As a junior at Ohio State, left tackle Mike Adams had the makings of a top 10 pick. Then he got suspended by the Buckeyes and his draft stock quickly dropped. It went back up at the Senior Bowl when he measured in at 6-foot-7 and had good practices.
Now at the NFL Combine, Adams' stock appears to again be tumbling. It's been a rough week for Adams that started out with a poor 19 repetitions in the 225-pound bench press. That led Mike Mayock of NFL Network to quip "that's not acceptable for that position, not even close.''
Mayock has also questioned Adams' work ethic, citing his two suspensions and the bench press number. And while the 40-yard dash is largely meaningless for offensive linemen, Adams' times of 5.31 and 5.38 (unofficially) won't help him either. On Thursday, Adams talked about his strengths and weaknesses, but didn't mention his work ethic or stamina.
"I think my athleticism and blocking in space I think is definitely a strength," Adams said. "I like to play through the whistle in the run game. I would say that my consistency with my technique in pass protection. Getting my hands a little bit too wide sometimes and oversetting are two things I definitely need to work on."
Adams has one more chance to quickly bounce his stock back up. Ohio State holds its pro day workout on March 9.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" (PG-13) is the 10th film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and also probably the silliest. The good news is that director James Gunn's film is silly in all the right ways. It's never insultingly silly like "Batman & Robin" or unknowingly silly like "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." Rather, "Guardians of the Galaxy" basks in its silliness and has a blast with its outlandish premise. Since the film never takes itself too seriously, the audience is ironically able to take it more seriously than most straight-faced science fiction epics. In a summer of dark, gritty blockbusters, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is the life of the party.
Sunday, March 9
It wasn't just another nationally televised disappointment for the Arizona Cardinals. It was, for all intents and purposes, another season ending before Halloween.
Scoreboards are shorting out. Schools are running out of replacement light bulbs. Stat keepers and scoreboard operators are getting carpal tunnel and blurred vision trying to watch and write seemingly every two seconds while the big board changes seemingly every two minutes.
Outlook: From transition to transition, Scottsdale Christian coach Kevin Allen knows a thing or two about change.
Michael Westbrook knows a little something about speed after an eight-year NFL career as a wide receiver, but he still wasn't prepared for the mad dash of his two-year-old daughter.
We've hit the "dead" zone.
D.J. Peterson will be home from college soon, and little brother Dustin will be there waiting with a smile on his face and a paddle in his hand.
Spring sprang, and now summer has set in.
Spring sprang, and now summer has set in.
Wayne Brown spent decades working to improve Mesa, from its arts programs to its financial standing. Under his leadership on the city council and as mayor, the city saw a new spring training facilities built, a new convention center created and the establishment of the Mesa Arts Center.
The pendulum of momentum swung back and forth several times in the sixth inning of Thursday's winners' bracket baseball game between No. 1 Desert Mountain and No. 2 Tucson.
Among the not-so-favorite memories from high school, standing in front of the class to deliver a presentation ranks right up there. Remember, the clammy palms, racing heart, dry throat and jumbled nerves?
With just over a month left in the spring regular season in most sports, it is time to take a look at where local teams stand with hopes of making the postseason.
On the one hand, it's not much of a surprise that the Horizon baseball team won the Big League Dugout Invitational on Thursday night.
The Mountain Pointe baseball team has probably seen enough of Brophy until May.
Short-term memory is a hard thing to expect over the course of a five-day tournament.
The major league scouts who surrounded Mountain Pointe's baseball field on Tuesday should have come back Wednesday morning to truly see what Zach Cordova is about.
SAN FRANCISCO — If you're a baseball fan looking to add a new pastime to your vacation itinerary, consider setting a goal to visit all 30 of the sport's major league stadiums.
The Mountain Pointe baseball team is hot right about now.
The lasting image of the 2012 baseball season was Dylan Cozens blasting a walk-off, opposite-field homer to lift Chaparral to the Division I championship over Brophy.
Here we go again? Club soccer vs. high school soccer?
Am I the only one who's waiting to see if Arizona running back Beanie Wells writes his home phone number and email address on the back of his helmet for today's 49ers game? Perhaps he can put it right over the Cardinals logo, since that doesn't mean anything to him anymore.
New Year's Eve is the last day local school districts will be accepting tax credit donations for the year.

Dirk goes first. He votes for Sue and says, "I love you, but I just can't stand the complainin'." Sean votes for Rudy and says, "For the first time I'm voting for Rudy, only because this is probably an athletic competition coming up that we're gonna have to win, and that's the only reason I would cast a vote against him. He's a phenomenal person." Sean's earnest, or perhaps he's too dumb to be deceitful; either way, he's so sad he looks like he might cry. I'd cry too if my one source of amusement was getting the boot. Kelly votes for Dirk, and that's all we'll see before Peachy merrily heads off to count the votes. Dirk and Rudy look nervous and Sean appears incredibly alert. The votes read as follows: one for Dirk; one for Sue, who grins and sneakily looks sideways at Richard; one for Rudy; and another for Dirk. At this point, Peachy explains that there have been two votes for Dirk, in case we can't count that high. The third vote is for Dirk, and he's grinning and nodding his head, so either he doesn't realize that three sends him off, or else he thinks he's winning some kind of contest. Sean looks sad, and Dirk looks happy, confused and basically like an idiot as he gets snuffed. He sends a peace-out to his teammates and a "Good luck," then heads off to meet his maker.
Next week on Survivor: Richard goes all nude all the time, and Tagi wins both challenges, because the Pagong team's eyes spontaneously start to bleed.
As the credits roll, Dirk thanks the Lord for this "unbelievable blessing" and "wild trip." He believe he "kicked it" as hard as he could. And now he can come down from his tapioca-induced high, and return home to his Vanilla Ice tape collection.

