My kids loved these muffins and so did I. I only used cinnamon not the other spices and I did not sprinkle sugar on top. They were almost all gone before they cooled!

These cupcakes were so good.

I made these for a Labor Day snack. They were delicious. I didn't have cloves so I used pumpkin pie spice instead and omitted the powder sugar. They were full of flavor and no one could eat just one!

They want us to step with trepidation. They want to break our spirits. They want us to stop. They want to change everything.
Whoever planned the attacks on the Boston Marathon hasn't met many marathoners.
An otherwise perfect spring day in Boston was transformed into something ugly Monday. The joyous and triumphant atmosphere felt at the finish line of any marathon was replaced with horror as two bombs detonated near the final stretch of the race. Shrapnel exploded out of pressure-cooked metal containers stored in backpacks at the feet of innocent spectators. More than 180 were hurt. Some lost limbs. Three were killed.
We were all affected.
Twenty-six point two isn't the toughest race, but it's a good demarcation dividing someone trying to shed some pounds and someone looking to test their limits. Every serious runner, myself included, dreams about tearing down the final chute at Boston, crossing the line and having their names recorded with the elite. It is the crown jewel of the runner's world.
Watching the full-audio version of the explosions turned the dream into a nightmare.
Running provides an escape for pavement pounders. It allows you to create a world where you make the rules, challenge yourself and win every day. For a fraternity that prides itself on overcoming trials, it felt like a defeating moment. It was an invasion of my world. An attack on everything good.
And then, with cameras rolling, the indefatigable spirit was put on display. Runners and spectators could be seen dashing toward the explosions. Joining first responders, these heroes ignored the flowing streams of blood on the sidewalk and their own fears to render assistance. By the logic of terrorism, it was reasonable to think another explosion could soon follow. They risked their lives.
Mass chaos. Mass fear. And still, humans ran to save other humans. It was a welcome sign of humanity in a time when faith in humanity seems to be diminished. For any runner who helped, the external fears they felt were probably comparable to many internal demons vanquished during years and months of training.
As someone who's finished seven marathons, typically the last thing you want to do at the end of a race is give anything else. But several news outlets reported runners continued from the finish line over to Mass General Hospital to donate blood after the attack.
This is humbling. It will heighten awareness. But it will not defeat this world we've created. Shortly after the bombings, upcoming races around the world including London, Cincinnati and the Indianapolis Mini announced they will be run as planned.
The terrorists who planned the Boston attack picked the wrong crowd if they were trying to single out a group to force into submission. Most of us have been ignoring our limitations for years.
The evil minds might have accomplished one thing: they've changed us.
Every runner will have that much more purpose in their step during their next race.

Boy has ears created from ribs
A boy who was born without ears has had a pair created from his ribs.
Nine-year-old Kieran Sorkin had the surgery at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Kieran was born deaf with small lobes where his ears should be. He can already hear, thanks to previous surgery to implant a hearing aid.
"I want people to stop asking me questions", said Kieran from Hertfordshire. "I'd like just to look like my friends.

When imagining an act of heroism, a toilet typically doesn't come to mind. However, in a Carl Hiaasen story, when commodes help save the day, it makes perfect and hilarious sense.
Flush, Hiaasen's second book for young readers (the first, 2002's Hoot, garnered a Newbery Honor) includes the author's trademark mix of environmentalism, healthy skepticism of authority figures and a paradisiacal Florida Keys setting. Unfortunately, the area's wonderfully clean air and sparkly blue waters are turning stinky and murky, due to the local casino-boat owner's nasty habit of secretly, illegally emptying the boat's sewage tanks into the ocean.
That's where our hero, young Noah Underwood, comes in. His father, Paine—an irrepressible sort with good intentions and a not-so-good handle on his temper—sank the casino boat, the Coral Queen, to protest the owner's unsavory actions. Paine's protest landed him in the county jail, and he won't let Noah's mom bail him out until he feels he's made his point, and maybe done a couple of television interviews. Of course, Noah's mom is hardly thrilled, and although she loves Paine, she is mightily tired of the upheaval created by his penchant for dramatics.
Noah and his younger sister Abbey (named after conservationist/writer Edward Abbey) hatch a daring, dangerous plan to prove their dad right and save their parents' marriage—all while avoiding the wrath of a persistent pair of neighborhood bullies, keeping their actions a secret from their mother and trying to figure out the identity of an old pirate-guy who keeps emerging from the woods to rescue them.
Fans of Hiaasen's will be delighted by Flush: good guys Noah and Abbey, plus a couple of kooky-but-kind accomplices named Lice (a sometime-drunk) and Shelly (his sometime-girlfriend and a bartender on the casino boat), take on the bad guys in a comedic, cleverly described conflict that builds to a wild, and wildly satisfying, finish.
Along the way, Hiaasen neatly mixes tension and humor. Will Noah be all right after he crashes into something large—and alive—during a frantic swim through the dirty water? (Sure he will; it was only a sleeping manatee.) Will good triumph over evil? (Come on, it's not going to be that easy.)
As he has in previous works for adults and kids alike, Hiaasen manages to be emphatic but not heavy-handed with his messages, whether urging kindness to the earth, or reminding readers that tolerance of loved ones' foibles is something to strive for (though it's all right, of course, to be miffed at lawbreakers). Fans of Hoot will likely feel Flush is worth the three-year wait: after all, it's got appealingly nutty characters, a colorful beachy setting and plenty of guffaw-inspiring goings-on. And just think how great this book will look on your bathroom bookshelf!

