Like Books? Like NPR? We Invite You To Explore The New NPR Books!
You may have noticed, over the last couple of weeks, that NPR's book pages have gotten a face-lift.
It's more than a face-lift, actually. It's pretty much a full Six Million Dollar Man makeover. The bones of those pages are titanium now. The technological muscles and sinews connecting them are stronger too.
So now our story pages can carry more information about the books and authors we cover — and they're interlinked more tightly. Our hope is that for you, that'll mean a much richer books-discovery experience here at NPR.org.
Ferinstance, check out Glen Weldon's Monkey See post about Supergods from earlier this week. Before this project, that handsome book cover would've just been ... well, a handsome book cover. Now it's a pointer to a new kind of page at NPR.org — a kind of "landing page" devoted entirely to a single book. It's designed to collect all our coverage of that book, past and present and future, and to do it more or less automatically.
Click on the book jacket at left for another example: the page for David McCullough's The Greater Journey. After you click through, scroll down a bit, and you'll see a couple of story headlines: Critic Maureen Corrigan recommended it to Fresh Air audiences as a great summer read, and on Weekend Edition Sunday, NPR's Susan Stamberg talked to McCullough about a painting that figures in the book — a gigantic canvas painted by telegraph inventor Samuel Morse.
That's two very different looks, from two very different NPR shows, at one book — now in one place for your perusal.
While you're looking at that landing page, check out the genre tags — the little blue squibs marked "nonfiction" and "history & society." They're clickable. Here's hoping you'll like what you find behind them. Those genre pages — all 25 of them, from "romance" to "literary fiction" to "comics & graphic novels" — represent a brand-new way of organizing NPR Books coverage.
And that's just the start. Our new book landing pages are connected to author pages, which collect NPR's reviews, interviews and features in a slightly different way. Plus we've redesigned the hubs for some of our signature books-recommendation series. We wanted to make it clearer which books are discussed in each essay. (Have a look at Three Books and My Guilty Pleasure and You Must Read This to see what I mean.)
We overhauled our Bestseller Lists, too. Nice, right? We hope they're easier to navigate — and that they'll help you find the NPR stories that'll help you find your next favorite read.
Last but definitely not least, there's a new NPR Books home page — and a new navigation scheme (see that black bar at the top?) to tie it all together.
It's all the result of 18 weeks of hard work on the part of NPR designers, coders, editors and librarians (wooooo, librarians!) — and many more months of planning and research. (If you're interested in a look backstage, I'll have a more detailed post about at that process soon on the Inside NPR blog.)
Some of you, in fact, may have participated in the audience research that helped us shape the new NPR Books. Whether you did or didn't, we hope you'll take some time now to explore the newly relaunched section. Click around, get a sense of how it's all connected, let us know what you like.
And tell us what else you'd like to see — because you know we're not going to stop here, right?
The Best Of The Louvre, On A Single Canvas

Beginning on Sunday, June 3, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., will exhibit Samuel Morse's painting Gallery of the Louvre. The American better known for inventing the telegraph and the communication code that bears his name, painted the large work — it's 6 feet tall and 9 feet wide — starting in 1831, while living in Paris.
David McCullough writes about Morse and his painting in his new book, The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris. McCullough says Morse created the painting in order to show Europe's great works of art to Americans.
"There were no museums here, as yet, in the 1830s, and no color representations of paintings," McCullough tells NPR's Susan Stamberg. "So he was going to bring the culture of Europe — mainly the Renaissance Italian masterpieces in the Louvre collection — back to the United States for the benefit of his countrymen."
In Gallery of the Louvre, Morse shows a large red-colored room, its walls hung with more than three dozen works of art. McCullough says the works themselves were all on view at the Louvre, but not in the same room.
"He had to go through the entire collection of the Louvre, which was enormous, but well over a thousand paintings, and pick out those masterpieces which he thought merited the attention of his countrymen back home. So it's his pick of the Louvre masterpieces, and it includes most of the major Italian Renaissance painters. Titian and Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt to be sure, and others. He had to not only reduce them down to miniature size in the painting, but he had to capture the essence of their style and their genius."
At the very bottom of his painted textbook, Morse faithfully copies da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
"It was an extremely ambitious undertaking because many of the paintings that he was copying were hung very high up. And so he had to build a movable platform, or scaffold, that he wheeled about the galleries of the Louvre to reach his subjects. And he and the movable scaffold became a tourist attraction themselves," McCullough says with a laugh. "His ambition was very great and he felt strongly that this painting would make the mark, would make him known everywhere. And in a way, it did. It's certainly his masterpiece."
Today, in Paris and elsewhere, artists are still found in museum galleries, copying famous works. McCullough says the tradition of reproducing works stated in the 17th century and was often done for wealthy people who had very valuable private collections.
Morse was the first American to do such copying, but the painting itself shows just how common the practice was in Europe: Figures in his composite gallery paint reproductions of the work on the walls, just as Morse himself was doing.
"One of the things that impressed Americans — Winslow Homer did an illustration, a magazine illustration — [was] how many of the students were women, and that art was not closed off to women in France," McCullough says. "And that was considered to be quite a radical and welcome change. And of course Morse is showing that very clearly in his painting."
What he's not showing is also notable. McCullough says Morse didn't include the French Romantics of the time. No Delecroix or Gericault, he only shows classics from the Italian Renaissance.
The selection process alone must have taken weeks, McCullough says. And Morse was dedicated to the task.
"He came every day the museum was open. As soon as it opened he was in there at work, and he stayed as long as they would allow him. He was a determined man. And he had hoped this painting was going to make his career, but also get him out of debt," McCullough says. "He was going to put it on exhibit and charge admission fees. Well, it didn't work. The crowds did not come. And then he sold it for much, much less than he ever anticipated. But years later, in the 1980s, that painting sold for over $3 million, which was the largest sum ever paid — until then — the largest sum ever paid for an American work of art."
The painting was not the only contribution to culture that Morse brought to America. While he was working on Gallery of the Louvre, he was also contemplating another idea.
"He came back home from Paris [carrying] in effect two treasures. One was the painting. And the other was an idea he'd had because of something he'd seen while in France, and the idea was for the telegraph," McCullough says. "And when he got home he perfected the telegraph, and then he went back some years later to try and secure a French patent for the telegraph. And while he was there met [Louis] Daguerre who'd invented photography, or the daguerreotype as it was then known, and with Daguerre's permission, brought photography back to the United States. So he came home from Paris with three major contributions: the painting, the telegraph and the photography."

