The most important woman in my life (rest in peace, mom) never talked to me - or my two sisters or my brother - about sex. Zilch about menstruation, pubic hair, hormones, intercourse or conception. We snuck our tampons, bras, and birth control into the house like Cold War spies. It was a surreal way to go through adolescence that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Everything I learned about my developing body and sex was from three sources: a grainy black and white educational film shown to the sixth grade girls, gossip from boys on the blacktop, and edification from my new best friend who moved to my block from New York City. She brought a true gutter mouth and the knowledge to back up her swear words. She instructed me how to look up sex definitions in the dictionary, and filled in a few missing links about what slang like "rubber," "blow job," and "f*cking" actually meant.
I was recently reminded of Mom's weird no-sex-ed methodology. There's a new anthology out called Love, InshAllah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women, that purports to lift the veil on what it's really like to be a Muslim-American woman. An essay by Zahra Noorbakhsh, now a 31-year-old comedian, describes her mother's explanation for why young Zahra was forbidden from venturing into a dark movie theater with the boys she grew up with in suburban California.
"You have a hole," her mother told her in the parking lot of a local mall. "For the rest of your life, men will want to put their penis in your hole."
This stark encapsulation of a woman's sex life has scarred me and haunted my nights since reading it a few days ago. I'm 46, with three decades of enjoyable sex under my belt. I can only imagine what it was like getting the news at 14. Becoming a comedian was probably an essential survival skill for Ms. Noorbakhsh.
Her mom's approach to sex ed made me really appreciate my mom's silence on the subject, for the first time in my life.
I also am relieved that other cultures, outside my own WASP-came-over-from-England-on-the-Mayflower family, have similar mother-daughter communication issues.
All this brings me to one of my favorite parenting topics: Sex. More specifically, how easy and important it is to talk to kids about sex long before you (or they) are embarrassed by it. In my kids' school, the subject is introduced in fourth grade, which is about eight years too late. However one of my friends was horrified - at age 10, her girls knew nothing about sex or their bodies. "They're too young!" she practically shouted when she learned the school was readying the big talk.
My response: Many of the girls in fourth grade wear bras. A few have already gotten their first periods. I'm pretty sure they've looked south as they've used the toilet or taken showers over the past decade. Studies show that 750,000 American girls 15-19 become pregnant each year because only 71% use birth control Are you planning to wait until your daughter's wedding night?
I survived my lack of sex ed. I had one priceless boyfriend along the way who enjoyed all things sexual with reckless abandon and he taught me to shed my shame and ignorance. Growing up as I did, one of my parenting vows was to be open about sex with my own kids from day one. Mostly it has worked. My three kids, ages 14, 13 and 9, could each responsibly and authoritatively teach a sex ed class. They beg me to STOP talking about sex, birth control, and political issues like the recent age restrictions on access to the morning after pill.
But I know they are better off for my consistent demystification of sex and their so-called private parts. Kids need the facts, sure. But they also need at least one knowledgeable, trustworthy adult in their lives who can pass along the news that sex under most circumstances is highly enjoyable, can actually be fun, and is one of life's great gifts when appreciated responsibly.
The secret here is that talking to kids about sex is easy, as long as you start when they are babies and don't stop until they head off to college. Instead of saying goo-goo gah-gah, try stuff like "Here's your penis, boy are you going to like this thing one day," or "Yeah, that does feel good down there," instead of slapping her little hand away. You may turn bright red -- recalling your own parents' shame or awkward explanations -- but babies and toddlers don't pick up on embarrassment. By the time they are teenagers - when they actually want and need the information you've been plying for years -- you and your kids will be sick of all subjects sexual.
Which is exactly what you want.

