also the fishing boats for us). Mrs. Coats runs an outstanding operation. Her facility is exceptionally clean and furnished with all essentials for a pleasant and rewarding stay. I highly recommend Almost Home for your trip of a lifetime to Alaska. Dan Wood

The Sunny Side of Cooking: Solar cooking
and other
What if there was a year-round method of cooking that
was low cost, powered by sunlight, non-polluting, and easy to do even in
college dorms, apartment balconies and off-the-grid locations?
There is: solar cooking.
At the dawn of the 21st century, the need for sustainable cooking solutions is great, including fossil fuel-caused climate change, the end of cheap oil, and deforestation due to firewood collection. Whether you spend a couple of hours building a simple solar cooker out of cardboard and foil, or buy a sturdy commercial model, it is possible to do everything from simmering to blanching, poaching, steaming, sautéing, braising, baking, roasting, toasting, pan frying, grilling, food canning, medical sterilization, and even making ice (at night!).
The Sunny Side of Cooking is a practical, easy-to-follow guide for both beginning and experienced solar cooks. Includes:

Diary of a Slitheryn Girl [4]Warning: Explicit nature
Tuesday 14th September
William was scared. The thought of Avery scurrying to tell someone about our secret terrified him; his whole life was at stake, and he could say farewell to Hogwarts forever if the Professors found out. The school had a no tolerance policy bravado to uphold against the Dark Arts, but I knew what goings-on they had let slide in the recent past, and I'll tell you about them one day. If you're brave enough.
William was also furious with me. He blamed me for forgetting to cast a charm over it, to conceal the ugly truth of what he did. But then again, who would ever believe that a Gryffindor scarred a Slytherin with the dark mark. Not even me. I was completely and utterly screwed, no matter what the truth was. No one would believe the pure blood tales of a Malfoy.
Somehow, possibly with sheer fear, William had managed to convince Avery to keep quiet about the unveiling. I tried not to think about the terror and panic that would surely be tumbling through her mind, but the guilt still latched onto my thoughts at every possible vacant moment. A sweet girl like Avery shouldn't be troubled with such a disturbing secret.
A scuttling scratched the bookcase opposite me, the candle I used for light wavering me into darkness for a moment. I looked about the Library, sure someone was spying on me. My first suspect was Alaric, he'd certainly been known for it, but scouring into the shadows I found only empty space.
In my lap rested the Parseltounge book, scribbled with notes. I had stolen it from Alaric, a difficult task to carry out, too intrigued by the scrawling not to find out more. It had proved worth while, for although I did not know who had wrote them - as if I had any idea how to find out - their writings were most interesting.
For the most part, it was correcting grammar, of which there seemed to be may mistakes that I had not even noticed myself, but then there were other things that confused me. Directions, it seemed, or at least a description of a place, were scattered on different pages. A particular line kept cropping up to do with neither.
The hated with be celebrated.
I closed the book, glancing at the Dark Mark on my arm. I was going to be among the hated now. Avery had not spoken to me since our trip to Hogsmeade, and had avoided me in our History of Magic and Defence Against the Dark Arts classes. Would she understand the purpose behind it, even if the purpose was not mine?
"Calantha?" A voice called behind me. I jumped, not recognising it at first, and then was met by someone familiar; his name was Stewart Remington, and shared a lot of classes with William. Also a Gryffindor prefect, he was a little stuck up, but harmless.
"Yes?" I asked, shoving the book into my bag. Stewart nodded his head toward the door expectantly. "Am I supposed to know what that means?"
"William wants you." He sighed impatiently, tapping his fingers on his arms.
"It's past curfew. He'll have to wait till morning." I retorted with the same impatience, standing up to leave.
"And you're in the Library after hours. He'll expect you to make the same effort to see him." Stewart smirked, "Meet him in the prefects bathroom." He left without another word and I followed soon after, a little relieved that he had not asked to meet in the dorms. It must be about what happened Saturday, perhaps something to do with Avery. I hoped not.
I found it easy to direct myself through the corridors without been seen by the Professors. It was a talent I had discovered in my first year. I was at the prefects bathroom within ten minutes, and hesitantly walked inside.
The room was lit with candles, mottled flames of gold and red glimmered across the marble tiles, cascading across the bath that frothed with silver bubbles. I stood, numbed, in the doorway. A gentle hand pulled me inside and closed the door behind me.