Summer, when I was a kid, meant weekend road-trips in our family Rambler to sites of historical interest. We'd pack up deviled-ham sandwiches and Cokes and make pilgrimages from our apartment in Queens to Teddy Roosevelt's house on Long Island or Washington Irving's house in Westchester. Sometimes there were longer expeditions to Valley Forge and, once, Williamsburg. I'm not sure how much history I absorbed; I mostly remember a lot of candle-making demonstrations. But, forever after, summer, to me, has been the season for traveling back in time, either by hitting the road or, happily, hitting the books.
The Greater Journey: Americans In Paris
By David McCullough, hardcover, 576 pages, Simon & Schuster, list price: $37.50
David McCullough is about as dependable as they come if you're in the mood for a narrative history that sweeps you, through luscious detail and anecdote, into a bygone age. His beguiling new book is called The Greater Journey and it departs from works like 1776 and John Adams in that it digs deep, not into a historical event or personage, but, rather, into a cultural trend. Between 1830 and 1900, scores of young Americans with ambitions to be painters, architects, doctors and scientists sailed to the Old World to soak up the education the New World couldn't offer.
Or, as McCullough puts it: "Not all pioneers went west." Specifically they traveled to Paris. Some, like Mary Cassatt and Oliver Wendell Holmes, are familiar names; others, like the educator Emma Willard and Mary Putnam — the first American woman to graduate from a French medical school — are revelations. McCullough evokes a vision of early 19th-century Paris crowded with restaurants and gambling houses, but his greatest achievement is the realization he gives readers of how new America still was back then, sans medical schools and serious art academies. He writes of American travelers in the 1830s seeing their first glimpse of the medieval cathedral at Rouen. The Americans were agog, McCullough notes, because:
The largest building in the United States at the time was the Capitol in Washington. ... Even the most venerable houses and churches at home ... dated back only to the mid-17th century. So historic a landmark as Philadelphia's Independence Hall was not yet a hundred years old.
The Final Storm: A Novel Of The War In The Pacific
By Jeff Shaara, paperback, 480 pages, Ballantine Books, list price: $28
McCullough's book is essentially about building civilization; Jeff Shaara's novel, The Final Storm, is about destruction on an almost unfathomable scale. The Final Storm chronicles the Pacific campaign during World War II; it's the fourth in Shaara's series about the war and works both as a standalone novel and as the conclusion to that series. There are no post-modern literary tricks here; instead, Shaara is a master — in the Herman Wouk, Kenneth Roberts mode — of the kind of character-driven, plot-heavy page-turner that most of us think of when we think "historical novel."
In his introduction, Shaara reminds us of some of the staggering numbers of the Pacific Campaign: the two-week assault on Saipan resulted in 14,000 American deaths; Iwo Jima, 26,000 American casualties and only 300 Japanese prisoners taken alive out of the 20,000 defending the island. The Final Storm is a vivid literary addition to films like Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers — all of which underscore the peculiar brutalities and sometimes under-recognized sacrifices of the War in the Pacific.
Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education Of Two Society Girls In The West
By Dorothy Wickenden, hardcover, 304 pages, Simon & Schuster Adult, list price: $26, pub. date: June 21
My last recommendation is a potentially annoying one because readers will have to sit tight for a couple of weeks before they get their hands on Dorothy Wickenden's "alternative Western" called Nothing Daunted. But, I promise you, it's worth the wait. Wickenden, who is the executive editor of The New Yorker magazine, has written a superb biography that charts the adventures of her grandmother and her grandmother's best friend — society girls and Smith College graduates — who, in the summer of 1916, set out to become schoolteachers in the isolated settlement of Elkhead, Colo. Relying on photographs and letters that the women sent back to their anxious parents in Auburn, N.Y., Wickenden summons up the last moments of frontier life, where books were a luxury and, when blizzards hit, homesteader's children would ski miles to school on curved barrel staves. David McCullough may tell us that "Not all pioneers went west," but some unlikely ones sure did, and Nothing Daunted also reminds us that different strains of courage can be found, not just on the battlefield, but on the home front, too.

Toriko stands in a plain field waiting for a special someone.
- Approved bio here- http://narutobase.net/forums/showthr...5#post11468455
*Appears just behind you*
Now please tell me all ya know about our prestigous clan and abilities.
-how do you do that O _ O-
Well the clan was founded by Kuma who was blessed with paws on his hands. Kuma realized that the paws granted him special powers that was passed down along the generations. The special power that these paws hold is that they have the ability to push anything from objects to air around them at extraordinary speeds. The paws also allow the user to move at immense speeds by using the paws to push themselves at the desired location. The paws also have the ability to extract pain and exhaustion from a persons body. This is done by a member placing their paws on the patient, repelling the pain and exhaustion from their body.
good! Now tell me about the clan with respect to Narutobase.
You can check the clan description then tell me how you understand us.
Well in Narutobase the clan is located on the outskirts of Kirigakure, with sole purpose for serving themselves and only for themselves. In the clan their isn't actual ranks but in order to unlock the abilities they must undergo training from the leaders of the clan. At level one the user unlocks the ability to use their paws. At level two they are able to use more advance jutsu's in the clan, while at level three they are able to repel anything. The highest rank is the Bartholomew legend, who has the ability to repel exhaustion and pain from their body or from a fellow clan member.
*takes you to a nearby pool*
remove your gloves and concentrate chakra into your paws then try pushing the entire water so it moves into another location short range from you.
--its easy, you expunge air pressure from your paws while pushing the space closest to the water (this requires lots of concentration and aswell good timing) so it recieves enough pressure to move. the way you push the water, you are pushing it disregarding its loose lattices meaning you must try until you are able to move the pool of water as a whole.
Hmm this will be though. But I'm a Bartholomew, its in my blood
*Removes gloves*
I begin by channeling a large amount of chakra into my paws. I concentrate this chakra giving it a blueish glow. I place my paws near the waters surface, and begin to concentrate deeply. I take into consideration the amount of chakra that I need to expel and its power. I clear my mind and once I feel ready and the time is right, I channel out this stored chakra in a burst, causing it to shoot out from my paws. The chakra 'pushes'the water from its original location to the right side of me, still in short range.
Hey ! I think I done it
--The water barely moves--
Not good enough...Now *points to the forest of trees*
Now I want you to start repelling each tree one by one eating your way through the stems bit by bit till you fall all the trees..
You place your paw on the stem and just like punching a tree, you paw would just be enough to pack a normal punch as you chop the tree little by little till they fall..
now get to work.
Dammit. I need to focus more
After hearing the instructions, I enter a sumo like stance with my feet apart and both my paws stationed towards the trunk of the tree. I repeat the same process as last time. I channel a large amount of chakra into both my paws, readying myself for the attack. I place my paws on the trunk of the first tree while concentrating deeply. I imagine the punching action I would normally take, but in a different manner this time. Once ready, I move one paw forward, expelling pressure of built of chakra from it, causing the trunk of the tree to crack a bit. Seeing the result of the first paw, I bring my other paw towards the tree, also realizing the pressure of the chakra causing the first tree to weaken even more. I repeat this same action until the tree finally weakens and gives way, crashing down onto the ground.
Once the first tree has fallen, I move on to the second tree, I channel more chakra into my paws, and re enter the stance. I bring my right paw forward to the tree, causing more damage then last time, due to me knowing how much chakra I need to put into the chop. The first paw, deals so much damage, the second paw simply has to punch it once causing it to fall over. I repeat this samd action to the next tree's one by one.
now try and repel the earth beneath you, and what happens?
Hearing the instructions I get down into a sumo stance and place both my paws on the ground beneath me. I then channel my chakra to each palm, storing and focusing it. Once focused, I expel this stored chakra from my paws, creating a pressure of chakra from my paws and the surface of the ground.This built up pressure creates a repelling action, propelling me into the sky above.
good. now you are gEtting a hang of how to use your paws...
*takes you back to the previous pool of water*
It should'nt give you problems now...
I begin by removing my gloves revealing my paws. I channel and concentrate a large amount of chakra into my paws. I place my paws near the waters surface, and begin to concentrate deeply. I channel out this stored chakra from my paws, creating some sort of pressure between my paws and the water surface. I maintain expelling the chakra, pushing the area of water close to me. The high amount of pressure pushes the water from its original location in an arc motion to my left, still in short range.

