This also came up in the original entry Everything used is copyright-free and also altered by me. It's not much different than using a photoshop brush or distress word sieve, and falls within Woot's rules. In my experience, Woot only objects when 1) an entry is almost entirely based on a photo (not the case here, as mine is a drawing with textures created from multiple photos), 2) when the photos used are not legal (also not the case here, I am careful to only use images that I either took myself or know 100% to be copyright-free), or 3) unprintable (also not the case here).

The limited first pressing is released in digipak format incl. acoustic bonus track.
Representing the culmination of experiences, trials and tribulations of founding members Matt Barlow (ex ICED EARTH), Freddie Vidales (ex ICED EARTH) and Van Williams (ex NEVERMORE), newly founded heavy metal powerhouse ASHES OF ARES is all set to take the world by storm in 2013! Within months of their departures from the iconic metal bands they had played in before, the three of them came together with a renewed drive to create a sound which is a true collaboration of their personal influences, ideas and visions. Armed with the knowledge acquired through years of the writing, touring and recording cycle, and with the support of an army of loyal fans across the globe, ASHES OF ARES is poised to carve out a new legacy and stand alongside those who have helped pave the way. Recorded in Tampa-based "Morrisound Recording" studios together with producer Jim Morris (ICED EARTH, KAMELOT, MORBID ANGEL), the self-titled debut record »Ashes Of Ares« not only embraces the band members' own musical experiences from the past, but was also influenced by some of the shining leading figures in metal, as Freddie Vidales states: "When we were writing this album, influences were popping in and out of my head so often that when I listen back to the songs now, I can tell exactly who inspired certain riffs. Bands such as IRON MAIDEN, SLAYER, SAXON, BEHEMOTH, MACHINE HEAD, DEATH ANGEL and QUEENSRYCHE are just some that I can listen to our riffs and pinpoint which of their songs I got the ideas from." Lyrically, the album can be considered no less multifaceted than on the musical level. "Though the album doesn't follow a strict concept, there are certain themes running throughout the lyrical content", Matt Barlow explains. "Some of the topics are good and evil, life and death, betrayal, victory, loss and defiance. In short – pure heavy fuckin' metal!" After already having been celebrated for their new songs at this year's Rock Hard Festival before the album was even officially announced, ASHES OF ARES will doubtlessly send the audiences into rapture on their upcoming European tour together with POWERWOLF, MAJESTY and BATTLE BEAST in September and October. Prepare for the triumphal march of a new force in heavy metal - rising from the ASHES OF ARES!

Dubayy joined the world's leading racing nations in 1995 when it was announced that the first $4 million Dubayy World Cup, the world's richest race, would be run at the Nad ash-Sheba racetrack on March 27, 1996. The sport was introduced to the United Arab Emirates, of which Dubayy is one of seven members, in 1986, and the first race in Dubayy itself was not run until November 1991.
Dubayy was also becoming an important winter training centre. The first experiment was with Dayflower, which finished fifth in the 1993 One Thousand Guineas a few days after her return to Britain. In 1995 Red Bishop, which had left Dubayy in December 1994 to win in Hong Kong, added another valuable prize there in April and later that month won the San Juan Capistrano at Santa Anita, Calif.
When the Godolphin Racing team, organized in 1994 by Sheikh Muhammad al-Maktoum for the purpose of wintering horses in Dubayy, returned to Europe, Moonshell, Lammtarra, and Halling won Group One races in England, while Vettori scored at the top level in France and Flagbird in Italy. Lammtarra became only the second horse--his predecessor was Mill Reef in 1971--to have won the English Derby, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes, and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in the same season.
Sheikh Muhammad rejected a Japanese offer for Lammtarra. However, though Lammtarra was retired to stud at Newmarket, the sheikh did sell his 1994 Arc de Triomphe winner, Carnegie, to Japan.
Lammtarra, which raced in the name of the sheikh's nephew, Sa'id ibn Maktoum al-Maktoum, ran only four times. None of his victories was easy. He beat Tamure by one length in the Derby, Pentire by a neck in the King George, and Freedom Cry by three-quarters of a length in the Arc de Triomphe. In between the last two, Pentire, which won six of his seven races in 1995, beat Freedom Cry by half a length in the Guinness Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, Ireland, to confirm that Lammtarra was only slightly superior to his rivals. Lammtarra, however, was not named Cartier Horse of the Year, that honour going to Ridgewood Pearl, which gained Group One success in Britain, France, and Ireland and then won the Breeders' Cup Mile.
Pennekamp, the champion two-year-old of 1994 in France, beat his British equivalent, Celtic Swing, by a head in the Two Thousand Guineas. But he suffered a fracture in his right foreleg when finishing 11th behind Lammtarra in the Derby and did not race again. Celtic Swing went on to win the Prix du Jockey-Club (French Derby) but injured himself in the Irish Derby and also vanished from the scene.
Andre Fabre was French champion trainer for the ninth consecutive year, and John Dunlop filled that position in Britain for the first time in a 30-year career. Earlier in the season Dunlop had trained his 2,000th winner in Britain. Henry Cecil was the only other active British trainer to have passed that mark.
Thierry Jarnet and Lanfranco Dettori retained their jockeys championships in France and Britain, respectively, as did Peter Schiergen in Germany. Schiergen had ridden 256 winners by November 19 and was on course to set a new European record for winners in a season.
British racing lost Lester Piggott, 11 times champion jockey between 1960 and 1982, who announced his retirement at the age of 59.
Doriemus, a five-year-old bred in New Zealand, became the ninth horse in the 20th century to have won both the Caulfield Cup and the Melbourne Cup in the same year. He gave trainer Lee Freedman his third Melbourne Cup victory in seven years when he beat the Victoria Derby winner, Nothin' Leica Dane, by four lengths. Lando, only 12th in the Breeders' Cup Turf, returned to top form in the Japan Cup in Tokyo on November 26. The German five-year-old ended his career with a 1 1/2-length victory over Hishi Amazon in the richest race of 1995.