Horn Book Guide Reviews 2006 Spring
In his second children's book, Hiaasen offers a great action adventure without any of the didacticism that crept into Hoot. He sets this eco-mystery in Florida and peoples it with crooks, idealists, everyday heroes, and oddball characters. While the plot offers enough twists and turns to satisfy even the most serious adventure junkies, it's the multidimensional characters who give the novel vitality.

Horn Book Magazine Reviews 2005 #5
In his second children's book, Hiaasen hits his stride, offering a great action adventure without a hint of the didacticism that crept into Hoot (rev. 11/02). As is his trademark, he sets this eco-mystery in Florida and peoples it with crooks (Dusty Muleman, who dumps sewage from his gambling boat into Florida's waters); idealists (Paine Underwood, who sinks Muleman's boat in an effort to call attention to the illegal waste disposal); everyday heroes (Noah and Abbey, Paine's children, who finally reveal Muleman's operation and validate their dad's noble gesture); and oddball characters (an old "pirate" who shows up throughout the story and a tattooed, hard-living card dealer). While the plot offers enough twists and turns to satisfy even the most serious adventure junkies, it is the multidimensional characters who give the novel its vitality. Hiaasen always shows rather than tells, and that showing creates individuals who are simultaneously noble and petty, quirky and realistic, decent and wayward.

Kirkus Reviews 2005 August #1
What's a kid to do when his dad's thrown in jail for an unsuccessful act of ecoterrorism? Why, do it better, of course. Readers first meet Noah Underwood in the visiting room of the Florida Keys jail where his father proudly waits for justice to be done to the owner of the Coral Queen, the casino boat that regularly and illegally dumps raw sewage into the bay. Hiaasen surrounds Noah with his usual cast of supporting characters: a stoic little sister, a hard-drinking bleached-blonde bartender with a heart of gold, various thuggish lowlifes and a mysterious figure who appears from the jungle to save the day. The whole here is rather less than the sum of its parts, as the plot takes some time to take off and Noah's first-person narration necessarily limits the loony heights (or depths) Hiaasen can attain in plumbing the psyches of his villains. But Noah's determination and sense of right comes straight from the author's heart, and readers will cheer as he and his cohorts scuttle once and for all the activities of the Coral Queen.

Library Media Connection - February 2006
Noah and Abbey undertake daring adventures to try to help clear their father, Paine, when he sabotages a casino ship because it is dumping septic waste into the bay. Paine is an act first, think later activist for environmental issues. This king of irresponsible behavior has landed in jail more than once and seriously strained his marriage. There are many stories woven into the whole of this book, including family strife, a reappearing dead grandfather, bullying, abuse of alcohol, bad guys paying off officials, and environmental awareness based on the Floridian ecosystem. The story line drags on with many occasions in the reading seeming like the end is near only to have a new twist written in. The father shows growth in his control of his impulsiveness to a small degree. This story will interest young readers who are environmentally conscious and still buy into the clueless parents scenario. Recommended. Patricia J.

Publishers Weekly Reviews 2005 June #4
Hiaasen's (Hoot) action-packed mystery set in the Florida Keys offers a colorful cast of dastardly villains and eccentric heroes, along with his signature environmental themes. Noah would be the first to admit that his father, Paine Underwood, "sometimes goes too far" in his campaign to save the environment, especially when he single-handedly sinks the Coral Queen, a gambling boat that he believes has been dumping human waste just offshore. This feat leads to a jail sentence, and while Mr. Underwood is behind bars, it is up to Noah to prove that his father had good reason to put the floating casino out of action. Noah's mission-to catch owner Dusty Muleman "red-handed" as he drains his boat's sewage-is not an easy task. Dusty employs a burly watchman and has connections with the Coast Guard and the police. Yet Noah finds some unusual adversaries in Lice Peeking, Dusty's former employee, who is willing to testify against his ex-boss for a price; Shelly, Dusty's blond, buxom ex-girlfriend; and an unnamed "old pirate," who conveniently appears whenever Noah needs help out of a tight fix. While much of this adventure (including the identity of the "old pirate") is predictable, Hiaasen creates enough interesting plot twists to keep the pages turning. Budding environmentalists especially will delight in the ingenious way that Noah beats Dusty at his game. Ages 10-up. (Sept.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

School Library Journal Reviews 2005 September
Gr 5-8 -Noah and his sister, Abbey, are more understanding of their volatile dad's latest arrest than their mother, who begins talking of divorce. Dad sank the Coral Queen , a casino boat on a Florida Key because, he alleges, its owner, Dusty Muleman, has been illegally dumping raw sewage into the local waters. Soon enough the kids begin trying to gather proof that will vindicate their father and put the casino out of business. The colorful cast includes a drunken lout named Lice who disappears before he can be persuaded to testify against Dusty, his former boss. His rough-around-the-edges girlfriend, Shelly, comes through, though, helping the siblings dump dye in the boat's holding tanks, which finally brings the matter to court. Dusty's son, Jasper, is a chip off the old block, threatening and beating Noah on several occasions until he and, later, Abbey are rescued by a mysterious stranger who turns out to be their grandfather, long ago thought to have died in South America, probably while involved in drug smuggling. As the tale ends, he's back to Colombia to settle old scores. The plot would practically disappear if any one of the major characters had a cell phone, but the environmental story is front and center and readers will be hooked as the good guys try to do the right thing. This quick-reading, fun, family adventure harkens back to the Hardy Boys in its simplicity and quirky characters.-Joel Shoemaker, Southeast Junior High School, Iowa City, IA[Page 204].

