Levi's and Nike have released this quick preview of their upcoming 511 Skateboarding Collection. Rooted in the same marriage of style and sport as the popular Levi's Commuter Series, the line will add skate-centric details to the 511. The video features Nike SB pro Omar Salazar, whose ability to mix old school tricks into an aggressive style fits well with the theme of classic brands continuing to innovate. The 511 khaki is my go-to skate pant, so I'm stoked to see what details this collab brings to the table. -Angelo
We've teamed up with Levi's to give away Levi's Commuter gear and a Republic bike every day during the month of September.
Raf Moses shot this really nice video for the Levi's Tailor Shop (414 West 14th). We wonder if they do bedazzling?
The buzz was palpable as the Levi's Bike Shop rolled into Portland for the grand finale—an epic three day stint with the Oregon Manifest, a competition to design and build the ultimate modern utility bike. The who's who from the custom bike builder arena had all come together for the constructor's challenge in the bicycle mecca that is Portland.
After a few days of downtime in LA, the Levi's Bike Shop Tour was feeling refreshed as we headed up the Gold Coast to San Francisco for a hometown party in Levi's Plaza. Capricia's SoCal nostalgia had been satisfied and Errol and Dustyn's beards had been tuned-up.
Up in the Bay Area, a circus awaited, except it was one filled with fun and sexy people and not clowns. For the hometown celebration, the Levi's extravaganza pulled out all the stops. Many of Levi's own employee commuters got in on the action and the Bike Shop was welcomed by a bunch of new friends with some tricks up their sleeves.
After a month since the launch of the tour, with over 20 stops and 8,000 miles, the Levi's Bike Shop rolled into LA for another full weekend—all systems go. It was a non-stop fiesta.
All good things must come to an end, but that doesn't mean that we won't be going out strong! The final four stops on the Levi's Bike Shop Tour are this week and it's your last chance to experience all the tour has to offer. San Francisco and Portland, it's your turn to Get in the Saddle.
Salt Lake City was busier with commuter bikers than we expected. We worked it hard in SLC. After we closed up the Levi's Bike Shop Tour for the day, our mechanics demanded that we swiftly shove along to the Bonneville Salt Flats and its international speedway on the other side of that huge salty lake. They had a score to settle.
Since we left the flatlands, the stops have come fast and furious on the Levi's Bike Shop's road West. It's been an adventure for sure.
Boulder was the first stop in our Western expansion. It's incredible how you can drive for an eternity along the flattest route imaginable and then all of a sudden a vertical wall greets you at the Great Divide. We were ready to cross over and climbed into Rocky Mountain territory.
Boulder natives take their bicycles seriously, and we saw some rugged sets of wheels at the shop that day. We recruited local bike advocates Bikes Belong and Boulder B-Cycle to join the party, and the rowdy Cruiser Ride came through all aglow as night befell the Shop's set-up off Pearl St.
Night biking in Boulder is a sight to behold. Almost everyone in town seems to have a headlamp handy for night rides on the mountain trails. They also bring the mobile party en masse, which was great because we had cause to celebrate—it was Capricia's birthday.
Visiting Nebraska was a first for everyone on the Levi's Bike Shop Tour, and we didn't really know what to expect other than corn and casinos—which are both plentiful. But in Omaha, people are starting to get pretty psyched on bikes, too.
With the Windy City behind us, the Levi's Bike Shop rolled into Minneapolis on Saturday with some hype. Last year Minneapolis was named Best Bike City by Bicycling Magazine, unseating Portland as the assumed favorite. We had to see for ourselves what all the fuss was about and met some savvy locals to help us figure it out.
The Levi's Bike Shop Tour has finally reached the West Coast! Catch the crew this week as they being the final leg of the tour.
The Levi's Bike Shop has already rolled halfway across the country and the crowds keep growing. By the time we reached Austin, TX we realized we were going to need bring on one more to join Errol, Capricia, and I on this whirlwind tour.
As luck would have it, our man was waiting for us at the Urban UT Campus lot as the shop rolled up, asking if he could help the day of our pit stop in Austin. Little did he realize he was about to get recruited.
Next on the Levi's Bike Shop Tour, the crew are making their way to Chicago then they'll begin to head west for the second leg of the tour.
The bike scene is especially curious down in New Orleans, where engines are fueled by the influences of the bayou. It's definitely a scene in Marigny (on the fringe of the French Quarter) where we opened up the Levi's Bike Shop last Friday.
Nola runs real hot and sweaty this time of year. Everything is a beat slower. Swampier. You get used to it, then have fun with it.
The road has been good to us so far, as the Bike Shop winds its way through the Deep South. So deep. We've officially made our first stop at a Waffle House and we've crossed the line where White Castles become Krystals. We also made a pit stop at the notorious Flea Market on our way through Montgomery, AL. We were amazed to find out it actually exists. And it is, in fact, just like a mini... mall.
Here are a couple other things we've found out on our Southern journey:
1. Asheville, NC is an incredible place to ride. The hilly terrain makes for a roller coaster ride, and the mountains really are "smokey." The mist enveloping the hills on the horizon makes the whole landscape totally surreal.
"Fresh on the heels of our launch in NYC, the Bike Shop rolled into Philadelphia for a 2-day stint in Urban's hometown.
On a very warm Thursday afternoon, we set-up shop at City Hall as commuters of type pedaled up with their bikes eager for a tune-up. Bravo to the businessmen on bikes, clad in suits and ties.
To manage the masses, the Bike Shop was honored to welcome the legendary Philly bike builder Stephen Bilenky (Bilenky Cycles) who worked the other side of the bench across from our mechanic Errol. Bilenky has been setting the standard for custom building for over 40 years, and he brought along a couple of his cycles for show. I caught Errol staring at them longingly.

