These are not the small, delicate scones of the clotted cream and high tea variety.
These are hearty breakfast treats. Our Maple Walnut Scones have a toasted, homey taste and a dense texture. Serve slightly warm or let them cool and dunk them in your morning coffee as you would a donut.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
Add the butter. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the butter is pea-sized.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, ¾ cup of the buttermilk, and the maple extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and then gently knead the dough with your hands until the dough starts to come together. Add the walnuts to the dough and knead gently to incorporate. Move the dough to a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to shape the dough into two discs (about 1½ inches in height). Do not overwork the dough.
Cut each disk into 6 wedges with a knife. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush each scone with the remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake in the center of the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes (rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time) or until the scones are golden brown.
Transfer the scones to a cooling rack to cool completely.
We recommend using an all-natural maple extract in this recipe. Some artificial extracts have a very unusual flavor that can affect the taste of your scone.
Serving size is one scone.

With temperatures dropping in the Santa Clarita Valley, firefighters urge residents not to use home appliances to keep their homes warm as more accidents related to carbon monoxide poisoning are reported in Los Angeles County, according to a County Fire Department statement released Monday.
Regarding the proposed beautification project for Auto Row, our City Council seems to have money available for projects that may look wonderful in an architectural rendering, but not in reality.
I, for one, am fed up with all the wackos, tea party members, politically biased hypocrites, TV analysts and especially those TV crybabies who have been criticizing our president the last two years. Were they comatose during the George W. Bush years?
It was unfortunate that the otherwise excellent series on valley coaches by The Signal's sports staff overlooked the swimming talent of both coaches and athletes in Santa Clarita.
The Story Village
Coat drive
It's that time of the year again when we assess our year's accomplishments and look forward to what we should and can do this year.
Morning storytime
"I thought we'd heard the end of this right-wing nonsense," my friend Libby declared. "I mean, this whole debate is so yesterday."
Thirty-two votes.
Fueled in part by federal grants and state bonds, and unfazed by the economy, Santa Clarita charged through 2010 at full speed, closing out the year with several milestones reached.
The Signal's occassional series on the events and happenings of 2010 began Dec. 21.
I have a confession. When I was first assigned the Senior Living beat at The Signal, I was not thrilled.
Seven female students, ages 11-14, from the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley took part in an all-day robotics competition this November at La Cañada High School. They walked away with the Research Quality Award, enhanced confidence and memories of an amazing experience.
In December, the 30-plus associates of Valencia's Petersen International Underwriters again collected food for the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry in an effort to help make the holidays better for some of the community's less fortunate residents. This is the second year, Peterson made an organized effort to collect food and it was able to triple last year's donation. According to the staff at the SCV Food Pantry, this year's donation will provide food for approximately 250–300 people.
Whether they're new to the community, longtime residents or slowly establishing local roots, three Facey Medical Group doctors share why they are proud to live and work in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Always his passion to work with people in a healthcare related field, Moazzem H. Chowdhury decided when he was young that working as a pharmacist would give him the most direct ties to the community he wanted to serve.
With 22 years in practice, Dr. Linda Chenaur is creating a new standard for helping people in the community solve their back pain problems.
One patient was wheeled down the hallway, stable after an open-heart surgery.
It is my honor to serve as your councilwoman. I am available full-time and every-day – responding to your concerns – bringing fresh, new ideas to ensure that our city continues to provide the high quality of life we demand.
Scott and Vanessa Wilk have made Santa Clarita Valley their home for nearly 25 years, and last year, he was honored to be elected to the 38th Assembly District.
Moazzem Chowdhury has lived in the United States for over 25 years and the city of Santa Clarita has been his home for over 20 years. Moazzem, Jeenat, his wife of 30 years, and his son and daughter all consider themselves blessed to live here.
Dear Santa Clarita friends and neighbors,
My wife Pamela and I moved to Santa Clarita in 1965. We raised two children and have five gorgeous grandchildren. Four generations of our family live in Santa Clarita.
This summer, the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce will host the third annual Patriot Luncheon on July 11 at the Hyatt Regency Valencia.
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich will address the Santa Clarita Valley business and community leaders on May 1 at the fifth annual State of the County Luncheon.
We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on. With the constant barrage of information available in today's 24/7 world, it's important to not get caught up in the day-to-day market volatility and news headlines. That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.
Bayless is…
With everything from nationally ranked academic programs to effective career education opportunities and college placement services, Hart district students are afforded every opportunity to excel in an increasingly competitive academic environment.
Whether priorities are schools, recreation or convenience and friendly neighborhoods, home buyers are finding that Fair Oaks Ranch by Pardee Homes fills the bill.