FISHING: Angler feedback needed to enhance TPWD services
AUSTIN — Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's Inland Fisheries Division is partnering with Texas Tech University's Department of Biological Sciences and the TTU Llano River Field Station to conduct a four-month survey of anglers who fish Texas Hill Country rivers and streams.
The survey will determine recreational angling effort (time spent fishing), gather information on angler attitudes and opinions, and evaluate the economic impact of angling in the region's rivers and streams.
Anglers who have fished a Hill Country river or stream during the past 12 months are encouraged to participate in the survey.
Information from anglers who target Guadalupe bass, the state fish of Texas, is of special interest. TPWD is seeking to restore and preserve Guadalupe bass populations in the Llano, Blanco, Pedernales, San Antonio and James river watersheds.
Anglers can participate in the survey through a link on the TPWD fishing Web page www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/ or directly at www.research.net/s/HillCountryFishingSurvey. Additional river and stream fishing-related websites also will be asked to add a link to the survey in the near future.
As an incentive to participate, anglers completing the survey will be eligible to win either a spinning rod and reel combo ($200 value) or fly rod and reel combo ($300 value). A drawing for the two rod and reel prizes will be in January 2013.
The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete and results are confidential. All results will be aggregated so individual responses will be anonymous.
Counties of interest include Bandera, Bexar, Blanco, Brown, Burnet, Comal, Coleman, Edwards, Gillespie, Hays, Kimble, Kendall, Kerr, Lampasas, Llano, Mason, McCulloch, Medina, Menard, Mills, Real, San Saba, Travis and Williamson. Major rivers include the Blanco, Colorado, Guadalupe, James, Llano (North and South forks), Medina, Pedernales, San Antonio, San Marcos and San Saba.
A map showing the entire area of interest is included at the beginning of the survey. Anglers fishing smaller rivers, streams and creeks within the area of interest are also encouraged to participate.
Information gathered from the survey will be used to help guide future habitat restoration, efforts to expand fishing access and other actions by TPWD, to enhance fishing opportunities in rivers and streams in the Hill Country and throughout Texas.

Plagued by problems since 2011, when cheaper contractor struggled to do the work
While significantly increasing the cost of the work, the new deal should ensure chronic problems that arose over the last three years are avoided.
That's also about double the winning bid submitted by the DeAngelo Brothers in 2011, a U.S. company that struggled each year to complete the work on time, and without kicking up the sort of dust clouds that negated the benefits of cleaning the streets.
Ward 2 Coun. Jacques Barbeau said the current bids are closer to what the city was paying before 2011. He also likes the fact the work is going to be split between two companies, helping ensure the work can be completed on schedule.
"We're paying more for the contract, but the dollar value is probably where it should be, anyway," Barbeau said.
And Ward 1 Coun. Joe Cimino said the DeAngelo Brothers needed so much help each year to complete the sweeping, it ended up costing significantly more than forecast.
Barbeau and Cimino also called on staff to let neighbourhoods know in advance when their neighbourhoods will be swept by the street sweepers, so residents can prepare.
"We should give people a heads up to get cars off the road," he said.
Under terms of the 2011 contract, the winning bidder was required to clean 616 kilometres of city streets within 15 working days, or three weeks. However, a 2011 staff report said that numerous complaints had been received about dust storms created during cleaning, the "poor quality" of the sweeping and the length of time it took to complete the contract.
Staff also said they believe that the contractor "arrived in the city with insufficient equipment to complete the contract within the designated timeline."
The city's annual budget for spring cleanup is around $850,000, which includes street-sweeping operations. Street cleaning normally begins in April, weather permitting, with the goal of being finished by the long weekend in May.