"Why do I feel like that one person that everyone avoids at all costs, running in the opposite direction as soon as paths cross and skirts around their very existence?"
"But I do know that I feel like that crazy person talking to themself while sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons that everyone walks around but stares at like a circus freak show."
So apparently when I am feeling avoided, my writing kicks in...Go figure...
I've been away with the family all weekend. No internet, broken phone, just scary locals and fish! (we were at the family camp on a lake) Isn't it wonderful how writing does that?
Sometimes its good that writing does that...sometimes its not so good..

Hi, and greetings from Norway! As a general rule ive only bought American guns by now, mainly because some(luckily not so many) people in this socialist country(well there is both a strong left and right wing in our politics) dont want to buy american simply because they dont like the US, and i want to to show them the greatness of american guns. But lately ive been thinking wether or not to buy a 870 or a Nova, Benelli. Ive heard from many people that Nova is the way to go, but I love my 870 express. Can you guys tell me pros and cons about these two guns? The express i have is a wooden kind, 12/76, or 12g 3", as you would call it. Now i want a gun in synthetic stock and 12g 3,5".

You can get pages of "input" from different people touting one or the other, but they both work. Personally I like the Remingtons, but there is nothing wrong with the Nova. I don't do plastic or flat finishes if I can avoid it. Now, when all the Remington haters come along and tell you what a piece of junk the Express is, see how that stacks up against your own experiences and weigh it accordingly.
What could have happened... did.
I'm.not going to sit here and bad mouth the 870 bc obviously they are good guns or they wouldn't sale but I just don't like them....especially the newer ones the finish seems cheap and the action is not smooth a plus side to the 870 is you can find any accessory you want for it The nova is a nice gun I use to have one and I loved it I never shot at a deer or Turkey and didn't kill it....it takes a little getting use to if you are use to the "traditional" wood stock style of shotgun if it was me I would pick the nova in my opinion the benelli/beretta company makes the best hunting shotguns there is Also check out the Winchester super x pump, the stoeger p 350, and I have heard the new weatherby pumps are nice too
and people would use them as paddles for their boats and throw them in the mud with no malfunctions.
mine's an express. no issues with it at all. I've fired several thousand rounds with it, never really cleaned it...just took the barrel off for the first time the other day after owning it for 10 years. mine's the 'home defender' model, 18" barrel, 6 round mag tube, synthetic stock, no threads in the barrel for a choke. works for what I use it for and has never left me wanting. (I shoot it in IPSC 3-gun comps)
Remingtons have no cast on or off that I have ever seen.
I love this gun its the super nova I have used a lot of shotguns its all I can hunt with where I live and this is my go to gun for every thing from duck to deer and its my sit in the corner of the bedroom gun P.S. u can't go wrong with anything made in the USA did love my 870 in 3.5 I had when I was 16 till I turned 22
Unless and until Benelli comes out with something of the same quality as an 870 Remington Express, buy a Benelli. And no, I didn't get that backwards.