Hello everyone. It's sweet to be out in this great weather and getting in as much disc golf as possible... However a good friend Dave Sime AKA ( Disc R Dave) was robbed in Albert Lea on March 18th sometime between noon and 4 pm...his rear window was open a bit and when he returned he found it pried open and was missing 2 wooden boxes of discs ( approximately 45 of them )!!! This frustrates me as I would hope it would you guys!!! If it is not too much to ask of you fine folks to PLEASE keep an eye out for anyone throwing discs with his name on them or anyone who might mention having a lot of used discs for sale!!! If you do find out there is no need to be a hero and give them a full body wedgie and hang them from the flagpole, ( although it being very tempting) It would be great to get him his plastic back!!! He filed a police report in Albert Lea and estimated the lost plastic and wooden boxes at $750. Please unite and lets get Disc R Dave his passion back!!! Thanx to everyone... Keep banging chains folks... :)

In women, the number of wrist fractures increases at menopause and plateaus after age 65. This is most likely related to the rapid loss of bone in the years following menopause. Since men don't experience menopause, the incidence of wrist fracture in men remains fairly constant.
The wrist is made up of two bones in the lower arm, the radius and ulna, plus the small bones of the hand. Most wrist fractures occur outdoors during the winter months when snow and ice make walking treacherous, and falls are common. Often, a person extends an arm to break a fall. The hand and forearm take all the weight and force from the fall, and one of the wrist bones breaks.
Colles Fracture
Colles fractures occur when the radius breaks within one or two inches of the wrist (the distal radius). Colles fractures (named after the doctor who first described it) occur most frequently in postmenopausal women. The risk for Colles fracture appears to be related to the bone density of the distal radius.
Diagnosis of Wrist Fractures
Following a fall, you may be bruised and sore. Sometimes, a fracture may be misdiagnosed as a bad sprain (an injury to the ligaments). Pain, limited movement, and weak hand grasp in the affected arm is ignored. Your wrist is probably fractured rather than sprained if you have:
- persistent pain
- swelling near the wrist
- changes in finger movement
- numbness
Usually, an x-ray can confirm the diagnosis. Once the fracture is diagnosed, appropriate treatment begins.
A wrist fracture may also be a sign of underlying problems such as:
- low bone density
- poor balance
- vision/hearing problems
Treatment of Wrist Fractures
The primary goal of treatment is to return normal movement to the affected hand and wrist. Throughout the healing process there will be exercises that you must do to preserve movement and flexibility, and re-gain strength.
The appropriate treatment depends on the location and severity of the fracture.
- Simple fracture means that the bone has broken, but the broken edges remain close enough together that simple manipulation re-aligns the involved bone (known as reduction of the fracture).
- Complex fracture means that multiple pieces of bone are broken or that the joint is involved. In this case, a cast alone may be inadequate and surgery may be required.
The first cast or splint will extend above the elbow to restrict movement of both the elbow and wrist. You will be taught exercises for your fingers and shoulder on the affected side. It is important that you perform the exercises, even while in the cast. This will help prevent finger stiffness (one of the side effects of a Colles fracture).
Over the first two to three weeks, your wrist will be x-rayed weekly. If the bones have slipped out of position, an operation may be needed to reposition the bones and pin them in place. In any case, the cast or splint is removed after 6 or 8 weeks. You can help regain strength and maintain mobility with active and passive exercises for the:
After the cast or splint is removed, you may occasionally use a wrist support or splint to support and protect the joint.
Sometimes, the wrist may not look exactly the same as it did before the fracture, but with proper physical therapy, little function will be lost.
Initially, you will need assistance with your daily routine. If the break is in your dominant arm, you may need help with tasks, such as dressing, grooming, and bathing.
The secondary goal of treatment is to determine whether osteoporosis is present. Since wrist fractures occurring in women age 40-60 can be the result of osteoporosis, or may be an early warning sign of it, a bone density test would be appropriate. A bone density test measures your current bone health and is the only way to predict your risk for future fractures.
Preventing Wrist Fractures
If you have osteoporosis (or at high risk of developing it) steps must be taken to maintain existing bone density. If your bone density is in the normal range, you should focus on preserving your bone health. Studies have shown that adequate calcium and vitamin D intake and weight-bearing exercises preserve bone density. If the test shows that your bone density is low, calcium, vitamin D, and exercise may not be enough to protect against osteoporosis. You may be prescribed osteoporosis medications to prevent or slow further bone loss.

Print Hall Bar, Perth CBD
It's Oyster Frenzy at Print Hall Bar on Tuesday nights, with Perth's King of Oysters Jerry Fraser shucking Australia's finest oysters: AU$18 half dozen, $30 dozen and $50 two dozen. Regular readers and my friends know what I think of oysters, but they also know how much I adore Jerry.
Seafood is on Print Hall Bar's menu every day: you can indulge in a feast of chilled seafood with platters assembled to order, served with housemade cocktail sauces and dressings, lemon, lime and craggy sourdough bread by Small Print Baker and Roastery.
Jac and I met up with her friend Karen after work for a seafood dinner that started with a cold pint or two.
There are three seafood platters to choose from: The Jerry, with blue manna crab, tiger prawns, mussels and Jerry's oysters (AU$50), The South Western, with Blue Ridge marron, Cambinata yabbies and Albany oysters (AU$75) and The Print Hall, the whole shebang which we shared between the three of us. It was an abundant arrangement presented on crushed ice, put together by Jerry Fraser himself, with Western rock lobster, Blue Ridge marron, blue manna crab, tiger prawns, Cambinata yabbies and of course, Jerry's oysters - that night, Sydney Pacific oysters. The seafood's cooked simply, the crustaceans in all their bug-like glory with beady eyes, many legs, tender fleshy parts and hard poky bits. The house made sauces and dressings included horseradish, cocktail sauce and mignonette. I guess bibs don't really match with the dress code of the place, but they would've come in handy as we twisted heads, cracked claws and plucked and sucked meat from tails. Get dirty or go home hungry.
By the way, if you don't like seafood, there are other choices on the menu. The lunch menu's bigger than the dinner menu - see Print Hall Bar menus.
I'm no drinker but there's something that keeps bringing me back to Print Hall and this golden bar. Bad service is something we complain about a lot in Perth, but here in the Print Hall Bar and upstairs at The Apple Daily, I've experienced nothing but excellent service. And it's always great to have a yarn with Jerry. I'm yet to make it into the Print Hall Dining Room for a meal... I'm just having too good a time in the main bar.