It's been four years since Juno and seven since Garden State, which means we're due for another carefully soundtracked independent film celebrating young white folks' ability to find love despite crippling quirkiness. Right on schedule, here comes Norman, a 2010 festival-circuit selection rolling into theaters across the country with all the proper credentials: the square-peg protagonist (here, the titular Norman), the sweetly bumbling dalliance with an equally off-kilter would-be soulmate (Emily, "a girl who likes Monty Python"), the heavy-hanging bleakness of some unfortunately timed personal tragedy (the death and illness of Norman's parents).
Then, of course, there's the music, a soundtrack released a few weeks before the movie's super-limited national opening. But while the names on the tracklist read with the same indie-ish panache as those of Garden State and Juno, the two best-selling sophomore-year mix tapes in history, Norman takes a more focused approach. The film's score was composed and performed by Andrew Bird, a move that should shock no one faintly familiar with the classically trained multi-instrumentalist: Over the course of five solo albums, his swooping melodies and carefully built arrangements have all but pleaded to be overlaid on celluloid. Ten of his Norman tracks are original instrumental pieces that, even when taken out of their intended context (as we experienced them, unable to catch one of the movie's limited screenings before press time), fit nicely among his existing catalog.
"3:36" is perhaps the most readily-identifiable as a Bird song, its nervous, gnawing waves pocked with violin pizzicato and eerie whistling, his dual touchstones that he's almost always better off ditching. Here, though, they're used sparingly, maximizing their effect. When the dreadful pulse that opens first track "Scotch and Milk" repeats three tracks later on "Hospital", the ominous thrum glowers, grows heavy, then finally gives way to mournful violin pulls and plucks. That textural push-and-pull defines the score, Bird's strings caustic against the smooth, near-perpetual hum of the organ (or maybe it's a hurdy-gurdy, or deeply distorted violin loop-- whatever it is, its pitiless drone is so reminiscent of Wendy Carlos' analog-synth soundtrack to The Shining that Bird seems bound to one day score a horror flick). Here, if not for the gentle, almost mischievous lope of "The Kiss/Time and Space/Waterfall", the title of which tells its own little story, the tension would be nearly unbearable.
Bird has promised a new record out early next year, and if this collection can be considered any kind of preview, the arrangements will be darker, bolder, weirder-- but his songwriting, perhaps, more direct. On recent albums, especially 2009's Noble Beast, he has seemed nearly incapable of anything but lyrical abstruseness, throwing out mentions of aubergines and Cypriots like decoys, as if his cleverness would distract from his avoidance of grappling with anything more frighteningly real.
Instrumentally, while "Arcs and Coulombs", the first of Bird's three proper songs on Norman, holds tight to brushed drums and glockenspiel (his third- and fourth-most-often-deployed tricks), but its talk of candy-apple lips and "your serum in my veins" are new, their borderline corniness forgivable for their offering of proof that Bird is capable of feeling, or at least transmitting, such a pedestrian sentiment as romantic infatuation. It seems to be the most straightforward love song he's ever turned out, at least until "Night Sky" comes along a bit later: "What if we hadn't been born at the same time?/ What if you were 75 and I were nine?" he wonders, supported only by a feverishly stroked acoustic guitar carried over from the preceding track. Nary a whistle, a pluck, nor an obscure scientific metaphor-- just straight-up wonder at two people somehow managing to find each other amidst the whole mess of space and time. It's a new Andrew Bird, followed shortly by the old one: "Darkmatter", from 2007's Armchair Apocrypha, is the only Bird song not original to the soundtrack, but here it blazes in with a cinematic bravado that all but destroys its former self.
Contributions from three other artists are nestled among Bird's tracks. The Blow's Khaela Maricich lends the compilation its only female voice with "S.O.S.", a dreamy, heavy-lidded cry for help: "If you get a minute, would you come and look for me?" "You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son", the crunching, stilted opener of Wolf Parade's 2005 LP Apologies to the Queen Mary, is reworked here into a darkly pulsing near-dirge, its electric guitars pushed down, Spencer Krug's yawp subdued and accented with slinky percussion and accordion wheezes. And Chad VanGaalen's "Rabid Bits of Time" is carried over directly from his Soft Airplane, its mournful cello slub and lonely guitar fitting it in neatly among Bird's instrumentals, VanGaalen's ragged, exhausted bleating no doubt laid over some key moment onscreen, pushing the movie and soundtrack into its cathartic final third.
A soundtrack taken apart from its movie is a funny thing, especially one working in such familiar territory as Norman. It's not hard to imagine the scenes these songs must play over on screen: here's when he walks through the halls and the other kids stare, here's when he wonders how her hair smells, here's where he wonders about the vagaries of human existence and what's the point of it all, here's where they kiss, here's where they cry. Maybe it's that easy; maybe it's not. At the very least, it's beautiful.

If your not interested in raiding, or you would but havn't got any experiance outside LFR, if you prefer PVP or simply farming Un'goro for rare dinosaurs (my favourite is the Ankylosaurus, that things so !@#$ing tank) but you like doing all those things from about midnight server onwards, then we may quite possibly be the guild for you! Or not. Its cool.
Either way, hopes you has much funsness with your playing of WoW's.

