Stand-up night brings in laughs
Pete Lee performs in front of 300 Linfield students in Ice Auditorium on Aug 28.
Stand-up comedian, online video writer/editor/director and cat owner Pete Lee entertained some 300 Linfield students Aug. 28 at the first official Linfield Activities Board (LAB) event of the year.
Lee, who majored in journalism at the University of Minnesota, got his start in comedy with encouragement from a college roommate. After college, he quit his day job to pursue a career in comedy, one which would see him be a standout at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, a semi-finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" and the 7th ranked performer out of the top 100 comedians in Comedy Central's Standup Showdown 2010.
The 75-minute show attracted students from all backgrounds. Sophomore Amy Guo admitted before the show that she did not understand American humor very well and afterward said was excited to have understood Lee's jokes. Freshman Anders Kass shared similar enthusiasm.
"I was laughing most of the time pretty hard," Kass said, adding that he would most likely attend another Pete Lee show.
For his performance, Lee pulled not only from recent oddities but also from childhood experiences. Lee joked about being called a "wimp" growing up in a feminine household and having the name "Pete Lee."
Other topics included hipsters, being pantless, his allergy to trees and inaccurate tagging on Facebook. He also brought light humor to controversial topics such as obesity and homosexuality.
"Everyone in this generation is more in touch with their human feelings. [In other words], the way I was brought up is how it is today," Lee said, concluding that it was easier for him to get in tune with the college crowd through his humor.
Junior Kristen Ursino agreed by saying she enjoyed how Lee was able to make fun of himself.
"It's always okay to be mean, if it's funny," Lee said.
After the show, Lee signed fridge magnets as souvenirs for the audience. Once he returns to New York, Lee will be back on the college circuit, touring in Pennsylvania followed by Connecticut.

This year marks a half-century that the Indiana Chamber of Commerce has provided impactful programming for human resource professionals through its annual HR event. That tradition continues April 28-30 with the 50th annual HR Conference & Expo at the Indianapolis Marriott East.
The focus of the 2014 conference — presented by Frost Brown Todd LLC — is the current state of HR and where the field is headed, with an emphasis on employee recruitment and engagement, pay trends, and recent actions from the National Labor Relations Board. There will also be information related to health care reform, which has made one of the broadest impacts on the human resources field in many years.
Conference attendees can choose from five educational tracks and can tailor the curriculum to best meet their needs. The tracks are strategic business management, benefits/compensation, HR technology, leadership and engagement, and regulatory compliance.
Pre-conference workshops will be April 28 and will include case law updates on human resources and employment law; how to become a financial business consultant for your organization; practical techniques for improving performance and leadership behavior; and an employment law boot camp.
The event will feature two keynote presentations. On April 29, a team of attorneys from Frost Brown Todd will put on a performance celebrating the 50th year of the conference and demonstrate how HR has changed in 50 years. Julius E. Rhodes, SPHR, founder and principal of mpr group in Chicago, will close the conference April 30 with a session on how to create and sustain a culture of excellence.
A roundtable luncheon on April 29 will give attendees the opportunity to consult with Frost Brown Todd attorneys on any HR-related questions.
The Ogletree Deakins 2014 Human Resources Professional of the Year award will be presented during a luncheon on April 30.
Cost per person for the full conference, including pre-conference workshops (April 28-30), is $279 for Indiana Chamber members and $329 for non-members. Cost for April 29-30 is $199 for members and $249 for non-members. Group discounts are available by visiting the website at www.indianahrconf.com.

The Type 520T 'Houjian' -class large missile boats carry five C-801/YJ-1 anti-ship missiles. Conflicting reports that these boats carry either four or six missiles are evidently based on the fact that the mid-ship launcher is asymmetric, with the two missiles to port and three to starboard, with divergent estimates of the weapon load apparently deriving from contemplating either the port or the starboard launcher, and assuming that the other is identical. The operational or engineering source of this unusual asymmetric configuration is not apparent.

Judy Prince hosted the Satsop Embroidery Club at her home on Thursday, Sept. 19. Bev Scott and Arline Tobola were both sick and unable to attend. A small explanation about the Satsop Embroidery Club: When it was started many years ago, the ladies did embroidery or small sewing projects. Today, we have 12 members and each month a member hosts lunch either at her home or in a local restaurant. We talk about our families, share recipes and discuss local and world problems and just catch up on what is happening in our lives. We get a new secret pal every December and give gifts for birthdays, holidays, such as Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. A thank-you to the nice man who called me and offered us embroidery thread and hoops. As I told him, we do not embroider but thank you for thinking of us and wanting to share.
Friday evening, I went to the Elma High School football game. What a game!! Proud of you boys, hanging in there until the last five seconds and winning the game. Win or lose, I am always proud to be a Eagle.
Saturday, Jim and I hosted my class (EHS class of 1959) picnic at our home. The weather was great and there were 25 classmates and guests enjoying a delicious potluck. So much fun to catch up on the lives of classmates and hear how everyone is doing. Discussion on where to hold our 55-year reunion in 2014. We all agreed it is hard to believe we have been out of school this many years.
Sunday, my granddaughter, Danielle Lott, and I drove to Puyallup for the fair. Rain, rain and more rain, but we still had a good time. By the time we left my feet were wet and my back was aching. I really enjoyed seeing all the animals and the beautiful quilts, but the best was the two mama pigs and their baby pigs. That has always been one of my favorite things to see at the Puyallup Fair.

More woe for Braintree Community Hospital with blood tests, X-Rays and ultrasound services to be axed
Updated 8:59am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
Fresh doubts have been raised over the long-term future of Braintree Community Hospital.
The concerns come as it was revealed the hospital's integrated orthopaedic service, which offers numerous tests and treatments for patients with complex musculoskeletal conditions, will be axed.
Doubts had already been raised about its profitability after Serco, which manages the hospital, announced last month that it was seeking to cut short its contract following huge financial losses and a lack of referrals.