Hi thanks for the info.
The only hit I had from my library of 5000 names was Mari Jensdatter b. ? at Omsi Perish d. 1693, married to Amund Jakobson b. 1634 at Omsi Perish and d. 1697 who had a son Kristin Amundsen b. 1665, but probably doesn't quite fit into the time period.
Which part of this world are you from?
I live In Leduc, Alberta.
Thanks Terrance.

There are a lot of people working hard to help those without a home. Many of them gathered at the Salvation Army shelter in midtown on Thursday for a civic luncheon to honor the Tucson Foundations for its generous support of the brand-new Hospitality House that's currently under construction.
The current shelter off Speedway is old and falling apart and leaders from Tucson's Salvation Army say it would cost $7.5-million to rebuild it.
Homelessness is a problem in Tucson. According to a new report released by the Census Bureau, Tucson ranked "sixth-poorest" of U.S. cities. Tucson's poverty rate is 20% compared to the national average of 16%.
With the dilapidated shelter just getting worse and more expensive to upkeep, the decision was made to build a brand-new Hospitality House. Shawna Kroh, public relations director, says, "the existing Hospitality House, which opened in 1964, is a 91-bed facility that operates nonstop to house, feed and serve the homeless population. However, time and traffic has taken a toll on the building, and the division determined that the changing population and community needs warranted a new shelter that could better assist its clients."
Not only will it be much bigger, more modern, and able to house single men with children, it will be cheaper to build new than to remodel the old. The new Hospitality House is projected to cost $7.2 million-dollars and the Salvation Army is turning to the community for help in raising the construction funds.
Kroh says, "the new shelter is projected to be one of Tucson's largest homeless shelters, and will replace the existing one. The goal is to provide safe shelter, food, and support services, as well as offer an avenue towards self-sufficiency. The shelter will provide a 109-bed facility, two family units, and veteran and special needs programs."
The Salvation Army says homeless women, men, and families will find caring, compassion, and hope for the future at the new Hospitality House.
The Salvation Army has served the Tucson community since 1893. 100% of every cent donated to the local Salvation Army stays in Tucson to help people in need here at home.

Conservation advocacy group American Rivers has released its annual list of endangered waterways – and this year the Colorado River is at the top of the list.
The Colorado Water Institute and Colorado State University are hard at work studying water distribution problems along the South Platte. But what exactly are those issues?
A final study analyzing the future of the Colorado River Basin says the gap between supply and demand over the next 50 years is expected to be significant.
Spirits were high on Sunday at this year's annual whitewater race. The race was run in "blackwater" as soot ran into the Poudre River from High Park Fire burn areas.
River projects in 10 Western and Pacific Northwest states have been included in a program to conserve and restore key rivers across the nation.

Happy birthday to my love and my favorite clown, John! We celebrated after the show with wine, junk food, and four episodes of "Girls".

But everyone sent John wonderful birthday greetings throughout the entire day, so I know we weren't far from people's thoughts. :)

NBC fans and Apple TV users – if you're a member of both these categories, it's time to celebrate. NBC has finally updated its iOS app with AirPlay. So if you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can start streaming your favorite TV episodes on your HDTV, starting today.
We've already discussed around ten great dual screen AirPlay games for the Apple TV in our previous posts. In case you missed them, you can read them here:
- 5 best AirPlay-enabled dual screen games for Apple TV
- 5 more great AirPlay-enabled dual screen games for Apple TV
Thanks to our wonderful fans, we've been introduced to a few more of such split-screen games. Though not as spectacular or flawless as the ones in the previous lists, the following are surely worth a look. We've also included a list of unconventional dual screen games further down.
New Apple TV 4 concept: Apple TV touch with completely redesigned, wirelessly rechargeable touch-based remote
While the internet was churning out regular rumors on the Apple TV 4, Curved was busy re-imagining how the same would look like. And according to them, though the set-top box as such has achieved an aesthetically pleasing look, the remote would be the major highlight of the next Apple TV.
In our report on Apple TV 6.1 update, we mentioned the new ability to scan for AirPlay devices via Bluetooth, in addition to the normal searching over WiFi. At that time, we couldn't attach much significance to it, as it only helps to find devices and not to conduct AirPlay Mirroring via Bluetooth. But as more expert eyes are falling on it, this feature is turning out to be a blessing for educational institutions.
Infuse never fails to amaze us. If you've gone through my first review of this awesome video player, you might remember that we concluded it as one of the finest in its class. Supporting almost all known formats on Earth, smooth streaming from network devices, a plain flat iOS 7 based design and an elegant solution to the subtitle problem, we thought Infuse had reached as far as a media player could. But with the latest update Infuse 2.2.2, FireCore raises that bar still higher.
In our last post, we came across some stunning implementation of the dual screen AirPlay functionality of iOS – showing different screens on your Apple TV (the gameplay) and your handheld (the controls). In case you din't catch that one, you can read it here. Thanks to a few tips from our readers and some digging from our part, we've come across more dual screen games you can play on your Apple TV. In fact, we think the games in this post are better that the last one, at some points. So lets dive in!