It came as no surprise, at least to me, that the Oilers took Nail Yakupov as the first overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft. While there had been some speculation that the Oilers might take defenseman Ryan Murray, which would have helped the Oilers struggling defensive core, Yakupov was the clear number one pick. Picking Yakupov also gives the Oilers a unique opportunity for their top line combination, with the ability to have a top line of three number one picks on the same line in the form of Nail Yakupov and Taylor Hall on the wings and centered by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. This would setup a second line combination, with the roster as it stands today, of Jordan Eberle, Sam Gagner, and Ales Hemsky. Now of course anything could happen in the offseason but that's still an impressive top 6.
As much as I like Ryan Murray, as any of you who have read my previous articles know, I firmly believe the Oilers made the right choice in taking Yakupov. Offensively the Oilers are pretty much set, unless they decide to try to change up Gagner for someone with a little more size at center. Either way picking Yakupov means the Oilers will be finding other ways to retool their defense, likely through trade or free agency. The Oilers are reportedly in the running for Free Agent Justin Schultz, which could solve at least some of the issues on defense. Let's not forget either that Oscar Klefbom is at most a year away from being NHL ready according to the Oilers. However the Oilers need results next season, assuming there isn't a lockout, and those results have to be at least making the playoffs.
The Oilers still have yet to name a head coach; something I thought would have been done before the draft. It's been reported that former NHL coach and TSN analyst Marc Crawford has been interviewed twice yet not considered being a serious contender while Ralph Krueger seems to be the current favorite of the media. Now having watched the Oilers under Krueger a couple of times last season I have to seriously wonder about this. The Oilers seemed unresponsive at best under Krueger while Marc Crawford has proven success in the NHL, most notably from his days in Colorado (who coincidentally are the last team as the Quebec Nordiques who drafted number one over all three straight times). Just something to think about when you are deciding who you would like to see as the next head coach of the Oilers.
Here is the list of Draft Picks from the 2012 NHL Draft for the Edmonton Oilers:
1st overall – Nail Yakupov (RW)
32nd overall – Mitch Moroz (LW)
63rd overall – Jujhar Khaira (LW)
91st overall – Daniil Zharkov (LW)
93rd overall – Erik Gustafsson (D)
123rd overall – Joey Laleggia (D)
153rd overall – John McCarron (RW)
Other notes: At the NHL awards before the draft both Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle were up for awards yet neither of them won.

This is my first post as a member of the "In Lou We Trust" website and I'm proud to be on board. That being said, let's get down to business. I'm sure many devils fans like myself were very upset at the recent development that Rick Nash will be facing our beloved team 6 times now instead of 1, and it will be with a NYR sweater on. This isn't too comforting considering the guy's mad skill. So I'm also sure that many devils fans are wondering how the devils will combat it. To those who were anticpating the signing of a big player in response- I'm sorry to say that it's not going to happen.
Mainly for financial reasons. Let's not forget that the Devils, while they do have cap space to sign a big contract for a player like Semin, MUST NOT get tied up in a deal like that. At the end of next season, Elias, Zajac, Zubrus, and Clarkson are all UFA's while Josefson and his Swedish colleague Tedenby are RFA's. This cannot be comforting from a devils fan standpoint. These players DEFINE NJD hockey in my opinion. They are not big names nor do they have staggering stats. But their hearts and teamwork quietly win games, and thats the NJD way. Therefore, it is paramount to Lou to resign every single one of these players because of how essential they have been in their own unique ways to the success of this current team. He needs the space for that at the end of next season.
But even putting aside the financial reasons, I truly believe in the current offensive talent (even without Captain traitor). Clarky scored 30 goals last year- who knew?! Zajac is establishing himself as a big time center. Josefson, Henrique, and Tedenby are all young, rising stars. Elias, Zubrus and Sykora, while seasoned, definitely still have 15-20 goals EACH in them. And of course there's Ilya Kovalchuk who I believe will light it up next season knowing he's the top offensive power now. So I don't know why the devils would risk signing a questionable player like Semin, who's known to be a coach's nightmare which is truly the last thing the devils need right now given the stability behind the bench and in the lockeroom.
So in all, trust in our team. Yea the Rangers have Nash which is just another post it on their long history of grabbing the top players. But we believe in our beloved team, just the way it is now, to get the job done

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has requested to find a provider who can offer free wireless internet access in Tampa outdoor parks.
Buckhorn said he wanted people of all ages to come downtown to work and play at the same time.
"WiFi will be a draw, particularly for the thousands of visitors who come down to the parks throughout our urban core, and a great amenity for the residents who live around them," he said.
The Request for Proposal specified that the connection will be available along the Tampa Riverwalk, Water Works Park, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, Cotanchobee Park, and Riverfront Park.
Buckhorn requested a vendor who could run that network independently from the city and support it with advertising funds.