you are getting somewhere lad..
*takes you to another dimension where a large boulder stands before us*
Now i want you to use your paw and push this boulder into a spot in long range. Try and be descriptive on how you do it and I will also do it for you so you have a clear understanding of it. ^^
How did I get here !!
No worries I guess its better than that other place we're at.
I begin by placing my right paw onto the boulder. I channel and focus my chakra into my paw, creating and building up a high amount of pressure. I focus and clear my mind, blocking out everything apart from me and the boulder. Once ready, I channel the stored chakra from my paw onto the surface of the boulder thus creating a high amount or air pressure between my paw and the boulder. My paw repels the boulder with the stored chakra, causing the boulder to be propelled into long range from us.
Great! But know that you are not actually pushing the boulder itself but the air around the boulder so it looks actually like you are actually pushing the boulder...Apparently you are also pushing the boulder..
Anything you want to ask me before we proceed?
Push the air around the boulder got it !
Let us continue !
remember, you would remove your gloves before using your paws and not actually are you bursting out chakra from your palm since a normal palm can do that especially the Hyugas gentle fist but our paw is our power and we only imbue chakra in it to use its power.
Having said that, its pressurized air that the paw discharges. See it like this, the paw has control over the air it touches and can push the air around it at extreme speed also it can create pressurized air from it which is very fast and strong. We will come to most of the parts one by one.
Paw Arts: Repel (Nykyujutsu: Oshi)
Rank: B
Type: Attack/Supplementary/Defense
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: This technique is a very simple technique that nearly all bartholomew clan
members can use. The user puts his paw on a
boulder(or if applicable one of the opponents
jutsu) and using the power of his paws he
repels the boulder. When this happens the
boulder goes off into the air behind the user instantly disappearing from view. The user can
choose the location of where he wants the
boulder to land(without stating it) and in 4
turns the boulder lands there. This technique
can be used for attacking by simply having the
rock come down and hit the opponent on the back of his head in 2 turns time. For defense
the user can have the boulder appear in front
of him to stop an opponents jutsu(Only B rank
and under).
~This is only an example of the techniques
usage, the ability of the paws is to repel anything. Obviously the user can't repel a
lightning, fire or wind jutsu without taking
damage, however if he wants, he can however
he takes 20 damage to his paws and he can't
use his paw abilities for 2 turns.
~This technique can't be used to teleport other people to desired locations.
~The boulder can be in the air for as long as
the user pleases. Meaning it could be more
than 24 turns if he wishes.
Take a look at the above. Its what we are aiming at and what we have been trying to achieve.
So I want you to study it critically and give me 3 comprehensive and creative way you can use this.... with details.
What do you see about it, is it helpful? Would there be any Pros and Cons?
Well the actual jutsu is really helpful and creative due to it allowing you to repel a opponents attack and throw it back at them without them knowing in x amount of turns. Aswell as a attack the jutsu can be used as a defense for example, if your opponent would use a earth jutsu that attacks you with a boulder of earth, you can repel it into the air. Once the opponent would use another jutsu, you could bring the boulder back down, blocking the projectiles path, defending you from it.
The jutsu carries pro's and con's. The positive side to it is that you can repel B rank and under jutsu's and that the jutsu can work over twenty four turns meaning its really effective. The cons however is that it can't be used on fire,wind or lightning jutsu's due to its intangibility. The paws also take 20 damage and the user can't
use his paw abilities for 2 turns.
Actually you only gave me back the whole description of the jutsu. think outside the box even if not perfect what you think of the jutsu
Again you can actual repel the opponent's jutsu or a normal object(rock, dummy, weapon or even your own stone golem, etc) upwards and make them disappear from view then you have them come down to your defence or attack in many turns after even when the opponent have forgotten you sent something away. And the beauty of it. You don't need to say where it would land until the time you want it to come. It comes as a suprise package.
You can do the same to your foe's jutsu except the intangible ones making them disappear and attack them some turns after...
Understood !
Okay! now
Paw arts: Slapping thrust pressure cannon
(Nykyujutsu: Tsuppari Pad Hō)
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Short-mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: Bartholomew clan members first
plant both their feet firmly on the ground by
means of a sumo-style foot stomp. Then,
throwing their palms forward multiple times,
they fire a vast number of "pressure shots" at the enemy. The way they push their palms
forward and the stance they take while
performing this technique resemble those used commonly in sumo wrestling. Tsuppari is a thrusting open-handed strike about the upper chest and face, a technique in Sumo. ~3 times per battle
~no paw arts 2 turns after usage
~The pressure shots move extremely fast, only sharingan of 3 tomo can predict them or any other sensoring ability.
~Because The stance is sumo-style one must remain completely still to preform this
technique. Leaving him/her open to attack.
~only three tomo sharingan can predict and
avoid the pressure shots.
This needs you to use your whole body and limbs as a pivot and balance. You balance yourself plant both your feet firmly on the ground making a stance similar to that of sumo style. Then pressurized air would be shot from both paws while jabbing at the air infront. The air is extremely fast that only sharingan 3 tomoe can react to it though byakugan and sensors can see it.
The pressurized air would punch hole into things and like unnoticeable before the damage is done.
Now I want you to perform this correctly and tell me how you think the damage would look like.
has it any pro or con?
have you any other way of using it creatively?
I begin by planting both my feet firmly on the ground, while bending my knees slightly entering a sumo like stance. Once my feet are both firmly o the ground, I gather a large amount of chakra in my paws while maintaining the position of my feet. Once the chakra is gathered, I retract one of my paws and release the stored chakra from the paws, shooting out from it in the shape of a paw. Once one paw is shot, I do the same to my other paw shooting out the stored chakra. Once I get the hang of it, I fire the chakra in a quick succession.
The damage would be more of a blunt action then a piercing, due to the large surface area of the paws. If the paws hit the torso of a person, it would cause internal damage such as bleeding or broken bones and damaged internal organs. It comes with pros and cons. The pros side would be the fact that the pressure shots travel at a extremely fast rate that can only be tracked by a 3T or sensing ability. Cons wold be the restriction of the amount of times we could use it, the fact that we can't use any paw arts for two turns and the stance we have to take.
I would use this jutsu as a opening. I would fool my opponent by pretending to stretch my arms and legs while fake punching the air. Once ready I will enter the stance and begin the jutsu. He won't think its a jutsu due to him thinking its simply a warm up. The fact that its untraceable by normal eyes makes it even better since he wont see it coming.
Nice, However the air shot can work as a bullet and because of their speed, they are able to pass through a large tree meaning they also have piercing power. And they ain't large as you describe, its the exact size of your paws.
Any question?
Oh right. No questions ^^