Half empty, half full
by Andy Lester
Related link: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/13/1516209
The article author says "Microsoft is claiming that half of all MS Windows crashes are the fault of third party code, not their own." The headline on Slashdot blares "Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes." I'm not sure which is better. It reminds me of the Aamco commercial that said "Half the cars brought in don't need a new transmission," which says to me that if I take my car in, it's 50/50 that I'll need a new tranny.

It is about intention
Microsoft want you to believe that they put a credible amount of effort in their products. When half of all crashes are caused by their software, they hardly convince that a good job has been done. When the other half is third party programs, it has to be remembered that Windows OS allows for those programs to crash the whole system.

Scotland fan arrested for naked dance in fountain
A Scotland fan has been arrested for being drunk and disorderly after allegedly dancing naked in a fountain in Trafalgar Square.
A Metropolitan police spokesman said: "At approximately 3.20pm today police arrested a 23-year-old man for being drunk and disorderly after he was spotted dancing naked in the fountain at Trafalgar Square. He was taken to Charing Cross police station where he remains in custody."
Scottish football supporters have descended on Trafalgar Square ahead of tonight's match against England at Wembley.

Modcast #97: Mike Simonetti
Hailing from New Jersey, Mike Simonetti's influence is far and wide. As headman behind Troubleman Unlimited and Italians Do It Better labels he's put out records that have often been a preview of sounds to come. As a DJ he's been responsible for some frenzied and famed nights of fun - and of course dancing. While on the production front, earlier this year he released his debut album 'Capricorn Rising'.
We've been long-time fans of Simonetti's and we're pretty chuffed he's delivered a Modcast this week.

1.7/5 rDev -57.7%
Pours dark brown amber with a small tan creamy head; smells of sweet malt and spices. Medium carbonation. Tastes very spicy, with malt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, syrup, juniper and more spices that makes this brew almost too spicy. There was too much going on taste-wise.
The Christmas tree flavor of all the spices is a bit too much for me and tasted on the skunky side, so I would not have this brew again based on this pour as it did not go down easy. It was not enjoyable for me at all (or my friend that had one as well that night), and tasted like the bark of a tree and not a nice winter warmer or porter. Perhaps the keg was bad where I had this beer, but unless I try a bottle of this I can't figure out why everyone else on BA is raving about this beer.

S: First impression was, "I think I just found my first skunky beer."
T: Malted vinegar, getting slightly better as beer warmed
M: Medium body, light carbonation.
O: There was a 90V mark on back of label. I wasn't impressed, but would try again since hearing good things about this annual brew.

Received in a trade via wordemupg
G: I&G Tulip
A: Dark opaque brown body , two fingers of dark mocha head with good retention and lacing.
S: Nothing is to strong here. I'm picking up a mixture of sweet malts and some breadiness. Faint cinnamon and molasses is all I can really smell here
T: It follows the smell - I cannot taste much. Cinnamon, molasses, possibly some dark fruits and brown sugar. Not much here.
M: Medium body and light carbonation. Very smooth going down and leaves a slight dry-sticky molasses taste with a hint of bitterness.
D: Quite disappointed with this as the review are outstanding. I don't know what to say about it, I cannot smell or taste much. Maybe it's the beer, or maybe it's me. I would plan on giving this another try though.

2.9/5 rDev -27.9%
Poured from a 12 oz bottle into my darkness tulip.
2 icnhes of light brown froth forms up, quite slow to recede. Leaving behind globby lace and a whipped egge white consistancy like cap of retention. Super light and fluffy is the head, very nice looking.
Color on the brew is all black, no glowing crimson this year.
Aroma is much more Worcestershire sauce like this year and some woodyness to it. Charred grains, unknown spices, orange zest, dark fruit and molasses.
Mouthfeel is much thicker this time around. Carbonation is moderate.
Taste is a tad thin though. There is some oddball spice in there and it is super dry. A bit of toasted oak, bitter chocolate grains, oats, cloves, burnt toast, and more Worcestershire/ soy sauce flavors similar to an aged version of around 1998.
Some mild hay like hop bitters into the finish.
Its dry and a bit one dimensional in taste. Not my favorite year.

12 oz. bottle poured into a snifter. Enjoyed while wrapping Christmas presents.
A-Dark, dark brown brew. Frothy dark tan head, with a very strong retention, makes this beer look very tasty.
S-Sweet-planty spice, juniper-piney character, toffee-toasty malt.
T-Spicy and cedar-planty, green flavor, some certainly due to hops, blasting out at first, then allowing a sweet maltiness through, consisting of toffee and a slight chocolate character. Almost a slight spicy-sour overtone. Finishes toasty-bitter with a slight residual sweetness.
M-Moderate body and somewhat drying feel. Carbonation was very smooth, of moderate level.
D-Not a very drinkable brew, as it seems just a bit too spiced. I realize that this is the beer's intention, but this manifestation the Our Special is just not there.

My first review of 2011.
The house is calm again, so I can relax and have a quiet beer, slowly. My football team won 6-1 today and 7-2 on New Years Day, so this is my celebratory drink for both games.
Poured into my Westmalle chalice, the brown 355ml bottle had a best before date of 20 Oct 2011. Imported into the UK by James Clay and Sons.
The beer was a lovely ruby red when held up to the light, darker in the dull lighting of my living room. The full cream coloured head soon left, leaving behind a small wisp and nothing else. The beer seemed to be in good condition, so I was suprised the head 'did a runner' so swiftly.
No great smells, some hints of coffee and malty molasses, expected more.
The taste was all malt, well carbonated (again, why the disappearing head), with a hop roughness more than bitterness in the aftertaste.
The 5.5% ABV sat nicely within the brew and could be found easily as the beer warmed in the glass, not so obvious when the beer was colder.
I was expecting more to be honest, not a bad beer by any standards, but not the rich, creamy special I hoped for!

