It's serious enough that Jackie calls Dr. Fitch Cooper "Coop" for the first time, which sends him into circus poodle backflips, and before she can even speak he's showing her an x-ray of a man's hand, shattered into a million pieces. "Grim, right?" She gets to the point, bringing up the Pyxis, and he starts in with the backflips again. "Even the name sounds cool! Pyxis! I love that!" No, Jackie explains slowly, like he's a slow child, which come on: It's the opposite of cool, Coop. "Vote NO on the Pyxis," she says like a mesmerist, hoping it'll sink in. "Captain, we are powerless against the crushing force of the Pyxis," he yells into his stethoscope in some insurmountable accent. "Pew pew pew!" She waits a bit, then asks if he's done, but she should be more specific:
"Jackie, we're talking about the seamless integration of man and machine! Step! Into the Future!" She explains to him that the Pyxis is not only an insult to nurses, but is also squeezing Eddie out of a job. Suddenly, Coop realizes that she's there on her own behalf, and not like as his Jiminy Cricket or whatever; that she's not urging him to give his own two cents to the board, but hers. Which has been obvious since she walked in and told him that, but whatever. His feelings aren't even really hurt. "How about next time you need a favor just ask, huh?" Ugh, if that's the price, these mental noogies... She takes off, but he decides it's worth trying again, this time humiliating her with questions about the "little crush on Eddie" he's somehow uncovered by reading between the lines of their conversation. He's a regular Nancy Drew, old Coop:
"Yeah. That's it, 'Coop,' I have a huge crush on Eddie. In fact, we fuck every day at noon. You're a moron."
12:01 and guess what's up. "How are we on time," Eddie gasps out, and with her forehead against his, sitting in his lap in his pneumatic chair, she answers. "We're good. Just don't get fancy."
Then it's later and Mrs. Zimberg is feeding him chicken soup. That was what was in the bag. She makes Jackie smell it, and it's amazing. Zimberg swears that it's kept him alive two years longer than predicted; it's all he needs. Jackie tries to underscore that Eleanor is a very good doctor, and that her evaluation can be trusted: Zimberg needs a consult and therapy. They both protest, and Mrs. Z levels: "He's had enough. Trust us."
"They don't call chicken soup Jewish Penicillin for nothing," Zimberg says. "It's all about faith." About faith, about love, about life in the Balkans. "It's a cure-all," Mrs. Z says. "Back in ancient times, a Jewish mystic blessed the first pot, and to this day there's a little magic in every pot. True or not, it's a nice story." Jackie smiles. "We'll go with true." She wants to believe.
"Attagirl!" Zimberg shouts, and Jackie laughs. "So, let's be clear. You are refusing medical treatment, and choosing to eat soup, instead." It's not really something she needs to clarify, unless Akalitus comes running, because she loves them and they deserve to enjoy some soup. His ass is dying, and all three of them know it. But life in the Balkans is like this: You're old enough, or wise enough, to look it in the face. Or you get that way PDQ. Whatever it is, you look at it -- death, sadness, horrors, cold, mistakes, pain, suffering unimaginable -- and you don't blink. You blink, people die. You weep, people die. You say anything but the truth, shining like a harsh winter sun, it doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. And for this strength, this cruel firmness, you are rewarded with something more valuable than any comfort: you have the truth. That's what Jackie gives, and all she's doing now is confirming that all three of them are strong enough to look.
They promise to leave after this last meal, the chicken soup, the penicillin. "If I can be of any help," she asks them, "Let me know." Zimberg smiles and promises to take her up on that, at least. She leaves his bed, pulling the curtain closed, and walks past Mrs. Akalitus without drawing her attention; Akalitus doesn't mind, because the last time she saw them she was all fucked up on drugs. But they're a little closer than they were.
31 year old male, in the stirrups again, brought in unconscious, still out of it. Serious lacerations on the testicles, and a lump on his head. He comes to, and freaks out about the stirrups, which are freaky. "Goddamnit, Roy..." he mumbles, calming down, and Coop gets right up in there. "Boyfriend trouble?" he starts offering the guy options, but he says no, he's not pressing charges against Roy, because Roy is his cat. Their jaws drop, but Zoey gets a closer look. "Oh, yeah. A cat did that." He was cleaning the bathtub, nude, and leaned over, and Roy dove for his scrotum -- dove, he says, for the scrotum -- and he knocked himself out. Coop grins, between his legs.