So our "progression" group managed a full H clear with 0 wipes last night in a little over 1 and a half hours. I even remembered to record a couple of bosses! Also, in advance, yes, yes I am terrible. And yes, its amazing what the 30% nerf does. Also, we 2 healed it. Usually its 3 healed. Our healers should have my babies, then they would be cute AND clever.

Heroic Ultraxion from the same week as H Zon'Ozz below. Sooo 30% nerfs and thiiings. Also I had to block the chat out for the first minute because of my dirty conversations.
As you should be! Its quite difficult to raid while turned on!

As promised, here is our Heroic Madness kill for this week. Group composition is quite a bit different than usual and I really appreciate everyone who stuck it out and put in an awesome effort to get it down. I had never healed it before and was healing it this week, Wolf came on his Bear tank instead of his Spriest & we had 2 new people, Sarchi (Who performed awesomely as usual) and a PuG, named Trgtpractive (Who also did really really well!). The downside was, between losing both Wolfs & my multi ditting, the kill did take almost a minute longer than usual. Would also like to say a big thankyou to Best who came even while on holiday, raiding on his laptop in the Hotel room.
90 Goblin Rogue
Having both my daggers break probably didn't help.
Having me wipe the raid at least twice (probably 3 times) before then, definitely didn't help, either of the situations lol Standing in the right place is hard >.<

Wanted man drives through yards, hits parked car while fleeing police
Watch KVAL News for more on this story
EUGENE, Ore. -- Police used a stun gun to stop a wanted man Saturday afternoon after officers say he tried to run away from a traffic stop.
Officers reported spotted 33-year-old Brent Welding, who had an outstanding warrant for possession of meth, at around 2 p.m. Saturday while he was driving near Royal Ave. and Candlelight Dr. in north Eugene.
Officers tried to pull Welding over for a traffic stop, however officials said the man drove through a shopping center near Royal and N. Danebo Ave. to try and lose the pursuing officers.
"Saturday afternoon we went over to Bi-Mart and there were at least four police cars in different places of the parking lot," said Stephanie Hecker, who lives nearby the shopping center on Royal Street, "A white truck ran over the curbs. He floored it and ran through the stop signs."
Eugene Police said Welding then went into a residential area and drove through the yards of several homes before crashing into a parked car.
Officers chased Welding when he tried to run away on foot. They eventually used a stun gun to stop Welding, police said.
During a search of Welding's car, police reported finding methamphetamine and a set of tools often used to steal cars.
Welding was booked at the Lane County Jail on the possession of meth warrant and multiple other charges including an additional charge of possession of meth, possession of burglary tools, attempt to elude, hit and run, and reckless driving.

Kansas City Chiefs Charity Game
The Hunt Family Foundation, formerly the Chiefs Children's Fund, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established by the Hunt family in 1983 to support charitable agencies in the greater Kansas City community. Through philanthropy and community programs, the Foundation provides vital assistance to over 125 area charities each year. The Chiefs Charity Game, which will celebrate over 30 years of existence this year, is one of the largest of its kind in the National Football League.
In 2014, the Kansas City Chiefs will select one organization to have the opportunity to be the beneficiary of the Chiefs Charity Game for 2015. The chosen organization will receive 90% of the proceeds from the Chiefs Charity Game, with the remaining 10% of the proceeds dedicated to the sustainability of the Chiefs Charity Game and its future beneficiaries through the Hunt Family Foundation. Annually, the game raises approximately $350,000 - $500,000. The selected recipient will be announced in 2014.
To view the Kansas City Chiefs press release, please click here.
The Chiefs Charity Game represents an opportunity for the selected organization to establish a signature partnership with the Kansas City Chiefs. The selected beneficiary will solicit Chiefs Charity Game donors and sponsors from the selected organization's existing individual and corporate donors as well as new donors. As the Chiefs Charity Game (and smaller game related events) will be the major fundraiser for the beneficiary, organizations should keep in mind that it may be difficult to appeal to your donor base for both the Chiefs Charity Game and other large fundraisers. Please note the date of the 2015 Chiefs Charity Game will not be announced until the team's schedule is released in April or May 2015. The Chiefs Charity Game traditionally takes place in August each year.
The selected beneficiary will receive a minimum of 3,000 pre-season and regular season game tickets valued at $75,000. The charity will, in turn, be able to package those tickets with other Kansas City Chiefs assets to create multiple sponsorship opportunities for potential donors. Assets may include, but are not limited to, trips to Kansas City Chiefs road games, donated suites at Arrowhead Stadium, on-field pre-game opportunities and Training Camp VIP tent access.
The beneficiary will be required to devote at least one (1) full-time staff member to the game for the year prior to the game, and, at times, will need additional staff support to plan and carry out fundraising. The beneficiary will need full support from its board, one (1) or two (2) visionary event chairpersons and a volunteer base to assist with fundraising and other needs.
The beneficiary will have the opportunity to use the Chiefs Charity Game logo within its promotional materials and will work with the Kansas City Chiefs to understand the expectations for fundraising activities, pre-game activities and game day. A more detailed Memorandum of Understanding that establishes the responsibilities of the beneficiary and the Kansas City Chiefs will be executed prior to the announcement of the selected organization.
The Kansas City Chiefs will select an organization to be the beneficiary for the 2015 Chiefs Charity Game. The selected organization will continue to be the beneficiary for up to two additional years so long as the conditions of the partnership are met each year.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation will hold grant information sessions on Monday April 14, 2014 at 9a.m. and 11a.m. The grant information sessions will provide organizations with an opportunity to learn more about the Chiefs Charity Game, as well as answer questions about the application and selection process.