Poured from bottle into bells tulip glass.
Apperance was great dark yet clear.
Beautiful full head and smell was great as well.
As for the taste i was let down on this was expecting
alot more only because of previous reviews.
The smell was a combination of spices and faint hints
of fruit and chocolate with ever so slight doughness.
The taste was nothing like the smell dull and very watery.
Almost like drinking water soaked bread.
Im gonna give this beer one more try just to be sure but i was
not impressed at all.

Magnum bottle.
Poured into a pint glass.
Pours a large layer of tan head, probably about 2 fingers. Good retention leaving some sticky lace. Color is bark brown.
Aroma and Taste: Holiday spices with some caramel and toasted malts. A bit of chocolate with some dark fruits. A distinguished cherry flavor shows as well. Pretty malty, but a bit of pine hops show as well.
Mouthfeel: A bit fizzy and creamy. Medium bodied with a bit higher amount of carbonation for the style. Ends malty.
Overall, not my favorite recipe for the series from Anchor. I finished the magnum over a few hours so it wasn't too terrible, but I could have gone for a different vintage.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass.
Pours a rich cherry-wood-like reddish brown with a large and lasting creamy, rocky tan head. Gorgeous.
Strong and intense nose, packed with spices. Woody, herbal aromas dominate, though I can't seem to specify exactly what I'm smelling. There's an earthy and rich old-fashioned candy-like note (licorice? clove?), and the beer is sweet and candy-like on the whole, though miles from any modern-day cheap refined-sugar-laden and artificially flavored sort. Certainly unique.
Seems to lose some of its charm on the palate, leaning heavily on a bitter, astringent black candy character. Long lingering spiciness, though I don't know, again, precisely what. Big on the woody herbal notes. A difficult to parse and very unique flavor profile, but one which I'm not terribly fond of. Finishes dry, which only seems to intensify the flavors. As I try to look past what I don't like in this beer, the dryness of the palate starts to hint at cocoa powder, which increases the complexity but doesn't help the beer's palatability. Fruity esters come into play as the beer warms, making it more palatable, meaning I can finally manage to finish the glass.
No doubt this is a well-made beer, but I won't be finishing my six-pack. I'll be eating Our Special beer bread until the new year, I'm sure.

Poured into a shaker pint. A one-finger head formed of cappuccino color. Slightly largish bubbles but very creamy surface. Beer is a deep mahogany with slightly reddish highlights.
Aroma is dominated by nutmeg and a slight licorice character. A thin bit of malt. For my tastes, I find this to not be a great nose at all. It just doesn't have elements that I like.
Taste is similar with a lot of nutmeg, a fairly thin body for a Christmas Ale. There is additional malt sweetness and roasted character that wasn't in the aroma, so it does taste better to me than the smell, but it still is too predominated by the spices for my taste.
Mouthfeel is pretty good though slightly thin and it drinks better than the individual aromas and tastes would indicate. Overall, not a favorite Christmas beer.

A - Poured from the tap with a finger of quickly dying head. Color is a dark brown with clear ruby when held to the light.
S - Heavily spiced and backed up with malt but little else.
T - The taste is heavily spiced but not in a particularly positive because there is no good beer flavor to back it up
M/D - The mouthfeel was thinner than I like and the sharp bite from the spice will probably have me cross this off my Christmas beer list

Lets just say I love Anchor Brewing Company's bottle style, something about those screams buy me. Okay on to the beer.
A: First off its a very dark brown color with red hue coming through, small tan head.
S: The aroma on this baby has some spicy/herbal smell with a bit of clove and allspice coming through also.
T: Not what i was expecting it was not as spicy as the nose was making it seem. Also seemed a little unbalanced with that roasted chocolate taste in the back end, that seemed to coat that back of the throat. It just didn't mix well for me.
M: Felt good going down had a nice thick feel to it.
D: This was an okay winter warmer, it came off like a spicy light porter that my mouth wasn't digging.

Served in a pint glass. Pours a dark nearly black with reddish highlights. The head thins to a ring, and leaves little lacing.
Aroma is sweet and spicy with a bit of alcohol. There's a faint bit of licorice, some maple syrup and raisin. The taste has much less going on, a bit disappointing. There's a lot of malt flavor and some hop bitterness. Some spiciness comes through as it warms.
Carbonation is high, and mouthfeel is dry. It's fairly drinkable, but not as good as I was hoping for.

Dark, but clear with ruby/purple highlights. Fine beige foam, really sticky with sheets of bubbles coating the glass. Good head retention too. Spicy aroma, cinnamon and nutmeg, with dark malts and dried fruits in the background, notes of cocoa and nuts. If the spice was toned down a bit, it would be easier to pick these characteristics out, but as it is the spices are not to the point of being cloying. Malty flavour up front, caramel and a bit of molasses. Chocolate and spices follow, with a dry chalkiness in the finish. Light fruitiness throughout, low to moderate bitterness. Decent texture with light carbonation, medium body. I didn't mind it, but I wasn't sold on the balance of spices and the chalky flavour.

From notes. Opened 12.22.2010; this has been in the refrigerator for a year, so it isn't really "aged" by standard measures.
Pours a dirty reddened brown. An island of bubbles sits on the side of the glass.
Sweet and bready brown maltiness, brown sugar, raisins, chocolate, cinnamon, and pine. Taste adds cardamom/clove and orange peel. There's also an almost ferric note on the finish, which doesn't really go away.
The body is just a little thin but the just under medium carbonation makes it feel fuller than it is.
Not much of a fan of how this has aged. This was better (to me) fresher, and other vintages of OSA have been better for my palate.