"Bombay Beach"
Well deserved recipient of the Best Documentary award at Tribeca this year, "Bombay Beach" is an incredibly moving portrait of failed economic development and the humanity that continues to persevere even though forgotten in one of the poorest communities in southern California located near the Salton Sea. Three subjects are chosen to represent the community -- the elderly Red, a man who spouts prophetic musings and lives on cigarettes and booze; Cee Jay, a high-school football star dealing with the gang-related death of his cousin and hoping to score a scholarship to make a decent life for himself; and Benny, a young and imaginative boy suffering from bipolar disorder. Each is followed in their day-to-day routines, their interactions with their families, neighbors, and friends closely examined in a perfectly crafted, cinema-verite style.
Decayed buildings and rubble are the backdrop for this tale, but they're not the focus of the pic. Rather, they're used to show the inhabitants' complete lack of concern over these barren lands, retaining hope and dignity despite the unforgiving environment. Children play and teens dance in the abandoned properties populating the land -- in fact, one of the most poignant moments (aside from the fantastic ending sequence) involves Benny playing on the desolate beach, recounting a vivid dream involving him and his family being in prison. Even though these aren't the most perfect people (Benny's father often drinks and becomes violently belligerent, Red has a volatile personality lurking within), the director never looks down upon them and constructs a very hopeful piece.
Alma Har-el's debut feature showcases an assured talent, especially in areas that a lot of documentaries tend to over look, particularly cinematography and the soundtrack. Most of the film is shot in crisp HD during sundown, and the music -- largely consisting of music by Beirut and Bob Dylan -- gives the flick a pulsating energy, especially during the stand-alone dance sequences. Similar to the like-minded film "October Country" (track it down), "Bombay Beach" offers a sincere look at people that are rarely given this amount of attention in the film world. [A]
What are the wrong reasons to enter politics? That question permeates Gaukur Ulfarsson's "Gnarr," a documentary about a mid-level comedian in Iceland who recognizes the political situation in his hometown Reykjavik is a joke. In a fit of madness and/or inspired alchemy, Jon Gnarr decides to head up the Best Party, running for mayor against a raft of professional politicians despite having never ran for any type of office, with the claim that, "I just wanted a higher salary."
Gnarr himself is a winning personality. His campaign slogan, "Hooray for all kinds of things" showcases his unflappable optimism, not to mention his cheekily dismissive attitude towards the day-to-day activities required of a major political figure. The campaign can't stay a joke forever, of course, and as the campaign trail lengthens, we see Gnarr is a humanist who believes in humor as a more unifying force than stump speeches, and champions every measure that can be taken to appeal to the common people. His attitude appears to be anti-corporation, until you hear about his dream to add a Disneyland to Reykjavik's budget.
"Gnarr" boasts moments of lighthearted good humor, particularly in isolated situations with the affable Gnarr, who on one occasion demands everyone in his employ to watch and enjoy "The Wire." But there's the sense Ulfarsson, who appears onscreen frequently enough to be considered a groupie, doesn't seem interested in challenging the charming would-be politician. Just because he may be an ideal representative with a quick wit doesn't mean he is beyond reproach, and Ulfarsson compensates for his softball approach by rejiggering the narrative, acknowledging at the very beginning that Gnarr will eventually win the election, a structure that allows for Gnarr's introspective recollections of the campaign trail in place of whatever critiques and insight Ulfarsson could offer. Ulfarsson's choice to illuminate some and ignore other facets of the Gnarr campaign, sadly, is a perfect example of politics as usual. [B]

Saw this at Tribeca and boy is Bombay Beach spun & hyped. Pretty much no story and obviously set up actually framed with a handful or choreographed dance sequences. The shallow DSLR is striking inplaces but shame the camera operator was not able to keep all of the film sharp as large chunks of film are out of focus (not another out of focus shot of the back of a mans head on a trike or add some music and it's art!). Held together with lots of interview over images and much of it does not even take place at Bombay beach (lots of cards saying 300 miles, 250 miles from etc). Strip away the plastered Dylan/Beirut sound track and there is not really much of a film there. Take away the hype & very much Emporers New Clothes with this one.

The Word: Viola Davis almost ambush-kissed Harrison Ford
I often watch movies and TV shows and think "Hmm, they look like they want to make out." I'm not talking about romantic comedies – I'm talking about, like, "No Country For Old Men." For once I'll get to know for sure that I'm right.
Viola Davis says that she very nearly hijacked a scene in "Ender's Game" to plant a kiss on her costar Harrison Ford. She told Ellen that she had a huge crush on the once (and future?) Han Solo. "And so I called [The Help] costar Octavia Spencer," she said, and hatched a plot for her character to surprise his with a kiss.
"And I'm gonna make a bold choice. In the middle of our scene I'm just going to plant a big one on him."
Davis said that she imagined that the friction between their characters was due to a romantic history. "They have that banter, you know, back and forth, back and forth, and I think it's because they have a past. So I'm just gonna plant one on him."
When it came to the moment of truth, however, Viola chickened out and just stared blankly at him. Maybe it finally hit her that she was acting with 2013 Harrison Ford, not Indiana Jones Harrison Ford.