As we reported earlier [1] today on DeSmogBlog, the Heartland Institute is organizing the "2008 International Conference on Climate Change," for those few left who cling to the notion that somehow the international science community has gotten it wrong on the causes and realities of global warming.
Call them "skeptics," "deniers," or whatever you want, this conference is a last ditch attempt to draw media attention to a message that has long passed its expiry date.
Heck, even George W. Bush [2] no longer denies the scientific realities of climate change.
Over the next week, DeSmogBlog will research the individuals listed as "confirmed speakers" [3] for the conference and provide a succinct briefing note on each.
If you would like to find out when we have added new entries, subscribe to our RSS feed. [4]

PETA's Bipartisan News Conference Packs Arizona State Capitol
It's not often that you hear about Republican strategists putting their heads together with Democratic senators, but that's exactly what happened in Arizona today. Democratic senators and Phoenix's famously conservative sheriff joined forces to help PETA save animals from suffering. The unlikely group met in front of a packed house at the Arizona State Capitol to screen video testimony from what may have seemed like an unlikely source: GOP strategist Mary Matalin.
Matalin, a longtime PETA supporter, filmed a video appeal in which she asks her fellow Republicans not to support "ag-gag" bills that would criminalize undercover investigations. She urged them to protect these crucial investigations, which help law enforcement prosecute and stop illegal abuse on farms. The video, which visibly moved the swarm of reporters, includes scenes from several of PETA's undercover investigations that revealed unlawful cruelty to animals and led to historic criminal charges, precedent-setting indictments, and numerous convictions.
Arizona is faced with not one but two GOP-backed "ag-gag bills." House Bill 2587 and Senate Bill 1267 recently passed committee and may soon go to the floor for a vote. And if either of them passes, it looks like it's lights out for undercover cruelty investigations in Arizona.
But today's events made it clear that animals have friends on both sides of the aisle. Joining PETA Vice President Dan Mathews at the Capitol was Democratic Sen. Steve Farley, named "Humane Legislator" of the year by The Humane Society in 2013, who declared his strong opposition to the bills. And conservative Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has a maverick anti-cruelty squad, vowed that he would actually sue should either bill become law and hamper his ability to enforce laws to protect animals. After the news conference, Arpaio went to meet personally with several senators who had backed the bills in committee to urge them to reverse their position.
And Matalin personally e-mailed her video to every GOP leader in Arizona, asking that they kill the bills. Her video appeal helped defeat similar "ag-gag" bills in 11 states last year, including Indiana, where the bill was deemed unconstitutional. Let's hope that Democrats and Republicans alike once again agree that cruelty to animals on farms—not the documentation of it—should be illegal.
Arizona residents, please tell your senators and representatives that you want them to oppose all "ag-gag" legislation.

This is wonderful. Partisan politics should never stand in the way of stopping animal cruelty. I am glad to know Sheriff Arpaio is on board. When he says he will do something, he by God will. Go get 'em Joe!
Cruel world we live in
I received mail today from PETA when I opened it I couldn't believe what I was seeing..experiments being done on cats! I have 3 that I love dearly., I REALY had no clue, I cried for a long time, it broke my heart..I want to help make a difference!
Hey Denise! One of the best ways that you can make a difference is actually to try vegan and to buy products that are not tested on animals. Its really easy, and is a great experience! I know that i snuggle up to my dogs even closer, and feel better since making the switch! Check out PETAs awesome recipies and vegan food blogs for even more help!