Purchased from Blue Max Liquors in Burnsville, MN. Pours a black bodied with a light tan head. Aromas of pine sap, licorice and ginger. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and medium carbed. Flavor is caramelized burnt sugar up front that leads to molases and licorice through the finish. Seems like they are trying to make a beer that tastes like a spice cookie or snickerdoodle. Not the best drinkability on this one.

It poured a dark cloudy beer with a light head to it.
The smell was of pine, spice, cinnamon, malts, and a hint of hops.
The taste was weird to me. The taste did not reflect the smell at all. Some spice notes, some pine notes, a little chocolate and coffee and not much else, and it left with a dry but spicy finish.
The mouthfeel was average, moderate level of carbonation.
This beer is decent, it beats a lager any day but it doesn't stand out of the crowd either.

Anchor Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2009 is a real dark cherry maroon color. The head is a light chocolate tint. BIG spicy nose! WOW...a lot of popery notes. All the spices, pine, and floral notes rush through my nose and stick to the back of my tongue before I even take the first sip. The taste is really tight and a little tart. It leaves a little bit of a soap like feeling on the back of my throat. I'm glad to see this beer is still developing but it needs to go back in the cellar for another year or more. I'm going to rate this low but look for it get better and better with the years to come.

This beer pours a dark ruby red color with a dark tan head. The head fades very slowly, leaving a massive lacing.
This beer has a spicy aroma. I smell some ginger, nutmeg and vanilla. It has a mild spicy hop aroma as well.
This beer tastes much like it smells. Spices. Ginger and nutmeg mostly.
This beer is full bodied. It leaves a ginger like and sweet malty aftertaste. Carbonation is high.
This beer would make a decent session beer. It isnt overly aggressive, and the alcohol content isnt too high.
Overall: Thanks to Josh for this beer. It is a soild beer. Nothing to exciting, but I have never been too excited by anything from Anchor.

Pint on tap at Cole's in Buffalo. Arrives a dark brown with ruby highlights, light lacing down the glass.
Nose is light, hints of spicing, caramel malt and dark fruits coming out.
In ordering this I was looking for a nice spiced Christmas ale and was a little disappointed, especially given the love it gets on here. Cocoa powder, slightly herbal, light cloves and nutmeg, caramel malt, faint gingerbread, fruitiness, faint odd metallic note, dry finish. Also a bit of carbonation bite. All seemed a little disjointed and not very Christmas-y in the least. Not a terrible beer, just not something I would choose to order again.

Dust Jacket Description:
"Heather Wells Rocks!
Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two — and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft.
The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen — not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives — even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective!
But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong . . ."
Characters: Heather is more than a little adorable. Cabot is such a popular chick lit writer because of her remarkable ability to grasp her protagonist's voice immediately, even if all her main characters' voices are similar. Heather is no exception. As always, the side characters steal the show and I can't help but love being pulled along for the ride. There's nothing exceptional here. Regardless, it's probably my favourite Cabot book. 4 flowers.
Writing: Cabot always serves me a good, fluffy time. The dialogue is stronger than usual and the internal monologues are slightly less irritating in the cute factor. Strongest writing from Cabot I've seen. 4 flowers.
Plot: It took me a chapter to figure out who the murderer was. Cabot doesn't get any points for plot twists, but it's still fun the natural progression of Heather's arch and seeing her solve the crime. 3 flowers.
End: Predictable and fun. 4 flowers.
Dust Jacket Description: In depth and perfect. 5 flowers.
Cover: I want something cooler. This is fairly generic. 2 and a half flowers.
Overall: This is most I've enjoyed a Cabot book, to be sure. If you're in desperate need of something fluffy with a strong voice, go for this one. 4 flowers.

