The GLPaint sample application demonstrates how to support single finger painting using OpenGL ES. This sample also shows how to detect a "shake" motion of the device. By looking at the code you'll see how to set up an OpenGL ES view and use it for rendering painting strokes. The application creates a brush texture from an image by first drawing the image into a Core Graphics bitmap context. It then uses the bitmap data for the texture.

A 20" skirt is used when the mattress is at its highest setting and the child is newborn. As the child grows and you start to lower the mattress, the 20" skirt becomes too long and the 14" skirt is used. Some choose to purchase both the 20" and 14" skirt, but others decide to purchase only the 14" skirt and deal with a little shortness in the beginning.

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, November 26th, 2009 at 4:25 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Dal_Roy Williams 6-yard pass from Tony Romo (Nick Folk kicks PAT), 13:12
– Raiders drive into Dallas territory, Darrius Heyward-Bey catches 17-yard pass, Gradkowski 17 yards to Schilens. Getting some cosmetic stats late. Drive dies at 20 when Gradkowski throws incomplete.
Raiders call last time out with 1:44 to play before Cowboys begin to kill clock. Barber first down will allow Cowboys to kneel on ball for the win.
– Third down, Marion Barber for 32 yards and a first down. Dallas has 384 yards on its 10 biggest plays.
– Gradkowski sacked by Anthony Spencer, Raiders can't manage a first down, punt it back to Dallas wtih 8:12 left.
– Dallas penalizes itself into third-and-23, Romo throws short to Witten, Dallas punts at 10 minute mark.
– Down 24-7, with 13:12 left, Raiders need an answer _ and it needs to come quicker than an 11-play drive. Instead, they go three-and-out with 11:46 to play
– First play of fourth quarter _ Romo to Witten for 44 yards to the 8-yard line. Two snaps later, Romo finds Williams for six yards and a score as Chris Johnson looks immediately at Tyvon Branch as Raiders assess a blown coverage.

Rock Revival Jacklyn Boot Stretch Jean 2 2
FIT!! I bought these jeans in my normal size they did fit a little tighter then most RR but I figured they would stretch out a bit and they did the first time i wore them and now that I dried them they fit tighter thru the legs. I do love these jeans and the stitching is neat just wish I would have gone up a size in them!! March 7, 2013
New Favorite Bootcut! I don't know whether Rocks are getting slimmer through the knee, or if my knees are getting fatter, but I went up a size in these bad boys so my legs could breath. Which doesn't bother me - so long as they look good, I'm not worried what size they are! These are probably my new favorite pair of bootcut rocks. I like the metalic stitch in the back pocket, as well as the inverted stitching on the sides of the jean. Super comfortable after they stretch. Love the length :) January 18, 2013

High court affirms sentence in Bethel deathBy WILSON RING
THE Associated Press | June 22,2013MONTPELIER Vermonts highest court affirmed a minimum 14-year prison sentence Friday for a man convicted in the 2004 death of his ex-wife, rejecting his claims that he should have been allowed to testify about her propensity for violence.
In its decision, the Vermont Supreme Court affirmed a lower courts sentence of William Al Kimmick and said that court had heard sufficient details about how Kathryn Kimmick was prone to alcohol-fueled violent outbursts.
The lower court expressly recognized that petitioner had committed the offense while the victim was drunk and armed with a knife, and that theirs had been a particularly volatile relationship, the Supreme Court wrote.
But the lower court rejected that was reason enough for a lighter sentence and criticized Kimmick for appearing to blame the victim, the ruling said.
The Supreme Court ruling came as part of a response to a petition that Kimmick, now 44, had filed. He had argued that his attorney provided ineffective legal advice because the attorney would not allow Kimmick to testify about his wifes behavior.
The body of Kathryn Kimmick, 41, was found frozen in a car outside her Bethel apartment on Jan. 23, 2004. It was estimated she had died three days before. An autopsy found she died of a blow, or blows, to the head. William Kimmick has said she attacked him with a knife beforehand.
William Kimmick fled to Taiwan after her death, but he surrendered to authorities there after his passport was revoked and returned to the United States.
Kimmick was charged with second-degree murder, but in the fall of 2004 he agreed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter.
In 2007, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction.
The next year, acting as his own lawyer, Kimmick filed the petition, arguing his attorney threatened to withdraw from the case if Kimmick testified about his late ex-wifes history of violence.
Kimmick is being held at the Northern State Correctional Facility in Newport. He is scheduled for release in 2018.MORE IN This Just InTOMORROW'S HEADLINES TODAY: Two fires, one in West Rutland and the other in Middletown Springs, keep firefighters busy, sports and update on robbery at Jenny Wren's in Springfield. 0News Editor Alan Keays, staff writer Darren Marcy and Sports Editor Bob Fredette discuss some of...