New Set Report Previews End of Half-Blood Prince and the Hunt for the HorcruxesHBP Film
There is a new set report online tonight for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince contained in the new issue of The Observer Film Quarterly. Found in both the print editions of the Guardian and now online tonight, this report contains a new photo of Evanna Lynch (Luna) and Dan Radcliffe (Harry) preparing to shoot a scene for HBP, possibly the arrival at Hogwarts which you can see via this link.
The set report, while quite lengthy, is very well worth the read, containing many new interviews with those such as David Heyman (on JKR: "was very much the same then as she is now: funny, irreverent, compassionate, kind, generous. Very discreet and private. Damn! She's hard to punch holes in ..." ) and David Yates on finishing Potter ("my commitment to Potter is absolute. First of all it's my job to make sure we go out with a bang and, as the Americans would say, put on a show") as well as new insights into the making of the sixth Harry Potter film. Of interest is a new line from the film, possibly at the very end of the movie as Hermione and Harry discuss the need to hunt for the Horcruxes. The article begins by recounting this scene as actress Emma Watson is having trouble with her line. The piece then reads:
"I've said the wrong lines." She frowns at her script. "Can we sort this out?" She looks down from the astronomy tower at director David Yates. He gently guides her through the scene in which her character, Hermione, is talking to Harry Potter about Voldemort's soul. Harry looks very serious. "I'm not coming back, Hermione ... I have to finish what Dumbledore started." Action stops again. Watson focuses on the script. Yates and Daniel Radcliffe discuss Harry's frame of mind...Yates talks him through it. "Harry's in a cold, dark place at the moment, but I would caution against melancholy ... you've got to make sure Harry's not weighty but more fluid, freer."
Later the author speaks to Dan Radcliffe about that scene, getting the following answer: "I ask about Yates cautioning against melancholy when Harry and Hermione were up on the astronomy tower and Radcliffe laughs. "The Half-Blood Prince is funnier than the previous books, which has given me the reins to be a bit more stupid. But I actually prefer doing the slightly darker side of stuff. I'm not so comfortable with being funny. One of David Yates's jobs on this film is to make me see that it's not always about the darkness in the scene; I have in my head that darkness in a character equals credibility and of course that's not the case."

It's difficult to gauge how far the Broncos' have come since early-season losses, but using each week to improve could carry them a long way.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he's encouraged by the way Troy Polamalu played against the Ravens on Sunday.||||||| It was the safety's first game in almost two months, and he could see a heavier workload on Sunday against the Chargers.
Polamalu will miss his fourth game of the season Sunday with a strained right calf.||||||| Polamalu said Wednesday he remains optimistic he won't be sidelined for a significant amount of time. Polamalu lasted one quarter in the Steelers' 16-14 win over Philadelphia earlier this month before aggravating his strained right calf.
Polamalu was active for Sunday's game against Baltimore.||||||| Polamalu had played just five quarters all season after injuring the calf in the opener at Denver and aggravating the injury against the Eagles on Oct. 7.
Polamalu practiced in full Friday and is expected to play Sunday versus Philadelphia.||||||| Polamalu's calf injury has heeled well enough for him to see significant time Sunday.
Polamalu and linebacker James Harrison did not take part in the Steelers' final practice of the week and will not play Sunday at Oakland.||||||| The defensive standouts - named to a combined 12 Pro Bowls - will not dress for the second consecutive game. Harrison, who had surgery on his left knee Aug. 15, has not played yet this season. Polamalu missed last week's win over the New York Jets due to a calf injury.

CATEGORIES Drama, Music & Musicals, Shorts, Johnny Depp, War, Western, Trailers and Clips, Trailers and Clips, CinematicalIf you haven't ever read Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," you've surely been exposed to it in one way or another. Maybe you saw a copy of it on Lost or experienced its influence on films like Donnie Darko and Jacob's Ladder. Perhaps you saw Robert Enrico's 1962 short film adaptation, which won an Oscar and a prize at Cannes before being aired on TV as an episode of The Twilight Zone (watch it free here). Other versions include a silent film by King Vidor, an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and now a music video directed by Johnny Depp for the band Babybird, which is basically a short film adaptation of the story if you remove the shots of singer Stephen Jones.
I'm not too keen on the song, but it's great to see more behind-the-camera work from the Pirates of the Caribbean star. No stranger to the music video format, he's appeared in many as either a musician or actor, and he's also directed a few for his partner, Vanessa Paradis. Depp also directed a 1992 short documentary about Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante called Stuff and the 1997 feature The Brave, in which he co-starred with Marlon Brando. Currently he's working on a feature documentary about his Pirates pop (and inspiration), Keith Richards. Now, wouldn't it be crazy if that film's ending is inspired by Bierce's story and we finally learn that the Rolling Stones guitarist has actually been dead (living dead, that is) for years?
Check out the Depp-directed music video for Babybird's "Unloveable" after the jump:

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring, organic, sulfur-containing compound related to another sulfur-containing substance, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). MSM is found in small amounts throughout nature and has been detected in small amounts in the blood and urine of humans.
Where is it found?A precursor of MSM is formed initially by ocean plankton and released into the atmosphere, where it interacts with ozone and sunlight and returns to earth as MSM in rainfall. MSM can be taken up by plants and incorporated into their structure, but no measurement of the MSM content of foods has been done. Supplements containing MSM are available.

Oh, really?? What 'mall' is that??
Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton doesn't have any 'townhouses' across from it.
Could you be tryin' to start somethin'??
on Jun 3, 2011 at 7:49 am
unclehomerr, there are two sets of townhouses/condos across the street from the mall. They start at Stoneridge and Springdale. There's a very nice greenbelt area there, full of lovely trees and a creek with an attractive bridge going over it. You should check it out sometime.
I can see you didn't like my comment, but, no, I'm not fabricating a community in Pleasanton, that has been there at least since the early 80s, in an effort to 'be tryin' to start somethin.'