In the regular season, he was the second-leading scorer for Shattuck's Tier 1 U18 national championship team. Stepan scored 1 goal with 4 assists and was plus-five with 2 penalty minutes in four games for the USA in Switzerland. He scored 6 goals with 10 assists and had 6 penalty minutes in 15 elite league games. In three NIT games he scored 2 goals with 5 assists. Stepan skated in all 54 games for Shattuck-St. Mary's and had 25 goals with 39 assists and 20 penalty minutes. Shattuck defeated the Mid-Fairfield Blues in the national championship game to finish 45-6-3. Stepan committed to playing college hockey at Ohio State in 2013-14.
2011-12: Stepan competed for Shattuck-St. Mary's in the Upper Midwest High School Elite League in the fall and skated in 50 games for Shattuck in his senior season. The Sabres won the U18 Tier 1 National Championship for the second straight season. Stepan scored 7 goals with 13 assists and had 6 penalty minutes in 15 games during the Elite League season. During the regular season he scored 22 goals with 43 assists and had 20 penalty minutes. Shattuck defeated the LA Junior Kings, 2-1, in the national championship game to finish 50-5-2. Stepan was invited to the NHL Draft Combine and ranked 53rd amongst North American skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings prior to the 2012 NHL Draft.
2012-13: Stepan was the third-leading scorer for Waterloo in the USHL and won a goal medal with the USA squad at the 2012 World Junior A Challenge. He scored 32 goals with 46 assists in 56 games and was +25 with 50 minutes. The Black Hawks finished third in the West Conference and lost to second-place Fargo in overtime of the decisive fifth game of their playoff series. Stepan scored 3 goals with 1 assist and was -1 in the playoffs. He scored 2 goals with 2 assists and had 2 penalty minutes in four games at the WJAC. In May 2013 he announced that he would play college hockey at Minnesota State and not Ohio State – which had fired head coach Mark Osiecki.
Talent Analysis
Stepan is a modestly-sized forward who plays bigger than would be expected of a player his size. He has some speed and skill, and can maneuver to open spaces on the ice to create some offensive opportunities. He is not as skilled a player as his cousin Derek, so he makes up for that shortcoming by working hard. At this stage, Stepan looks like a player that could eventually spend time on the second or third line, depending on how his offensive game progresses.
After a stellar high school career and a solid year of transition in the USHL with Waterloo, Stepan will play at the Minnesota State University-Mankato for at least two to three years. He can use this time to mature physically and improve his offensive skills. He has solid top-six potential.

Hendricks Pediatric Dentistry focuses on specialized dentistry for children and adolescents, and John Wells, D.M.D., teaches his patients and their parents about oral health.
Wells said he emphasizes preventative care and education, starting at an early age.
"We want to see the kid at age 1, or when they get their first teeth," he
said. "The reason we want to do that is mainly for education of the parent, so we can prevent decay, mostly. We want each child to have what's called a dental home. Basically, that's a place where they can go and get continued care, emergency care, and proper referrals that they would need."
He said encouraging a proper diet is also key in his ongoing relationships with patients.
"The other thing we talk about is diet, and we want to keep the frequency of sugar and acid in their diet as low as possible," Wells said. "Mostly drinks (are the problem). Kids that end up having a lot of cavities, it's usually sugary drinks (that causes them). That's everything from Kool-Aid with NutraSweet (or other artificial sweeteners), all the way to chocolate milk. Kool-Aid with NutraSweet and diet sodas have no sugar, but they have acid and that's what dissolves the teeth. Sodas, juice, Gatorade, Hi-C, and Capri Sun — all those things have sugar and acid. Chocolate milk, strawberry milk, has a lot of sugar. There are about 10 teaspoons of sugar in eight ounces of chocolate milk."
He said he stresses that the frequency at which those drinks are consumed causes the most damage.
"The most important thing is frequency (of drinks) — not amount," Wells said. "It's best for them not to sip on anything that has sugar or acid in it. Each time you take a drink of anything that has sugar or acid in it, or I do, or a 2-year-old does ... almost all of it goes in your stomach, but just a little stays in your mouth. It takes your saliva 30 minutes to it wash off after each sip. So if you take a drink and you're done with your meal, usually 30 minutes later most of it's gone. If you take a drink at 1 p.m. and another at 1:15 p.m., then the 30 minutes starts over ... if they sip on it, that's the dangerous part as far as cavities."
He said he also informs parents of the time frame in which their children's teeth will begin to come in.
"There are 20 baby teeth, easy way to remember that is there are 10 on top, 10 on bottom," he said. "The first baby teeth that usually come in are the two lower, center ones — the lower incisors. They usually come in between age 6 months to 13 months. They usually have all the baby teeth in by 2 1/2 to 3 years of age. They don't start losing baby teeth until about age 5 to 8 years of age. All the baby teeth are usually gone by age 11 to 13."
As a child's teeth come in, Wells said he begins to instill good brushing habits.
"We want them all to use a fluoride toothpaste, at a year and a half," he said. "We only want them to use the size of a BB, not a pea (size) or anything. A little-bitty smear of toothpaste, for kids under 4. Just a small amount of toothpaste."
He said he continues preaching the good brushing and flossing habits as the children gets older.
"For older kids we want to make sure they brush their teeth once a day," he said. "The older kids, the big problem that I see as far as cavities goes, it's again diet. It's usually drinking sodas ... or Gatorade and sitting and playing a video game. Just putting it in your mouth over and over. The older kids, they have to floss their teeth, and brush them."
He said he tells his patients they have to clean all sides of their teeth.
"A chewing surface, a facial side, the side next to the tongue, and then it has the two sides that touch the other teeth. I try to tell the older kids, it's like their hand. Your hand has five fingers, if you only brush you only get three sides, you wouldn't want to wash your hands and only wash three fingers. That's kind of the same thing we try to get them to do."
Wells added that roughly 80 percent cavities start in the cracks and pits on the tops of the back teeth, while the rest of the cavities form between teeth when a person doesn't floss.
He said he also focuses on trauma that might occur to a patient's teeth.
"On a primary tooth (also known as a baby tooth), if a child knocks it out, give me, or (your family's) dentist a call," Wells said. "But, we would not put the baby tooth back in if it got knocked all the way out.
A permanent tooth, if it got knocked out or broken off, you want to find the piece of the tooth, or the whole tooth, and put it in some water or some plain milk and call the dentist right away, because we will try to put that back together."
Wells said in a situation where a tooth is knocked out or broken, it's also important to check for signs of other trauma, like a concussion.
"The first thing you want to check, if there's a tooth knocked out, you want to check that the kid's brain is working right," he said. "One of the things I do on that, if it's an older kid, you can ask them what day it is, or when there birthday is. For a little kid, I'll just hand them something and if they can reach out and grab it, they're probably fine. If they're crying and they want their mother, they're probably OK. If you turn around at the playground and your kid just fell off the monkey bars, and hit on their face and they're just kind of sitting there, you don't want to call the dentist, call 911."
Hendricks Pediatric Dentistry is located at 1411 S. Green Street, Suite 200, in Brownsburg. For more information, call the office at 852-8113 or visit www.hendrickspd.com.