The Lot at the community hospital are a separate company who sell a service to Serco, who then bill the NHS
Blood tests are done by Broomfield phlebotomists at the older St Michaels unit, which has nothing to do with the community hospital

Shouts to Matheieu Rochet.
Torae – Love Is War ft. Lydia Caesar
This is by far one of my favorite records. I've had this beat for like 4 years I always wanted to use it but I never had the project, song idea etcetera so once I decided to do Heart Failure I pulled it out the stash. I played it for Lydia Caesar along with a few other but she loved this beat. She wrote the hook and bridge around my verses & then we tweaked a few words here & there together. The end result is Love Is War. It's been a favorite of men & women since it's release. I guess everyone can relate to being fed up in one way or another. Be on the look out for Lydia too, she's an amazing singer, songwriter & performer…

The fallout from Wu-Tang Clan's last album, which has found several of the group's members battling over ownership of its signature mythology, has also helped to point out which of them haven't fully left the nest. The two main objectors to the production on 8 Diagrams were Raekwon and Ghostface, both disavowing any connection to the album after its release, reporting their intention to make their own Wu-Tang project without group mastermind RZA. For Ghostface, who's hopped from one weird permutation to another in his successful career, the group's kung fu symbols are just another set of toys, but they appear to be a more serious issue for Raekwon, who spends the entirety of Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang trying to wrest control of the group's classic signifiers into his own hands.
RZA appropriately makes no appearance here, meaning Rakewon abandons the chunky funk-soul concoctions of his two Cuban Linx albums. Instead he sets out to co-opt and ape the signature Wu-Tang sound, a chop-socky blend of martial arts sound clips, gang-feud lyricism, and materialist nihilism. The opening title track pulls another audio quote from Shaolin and Wu-Tang, the movie that gave the group their name and has fueled much of their subsequent imagery. "Kung-fu doesn't belong to anyone, it evolves," a man shouts, and it's hard not to read this as a direct jab at the man most responsible for managing the group's sound.
Even without RZA, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang is still something of a family affair, though the guest spots seem limited to those sympathetic with Raekwon's complaints (Ghostface shows up three times) and inveterate peacekeepers like Method Man. ODB gets inserted from beyond the grave, appearing in a brief sample. But other voices are notably absent, creating intimations of a brewing civil war.
The success level here largely depends on the producers' ability to hit the expected marks, making this an exercise in direct imitation. The opener, with its pulsing strings and cinematic orchestral flourishes, is the most successful. But the scattershot collection of new names and old hands inevitably has mixed results. Missteps include "Every Soldier in the Hood," with Erick Sermon attempting to resurrect Liquid Swords-style chiaroscuro, with a solemn guitar strum and a chanted hook. "Rock N Roll," which makes a tired comparison between making music with selling drugs (in this case joking about selling crack "rocks" named after rock stars), only serves to play up the moldiness of its conceits, namely the talk of dealing for a guy who's at least 20 years out of the game. This is only made worse by the conspicuously flagging Jim Jones, who shouts out the Diplomats, another crew with a recent history of in-fighting, as if the group's name still had relevance.
Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang at least feels more complete than the hastily prepared Wu-Massacre, the first shot fired in this conflict. But by attempting to break free from his group's guru, Raekwon inevitably only proves how vital RZA has been to nearly everything its members have produced, and how Raekwon has been unable to break free from his influence.

Manchester United have recorded their biggest ever away win in the UEFA Champions League, and they've done it in what looked like a massive and difficult match heading into the day. They were at their best and destroyed an uncharacteristically poor Bayer Leverkusen side 5-0, securing a spot in the Round of 16 in the process.
More from our team sites
Things were fairly open early in the game, with United having a bit more of the play. They erased any hopes Bayer had of getting off to a good start in the 22nd minute, when they put together an excellent counter-attacking move and goal. Shinji Kagawa started it by winning a midfield battle, which resulted in the ball eventually getting worked wide to Wayne Rooney on the left flank. He hit a cross to the back post and Antonio Valencia made the perfect run to finish it off.
Eight minutes later, Emir Spahic gifted United an own goal with a header that would have been hailed as brilliant had it come from a United player. Rooney set it up with a great free kick delivery, which Spahic failed to deal with, heading the ball past Bernd Leno instead of out of the box.
Bayer had a handful of decent chances to pull a goal back in the second half, with their best coming on a corner that featured shots off the post from both Spahic and Stefan Reinartz, but United put the game away in the 65th minute. On a corner, Patrice Evra found some space and forced Leno into a save. While he did well to stop the initial effort, no one cleared the ball away and Jonny Evans capitalized to score on a follow-up chance.
United added two more to make it embarrassing, with Rooney finding Chris Smalling at the back post with a chip in the 77th minute, which was followed up by a brilliant 88th-minute goal from Nani, who scored with a chip over Leno from a narrow angle.
Bayer Leverkusen: Leno, Can, Spahic, Toprak, Donati, Reinartz (Hegeler 70'), Rolfes, Bender (Kohr 81'), Castro, Kießling, Son (Derdiyok 70')
Goals: None
Manchester United: De Gea, Evra (Büttner 70'), Evans, Ferdinand, Smalling, Giggs, Jones, Nani, Kagawa, Valencia (Young 80'), Rooney (Anderson 80')
Goals: Valencia (22'), Spahic (own goal 30'), Evans (65'), Smalling (77'), Nani (88')

I mean SpanischBlar is SpanischNate's girlfriend but he still cheats on her with her best friend SpanishSerena and SpanishChuck knows it, tries to hit on SpanishSerena and SpanishJenny and Spanish Dan punches him for this. No thanks, I rather rewatch the original series.