Top 5 Sherry at the LCBO
Alvear Medium Dry, Montilla Morilles
Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez, Spain. After fermentation is complete, sherry is fortified with brandy. Because the fortification takes place after fermentation, most sherries are initially dry, with any sweetness being added later. Sherry is produced in a variety of styles, ranging from dry, light versions such as Finos to much darker and sometimes sweeter versions known as Olorosos.

2 cloves garlic, sliced

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

HI Paula, I am always looking for a pizza crust that I can eat that is gluten free and low carb. I think this will fit the bill. Thanks for being the wonderful person that you are.
By Cindy on February 07, 2014
Oh my goodness! I made this about a week ago for my husband and mother-in-law. It was soooooooo good! I put it out to my FB friends and everyone thought it looked great! Many were going to try it. Thank you so much for a great pizza!

By Jamie Kimmer on December 23, 2013
This turned out great! My whole family loved it and ate it right up! I followed this recipe exactly, and I didn't have any trouble with the crust turning out mushy- I did use the parchment paper, and lightly sprayed it with the non-stick spray. I'm wondering if the crust would hold together ok, though, if I were to use slightly less cheese, just to make it lower in fat.
By Hannah on December 21, 2013
I have been wanting to try this recipe and we were just amazed at how wonderful it came out!! Some of the reviews complained about it being too wet. I put cauliflower in microware dry and it came out perfect. I added this to my keepers list. Thanks Paula we love it!
By Sallie on November 09, 2013
this was yummy and kids ate it (not very picky kids thought - but regular pizza was served along side). I did add garlic and oregano. Could someone tell my why it was a bit soggy. Should I cook it longer or just on the paper - with out a pizza pan?? (I did use frozen cauliflower).

So I have not made this yet, but just read another cauliflower pizza crust recipe. The one thing they did, which I do not see Paula doing, is after microwaving the cauliflower they squeezed the excess what out of it, or put it in a towel and wrung it out. You are left with a pulpy, very dry cauliflower. I think I will try blending the best from both recipes and see what I come up with. Excited to try!
By Deanna on September 21, 2013
Paula this pizza is fantastic thank you for one more great recipe I made today
By Adel on August 31, 2013
cauliflower crust on the mushy side. it sweated on the parchment paper like crazy. had to take out of paper and bake it again, and it didnt hold up well, it was in pieces after 2nd baking. had to cook longer, couldnt achieve a crisp crust. this is a good recipe, but cooking that crust to perfect is not easy.
By G on August 17, 2013
After 10 minutes it looked a little mushy like some of the comments i'v seen so I grabbed another baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flipped it over and cooked it for another 5-10 minutes and it dried out!

my crust was mushy [ i made it pretty thin] and when i tried to cut the pizza it rolled up with the cheese. i followed the recipe exactly except for the parchment paper. i am not sure what i did wrong. any ideas? thanks,

I am going to try your Cauliflower Pizza crust for the first time with my sister tomorrow, and am excited to try this new dish. I already shared the recipe with my Weight Watcher's group while at home. On another note, it disturbs me, as well as many of my friends that the radical media is nailing you for a comment that was made over 20 years ago, yet the President of the US with his 'image' world wide can embarrass us with his behavior, lies and immoral behavior. Please know that the majority of your follower and non followers as well, are NOT backing that philosophy. We are still behind you Paula!!! Sincerely, Mary Koebler
By Mary Koebler on July 05, 2013
If I made this without the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese in the crust would it prevent the crust from hardening / thickening like it is suppose to?
By nicole on June 24, 2013
If I left out the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese would the crust still thicken / harden like it is suppose to?

A skirt is a great for all sorts of occasions from work to playl. At style is…, we have a great selection from a designer skirt for a special occasion to a casual style that will look great with tights and boots for a walk in the countryside.
For a party, check out a skirt by Edun, the designer fashion label of rock star Bono and his wife Ali Hewson, the range features flattering draped shapes and chic prints. For holidays and leisurely strolls along the beach, Seasalt Cornwall have some great skirts which feature fun prints and a classic a line shape. For the ultimate in rock chic, look out for vintage and second hand skirts from Oxfam or Urban Renewal. People Tree also have a good choice of skirts from the feminine and floaty to retro and on trend.
Choose carefully for a style of skirt that will flatter and compliment your body shape. Pear shaped ladies will look great in a line skirts whilst a peplum skirt is a great way to create curves.
You should also choose the right top to balance out your skirt. For a tight fitting pencil skirt add a loose fit high necked top for a long and volumnous a line skirt, go for a more fitted style of top and heels to give your outfit a modern feel.
A printed skirt will look really up to the minute if worn with a clashing printed top but you could also go for a plain and simple camisole top for a more classic look.
A vintage leather skirt is a brave but on trend look. Contrast the racy leather with a more prim and proper blouse for an outfit that you could even wear to the office (depending on the office that you work in of course!) Motel Rocks have a range of leather circle skirts that have been created using panels from vintage leather jackets and coats.
Skirts are a particularly popular choice at the moment for fashionistas who want to make a style statement from bright and bold colours and prints to volumous shapes and interesting textures. A skirt is a great focal point for an outfit.

What, then, is the point of a pilgrimage, by foot, across hundreds of miles that connect villages, farms, churches, and strangers, if not to improve the self? Options might include: a cardiovascular upgrade, blisters, escape, or enlightenment. Or what else might the walker hope to gain?

FROM THE VAULT: Webinar – Security, Governance & Integration in a Cloud-Connected World presented with Red Hat
Enterprise IT is becoming more complex. Companies are investing in systems that promise great benefits in terms of connectivity and cost-effectiveness but, to really make the most of these investments, they need control over and visibility into how systems connect across departments, environments and locations. Introduce the Cloud and things can get really complicated.
This summer, we presented a webinar that addressed these specific issues. Created in association with Red Hat, Security, Governance & Integration in a Cloud-Connected World provided deep insight into how enterprises can address integration, management and security challenges arising from technologies like SOA and Cloud.
With input from Pierre Fricke, Director of SOA Products at Red Hat, as well as Jaime Ryan, our Partner Solutions Architect, this webinar proposed combining an enterprise service bus with a SOA Gateway to create a secure, standards-based system for governing integrations that cross organizational boundaries. You can stream the full recording in the player below.