In Photos: Misunderstood Cats?
The Misunderstood Cat
The first known Savannah cat was born April 7, 1986 when a female domestic cat gave birth to a kitten sired by an African Serval, according to the International Cat Association (TICA). It is described as a tall, lean, graceful cat with "striking dark spots and other bold markings."

The Misunderstood Cat
The first known Savannah cat was born April 7, 1986 when a female domestic cat gave birth to a kitten sired by an African Serval, according to the International Cat Association (TICA). It is described as a tall, lean, graceful cat with "striking dark spots and other bold markings."
Helmi Flick for A1Savannahs
The Misunderstood Cat
Breeders describe the Savannah cat as a domestic breed which closely resembles its ancestral source, the African Serval, but is smaller in stature. It's described as affectionate and outgoing, with a long neck, legs, and tall ears, and a medium length tail.
Dianna Starr
The Misunderstood Serval or Savannah Cat
TICA accepted the Savannah as a registered breed in 2001. The Savannah was accepted for Championship status by TICA in 2012. According to Brigitte Cowell, breed chair for the Savannah breed and member of the International Cat Association, a common myth is that Savannahs are huge cats.
Donna Lawver
The Misunderstood Cat
Savannah cat, Karamu, is shown with pet beagle, Coop. Both belong to Brigitte Cowell. Most Savannahs are proportionally taller than the average domestic cat but usually weigh about the same, Cowell said.
Brigitte Cowell
The Misunderstood Serval or Savannah Cat
Cowell says she got Coop the beagle as a puppy at the same time as the family's first Savannah kitten. "I believe he sees the cats as his "pack"... and Karamu has always adored him," she said.
Brigitte Cowell
Misunderstood Cats
Pictured are: Kirembo Babbage (F5 SBT Savannah, spotted), Plaidplus George Gordon of Kirembo ( British Shorthair), Kirembo Barack (black F5C Savannah), and Kirembo Akoko Yewande (spotted F4B Savannah).
Tetsu Yamazaki
The Misunderstood Serval or Savannah Cat
Breeders object to the notion that Savannahs or Servals are aggressive, wild cat breeds. Collette said servals often weigh 25 to 40 lbs. and prey on rodents, frogs and large insects. "It eats mice like any domestic cat would if surviving outdoors," Brigitte Cowell said.
Brigitte Cowell
The Misunderstood Serval or Savannah Cat
Kirembo Akoko Yewande, known as Coco, is shown with Plaidplus George Gordon of Kirembo, known as Georgie, a British shorthair cat. Cowell said Georgie is one of the heaviest cats in her house, even if the Savannahs are often taller than him. Cowell said all her Savannahs adore "Uncle Georgie". "They are very different cat breeds but are very compatible," she said.
Brigitte Cowell
The Misunderstood Serval or Savannah Cat
Cowell's Savannah cat, Kirembo Zarina Isoke, or Zari, is shown napping with British shorthair Georgie. "Zari is just a year old now and she's always adored Georgie. She's never happier than when snuggling with him," Cowell said.
Brigitte Cowell
The Misunderstood Serval or Savannah Cat
Cowell's husband, Jean-Noel Moyne, holds Kiki the Savannah, "a very normal-sized F3B female Savannah," according to Cowell, who says males can get a lot larger than their female littermates. Kiki is shown around 2 years old, weighing about 9 to 10 lbs.
Brigitte Cowell
The Misunderstood Cat
"The breed name, Chausie (pronounced chow-see), is actually derived from the Latin name for the Jungle Cat, felis chaus," according to the International Cat Association's description of the breed. "The Jungle Cat is a distinct species of cat that dwells from the Nile Valley to the Caspian Sea. The Jungle Cat also is normally found in South Asia as far Vietnam."
Lonnie Creighten
The Misunderstood Cat
Pictured is Gaara, a neutered Chausie. The Chausie is described as a long legged, tall, statuesque cat that it is built for running and jumping," according to TICA. "Like the Jungle Cat, the Chausie has a body type like that of an Olympic athlete."
Lonnie Creighten
The Misunderstood Cat
Sekhmet, pictured, lives in Germany and is a spayed fourth-generation Chausie. The breed has "a deep chest which enables them to breathe deeply so they seem to have a limitless source of energy. Like the Jungle Cat, Chausies have large, upright, preferably tufted ears" according to TICA.
Michaela Forester
The Misunderstood Cat
This six-week old Bengal kitten weighs 1.5 lbs. and is 10 generations from the non-domestic source cat. "Originally developed from crosses between the domestic cats and the Asian Leopard Cat, the Bengal is the only domestic cat that can have rosettes like the markings on Leopards, Jaguars and Ocelots," the International Cat Association says.
Libbie Kerr
The Misunderstood Cat
Domestic Bengal cats today come "only from breeding Bengals to other Bengals and requires no specialized care," TICA states. "Since their beginnings in 1986, the Bengal's regal beauty and alluring charm have quickly made it one of the most popular breeds."