"Hello sweetheart." William smiled, kissing me lightly on the forehead. He was in his boxers, something I hadn't seen before, and was glad that he pulled me into his chest as not to see me blush. He was toned, more than I thought, almost a man's body, and I melted into him.
"Wow," was all I could manage to murmur.
He tipped my chin up, gripped my jaw and kissed me hard, pushing his tongue into my mouth. I tried to remember that I hated him, but his lips turned my brain mush. I was rendered completely defenceless. William slipped his hands inside my cloak and brushed it from my shoulders; it fell with a soft thud on the floor, but loud enough for me to realise what was happening.
"What are you doing?" I asked, stepping away. He caught my hand on his chest and I forced myself not to crumble this time. It was only a body. William's soul was disgusting. Strange how so much could shame in such sort time.
"What do you think?" He laughed, grabbing my hips. "Hey, don't forget what you promised me."
"I don't think this is a good time."
"We need this. After Saturday…" He tried to kiss me, loosing his words.
"I said no, William." I snapped, bending down to pick up my cloak. "I don't want to."
William lost it. As I turned back to face him, his fist came smashing into my cheek. I didn't scream. Too shocked and yet it was exactly what I had always expected. He grabbed my hair, his blue eyes like sea fire, and dragged me to his face.
"Do you want me to remove it?" He barked, snatching my wrist and holding it up to the light. "Or do you want it on there forever? Well…do you?"
"No." I spat quietly through gritted teeth. His face softened, the fire calming; his iron claw trickled to gentle fingers that ran through my hair and he rubbed my check, looking on me with pitiful eyes.
"I do this because I love you, and sometimes you don't know always know what is best for you, or best for us." He kissed my forehead again, curling his fingers on my shoulders. "I'm going to do great things, and you'll be by my side when I do them."
I clenched my jaw. "What about this, is this one of your great things."
William looked at the mark. "I'm sorry, I know you didn't want it, but it was something I had to do. It's going to work, and when it does, you'll be glad you were a part of it."
I said nothing in return. He bit his lip, expression thoughtful. I tried not to cry but the pain was still burning in my face. Hot, lifeless tears rolled from eyes. William looked at them once, but his composure gave nothing away.
He started to unbutton my shirt. I went numb as it fell from my body, the faint thumps of my clothes just audibly, until I was left standing naked in front of him. He took off his final garment then pulled me into the bath. I saw nothing, because I purposely tried not to look.
The water was hot and soapy, and we slipped alongside one another. His skin felt odd against mine, slick and warm, so alive. He caged me in his arms on the side, static hopelessness spiking me senseless. It was too late. His beautiful face was inches from mine, chest to chest, his muscular tanned body pressing into me. The soft edges of his lips pouting, lining across my bruising cheek. His black hair had dampened with the steam, curling slightly.
His weight pushed me down, my hair devoured by the foam and water. William opened my legs with his and I could feel his change stiffen on my thigh; he looked me in the eyes one last time, then lowered his head to kiss my neck. I had nothing to compare with, but it felt like something I couldn't handle. I braced my body, tightened by mistake and stifled a cry as he pushed himself into me.
It hurt. I wanted to shove him off, tell him it was wrong, but William could sense it before I had time to act and clamped onto me, thrusting harder. Hee grunted my name a few times, tried to soothe me, all the while becoming rougher, going deeper.
I clasped my fingers into his back, digging into his flesh. It only spurred him on more, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. Eventually, I think it became less painful, maybe I even found my way into his cruel rhythm, but I'd drifted into another world. I wasn't really there anymore. I was nothing.

The Cheddar & the Ivy
An interesting piece on whether more morality develops with age (like aged cheddar cheese) or requires a great deal of nurturing and guidance from a very young age as does the English variety of ivy. This article raises the question of whether or not someone who was not been brought up in a positive moral situation can strive for and obtain a sense of morality. I believe the answer is yes. How often as human beings do we want what we don't have. How about...most of the time! So someone who grew up in a bad moral situation who comes to a realization that it was bad may actually come to a stronger sense of morality than anyone may expect. Likewise, those who have always had something tend to take it for granted, so perhaps that is the reason that those who were brought up with morals and values may eventually turn away from it...because they are curious what its like without it. So the problem really comes down to one of understanding why the morals and values are needed. Once this happens the rest plays itself out.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station at Wilton Library