Raspberry and Cream Pancake Rolls
Pancakes are a staple in my house. The kids love them and they require very little thought. What they do require though is plates and utensils. That's where these handy pancake rolls come in. They are sweet enough to not need syrup–eliminating those dreaded sticky fingers– and they are just the right size for little hands to pick up. They are even portable on the hectic mornings when you are loading up everyone to go to school. (I know, I'm sorry I even mentioned it! My daughter goes back in six weeks and there are still clothes to buy, backpacks to pick out, and tears to shed over no more days at the pool.) Experiment away with different types of fruit and let me know which one is your favorite!
Raspberry and Cream Pancake Rolls
Katie @ onceamonthmeals.com
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 0.25 cups sugar
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
In a small saucepan on the stove, heat the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice, mashing raspberries as you mix. Simmer for 15 minutes or until mixture begins to gel a bit. Remove from heat and chill.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the flour and pour in the egg, milk, honey, and butter. Mix until just combined.
Once raspberry mixture has cooled a bit, place 1/2 of raspberry mixture, cream cheese and powdered sugar in a small blender or food processor, pulse until well blended. Set aside.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto a heated griddle, taking care to make long pancakes and cook each side until lightly browned. Remove from griddle and allow to only cool for a few moments before spreading cream cheese mixture and rolling. You may use a toothpick to secure if having trouble but seam-side down works also. Serve covered in remaining raspberry sauce if you desire.
Freezing Directions:
Follow directions as indicated above to the point of rolling the pancakes. Once rolled, flash freeze them for an hour or so then add them to a gallon freezer bag for freezing. Place remaining raspberry sauce in a pint freezer bag for use when serving, if desired. To serve: Thaw in refrigerator and serve. You may also defrost in microwave to slightly warmed.
Servings: 10 Pancake Rolls

I love your site, you have the most interesting ideal, many of which I have used and passed onto others (along with you sites name and address). You're quite the inspriation. Thank you sharon
These sound so yummy! Will have to try them. I have fresh raspberries and cream cheese in the fridge now!
what is FLASH freeze? can we use a different berry?
Well, I don't think I did anything 'wrong' but these were a disaster. The filling refused to be thick enough to be usable, even after adding lots of extra icing sugar to try to thicken it up and sticking it in the freezer for an hour. It's a dribbly and runny mess. I gave up on turning it into pancake rolls and will try to use it as a dip. The filling tastes good but won't 'work' for this concept. It seems an awful lot of filling for the amount of pancakes, too.
Surprisingly delicious, though my kids don't eat anything. =)
Okay I don't understand .25 cups of sugar?? Or 0.05 cups of raspberries help me please
The milk is missing from the instructions (and I dont think its on the printout for August at all)
Sounds like a great recipe? If I choose to thaw in fridge, how long? After it thaws, then should You put itin the microwave ro heat it?And if I choose to microwave, how long?
I'm going to try this with gluten free pancake mix!
Agree with others, I had lots of trouble with this one.
while it seemed easy enough, and it is yummy, it probably took me 2 times as long to get through this recipe.
The mixture was too thick to truly make "long" pancake, I ended up wit half of the cream cheese mixture left over because putting more than just a tiny bit would make it ooze out after rolling, and during the rolling process most of my pancakes ended up wit deep cracks.
The rest of the august traditional cook went very smoothly, but this one part was a tad frustrating.
The upside is that I can use the remaining mixture on my bagels!!
After reading these comments, I added a little oil to my batter and a little more milk (I used buttermilk) It made it easier to pour and my pancakes didn't crumble.
First of all, I just came across this website and am ssssssooooo inspired by what I've read and tried! Thank you! Thank you!
Secondly, I struggled with this recipe too :( Very thick pancake batter. I ended up throwing the first round out and just using my own homemade batter. Then I added too much syrup to my cream cheese filling…having had those struggles, we still munched away on this 'yummy disaster' (the best type of disaster, in my book!). Will give it another go another day!
I had trouble with getting the long pancakes to roll (I even used a cleaned out ketchup bottle to squeeze out rectangles.) So…after my first few, I switched it up: I made a lot of silver dollar pancakes and used the cream to make oreo-like sandwiches. Less frustrating and VERY yummy!

Flying Roulettes
I love these two pictures of the RAAF Roulettes aerobatic team taken by Andy Tyler during the 2010 Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.
I was at qualia during the display attending the Moet & Chandon Lunch and the squad did a flyby salute that had the whole dining room leaving their tables to peer outside and watch the show. They were amazing, ducking down into Catseye Bay and swooping over Passage Peak. Then they took the action to the other side of the island, doing loops over the marina and the Hamilton Island Yacht Club.
Tip: My tip for 2012, grab the kids and head on up to One Tree Hill for the perfect view of all the action.

Eve Online monument vandals found, permanently banned from the game
At last week's Fanfest event, CCP and the mayor of Reykjavik unveiled a giant monument to EVE Online. At the base of the sculpture are thousands of names—a tribute to the pilots that make EVE what it is. Unfortunately, four days after its reveal, one of those names was vandalised—a tribute to the fact that some EVE players really don't like each other. CCP have now found those responsible, and, in addition to any criminal charges that may be issued in the real world, have also taken steps to remove them from the game.

School officials help serve National School Lunch Week
Date: October 13, 2011
by: Rachel S. O'Hara | Staff Photographer
Across the country, schools are participating in National School Lunch Week, which runs from Oct. 10 to Oct. 14. The theme this year, provided by the School Nutrition Association, is "School Lunch – Let's Grow Healthy".
As part of the celebration, a variety of guest lunch servers including principals, school board members, and district administrators, helped out at various school cafeterias.
Superintendent Lori White served lunch Thursday, Oct. 13, at Gulf Gate Elementary. The menu included Nokomis Nachos, Gillespie Park Potatoes and Land O' Lakes cheese with veggies along with fruit. Though she was only there for 90 minutes, she said it was going to be the best part of her day. 'I get to see the kids during a part of the day they look forward to," White said.