Laser allergy treatment isn't exactly mainstream, but like so many people with bad allergies, Marcus Smith was ready to try almost anything to ease his suffering.
"I would go weeks at a time when I literally couldn't breathe," said Smith. He was taking over-the-counter allergy medications and prescription medications.
Smith got shots as a child. Before doing that again, he decided to investigate an alternative without needles.
"I do a non-stick method of diagnosing it through a cuff with a thousand irritants at a time," says Chiropractor Dr. Steven Angle.
According to Angle, the LZR 7 laser allergy treatment works on the premise that every irritant has a frequency. He says the system scans the body for those frequencies and ranks them by intensity.
Digital screening showed Marcus Smith was severely allergic to ragweed - something he knew from traditional testing.
Once the LZR 7 pinpoints which frequencies or allergens are triggering a reaction, Dr. Angle says it generates specific counter frequencies to treat it.
Similar to acupuncture, a poster of an ear shows how reflex points correspond to specific allergies.
Laser allergy treatment targets reflex points in the ear and other areas on the body.
Smith says, "The symptoms were reduced so much that it really wasn't bothering me. And for the first time in my life, I was actually feeling some relief."
For patients who need treatment outside the office, Angle says the LZR 7 can program its therapeutic frequencies into beads that are placed on reflex points. The same thing can be done with a wristband.
Dr. Angle says he understands people's skepticism; he says he'd feel the same way if he hadn't witnessed the results first-hand.

Apple Chairman Art Levinson Speaks About Life Without Steve Jobs
Apple Chairman and longtime board member Art Levinson spoke Tuesday afternoon at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, including participating in a Q&A with Stanford students. Fortune published selected portions of the talk.
Levinson has been on the board for thirteen years and has seen Apple through the launch of the iPod, the switch to Intel, the launch of the iPhone and then the iPad. In November 2011, he was named Chairman of the Board. He also serves as chairman of Genentech, where he was CEO from 1995 through 2009. As of the beginning of February, he and his wife owned 164,199 shares of Apple stock, worth some $74 million.

The thing that I caught about this article was that it talks about missing Steve Jobs and then ultimately talking about "hiring and firing the CEO". Those two things together make it sound like Levinson is not happy with Cook. Still, one has to wonder which thing that Levinson would want Cook to do differently if that were the case.
There is not a single company besides Apple with a track record of overturning an industry every three years with a breakthrough product. So who would possibly be a better CEO? I'm likely reading too much into his statement though.

I give Cook 2 more years as CEO. If he doesn't come up with anything 'great' during that time, he'll be out the door sadly. Whoever replaces him will just make it worse I'm sure.

|Feb 20, 2013, 11:18 AM
I miss him most on product launches. It sounds really silly but often times I'll look up product launches just to see the joy the finished product brought him and how he made me believe it was the "best thing Apple has done yet".
I also listen to his Stanford Commencement speech when I need a swift kick in the ass to get motivated.

"He was a one of a kind guy... The Steve Jobs that was in the public eye was not, for the most part, the Steve Jobs that I knew."
Shocking - you mean the guy we saw at product launches and in the media was not the Steve Jobs at work/on a personal level. I am shocked I tellz ya. That never happens with public figures...
|Feb 20, 2013, 11:27 AM
The only way I miss the bloke is that all the product launches and keynotes are now incredibly boring! I think he was a very selfish man but damn he was a fine salesman. That reality distortion field was all him baby! Because for that hour you were more then happy to watch him launch something that already existed.
I can't remember the last launch video I watched now, Cook is boring and the other chap who's name I can't remember always sounds nervous.

The fact is, the biggest job of a board is just that, the hiring and firing of a CEO. That task stays the same if the CEO is great and if the CEO is a failure. They still have the responsibility to hire and fire the CEO.