Educator Licensure
Graduate-Level Coursework
Another option for moving from Initial to Standard certification is to acquire 12 semester hours of graduate-level coursework towards an advanced degree from an accredited institution of higher education in an education-related field.
The number of semester hours required may be prorated. The semester hours are prorated based on the number of years of teaching time remaining on the Initial certificate as of July 1, 2003. For example, a teacher issued an Initial Certificate in 2000 but who never taught would be required to meet the full 12-semester-hour requirement. A teacher who had already taught two years would need only six.
The CPDU requirement for out-of-state teachers with less than four years of teaching experience on comparable certificates is prorated based on the number of years left to teach in Illinois.
|Years of teaching experience needed
Hours Required
|Up to 1 year
|More than 1 and up to 2 years
|More than 2 and up to 3 years
|More than 3 and up to four
Evidence of Completion Required
Documentation provided by a regionally accredited institution of higher education indicating the individual's admission to the degree program and an official transcript showing that no fewer than 12 semester hours of graduate credit (or less, if eligible for proration) were earned toward that degree while the individual held the Initial certificate.

Stockholm Furniture Fair Pavilion by Gert Wingårdh & Kustaa Saksi
The design suggests a church interior, with rows of high tables in front of an 'altar' where panels hold sway. The table tops are made of a mirror laminate and balance on stacks of A3 paper sheets – 700,000 in total. The entire dome-like structure consists of stacks of paper sheets that hang from the roof in a Venetian blind-like construction. The lowest sheet in each stack carries part of a gigantic illustration that forms the dome-shaped ceiling. Preparations for construction have been going on for months and the actual raising of the dome is something of a never-ending task. "Precision in all the preliminary work is crucial. and are then gradually hoisted up," reports Sanna Gebeyehu.

Can a guy make a great husband but a lousy father? After all, there's not much of a way to tell if a man will make a great dad, unless he already has kids when you meet. Otherwise, you go by how he acts with you. What kind of a boyfriend he is. What kind of a husband. Maybe you get a feeling based on how he acts with his nephews, or random kids in the park. Maybe he's a great furdad, or he always waters his plants. So from there you make the leap -- he'll make a great dad too! So you go ahead and have kids. And then you suddenly realize, wait a second, he actually kind of sucks at this. That's the dilemma this mom of three has.
The mom wrote on Reddit about her husband who is "a good husband and a great provider for his family." She says he is "awesome" and adds:
He talks to me about these wonderful and interesting things that keep us talking to each other for hours. I love this man and I am happy I married him.
Unfortunately, his awesomeness doesn't translate into his parenting skills. He does nothing with the kids, leaving the mom to do "EVERYTHING" (her caps) for them. He's sarcastic with them, but they don't understand sarcasm and just think he's being mean. Examples: "Honey, can you make lunch for the kids?" Him: "F**k them." Child: "Dad can I ... (cant even finish sentence)?" "No. Nothing you have to do is important."
She adds:
Don't get me wrong, I know my husband loves his children and will gladly take a bullet for them but sometimes I don't know if his love is unconditional. He has VERY high expectations of them. I often remind him that they aren't born with knowing how to express their emotions without crying. Or knowing that things are dangerous. Its our jobs as parents to teach them. He yells at them (like getting up in their face yelling) when all he has to do is explain so they can understand. They do not know how to react around him. I am afraid to say that they might fear him. Actually, I know they do. Which is why they don't like being around him.
Yikes! Lots of people responded, telling the mom that when her kids grow up, they will probably have as little to do with their father as possible. The amount of comments from readers saying this behavior was just like their father or mother, and the repercussions that's had, is heartbreaking.
This mom needs to get therapy for her and her husband. The good news is that since he seems to be genuinely in love with her, he'll probably agree to it. It sounds like he loves the kids (at least she seems to think so), but he just doesn't know how to show it. He probably grew up in a family where sarcasm and unrealistic expectations were the norm. This sounds like learned behavior, and that is something that can only be changed with a lot of work.
Maybe it would help if the children actually told the father how hurt they feel with his comments and attitude. He probably has no idea of the impact his words are having.
The wife should look at her husband's relationship with his parents, especially his father, as that should give her some clues as to where he learned this behavior. Ask her husband how he felt growing up with a dad like that.
The kids aren't going to just hold this behavior against their dad. They're going to hold it against their mom too -- for allowing it.
Do you have any advice for this mom?