Best feet - and paws - put forward for Wags and Wellies dog walk
12:02pm Friday 14th March 2014 in News
MAN'S best friend has helped raise thousands of pounds for St Michael's Hospice.
Hereford's largest sponsored dog walk saw fund-raisers walk 5km from Wyevale Garden Centre through the Herefordshire countryside as part of the Wags and Wellies event, held earlier this month.
With money still to come in, £2,000 has so far been raised for the hospice.
Kerri Williams, from Kinnersley, said it was 'a brilliant day out'.
"What makes the day even more special is that I have a family member receiving treatment at St Michael's at the moment and this is a perfect way to give something back and say thank you for the wonderful care," she said.
Post-walk entertainment was provided by the Paws for Thought Dog Display Team and there was also a chance for owners to display their own dog's talents in various competitions.
Matt Ashcroft, events manager at the hospice, said: "We would like to thank Wyevale Garden Centre, all the stall holders and especially the volunteers who helped make this event such a great success. It's really been a wonderful family day out."
Two more events will take place in Leominster on March 22 and Ledbury on April 5.

composition for full-length portraits – step back instead of zooming wide
A comment in the article on a simple lighting setup for the family formal photos, asked why I recommended that a photographer should step back rather than zoom wide when photographing a group. The reason is that the perspective distortion that a wide-angle lens will give to your subject, is not all that flattering.

Ohio Priest Found Dead in Rectory Fire
CLEVELAND (AP)--A priest was found shot to death in his church's rectory following a fire, authorities said Sunday. The Rev. William Gulas, pastor of St. Stanislaus Church, died of a single gunshot wound to the chest Saturday, the county coroner said.
His death has been ruled a homicide. Police said they are still investigating a motive. ``Father Gulas was very well liked in the community and he had a number of friends, so this is really a mystery,'' said Celeste Glasgow, spokeswoman for Mayor Jane Campbell. A preliminary investigation shows Gulas had been shot and suffered a blow to the top of his head before the fire was set, said Dr. Elizabeth Balraj, the Cuyahoga County coroner.
Fire department officials said Sunday that the cause of the fire had not been determined. Two others inside the rectory had escaped. Gulas came to St. Stanislaus in 1993 and led a campaign to renovate the 129-year-old church in the city's Slavic Village neighborhood.

In the world of outdoor hunting adventures we all know that there are many "agents" that just don't deliver anything other than a rip off nightmare scenario. My first booked hunt in Montana in 1974 turned out to be just that.
Over the decades I have learned through experience and since 2010 have had the pleasure of working with Marc Warnke as my booking agent. Marc has the highest integrity and is completely knowledgable about all the hunts he offers. I do not expect to harvest an animal every time I go hunting. It's hunting not shopping. I do expect to have no surprises with regards to a hunts description when I arrive. That means terrain, accommodations, and all aspects of the hunt to be as described. Marc has never steered me wrong. Not only does he listen to what I am interested in hunting but he has sage advice to connect me with an outfitter that will provide an experience that I am looking to achieve. He is connected with a wide variety of outfitters offering many options that fit the bill and is not a one trick pony. Additionally, Marc has always followed up with me for a post hunt debriefing to make sure that all went well and to continue quality control of what he offers. I have nothing but the highest respect for Marc and have complete confidence in him and his company.
I cannot recommend him highly enough and for the rest of my hunting days he is the only agent that I will use.