1. to gain dividend income
2. to take over a company
3. we buy shares today to sell them to someone else in the future at a profit.
No.3 is the most common. Essentially traders look at a company and establish a P/E ratio and better yet a PEG ratio. These essentially are two competing forms of the earnings multiple. In other words, what the stock price should be considering the future earnings of a company.
If a company says that the next quarter looks like we'll make less than this current quarter, then the future value of the company is less than what it is today. Therefore is not going up in value, it is gown down. And if it is going down in value it is violating the 3rd reason to own it, which is to sell it later for a higher price than I paid for it.
Apple could making a trillion dollars on phones, and it would not matter in the slightest if the trend is downward for the future. Then stock traders would know that the future value is less than the current value and therefore not attractive to buy and sell.
We don't buy stock to simply own a part of a company for the sake of owning it. We have to make money owning it. And until recently Apple didn't even offer a dividend. So that historically never played a roll in owning the stock. And since no one is going to attempt to take Apple over, that rules out #2.
So in the next earnings report, all of you can put what I am saying to the test. If Apple's earnings are record breaking again, but they report that the future will be less than what it was currently, the stock will drop.
Now Apple gets 85% of it's income from iOS in some way. The Mac accounts for less than 15% of their revenue. The more Android gains in market share the more investors worry about Apple. They want to see a whole new market created for something. I personally believe the PC will continue to drop and tablets will continue to rise. So Apple has a bright future ahead. BUT, who's to say the Surface doesn't gain ground and become the defacto new standard, thus shutting out Apple? Who's to say the Samsung Galaxy S IV doesn't over take the iPhone? Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. The point is, there is credible competition out there and so Apple's future is not assured. There is credible risk.

Apple has so many cash in hand, why it still need those shareholders? low price stock is all things good to apple, it can buy back those shares with a low cost.

You may be right about the statement being taken out of context for page-views. I was just observing that the two things in the same sentence are likely to get misconstrued because they do suggest certain things about Levinson's opinion on Cook.

As a shareholder I look at the fact that Apple is projected to have 71% EPS growth in the next 3 to 5 years. So even if they missed that by a whole lot and on average experienced a 25% decline over the next decade from last year's earnings, the company would still earn $30B per year (on average) in profit. That is enough money to take the current cash-on-hand (over $130B) plus $300B in earnings to buy-back the company at the current market cap.
Doing that basic math would indicate that the market cap needs to increase and therefore the stock price needs to increase (assuming the number of shares is relatively constant).
For perspective, AMZN could double their profits of the last decade in the next decade (e.g.: 100% growth even though a 4% decrease is projected for the next 3 to 5 years) and AMZN would only earn $10B in that 10-year period. Considering that Apple could acquire all of Amazon for $120B they would actually make money on their cash if they invested it in mutual funds. An 8% return over a ten year period is pretty poor. Mind you that 8% is only if Amazon outlandishly doubled their profitability which is extremely unlikely.
This chart really puts it in perspective (click here for full-sized version).

For the moment, I don't think the death of Steve Jobs has had an enormous impact on Apple. He no longer was the CEO and Tim Cook had been leading the company for a long time. Steve Jobs has had a hand in the future product line for years after 2011.
However his personality is irreplaceable and although he has appointed many competent people throughout the years, my fear is that Apple will lose parts of what has made it unique in the past. We have already lost the most charismatic 'stage performing' CEO I know of.
And one should remember that the Apple Computer, Inc that was a relatively small, rebellious computer company in the early 2000s has disappeared a long time ago, even before the death of Jobs. So in that way I do particularly fear for Apple's future as a sympathetic company.

23500 NE Sandy Blvd, Wood Village, OR | Directions 9706045.541328 -122.420864
I went to this tire shop to have my tires checked for balance. I bought this set at another Wal-Mart recently and after some break-in mileage they weren't smooth. Customer service was fine, attention to work's details was lacking.
The first problem quickly became apparent when the tech lifted the van on a short-car lift with blocks positioned under the body's weld seams, not under the factory lifting flats. I'm surprised it did not buckle the floor because unibodies aren't meant to be lifted that way. Stay away from this shop just for this reason.
Problem #2: he could not figure out how to undo the hub cap. On Chrysler styled steel rims the hubcaps are bolted from the inside.
So he pried around and of course damaged the outer edge in 3 places. It is not obviously ugly but of course will need to be replaced.
Did not ask me (the owner), eventhough I was hanging out in the parking lot.
He asked a colleague and after finding out about the bolts was like "I've never seen anything like this" No experience? definitely. No discovery skills either I guess.
Shame, because this tire shop was excellent in 2001, as was the SE Portland location. As I have written elsewhere, seems like in the last ~5 years they let go all the experienced personnel and hired random youngsters without any engineering aptitude. Try your local tire shop instead that has a scruffy-looking mechanic on duty, it's probably better. I have, before this set and eventhough the tires were cheap, the workmanship was far better.
Maybe I came in on a wrong day, though buyer beware. No more wal-mart 4 me.
The familiar smiley face representing the world's largest retailer stands for dependably low prices and customer service. – In Short
What started as Sam Walton's vision in 1962 now accounts for more than $200 billion in annual sales. The well-respected discount store emphasizes value, customer care and variety. In addition to a full line of groceries, 36 retail departments offer everything from shoes to DVD players, including apparel, health and beauty products, electronics, toys, fabrics, craft supplies, jewelry and outdoor equipment. Wal-Mart Connect Internet service is also available, along with a wide range of computer equipment.
WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE OVER THE PHONE! – I have been trying to locate the Nintendo Wii and the couple times that I was tranferred to the electronics dept....the sales people were VERY RUDE AND SHORT ON THE PHONE. I was calling around to save me time from driving around. I can understand the stress because of the holidays coming soon. What happen to customer service!! I would not recommend this place unless you want to go to a zoo!