Shopping for groceries can be enjoyable for some (like me) but a daunting and dreaded task for others. It is time-consuming and requires a great deal of preparation but as we all know, it is something that needs to be done. How then, can we make it an easy job? Here are some tips:
Plan and make a list. If you are thinking of cooking a specific recipe, write down the ingredients that you need to buy. It does not matter if you are shopping for a large or small family. Making a list before leaving your home is a great time and money saver. A multiple trip to the grocery store is not only expensive but also time consuming and you can avoid such waste of resources just by planning your shopping and making a list before you go. I have a very small family and yet, I still my grocery shopping list is still long. There are plenty of recipes I want to try and most of the groceries in my list are food related. Aside from that, I use two different cooking oils, varied liquids for sauces as well as powder mixes. My pantry is quite full but there are times that I have not prepared for shopping and when it's time to cook something, I discover that I am missing an important ingredient.
Shop when it's off peak. Obviously, rush times are weekends as well as 5 to 7 PM. You can avoid the long lines and crowded grocery shops if you visit the store when it is not busy. I usually do my grocery shopping early in the morning. I enjoy the relatively serene store where I can leisurely go from aisle to aisle without bumping into any cart or waiting for someone to finish choosing an item from the shelf before I can finally get mine. There is a shorter line or no line at all and I get home without feeling anxious and tired from all the shopping.
Avoid the line and rush and hassle by shopping online. You can easily fill your pantry with all the grocery items you need with several clicks and typing on your part. Clueless on where to buy the best grocery products in state, you can try online searches like Colorado springs classifieds if you are within the area. There are plenty of free services that point you the right online shops if you only spend time to search for them. Aside from groceries, you can also find other products and merchandise and even services using online classifieds. A friend of mine recently bought a gadget with the help of an online Memphis classifieds.
Modern moms these days face a busy and very challenging life, juggling work and domestic responsibilities. No matter how minor, grocery shopping takes a huge chunk of our time and energy. It pays to know that we can do something to make this task easy. Moreover, we are grateful for the help that the Internet provides in order to make grocery shopping a less daunting chore.

Lets hope that Gov. Pat McCrory, now in the throes of his first legislative session as chief executive, just got a little carried away in a radio interview with bombastic Bill Bennett, former education secretary under Ronald Reagan and a media voice from the Republican right wing. Bennett is a hunter; his game of choice is pointy-headed liberals he deems to be in control of American higher education.
Tuesday morning, he lured Gov. McCrory into the duck blind and loaned him a bird gun.
Sounding very much like Bennett himself, McCrory said, I think some of the educational elite have taken over our education where we are offering courses that have no chance of getting people jobs.
Bennett had made light, or perhaps thats dark, of gender studies courses at UNC-Chapel Hill, a top school offering a broad array of courses in the sciences and also in ... careful now ... liberal arts. The governor, as The News & Observers Under the Dome reported, seemed eager to cast his lot with Burly Bill, saying, Thats a subsidized course. If you want to take gender studies, thats fine, go to a private school and take it. But I dont want to subsidize that if thats not going to get someone a job.
Whoa. If all courses in higher education, at the public schools anyway, have to pass some sort of quantitative test to justify their existence, curricula may be changing minute to minute. But theres really no way to do that.
Links to workplace
The governor seems to be saying that all courses should be aimed at the job market. Leaving aside for a minute the impracticality of that idea, consider that English majors go into brokerage houses, and business majors go to the Peace Corps and, these days, many people are working outside their academic specialties. A course of study in college reflects, or should, a well-balanced approach that will give any student a broad-based education with a major of particular interest. But thats no guarantee that the student will follow that major into the workplace, or should.
The truth is, university graduates ought to be prepared enough to consider more than one option. And the idea of a good education is to teach people to think.
But the governor seemed, on Bennetts show at least, to believe that higher education funding should be dictated by the expressed needs of the business community. He said, for example, that, Im going to adjust my education curriculum to what business and commerce needs to get our kids jobs as opposed to moving back in with their parents after they graduate with debt, he said.
He even went so far as to say funding for the UNC system and for the states highly respected community colleges would be not based on how many butts in seats but how many of those butts can get jobs.
That sort of colorful comment doesnt exactly polish North Carolinas image as a progressive state. And it rests on a fallacy that whats lacking arent jobs, but qualifications. Tell that to the states unemployed CPAs, people with MBAs and lawyers. And tell it to the community college graduates who got trained in technical skills and still cant find work.
Chapel Hill bashing
Its hard to figure what gallery McCrory is playing to here, but his comments sound like gratuitous criticism of the university system and perhaps that bastion of liberal thought, UNC-Chapel Hill. The university has long been a target of conservatives (Jesse Helms loved to go a few rounds with Chapel Hill on a regular basis). And its true as well that on almost every campus, there are courses of questionable merit. But a university education is in part about taking risks here and there.
Trying to link academic funding to the ever-changing and currently very tight job market sounds like a formula for trouble. It also sounds like a governor and a General Assembly taking charge of university curricula, which would constitute, liberal or conservative, an infringement on academic freedom.
The governor would be wise to consider that the UNC system has produced a well-educated work force over many generations and represents an investment that delivers big returns to the state in many ways. The system is working. The governor should not succumb to political opportunists who want us to believe it isnt.

The year: 1983.
Then, as now, it was a tumultuous time. The globe had been in the grip of recession, the middle east was unstable, and if you wanted to take a Tylenol to just deal with the headaches day-to-day life brought, you still were a little wary of the recent potassium cyanide poisoning.
And the whisky industry was in the height of the whisky glut. The whisky industry faced its own set of austerity measures: A severe cutback in production, with many distilleries closed. We've seen some come back since then, but ten distilleries were shut and are unlikely ever to return, especially with a trend towards consolidating production at mega-distilleries.
Over the next several weeks, I will be looking at a sample of each whisky. I'd planned this tasting a couple years ago (and fortunately at that time many of these were cheaper to acquire). As the time drew near to do this tasting, it seemed wasteful and gluttonous to hoard this whisky strictly to myself. Several friends have gotten in on this tasting and you may hear other impressions from them as this tasting progresses.
The ten distilleries that were lost in 1983 that we'll likely never see a new whisky from are Banff, Brechin (North Port), Brora, Dallas Dhu, Glen Albyn, Glen Mhor, Glenlochy, Glenugie, Port Ellen, St. Magdalene (Linlithgow). Some of these are relatively common (though increasingly pricey); some of these have all but vanished. I've had some of these before and some will be new.
This is not an exercise in flash, superiority, or any sort of whisky elitism. It's a theme tasting I've wanted to execute for a while, and the time has come. My goals for this will be twofold: To have, if nothing else, a "last word" on some of these for myself (accepting that I may already be priced out of future editions), as well as to try and compare these to modern malts as a base of reference. As we know, distillery character can be very distinctive and some distilleries are just one of a kind.
Distillery #1: St. Magdalene – Lowland
Ultimate fate: Converted to apartment buildings
Also known as Linlithgow (for the town it is located in), St. Magdalene is unique in this tasting as the only Lowland distillery. The bottle representing St. Magdalene is the 2009 Dun Bheagan bottling, distilled in October 1982. It's 26 years old, and comes from cask 2219. Many reviews of this bottle exist online and, yes, you can still find this bottle for sale.
The nose on this is light and somewhat floral, with a touch of confectioner's sugar. It's got a certain white wine sourness to it which dissipates after some time in the glass. It has light wood influence, peppery spice, and some lemony notes emerge. With even more time in the glass, vanilla starts to come out a bit, as does a very faint touch of leather. All in all, a relatively light nose for a 26 year old whisky.
The palate enters a touch bitter from the wood; it gives way quite quickly to a general maltiness and some white pepper. There's a faintly floral top note and then the heat picks up. Subsequent sips reveal some lemon curd and ginger – actually probably the most distinctly gingery taste I think I've ever gotten from any whisky.
The finish is dry initially with a touch of wood, some white pepper and plenty of malt. A little vanilla is there; there's a hay quality to it and some straight-up barley. It goes to a slightly root-vegetable note at the end, in a long and lasting finish.
This whisky isn't one I'm particularly crazy about; the sourness on the nose and the questionable cask influence didn't work for me particularly well. Other bloggers have noted this whisky is one that can be hit or miss from session to session. I can certainly believe it – I wasn't enjoying the bitter and winey notes, but the lemon and ginger (and overall quality with substantial time in the glass) were nice.. just not nice enough to overcome all the negative qualities I perceived.
What's like this? Hard to say, because I haven't ever had anything with quite a pronounced (to my palate) ginger note. I'll keep looking; unfortunately this one seems fairly unique to me. I'd love to hear what anyone thinks about this one.
St. Magdalene is regarded as one of the better closed distilleries, and I must confess after my first contact with it that I'm not entirely sure I get it. I have at least one other bottle in reserve for the future, so that may be the eye-opener.
Next week, the 1983 series moves to the Highlands.
At a glance:
St. Magdalene – Dun Bheagan 10-82 – 2009 (26y) #2219 50% ABV
Nose: Light, somewhat floral with a touch of confectioner's sugar. Also a bit white wine-like. A little wood, some light peppery spice; lemony notes emerge. Over time more vanilla emerges; a faint touch of leather too.
Palate: Enters a touch bitter from the wood; gives way rather quickly to maltiness and some white pepper. A faintly floral top note and the heat picks up. A little lemon curd and a touch of ginger.
Finish: Dry initially, a touch of wood, some white pepper and plenty of malt; a touch of vanilla, a little hay and some straight-up barley. Has a slightly root vegetable note at the end. Quite lasting.
Comment: This benefits greatly from some time open in the glass. To me it starts a bit sour and weird but the air really brings it into focus. While it does develop nicely, it also doesn't quite develop enough.
Rating: B-