BLOOMINGTON Ill -- Dozens of Bloomington-Normal residents listened to city leaders' $32 million proposal to develop a new soccer complex in Normal and a community center in Bloomington.
"The problem is if we go back to what we were and play in different parks, those parks or green space do not exist today, said Prairie City Soccer League President, Frank Schuler. "It's either been developed or the space that is there doesn't meet statues and requirements. This is our best opportunity to continue soccer."
Currently, around 3,000 kids play soccer at Community Fields next to Central Illinois Regional Airport.
However, their lease ends in 2017.
"If we were to lose the Community Fields and not have a replacement for that, we are going to be competing with all of the other sports in town for whatever green space is available," said soccer parent, Steve Personette. "It will just be a big mess I believe."
With the new proposal, a 26-field complex would be built on Normal's west side, near Crossroads Center along with a separate Community Center at the Great Escape building in Bloomington.
Project developers said a sales tax increase could pay off project debt in eight years.
"The quarter of a percent sales tax increase allows those who are coming outside of our community to participate in the funding of that particular complex," said project proposal organizer, Dave Magers. "We'll see increased economic activity from shopping in hotels and eating at restaurants."
Organizers say according to a research study, the facilities will generate $1 million within the first year.
The proposal also suggests that the YMCA will manage the community center, with organizations like the Boys and Girls Club sharing the facility.
Developers need to get approval from the Town of Normal and City of Bloomington before they will be able to begin construction on the project.
They hope to present their plan to the councils by the end of September.

Titular greetings to everybody here. I am one of the undoubtedly many avid DC readers from far away. The Netherlands, in my case. That's Europe to the geographically challenged.
First off, my warmest and sincerest compliments for DC's content. It's one of my steady online read fixes, and I hope the staff has as much fun writing it as I have reading it. Reviews, news, interviews and what not, DC offers everything a horror fan could possibly want, and then some. Kudos. Bravo.
I am not familiar with the community here. Likewise, the community is equally unfamiliar with me so a little introduction seems in order. To get the obvious out of the way, of course, I'm a horror fan. My favorite directors are many, but to name a few: John Carpenter, Kim Ki-Duk, Dario Argento, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Dante Tomaselli, George A. Romero, David Cronenberg and David Lynch. Some of my favorite movies: The Isle, Prince of Darkness, Mulholland Drive, The Serpent And The Rainbow, Cloverfield, Videodrome, Dawn of the Dead (Argento's cut!), A Tale of Two Sisters etcetera.
I have a reason for introducing myself here after my years of silent lurking. Actually, it's a question. Or an issue. Or something. Recent HW releases of movies like Prom Night, One Missed Call and Shutter seems to have intensified the rants and litanies against and about what seems to be a profitable curse in movieland: remakes. The online stance is uniform and firm: everybody loathes them. And I'm wondering just how justified that really is. How come it's artistically perfectly legitimate to base a movie on a novel, historic events, someone's life, dreams or whatever, as long as it's not another movie? What's so basically wrong about adapting a classic? Or just giving an older movie a contemporary work-over?

As for your remake question, I think most people see it as "if it isn't broken, don't fix it."

First off, welcome! I am new to DC myself, and a fan of pretty much all the directors you list.
Obviously I can only speak for myself and my other horror-loving friends that do not post here, but I believe that a large part of the problem with remakes is a frustration in the lack of creativity. And it seems to span all genres of film. Allow me to indulge in a bit of a rant regarding a film that, while not horror, I certainly found horrible: The Producers.
Not all that long ago really, Mel Brooks made a movie called The Producers. It was very funny. Then, decades later, a Broadway play was developed based on the film. This play was also funny. Then came the NEW movie, based on the play that was based on the OLD movie. Really? Because the entire concept seems even more ridiculous to me than Matthew Broderick's painfully awkward and awful impression of Gene Wilder, which is far easier to view from a distance on stage than larger than life on the big screen.
In the world of horror I will give you an example that I have noticed many of the people here take great delight in shitting on; Rob Zombie's Halloween.
I happen to be fond of Rob Zombie's "House of 1,000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects". Unfortunately, I am also quite fond of John Carpenter's Halloween and the supernatural entity that is Michael Myers. I'm sure one could argue that the social trends of the late 70's and 80's gave rise to the unkillable monsters like Michael, Jason and Freddy and that in this day and age, the horror that real people are capable of is what comes out more often in film.
Well that's just fine, but for me personally I'd much rather see some fresh, new examples of modern horror than to have the movies I hold in the highest nostalgic regard be re-tooled for the next generation.

Of course, those more well-versed than I am can sum it up in just once sentence.

Here's where my confusion lies. I fail to see how a remake would somehow break the original.
@Freak Monkey: I found RZ's Halloween frustrating, in that it could have been so much better had RZ kept the nihilistic mayhem up that he gave us in his other movies, and in Halloween's first reel. Sadly, the whole romp sort of deflated as it dragged on.
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is another fine example of a movie that gets an 'update' each decade or so. The thematic subtext is so strong and metaphoric that it lends itself perfectly for adaptation to whatever madness permeates the news on any given moment. What's left, in my humble opinion, is the bare skills of the moviemakers. Siegel? Great and original, but in all truthfulness also dated and campy. Kaufman? He really made the better movie. Ferrara? Original take on a pre-existing theme, one could even argue that it's not even a remake, and otherwise a fine movie. Hirschbiegel? More drama than horror, and I wasn't moved by it.
I remember how the announcement of Zack Snyder's DOTD remake was received. Bloody rape and murder, petitions and rants the lengths of which one could easily wallpaper a ballroom with, to protect a sacred masterpiece from being touched. In the end it turned out fine, simply because Snyder made an okay movie.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating or endorsing remakes. In fact, I totally agree: nothing beats a fresh idea well executed. But Prom Night, just to name one, sucks, not because it's a remake per se, but because it's mortally flawed on too many levels. A bad movie is, well, just a bad movie.

Fresh, new ideas in horror are few and far between so I'll take the remakes in the off chance that you get a good one.