A few nights past I had a chocolate cup graving so desperately, if I didn't know better I would have thought I was pregnant. Since that is physically impossible I begged Sydney to help me create a coupe dozen. It wasn't that hard to convince her since she loves them also.
The chocolate rum cups are fairly easy to make, the most tedious step is brushing the melted bittersweet chocolate on the mini cupcake silicone liners. We began with the chocolate; you will need at least 3 separate layers of the chocolate. The method involves melting the chocolate, tempering the chocolate (you don't want the chocolate to have a grey hue), painting the melted chocolate on the inside of the mini cupcake liners, freezing the cups for 30 minutes, and repeating the process 2 more times. I will explain in more detail towards the end.
While the first coat was having a chilly rest we began the caramel. Caramel basically is sugar, water, heavy cream and flavoring of your choice. For starting the caramel you will need a candy thermometer, medium heavy bottom pan, small heavy bottom pan, and a whisk.
Pretty much this how easy the method of homemade is.
The caramel is extremely hot, for safety reasons prior to adding the rum I pour the caramel into a medium measuring jug. In fact while I was whisking the caramel, in the measuring jug, I asked Sydney to please start adding the rum, a tablespoon at a time. I had been whisking the caramel for a good three minutes, butter pat had already been added, when Sydney poured the first tablespoon of rum into the caramel; the the caramel began to bubble the aroma"steam" was so potent I ended up with a rum facial! My nasal passages were so clear I could smell the glass cleaner from the next room. I did not want Sydney to miss out on a rum spa facial, I had her switched places with me. I poured the second tablespoon of rum into the caramel as she whisked, when I looked towards her, her beautiful chestnut colored eyes were watering. I know this sounds snarky, but I was laughing so hard I began to cry. Needless to say the final tablespoon she added I yet again received a spa rum facial. Now by this time the rum had gone to our heads, so for the next twenty minutes we were a little "punchy," besides it was getting late in the evening.
As the Rum caramel was cooling down to 37 degrees C/98.6 F, we remelted the dark chocolate, tempered it, took the mini cupcakes (for connivence the mini cupcake liners had be laid into two mini cupcake pans) once the chocolate had tempered, about 33 degrees C/89 degrees F, we began painting the second layer. This was repeated once more and let to rest in the freezer between both applications for about 30 minutes.
When the cups had a nice thick coat of chocolate we poured the caramel into the cups, sprinkled with fleur de sel, melted and tempered the last bit of chocolate. With a measuring teaspoon we poured the prepared chocolate on top of the caramel, carefully with the back of the teaspoon smoothed the melted chocolate to the edge of the liners, placed them back into the freezer for one hour to over night. The liner is easier to remove if you have the patience to allow them to sleep over night in the freezer. I let 22 sleep over night, but as I said in the beginning I was craving the chocolate rum cups, so Sydney and I waited maybe two hours before we ate one each, at 2:oo am. I was really craving these cups and you will too!
Chocolate Caramel Cups
Silicone mine cupcake cups
400 grams/ 2-cups granulated sugar
80 grams¼ -cup corn syrup
59 grams ¼ -cup water, for hard caramel,
118 grams/½-cup water for soft caramels
226 grams/1-cup for oozing caramel
165 grams/3/4-cup heavy cream
55 grams/1/4-cup crème fraiche
Fleur de sel salt
29 grams/2-Tablespoons unsalted butter cold
40 grams/3-Tablespoons dark rum
250 grams/1-cup bitter sweet chocolate, chopped fine
For the caramel:
Pour water into a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan; in the center of pot add corn syrup and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, covered. Uncover the pot, insert a candy thermometer, and continue to boil until syrup is thick and golden in color, registering 300 degrees on candy thermometer, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; continue to cook until sugar is a deep amber color, begins to smoke, and registers 350 degrees on candy thermometer, about 5 minutes longer. Meanwhile, when temperature of syrup reaches 300 degrees, bring the cream, crème fraiche, and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat. (If cream reaches a simmer before the syrup reaches 350 degrees, remove cream from heat and set aside).
Remove the sugar syrup from heat. Slowly pour about one quarter of hot cream into the sugar syrup; let the bubbling subside. Add remaining cream; let bubbling subside. Whisk gently until smooth; whisk in butter, vanilla and dark rum and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture reaches 248 degrees F. Let the mixture cool for 30 seconds.
Pour the caramel into a heatproof measuring jug, be careful, then pour the caramel either into prepared chocolate cups or on silpat till chocolate is ready.
Chocolate Cups:
Put the chocolate in a medium glass bowl or a Bain Marie. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted, about 4 minutes. Temper the chocolate. Spoon 1- teaspoon of the chocolate into the mini silicone or paper cups swirl the chocolate around and with a pastry brush brush the chocolate evenly around the cupcake liner, place in a mini muffin/cupcake tin, put the tins in the freezer for 30 minutes, repeat this process two more times.
After the third coat has been frozen for 30 minutes pour the caramel into the frozen chocolate cups and spoon 1/2-teaspoon of melted chocolate over the top of the cups and smooth out with the back of the spoon.
Place in the freezer for at least 1 hour to over night. When the cups are ready and still frozen peal away the silicone or paper liners. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. The cups are best if eaten at room temperature

Enterpise resource planning deplozment guide
AbstractThe deployment of an Enterprise Resource Planning system (briefly ERP) is a global project, of strategic importance for the companies. It is equally a project for the reorganization of the business processes. A guide for the deployment involves all that is necessary for the counseling for the start up of an ERP system: conceptual matters, basic rules, managers' expectations, success factors, associated risks and good practices.