The University of Maine student group Engineers Without Borders-UMaine (EWB-UMaine) was named Sunday the winner of the Newman's Own Foundation Campus Community Service Challenge, which comes with a top prize of $25,000. The award was announced at America East Conference Basketball Championship tournament in Hartford, Conn.
EWB-UMaine won the challenge for its project in Dulce Vivir, Honduras, where the group is working to implement a student-designed community sanitation system. The poor sanitation conditions in Dulce Vivir limit economic opportunities of its 120 residents and cause environmental and health concerns.
"This award gives our students the opportunity to make even more of an impact with their global outreach efforts," said Robert Dana, UMaine vice president for student affairs, who attended Sunday's announcement with members of EWB-UMaine. "The national recognition also is a tribute to our students' selfless efforts, pursuing service for the greater good. In this case, the work of UMaine Engineers Without Borders is life-changing for the communities in which they work."
EWB-UMaine, which was founded in 2007 and is made up of students and their professional mentors, has been working for four years with Dulce Vivir residents, consulting with the community on its priorities, collecting information needed for the system design and developing contacts needed to ensure the project's success.
The Newman's Own Foundation Campus Community Service Challenge was developed to encourage the practice of philanthropy among younger generations, specifically on college campuses. The challenge is a competition among the nine member universities of the America East Conference with one student group, partnered with a local nonprofit, chosen from each university to participate in the challenge.
Each university's entry receives a grant of at least $5,000. In 2010, the first year of the Newman's Own competition, UMaine's Bodwell Center for Service and Volunteerism's Black Bear Mentor Program finished in third place and won a $10,000 prize.
Last year, the UMaine Welcome Weekend Day of Service and Maine Hello move-in initiatives received honorable mention and $7,500. Grant recommendations were based on the student groups' involvement with their chosen nonprofit, and the impact of the partnership on those served by the nonprofit as well as on the students themselves.
For more information, see a news release on the America East website.

Westside Flyer
---- — The City's Department of Public Works (DPW) recently announced that four of its seven Fleet Service shops were awarded Auto Service Excellence (ASE) — Blue Seal certification by the National Institute for Auto Service.
The city's Riverside Light Equipment Repair, Riverside Heavy Equipment Repair, Belmont Light Equipment Repair, and Riverside Body Shop teams received this prestigious certification. To be ASE certified, 75 percent of shop employees must earn ASE certification for the vehicles they service.
"Earning ASE certification is no simple undertaking for any shop, and our entire city should be proud of this accomplishment by our Fleet Services division," DPW Director Lori Miser said.
"With a fleet of over 3,000 vehicles, this certification demonstrates the high-quality team of service technicians working on our equipment, allowing us to better serve the residents of Indianapolis."
The Indianapolis Fleet Services division (IFS) has 80 shop employees, and 50 have one or more ASE certifications — totaling 433 separate certifications. Seventeen of those 50 employees have one or more Master Certifications. To qualify for a Master Certification, technicians must pass a series of tests and document at least two years of hands-on experience. Among these 17 employees, IFS has 28 separate Master Certifications.

The world famous Port wine, the typical alleyways and the picturesque "zona ribeirinha" on the River Douro are all good reasons to visit Porto, and the city has even more to offer …
Porto is the second biggest city in Portugal and has been placed on UNESCO's list of world heritage sites. It is situated on steep granite hills and provides a view of the River Douro. The city centre is a jumble of narrow nineteenth century lanes and alleyways. Porto's main tourist attraction is the Vila Nova de Goia district, which is the historic birthplace of Port wine.
Porto has a large number of sights with religious connotations that are certainly worth a visit. They include Sé, a 13th-century cathedral, and Igreja de São Fransisco, a gothic church with rococo influences. Torre dos Clérigos, a 75-metre-high tower from the 18th century, is also worth a visit. From the top of this tower, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city of Porto.

Town Square
Fair Attendance Down Again
Original post made by John Barry on Jun 22, 2011
Attendance at the Danville Fine Arts Faire [sic] for the past three years appears to be a reflection of the sour economy that continues to grip the state and country. Four or five years ago, the Faire featured sidewalk-to-sidewalk people. On Saturday I was able to ride my bike down the street past booths and hardly have to hit the brakes.
Sunday was Father's Day, and that may have diluted the crowds somewhat, but Saturday's attendance was relatively sparse as well. In reality mainly a crafts event, the Faire's fare calls for primarily discretionary purchases, which tend to soften when the fins hit the fan.
Another sign of the economic times is the disappearance from Hartz Avenue of the Kevin Milligan Gallery--whose space is now occupied by a shoe store. Milligan is allegedly opening another location, but for now at least, the only remaining downtown art gallery is the city-run Village Theater Gallery, which rarely exhibits the work of local artists.
In the apparently unlikely event that the California economy is ever taken off life support (at least State Controller John Chiang has stopped payments to our feckless legislators), perhaps the arts will begin to flourish locally.