It will not come as a surprise to hear that the front page of The Sun bears a gigantic image of a half-naked woman. She pouts towards the viewer, with one hand playing with her streams of blonde hair and the other toying with the string of fabric that sits between her ample breasts. Something distinguishes this particular bombshell. She is dead.
In an unsurprising yet nonetheless gruesome move the U.K's bestselling newspaper has decided to illustrate its coverage of the slaying of Reeva Steenkamp at the hands of her boyfriend, Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, with a huge photo of the woman in a bikini. I was already growing tired of articles that simply referred to her as "his model girlfriend". True, the status of the killer is the reason for the death to be newsworthy but you'd think the victim deserved to be named. These dubious moral standards, though, seem almost saintly in comparison with The Sun's leering, near-necrophiliac exploitation of her body.
This depraved opportunism sits within a long tradition of Sun front pages. The most notorious are, of course, the sneer of "GOTCHA" with which it announced the sinking of the Belgrano and the deaths of hundreds of young Argentines, and the headline of "THE TRUTH" beneath which it announced a pack of lies about Hillsborough. Last year's entry into its abhorrent annals was a gigantic photo of the mutilated corpse of Gaddafi, above which a headline roared "THAT'S FOR LOCKERBIE". Grotesque as it is to be so celebratory over anyone's mutilated carcass, the fact that we still have no good idea of who was behind the 1998 bombing made this especially toxic.
One can fret too much about the tabloids. The fact is that while papers like The Times and The Guardian sell fewer copies they are read by people who are far more influential. Broadsheet readerships tend to be smaller but more select and, thus, the mistruths and illusions they promote are more dangerous. It is nonetheless disturbing to observe the gallons of sewage with which the tabloids flood the middle and lower classes.
One almost forgets that their supposed reason for existence is to provide news. Their raison d'etre is blind fear and futile resentment: exploiting rather than informing popular concerns and giving readers the impression of abject powerlessness. The Sun, then, promoted frightening yet fictitious stories of terrorist plots such as "Al-Qaeda…fitting women suicide bombers with fake breasts that explode" and screamed "TRAITORS" when MPs failed to back the domineering measures held to be essential in coping with the exaggerated threat. Such is their disdain for the truth and their readership that even the buxom lasses on the third page are organs of propaganda. In 2004, Zoe, 22, from London, expressed the opinion that "the world is better off without Saddam". Thanks.
The soullessness extends beyond political reportage. The Daily Mail, for example, and its online empire, is noted for its exploitation of celebrities. The replacement of coverage of influential people with that of famous individuals is depressing for its vacuity but its obtrusiveness and prurience is also grim due to the callous attitude that The Sun's front page reflects. So invasive is its portrayal of the stars that it has published 975 articles, all of them crammed with photos, devoted to the six-year-old child of Tom Cruise. This is nothing, though, compared to their plans for the unborn spawn of actress Evan Rachel Wood. This week, to her disgust, they published shots of her ultrasound scan.
I have observed the grim irony that the media institutions which pretend to represent social conservatism are themselves lewd, disrespectful and uncaring. They not only embody these features, though, but are among their foremost promoters in our society. Hugh Trevor-Roper, who had cause to detest Rupert Murdoch after he intimidated his employees into publishing the Hitler Diaries, speculated that the brash Australian loathed England and was on a mission to "moronise and americanise the population". Even if this was not his intention it is, in large part, his achievement.
It is not enough to regret that our newspapers are a Ballardian mishmash of prurience and paranoia. The rot goes deeper. Our television schedules are filled with the vapid exploitativeness of reality programmes the tabloids have tirelessly promoted. Our performers expose and embarrass themselves for the publicity they offer. Our politicians speak in crude soundbites tailored for their headlines. They have bred culture that exists not to enlighten but to degrade: coarsening tongues, dulling minds and hardening hearts. It may be their more sophisticated and pretentious cousins that have helped to formulate the grand ideas that have thrown our society off a reasonable path but it is they that work to ensure that citizens are leering, sneering and often stupefied observers.