"I married my cat when I was six. Made him a little tuxedo and everything." Zoey pats the man on his leg, unbelievably adorable/flesh-crawlingly creepy as usual, and grins down at him. "Aren't cats great?" Jackie barks her name, and yells again about the stethoscope. "I know! Shut up! Go get it!" Zoey vanishes in a whirlwind of yelling.
Then it's later, and Mo-Mo allows as how it could happen. Naked cleaning, a certain amount of movement, that is to say a certain swinging action: what cat could resist. He compares the scrotum to "a little pink mouse, swinging from a vine," which is a titch too far for Jackie, but you know, and she notices the Ohio husband flipping through magazines. He's in over his head, and he doesn't even know it yet:
"Well, this one is for forty-year-olds... And this one's for teens... This one's in Spanish." His dimples are ... On fire. She picks out better magazines and he thanks her profusely, swearing the stories about New Yorkers aren't true. "Mmm," she grins: yes they are. Heading back to Mo-Mo, she's treated to the freaky sight of watching his eyes climb the entire delectable, embarrassing, heady mess that is Dr. Fitch Cooper, and screams like a little pink mouse just jumped off a vine at her face.
He jumps, guiltily; his eyes were cheating on Randy. He jumps like she jumped in the bathroom, when she was diving after the thing she loves more than her husband, or her children, and was surprised by it. He jumps like that. "You were cruising Dr. Cooper!" she dry-heaves, and he protests. "You were licking your lips like a cartoon wolf!" she shouts. "That's the second time today I felt like I was going to puke!" But really it was the third, wasn't it. "Sometimes the people who disgust you are the hottest fucks," Mo-Mo tries to explain, but she shakes her head. "Sometimes the people who disgust you just disgust you."
Mrs. Akalitus interrupts the Zimbergs in their bed, still with the soup already, and Zimberg calls her "dear." She brusquely asks who his doctor is, and Mrs. Zimberg explains: "He doesn't have a doctor. He's eating soup." You can't really blame Akalitus for being weirded out by that. Jackie appears out of thin air and tells her that they're just waiting on test results. "They can wait in the waiting room!" she shouts, and Jackie pulls her out of there firmly. "That's not a happy woman," Zimberg suggests. He has no idea:
"Gloria, can you be a nurse again for one second, and stick your head in there? Tell me what you see?" She does, stands there with hands on hips, and stares at them. After a moment of consideration, she returns to Jackie, closing the curtain behind her again. "He's dying," she says. That's life in the Balkans, right there. "All right, he can have until the end of your shift." Jackie rolls her eyes, but that's good enough.
Zoey stalks Eleanor through the hospital, never quite snagging her moment. She asks Thor to help her get the stethoscope back, and he immediately gives her a cute, singsong no. She stares at O'Hara a few yards away, smiling insanely and carrying on a vivid conversation with nobody. I saved two lives today. Doctors are just people. Hi, Mrs. O'Hara, can I... Hi, DOCTOR O'Hara, my stethoscope that you borrowed from me this morning, can I... She pounds a fist into her palm and heads over, still monologuing, still subvocal.
Dr. O'Hara, it's come to my attention that you have my stethoscope... Eleanor looks up, not at her words but her approach: "Oh, hello Angela!" she smiles brightly, and looks back at her work. "Oh um it's not An... It. Um." Zoey curtseys at this point -- low enough that her undies bite her ass, causing her to jump in the air like a YouTube video of your pet doing something hilarious -- and then she bounces away like a rubber ball in a department store, squealing as she runs.
"Jews are so funny," Eleanor says at sushi, about the soup. "Is that racist?" Jackie asks, because yes it is, but Eleanor shrugs. "I think it's a compliment." She swears he better have a DNR ready to go: "He's absolutely a knob if he doesn't. I mean, trying to bring them back to life is such a bloody mess!" Patients, basically, are appalling. She goes on at length, until Jackie points out that she's sitting there eating her "spicy money roll" and getting hypothetical. But if she had the chance to spend like one day with somebody she really loved, the story would be different. Eleanor smiles a secret smile. "That's assuming an awful lot."
Eleanor changes the subject to Jackie's husband Kevin, and her boyfriend Eddie. Matter and antimatter, chicken soup and Vicodin. Kevin, the God particle that keeps her family afloat, that chicken soup glue that keeps everybody alive another whole day. There's Kevin, okay, Kevin who couldn't locate the Balkans on a map and has no idea he lives ther