9Brandi Glanville defends calling her son an asshole and a dick
Can we all just open this piece by stating the obvious: Brandi Glanville is batshit crazy and probably is a questionable-quality mother to her two sons from her marriage to Eddie Cibrian, 11-year-old Mason and 7-year-old Jake (not that Eddie and LeAnn Rimes are any better). Most recent case in point? Referring to Jake as an "asshole" and a "dick" on her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered. Oops?
"My son's name is Jake: He's 7, he's a complete a**hole, but we love him. Oh man, he's a d*ck, seriously."
Of course, Brandi isn't one to examine the error of her ways – she'd rather just defend the bullshit that comes out of her mouth as totally rational. Like, say, remember when she "joked" that she wished she had been molested as a kid? Or when she made a racist remark to a black woman, which cost her a job? Like, OMG guys, just lighten up!
I joke about my kids &dogs being assholes sometimes cuz honestly the can be but I love them more then life!!people that know me know that!
— Brandi Glanville (@BrandiGlanville) June 21, 2014
OMG I jokingly refer 2my kids&dogs as lil assholes sometimes cuz they can be.my mom called us her lil- shits-stop taking things so seripusly
— Brandi Glanville (@BrandiGlanville) June 21, 2014
In a way, I get it – she's got a case of the Kate Gosselins. Kids are bastards and utter pains in the ass 95% of the time. They're loud, they're dirty, they're disgustingly unhygienic, they mouth off, they take all your money, etc. And I'm sure Brandi wouldn't let anyone ELSE talk about her kids like that, so she's kinda just telling the truth. But is the place to do that really on a public podcast? It just seems in such poor taste. But then, look who we're talking about!
I dunno, guys, what do you think? Should everyone lighten up? Should she have made a "joke" like this?

1Brandi Glanville says Eddie Cibrian still loves her
Why on earth anyone would ever want a piece of Eddie Cibrian is beyond me, but I suppose old habits die hard. We all know Brandi Glanville lost her damn mind after Eddie cheated on her/left her for LeAnn Rimes. She charged her vaginal rejuvination to his credit card, hit the plastic surgeon again, "wrote" a book and started spouting serious fuckery left and right on social media and to anyone else who would listen to her. It's been… a journey (and LeAnn is no better, clearly).
Anyway, Brandi's latest revelation is that Eddie apparently still wants her and that LeAnn is nothing more than a "backup plan". Oh, girl, no – grow a clue and some dignity, because this is not a good look. Even if you want to indulge in some insanity in your private life to make yourself feel better about how things have turned out, you don't put it on Twitter!
He's my EX- so do I really want him or am I ok with him telling Me how much he LUUUVS ME but is gonna chill with his "backupplan"#nothot
— Brandi Glanville (@BrandiGlanville) May 5, 2014

0Is Eddie Cibrian Begging Brandi Glanville for Child Support?
You know, I sorta feel bad for Brandi Glanville. Not only did she get cheated on and have her marriage fall apart, but she also just CANNOT GET OVER IT. Despite roughly five years having passed since all of this went down, and everyone else (sorta) moving on, Brandi continues to talk about Eddie Cibrian and their marriage, how things used to be, all the stuff they did, everything he's doing now, how his relationship is with current wife LeAnn Rimes, etc. It's exhausting. If even LeAnn Rimes is starting to look classy in comparison, you know you in danger, girl.
So here's the deal: Brandi went on Twitter on Tuesday (of course she did) claiming that she's shit talking Eddie in her new book because he's been begging her for child support so it's all justified, not lies. Sure, he's got a big house and what would seem like plenty of money (despite the fact that he and LeAnn have done absolutely nothing to keep any kind of income coming in), but apparently he can't pay for their kids.
Im not taking cheap shots at my ex in my new book cuz its all true,&now mr fancy new cars&house man is asking ME for child support!Uknownada
— Brandi Glanville (@BrandiGlanville) February 18, 2014
Is there any truth to it? Eddie's camp says no, and issued the following statement to People:
"There is no truth to the claims that Eddie has requested child support from Brandi now, nor will he ever request child support from his ex-wife. The notion is preposterous. This is yet another ploy for self-promotion."
That seems about right to me, but a "source" (i.e. Brandi with a different gmail address and/or a voice changer) told the magazine the following:
"Now that Brandi is making money and is successful, Eddie is backtracking on a prior agreement they had regarding child support payments. He's asking for money back from her, over $100,000, saying he overpaid. But he's asking for more than he's paid her in the first place!"
Who knows – but then WHO NEEDS TO KNOW? Seriously. Can we not just shut up about this whole thing? Have some dignity, Brandi.