text: Rachel McAdams has been a movie star ever since the one-two-three punch of Mean Girls, The Notebook and Wedding Crashers effortlessly launched her Hollywood career. But none of those films was a genuine star-vehicle for the congenial Canadian actress, and she's since struggled to find a role that could elevate her to the coveted last-name-only-on-a-poster status (although Sherlock Holmes came close). Morning Glory, however -- a middling romantic comedy -- may be the movie that finally turns McAdams into a bona fide household name. Although the film was dismissed by critics, McAdams' performance as the committed producer of a struggling morning-news show was hailed as a smart and sexy revelation. It's the ideal vehicle to carry McAdams into a busy new year, where she'll star in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, co-star with Ben Affleck in Terrence Malick's super-secret new project, appear with Channing Tatum in some flick called The Vow and, of course, rejoin Robert Downey Jr. in the highly anticipated Sherlock Holmes sequel. If she keeps this up, Rachel McAdams might just become the biggest actress to ever emerge from Canada -- and considering Rachel Blanchard from the syndicated television series Clueless is Canadian, that's mighty high praise.

Brand-new Portuguese Africa tourPosted on March 11th, 2013 No comments
Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Sao Tome, Principe & Cabo Verde
With parts of North Africa unsettled during the recent past and most of Southern and East Africa very much on the regular tourist circuits, we have worked hard to put together a new tour to some of Africa's least visited countries. This exploratory itinerary takes you to places where tourism is in a completely embryonic stage. Mozambique and Angola have had a troubled history but are now completely safe for group travel and have good hotels and lodges while the island nations of Sao Tome & Principe and Cape Verde remain two of Africa's most peaceful nations. Johannesburg in South Africa and Windhoek in Namibia provide welcome and convenient transit points.
-Cultural and historical legacies of Portuguese presence in Africa, one of the world's first great empires
-Game-viewing safaris in some of Africa's most remote and least-visited places
-Huge range of landscapes, climates, wildlife, languages and cultures
-Great variety in local cuisines, many with intriguing influences from Europe and Africa
-Friendly local peoples, as yet unaccustomed to mass tourism

UND Men's Hockey: Backup goalie Stuffs SiouxGrand Forks, ND - St. Cloud State coach Bob Motzko revealed Friday afternoon that No. 1 goaltender Mike Lee didn't make the trip to Grand Forks because of an injury and may be out for a lengthy period of time. A few hours later, the Huskies revealed that they have a perfectly capable backup.
By: Brad Elliott Schlossman, grandforkshearld.com
St. Cloud State coach Bob Motzko revealed Friday afternoon that No. 1 goaltender Mike Lee didn't make the trip to Grand Forks because of an injury and may be out for a lengthy period of time.
A few hours later, the Huskies revealed that they have a perfectly capable backup.
Freshman Ryan Faragher, making his second career start, stopped 44 shots — 39 of them in the first two periods — to lead St. Cloud State to a 4-0 win over UND in front of 11,743 in Ralph Engelstad Arena crowd.
The Sioux, who dropped to 2-4-1 and 0-3 in Western Collegiate Hockey Association play for the first time since 1989, couldn't convert on seven power-play chances, including two five-minute majors and a five-on-three for a full two minutes.
And despite outshooting their opponents by 27 and 21 in the last two games, the Sioux have a pair of losses to show for it.
"We just can't catch a break right now — chance after chance after chance all night," forward Danny Kristo said. "I think everyone's frustrated starting from the goalies on out all the way to the coaching staff. I thought there was a lot of good tonight. Look at the shots. We dominated down low. We can't get away from the things we're doing well. You can't try to cheat for other things.
"When you're going through tough times, you have to stick together and keep going at it."
Faragher, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound native of Fort Frances, Ont., likely calmed any nerves that the Huskies had about him taking over for the injured Lee. He stopped Sioux alternate captain Corban Knight on three consecutive doorstep chances on the first shift of the game. From there, he settled in.
"I was relaxed — the crowd doesn't really faze me," Faragher said. "I listen to heavy metal music, so noise isn't really a factor when I'm out there. In fact, I like playing in away barns like this. It was a fun game. I kept it simple, had fun and just watched the puck."
St. Cloud State held a 1-0 lead through two periods on a goal by Jared Festler, who converted a two-on-one pass from Drew LeBlanc at 7 minutes, 16 seconds of the first period. But the Sioux dominated the chances, throwing 15 shots at Faragher in the first and 24 in the second.
The Sioux got several pucks to the crease area, but weren't able to get any of them to go.
"They certainly aren't bouncing in," UND coach Dave Hakstol said. "They are finding a way to avoid that four-by-six. So, we've got to keep going. We've got to find a way to get a greasy, ugly one and build from there."
The Sioux attempted 71 shots through the first two periods and 85 for the game. They've attempted 168 shots to their opponent's 72 in the last two contests. UND lost both of them.
"We've just got to keep going," Knight said. "We can't change our game too much. Maybe we can crash the net a little more and get some greasy goals. If you look at the shots we've had, they've been good shots, good quality chances. So, we can't stray away from our game plan and try to break everything down. We've got to just keep doing what we're doing and it's going to come sooner or later."
St. Cloud State finished off the victory with goals on point shots by Andrew Prochno and Sam Zabkowicz in the third period as well as an empty-netter by Travis Novak. Aaron Dell stopped 19 shots for the Sioux.
If there was one good piece of news for the Sioux it was that freshman Rocco Grimaldi suited up and looked a lot closer to 100 percent than his attempted to go earlier in the month. Grimaldi started on the fourth line but was moved to the second line in the second period.
"We have choice but to come out tomorrow and regroup," Kristo said. "It's a must-win tomorrow, for sure."
Notes: St. Cloud State fourth-line wing Nick Oliver of Roseau was ejected for a checking from behind major just 7:35 into the game. The hit mangled the helmet of Mark MacMillan, who remained off the ice for several minutes while he waited to get a new helmet. Oliver's penalty was later changed to a disqualification, meaning he will be suspended for tonight's game. . . Ben Hanowski received a game misconduct for a hit-to-the-head of Mario Lamoureux. Hanowski will be eligible to return tonight. . . UND scratched Connor Gaarder, Brendan O'Donnell (injury), Taylor Dickin and Tate Maris.
St. Cloud State 4,
Key play: Andrew Prochno's goal for a 2-0 Husky lead.
Key player: Ryan Faragher, 44 saves.