Snooker: Leaders Greenfield are given a real fright by battling West View
1:36pm Tuesday 1st April 2014 in Sport
DIVISION One leaders Greenfield were lucky to escape with a draw in their encounter with relegation battlers West View in the Blackburn and Darwen Snooker League.
The home team got off to a flier with a great 75 break from Chris Lawson in the opener but it wasn't long before they found themselves 3-2 down thanks to a brilliant performance from Jim Amos to beat Craig Steele followed by good wins for Paul Upton and Michael Jackson.
Gaz Hampson had other ideas and dug deep to take the last pairs with Alan Heaton and then put his side 4-3 up with a comfortable win over Dan Marsden.
The final frame was a close one and it looked as though Dave Houghton, making his return after a long absence through injury, would snatch the win over John Avery to seal victory.
Unfortunately he went in off the brown and Avery made no mistake.
Park A beat Mill Hill 6-2, the highlight another superb break of 81 from Mark Jennings.
The result puts Park within nine points of Greenfield at the top but leaves Mill Hill rooted at the bottom.
Hoddlesden managed to hold on to second place with a 5-3 win over Blackburn Golf A.
Fox and Hounds, fresh from a superb win in the Ten Reds at weekend took on the inconsistent Park B.
It was nip and tuck all the way, neither side gaining more than a single frame advantage and the draw was probably a fair result.
The evenings final match saw Punch race into a 5-0 lead over visitors Stanhill before the Ossy men could trouble the marker.
It was left to veterans Ian Pickles and Alan Weaver to give the score some respectability by taking the last two frames.
Division 2 is turning into a thrilling race and it was Longshaw making the headlines again – the A team storming to a 7-1 victory at the Orchard to put themselves within two points of their B team at the top.
Longshaw B were relieved to take a 5-3 win over Feniscowles. After racing into a 3-0 lead the visitors' Andy Rourke seemed on the verge of victory against Frank Jex when he inexplicably missed the easiest of reds to gift the frame to Frank.
Frame seven was another thriller, Rob Walsh leaving Dylan Ince needing two snookers on the pink. The youngster kept a cool head and forced an in off from Walsh followed by the snooker he needed to pinch the frame 61-57.
Third placed VIP A won the derby match against their B team 5-3 to keep themselves within touching distance but the result effectively ends the hopes of the B team.
The B team had taken a 2-0 lead before Jake Fuller and Ibby Khan pinched the first doubles. Frame of the night was Murad Iqbal taking on his father, Mr P himself.
The youngster showed no mercy knocking in a nice 41 to seal victory. Jake Fuller took the next for the A team, a run of 40 being enough to put his side 4-3 up. Unfortunately the B team couldn't field a final player so it was frame conceded.
Up at the Borough visitors Rishton Golf Club took the opener through skipper Eric Whittle and then took three of the next four to put themselves within a frame of victory. Victory came when Liam Masterman finally found his form to take care of Borough captain Jamie Costello. Following on from her win over former singles champ Ami Dippolito last week Gail Costello faced off against the highly regarded Tony Howarth – and won again!
After their early season struggles Blackburn Golf B continued their good form with a 5-3 win over Hole I'th Wall.
The home team quickly raced to a 5-1 lead before Hole took the last two frames courtesy of Simon Thornley and Matt Taylor.

A Formal Model for Component-Based Embedded Software Development
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper presents a formal model for specification, verification, and composition of component based embedded software. The authors describe how components are specified from the syntactical view, functional view, QoS view and synchronization view. The refinement rules for functionality, QoS, and synchronous behavior are defined for the verification purpose. And a lightweight composition method is provided for the purpose of composition. Embedded software is becoming more and more complex, costly and error-prone. All these trends pose an urgent need for advanced embedded software development techniques.

Joint Training:
Observations on the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Exercise Program
NSIAD-98-189: Published: Jul 10, 1998. Publicly Released: Jul 10, 1998.
(202) 512-5140
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), Exercise Program, focusing on the: (1) number and type of CJCS exercises conducted and planned from 1995 to 2002; (2) basis for the Department of Defense's (DOD) estimates of exercise costs for the same time period; and (3) availability of DOD data to estimate the impact of CJCS exercises on deployment rates.
GAO noted that: (1) DOD cannot determine the impact of the CJCS Exercise Program on overall deployment rates because DOD does not have a system that accurately and consistently measures overall deployment rates across the services; (2) without such a system, DOD cannot objectively assess the extent to which the program contributes to deployment rate concerns; (3) from fiscal year (FY) 1995 to 2002, 1,405 exercises were or are planned to be conducted as part of the program at the 5 regional commands; (4) the objectives of these exercises are to: (a) ensure that U.S. forces are trained to conduct their highest-priority mission contained in regional command contingency plans; (b) provide joint training for commanders, staff, and forces; and (c) project a military presence worldwide and support commitments to U.S. allies; (5) some exercises focus on just one of these objectives, whereas others focus on more; (6) about 37 percent of the exercises during FY 1995 through 2002 are directly related to executing contingency plans, 60 percent are intended to provide joint training benefits, and about 44 percent are primarily directed toward engagement activities with foreign nations' military forces and U.S. allies; (7) the Joint Staff maintains data on transportation-related expenses but does not monitor and track the complete costs of the program; (8) before the FY 1998 National Defense Authorization Act, DOD was not required to determine total program costs; (9) in DOD's February 1998 mandated report to Congress, the Joint Staff used a combination of actual and estimated costs to estimate that the total program would cost between $400 million and $500 million annually from FY 1995 to 2000; (10) DOD does not maintain the data that would enable it to determine the extent to which military personnel deployments associated with the program contribute to overall DOD-wide personnel or unit deployment rates; (11) the services use various methods to track individual or unit deployments and collect some data on the numbers of personnel or units that participate in CJCS exercises and the length of personnel deployments associated with the exercises; and (12) the services' ability to measure overall personnel or unit deployment rates is still evolving; as a result, the impact of the CJCS Exercise Program on deployment rates remains unknown.

My son is such a happy baby MOST of the time, he usually only cries when he is hungry (I dont get the boob out fast enough) or over tired. His newest thing is screaming in between bites. I am not doing anything in between bites to delay feeding, he is just damn impatient! Wonder where he gets that from ::points finger at self::

Congressman Adrian Smith is seeking answers on how to keep Washington D.C. from standing between a patient and a provider. During a Committee on Ways and Means hearing, Smith asked Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius several questions.
He says he is concerned that several policies enacted out of D.C. are hurting the very people they were intended to help.
Physician supervision rules require a doctor's presence and supervision over nearly all routine procedures administered in hospitals. While these requirements are less of a challenge for large hospitals, they can be very problematic in areas with few doctors. "You know, requiring a physician to be on the premises, the same floor of the premises when a phlebotomist might draw blood to be reimbursed," says Smith. "That seems that would actually drive up the cost of the delivery of care, rather than finding an efficiency." "Well again, I'd be happy to take the specifics back and try to find the evidence behind why specific recommendations were made," responded Sebelius. Sebelius added that these provisions aren't supposed to be burdensome for hospital administrators.
Smith has introduced legislation that aims to help health care services in rural America that are threatened by regulations.