2Brandi Glanville Lost A Job Because Of A Controversial Remark
Brandi Glanville lost a hosting gig at the glamorous Hard Rock Hotel in Tampa because of a controversial remark she made to co-star Joyce Giraud. Some are calling her racist for what she said. So what did she say? Here's the story, via Daily News:
Glanville stirred up controversy during a Dec. 9 episode when, after co-star Giraud admitted she couldn't swim, Glanville remarked, "You're black."
"Yes, I'm black," Giraud responded. "What's your problem? Puerto Ricans are black, they're Indian and they're Spanish. So I am a mix of three cultures and I'm very proud to represent all three."
"It was a joke and my black friends would've laughed like crazy, because they don't go in the pool because they will get their weave f–ked up," Glanville said.
Glanville later apologized on Watch What Happens Live! "I know what I said was definitely inappropriate, but I say a lot of inappropriate things. I'm not racist, I'm just inappropriate 90% of the time!" Glanville insisted.
Oh, man, terrible apology, Ms. Glanville. Terrible. According to Radar Online, the company that hired her for the hosting gig is pulling out, saying,
As a company who prides itself on its core values of 'Love All, Serve All,' SHRHC has decided to proceed with the planned party without Ms. Glanville's appearance due to recent developments that include remarks towards African-Americans made by Ms. Glanville on her hit Bravo TV show 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.'
So what do you guys think? Was her comment racist or just stupid, or a combination of both?

2OH GOD NO: Brandi Glanville May Be Getting Her Own Show
Perhaps this won't be all that surprising given the supreme level of absolute shit that gets put on TV, but word on the street is that Brandi Glanville may be getting her own spinoff reality show centering around her dating life. She's about the film the pilot and if it's bought (let's be honest: Bravo will buy anything), then that's it. Ugh, everything's the worst.
From Radar Online:
"Brandi will be taping a pilot for Bravo and it's for her own spin-off show," a source close to the situation told Radar.
"She was kind of shocked when the idea was brought up, but now she's really excited about it. Putting your dating life on TV for the world to see is never easy, but Brandi's never backed down from a challenge."
According to the insider, both Brandi and Bravo aren't exactly sure where the what the show will end up looking like, but they're confident it will be reality TV gold.
"You never know with Brandi. So you can have an angle for a show but how it plays out may be a very different thing," the source said.
"She's ready to jump back into the dating scene and it will be interesting to see what kind of men can actually handle her!"
Well, that pretty much sounds like the worst show ever. Still, I'd expect this to be coming to your screens by September at latest. We need a new weekly dose of desperation.

Terrified motorists, caught up in the biggest pile-up ever seen in the South-East, have described hearing vehicles plough into one another - for ten minutes - in thick fog.
More than 100 vehicles were involved, with crashes in three different locations on the Sheppey Crossing - the bridge that links the Isle of Sheppey with mainland Kent. Fred and Sangeeta linked to our correspondent Derek Johnson.

Caption Diss: Move Over Robin, Miley Cyrus Backs Dat Azz Up Again
Tuesday, Nov 12, 2013 8:32AM
For Caption Diss, the good ol' folks at SOHH are back at it giving y'all a chance to capture the final word(s). The "Best We've Ever Read" headline gets to hold down that Cap Diss crown for a whole week. Who run it?
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
There's only one twerker in the world that gets the ultimate respect and her name happens to be Hannah Montana. LOL. You gotta give it up to Miley Cyrus. Not only has she taken twerking to a whole new level but now she's smoking weed during awards shows? What happened to Little Miss Sunshine? Good Girl Gone Bad? SMH. If y'all thought her backing that thang up on Robin Thicke was bad, she's gone up another level by showing her azz is for people of all sizes. What's really going on right here? Hhhhmmmmmm...............?
SMH @LUCIDMUSIC! You went IN on that Kendrick Lamar and Lil' Kim Cap Diss! I gotta applaud that! As much as I clown Lil' Kim on the low-low, that Cap Diss was brutal! You're so wrong for that one but you can't deny that's funny! Good stuff!
Aight doggies, y'all know the routine and how we get down up in here. Think 'em, diss 'em, ink 'em and submit 'em into the comments section by Wednesday, November 13. G'luck!