Here is your three part challenge should you choose to accept it: 1.) Demonstrate your proficiency as a teacher measured in part by MSP/HSPE scores, 2.) Mentor a student teacher so they may start their career at a point of proficiency, 3.) Remember those tests? MSP and HSPE? Make sure your students pass them.
In light of a new position I recently started and conversations about whose class to place my own child in next year, I have been ruminating about the three way raw deal this "mission impossible" presents. How should we shepherd new entrants into the profession given the current climate of high stakes testing and teacher evaluation tied to said tests? No matter how knowledgeable of content and pedagogy, no matter how energetic and committed, a student teacher by definition presents inconsistency in instruction. In spite of the fact we have all been there, in spite of the fact no one can step into teaching with any hope of success without at least minimal "in front of the class" experience, how many of us are going to continue to be willing to take on student teachers? Especially in the spring, when our names, our evaluations, our jobs are tied to a test someone else is preparing our students for? And what about those fresh faces who bring talent, energy, and optimism? How are they to get the experience they need to become successful teachers? Then there are the students. Kids need consistency and firm boundaries on multiple levels to feel secure enough to take the intellectual risks required for growth. The first grade classroom I am considering for my son will transition between the master teacher (fabulous known commodity) and at least two student teachers (who will likely be great). Dynamic? Yes. Consistent? In fits and starts. Is that set up really in students' best interests?

Introduction to French Pronunciation
Simplified chart of French pronunciation, to help new French students get an idea what French sounds like without getting bogged down in exceptions.
Top French Pronunciation Mistakes and Difficulties
Many students find that pronunciation is the hardest part of learning French. The new sounds, the silent letters, the liaisons... they all combine to make speaking French very tricky. Here are the top French pronunciation difficulties and mistakes, with links to detailed lessons and sound files.
Tips to Improve your French Pronunciation
Speaking French is more than just knowing the vocabulary and grammar rules - you also need to pronounce the letters correctly. Unless you started learning French as a child, you're unlikely to ever sound like a native speaker, but it's certainly not impossible for adults to speak with a decent French accent. Here are some ideas to help you improve your French pronunciation.
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
The International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA, is a standardized alphabet for phonetic notation: a comprehensive set of symbols and diacritical marks used to transcribe the speech sounds of all languages in a uniform fashion. The most common uses of the International Phonetic Alphabet are in linguistics and dictionaries.
Offline Audio Resources
You can learn a lot of French grammar using the internet and books, but if you want to be able to understand others and make yourself understood, you need to work on your listening and speaking skills. These French audio resources can help.
Offline Pronunciation Tools
These resources include detailed explanations of French sounds and some audio tools for listening and speaking practice.

Apparently all those snow dances are working - and the prayers are being answered all at once. The first major storm of this season is blasting Mt. Hood with an abundance of snow - more than five feet from Saturday through Wednesday. The powder skiing and riding was wonderful through Tuesday, and even Wednesday morning - but now the nastiness of the storm is upon us.
High winds and warming temperatures are wreaking havoc on the mountain. The winds affect our lift operations and the rising temperatures increase the the avalanche hazard. It's pretty simple physics - take four feet of really light powder, and then place a heavier layer of more densely saturated snow on top of it and you have the makings for some sliding.
We also want to alert you to the danger of deep snow tree wells. Ride with a buddy - and avoid these powdery traps.
Needless to say we will be affected during the height of this storm, but we'll take it. Looking forward the freezing levels and winds drop, and we'll more than double our base setting us up for some terrific conditions for riding! Keep an eye on our conditions page and if you haven't already you really should subscribe to our daily snow report. It gives you great information on what to expect each day.
For now, enjoy the video Pierce from mComm shot Tuesday - the day we received 31 inches of powder. Storm riding at its best!
What happened to HRM? Trees down?Meadows: Wednesday we had Avalanche Mitigation in progress on terrain serviced by HRE which would delay operating that lift, so traffic was routed to the main lot (instead of parking at HRM.) As temperatures warmed and the snowpack became heavier, we had concerns about slope stability at HRM and opted not to open the lift. We continued to monitor slope stability in that area and the rest of the resort as well, in case more lift closures were necessary for safety reasons.Thursday HRM was reopened.
Great 5 runs. Too bad you can't open on time so we can use the only good 2 hours of the day.Meadows: If you're speaking about Wednesday, we opened Mt. Hood Express at 9:01 AM, and Easy Rider at 9:12 AM. At 10:01 AM Star opened and Stadium followed at 10:07 AM. This is extraordinary considering the amount of snow we had received in the previous 24 hours and the weather we were experiencing. Yes we strive to open every lift on time, but in a storm such as this we do our best to get what is humanly possible open, as quickly as possible. Timberline didn't even operate Wednesday (all lifts closed.) Mt. Bachelor is having similar storm conditions today and they also closed. Our dedicated lift maintenance crew which works tediously and efficiently to maintain and open our lifts doesn't seek out or ask for credit. But comments such as this really shows how under appreciated they are.
Why does Heather say waiting for more snow?There must be some other reason?Meadows: We'll be able to update that message once our patrol can assess conditions in the canyon. We need to build the snow bridges to cover the creeks at the bottom of the canyon, but avalanche hazards have been too high to take a cat into the canyon at this point. We'll have a much clearer picture of the what needs to be done, and a time frame for getting it done once patrol can assess.