Apple Mini Album
Get ready for back to school fun with this Apple Mini Album from Maureen Wilson. You can use back to school crafts like this either in our out of the classroom...and they make great gifts for teachers, too! Scrapbook with your kids as they tell you all about their first day!
- Ribbon, 1 yd.
- Small clothespin
- Double-sided adhesive
- Embellishments (stickers, paper, etc.)
- Small scrap of black cardstock
- Free apple template (use to print on red and white cardstock below)
- 3 sheets red cardstock, 8.5×11
- 2 sheets white cardstock, 8.5×11
Begin by downloading the free apple template. You will need a total of 5 apple shapes, printed on red cardstock. Since there are two on each page, you will need to print three copies of the apple. (Make sure your print settings are set to "no margins, no scaling.")
You will also need to print the second page, which has the apple core shapes. You can print this on white cardstock, or print several sheets on different colored cardstock. You will need a total of 10 apple core shapes, so print two copies.
Start by cutting out the apple shapes. Cut just inside the line so that it won't show. Then, fold in half by matching up the sides. Crease each apple shape down the center.
Now we'll combine the apple shapes. Put adhesive on one half of a folded apple. Lay another folded apple directly on top of it, matching up all the sides.
Then, adhere another folded apple shape on top of that one. Continue adding the apples until you have one apple shape left.
Before gluing the last apple, we need to add a ribbon tie closure. Cut one piece of ribbon that is about 16 inches and another that is around 9. Adhere one to each side of the apple shape, in the middle.
Then, glue the last apple shape on top of the ribbon. Now when you unfold the album, it should be able to stand up by itself. To tie, loop the long ribbon around the back , then tie in a bow with the short ribbon at front.
Now it's time to decorate! Cut out the apple core shapes and adhere one to each half of every page. You will need to flip the ones on the left side over so they will fit.
Cut small raindrop shaped seeds from a scrap of black cardstock and adhere to one half of the front. You can add text to your core shapes before printing, or you can add a title afterwards, with markers, stickers, or stamps.
Embellish your album with scrapbooking paper, stickers, journaling, and photos.
- Finally, make a stem for your apple, by tying a 6-inch piece of ribbon in a knot around a small clothespin. Clip to the top of the album.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Impressive Invitation
Love's Anchor Pocket Invitations I've never seen a most unique and beautiful nautical invitation like ours. I've searched so many designs and nothing came close to this one. The customer service and the designer worked with me all the way. We had so many changes down the road, but ended up with a perfect design!
Simple and gorgeous
Love's Anchor Rectangle Invitations I ordered these invites, RSVPs and directions cards together with envelopes. They were delivered in a sturdy blue box, packed well, with info & discount coupons inside. Nice touch! I'm so impressed with the quality of the printing on this one. I was a little hesitant to order these, since it's white text on a dark blue background and I was afraid the blue might bleed over the white, making it messy or difficult to read. However, the text came out crisp and clear, and the blue was a fantastic shade of navy that is true to what I saw on my computer screen, and even more beautiful in person! The paper it's printed on is nice and thick. Great quality for the price.
Save the Date Magnets - Lots of Compliments!
Love's Anchor Save the Date Magnets These magnets were a great way to send save the dates in a unique and practical way! Many of our friends and family members have commented on how much they love them! And who wouldn't want my face hanging on their fridge? (KIDDING!)
Save the Date Magnet
Love's Anchor Save the Date Magnets I am impressed with the appearance of my magnets-they turned out beautifully! Easy to create online and printed/delivered so quickly! The price was great compared to many if the other companies that offer the same product. The only negative with these magnets is the printing peels apart from the magnet backing slightly if you remove the magnet from the refrigerator. I noticed that my friend that recommended this company had the same issue with her save the dates. It's very minimal, but it is still something to note. Overall, great experience! I can't wait to send my magnets out!
Very pleased
Love's Anchor Save the Date Magnets I was very pleased with how my Save the Date magnets came out. THe quality was great and the price was very reasonable compared to similar websites. When I sent in a request for 2 possible designs that I could not create on my own, a designer sent back 2 samples of exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I was was easier was being able to manipulate the the templates a little more than I was able. Overall, would definitely recommend.

The Secondary Schools Teachers Association decided Sunday to launch a strike in high schools and some junior high schools starting Wednesday.
Teachers in the Arab sector, however, will go on strike the following Wednesday.
Teachers Association Chairman Ran Erez said teachers are seeking a significant improvement in wages and other conditions. They are also demanding that dozens of instructional hours be restored, and a reduction in the number of children per class.
In response, the Finance Ministry issued a statement saying the "Teachers Association has decided not to take advantage of the window of opportunity and has chosen not to join the education reforms."
The treasury said the government has given education top priority, allocating NIS 5 billion toward education reforms, including NIS 1.3 billion toward adding the Teachers' Association to the reforms.