Vino Dei Fratelli Nero D'avola 2011
Vino Dei Fratelli - Sicily - Italy
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
One of the key flagship grape varietals of the beautiful island of Sicily is Nero d'Avola, a black skinned grape which is recognized as being one of Italy's most important and long lasting indigenous grapes. Often, wines made from the Nero d'Avola varietal are compared with Australian Shiraz wines, as they share the same spicy, peppery and fruit-forward notes, and are easily drinkable with a sunny, juicy character which makes them ideal for pairing with a wide range of foods. The Nero d'Avola has been grown in the Sicilian region of Avola for centuries, but has more recently been cultivated in California and elsewhere in the New World, where it thrives in arid landscapes and hot climates. As such, the ancient influence of this grape varietal is beginning to find fans all over the globe, and is likely to spread to even more countries in the near future.
The island of Sicily is one of those wine regions which seems to be designed for the production of quality wines. Not only does it have extremely fertile soils, helped by volcanic activity of such peaks as Etna, but the climate is absolutely ideal for the ripening of beautiful grape varietals, with almost year-round sunshine and cooling sea breezes. Sicily has been using such factors for growing grapevines for thousands of years, and is a truly ancient wine region steeped in tradition. Wineries on the island make a wide variety of wines, which are much loved for their ability to express plenty of exciting fruit flavors and sunny, tempting aromas, but Sicily is most well known for the dessert and fortified wines based around the port town of Marsala.
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.

Okay one of the first wood working projects I did when I first started wood working full time was a cutting board. My skills at that time were very green, no shop to work in to speak of and only had a few tools. In the last 18 months I have evolved from the back deck of my old house to a garage that I turned into my work shop. A few more tools and some acquired skills that I have learned and decided to make a new cutting board for the wife. Her old one looked like some thing a kid would make for mommy in 7th grade lol. I have developed a bad habit lately, fire wood. Every time I unload fire wood at my house I am constantly pulling pieces out and taking it to my shop and saying I can make some thing from this. So yes I rescued about 14 pieces from the lake of fire lol. So with out further delay here is the fire wood cutting board I made for my wife, I finished it with food grade mineral, about three coats and by did it turn out nice. All the pieces I did rescue are all oak, at least that's the the saw mill I went to said.