Some of the contenders to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. in Congress battled it out in the 2nd district debate at the Governor's State University Thursday night.
It was a lively exchange between ten democrats on the stage at the campus in the south suburbs. They discussed everything from whether we should keep American troops in Afghanistan even after the president says combat operations will seize, to whether we should balance the budget with spending cuts, tax increases, or a combination of both.
Given the national discussion on gun control and recent hearings locally, it was no surprise that some of the sharpest exchanges during the debate were on the topic. FOX 32's Mike Flannery, who moderated the debate, asked for a show of hands on who supported the president's proposal for a ban on assault weapons and on high capacity ammunition magazines. Only one candidate disagreed with that proposal: Debbie Halvorson-- the former congresswoman who has the backing of the National Rifle Association.
"I refuse to support any other wide-ranging law that is going to harm a law-abiding citizen until we do something that is going to go after the criminal," Halvorson said.
All of the candidates agreed on issuing universal background checks before a gun could be purchased.
"Even though it's probably going to happen in the state of Illinois, I'm also against concealed carry," Robin Kelly said. "When do we say enough is enough with all the killings in Chicago and all the mass murders around the country?"
"If you have a car and if you sell that car, you have to transfer the title of that car. We need to do the same thing with guns so we can track where these guns are going and where they are coming from," Ald. Anthony Beale said.
Also weighing in on that issue was State Senator Toi Hutchinson, who in the past has run for the general assembly with the backing of the NRA. She has since broken ties with the group and supports all three of the president's proposal on the assault weapons ban, the ban on high-capacity ammo magazines, as well as universal background checks.
Two candidates in the Republican primary later this month also participated in an earlier encounter at Governor State University.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- One American League executive believes the Nationals will not get much in return for left-hander John Lannan in a trade because he is not considered one of the top pitchers in baseball.
According to the executive, there are some teams who are not willing to take on Lannan's $5 million salary.
"I wouldn't trade a premier center fielder for him. Maybe a backup center fielder," the executive said.
Lannan has been rumored to be on the trade block ever since the Nationals signed free-agent Edwin Jackson to a one-year deal in February.
General manager Mike Rizzo said early Wednesday that he is not actively trying to trade Lannan.
"The reports are coming from the media," Rizzo said. "We are not actively shopping John Lannan. I'm receiving calls about him. We are going to be open-minded about it. If a trade helps our ballclub in the present and in the future, we'll certainly consider it. We are not going to make a trade for the sake of making a trade."
Despite feeling strong, Strasburg scuffles
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg had arguably his worst outing of the spring in a 6-5 loss to the Braves on Wednesday night.
Strasburg pitched four innings, allowed four runs on five hits, struck out one batter and walked two others. He threw 73 pitches, 43 strikes. While his arm felt great, Strasburg acknowledged that he was stubborn during the game.
For example, Strasburg said he made a mistake trying to strike out Dan Uggla on a 1-2 fastball. Uggla, a dead fastball hitter, ended up hitting a two-run homer to give Atlanta a two-run lead. Strasburg said he should have focused more on location instead of trying to blow the hitter away with a fastball. Strasburg called it "immaturity" on his part.
"I have to take a step back and remember what I learned from last year: You have to go out there and pitch, not just throw it by guys," Strasburg said. "With power guys, it takes a little longer to fine tune and get the command where you want it.
"Knowing the type of pitcher that I am, once it clicks, it's there. I'm still day in and day out -- still trying to find it. It's going in the right direction. I go out and have a good first couple of batters and then get a little greedy and leave a couple of pitches up."
Manager Davey Johnson said Strasburg needed to relax and work on his command.
"He got up, didn't hit his spots, he didn't pitch," Johnson said. "He basically overthrew. I'm not worried about it. I don't like to see him amped up and trying to get more out of it. He is a pitcher and he hits his spots, he keeps the ball down.
"We are not in the regular season, you are hitting your spots, you work on your rhythm. When he tried to get the ball down, he was missing bad up."

Editorial: Unique courses earn appreciation
January Term brought an abundance of unique classes to students here at Linfield.
Many students are now requesting more innovative class offering and hoping for the chance to learn in new, unconventional ways.
"The Art and Science of Brewing" taught by Brian Gilbert, associate professor of chemistry, is a chemistry course that focuses on the production and analysis of brewing beer.
"The greatest part of this class was that it was intended to inspire the students. Our professor set it up so we were exposed to not only the science aspect of brewing, but we learned about the art, culture and hard work that goes into the craft beer industry. We all walked away with a greater appreciation for quality in general and the hard work it takes to get there," senior Libby Sturgess said.
When students signed up for the sociology class "Utopias and Dystopias," they weren't expecting to be taking a class on the zombie apocalypse. Luckily, everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Jeff Peterson, associate professor of sociology, gave students the unique chance to examine social issues like gender, race and socioeconomic inequality using zombies as a nonthreatening blank canvas to project society's fears upon.
"I did prefer the unique subject matter to the more traditional kind because it allowed for us students to get more excited to learn about the material … because we get our fair share of traditional material throughout our fall and spring semesters," junior Kyle Jones said.
These classes examined issues most classes would, but in a more stimulating and inventive way.
These innovative courses seemed to boost morale and increase student engagement in the classroom.
We applaud the professors who took a chance on a unique class and hope to see more in the future.
"I would like it if Linfield offered more unique classes because I believe it is beneficial to students because it allows us to become better-rounded through these unique courses and get out of our comfort zones," Jones said. "More unique course offerings will lead to the excitement of students to learn and come to class, and that can only benefit Linfield in a positive way."
Now, students are left wondering what exciting classes Linfield will offer next.

MLB.com Rays beat writer Bill Chastain participated in a live Web chat with fans on Wednesday. During the chat he answered many questions, including how Wade Davis will preform in the bullpen, if Jose Molina can handle being the everyday catcher and if the Rays will make the playoffs.
Bill Chastain: Good morning, everybody. After a few technical difficulties I'm ready to answer your Rays questions.
wizeguy34: How long will Molina be the starting catcher? Do the Rays have any other options?
Bill Chastain: Jose Lobaton and Chris Gimenez appear to be the only options right now, though Stephen Vogt is coming along -- particularly on the offense side. The big question will be how many games can Molina catch since 80-plus games is his career high.
punksroo: How do you think Davis will do emotionally coming out of the bullpen?
Bill Chastain: I think he will do fine. He is a pro and said all of the right things yesterday after receiving the news. I believe he has the potential to put out fires on a nightly basis.
punksroo: After observing the bats all spring, what are your expectations for the season?
Bill Chastain: Right now it's hard to say since they have not had their everyday lineup together all spring. I still like the way the lineup looks on paper, but there is some concern about starting the season without having played together much during the spring.
Bill Chastain: Keep sending in your questions.
wizeguy34: If (Kyle) Farnsworth gets hurt, would they use (Joel) Peralta again to close out games?
Bill Chastain: Peralta would be the first option. But there are a lot of guys in this year's bullpen who might step up to grab the ninth inning. I believe (J.P.) Howell will come back strong. Jake McGee, Fernando Rodney, and perhaps Davis.
punksroo: Who do you think will get the starting job at shortstop?
Bill Chastain: Sean Rodriguez looks like he has the inside track right now.
Bill Chastain: OK everyone I have time for a couple more questions. Fire away.
jknva: What are your 2012 division predictions?
Bill Chastain: I think the Yankees, Tigers and Rangers, with the Rays and Angels as the Wild Cards.
wizeguy34: Do you think they will call (Brandon) Guyer up at some point this year?
Bill Chastain: Sure, I think he will be up at some point this season. Every season brings a lot of player activity.
punksroo: Who plays the Rays in the World Series this year?
Bill Chastain: Phillies.
Bill Chastain: That's all the time we have. Thanks for all your questions.