Cisco's Long-Term Outlook Worries Investors
Cisco share story updated with additional analyst comment.
SAN JOSE, Calif. ( TheStreet) -- Cisco's (CSCO - Get Report) first-quarter results, released after market close on Wednesday, sent tech stocks plunging and have raised questions about the company's long-term growth potential.
The networking giant beat Wall Street's first-quarter earnings estimate, and edged analysts' revenue forecast, but weak guidance hammered the company's shares in after-hours trading.
Cisco CEO John Chambers |
Cisco's stock plummeted more than 13% shortly after its results came out, hitting $21.15, and fell even further to $20.50 at market open. The plunge was the company's worst post-earnings drop since 1994, according to Birinyi Associates, and left some analysts questioning the firm's long-term strategy.
"Our view remains that Cisco's growth drivers at this point in its life cycle are more cyclical than secular, and with the cyclical refresh in networking now largely behind us it is difficult for the company to grow," noted Simona Jankowski, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, in a note released on Thursday. Jankowski, who lowered her 12-month Cisco price target from $25 to $23, believes that the push towards cloud computing also presents a big challenge to the networking firm. "CIOs' preference for best-of-breed vendors in the move to cloud is putting competitive pressure on integrated IT vendors such as Cisco," she explained, adding that this could be highly disruptive for Cisco's core switching business. In addition to the tepid guidance, comments from Cisco CEO John Chambers clearly spooked investors, particularly given the company's status as a tech bellwether. For the second straight quarter, the networking giant gave a cautious economic outlook as Cisco noted that first-quarter orders were $500 million below forecast. Despite plenty of analyst love prior to earnings, Cisco felt the impact of public sector weakness, both in the U.S. and overseas. Speaking during a conference call after market close, Chambers cited a "dramatic" slowdown in U.S. state government spending, as well as softness in parts of Europe and Japan. "We hit some air pockets this quarter," explained the Cisco chief. "We think that some of the challenges in public sector spending will be with us for a couple of quarters." Service providers were also problematic, with U.S. orders declining 2% during the quarter. Cisco's North American cable business, in particular, is feeling the effects of tight consumer spending and the slowdown in home building, according to Chambers.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I agree 100% Rollo. I quit smoking three and a half months ago, and I'm still pleasantly surprised at how much slower my bank account goes down when I'm not shelling out money for cigarettes!
This is a discussion on The best thing about quitting smoking within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I agree 100% Rollo. I quit smoking three and a half months ago, and I'm still pleasantly surprised at how much slower my bank account ...
I agree 100% Rollo. I quit smoking three and a half months ago, and I'm still pleasantly surprised at how much slower my bank account goes down when I'm not shelling out money for cigarettes!
Congrats, Rollo!!!
You've done what a lot of us have TRIED -and FAILED - to do!!
I smoked for nearly 10 years...quit....then, after 24 (!) years, I picked up again during a family crisis (since resolved)....
I've cut back from nearly a pack-a-day to about 1/2 that....
With me....it's got to be "cold turkey"...I've tried the Great American Smoke-Out thing....New year's resolutions, etc. --- Nada!
Best of luck, Rollo!!
Remember......less tobacco means MORE AMMO!!!
Now.... I need to practice what I preach!
As a recovering smoker - about 6 years now - I find the hardest time is the morning coffee. I had to quit coffee for a while it was so bad.
I'm back on the coffee - still off the smokes.
Best of luck and that 150.00/month will add up quickly. Make sure you put it aside or you'll end up doing something stupid with it - like paying bills!!

Keep up the good work!
When I was little my dad smoked three packs a day. One afternoon he was driving down the street and had just opened a new pack. He lit up and started with a coughing fit that wouldn't stop. He threw the cigarette and the entire pack out the window and never spoked again.
Let us know what new guns you're able to buy with your new found savings!
My dad told me that stopping smoking was the hardest thing he ever did. He smoked 2-3 packs a day for @20 years. @15 years after his last smoke, he said he got a terrible fever, and the sweats really bad. He sweat for 2 days, a nasty black sweat. He said he guessed it was all the tar leaving his body, he also said, he never craved a cigarette again after that day.
Any other ex-smokers have anything like that happen?