Pediatricians, based in Ahwatukee seek to meet all needs of families, from annual checkups and vaccinations, to sick care, sports physicals, and answering parents questions about growth and development.

Dr. Matsumoto is joined by three physicians: Dr. Noelle Miller, Dr. Khristina Ramirez ad Dr. Monica Nania.
Why do families choose TLC Pediatrics?

Where patient care comes first.
Policies and Updates
Dear TLC Families, we just wanted to update you on our Untied Health Care contract status. United has updated their system we are now showing effective under our new contract as of 1-1-14 as in network providers. Any claims that have previously been processed out of network in error will be adjusted and reprocessed in network. If you have any questions please call our insurance department at 480-940-8527 ext 315!… Thank you for your patience during this process
FLU SHOTS / FLU MIST HAVE ARRIVED. They are all Thimerosal free. We offer flu shots to children ages 6 months and up. The Flu Mist is available for ages 2 and up.

SCHEDULE YOUR WELL CHILD CHECKS AND SPORTS PHYSICALS ANNUALLY. We are proud to be a pro-vaccinating office and would like to thank the community for your continued support
Due to a need to protect our current vaccinating patients and staff, TLC Pediatrics will no longer accept NEW patients who choose not to be vaccinated. This decision does not impact current patients or their families. We believe an up-to-date schedule of vaccinations best protects children, their families and the public at large. We also believe in a person's right to make a decision to vaccinate or not vaccinate. However, we also do not want to place what we believe is an unnecessary exposure risk on our current patients. Thank you.

Tues 8/7/14
We went to Clovelly today, it's a little fishing village that you have to walk down the cobbled (with millions of pebbles) road to get to the sea. It dates back before the 1500's, unfortunately most of the records had been lost in a fire. There are a lot of people living there but there are a few rules, one ...

Okehampton Castle, Dartmoor
One of Art's must-do's was to see a castle. And though not nearly spectacular or tourist-y as many castles here in the UK, Okehampton was a fine example of the ruins.

The Eden Project and Mevegissey
... 2 days. It still takes 3 of us to find our way, however; Art with his map and sign-reading skills, me with my map and navigation, Kathie with her sense of direction. Many of the roads are between hedge rows, so there's not much to see. Driving through small towns can be confusing, we make many wrong turns. Wantage, we never want to see you again. We have come to appreciate the round abouts, but negotiating them can be tricky. I wonder if we'll have trouble adjusting when we get back ...
Avebury Stone Circles, Wells Cathedral, Hay Meadow
We said goodbye to the beautiful gardens and 11 puppies of Rook Wood Farmhouse and drove to Avebury, the site of Druid Stone Circles (like Stonehenge, only without thousands of tourists!). We were able to walk freely amongst the stones in pastures next to a quaint village. What do they mean? These stones are more spread apart than I remember Stonehenge to be. From there we encountered traffic - Glastonbury ...