I began my Christmas dinner party menu list by first going through recipe books that had healthy and original food ideas. I wanted to include foods that did not keep me in the kitchen, away from my guests, and to involve them in the finishing touches. I planned to prepare much of the meal days in advance to reduce the rush and stress.
If you also want to host a healthy dinner party here are some tips to please your guests and keep them coming back for more.
* Keep appetizers to about six per guest to leave room for an enjoyable main course without feeling "stuffed like a turkey."
* Don't let appetizer time linger too long. You want your guests to be a bit hungry for the entree.
* If you are a guest and want a healthy choice, offer to bring one. Appetizer ideas include a vegetable platter with lower fat dips such as hummus and garlic-infused Greek yogurt, bite-size cheeses, whole grain crackers, smoked salmon, shrimp and salsa with baked nachos.
* Serve appetizers on small plates. Studies show that the more variety of foods served, the more we eat, even if we don't like them. Larger plates give us the illusion of less food, and people tend to fill their plate. For those who like breaded and pastry appetizers, compromise by leaving half of the breading and pastry on your plate — and off your hips.
* Designate one area or table that is attractive and dimmed with candles to display appetizers and let the guests help themselves. Keep in mind most appetizers have 50 to 80 calories.
* Make carbonated water with sliced citrus available, especially for designated drivers. It will also encourage people to alternate their alcoholic drinks with water.
* Keep your guests busy. Have a few "to do lists," such as lighting the candles, welcoming incoming guests, picture taking and serving drinks. This also gives the hosts more time to mingle.
* Have containers to store or send home leftovers to reduce excess nibbling later on.
Keep in mind, the holidays are a great time to get together with family and friends. The less stress we put on ourselves in preparing meals or entertaining, the more positive our experiences in sharing meals and connecting.

The main topic of conversation (and tweeting, and facebooking) lately has been the immense amounts of snow falling on the Mid-Atlantic, particularly on Washington DC.
I know it's because I live and interact with many fellow DC'ers online that I feel overwhelmed by the discussion. I felt like I couldn't blog today without mentioning:
There is a blizzard in DC (and now NYC and other parts of the East Coast) that has brought multiple feet of snow upon us, multiple times!! In DC we've broken a 111 year record for seasonal snowfall, surpassing 45 inches. That is a lot of snow, particularly for a Southern city without the capability to handle so much, so often.
I think my favorite part of the recent snow has been the twitter hashtags:
And my personal favorite, #snomas!
But on a more serious note, the 45 plus inches of snow this season in DC have also provided another road block on the road to passing certain legislation, including, ironically enough, the Climate Change bill.
There has been some pretty great organized fun in DC as well, including a 2000 person snowball fight in Dupont Circle, a neighborhood in downtown DC. Check out the video if you have a few minutes to spare for entertainment.

Ooh, I hadn't heard snowvereaction yet, I like that one.
For me, it's just kind of "didn't I leave Iowa for a *reason*?" I think Baltimore may have slightly less than DC but it's still, y'know, a lot of fucking snow. And the sidewalk clearing is still a bit dodgey. *waits for the thaw*
You forgot my personal favorite hashtag from this past weekend's storm: #snowtoriousbig
It needs to be added that it is now SNOW vs. the NATIONAL GUARD in DC. Granted I like the idea of the national guard taking care of people locally than killing elsewhere….
Especially since the secret service police, FBI police, and regular police showed up at the above mentioned dupont snowball fight! This is troublesome as a cop pulled a gun at an snowball fight earlier in the season. Hmmm, doesn't exactly make me safe. (Yes, some people went to the hospital for getting hit in the eye with snowballs of heavy snow….).
I've got at least a foot on the ground now, though the snow has tapered down from heavy accumulation to light. This is absurd.
We have 12 inches here on top of 28 that we got on Friday and Saturday, most of which had yet to be cleared away before today or, for that matter, melt.
The now multiple blizzards in DC in the space of a couple of days have affected a lot more than legislation in DC: women's access to clinics, homeless shelters, homeless in general, food pantries, people's access to power, poor folks access to food in general (a lot of children rely on the free lunch system in schools), prisoner's in jails ability to see family or take yard breaks, lost pay many people living paycheck to paycheck and much more.
This is something I've mentioned via twitter, but I wonder how long the after affects of this will be felt by families/how long it will take for the news outlets & blogs to cover.


text: This is most likely Christian's last chance at the title. When he lost the belt just days after getting it, I had a feeling it would go this way. I wish Christian would have been giving a decent chance at being the Champ, but that is in the past. Tonight WWE has a chance to fix it. If Orton is disqualified, or if he wins through referee incompetence, Then Christian will be the new champ. If I am Christian, I have someone run down to the ring and attack me. That would be the easiest way yo the belt. Tell me what you think.

We'll ignore a 'worthless' framework deal, says PLO
PLO Exec. C'tee Sec.-Gen Abed Rabbo 311 (R).
(photo credit:Mohamad Torokman/Reuters)
On the eve of US State Secretary John Kerry's meeting with Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO said that the Palestinians wouldn't pay
attention to a "worthless" framework agreement presented by the US.Kerry
is expected to meet with Abbas in Ramallah on Friday.PLO
Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo said that the Palestinians have already
spent the past few months negotiating with Israel, and there's no need to start
new talks about the implementation of a new framework agreement.Abed
Rabbo said that Kerry was now asking the Palestinians to agree to negotiations
with Israel over a new accord, which, he claimed, gives the Israelis control
over the Jordan Valley and restricts Palestinian sovereignty over Palestinian
territories.Abed Rabbo said that the only way to achieve a breakthrough
is by drawing full borders between a Palestinian state and Israel, on the basis
of the pre-1967 lines – including east Jerusalem.He also called for a
timetable for a full Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines.The PLO
official dismissed the idea of a land swap that would place Israeli Arabs in the
Triangle area under the jurisdiction of a Palestinian state in return for
annexing settlements to Israel."The settlers are the ones who should get
out of the Palestinian territories, because they are violating international
law," he said."No Palestinian state will be created without Jerusalem
and the Jordan Valley."Palestinian sources revealed Thursday that Kerry
would present the Israelis and Palestinians with a "blueprint" for a declaration
of principles.The sources said that the "blueprint" calls for an
extension of the peace talks beyond the nine-month deadline set by Kerry and
that expires in April 2014.The sources told the Palestinian daily
Al-Quds that the "most dangerous" part of the "blueprint" is Israel's demand
that the Palestinians recognize it as a Jewish state.According to the
sources, Kerry is expected to return to the region once again next week to
pursue his efforts to convince the Palestinians and Israelis to move forward
with the talks.