controllers work at airports, Air Route Traffic Control
Centers, or Flight Service Stations. In each location,
these workers control flights within their airspace,
transferring to another controller the flights that leave
their space and receiving from other controllers the
flights that enter it.
Controllers at airports work in large
towers, directing air traffic in the terminal area so it
flows smoothly and efficiently. Tower controllers
typically begin the workday by talking to a flight service
specialist about weather conditions and flight plans. The
tower controller opens the tower, checks equipment, and
reviews the day's flight plans on the computer.
Tower controllers give pilots taxiing and
takeoff instructions, air traffic clearances, and advice.
They base these communications on their own observations
and information they receive from the National Weather
Service, route traffic control centers, flight service
stations, and aircraft pilots.
To keep landing and departing aircraft
separate, tower controllers must be able to quickly recall
registration numbers of aircraft under their control, the
aircraft types and speeds, positions in the air, and the
locations of navigational aids or landmarks in the area.
Controllers working in route traffic
control centers give aircraft instructions, air traffic
clearances, and advice regarding conditions during flight.
They provide for separation between aircraft flying along
Federal airways or operating into or out of airports not
served by a terminal facility.
Control center controllers use computer
equipment, radio, radar, telephones, and other electronic
and manual devices to track the progress of flights within
the center's airspace. The use of radar equipment
requires that they work in semi-darkness. And, unlike
tower controllers, center controllers never actually see
the aircraft that they control except as
"targets" on the radar scope.
Controllers working in flight service
stations provide preflight, in-flight, and emergency help
to pilots who request it. They communicate information
about both actual and forecast weather conditions, relay
air traffic control instructions, assist pilots in
emergencies, provide airport advisory service, and
initiate and participate in searches for late or missing
Directing the Nation's air traffic can
be stressful, controllers say, but the pressure usually
ends at the conclusion of their shift. To minimize the
stress associated with the job, requirements specify that
controllers must work in their positions for no longer
than 2 consecutive hours and must take breaks. And at the
end of their shifts, controllers are done; they rarely
stay late or take work home with them.
Employment and earnings.
There were about 23,240 air traffic controllers in May
2006, according to BLS. Nearly all of them were employed
by the FAA—part of the Federal Government.
Air traffic controllers are among the
highest paid occupations in the United States. According
to BLS, median annual salaries of air traffic controllers
in May 2006 were $117,240.
Qualifications and training.
Applicants for air traffic controller positions must be no
older than age 30 and must not have reached their 31st
birthday at the time of appointment. They must be U.S.
citizens and able to speak English clearly enough to be
understood over radios, intercoms, and similar
communications equipment.
According to the FAA, air traffic
controllers must demonstrate potential for learning and
performing this type of work. They show this potential
either by having gained work experience in technical
positions, by earning a bachelor's degree to substitute
for the experience requirement, or by having a combination
of work experience and college credits, with 1 year of
undergraduate study equaling 9 months of general
experience. Certain kinds of aviation experience may be
substituted for these requirements.
The FAA also hires graduates of
FAA-approved postsecondary educational programs, current
or former Federal employees with prior air traffic control
experience, and former or retired military controllers.
Applicants to air traffic controller positions must
also pass an entry-level employment examination.
Candidates who successfully pass the employment exam and
are tentatively selected must also pass a medical exam
that includes vision and hearing tests, a security and
background investigation, and a pre-employment drug test.
Applicants who have no prior work
experience in air traffic control must achieve a
qualifying score on an FAA-authorized test. This test is
administered by computer and takes about 8 hours to
complete. Candidates must first apply for an opening and
then be selected to take the test.
Flight attendants
Flight attendants are the face of the
airlines. They constitute most of the contact between
airlines and their customers, and they often are the basis
for comparison between airlines. A flight attendant's
role is to assist passengers and ensure their safety
throughout the flight.
Duties. Flight attendants
first assist passengers in boarding the plane: checking
tickets, helping passengers stow their carry-on bags, and
answering questions. They help to prepare the plane's
cabin for departure by closing and locking the doors;
checking the aisles, rows, and storage bins for loose
items; and ensuring that all passengers are safely seated.
Flight attendants make announcements
during flights using the in-cabin public address system.
And depending on the length of the flight and the time of
day, attendants are responsible for serving food and
beverages and providing blankets or other amenities during
the flight.
In addition to passenger comfort,
passenger safety is an important part of the flight
attendants' job. Flight attendants explain safety
procedures and make sure that each passenger follows
regulations, which they enforce as pleasantly as possible.
During emergencies, such as evacuations, they also direct
passengers in where to go and what to do.
Dealing with passengers often takes patience and
finesse. Some passengers may become unruly over
circumstances that may be out of the airlines' control,
such as delays on the runway due to bad weather. Flight
attendants calm these passengers and try to remain
professional even during the most challenging situations.
But flight attendants' work extends
beyond passenger care. Along with the rest of the crew,
attendants go to preflight briefings to learn from the
pilot about weather conditions, special passenger needs,
or other concerns related to the flight. Then, attendants
check all emergency equipment, the public address system,
and supplies of food, beverages, and other necessities.
When the plane lands, flight attendants
assist passengers in deplaning. Some airlines also require
attendants to tidy the cabin by performing tasks such as
folding blankets, wiping down equipment, and straightening
curtains or shades. Attendants also report in writing
about anything noteworthy related to the flight, including
minor medication given to passengers, articles lost or
found, and equipment requiring attention.
Passenger assistance, though, remains one of the things
that flight attendants say they like best about their
work. Helping passengers, while sometimes challenging, is
also rewarding: Attendants can lessen a traveler's
distress or fear, making the flight more enjoyable for him
or her. And flight attendants are often outgoing, so they
enjoy meeting travelers from across the country and around
the world.
Employment and earnings.
Flight attendants held about 96,760 jobs in May 2006. Most
of them were with commercial airlines.
Median annual salaries of flight
attendants were $53,780 in May 2006, according to BLS.
Flight attendant pay is based almost entirely on seniority
and varies by airline, but attendants can increase their
earnings by working additional hours and flights. With
experience, flight attendants can become lead attendants
and get more or preferred assignments, such as
international flights.
Qualifications and training.
The minimum age requirement for flight attendants is
usually 19, but most airlines prefer attendants who are at
least 21. Corrected vision, either with contact lenses or
glasses, is acceptable for flight attendants. Most
airlines also have rules relating to appearance, such as
acceptable grooming practices, required uniforms, and
maximum allowances for body weight that vary by height.
Flight attendants need good communication
skills. Fluency or some level of competence in a foreign
language may be required to work some international
Applicants should also have some previous
experience, especially in dealing with the public in a job
that focuses on customer service. Experience that proves
your independence and self-confidence is also helpful
because during flights, attendants often make decisions
independently. But experience need not be paid to be
considered valuable. Applicants should also note
meaningful volunteer work, such as assisting with a
political campaign, school committee, or community service
Flight attendants must have at least a
high school diploma or its equivalent, but many airlines
also require a minimum of 2 years in college or work
experience in customer service. A bachelor's degree is
helpful when competing for jobs and is often preferred—and
may soon be required—by some airlines.
After they are hired, flight attendants have 3 to 8
weeks of training. This training covers all aspects of
their future duties, including emergency evacuation
procedures, first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and
passenger psychology. New hires must also learn FAA
regulations, food and beverage service procedures, and
methods for assisting certain passengers, such as
unaccompanied minors. Trainees also get airline-specific
instruction, including learning about its fleet of
aircraft and other types of equipment, to prepare them to
work on any type of plane.
At the end of this training, flight attendants become
certified by passing an FAA emergency procedures test and
an instructor-administered exam. Certified flight
attendants usually report immediately to their assigned
base of operations after graduation, sometimes working a
flight the following day.