The power is yours!For the last two decades, Americans have been captivated by John Bolton's heroic struggle to be named United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Though his heart longs for the chance to shake spines and crack skulls at the UN, the nefarious Democrat party blocks him at every turn. Critics call John Bolton unfit for the job and are fighting to keep him as far away from the position as possible for fear he will use the position to destroy all mankind. Logically, you would think the Bush Administration would just find somebody less controversial to nominate, but apparently there is a real shortage of competent Americans for them to pick from. I would think this would single a need to put lots of money into education and breed a new generation of competent Americans, but then I'm very stupid.
I'm very stupid, and probably a little biased in favor of disliking anybody in government. I think Democrats and Republicans stink equally, and would love to see some crazy socialist nutcases take over and make us all drive the same brand of car and give trophies to welfare moms and spray paint and megaphones to their untamed children. I favor this because I'm a spiteful jerk. The point I'm getting at is that I generally don't care for most elected officials because I think they just ramble on and act like idiots instead of getting actual, decent work done. And when they do do things, it's usually to let business get bigger or appoint more idiots to positions of power. We've wasted how many months on John Bolton?
Just give up on the guy and get somebody who isn't going to piss people off. The White House stands by the whole "we want John Bolton to bust some fucking heads and clean up the UN like Mayor Mike Haggar cleaned up Metro City" line of reasoning, but why? It isn't America's job to reform the UN, especially if it doesn't like the UN. Extra especially if America needs reforms itself. I know the current thinking is that we know what's best for the world, but I'd rather we had people to dog us constantly and to play Devil's Advocate even when they agree. The U.S. media doesn't really do that, so I'd at least like the rest of the world to volunteer and help us out that way. Having people question the ever-loving fuck out of you means you actually have to have solid arguments for things, and that's A-OKAY in my book. Sure that's more rhetoric, but in some instances I'd rather have us talking about blowing up countries instead of actually blowing up countries. The rest of the world owes us this favor after we saved them in WWII and for all those reruns of "Baywatch" we shipped overseas.
But since Bolton is destined to get the job anyway, we might as well get to know him a little better! So here's looking at you, John Bolton!
John Bolton was grown as part of a top secret and highly advanced eugenics program along with actor Wilford Brimley. Members of this highly cantankerous batch can be identified by their distinctive mustaches and a barcode printed on their inner thighs.
Complaining about the impotence of the UN, Bolton stated, "The Secretariat building in New York has 38 stories. If it lost ten stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference." He then flew a plane into the top ten stories, knocking it down to 28 stories to prove his point.
Bolton has been described as a "kiss-up, kick-down sort of guy" and "tender, but not huggable" by high ranking State Department officials.
Raven Software based the "Soldier of Fortune" game franchise off the life of John Bolton. In these games you play as Bolton on a world tour as a mercenary for hire.
In 2001, John Bolton condemned the Court of Camelot for concealing a WMD known as Excalibur. He later revealed that he was just getting "in the zone" for an upcoming renaissance fair.
Bolton once proclaimed, "There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is only the international community, which can only be led by the only remaining superpower, which is the United States." What he meant to say to the rest of the world was, "neener neener neener!"Girlfriend, please! On day one of the Senate Confirmation Hearing, John Bolton made everybody cry and then threw mud at a girl.
Experts warn that John Bolton's head is being consumed by hair, forecasting that by 2020, his mustache and hair might overtake his entire body. At this point a haircut would be all but inevitable.
Former Senator Jesse Helms called Bolton, "the kind of man with whom I would want to stand at the gates of Armageddon." Proof once again that Americans love leaders ready and willing to lead them into THE APOCALYPSE.
I realize some people might not care, but is it really a good idea to put people in high power that cause such derision? At some point don't you stop and think, "Oh fiddlesticks, most people seem to hate this guy! Maybe we better come up with someone else?" What happened to that kind of thinking? I suppose it probably never existed.

Updated: Friday, February 07 2014
The company's installation vessel SIA and two support ships will handle the inter-array cables at the 277MW project, 37km north of the island of Borkum.
The cabling is expected to start in mid-June and be complete by the end of August, with operations conducted out of Borkum, Nordenham and Eemshaven.
Denmark-based CT Offshore has found work at other major European wind projects such as West of Duddon Sands and Gwynt y Mor in the UK.
Foundation installation at Borkum Riffgrund 1 began last month, with commissioning of the wind farm due next year.