Guardian review
the guardian Tue 07 February 2012
Montaigne began his essais ("attempts" or "tests") preoccupied with mortality, following the deaths of all but one of his children, his brother, best friend and father. One of his early essays is entitled "To Philosophise Is to Learn to Die". However, as Frampton explains in this intelligent and sympathetic study, Montaigne gradually came to reject despair and to conclude that "living happily is the source of human happiness". In short, he came to value everyday life, albeit from the "shell-like protection" of a book-lined tower in his château. Frampton neatly contrasts him with Descartes, showing Montaigne to be more human and humane. Montaigne's scepticism also appeals to modern sensibilities and he adopted the magnificent motto Que sçais-je? what do I know? It ought to be on every coat of arms, secular and ecclesiastical, throughout the land. Montaigne's "human-centred" philosophy, Frampton argues, could help us gain self-knowledge, too, but this is not the middlebrow self-help book the title suggests, and is all the better for it.

The owner wasn't ready to open his doors, but former breakfast patrons of Atlanta Bread Company wouldn't go away. So, this week, Andy Conatser, owner of the new Look Rock Bakery and Pizzeria, opened the doors and let the eager breakfast group be his tasters.
Look Rock in Springbrook Corporate Center in Alcoa will officially open for business today, Thursday, Jan. 10. The owner says he's looking for a "soft opening," with a grand opening planned for later. The restaurant will be open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Conatser said he's been working with employees and chef Bill Goodier for about two months to get the new restaurant up and running. The 1985 Maryville High School graduate with 20 years in the restaurant business said customers should expect a fun atmosphere, great fresh food and friendly service.
"A lot of people are looking forward to this coming back," he said as a handful of former Atlanta Bread Co. customers dropped in for coffee even though the business wasn't officially open yet.
Conatser said the menu is going to have bakery and pastry items, gourmet coffees, quiche and breakfast sandwiches in the mornings. Lunch and dinner will add soups, salads, create-your-own sandwiches plus Philly cheesesteak, Reuben, turkey and a Fried Green Tomato BLT, and his gourmet pizzas and appetizers. Pizzas, in thick or thin crust, include everything from Three Cheese to Margherita to Pesto Chicken Basil or Italian Meatball. A Kids Menu offers grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly or a single slice of pizza with one topping, served with fruit or fresh fried potato chips and a small drink for $3.99.
Conatser went to school at the University of Tennessee, got his start in the restaurant business at Regas in Knoxville and then went to work in the business in Nashville before he returned to open Look Rock. Goodier, a chef who trained at the Culinary Institute of America, worked with several restaurants, including Olive Garden, before coming to Look Rock.
The menu is a mixture of dishes both Conatser and Goodier picked up throughout their careers. "Some of the recipes I've been working on forever and some are from Bill. We'll do specials every now and then on sandwiches and other stuff, and it will be a little bit different everyday," Conatser said.
Conatser said the prices at the restaurant are reasonable. "You don't want to be too expensive. This is not gourmet, sit down white table cloth dining and it's not Burger King. We're trying to keep about what was already here. Everyone seemed to be real happy with the price ranges with ABC," he said.
In addition to gourmet coffees, both hot and frozen, the restaurant will have soft drinks, lemonade, fruit smoothies, juices and an assortment of bottled and on-tap beer.
In the future, Conatser said Look Rock Bakery and Pizzeria will also offer catering.
Conatser said opening a restaurant like Look Rock has been a dream of his since taking an Independent Living class for seniors at Maryville High School.
"I was cooking at Maryville and telling my teacher at Maryville I would do this one day," he said.

This past week we had several serious prayer requests/concerns for members of our congregation. We've heard from some of them and their prayer was answered and yet others are still waiting and hoping for good news.
Sometimes we just don't understand how God decides to answer our prayers, but we have to remember and believe that He always knows best although we may not agree or like His decision. Either way, He will provide whatever it is we need to get us through the situation. We just have to have FAITH even though the wait is hard.
I hope and pray you have a good, safe week and please plan to attend church on Sunday. It makes all the difference in the week ahead.

This weekend it was actress Jessica Biel's turn to be a blushing bride, it turned out, as she married her fiancé, Justin Timberlake in a magical multiple-day celebration in Italy. Her stylist friend Bobbie Thomas let the cat out of the bag on her blog, saying that Jessica wore a Giambattista Valli dress with touches of pink for the ceremony.
No images of the event have been released, although plenty of tidbits have emerged. The couple chose Italy for the ceremony, the exact location, being a closely guarded secret until the very last minute – even to friends and relatives who awaited their final instructions once in the country itself.
Actor and former N-Syncer, Justin Timberlake, 31 and Jessica, 30 have been going out for since 2007, which is ages, especially considering this is Hollywood we're talking about - and have been engaged since December.

Real Primary Battle is a Delegate Matter
Romney has full slate, and big names; Santorum lacks candidates in 4 congressional districts
Republican contenders Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are locked in a fight to snag delegates in Tuesday's Illinois primary — but the contest giving the state a rare say in determining a presidential nominee almost didn't happen.
On a mid-January afternoon, minutes before closing time at the State Board of Elections in Springfield, each campaign's Illinois operatives filed a flurry of paperwork aimed at crippling the other's chances.
Romney allies challenged Santorum's spot on the ballot, as well as virtually all of his delegates. In turn, Santorum allies contested Romney's candidacy petitions, along with those of Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.
It was, one presidential campaign aide said, a true "standoff," the potential for mutually assured destruction that could have left empty Illinois' presidential ballot.