The last day of school: Have your friends sign your yearbook, say goodbye to teachers and the coach. Hug your friends, promise to stay in touch.
Not my 13-year-old granddaughter. She was home, not able to go to school that day. She's an average student, cute, funny. But another 13-year-old girl hit her in the jaw and bloodied her nose last week in the hall. All because of "she said, she said" and ugly words and stuff on Facebook.
A gang was waiting to finish the job on the last day. So she stayed home.

Friday, October 25, 2013 - Study-abroad program gives OU student the time of her life
By Cynthia Weil, contributing writer
Hailey Brouillet, second from left, and fellow students in a CIEE study abroad program show off VIP passes that allow them to enter Dutch parliament buildings in the Binnenhof.
OU student Hailey Brouillet's casual interest in study-abroad brochures led to a trip to Amsterdam and London this year, and the best experience of her life.
"I wanted a study-abroad program in my public health major that would provide credit toward my degree," said Brouillet. "The CIEE seven-week Comparative Public Health Systems program to Amsterdam and London caught my eye."
Although not a new concept, multi-location study-abroad program options are flourishing.
"The multiple-site program is increasingly popular," said Prof. Brian Connery, director of the Oakland's International Education Office. "It provides students with a way to look at a subject of study with a perspective of two or more countries."
Brouillet explored health care issues from the Dutch perspective at the University of Amsterdam. Her study abroad group also traveled to London to research challenges facing the British National Health Service.
Brouillet, second from right, sits with fellow students atop Arthur's Seat, a dormant volcano in Edinburgh, Scotland.
"I was expecting to be nervous and when I arrived in Amsterdam, but was not. We had a four-day orientation that included group activities, dinners, tours of the area and canal excursions to become comfortable with the city and then get to know other students in the program," said Brouillet. "The staff was friendly and made us feel at home."
Students, who came from as near and far as Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Minnesota, lived in a University of Amsterdam canal-side dorm and in an apartment in London.
"It was perfect having quaint Amsterdam as our first location for study abroad. London was a busy, fast-paced big city, and we were prepared to jump into its culture," Brouillet said.
The program incorporated guest lectures and site visits into the classroom curriculum. Students completed 15-page papers for each program, and augmented their studies with weekend excursions to Barcelona, Rome and Scotland.
"CIEE is known for its activities outside the classroom and for its programs in health sciences and programs incorporating service learning," said Connery.
Hailey Brouillet, second from right, and fellow students stand outside a castle in Edinburgh.
Oakland University is a new member of the CIEE study-abroad consortium, a non-profit, non-governmental international exchange organization that provides high-quality, academically rigorous study-abroad opportunities using the expertise of local professionals at all of its sites. Brouillet was the first OU to student complete a program.
"Hailey is a pioneer in using the CIEE program and we are looking forward to other students enriching their academic careers with this opportunity," said Connery.
CIEE students can study abroad for a single term, full academic year or a three- to five-week summer program. Costs vary depending on the program's location and duration. Students register for classes and pay tuition through Oakland University.
For those not interested in a seven-week study abroad program, OU's Social Work program offers a 12-day Global Health Program through Florence, Rome, Paris and Amsterdam.
Brouillet's experience had an unexpected life-changing impact.
"The study abroad expanded horizons much more than I ever thought it would. It made me want to travel, be more independent and eager to try new things," she said.
The travel abroad group gathers outside centuries-old buildings in the Binnenhof.
"My favorite part of the experience was meeting the other students in the program and getting so close so fast.
Brouillet added, "I recommend that students go for the study abroad and don't think about how costly it might be. Just go for it. It was the best experience of my life and I would not take it back for anything."