Sony debuts Project Morpheus VR headset for PS4 at GDC 2014
The Oculus Rift's competition is getting stiffer with the announcement that Sony is entering the VR fray with a new headset, Project Morpheus. No release date was announced, but the headset will work alongside the PlayStation Camera to give PS4 gamers the feeling "as though they are physically inside the virtual world of a game." Inertial sensors within the camera and headset will track head rotation so that the game world moves naturally with the player's motions, and the set will also support the PS Move Motion Controller, with the headset projecting an object in place of the controller. The Morpheus will also use 3D audio technology to produce sounds on the same plane as well as above and below the player.

An Empirical Analysis of Romania's Comovement with the Euro Zone
AbstractIn light of adopting the euro in the near future, it is important to asses to which extent the Romanian business cycle evolves in a similar fashion with that of the euro zone. The present study is an empirical investigation of the degree of business cycle synchronization between Romania and the euro area, based on macroeconomic series that capture the cyclical features of the two economies. The results indicate that the most recent period, characterized by major economic and financial turmoil, has lead to an increase of the degree of comovement between of the Romanian economy with that of the euro area.

The Effects of Salaries and Opportunity Costs on Duration in Teaching: Evidence from Michigan
AbstractThis paper demonstrates that salaries and opportunity costs have important influences on how long teachers stay in teaching. The empirical work is based on a new longitudinal dataset providing information on the careers of 7800 Michigan public school teachers. The generalized least squares estimation technique accommodates censored observations, time-varying covariates, and fixed effects. One implication of the result is that predictions from the current generation of teacher supply and demand models are likely to be misleading. Copyright 1989 by MIT Press.

Last year I went to the BBC Good Food Show courtesy of Barber's Cheese and got to try their lovely cheese for the first time. This year, things got a bit more serious and I was invited to The Bath and West Show to take part in a cheese toastie off (as well as having a good nose around the show). For my toastie recipe I wanted to keep it simple so I went for a sort of croque-monsieur; smoked ham, Barber's Cheese, English mustard and plenty of butter on both sides of the bread. You can't go wrong with butter.
It's always nice to get out and have a roam around these shows. The Barber's stall was right outside the British Cheese Awards room and we got to sample some great British cheeses; crumbly Lancashire, the winning rosary goat's cheese with herbs and a lovely herb and garlic cheddar. The one which caught my eye was the Cornish Yarg wrapped in wild garlic leaves as opposed to the normal nettle leaves. I'll be on the lookout for that!
This Pastichio recipe is from the recipe booklet from Barber's.
You will need (for 4-6):
For the meat sauce -
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
500g minced beef
1 tsp ground cinnamon
200ml red wine
400g canned chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
Salt and pepper
For the macaroni -
250g macaroni
55g butter
55g plain flour
600ml milk
175g Barber's 1833 Cheddar, grated
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
For the meat sauce heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and garlic and cook gently for 10 minutes or until the onion is soft but not browned. Add the mince and stir until browned.
Stir in the cinnamon then add the red wine and allow it to bubble for a minute. Add the tomatoes and mint and season. Simmer very gently for 40 minutes until thickened.
Meanwhile cook the macaroni as directed on the packet but take care not to overcook. Drain well.
Heat an oven to 180C. In a saucepan melt the butter then stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Gradually add the milk and cook for 5 more minutes. Add half the cheese and the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Add the macaroni and egg into the sauce.
Spread half the macaroni in the bottom of an oven proof dish, cover with the meat sauce then top with the remaining macaroni. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown.
I was surprised to find this was made with minced beef; I think the one I tried before was with minced pork. The pasta I had this with in Greece was like a very long macaroni tube rather than the shorter macaroni I used. I really enjoyed this. Although it feels like quite a wintry dish the cinnamon and mint really lift the beef to make it light and aromatic. It was sort of moussaka crossed with Bolognese and macaroni cheese; a new favourite I reckon.Thanks to Barber's for the invite and the cheese. All opinions expressed are my own.