Is it just me, or does it seem like robbery, assault, attempted rape, etc. is on the rise recently in Mountain View? At least no one was hurt in this case, but these incidents are really starting to piss me off.

Extremely poor choice of headline titles. There's a place to be cute...but an article about an armed robbery semi-automatic guns is not that place.

Good Devil Sheer Balls Jockstrap: An Xpress Review by Guys' Underwear Blog
By Valdamar
This is the second Good Devil product in a month I have reviewed with "balls" in the name. I think Good Devil may be obsessed with balls, and who could blame them?
However, this time the reference to balls isn't regarding your anatomy but rather the design on the jock strap. I love Jock Straps myself and haven't found one that I haven't liked yet and this is no exception.
Good Devil has a strong record of providing us guys with underwear that is fun and sexy and that is the concept behind the Sheer Balls Jockstrap. It has your basic jockstrap design with a few flirty alterations.
The elastic waistband is black just short of an inch and a half wide and sports the "Good Devil" logo centered in the front above the pouch in a white "devil" font. The black elastic butt straps measuring just over an inch attach securely at the base of the pouch and go around the glutes to the waist band like a standard jock.
The pouch is where this jock gets its name, it is made of a 93% polyester 7% spandex fine mesh material giving it a sheer look. The material has the pattern of circles and balls printed onto the fabric in white with an almost rubbery thickness. The circular ball design distracts the eye from the sheer quality at first, then you notice behind the design you can see this guy's goods.
It also has a bit of elastic sewn into the sides to keep them in place. This jockstrap is fun and definitely made for the man who wants to show off and be a little bit daring. The pattern says playful and "Good", yet the sheerness says naughty and "Devil". This is one of them moments where the brand name and the product go perfectly together.
I was pretty excited to get this jockstrap, as I said, I am a huge fan of the style. Originally jockstraps were designed for athletic use and were made purely for support and functionality, not looks, although they still looked great.
Nowadays we have a huge selection of jocks made for the look that don't function as a support garment, this is one of those. But none the less I was still stocked! Even though I wouldn't wear this out for a game of rugby or on a long hike I am still going to put this jock to use as a fashion statement and it may even make an appearance in the gym.
I put on the jock and loved the way it looked right away and it gave me a sense of sexiness with a touch of fun. The pouch was comfortable with a sleek feel of polyester, and although I could feel the rubbery circle at first I found after a second I didn't notice them at all.
I love the free cool feeling of a jock's open back, yet still having a support in the front. This jock was not as supportive as the athletic kind but it wasn't unsupportive neither. It had a roomy pouch and with the fine mesh it was very airy and light. It is a good casual wear jock and works as an everyday jock.
Its construction is good, as well – I feel it will last and washed well coming through the whole wear and wash process looking like new. The pattern on the jock also kept its look with no visable signs of wear.
Good Devil has created a fun sexy jock with the Sheer Balls Jock and it's one all jock lovers will be happy to add to their collections.
|Style and look?
|The style is not your typical athletic look for a jock. This one gives the classic a fun and playful design while at the same time the sheer "you can see my bits" look says sexy and flirtatious. It's definitely an original look for a jockstrap.
|Suitable for?
|Casual everyday wear, and anytime you want to be daring and show off. Great for dates and frat-like fun with the boys. Not an athletically supportive jock strap but great as underwear.
|Fit and quality?
|The elastic bands and hem around the pouch make this a great fit and the stretchy fabric keep you feeling in place and comfortable. I found it to fit great. The quality is also very good and will last as it's well put together.
|Is the price right?
|The jock comes at $24.75 which may seem a little bit expensive for a jockstrap, however other designer jocks can cost you up to $35. I know I have paid more for a jockstrap. Looking through some sites I've found 20 – 25 to be the average. So this isn't a bad buy.
|Best thing about it?
|The look! I have never seen another jockstrap with circles as a design pattern. Good Devil has put a little bit of fun into the jock without being silly nor childish, it just conveys a hip and trendy type of fun that you don't always see in jockstraps
|Overall grade
|★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Good Devil gets 4 out of 5 stars with its uniquely styled Sheer Balls Jock Strap. This is definitely a pair of underwear that will be one of the highlight of your jockstrap collection. It's fun, sexy and keeps its masculine flair. So jump into this jockstrap and show it off guys!