Issued at 1137 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 Updated for 06Z aviation forecast discussion. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday night) Issued at 1243 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 Excessive heat and humidity will continue through Tuesday. Daily heat index values will range toward 105, perhaps a couple degrees higher at their peak, and a couple degrees lower at their minimum, over the course of the next 48 hours. The Heat Advisory therefore looks good to continue through its set expiration time of 7 pm Tuesday evening. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, particularly in the heat of the afternoon, but believe Pops are low enough during this time frame, with the High pressure circulating nearly overhead, to make them silent Pops. Will monitor radar closely and change that, if/when needed. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 254 PM CDT Sun Aug 24 2014 The GFS and ECMWF ensemble mean solutions were not all that different today in the extended. However, the ECMWF mean did continue to show a slightly slower solution with the movement of a steadily ewd-moving mid level trof expected to eventually enter the central Plains, then approach the PAH forecast area. The operational GFS continues to be more progressive with the system than the ECMWF or the GEM. Nrn stream mid level shrtwv energy is expected to move through the Great Lakes late Wed. As a result, shower and tstm development will be primarily in the nrn third of the region Wed. The edge of a dome of high sfc pressure may enter the PAH forecast area from the ne early Thu, providing focus for shower and tstm development across a greater part of our region. The sfc frontal boundary should start moving back toward the ne early Fri as the mid level ridge builds back into the region, continuing a similar pattern of convection, with the most limited PoPs continuing to be west of the MS River. Sat may be dry at many locations as the region will be under general warm swrly flow aloft and srly low level flow, with no real focusing mechanism. Sunday looks pretty wet attm as the mid level trof, in the process of shearing out, should be nearby. It is still a question whether a sfc cold front will make it into our region by Day 7. As overall mid level heights fall during the extended period, temp trends are beginning to show a season-appropriate slight cool-down with time. No heat headlines are expected. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1137 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 Another quiet night on tap. MVFR fog may threaten the sites again tonight...as the temp/dewpoint spread could be less than in previous nights. Already seeing neighboring obs drop down into the MVFR category as of this writing. Could see more diurnal cu on Monday with bases in the 2500-3500 ft range, much like what was seen on Sunday. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

The swag bags have been claimed, the drunken dealmaking is done, and Park City returns to being a sleepy ski resort as the Sundance Film Festival ended over the weekend. As always, it was a whirlwind, and for anyone who may have doubted the health of the film industry, the number of films getting buzzed about, sold and picked up, should quell those concerns.
There was a lot of terrain to cover and in case you missed any of the reviews, interviews and news over the past week or so, here's where you can catch up. Below, a quick recap of the films we save (nearly 40 in all) plus who we had a minute to speak to between screenings. As always, we're zonked, but can't wait for next year either. Big shout out to Todd Gilchrist, James Rocchi, William Goss, Cory Everett, James Lichman and Simon Abrams who dug in deep and repped us proudly at the fest.
- Benh Zeitlin's feature-length debut "Beasts Of The Southern Wild" caused raves and waves. It won the best dramatic narrative prize to boot.
- Richard Gere delivered his best performance in years in the hotly buzzed "Arbitrage," Nicholas Jarecki's directorial debut centering on a man in the midst of a professional and personal meltdown.
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead and "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul earned raves for their alcoholism drama "Smashed."
- Starring John Hawkes, Helen Hunt, William H. Macy, the "The Surrogate," was met with high praise and some mixed reviews, including ours, but it sold to Fox Searchlight quickly nonetheless.
- Director Todd Louiso returned with "Hello I Must Be Going," a smart, sweet and lusty tale powered by a breakthrough performance by Melanie Lynskey.
- Julie Delpy and Chris Rock shined in the broad, but still vibrant "2 Days In New York."
- Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg stretched their acting muscles in the warm and heartbreaking comedy "Celeste And Jesse Forever."
- Spike Lee found his old school voice with the indie "Red Hook Summer," another installment in his Brooklyn Chronicles.
- Peter Jackson's highly publicized West Memphis Three documentary "West Of Memphis" arrived and under the guidance of director Amy Berg, pointed the finger even more strongly at the supposed true perpetrator of the crime.
- James Marsh's slow burn IRA thriller "Shadow Dancer" starring Andrea Riseborough and Clive Owen delivered the goods.
- Say goodbye to LCD Soundsystem with "Shut Up And Play The Hits" a winning concert doc/chronicle of the dismantling of James Murphy's famed NYC group.
- Starring Lizzie Caplan, Alison Brie and Mark Webber, "Save The Date," was an emotionally grounded rom-com.
- "Red Lights," the latest from "Buried" director Rodrigo Cortes stars Robert De Niro, Sigourney Weaver, Cillian Murphy and Elizabeth Olsen.
- Craig Zobel's "Compliance" started more than one conversation about the intent of a film that has the sexual abuse of a young woman as it's primary plot thrust.
- Mark Webber made an impressive outing for his second time behind the camera in "The End Of Love."
- Another divisive film that found favor with us was "Simon Killer," from the same producers who brought you "Martha Marcy May Marlene" last year.
- Director Joe Berlinger ("Paradise Lost") revisited Paul Simon's landmark album Graceland in the documentary "Under African Skies."
- Olivia Thirlby, Rosemarie DeWitt and John Krasinski find their idyllic L.A. lives unbalanced in Ry Russo-Young's "Nobody Walks."
- Horror anthology "V/H/S/" brings together five filmmakers for a found footage anthology featuring segments from Ti West, Joe Swanberg, Adam Wingard, Glenn McQuaid, David Bruckner and the collective Radio Silence.
- "Bubba Ho-Tep" helmer Don Coscarelli unveiled his latest weird and strange creation, "John Dies At The End," starring Paul Giamatti.
- "Keep The Lights On" delivers a sensuous, evocative and moving tale of two men in love.
- U.K. documentary "The Imposter" takes a true story about an American boy who was kidnapped, only to return to his family three years later.
- Canadian filmmakers James Swirsky and Lisanne Pajot scored a coup when Scott Rudin picked up the remake rights for their doc "Indie Game."
- Tim Heidecker put on his serious face for the surprising and somewhat divisive "The Comedian," a sober and compelling account of a hipster refusing to grow up.
- Speaking of, "Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" is manna for fans of the outrageous comic duo.
- Obscure '70s pop singer Rodriguez got the documentary treatment in the crowd-pleasing "Searching For Sugar Man."
- Ok, so technically this premiered at TIFF, but we just caught up with the sensational "The Raid" and yeah, it rocks.
- Starring Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass and Jake Johnson, "Safety Not Guaranteed" was the quirky time-travel romance film you didn't know you were missing.
- Katie Aselton's indie thriller "Black Rock" starring Aselton, Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth offers a refreshing genre piece with female leads.
- Josh Randor's "Liberal Arts," is the followup to his Sundance Audience Award winning "happythankyoumoreplease."
- Frank Langella, James Marsden and Liv Tyler starred in "Robot And Frank," a sci-fi/comedy/heist film.
- Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan, James Marsden and Adam Scott starred in the indie rom-com "Bachelorette."
- So Yong Kim's "For Ellen" starred Paul Dano and Jena Malone.
- "The Words" brought together Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons and Zoe Saladana for an "Inception"-like multi-narrative about an author who steals another writer's work and gains instant fame.
- Joel Edgerton and Teresa Palmer featured in the mystery thriller "Wish You Were Here"
- Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Vince Vaughn led Stephen Frears' Vegas-set comedy "Lay The Favorite."
- Quentin Dupieux's "Wrong," was yet another one of his odd and unique endeavors.
Here's who shared their time and thoughts on their films at Sundance with us:
- James Marsh and Andrea Riseborough paired up to talk "Shadow Dancer" while the director also chatted with us on his own to talk about his future projects and expand on his approach to the IRA thriller.
- Dennis Quaid and co-director Lee Sternthal talked to us about "The Words," as did Bradley Cooper and the other co-helmer Brian Klugman. Ben Barnes also met with us to talk about the film, as did Zoe Saldana.