If my husband ever talked to our son that way or treated him that way he would be picking himself up off the curb. I don't care how good of a husband you are, you suck if you treat your kids like that.
Divorce. That's abuse.
I would be curious to know if he ever wanted kids in the first place, or if they even discussed it before they got married. Was it one of those deals where he didn't want kids, but she convinced him he'd feel different once they had them?

This is just another Pressed powder that is too whitish and must be blended very, very well. The sales aassistant applied this powder for me (at Sephora) and when I went home, my face was looking little bit white and cakey. Not the best I have seen.
This powder was great. I have oily skin and have redness to cover and this product worked great for me. I don't find that it was a miracle worker in terms of my redness, but it did ever so slightly have an effect in toning it down. It was also not a miracle worker in completely stopping oil from breaking through but worked a lot better than many products that I've tried. I would still get oily but not as oily, and that was a great accomplishment. I put a thin layer on my face after foundation and actually looked very natural and didn't cling to any dry spots or settle into pores. I didn't have any problems with looking "green" or chalky. The packaging was great, sleek and sturdy. I may repurchase down the line because I did like it a lot, but I am still on the hunt to see if anything else works better for me.
Love this. Was using MAC blotting powder but it felt a bit grainy.
Don't be put off by the white colour, but i would advise to dust your face and blend with large brush after 'setting'
I use LM tinted moisturiser or similar and then 'press' this powder all over my face with the sponge. The white will be very noticeable sitting on top of your skin so take a large soft natural brush (i like MAC bronzer one) and swirl it round, dusting off excess and very lightly blending into foundation. I will then blot gently again if i need to with sponge during the day if oil starts to appear, and it doesn't upset the finish too much.
The result is a perfect matt finish without the cakey or pigmented or aged look i get if i use a normal powder.
You also dont have to fret over colour matching and oxidising.
Pricey but imo worth it.

My friend had bought this powder for her wedding, and let the bridesmaids use it. You know how it goes - you wake up at an ungodly hour to get your makeup and hair done, and are supposed to look great until midnight...right....
I've only heard and seen and been recommended to use setting powder, but I did not really think it could be that much more different than my mineral powder that I use to dust sparingly after I apply my foundation.
To my surprise, the ingredients for this powder really does "set" your face for quite some time. Mind you, during the wedding, I reapplied about 3 times. However, I use it on an almost daily basis now, especially when I know I will be putting in long hours at work.
- It keeps my oil production at bay (though I am normal skin, I do not have oily skin)
- Only a very small amount needs to be used
- After a minute after application, my face "looks" flawless - it is matte, and seems to minimize the appearance of pores
- The pressed powder form makes it easy to use while on-the-go
- The price is a little more expensive than some other setting powders out there
- By the 3rd application, my skin is dry and doesn't give me that beautiful, matte appearance. Understand that it is a great product, but it won't set your makeup forever!
- I still apply my foundation and mineral powder before I apply this
- I bring with me a small retractable brush and instead of sweeping, I pat/blot my face with the brush - I believe this ensures that the skin is absorbing it
- Use a small amount or you might look chalky

Not for someone who has acne prone skin. The first ingredient listed in this powder is Ethylhexyl Palmitate. This rates a 4 (5 being the highest on the pore clogging scale).
As soon as I stopped using this along with LM oil-free tinted moisturizer, LM oil-free primer and LM Loose Setting Powder (which all contain Ethylhexyl Palmitate), my face cleared up. I just tossed all of her stuff away.
If I didn't have oily and acne prone skin, this would probably okay. But I do so...no. Definitely dislike.