"The documents were not signed on March 4; the Clerk and the Mayor have backdated the documents," Brugh writes, adding that the ordinance and resolution should be considered void under Indiana Code because Franklin failed to sign them within 10 days.
"I sign hundreds of documents a week," Franklin said in an interview responding to the claims. "I don't have a photographic memory. The record reflects it was signed on March fourth so I have to assume I signed it on March fourth."
Hayworth did not respond to a request for comment.
Mark Crandley, representing Franklin in the lawsuit, and John Molitor, representing city council, responded to Brugh's claims with a filing of their own. In it they request Cass Superior Court II strike the affidavit, as the court has already dismissed the case.
Writing that Brugh's submission "offers nothing but conjecture that the documents were 'backdated'," Crandley and Molitor go on to state, "If Kitchell wanted to litigate these issues, it was her counsel's obligation to present them in her complaint or at some point before the court entered a final judgement."
It is possible the court could find merit in Brugh's argument however, in which case the case could be reopened.
Should this occur, Molitor and Crandley go on to state in their motion that Brugh be disqualified from continuing to represent Kitchell. Their motion mentions the Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct, which guides attorneys, part of which states a lawyer cannot litigate a case in which the lawyer becomes a witness. There are exceptions to this rule, which the attorneys go on to write do not apply to the suit.
"Mr. Brugh is in the wrong place, at the wrong time and is the wrong guy to bring this argument," Molitor said in an interview.

So a friend of mine was having her birthday party and I didn't want to spend to buy a new dress, so I decided to make one myself.
I made separate pieces of clothing. A sweetheart corset and 2 skirts. The blue skirt was from a previous project of mine. I converted it from a dress to a skirt because it was too short for my liking.
I like how it's just separate pieces because I can mix and match them with anything.
I also made a little rosette (that doesn't really look like one though lol) for something to decorate my head.
I didn't really pay attention to the fabrics. Cotton maybe? lol

There's plenty of incident, but not much plot. As befits a tale of absolute self-absorption and unconscious revelation, The Informers often seems to be telling on itself. "It's a fucking video, man," one mixed-up kid explains to another—or is it vice versa? "It doesn't need to make sense—it only needs to be . . . not lame." And what could be lamer than the ensuing instance of confessional direct address? "You just can't make it in this town unless you're willing to do some awful things," the most confused of the young people informs someone he barely knows, pausing for a beat before he adds, "I'm willing."

I found this on their blog:
Not only is the site useful for back-installing software, it's also useful as a sort of software museum.

The moment when you get upset just because your boyfriend wants to sleep instead of playing Dota2 or League of Legends (at 11pm) - is the moment when you should realize that you are a geek girl. ~ next time someone tells me I'm a geek, I'm not gonna deny it as I've done it in the last years.

Dear John: How did Henderson Hill gets its name?Published 10:01pm Thursday, August 2, 2012
Haven't been able to answer this question so far, but it's one I've wondered about myself while driving out Marcellus Highway to Kincheloe Elementary School.
I consulted an 1882 Cass County history at Niles District Library and there aren't even any Hendersons in the index.
Maybe one of our readers knows. I hope so.
Lots of interesting reading otherwise.
I knew Uzziel Putnam made the "primal settlement" on Nov. 22, 1825, on Pokagon Prairie, where he lived until his death in the summer of 1881.
Ezra Beardsley soon followed in Ontwa Township. A Townsend was first to build a cabin on the LaGrange Prairie. Penn Township settled next.
Jefferson Township was settled in October 1828, though Abner Tharp "removed" to Calvin Township in the spring of 1829 before returning in 1830.
In Porter, John Baldwin pioneered the prairie bearing his name in 1828. Volinia was settled in 1829, with Jonathan Gard living on — where else? — Gard's Prairie.
Mason received its first inhabitant in 1830, Elam Beardsley.
Howard Township was settled before Mason by a William Kirk, but the exact date is lost to history.
In Milton Township, no record exists of the first settler.
John Bair made Newberg's first settlement in 1831.
When Wayne settled in 1833, Jacob Zimmerman was "probably the pioneer."
James McDaniel located to Silver Creek Township in 1834.
Did you know which was Cass County's last frontier? Marcellus Township, in 1836.
The county's "pioneer preacher," the Rev. Justus Gage, who died in Dowagiac on Jan. 21, 1875, settled in Wayne Township in 1837, coming from New York.
The first newspaper
The first newspaper published was the Cass County Advocate in Cassopolis on March 11, 1845. Ezekiel Smith moved the weekly to Dowagiac in 1850 to an office on North Front, which burned.
James Gantt in 1854 established the Dowagiac Tribune. It lasted until 1859, when the Republican came along because the Tribune had "become very distasteful to the Republicans of the county." Gantt went to Mackinaw, then Baltimore.
Publisher Charles A. Smith succeeded because he had "studied the desires and peculiarities of the citizens of the county."
Edwardsburg's first newspaper was the Index, printed in Mishawaka on Dec. 3, 1874. The Marcellus Messenger debuted in 1874, too.
Even Vandalia had a paper, the Journal, first issued June 14, 1881.

Harford man writes and directs high school wrestling film
If you totaled all of the films about high school sports, the one that might be the least represented is wrestling. With a 32-minute movie titled, "The Hardest Six," which he wrote and directed, and which premieres Thursday, Harford County resident Martin Whittier will try to even the score.