10 "If I see something saggin', baggin', or draggin', I'm gone have it nipped, tucked, or sucked!"
11 "Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor."

One morning at 7:14 — a mother who knew her time to go
BIG WIN: The 4th Circuit has refused to put its marriage ruling on hold. If there is no further action from SCOTUS, same-sex couples should be able to marry in Virginia on Monday!
Devotion means coming to your daughter's wedding even when it wasn't the wedding you pictured for her.
Couples are taking a shine to the glitz and the glam of metallics for their wedding cakes.
Little problems make great stories but huge meltdowns, drunk guests and angry bowels can ruin a wedding or reception.
We're sorry but the ticket giveaway has ended. Congratulations to our winner Karen!
Thanks for stopping by though. Take some time to check out the recent articles and posts to Equally Wed while here!
Like icing on the cake, the jewelry pieces you choose to accent your ensemble are the finishing touches to your wedding day look. Diamonds may proverbially be a girl's best friend, but today's brides are reaching for baubles that evoke a sense of uniqueness.
Designer Paula Montgomery does just that, creating whimsical accessories that are not only enchanting, but have a story behind each individual piece. Scouting out vintage finds around the world, from antique shows in the Midwest to secret dealers in Europe, she then takes the re-purposed treasures and turns them into stunning statements. "I only buy quality pieces that were beautiful when worn originally. It helps to start with great stuff," Montgomery explains. "I have a degree in drawing and painting and have always been artistic and seem to have a flair for color. Repurposing jewelry, to me, is no different than making a collage and deciding which papers to use. But, in my case, it's choosing the right components to go together in a way that makes sense and is good design. Finding wonderful jewelry is never the problem with all the online auction sites, etc., but it's knowing what to do with them once you have them that is the difference."
The result is an online catalog filled with one-of-a-kind wares, alluring to brides who have a strong sense of style. "Someone who appreciates the history behind my pieces, who knows who she is and loves the idea of being the only person in the world who owns that piece of jewelry," she says.
And one lucky bride will win this pair of sterling silver earrings that feature a light blue faceted crystal bell-shaped connector, vintage sterling silver rose charm from a vintage rosary bracelet (complete with a tiny saint on the back) and a dainty drop heart of Swarovski crystal. To enter to win, visit Paula Montgomery and share with us your favorite piece in the comments below. Winner will be selected on Monday, November 26. Deadline to enter contest is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, November 23. Good luck!

Upcoming Conferences and Events
Published March 3, 1997
Felix Sabates, who withdrew Raleigh's bid for an NHL expansion team after he could not work out a lease agreement at a proposed arena, contends -- "and sources on the NHL Board of governors agree" -- that Raleigh would have made the league's cut from eleven candidates to six and had a chance of winning a franchise. Sabates: "It's a heartbreaker. ... I tell you this Raleigh thing is a real heartbreaker" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 3/1)....Shares in Ascent Entertainment Group are "slouching toward historic lows" due to "too much uncertainty," according to industry observers. N.Y.-based Smith Barney analyst Bill Meyers: "Everybody has questions, but nobody is providing the answers." Among the unknowns: "Who will manage the company?" MD-based Comsat Corp. announced plans to divest its 80% stake in Ascent in October, but no buyers have surfaced so far; "Can the company be kept together?; Can a lucrative arena deal be cut with the city of Denver?" (ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, 2/28)....The Lions hope to begin negotiating "in the next few months," with the Pontiac Stadium Authority to discuss leaving the Silverdome before their lease expires in 2004. The team hopes to be in their new stadium "for the 2001 season" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 3/1).