Uptown and Blanchett announced plans in Janurary to vacate their roles at STC after six years, with their final season of programming as co-artistic directors to be presented in 2013. That season will be announced Sept. 6.
Blanchett will exit her role at STC, with Upton now remaining.
STC issued the following statement on Upton's renewal: "We are very pleased that we were able to convince Andrew to accept another three year term to continue this terrific creative momentum, after he and Cate made the decision to continue living in Australia. The board considers Andrew to be the best person to build on the outstanding work he and Cate have achieved. As incoming artistic director, Upton will immediately commence planning for the 2014 season."
Among the artists who performed at STC are Mel Gibson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Judy Davis, Hugo Weaving, Miranda Otto, Geoffrey Rush, Toni Collette, Rose Byrne and members of the original Broadway cast of August: Osage County.

CATEGORIES Animation, Family Films, Movie Marketing, Movies, CinematicalNPR talked about the onslaught of children's films at the box office lately on Day to Day last Friday and wondered about the quality control going on behind the scenes. They interviewed film historian Charles Solomon, who comments that the scarcity of animated and children's films used to make them an important part of a childhood experience, but things have changed. These days, the sheer amount of films pile on so quickly that before you blink, three different animated movies have been released at the box office. Suddenly you're buying everything from Flushed Away action figures to Over the Hedge video games, but your kids aren't getting the same messages and experience that you had when you saw The Rescuers for the first time.
It's no secret that kid's movies can rake in a ton of dough; the studios are busy falling all over themselves trying to make them. It seems like as more get churned out, fewer of them that have great stories and characters. They'll just market the hell out of them so that every box of cereal, kid's TV show, and billboard is plastered with images of the upcoming film and your children will refuse to eat anything green or brush their teeth until you take them to see it.
Now, I love animated films probably more than an adult should, but the problem is pretty rampant with the films aimed at children that are being released today, as we posted about previously on Cinematical. The trouble is that for every Spirited Away released, there comes a slew of films like Happy Feet, Barnyard, and The Ant Bully. These films took some critical hard hits, but they've made bags of cash (the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of Happy Feet has almost cleared $200 million already). Studios are more concerned with cranking out a product in a timely manner, even if it's sub-par and relies on fart jokes and recycled plots. As a result, quality children's entertainment is getting harder and harder to find. Parents may appreciate the fact that they can now take their kids to see a movie aimed at children almost any weekend now, rather than having to wait ... but at what cost?
What do you think, parents? Is the onslaught of animation worth the decrease in quality kiddie fare? Or is it enough just to be able to plunk your tot down for 90 minutes with a kiddie-pack combo, even if what they're seeing isn't quite up to the standards you remember from your own childhood hours at the movies?

In her article, "One Thing Needful: Becoming Women of Greater Faith in Christ," Patricia T. Holland explained:
- "In a poignant exchange with God, Adam states that he will call the woman Eve. And why does he call her Eve? 'Because she [is] the mother of all living.' (Genesis 3:20; Moses 4:26.)
"...Eve was given the identity of 'the mother of all living' --years, decades, perhaps centuries before she ever bore a child. It would appear that her motherhood preceded her maternity, just as surely as the perfection of the Garden preceded the struggles of mortality. I believe mother is one of those very carefully chosen words, one of those rich words--with meaning after meaning after meaning. We must not, at all costs, let that word divide us. I believe with all my heart that it is first and foremost a statement about our nature, not a head count of our children.
"...some women give birth and raise children but never 'mother' them. Others, whom I love with all my heart, 'mother' all their lives but have never given birth. And all of us are Eve's daughters, whether we are married or single, maternal or barren. We are created in the image of the Gods to become gods and goddesses." (Ensign, October 1987, pp. 32-33)

Defiant After Disbarment Ruling, Ex-Maricopa Attorney Andrew Thomas Compares Himself to Gandhi
Posted Apr 11, 2012 6:48 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Defiant after a Tuesday disbarment ruling by an Arizona Supreme Court disciplinary panel, a former Maricopa County attorney said in a Wednesday press conference that he is an innocent victim of a corrupt political and legal system.
Andrew Thomas also complained that he wasn't properly defended because the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, with which he has been at odds, interfered with his legal representation by firing his lawyers or refusing to pay them appropriately, according to the Arizona Capital Times (sub. req.), KTAR and the Republic.
"Someone has to fight for justice," said Thomas, as he likened himself to Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
He said he hasn't yet decided whether to appeal the disbarment ruling, which takes effect May 10. However, he plans to write a book, for which he has a contract, and pursue a voter initiative to battle public corruption.

|Siefker, Beining lead Lady Green past Rockets
|Wednesday, January 16, 2013 3:30 PM
The home Rockets came out strong in the first quarter and battled the Lady Green to a 7-7 tie after the first eight minutes of play. The Lady Green, struggling to find its offensive flow, got five of the seven first-quarter points from 6-2 senior Abby Siefker. On the other hand, the Lady Rockets notched their seven points through a deep 3-ball by 5-6 senior Ashley Williams and two points off the bench from both juniors Olivia Maag and Ashley Alt.
Lady Green head coach Dave Kleman knows he needs to prepare for everybody to throw their best shot at his team: "We kind of expect everybody's best shot, especially early. You could tell when they were warming up that they were ready to play. We absorbed the blow in the first quarter and gave a lot back to them compared to what they threw at us the first eight minutes."
The second quarter saw the Lady Green start g on track with their inside-outside game as Siefker connected on five more points, followed by 6-0 senior Rachel Beining with four points. Senior Rachel Turnwald and junior Taylor Mangas buried threes of their own, helping the Lady Green pull away to a 22-13 lead at halftime.
The Lady Rockets struggled from the field in the quarter going 3-12 and only having two girls: Megan Maag with four points and Keri Conine with two; dent the scoring column.
Lady Green junior Tonya Kaufman left the game at the 4:00 mark in the second quarter with an apparent knee injury. She returned to the bench in the second half with her knee wrapped in ice and did not play the entire second half.
The third quarter saw the Lady Green's Beining getting the ball down low, hitting the boards aggressively and torching the nets for eight of her 16 points as they extended their lead to 37-20 after three.
The third quarter, much like the second quarter for the Lady Rockets, was a cold shooting performance; they could only garner seven points in the quarter behind 1-6 shooting from inside the arc and 1-8 from 3-point land.
The last eight minutes of play saw both teams emptying their respective benches as the game was out of reach for the Lady Rockets as the Lady Green moved on to push their overall record to 14-0 and 5-0 in the PCL.
Coach Kleman was pleased with his team and especially the play of Beining: "I thought Rachel Beining had a great game for us tonight, as did the whole team. We expect a lot out of our girls every night and that's what makes us tough because we have several girls, as Rachel did tonight for us, that can step up and lead the team on any given night."
The Lady Rockets (8-5, 3-1 PCL) were led in scoring by Williams and Maag with 11 and 9 points, respectively. They were 12-49 (24%) from the field, 5-8 (63%) from the stripe, hauled down 19 rebounds and committed 12 turnovers.
Both teams will be back in action this week as Pandora-Gilboa will host Van Buren Thursday night and Ottoville will host the Minster Wildcats Saturday.