His nasty sweats didn't come for nearly 15 years. But I can understand the irritability, I bet that's very common.

Man that is great news. Congrats! And please for anyone that is using smokeless tobacco of any kind, please try to stop. One of the most unpleasant demises anyone can experience is the one caused by smokeless tobacco. Do whatever it takes but just say no to tobacco.
For what it's worth chocolate can kill too but it's such a pleasant experience.
"You have to answer for Santino, Carlo. You fingered Sonny for the Barzini people."
Congrats on quitting...I can't believe how much smoking costs!

Good for you! I'm two weeks into quitting and have been relying on the gum and lozenges to handle the urges, though they have been getting easier. My wife and I decided it was time to quit when we found ourselves going outside so much that our four year old asked "why do you and mommy keep going outside all the time?" - nothing like a child to put things into perspective.
Congrats on quitting. I quit June 09. My advise is before you spend all your money makes sure you budget for new clothes. It seems as if since I quit smoking that all of my clothes suddenly began to shrink. Awesome choice and it gets easier everyday.
I quite a year and a half ago. Now I have to try and get off the Nicotine Gum
Rollo, Congrats on trading one addiction for another one.
At least you'll have something to show for the gun addiction.
God is love (1 John 4:8)

The easiest way to get around Tel Aviv is on foot or by taxi. Taxi mini-buses ( ) follow the same routes as the public buses, often with more frequency and are slightly cheaper on weekdays. The bus system itself is extensive with a fixed fare in the city-centre. Taxi cabs are not of any particular make or model car, but do have rooftop signs and are plentiful. Fares are metered and more expensive at night. Driving in Tel Aviv is not for the faint-hearted, as local drivers tend to be aggressive and impatient.

Maybe it's my contrarianism -- maybe just ignorance. But when the anti-dollar, pro-commodity trade is the surest, most popular trade extant, it might make sense to start thinking the other way. Just a thought.
Position: Long commodity stocks
10-Year Auction Strong
Tom Graff1:19 p.m. EDT The Treasury's $20 billion 10-year auction came in very strong, especially impressive given how much the market had already rallied this morning. Pre-auction expectations were 3.23%, and it came in at 3.21%. Bid/cover was 3.01 times, which is the second-strongest level for a 10-year auction in the last 15 years (only bested by 3.28 times for the July 2009 auction), and 47.4% was awarded to indirect bidders, which is said to be an indicator of foreign demand. Overall, it was a very strong auction and supportive of the notion that 10-years could test the 3.05% to 3.00% area in the near term. We'll obviously have to get past tomorrow's long bond auction first. Position: Short TBT
Pandit Gets an A+
By Don Dion4:24 p.m. EDT Pandit got a solid review from a highly credible consulting firm. This fact along with the support of Prince Alwaleed bodes well for Citigroup (C - Get Report). We didn't need another bank CEO search at this time. It's also relevant that Pandit, who is not in need of a paying job, is hanging in there and swinging the bat each and every day. Class acts are usually good for stock prices. Position: None

Even if what is described is often served under the name "prinsesstårta" (princess cake) in Sweden, the proper Swedish name for it is actually "operatårta" (opera cake). A real "princesstårta" contains the cake, the pastry cream, a thick layer of whipped cream and marzipan, never jam.
Information from "Prinsessornas nya kokbok", the sequel to "Prinsessornas kokbok (1929)", where the cake originated.