Good Devil Ballz Out: An Xpress Review by Guys' Underwear Blog
By Valdamar
When I first saw a picture of this underwear collection I was instantly reminded of a Mad TV skit about Balls Out Jeans.
The skit makes reference to the fact that women walk around with their breasts hanging out and asks "Hey guys, are you tired of women showing off their junk while you can't say a thing? Wouldn't it be great to walk around the street with your junk hanging out?" It then goes on to introduce a new pair of jeans where men's balls hang out.
The whole thing is a joke but in a satirical way makes a point. So upon seeing this collection I wondered, is this a joke? But it's as real as it gets and it's great.
Good Devil's Ballz Out underwear has a strategically placed hole located perfectly between your legs allowing your testicles to hang out. Just like the satirical, yet unreal, Balls Out Jeans of Mad TV, the Ballz Out collection from Good Devil is a man-empowering product.
A man's testicles are the symbol of his masculinity, his power and all that define him as male. Your penis is more of a sex symbol and sensuous while at times being thought of as vulgar for that reason.
Your balls on the other hand are more of a sign of power, bravery and what makes a guy a guy. So the displaying of the balls without the penis really brings to light your masculine features and everything that makes you a man.
There is nothing more masculine than your balls. They look these undies give takes a little getting used to, it is kind of weird, but at the same time it's hard to take your eyes off a guys balls so prominently displayed.
If you ever wear these in front of anyone you will with out a doubt be the center of attention, and you probably will keep that attention as long as you are visible.
But the Ballz Out feature of this collection goes beyond it's male-empowering look, it can be quite useful. If you are a guy who feels his balls get hot easily, this underwear can be very cooling.
Or if you, like me, are a man who like to position his penis upward or away from his balls so that it doesn't lay over them this underwear could be the answer.
Let's face it, most of the time your underwear isn't seen anyway so the practicality of the design is important. If you long for free swaying balls cooling in the breeze while still having support for your dangling penis Good Devil has your answer.
The Ballz Out collection comes in a bikini, boxer (square cut) and a thong each in white, turquoise, pink, black or red giving you a great selection of options.
I tried two selections a red bikini and a pink boxer. The boxer wore well, I felt comfortable and in place all day with out any problem.
The same went for the Bikini, it was comfortable and didn't ride or chaff even after a full day of wear. I admit I was apprehensive about ever purchasing underwear like this so now was my opportunity to get some of my questions answered first hand.
First of all, would underwear like this be comfortable? Yes, I was actually surprised that I was comfortable. The fabric is %93 polyester giving the underwear a stability and nice sheen, yet it also is 7 % spandex allowing it to move and mold to you body while retaining it's shape.
And there is a nice sized pouch to contain your penis without it feeling smashed. Of course the comfort level also may depend on what pants you're wearing, I was in basketball type shorts with every wear I don't know if I would want to wear these with denim jeans.
Second, will your balls stay in place? Again yes, I worried that if the room temperature would drop a little I would find myself slipping back inside the underwear or somewhere out of place to great discomfort or even pain. However, that never happened, my testicles remained in place outside the underwear.
Third, could I wear this all day? Well I did, and as I mentioned earlier I never felt uncomfortable. This may depend on what you're doing, too, if you were running or involved in some high athletic activity and you happen to have a pendulous nut sac you may not want them swinging around the whole time.
I do admit as ridiculous an item as I originally thought this collection was I kind of liked them. They may be an acquired taste and I'm sure not everyone is going to love them but they make a statement and they were comfortable, kept me cool, and were fun.
I found myself constantly touching my balls all day, you may want to watch that at times it may not be appropriate. So like they sing in the Mad TV skit, in the tune of who let the dogs out, "Who's got their balls out?!"
|Style and look?
|The basic style is very traditional in cut and look. Then you have the hole where your balls hang out, that gives this a novel and fun look, yet at the same time hyper-masculine. I don't see this becoming a new trend anytime soon in the world of fashion, yet it is different and original.
|Suitable for?
|Show and novelty. And although it is perfectly suitable for everyday wear I doubt that's what many guys would use it for. It's a great pair to wear for fun to a party with the guys or to show off to friends. It's an entertaining pair of undies to own.
|Fit and quality?
|The fit was great. Both pairs conformed to my body perfectly, the pouch contained me comfortably and the hole my testicles hung out of was not tight but was very comfortable. The quality was good and I machine washed and dried both, although it's recommended to hand wash and air dry, and both came out in great condition.
|Is the price right?
|The Ballz Out Thong goes for $23.10, The bikini goes for $24.20, And the boxer goes for $26.95 which is a standard price for Good Devil underwear or any other similar undies. Although it is hard to put a price on underwear like this which is unlike other underpants.
|Best thing about it?
|Your balls hang out, that's what this is all about. Whether you're doing it for the fun of it, as a gag or because you really want your balls out, either for comfort or coolness, that is the best and probably only reason you will buy these. A great bonus, however, is that they are actually comfortable and you could wear them anytime if you want to.
|Overall grade
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
Good Devil's Ballz Out underwear collection scores a whopping three stars for giving us a pair of underwear that makes a statement, is fun and at the same time is wearable and comfortable. I say that again because I have seen novelty or sexy underwear that is all about the look but you would not wear it any longer then you had to. So again I shout "Who's got their balls out?!"

SHELBY, N.C. (AP) - Officials say increased safety measures are in place as the Cleveland County Fair opens a year after a E. coli outbreak.
Health department staff and volunteers were at hand-washing stations, demonstrating proper hand-washing techniques and walked through the crowds reminding people to wash their hands during Thursday's opening day.
Last year's outbreak resulted in 106 E. coli cases and the death of a toddler.
Health officials said the petting zoo at the fair was the sources of the outbreak.
Seven lawsuits by families of victims have been consolidated in Gaston County and are being reviewed by a judge. No trial date has been set.
Officials say 165,000 people attended the fair last year. Interim Fair Manager Bobby Jenks hopes to hit a record attendance of 200,000 people this year.