A letter writer from Waterford responded to my remarks about the Republican Party and where our country is headed. Those are my thoughts. She chose to attack on my inner child, but I don't have an inner child. That was stolen from me at the age of 8 or 9 by an abusive stepfather, but I went on to have a wonderful life that I can be proud of. It's nice that the letter writer raised three children, but that doesn't make you almighty God. You have no right to pick on me as an individual.

I'm calling about our president wanting more gun control. Crooks don't care about laws. How ignorant can someone be to believe that more laws will solve the problem? Obama scoffs at the NRA suggestion to put armed guards in our schools. You can take all the guns away from the people, but you should realize that his family is heavily guarded all the time. Beware of the time when the only people that have guns are members of the government.

Liberal columnist Bill Kalmar should at least get his facts straight. He said the Clinton gun ban expired in 1994. It didn't. He said crimes with banned weapons declined during that period. They did not, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He tries to make a connection between old Christmas movies, Christmas carols and gun violence. What the left believes, however, is that the Benghazi massacre was caused by a rogue video protected by the First Amendment. So where is the outcry from the left to tighten up the First Amendment. Leave the Second Amendment alone.

First I'll start off by saying that this was my first cruise (and for my fiancee as well; her first cruise on the Oceanos doesn't count). I'm definitely glad that we went with Norwegian first, instead of Celebrity or Cunard which would have been my first choices. My expectations were exceeded in every way. The food was amazing and the staff friendly, happy, and willing to go the extra mile. We didn't have one bad meal or drink on board, and that was just eating in the main dining room. The one specialty restaurant we ate at was Moderno Churruscaria, and we're glad that's the one we chose. Great cuts of meat, and all you can eat!
Definitely get at least a mini-suite. They're very spacious and really not that expensive. We met a couple aboard and I was able to see their oceanview stateroom. If it's all you can afford, it's not bad at all, but if you're like me, a balcony on a ship is a must have.
Overall we had a wonderful time. The only complaint I have with the ship itself is a trivial one, which I won't describe here. I wasn't too thrilled with the itinerary, though. No big deal, just a lesson learned for my own tastes. Don't let that reflect badly on the ship! It's a lovely ship, beautiful and luxurious, and with plenty to do. You won't be bored if you want excitement, and if you want to relax, you can do that too. It's amazing that with over 2,200 passengers on board, it really doesn't feel like it.
Enjoy your cruise on the lovely Pearl! She is a jewel indeed.

Still stoked after twenty years of ice climbing
"The passion for the sport, a love of life, a certain ethic, commitment, a desire to explore, the desire to improve… Climbing gives meaning to my life. In short, that is who I am. Every person carries within himself the opportunity to live a happy life in harmony with what he loves and I try in every way I can to be that kind of person. As such, Petzl has always been an important partner, not only for their sponsorship but also for their friendship and philosophy. I try to explore and push my limits. A bit like the film "Le Grand Bleu", I tend to look for what's on the other side to understand the significance of what's possible and, at the same time, the meaning of life."
Has my childhood prepared me for my job as an alpinist?
"No, not really. Both my parents are alpinists but I always wanted to be a pilot. Then I wanted to be a soldier. During my childhood, it was Ayrton Senna who inspired me the most with his willingness to constantly progress (and. as a result, I crashed a few cars…). In addition, if I wasn't doing what I do now, I would be a pilot. Why? Is there any link between that and my life today? What is it? I don't know."
A geographical link
"The places where I feel the best are northern Norway, Alberta province in the western Canada, and all of Slovenia. Slovenia is my home. I am emotionally attached to it because it's possibly one of the most diverse countries on the planet. Although I have traveled extensively, you should understand that I love my country.
In Canada, you always receive a very warm welcome. I love to go back there because of the feeling you get of freedom and immensity, which makes me happy. In Canada you can leave behind the crowds and the hectic lifestyle of Europe.
It's the same thing in Norway, especially the northern part where man exists hand in hand with nature to create unbelievable scenarios. This combination comes from working creatively in a really difficult environment."
My working relationships
"Financial matters are not the most important thing in my life, but perhaps it's part of the secret to being happy. I love to be surrounded by true friends. I love to work with partners who show mutual respect and openness. I like to work on a win/win basis, which makes everyone happy. My partners, employers and clients are: the Alpine Association of Slovenia, Mountain Rescue Service, Slovenian Mountain Guide Association, and The School of Rhetorical Skills in Ljubljana."
"I spend a lot of time reading and writing. Douglas Adams, Arthur C. Clarke and Richard Bach are a few of my favorite authors.
My favorite books are:
- "Childhood's" End by Arthur C. Clarke .(Perhaps there is a future for humanity)
- "Illusions" by Richard Bach. (We are the creators of our own lives.)
- "Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest Gann. (The true story of a pilot who talks about the unpredictable direction that destiny always takes us.)
The two films that have caught my attention the most are:
- "Blade Runner". (This film shows us another dimension of life that we think we know. We discover what we already know and what we are about to learn.)
- "Pulp Fiction". (We must stay in control of life so that we don't suffer all the time.)"
Proper use of rhetoric
"My primary objective is to share my experiences. I teach young climbers, I organize slideshows. I write about rock climbing and mountain safety. I am a mountain guide, and I design an educational curriculum for alpine instructors. It's a great honor for me to share my knowledge with others and to learn at the same time."
Patience, faith, tranquility and consistency
"In five years, my life will not be very different. I will continue to take advantage of my good fortune, take the necessary turns and make the right choices based on my instinct, and to share with the people that I love. If I had no limits for example, I would go back in time, take Guy Lacelle by the hand and I would choose an ice route that we would climb together and that he would list as one of his favorites. Guy Lacelle is the master who introduced me to ice climbing."
Aljaz's anecdote
"Many of my climbing stories have one thing in common: a car accident. There must be a reason but perhaps I should just be thankful for the luck I have in the mountains because, in the end, crashing cars is not a high price to pay. The result is that there is a reputation following me that it is less stressful to go climbing with me than to get in the car with me."