Florida Atlantic Owls (4-7)
@Miami Hurricanes (6-4)
Saturday, December 17
BankAtlantic Center - Sunrise, FL
Attendance: None
Florida Atlantic
Sunrise, FL (Sports Network) - Kenny Kadji scored 21 points to help lift the Miami Hurricanes to a thrilling 93-90 double-overtime victory against Florida Atlantic in the Orange Bowl Classic at the BankAtlantic Center.
Making his season debut, Reggie Johnson tallied 15 points, nine rebounds, five assists and five blocks, as he was playing in his first game since undergoing right knee surgery in June. Durand Scott added 18 points and Rion Brown scored 15 off the bench for the Hurricanes (6-4), who had lost four of five entering today's game.
FAU (4-7) freshman Omari Grier scored a season-high 27 points in his first career start. He drained a three-pointer at the end of regulation to force overtime, then buried another three to force the second overtime. Raymond Taylor added 20 points and nine assists in the absence of Owls' leading scorer Greg Gantt, who sat out with a sprained left ankle.
Miami jumped out to a 10-2 lead behind a pair of three-pointers by Scott. The Hurricanes enjoyed their largest margin at 25-15, and they led 34-30 at the half.
In the second half, Grier hit consecutive threes to spark an 8-0 run and a 48-43 lead for the Owls, their largest of the game. However, they trailed 71-65 before making three buckets in the final 40 seconds of regulation, including a game-tying three-pointer by Grier with 1.3 seconds remaining, to force overtime.
Grier, who finished 7-of-12 from beyond the arc, drained another game-tying three-pointer with 33 seconds to play in the first overtime.
Grant gave Miami the lead for good with a three-pointer at the 3:20 mark of the second extra session, although the Owls had a chance to send the game into a third overtime in the final seconds, but Taylor's 25-footer was off the mark.
Miami has now won 21 of 22 all-time meetings with FAU, although none were as tightly contested as today's matchup. The Hurricanes shot an impressive 62 percent from the field, and that included 14 threes in the game, their most since 2009-10.

Tiger tradition takes to field
A light breeze and bright sun set the tone for a Tiger tradition Wednesday. Fifth grade students from Northwestern and Iron River elementary schools bused to Northwestern High School to run, jump and throw during the 39th fifth grade track and field day. The friendly competition serves as a send-off to middle school, said organizer Shawn Leith.
"They look forward to it," said Leith, a fifth grade teacher. "It's a good time."

Yvonne HerronOn June 8, 1953, I was seventeen and had graduated from Beecher High School the preceding week. I still remember vividly certain images from that day. My father coming in from the front porch, describing clouds moving, seeming to stop, and reversing direcion, his saying we should go to the basement. Looking out a west window and seeing the top of a good sized tree bent to the ground. Coming up the stairs from the basement and there was nothing above ground but debris.. no house, no trees, no neighbors' houses. Seeing an elderly neighbor still in her bed but her house was gone and the bed was in the middle of the street. Going with some others into the next door basement to try to help the neighbor trapped by a beam. Going to a collection center for lost property and finding my Polaroid camera with film in it and still operable but the case was covered in tiny stones imbedded in the leather. Keeping my copy of Daphne Du Maurier's My Cousin Rachel found in a field, paper slip cover still on it , all pages intact but pitted with small bits of debris. Eventually learning that a close family friend had died when he simply went out to close his garage door. Returning to Beecher HIgh in 1957 to teach and the emotions involved being there during weather warnings in the spring of 1958. I have always thought it strange that my memory of events since June 8, 1953 has always been clear and generally precise but many personal events before that date are indistinct It is like a curtain closed that evening. Even now, 50 years later, if there is a tornado watch or warning, I cannot stay in a building if I cannot see the sky. I need to watch the color of the clouds, feel the wind direction, the air pressure, and then decide if we need to go to the basement as we did in 1953. |

In today's culturally diverse classrooms, students possess and use many culturally, ethnically, and regionally diverse English language varieties that may differ from standardized English. This book helps classroom teachers become attuned to these differences and offers practical strategies to support student achievement while fostering positive language attitudes in classrooms and beyond. The text contrasts standardized English with Southern, Appalachian, and African American English varieties, focusing on issues that are of everyday concern to those who are assessing the linguistic competence of students.

At last we have a book on language variation that speaks to the entire school community including not only educators, but administrators, and counselors as well. Concise, clearly written, and a perfect balance between theory and practice, this book is very readable and does not require a linguistic background in order to understand it. The reader will walk away with a deeper understanding of what English language variation is and how it relates to teaching and academic achievement. The authors advocate that educators build on the language patterns that students bring with them to school, helping all students learn standardized English without diminishing their linguistic and cultural background (9).
Perhaps the most welcomed feature--and where other books of this sort fall short--is the authors' inclusion of sections called, Strategies for Educators which provide plenty of concrete ways to foster language awareness and linguistically informed responses in the classroom. If, as an educator, you have ever reflected upon the connection between your students' home language and school achievement, then grab this book. I wish I would have had Understanding English Language Variation in hand at the beginning of my teaching profession.

An amazing book that is both well-informed and nuanced. It's a crucial resource for all educators who wish to help students who have been too often neglected. I have used material from this book as a tutor for high school students.