Serves 8
Roasting the beef at a low temperature cooks the meat slowly and evenly and gives you time to finish preparing the other dishes.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 250°F.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, thyme, garlic, 1 tsp. salt, and several generous grinds of black pepper. Put the tenderloin on a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet or in a small roasting pan and rub the oil mixture all over it.
Roast the tenderloin until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 130°F for medium rare, about 1 hour. Transfer to a carving board, tent with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Cut the tenderloin crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Serve with the ragoût.
You can season the tenderloin up to 6 hours ahead and refrigerate.

12/26/2013Wonderfully flavorful! I had a 7-pound roast so I doubled the amount of the recipe. It took about an hour and 45 minutes to cook, but it was done to perfection and was so tender and delicious. The ragout is fabulous as well.
by jquinl,
4/1/2013I made this for a last minute Easter dinner for two (the leftovers will be wonderful). It was too late to get a trimmed tenderloin, so I purchased a whole tenderloin on sale, making the price of the dinner quite reasonable. The rub adds some excellent but not too strong flavor accents to the roast. It definitely took longer than one hour to roast, and I turned up the heat to 325 in the end. The result was excellent. The mushroom ragout is incredible--I added some morels, which added to the flavor and texture but are not necessary. The ragout replicates a local restaurant dish that my husband and I love.
I would be a great entree to serve to company. The ragout can be made ahead, and the beef can be in the pan chilling with the rub several hours in advance. Just pop in the oven and enjoy some wine with the guests.
by Knitknut,
3/21/2013Excellent!! I asked the butcher to remove the chain and the silver skin which was done beautifully and he tied the ends to make it equal thickness. The flavours are wonderful as is the mushroom ragout. I doubled the ragout recipe which I prepared the day ahead....makes life so much easier. This is a pricey meal no doubt about it but so worth it. I received more compliments last evening from one of the husbands saying this was better than at a fine restaurant!
I had a 7.56 lb roast which I cooked to 130* and that took an hour. It was just the way we all love it!
by JennPed,
1/2/2012I cooked my filet (~2.5lbs.) in the roaster and it took almost twice as long to reach medium/medium rare. It was so tender and flavorful. We will definitely do this again next Christmas. The mushroom ragout was awesome and a great accompaniment. Its a treat, but I would give it a try!
by rarwords,
12/27/2011Absolutely wonderful. The meat was perfect!
by MrFattyCakes,
12/23/2011Made it for a pre-Christmas dinner and it was so good that it barely served 7! Thank goodness, because when I picked it up at the butcher...well, let's just say I suffered from sticker shock. But you could cut it with a fork, it was so tender. The ragout was also outstanding. I did the mushrooms in two batches. Don't be afraid to let them get really brown.
by Aztecmtg,
12/17/2011I have made this multiple times and it never disappoints! Hands down, this is the best way to preapre a beef tenderloin.
by texasyaya,
2/9/2011I have made this twice and it is wonderful. Mushrooms are tasty and rich.
by dream_aways,
10/30/2010I made the Beef Tenderloin with Double-Mushroom Ragout for my Christmas dinner party last year and WOW! it was so delicious and such a winning hit I am making it again this year for New Years! Wheter you like mushrooms or not you will be sure to like this! The sauce is delicious even when your guests pick the mushrooms out! And it goes great over anything! Toast chicken...so if you have a vegitarian coming you can whip something up for them as well with out going away from the dish too much or more added work!
by MikeJones,
1/4/2010This is my new "go to" recipe for beef tenderloin. I have done it twice in the last 3 weeks, once with the ragout and once without. Rave reviews both times. The last time I cooked it "indirect" on my Big Green Egg smoker/grill. The mild flavor from the charcoal made it even tastier.
by Marty57,
12/28/2009Excellent - was a great hit at our holiday meal!
by tracyd,
1/9/2009This recipe is spectacular. I made the entire thing Christmas day and it was so easy and delicious. Boxing Day I served the meat and mushroom ragout to 15 guests and received rave reviews- they could have eaten the ragout by the bowl! Definitely a recipe to keep.
by ljskitchen,
1/6/2009Outstanding centerpiece of our Christmas dinner. Easy to put together with foolproof instructions.
by DJF,
1/2/2009For an uber-indulgent holiday company-worthy main course, I loved how easily and how quickly this recipe came together. A five-star dish without five hours of prep to get it to the table.

11/30/2008Family could not believe the great taste! roasted on grill to 125 degrees internal temp. and then rested under foil for 20 minutes - ended up with medium rare and very rare, depending on thickness of beef