Why Men Suffer in Silence: Male Depression
The Underlying Problem
One afternoon when I was a young doctor I was at a routine administrative meeting with a senior physician when he unexpectedly opened up to me. Overweight and red-faced, he paced his office smoking the cigarette he was seldom without. He started telling me of his concern for his daughter, whom he feared was an alcoholic. At the end of our conversation he commented on how physically tired he felt. There was something about his voice that made me hesitate at the door, wondering if I should ask more. But I decided it would be intrusive, even presumptuous.
I still regret that I was so timid. The next day I learned that he had lain down on the couch in his office after I left and died of a heart attack at age 58. I was the last person who ever saw him alive. I'll never know if I could have at least postponed that tragedy.
That experience and others I've had since with men who were patients or friends have made me think long and hard about how men process the inevitable pressures we all face and how their responses affect their health.
At a dinner party a few years ago I proposed to the men at the table that depression was more common among males than we were aware of. "Of course it is," one of them answered instantly. "That's why we die first."
He was referring to the well-known fact that men tend to predecease women by an average of five years. Over the 40 years that I have practiced medicine with special training in cardiovascular health I have tried to understand why this is so. Why, for example, are men about 10 years younger than women when they develop cardiovascular problems -- and also have their first heart attacks at an earlier age? Why, by the age of 45, are they significantly more likely to develop coronary artery disease (CAD)? I helped pioneer the discipline of gender-specific medicine to explore these differences and to ensure that medicine develops information that enables us to treat both sexes effectively.
The significance of one male-female difference that has become increasingly clear to me is that men are notably reluctant to discuss the emotional issues that often underpin health problems. For example, a male patient will come in upset that he has accumulated fat in his midsection and complain that he cannot lose the weight no matter how he tries. Upon examination it's found that he has high blood pressure and diabetes. There's no doubt he has physical ailments. But when I dig deeper and talk to him, I find that an underlying depression is at the root of his problems.

|Paulding woman killed in 14-vehicle crash on U.S. 24
|Wednesday, February 06, 2013 3:11 PM
Around 8 a.m. Tuesday, Ashley A. Messmann, 28, of Paulding tried to cross U.S. 224 at Paulding County Rd. 87. She drove her 2000 Chevrolet Blazer northbound through the intersection but was struck by a 2007 Volvo semi pulling a tanker with approximately 1,500 gallons of 97-percent ethanol liquid. The tanker ruptured in the crash and the ethanol leaked into the median. The driver of the truck was Dale D. Janssens, 41, of Monroe, Mich.
After the initial crash, seven more crashes occurred as vehicles in both the eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. 24 tried to avoid the wreckage. In those seven related crashes, nine people were taken to numerous hospitals for treatment on non-life threatening injuries. Messmann was pronounced dead at the scene by the Paulding County coroner.
According to the OSHP, the ethanol spill presented no immediate threat to the local community and was contained by crews from several fire departments and the E.P.A.
In all, 14 vehicles were involved in the crash — 11 commercial vehicles, two passenger cars and a pickup truck hauling excavating equipment. The area was covered by a thick fog at the time of the wreck. Visibility at the time was reported to be less than 100 feet.
The Highway Patrol was assisted on scene by Paulding County Sheriff's Department, multiple fire and E.M.S. departments, Paulding and Defiance County's Emergency Management Agency, Ohio Department of Transportation, the Red Cross and the E.P.A.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash and seat belt use is not known at this time. The crash remains under investigation.

Good product
By MsSwimLoco from Loudoun County VA on 8/21/2014 8:36:01 AM
I bought this for my tablet to use at pool and on boat. I do not need to put it underwater but use to prevent losing it in an emergency. The multiple seals will protect it from water. In pool I have it deckside while I am in water but I could also use it on a raft.