- So Yong Kim shared with us her thoughts on "For Ellen."
- Mark Webber talked about working with his son, and making the microbudget "The End Of Love."

Hello everyone!
This is a post that asks everyone one question....what the hell is up with Kickboxing in the U.S.? What organizations are there that aren't sport specific (Tae Kwon Do, Karate, etc)? I mean, it's a very exciting sport, and I know that it isn't even close to having the steam that MMA has behind it right now, but there's got to be something going on.
I'm asking because, not only do I like the sport of Kickboxing (though I really love MMA), I'm looking to participate in at least one match of each kind after I graduate college. I can find an amateur MMA organization to fight for, there's one based out of San Antonio that a couple of people I know have fought for, but I don't have any clue about kickboxing. It seems, at least to me, that it's pretty hidden and out of sight here in Texas.
Thoughts everybody? I'd like to hear something, hopefully constructive.

The worst part of being a celebrity, undoubtedly, must be family reunions. All those cousins coming out of the woodwork, asking you to pass along their script or snag an autograph or even help Aunt Agatha buy that new hot tub that she desperately needs.
Then there are those happy few stars who don't have to face this problem. Because their cousins are famous, too.
In honor of Cousins Day – July 24, to be exact – here are several celebrity cousins who don't have to worry about being the only famous person at their family reunion.

Melissa McCarthy was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday, and she talked about some of the snags that the crew encountered working on her new film opening July 2, Tammy, in which Sarandon plays a grandmother.

Today in labor history, April 6, 1905: Teamsters in Chicago begin a sympathy strike in support of locked out Montgomery Ward & Co. workers who were on strike to protest the company's use of nonunion subcontractors. When other businesses rallied to the company's defense, the dispute spread quickly. Workers battled strikebreakers, police, and scabs for 105 days; 21 people died.
Today in labor history, January 20, 1909: A mile and a half offshore on Lake Michigan, fire breaks out in a temporary water crib used to access an intermediate point along a water intake tunnel under construction for the city of Chicago. The fire spread to the wooden dormitory that housed the tunnel workers. 46 workers survived the fire by jumping into the lake and climbing onto ice floes and 60 men died in the fire or were drowned trying to escape.
Today in labor history, October 9, 2003: 3,300 workers at seventeen private sanitation companies in Chicago end their nine-day strike after winning a 28% increase in wages and benefits over the next five years.
Today in labor history, October 8, 1871: The Great Chicago Fire begins, a fire that would burn through the early morning hours of October 10. The fire injured 30 of the city's 185 firefighters, claimed the lives of hundreds of people, left nearly a third of the city homeless, and destroyed almost 20,000 buildings.
Today in labor history, September 22, 1910: 17-year old garment worker Hannah Shapiro leads a spontaneous walkout at a Hart, Schaffner & Marx factory in Chicago. The strike quickly spread to other plants until it involved 40,000 garment workers across the city, protesting wages, hours, and working conditions.
Today in labor history, July 26, 1877: The nationwide railroad strike intensifies in Chicago, which is on the verge of a general strike. Workers battled police officers, federal troops, and state militia sent in to crush the strike in what would become known as the Battle of the Halsted Street Viaduct. At least 30 workers were killed and 100 wounded.
Today in labor history, May 30, 1937: In what would become known as the Memorial Day Massacre, police open fire on striking steelworkers, their families, and supporters who were marching to the Republic Steel plant in South Chicago to set up a picket line. The police killed ten people and pursued those fleeing the attack, wounding many more; no one was ever prosecuted.
Today in labor history, May 11, 1894: With their wages slashed and no reduction in rent at the company housing, Pullman Palace Car Company factory workers walk off the job. The workers sought the support of the American Railway Union, which gave notice in June that its members would no longer work trains that included Pullman cars. The strike and boycott crippled railway traffic nationwide and at its peak involved 250,000+ workers in 27 states.
Today in labor history, May 4, 1886: Workers rally in Chicago's Haymarket Square to protest the police shootings of striking workers outside Chicago's McCormick plant the previous day. As the police moved in to disperse the crowd, a bomb was thrown and in the ensuing chaos, an undetermined number of people were killed and injured. Despite any credible evidence linking them to the bombing, eight anarchists and labor activists were convicted of murder; four of them were executed.
Today in labor history, February 17, 1937: Workers demanding recognition of their union occupy the Fansteel Metallurgical Corp. plant in Chicago, IL. The company fires the workers and police using tear gas and baseball bats remove them from the plant. The NLRB rules for the workers and finds that the company's actions precipitated the strike. The case goes to the Supreme Court, which rules in 1939 that the company's property rights trump the employees' right to form a union, effectively making the sit-down strike illegal.