Honestly, I think it may be Danville thats the issue. The fine arts fair in Lafayette this year was packed with people purchasing fine art. It was like walking around disneyland.
The 'Village Art Gallery' is non existent to the public (the public I've spoken to) and to most the local artists.
The town of Danville or Chamber of Commerse should open the books to reveal the true success of the event for the artists who pay for the booths.
on Jun 24, 2011 at 12:29 pm
I don't think it is the economy, bad as it is, I think it is the vendors. I have been to many Street Art fairs, in Utah (Park City) and in California. They have been packed with people. But they have interesting vendors who make and sell interesting things. Danville's vendors haven't changed for years and there is nothing new to look at and purchase. I love to come walk down the street to see what is available. This year, as it was last year also, there was nothing new and unique that prompted a purchase.

I'm not familiar with the art scene in Danville, but local Danville artist Hongmei Lu's work Web Link is still on exhibit at the Lindsay Dirkx Brown Gallery in the San Ramon Community Center. Her exhibit closes this Wednesday, so art lovers should take a trip down here to catch it before it is gone. Be sure to go upstairs where she has some reasonably priced floral works and a couple of paintings of a Mount Diablo.

I need some help with my UV light. Is there a way to test the balast for a UV lamp. I thought the lamp had burned out but the new one doesn't work either. After being plugged in for a while the balast is warm, not hot, but the lamp won't glow. (Yes, the outlet has voltage. No circuit tripped.)
The balast has 110/120 vac in, a red & blue to one end of the lamp. And a white & yellow to the other end of the lamp. (sorry, pretty colors are the only specs I have)
Thanks in advance.

Pat Barry Talks The Deadliest Fighter Alive..A Mother
Aaron Tru from MMAprime.tv caught up with UFC fighter Brandon "The Truth" Vera this week. Vera discussed his last fight against Shogun Rua, which was arguably the fight of the year and one of the most fan friendly fights in recent memory. Vera talks about an accidental injury after a trip to Hawaii, where he blew out his MCL during training. He expects to be out another 6 weeks before going back to hard training. For those who do not remember when Brandon Vera debuted inside of the Octagon, he was thought to have been a title contender in both the 205lbs light heavyweight division and the 205-265lbs heavyweight division. During that period, Vera had a unique swagger and aura of confidence surrounding him. Even though Vera lost the battle to Shogun Rua, he proved his warrior spirit and heart, fighting on when he could have quit and putting on a show for the fans till the bitter end when he suffered a tko defeat at the hands of the former Pride and UFC Champion Rua. That battle brought out the old Vera; the one who had that aura of confidence and swagger. Vera makes sure to let all of the 205lbs light heavyweight division know that that are on notice, because he is back and coming for them! All of a sudden, Pat "HD" Barry walks by and we had to invite him into the discussion. Barry had just cornered a fighter in the semi finals of the Bellator Tournament against a fighter from Brandon Vera's gym. Barry, regarded as the #1 corner man in MMA according to the UG faithful still had the adrenaline going from having literally been the corner man for a split decision victory within 5 minutes of the interview at the most, gave us a raw, uncut and real look into the emotions of a corner man. Pat Barry is then asked about people mentioning his name as a fighter who could step up to face Mark Hunt or another heavyweight on the UFC 160 card now that Overeem is injured and off the card against JDS. Barry offers to not only fight me, but to fight anyone at anytime. Barry continues on to say that he does not want to fight Mark Hunt, Brandon Vera or anyone else, but as a man and a fighter he will. Barry claims to have sensitive, female like hands, but we all know that he is really one of the most deadly and powerful punchers on earth. Barry proves to be a genuine person, who speaks from the heart and is caring of others. The opposite of a tough guy, thus proving the age old saying, that tough guys don't act tough. Having both Vera and Barry together, I asked them about their significant others: Brandon Vera is the husband of Kerry Vera, who is 2-0 in her undefeated campaign as a WMMA fighter and Pat Barry is boyfriend of rising WMMA star Rose "Thug" Namajunus. Both men are huge supporters of WMMA and go into detail about how they feel it will continue to grow and take off. They talk about how a mother is the most deadly thing on earth. Barry is such a fan of the movement and sport that he is so bold as to say, "If you aren't a fan of Invicta, get out of my face!"

Addicted Cardle 'could have died' (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)

Addicted Cardle 'could have died'
2:19pm Sunday 2nd February 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Former X Factor winner Matt Cardle has said he could have died if he had not spent the last month in rehab.
The singer checked into a clinic after breaking down in front of his family on Boxing Day due to his addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs.
He told the Sun on Sunday: "The doctor said to me if I'd been left to my own devices for another three or four weeks I might not be here now."
The 30-year-old said he initially took the anti-anxiety pill Valium to conquer his fear of flying but went on to lose control.
"I didn't have my wits about me to even count how many I'd taken," he said. "It was a lethal situation.
"Towards the end I was so out of it. I was asking people around me how many pills they'd seen me eat."
Cardle broke down in tears when his nephew gave him a present on Boxing Day, and the following day he checked in to the Priory clinic in Chelmsford, Essex, after his brother urged him to get professional help.
After receiving four weeks of treatment he said he wanted to warn other people about the effects of mixing pills and alcohol.
"I want to use what happened to me in a positive way to raise awareness of the dangers," he said.

Online Giving
Give Online!
You can give your tithes, offerings or other designated gifts easily and securely online.
Give Now: Trinity Baptist Church Online Giving
View Your Giving History
We have closed our previous online giving systems (ServiceU and The City). If you haven't already, please use the link below for future online giving and follow the steps below if you are giving for the first time.
Using the new online giving system for the first time:
1. Visit the new giving page and sign up to create your account.
Go here: Trinity Baptist Church Online Giving and click "sign up" in the bottom right corner. The old online giving you may have been using (ServiceU & The City) will be discontinued in a few weeks, so this step is important. (If you need to, click here to view a video we made that walks you through the simple steps.
2. Automate your giving.
While you can make a one-time gift, anytime, We'd like to encourage EVERYONE to set up automated giving on a schedule of your choosing. By automating your giving, you won't have to come back and login continually to give. Pastor Messer shared this phrase recently, and we think it is a great principle that could help many of you – Automate The Important!
3. Select your payment type and view your giving records.
The final screen will allow you to pay by credit/debit card or by e-check. While either option works great, please know that the e-check option is cheaper to process, meaning more of your gift goes to ministry and not credit card processing fees. Once you've completed you gift, you'll be able to view your giving records.
We hope this new tool is a helpful change for you, and we sincerely appreciate your support of our ministry. If you have questions about setting this up, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