A big theft problem in the East Baton Rouge Public Works Department is costing tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Expensive, heavy duty equipment has been stolen and the department head said he no longer wants to replace it.
When the grass in the ditches gets high, the streets flood and water backs up in the East Baton Rouge sewer system the Department of Public Works deploys crews to tackle the problems. The parish department employs roughly 800 people.
David Guillory, who has been running the department for a year and a half, said nearly half of his employees work in ditches, wastewater, and one of three parish maintenance facilities. He said they rely on heavy duty equipment to get the jobs done.
"We are as good as the equipment we have," Guillory said.
The DPW fleet includes expensive tractors, backhoes, excavators, and mowers, just to name a few. Guillory said supervisors at the facilities are supposed to document which employees use each piece of equipment. At the end of the work day the machines are stored behind a locked gate. But from time to time some of them have vanished.
"With the large amount of equipment we have in our fleet it can be a task making sure we're keeping up with it," Guillory said.
According to the documents obtained by the 9news I-Team, the DPW has lost track of several pieces of pricey equipment. From January of 2009 to November of 2013, eight machines have gone missing.
Total = $236,010.11
The total does not include other smaller equipment, such as weed eaters that were also stolen from the department.
"In the last instance they actually transported it with more of my equipment, with a truck and a trailer that belong to public works," Guillory said.
Former DPW employee, Watson Williams, III contacted the 9News I-Team after he was arrested in November and fired for allegedly stealing a tractor from the DPW, which was recovered. He claims he is innocent, but is well aware of equipment being stolen. Part of the problem, he said, is that a lot of the gear, like the Kubota Tractors, can be operated by the same key.
"Anybody can come up with a key from anywhere if they have that code key that matches that tractor, you can operate it," Williams said.
Williams said it is common knowledge among DPW workers.
In a report filed with the Baton Rouge Police Department regarding a missing tractor in February of 2009, the complainant stated, "This tractor used the same key as all other Kubota brand tractors. He stated that any Kubota key would fit the ignition."
A year prior to that, a Case Backhoe was stolen from the DPW East lot. The complainant "stated that the backhoe can be started by any case key."
"We have different sizes of tractors. The smaller tractor key does not operate the larger tractor key, but regardless of which keys operate which tractors, our real problem is employees being involved in the thefts," Guillory said.
"Why is a culture of theft being allowed to operate in this department," reporter Cheryl Mercedes asked.
"Well, when you're dealing with a labor force as large as ours, a maintenance intensive labor force, you're hiring lots of employees that may not want to work hard every day," Guillory replied.
The department has installed surveillance cameras at the facilities, hired officers to keep watch, and has invested in a GPS tracking system but he said even that has not stopped the thefts.
"GPSing equipment every month for service, spending money storing equipment, locking equipment up, buying different apparatus to make sure it's safe. At a certain point it's not worth spending the money to replace that equipment. We will look at other options. We have looked at other options of getting work done if equipment continues to walk off," Guillory said.
Guillory believes some of stolen items wind up on construction sites, some as far away as the U.S./Mexico border. But he said investigators have not been able to prove it. The department head said he is working hard to establish a new culture at public works.
"I'm not going to put up with theft of our equipment. I'm going to come down pretty hard on anybody that we find doing those kinds of activities," Guillory said.
A spokesman for the Baton Rouge Police Department confirmed detectives are actively working to track the stolen equipment and the people responsible. However, he said because the machines are typically painted or sold for parts it makes them that much harder to track.