Located in Ethiopia's low-lying Danakil Depression, the volcano's lava is a normal orange-red colour, but it looks blue at night because of escaping sulphuric gases burning.
Photographed by Olivier Grunewald without filters or digital enhancement, the electric blue flames aren't visible until dusk - and because the gases can be deadly, he could only get close enough to photograph the lava when the wind was blowing away from him, New Scientistreports.
Grunewald does wear a gas mask while working, but the fumes from a similar blue volcano in Indonesia still left him with peeling skin and clothes that smelt of rotten egg for weeks.
But the result is worth it. As Grunewald tells New Scientist: "The phenomenon is so uncommon – we really feel like we are on another planet."

In the interest of full disclosure, I am NOT from the state of Mississippi. I did, however, marry a Mississippi girl, and Mississippi girls are worth the move. I have lived here for 10 years now, and teach at an Ole Miss satellite campus. Ole Miss stuff is in my face on a daily basis, and I have no reason to resent that. I have spent the better part of the last five years sitting in the same spot in The Grove and watching hours of college football. I am not an Ole Miss fan per se, and find the entirety of the SEC a little crazy and delusional, especially the emphasis put on the actions of 18-22 year old kids. (Actually, since recruiting has exploded, the actions of 16-22 year old kids.)
Having said all of that, I have found that my friends (all decently obsessive in their dedication to Ole Miss) have a quality very similar to those of us who frequent this board. They are very HONEST when it comes to the players, coaches, and administrators responsible for the football program. They will tell you what they think, and have no qualms about doing so.
Here's what I have learned about the entire OIe Miss fan base as it pertains to the last four years: to a man (or woman), they all LOVE Donte Moncrief. No matter what else may be argued about, no matter what else may be universally complained about, love for Donte Moncrief is a uniting principal of a generally divided fanbase.
(Side note: I have seen similar sentiments from Ohio State fans concerning Jack Mewhort, which is encouraging.)
This is a video that was created by two goofball students with no musical talent. They had an idea, and enough connections to make it work. They got a few students involved, printed a slew of t-shirts, and made a video. It became an absolute phenomenon on and around campus, and essentially a battle cry in Oxford.
If the offense is sputtering, feed Moncrief. If we need a boost in the fourth quarter, feed Moncrief. If the economy tanks, feed Moncrief. If the unemployment rate is too high, feed Moncrief. If Mississippi ranks last in whatever government statistics were just released, hey, don't worry about it. Feed Moncrief.
Basically, all the world's ills can be solved with one simple plan: Feed Moncrief.
Moncrief did not get fed enough this year in Oxford. Freshman phenom Laquan Treadwell, who looks for all the world like an NFL star of the future, took a lot of the glory away. Some said Moncrief played not to get hurt, ala Clowney. But if you watch the tape, you will notice that the defense always schemed to stop Moncrief, allowing Treadwell to be open. With so many weapons at WR for the Colts, scheming to stop one guy may no longer be possible.
Here is the tape of his sophomore game against Mississippi State. Quick history: the state of Mississippi is a war zone. Ole Miss can go literally 1-11, as long as the one is against Mississippi State (and vice versa). The smack talk goes on around the clock and throughout the calendar. It divides family, friends, colleagues, and churches. Mississippi State was much better than Ole Miss at the time of this video, and was being considered for a New Year's Day bowl. The talk from Bulldogs fans, players, and their horribly arrogant coach was condescending and downright nasty. The pressure was HUGE for OIe Miss, trying to avoid a fourth straight loss to State. Ole Miss was barely in bowl contention, and losing the recruiting battle every year. Then this happened:
Friends, this is a new era of Colts football. I know how much the departure of Peyton Manning hurt; I felt it. The emergence of Andrew Luck eased the pain. We will eventually be dealing with the loss of our friend and hero Reggie Wayne. There is, however, a solution to this problem:
Feed Moncrief.