Without regard to countervailing disadvantages, can anyone name some advantages that rigid stemmed cams offer over the modern variety?
Sometimes easier to get unstuck because leverage on the cams can be applied through the stem. However, the ridgid stem contributes to walking in my opinion.
My experience has been that they're more predictable and generally more stable, but if you sling 'em short or omit a 'draw, the motion of the rope can make them walk a little more readily than the flex-stems will. Since I'm kinda short, I like the fact that they extend my reach. Their rigidity is key to that advantage. I also think that the old ones, at least, are less attractive to gear thieves. Never mind that some of the ones we use are the original nutted axles, nearly 30 years old and working just fine. Lastly, you don't cry as much when you leave them on a retreat as you would if you left something more modern, a.k.a. expensive.
they are lighter in many cases
They will occasionally work in a flared horizontal placement where no other cam will hold. This is due to the bar stock acting like a lever. Sounds crazy but it's true.
i just went and counted...33 rigid Friends,, and paid for. They last forever and they work.
I've found that in horizontal placements the rigid stem acts as a lever (with the bottom lip of the crack acting as a fulcrum) to press the cam even more forcefully into the sides (top & bottom) of the crack.
I think at tied-off rigid stem cam is the strongest horizontal crack protection there is, and, again with the tie-off, they are stronger in shallow featured vertical cracks where the cam has to be placed perependicular to the cliff face. The tie-offs are, however, critical, because otherwise the torque on the stem can be too much and the stem breaks. In the first case, the downward load on the stem produces an outward force on the cam which is a fraction of the total load, so it would take a lot to extract the cam. I know of some rigid-stem placements that were made in flaring horizontals in the Gunks BITD that might not hold at all with today's flexible stems. In the second case, a flexible stem loads the cams almost perpendicular to their expansion plane, nearly nullifying the mechanical principles that make a cam work. The rigid stem provides torque that gives the cams a chance to expand against the crack walls.
Hi Alex. (I have at least 25 rigid Friends myself.) Somebody else asked a question similar to yours here a while back and I felt motivated enough to write the following: Friends are really TOO good i.e., they almost never wear out because it's a big chunk of aviation grade aluminum. I think they were over-designed for an industry where consumers with sort attention spans want something newer and more high-speed every year. Friends are the 1911 Colt .45 of cams - a tad heavy, forever reliable and not as sexy as plastic stuff. Limits: rigid friends are not what you want in sizes less than a #1.5 (Red Metolius) because the stem takes up too much space and they will get stuck easily. (You will find old #1's and #1.5's out there welded to eternity and they would probably still save your life.) Also the Friend should not have stem cross-loaded as in a horozontal placement. However, people needlessly regard that limitation as though it were some huge threat which is completely solved by a cable. Horozontal placements are rarely ideal and not that common either. Even then, you can often bury a Friend back in there with the sling running over the edge instead of metal. Honestly if you fell far and hard on a cable that was bent 90 degrees over a horozontal edge, there is a good chance of cutting the damn cable and anyway, I would toss it even it it held. I recommend having a pile of rigid friends...and a 1911 for that matter. Keep both clean, loaded and ready to go. Anyway it's pretty clear that their popularity has waned despite Wild Country's improved the design in last couple of years they were made (1999 or 2000?).
They're old school, which always makes everything superior.
I only have one bootied rigid stem. I've never had any problems with it, although I should look into that tie off to make it a little safer. I really didn't know they were considered more solid in horizontal placements with that mod.
Rigids are light and durable. And the 1911 .45 kicks a$$. Best handgun I ever shot.
I like how she tries to flirt with the boys. Charmed I'm sho.
I also have a brand new complete set of rigid stems from 1991(never used). I love them! Should I resling them. You guys think the nylon is bad?
I have one set of flexible stems and Rigid-stems, as well as a variety of smaller sizes/models... Love my Rigids. Buy one and test it out-You will see. I fell in love with one when we decided to test an old worn out/rusted/seen better days Rigid-Stem in a class. That thing held everything in a variety of placements. Obviously certain placements are ideal for flexible stems but isn't that the point of gear? Pro's/Con's to each piece? Try one. You will see. Cheers! -A
+1 for rigid stems. Got a set for free from one of the coolest dudes I�ve never met and I love them, they are bomb proof. I now have both types of cams and still find a situation on almost every climb where the rigid is a better suited placement. Although I do agree the smaller sizes have much fewer applications. But hey what do I know I still mostly use my nuts.
They seem to walk more, but I also find them a bit easier to clean. As for the greater weight, well, let's just say if an extra half pound of gear keeps me from sending then I probably wasn't going to succeed with something modern either.
This thread makes me regret selling my forged rigid friends. :-( That said I like my cams, and I love Totems! I've never seen something grip as well as a Totem cam.
What about the nylon webbing on my rigid stems? You think it's safe to climb on 20 year old nylon webbing that never has been used. It looks brand new. Supposedly nylon, even when never used has a max life expectancy of 5 years. What you think?
Yes, its safe to climb. However, if you are going to fall you might want new webbing. Get them reslung. Its cheap.

Town Square
City Council needs to be downsized and by district
Original post made by openspace on Jul 24, 2007
We need to downsize the council to 5 council members which will represent zones of Palo Alto. This would create a fairer representation of the City and ensure that the council members will represent their zones when enacting new city resolutions.
I would also argue for a four year term Mayor who could focus on issues like Fire Department, education and City Growth. The revolving one year term is not doing the job for city needs.
Looking at the Zone Map, I believe that the zoning for Council members should be
Council 1 = Zones 1, 4 and 5
Council 2 = Zones 2, 3 and 6
Council 3 = Zones 8, 9 and 7
Council 4 = Zones 10,11, 12 and 13
Council 5 = Zones 14, 15 and 16
Council 6 should be reserved for the Vice Mayor
Take a look at the Zone Map of Palo Alto and map out out each council members to see what areas they represent. You will see that it is disproportional. The same is true for those serving on other commission such as the Planning and Transportation.

I think this is a really interesting idea, especially since this city does have defined neighborhoods. Out of curiousity, do the above zones match how real estate agents/media like the Weekly determine neighborhoods?
on Jul 24, 2007 at 1:19 pm
Great idea although I did find the detailed map hard to work out with corresponding zones.
on Jul 24, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Openspace, I agree Council representation needs changing. Given the fact that Council recently gave the Roth Building a further several hundred thousand to finish their dream of creating a Palo Alto Museum then balked at funding Fire Station 8 is despicable. Of course the Roth Building is in North Palo Alto, Fire Station 8 is out of site out of mind in the Hills.
Last year PAN looked into the possibility of reducing Council from 9 to 7 members. It would required changing the City Charter. Such a change would require 6,000 signatures on a ballot measure; without posting a petition on the internet - Good Luck.
I am opposed to a 4 years elected Mayor because if that Mayor turned out to be an ineffectual Mayor, you could not remove him/her from office for 4 years - you would be stuck with him/her. Also he/she would want a big fat salary.

GLOUCESTER — Police said a bicyclist rode into the side of a city street sweeper vehicle as the sweeper turned from Washington Street onto North Kilby Street Friday about 5:17 p.m.
The street sweeper driver flagged down an officer on patrol and told him of the accident, according to police, who said the driver thought the patrol officer had come after hearing a report of the collision.
Police said the cyclist — who was thrown from his bicycle during the accident — had left by the time police came across the street sweeper. But the street sweeper told police the male cyclist got up from the ground after the accident and noted that the bicycle's frame was bent from the collision, according to the police report.
A 55-year-old Florida woman was charged with drunken driving after her vehicle struck a pole on Washington Street Saturday about 2:43 p.m.
Police charged Carol C. Medcalfe of Miami with drunken driving, operating outside of license restrictions and operating a vehicle recklessly to endanger. Police said Medcalfe told officers at the scene she had been drinking the night before, and had taken a Vicodin pill four hours earlier.
Police arrested a 24-year-old Summit Street man and charged him with drunken driving after a person reported the man driving erratically on 128 North near exit 14.
Police said an officer stopped Stephen A. Parsons near the Exit 14 interchange and arrested him on the drunken driving charge as well as for a marked lanes violation and two prior warrants for his arrest.