Rocky Top: Is Tim Floyd Chasing Former Volunteer Emmanuel Negedu? - Vols Extra
Last week, I mentioned in the May 7th Dig that UTEP was reportedly showing interest in former Tennessee Volunteer Emmanuel Negedu. Now, another report says that UTEP is indeed among a score of schools showing interest in the former Tennessee Volunteer. Background Negedu originally signed with the Arizona Wildcats but was released after Lute Olsen left the program. A 6'7, 225 pound power forward, Negedu, was not cleared by Tennessee to return to the team for his sophomore season after suffering a "cardiac event" in September and now has an ICD device implanted in his heart. As mentioned in the Dig last week, Negedu visited with the Indiana Hoosiers and was cleared by team doctors to play. However, the school's administration decided not to clear him for competition with the school. Today, Negedu visited with the New Mexico Lobos. According to the article, UNM is being very cautious, understandably so, in their pursuit of Negedu and will recquire "a coach, an athletic director, a team doctor, and a university's legal counsel to all be in agreement for Negedu's playing career to continue." The Will Kimble Model Remember former Miner center Will Kimble? He of the 6'10 frame and similar heart condition (Kimble also had an ICD implant)? According to the report, Negedu has spoken with Kimble, now an assistant coach at Pepperdine, about playing division1 basketball with their shared medical condition. If you remember, Kimble played two seasons under Doc Sadler after UTEP cleared him to play. By the way, if you want a fascinating read on Kimble's re-entry into the basketball world, check this out. According to the report, several schools are showing interest in Negedu, including Oregon, UNLV, Rutgers, Iowa State, UAB, Arizona, and UTEP. Obviously, the safety of a student athlete comes first in these situations, but it will be interesting to follow Negedu's recruitment in the coming weeks. Negedu, a native of Nigeria, sounds like an interesting person. And, if you didn't think he was awesome already, you should know that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Marisa Miller and him are friends. She even goes to UT games to cheer him on.

Joe Haden is the only CB that I can think of that had a dissappointing 40 time that turned out pretty good. I agree with your take though, For what it's worth Banks did improve his 40 at his pro day, 4.51. Still slow for a CB.
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.

Acquired via trade
Thanks, DLFarris!
Hazy, cloudy dark orange in color with a somewhat large, very persistent off-white head that lasts and lasts. This leaves the glass completely messy with thick sheets and lines of lacing.
This beer smells amazing--it being less than two weeks old can't hurt either! Stinging citrus notes erupt from the glass (orange and grapefruit, namely), pear and light apple, floral notes, along with just a bit of sweet bread and warm alcohol. Fantastic.
Moderately bitter along with lots of citrus, floral, pear, and passion fruit flavors. Malt is minimal. This is a celebration of hop.
Medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Just a wonderfully fresh, delicious DIPA. I will want more of this!

Golden hazy pour which means I can't see through it.
Pineapple, grapefruit, peach and mango on the nose. Smells like a fruit cocktail. There's also hints of grass and pine.
Tastes like fruit cocktail syrup with just about as much carbonation. Oily finish. Above average on the sweetness factor too. Also getting slight notes of hay. The galaxy hops really amp this up. This is closer to Daisy Cutter than Double Daisy is... and way superior in my mind.
Nothing super exciting but that's sort of what I like about this. Straightforward and delicious. 22oz is no problem to get through.

Poured into my FFF tulip
A - Apricot color and very hazy. Only a slight amount of light gets through.
S - Grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple and mango. You really get the tropical fruits bursting forth from this one
T - Grapefruit hops up front that are very well balanced with sweet tangerine and mango. I get a slight lemon peel as well near the back.. The finish is slightly dry with the grapefruit hops coming back and giving the beer a slight bite without becoming overpowering.
MF - Light with amble carbonation and a light stickiness. The beer is thick enough to not be watery but light enough to make it very drinkable for a DIPA
O - I haven't had double daisy cutter but this reminds me of a thicker, hoppier and slightly fruiter of version of Daisy Cutter. It is surprisingly light and drinkable for an 8% DIPA. I could actually imagine drinking a couple of these on a hot summer day. Solid offering that is worth seeking out next time they brew it.

Review from notes. Thanks to iadler and exitmusic00 for this bottle in the partner BIF!
A: Pours an extremely hazy orange/peach color with a small white head on top. Decent retention and thin lacing left behind.
S: Very fruity with orange, passion fruit, guava, and tangerine. Some faint pine mixed in, but not much malt. There is a bit of a sweetness though.
T: Similar to the aroma with lots of fruit up front. More orange and passion fruit, as well as a some peach and a lot of pith and rind.
M: Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. Drinks smooth with a slightly dry finish.
O: Pretty solid effort here. Would love to try more beers featuring Galaxy hops.

Appearance - Pours a hazy, sunset orange with a half finger's worth of white head. Fair retention, resulting in a broken layer of surface suds. Fair lacing, mostly spotty, with good stick.
Smell - Fresh orange zest, pineapple, light floral notes and a light breadiness.
Taste - Follows the nose. An enormous amount of juicy orange flavor. Moderate pineapple and light grapefruit. Vaguely touches on mint. Malts come through mid-taste and near the finish with bready qualities and a faint toastiness to produce a balanced finish. Light citrus pith in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full in body with fair carbonation. Smooth and somewhat silky before a semi-dry finish.
Overall - Yeah, this beer is delicious. Can't help but think Jai alai when drinking it; they're very similar, except this thing packs a punch at 8%. Well worth trading for. If you can get it, get it!