Preferred Playing Style: 50% Roleplaying / 50% Combat Ideal Group Size: Medium Groups (Between 4 and 6 players) Online RPGs?: Yes What are you looking for?: Mostly I like to think; I see both combat and some of the RP (skill challenges?) as problem solving activities that constantly update from round-to-round. Ideally there'd be a healthy mix of story and "beatface" while having a jolly good time socializing with the others as well. Just don't expect me to LARP much. :) About Me Biography: For the most part, I'd consider myself an "advanced beginner" (which is to say, almost but not-quite intermediate). Most of my D&D experience has been via play-by-post at dndonlinegames.com (same username if you want to go search and see). I've done some 3.5 gaming in the Forgotten Realms setting over OpenRPG in the past with a few people I met back in my major MUD days.

The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Salty Dinner Theater, which ABC 4 describes as ?bringing a twist to traditional on-stage classics,? combines professional actors and proficient chefs to stage productions performed at area eateries. Audience members gobble supper as performers interact with them before and during the production. Regularly inhabiting Madeline?s Steakhouse, The Old Spaghetti Factory, Joe Morley?s Smoked Beef & Bar-B-Q, and Mimi?s Caf?, among other locales, the show-accompanying meals range from scratch-made baked lasagna with ground beef and pork to a pound of succulent smoked-beef brisket.
Wielding knives and sword-like skewers, the servers at Texas de Brazil seem prepared for impromptu duels. However, they only brandish the blades to replenish dinner plates, slicing meat from their spears at the behest of each table. The cuts of steak, lamb, and brazilian sausage are all slow roasted over an open flame in traditional churrascaria fashion—a technique that stems from the campfire meals of Brazilian gauchos, and one that fed the family behind Texas de Brazil during their life in Porto Alegre. In an effort to bring the South American style to the States, they established their first restaurant in Texas, thereby merging down-home charm with Brazilian spice.
Today, Texas de Brazil has expanded to several award-winning locations across the country. Despite the lofty ceilings and chandeliers that characterize their venues, the staff remains rooted in ranchers' habits. They conscientiously grill and season their meat, bake brazilian cheese bread in-house, and pass classic cocktails and loaner saddles over the bar for cowboys who consider chairs unnatural. To complement savory bites, guests can browse more than 50 gourmet sides at the salad bar—a compendium of soups, vegetables, and appetizers such as imported cheeses. They can also ask the resident wine specialist for recommendations on suitable pairings from the cellar.
A fragrant mélange of garlic, curried lamb, and imported spices greets diners as soon as they arrive at Cedars of Lebanon Restaurant, giving them a brief introduction to the menu's assortment of fragrant Middle Eastern spices. Inspired by the cuisines from Lebanon, Morocco, and Armenia, the chefs sear entire skewers of marinated chicken, roast tagines of curried lamb, and layer open-faced flatbreads with herbs and spices.
Moorish archways, Middle Eastern lanterns, and tapestry-lined walls blend with the aromatic cuisine to evoke the feeling of dining amid the warm breezes of the Mediterranean. On Friday and Saturday evenings, belly dancers weave throughout the dining room and the hookah lounge, dazzling patrons with undulating dance moves and an ongoing prank war with local hula dancers.
Zest Kitchen & Bar was built on a farm-to-fork philosophy, meaning the restaurant relies almost exclusively on organic, local, and sustainable ingredients. The result is a menu packed with globally inspired and seasonal dishes, such as stuffed avocado with spicy seasoned walnuts, pico, and cashew sour cream. Following the kitchen's lead, Zest's bar features cocktails handcrafted with fresh ingredients, as well as organic wines, beers, and other spirits. Such variety enables the restaurant to transform into a colorful late-night lounge complete with live music from a resident DJ on the weekend.
Murphy's Bar and Grill combines the homey menu of an Irish pub with the nighttime hours of a neighborhood bar, remaining open until 1 a.m. seven nights a week. The bartenders pass the evenings serving drafts and bottles of domestic and imported beers, although they also pour more potent tipples from the stock of single-malt scotches and triple-distilled waters. To accompany these drinks, the cooks carefully forge a menu of hearty comfort foods that includes Reubens with kosher corned beef, beer-battered fish 'n' chips, and flame-grilled burgers.