Mr. John Schuler, age 78, died at Spokane Hospice House in Spokane on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012. The cause of death was a long-term battle with Parkinson's Disease. John was born to become a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
Born Feb. 21, 1933, in Colville, his family moved to the Spokane area the next year where he lived until 1970. John then resided in the Deer Park, Clayton and Loon Lake communities.
John was a 1952 graduate of John Rogers High School and a track team athlete.
In a game where points were at a premium, the Colville Indians went on a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to secure a 51-47 win over the Riverside Rams on Friday.
The Rams (0-7, 4-13) trimmed the Indian lead to 36-32 on a Logan Owens' 3-pointer with 6:10 remaining.
Colville (5-2, 11-7) retaliated with baskets by Matt Hubbard, JR. Henry and Taylor Murto and a 3-pointer by Henry over the 3:30 to stretch the lead back to 45-32.
The Rams, who only shot 32 percent from the floor, tried to get back into the game, only to see the Indians stay a step ahead over the last 2:49.
The Colville Indians, sparked by a pair of Tasha Luu baskets, finally pulled away from the Riverside Lady Rams 50-38 in Northeast A League basketball action on Friday.
The Lady Rams, who cut the Indians' lead to 42-36 on a Courtney Davis basket with 5 minutes to play, saw Colville close out the game with an 8-2 run, sparked by Luu's performance.
The win improved Colville's NE-A record to 6-1 (11-5 overall), while Riverside fell to 1-6, 6-11.
The Deer Park City Council has begun the first steps in installing a surveillance camera at Swinyard Park.
The council agreed to purchase $9,400 in remote camera equipment for the park and a central control system in city hall from WOW, a wireless company in Spokane.
The city has set aside $21,700 for video surveillance equipment in this year's budget. The equipment is designed to control crime problems in the park and as a safety measure at city hall.
Director of Community Services Roger Krieger expects the surveillance equipment to be operational by this spring.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Jan. 21 at the Chattaroy Community Church, E3711 Chattaroy Road, for area resident Muriel (Smith) Oberg, 76, who passed away on Jan. 14, 2012.
Born on Nov. 5, 1935 in her aunt's log cabin near Newport, to George and Rena Smith, she married Leonard Oberg in 1954 and together they raised four children in Spokane.
She went to work for Pacific NW Bell in 1954 and retired from Qwest in 1991.
Robert Allen Smith passed away on Jan. 10, 2012, at the age of 81. He was the second of seven sons born on Aug. 27, 1930, in Hayford, Wash., to George and Ruth (Crofoot) Smith.
Robert had fond memories of spending time in his grandparents' orchard along Peach Crest in Old Kettle Falls and of living near the " Milk Bottle" in Spokane. He graduated from Newport High School and EWCE (now EWU.
He was a veteran of the Korean War, then a long-time draftsman and handyman.
The Deer Park boys basketball team got five points from Blake Starbuck in the final 2 minutes to edge the Cheney Blackhawks 54-52 on Tuesday.
Starbuck tied the game at 50-50 with a short jumper and gave the Stags a 51-50 lead with a free throw with 1:02 remaining. The Blackhawks took their final lead on a basket by John Gingrich only to see Starbuck help the Stags regain the lead a 53-52 with two more free throws.
Uconn Peone's free throw with 13 seconds left gave Deer Park the final margin of victory.
"They're starting to play together," said Stag head coach Ken Ryan.
The Cheney Blackhawks unleashed a combination of an aggressive man-to-man defense and dominant post play to defeat the Deer Park girls basketball team 47-27 on Tuesday.
The Cheney defense stymied the Deer Park offense for most of the game. The Lady Stags never led in the game as the Blackhawks jumped out to an early 12-4 lead.
Cheney's 5-foot-11 forward Allie Brown keyed the early surge by hitting her first four shots.
In what has become a yearly tradition, community fair organizers have begun fretting about the state's financial commitment to the events.
With the Legislature looking to close a $3 billion budget shortfall this spring, the $2 million the state spends on fair funding is on the chopping block.
Clayton Community Fair Manager Janice Purdy said her event receives about $3,000 a year in state funds. That money must be used for youth premium awards, ribbons and trophies.
The Riverside girls basketball team, using a balance attack, defeated the Chewelah Cougars 47-34 for their first Northeast A League win in four tries.
The Lady Rams were finally able to put some distance between themselves and the Cougars with a 9-3 run to end the second quarter. The offensive spurt was highlighted by a three-point shot by Brielle Supanchick at the halftime buzzer.
First-year Riverside coach Buddy Wood was pleased with the way his team ran the offense, especially the way they moved the ball on the perimeter looking for the open shot.

It's asparagus season, and artichokes are abundant, too.
To celebrate spring, this easy-to-prepare platter is perfect for graduation parties or Mothers' Day, and can be adapted according your preferences.
1 pound (1 bunch) fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed
1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and halved or quartered
1/4 pound prosciutto, thinly sliced
1/4 pound salami, sliced into bite-sized rounds or pieces
1 cup Kalamata olives (or other olives of choice)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1⁄3 pound sliced Provolone cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed or minced
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 orange
Pinch each of salt and ground black pepper
Blanch the asparagus in boiling, salted water for 3-4 minutes, then rinse with cold water or cool in an ice bath. Drain well.
Zest the orange, and juice half for the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk all of the dressing ingredients together. Toss the blanched asparagus and artichokes in 2 tablespoons of the dressing and marinate for 60 minutes.
Once asparagus and artichokes have finished marinating, arrange the antipasto on a large platter, and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve with fresh crusty bread or baguette slices.
Serving Suggestion
Use your favorite bottled Italian vinaigrette dressing to make this appetizer platter even simpler. Add a smoked cheese for more rustic flavor.

Travel agent runs Hawaii vacation scam in MichiganUPDATED 7:41 PM HST Jul 31, 2013
A travel agent in Michigan sold many vacation packages to Hawaii, but when travelers arrived, they discovered that their trips had not been paid.Video Transcript
package deals to Hawaii that turned out to be RAW deals instead. A travel agent in Michigan is taking the fall for a six-figure scam that ruined LOTS of vacations... It was supposed to be Lynn Mattel's dream vacation - 14 family members off to Hawaii - all prepaid through a package deal. But when she arrived in Waikiki, the hotel told her - the travel agency hadn't paid. MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO GET ON THE PHONE AND CALL THE TRAVEL AGENT . I WAS SURE THERE WAS SOME MISTAKE.

Kane has pleaded no contest to the charges against her. Her sentencing is set for next month.