The Oakland Raiders held their rookie mini-camp this weekend and media was invited to attend Saturday's practice to get their first look at this year's draft class and un-drafted rookies that were signed afterwards.
Players split up into their respective groupings for individual drills prior to partaking in team activities on the main field.
One player that stuck out on the field today was cornerback and 12th-overall draft pick D.J. Hayden. Hayden continued to use exceptional footwork to keep up with the receiver in and out of their breaks. Hayden made a nice break on a ball along the sideline for a nice pass defensed, but still felt as if he should have done more.
"It helped put me at ease because it's just production. As long as I keep making production I feel like I can get better and just make plays," the 22-year-old cornerback said. "When I made the little play, I was happy, but I should've caught it. You know, there's always room for improvement."
After suffering a near-death injury suffered in practice last season, Hayden feels right back at home back on the gridiron and doesn't think about the freak accident that occurred.
"It feels so great just to get back out there and put the helmet back on and just actually be on the field in practice. It felt good, real good," Hayden said.
With the veterans not yet in camp, fourth round draft pick quarterback Tyler Wilson saw plenty of time on the field and looked to have a strong arm and put plenty of zip on the ball. Wilson found wide receiver Brice Butler on a couple of occasions, who used his hands nicely on receptions.
"We're learning all these new plays, this new lingo. It's tough," the 23-year-old quarterback out of Arkansas said. "I think the first day and a half we've been out here, getting in and out of the huddle has probably been the biggest thing. It's not throwing and catching, that's pretty easy, but it's just learning everything and piecing everything together."
Wilson recognizes that the Raiders present him with a chance to earn the starting quarterback position, though he still has plenty of work ahead of him.
"It's an opportunity and obviously there's a lot I have to learn," Wilson said. "It's one of the things you to dive in and really attack and I've got a lot of work to do to get up to speed because there's been veteran guys that've been here and are way ahead of me right now. So I'm playing catch up. I do think I can bring some things to the table skills set wise, but again, I'm playing catchup at this point. I'm going to use this opportunity to compete like heck."
Linebacker Sio Moore, out of the University of Connecticut, has quickly become a favorite Raider Nation after stating that the team just drafted the best linebacker in the draft and that nobody would outwork him. Moore was drafted in the third round by Reggie McKenzie.
Head coach Dennis Allen has liked what he has seen from Moore after seeing him lined up at a variety of positions throughout practices, including with his hand down on third downs trying to get at the quarterback with his speed on the edge.
"We let him rush a little bit today. He's played the WILL linebacker, we've played him at the SAM linebacker. His ability to understand multiple positions has been good," Allen said of Moore's versatility. "He's a guy, like I said after we drafted him: he loves football. He loves football. He wants to work; he wants to get better. He's a guy that I just think is going to get better as he gets comfortable with the scheme."
Moore relishes the idea of being moved around the field and being asked to perform multiple duties, but knows he has to work on getting the details right every time.
"Man, I love it. I love it," Moore said of Jason Tarver's defensive scheme. "They give me an opportunity to do a little bit of everything and right now it's just learning it all and really being exact and that's the thing I've picked up the most: everything is about being exact and perfect."
Moore also mentioned that he received advice from fellow former UConn Husky and now Raiders safety Tyvon Branch Friday.
"I talked to Tyvon yesterday and he just told me the same thing: stick to your playbook and work, when the veterans come out here, the stuff that we're learning now is going to be like the back of your hand so as rookies we need to try and take it all in and try to be close to where they're at," Moore said.
Much of Raider Nation and media alike didn't know much about running back Latavius Murray when the Raiders selected him in the sixth round, but he may quickly make a name for himself.
With an injury-prone Darren McFadden ahead of him, Murray has an opportunity to earn some playing time as a rookie. Murray runs upright much like McFadden and has surprising speed for his 6-foot-two, 223-pound frame. Also like McFadden, he has tremendous hands and looked like a natural catching the ball out of the backfield, including a tremendous one-handed catch on a screen play during practice.
"It's just kind of a bonus that I bring to the table, a strength of mine," Murray said of his pass-catching abilities. "I just got to make sure I go out there and make sure it's something I'm comfortable doing – which it is – and just bring it to the field everyday."
But Murray knows he he can't get comfortable and that there is always a part of his game that he can work on improving.
"Overall, I just got to get better as a player," Murray said. "I have to come out here and get better every day and work on the little things. I think there's always room to improve, so that's my focus everyday."
The rookies have one more practice on Sunday before the veterans come to camp. The media will have their next day during the team's Organized Team Activities next weekend, on May 20.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones has left his game against the Baltimore Ravens with a lower leg injury and his return is questionable.
Jones was seen favoring his leg as he limped off the field. He had one reception for 10 yards before exiting the game.
WR Boykin has replaced Jones on offense for #Packers. #GBvsBAL— Green Bay Packers (@packers) October 13, 2013
Jarrett Boykin, who replaced Jones, is a second-year veteran who entered the game with five career catches.
Jones, in his seventh year, has been a major factor in the Packers' passing attack this season, providing Aaron Rodgers with a reliable set of hands after the departure of Greg Jennings in the offseason. Jones has 19 catches for 339 yards and two touchdowns this season.
His biggest performance came in a Week 2 win over the Redskins, where he had 11 catches on 12 targets and piled up 178 yards. He also went over the 100-yard mark last week in a win over Detroit, going for 127 yards and a touchdown.
UPDATE: The Packers have announced that Jones is out for the rest of the game:
WR Jones is out for rest of game for #Packers. #GBvsBAL— Green Bay Packers (@packers) October 13, 2013
In addition to Jones, the Packers are now also without star wideout Randall Cobb, who took a nasty shot to the lower leg just before the half in Baltimore. More on Cobb's injury here.

August 4 marks the Memorial of Saint John Vianney, Patron of all Priests. On that day, Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge will celebrate Mass in commemoration of Saint Vianney at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 12:00 PM. The liturgy continues the Diocesan observance of the Year for Priests. It will also mark the third anniversary of Bishop Burbidge's installation as Bishop of Raleigh.
During the Mass, the Bishop will bless a statue of Saint John Vianney that will travel to the eight deaneries of the Diocese throughout the year for Masses and other liturgical prayer.
Saint John Vianney died in 1859 at the age of 73. He was canonized May 31, 1925. In honor of the 150th anniversary of his death, Pope Benedict XVI announced in March that during this year he will proclaim the Saint "Patron of all Priests." Previously, Saint John Vianney was deemed the Patron of Diocesan Priests.


text: A great injustice is being done to King Diamond's The Graveyard: Many folks say that this is a bad album, King's worst even. This probably scares away curious would-be buyers. Well, I'm here to tell you not to get a tarnished preceonceived notion of this cd. Normally I state things as opinion(coz that's what they are), but this I'll state as fact coz it is: The Graveyard is the best album King Diamond put out in the 90s. The songs do not "run together", there are too "songs that stand out". You trying to tell me that Digging Graves doesn't stand out?? The music is the best it has been in years(and for some years after as well). The story is a different approach as well. After doing Hammer Film-esque gothic horrors, King tries for an all out psychological suspense type thriller this time. It's a good approach, coz this is one of the most unique and interesting stories King Diamond has ever given us. King even gives a "Don't try this at home" kind of message in the liner notes. Well, I should hope not for crying out loud! But whether you try it at home or not, don't get a jaded opinion of the Graveyard before you hear it-you'll be cheating yourself if you do. Get it and hear it and you'll see what I mean. Then you'll also wish the naysayers well…..In Hell!!