That is a stunningly beautiful piece of timber. And rescuing it from the wood heap makes it even better.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Like a red and blue blur, the Dayton Flyers was pressing and passing, shooting and scoring. The waves never seemed to stop coming, with 10, 11 and then 12 players giving them quality minutes.
An exhausted and foul-plagued Stanford simply couldn't keep up.
The underdog Flyers -- an 11 seed in this South Region -- are now in the Elite Eight for the first time since 1984 after an emphatic 82-72 victory over Stanford on Thursday night.
"We had 11 guys score in the game and from top to bottom, we kept coming and coming," Dayton coach Archie Miller said. "The way they shared the ball and moved the ball ... it was a true team effort. It's nice that on the biggest stage, we acted like ourselves."
Jordan Sibert scored 18 points and freshman Kendall Pollard added a season-high 12, as Dayton (26-10) made sure this one wasn't particularly close after slipping by in the first two rounds. The 6-foot-4 Sibert was spectacular, slashing to the basket and draining 3-pointers, to help the Flyers lead for almost the entire night.
Dayton showed its depth early, using a dozen players in the first half to wear down Stanford.
"They were relentless," Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. "That's the best way I can put it."
No. 10 Stanford (23-13) had the superior post play, but it wasn't enough. Chasson Randle led the Cardinal with 21 points, but shot 5 of 21 from the field. Dwight Powell added 17 and Stefan Nastic -- who fouled out with more than five minutes left -- had 15.
Dayton, the last remaining of the six Atlantic 10 teams in the field of 68, plays the winner of UCLA-Florida on Saturday for a trip to the Final Four.
Sibert finished 7 of 12 from the field, including 4 of 9 from 3-point range. He had plenty of help, including from Pollard, a 6-foot-6 guard who continually got to the basket and helped the Flyers stretch their lead in the first half.
"People have been doubting us and not giving us a lot of credit," Sibert said. "I know these guys. I know what coach wants. We all want to win. At the end of the day we all want to be considered winners."
Pollard was averaging two points per game, but Miller didn't hesitate to give him big minutes once he got hot.
"This guy's a big-time winner," Miller said. "He's not afraid of anything."
Devin Oliver scored 12 points and Matt Kavanaugh added 10. Dayton's bench had a 34-2 scoring advantage over Stanford.
Wisconsin 69,
Baylor 52
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Ben Brust and his Wisconsin teammates got oodles of open shots while they sliced and diced Baylor's vaunted zone defense. When the Bears had the ball, 7-foot Frank Kaminsky always seemed to be right in their way.
Brust, Kaminsky and their Badgers realize they dominated Baylor in a 69-52 victory Thursday night because of a coach who always puts them in the right spots.
Bo Ryan has never been to college basketball's final weekend, but the Badgers are thrilled to put him on the brink.
"That would be a very special thing to do, but we also know that he's not going to let us look too far ahead," said Brust, who scored 14 points. "When that time comes, we'll handle it. I'd definitely like to do that for him."
Kaminsky scored 19 points and blocked six shots while Wisconsin romped into the West Regional final, reaching the final eight for the third time in school history.
Brust hit three of the six 3-pointers from the second-seeded Badgers (29-7), who jumped to a 14-point lead in the first half and never let up on the overmatched Bears (26-12).
Kaminsky and his disciplined teammates shredded the Baylor zone that played so well in the first two games. Wisconsin also methodically shut down Baylor's talented offense while moving into its second regional final in 13 years under Ryan, who has seen just about everything except the Final Four in a 700-win coaching career.
"I'd be honored to be a part of that," Kaminsky said.
Wisconsin advanced to the regional final Saturday against top-seeded Arizona, which held off San Diego State 70-64 in the late game at Honda Center. The Badgers haven't been to the Final Four since retired coach Dick Bennett got them there in 2000.
The Badgers advanced by countering everything the Bears do well. Wisconsin wrecked Baylor's zone, negated their 3-point shooting acumen with perimeter defense, kept the tempo at the Badgers' preferred speed and even held a 39-33 rebounding edge on Baylor, one of the nation's top rebounding teams.
Ryan put on a bit of a coaching clinic, but that's nothing new. The Wisconsin folk hero has led the Badgers to an NCAA tournament berths in each of his 13 seasons, but only got this close to the Final Four in 2005.
"We get 40 more minutes, and I'm awfully proud of them," Ryan said.
Kaminsky added another remarkable performance to his junior season with the Badgers, racking up 10 points and four blocked shots while Wisconsin took a 29-16 lead into halftime. Wisconsin held Baylor to a season-low in first-half points.
Cory Jefferson scored 15 points for the sixth-seeded Bears in their third Sweet 16 trip in five years.
Isaiah Austin and Kenny Chery scored 12 points apiece for Baylor.
The Bears needed a late rally just to match their lowest-scoring performance of the season in the final seconds.
"Wisconsin really played a great game, and we did a very poor job in making things tough," said Baylor coach Scott Drew, who still led his team to a strong finish after its 2-8 start to Big 12 play. "They're extremely hard to pressure and rattle. ... Once we got behind, we had to do some things we wished we didn't have to do."
Three lower-bowl sections of the Anaheim Ducks' home arena were packed with red-clad Badgers fans, who usually turn out in droves for their school's trips to Southern California, including three straight recent trips to the Rose Bowl.
They had plenty of time to celebrate while their Badgers quickly sapped all of the drama out of these schools' first meeting.
Baylor's flexible zone defense caused numerous problems for Nebraska and Creighton in the Bears' victories last week. With a few days to prepare, Ryan clearly figured out exactly how to attack it.