I was super excited to try this powder as my skin can look like a greasy frying pan without the correct powder over my foundation. the girl at the counter suggested this , I was curious but a bit scared as I like full coverage and this just isn't at all. although I didn't experience any shine all day which is great it made my foundation crack up and break up on my face, leaving my foundation colour blotchy with white patches. I really didn't enjoy this product and for the price tag no no no it's not good at all. I feel that you get a really small amount of product that's not great. I'm not liking the packaging of LM maybe it's just me being fussy!
More reviews by Hermanspottypants
The only purpose to use this is for the absorption of facial shine. So be patient and don't use it until you have a bit of shine.
Do not waste it to 'set your makeup'.
Ignore the fact its green. I got the green version. The green does nothing - oh its just like all of the other greeny products I've been tricked into buying....
Over the last 15 years I have used a multitude of oil blotting products from decleor, clinique, clarins, body shop, mac and benefit.
My shine has diminished as I have aged, but I would still need a touch up usually every 3 hours at work (unless Im using Nars sheer matte foundation).
To cut to the chase, this is quick and easy to apply- I like the nice little case with its mirror. If you have a shine problem on my level, it soaks up the oil immediately like magic and doesn't leave my skin feeling slimey/dry/heavy. I find that after I have used it I wouldn't need to reapply for at least 4 hours.
If you put this on a low/no oil patch of skin then yes it can make you look dusty- like you were in the kitchen baking dusty. And if you put this for no sensible reason on a dry patch of skin yes you will look like a baker.
As Ive said this product is primo for sucking up shiney oil. If there is no oil it will sit there because its got no job to do.
Bottom line: the sponge is thin and soft so only dab it on your oily spots!!
You need to wash your little sponge now and then ( I use Bobbi Browns cleanser).
This is the best oil absorbing product I have come across. Its a bonus to have it in functional portable packaging.
Laura you redeemed yourself with this product. You needed to because your tinted moisturiser was just naff.

I got this a couple of weeks ago when I was intent to just do "concealer" and "powder", as my skin is getting fairly clear.
I haven't used it for a while but returned to it for the last few days. It caused me immediate mild breakouts, where I was getting small white block pores in areas where I don't normally/ever break out. On the second day it started to really irritate my skin. It did however keep the shine at bay, so if your skin can tolerate it great!
I read on another site that one of its ingredients is comedogenic; Ethelhexyl palmitate?
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is THE BEST powder for oil and shine touch-ups during the day. I really like the MUFE translucent powder as well, but sometimes, all you have is 3 seconds to touch up your face and carrying translucent powder around is not the most practical strategy. Don't let the green color throw you off; however, don't use too much of it because it WILL look unnatural. The powder absorbs any oil immediately and gives you face a matte finish. I sometimes use it to set my foundation. My skin is not really that oily, but I find that this prevents any shine throughout the day. Simply amazing product. Can't live without it.
The only setting powder that does that it's supposed to! Well, it's the only one i've used that sets your foundation and keeps you matte for more than a couple hours. It's pretty hefty of a price, but you pay for what you get. I got this upon recommendation from a friend who cheers all day, sometimes for three games. That sold it for me, when you can sweat all day and still swear by a product. (: The sponge is great, it has two sides, one for blotting and the other side a bit denser for if you really want to splatter the powder all over. I have oily skin, and i usually set this after foundation in the morning, sometimes again later in the day. It doesn't make me look cakey, it's fine powder. The green color does look weird at first, and it doesn't really correct any redness, the powder just goes on translucent. The compact is very sleek. No regrets!

In your reading you probably learned that, when Angels spawn, you can see a tube about the shape of a dull pencil lead that protrudes slightly from the female Angel. The tube that protrudes from the male Angel is smaller in
diameter, and it's quite easy to tell the male from the female with this method, when they spawn.
But it's not easy to tell males from females, except when a male and female are spawning. In fact it takes a couple of years of watching Angels breed. Our late friend Richard Buttner spawned Angels for many years and said,
"I can look at young Angels and usually tell which ones will be males and which ones will be females, but I can't explain how I do it, and it doesn't matter anyway, because they will sort it all out among themselves."
One small problem with this method is that sometimes two female Angels spawn without a male. The tubes on these females are about the same size, and you can't use this method to tell the male from the female, because there
is no male.
From a group of 10 Angels, we usually got three or even four pairs. But if you try to purchase a pair of mature Angels, often the pair bond will be lost when you move them. So we recommend that you get small Angels about
3" tall. Raise them up together and allow them to choose their own mates.

Evansdale police chief Kent Smock is throwing cold water on rumors of an arrest in the missing girls case.
Chief Smock told KWWL sex offender teams from the state Division of Criminal Investigation are helping interview people of interest, but he says no one has been detained and those interviewed are not any closer to being suspects than anyone else.
On the other hand, he says no one's been cleared of suspicion, either.
Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins were last seen Friday, July 13.

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - The 2014 John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon has been cancelled. Race Director Pat Olson says weather related cancellations and postponements over the last several years has hurt race participation and funding. Olson is hoping to use next year as a time for fundraising to allow for the sled dog race from Duluth up the north shore and back again to return in 2015. It takes about 50 thousand dollars a year to run the marathon and mid distance race.