Well, Today has been a day. I just need to put some things down here so that I don't eat them.
1) Woke up to a snowday. My husband was not able to get home from work because we live up a big hill. He ended up sleeping in his firehouse. When I got up at 5 am and he was not home, I didn't worry. I figured he was stuck at work or at the firehouse. Well, I didn't call him and I should have. He called about 6 am and was mad that I did not seem to care where he was. I am in the dog house and I deserve it. Sometimes I am so oblivious.
2) Checked our bank account and it is totally empty with 6 days left until a pay day. This will prevent our going to the beer and cheese fest on Sun which will anger my husband even more.
3) We were just served with court papers on a credit card that we owe. We were paying a monthly payment on it with another company. Apparently they sold it and we did not respond to their calls because we didn't know who they were. The court papers are in m y husband's name, but this too will be my fault since I do the finances.
4) My husband insisted that this year we send out taxes all the way back to Long Island so that his friend can do them for us. We should have packaged them up in February. He has not communicated with this friend. It is now mid March. I even asked him if we could find a professional in our area. He said no. I have done our taxes with turbotax for 15 years. He thinks I am not doing a good job.
The Good: I am still clean so far today. We watched our new copy of "The Hobbit" as a family sans Kevin. I got in a 3 hr nap, though it was more like emotional hibernation.
AND I have fabulous friends on MDA who let me vent.
Nothing wrong with a little emotional hibernation now and again. Emotions are exhausting . I wish I had some sage thoughts for you, but I'm fresh out. This seems like the time of year for the worst financial crap.

Currently trying to figure out WTF to eat (for IBS-C).
I'm sorry Paula but in my opinion your husband seems to set you up. I mean he was the one who didn't come home. Since he knew what was happening HE should have called you to tell you about not being able to get home. If he cared about you he would have made sure you were not worried about him.
Also, just because he seems to abdicate his part/responsibility in the family's financial situation doesn't mean YOU are at fault or should take the blame. And since he said no about a local tax preparer/turbo tax, then IMO, he should be the one responsible for getting things to his friend.
I hate to see you hold yourself accountable/at fault for things that you are not solely responsible for.
It sounds like a frustrating day. Please do not beat yourself up. Perfection is a false front that no one can achieve. You know, deep down, that you are not solely responsible. It is my understanding a marriage is a partnership. One person does not solely handle the load. Of course.. what do I know besides you are my friend and its ok to vent and I am convinced naps have magical healing properties.

What am I doing? Depends on the day.
Naps do have magical healing properties I am sorry it was not a good day but you managed to get through w/out binging and chose a healthier outlet of venting. So vent anytime you need to..we are willing to listen!
You know all those things you have always wanted to do? You should go do them.

(Galloway, NJ) – Richard Stockton (18-6, 13-5 NJAC) finshed up the regular season with an impressive 79-64 wire-to-wire victory over Rowan University (17-8, 10-8 NJAC) on Wednesday night. It was Stockton's 10th consecutive win over the Profs and 11th out of the last 12 times meetings. The Ospreys also ended the 2012-13 regular season with a 12-1 home record.
Stockton broke out to a 16-4 lead sparked by two early three-pointers from Rich Suhr (Toms River/Toms River East). Josh Blamon (Cinnaminson/Cinnaminson) scored eight points during a 10-3 run that resulted in the biggest margin of the half at 29-13 before Rowan crept back within 41-32 at the break. Stockton shot 15-25 (60%), including 6-10 from behind the arc. Suhr and Blamon both scored 11 points and combined to shoot 6-9 from three-point range.
Early in the second stanza, the Profs closed the gap even further to 43-38 with 18:31 left but Stockton slowly pulled away, using a 13-4 run that ended with another three-pointer by Suhr for a 56-42 lead with 14:16 remaining. From there, the Ospreys led by at least 10 points for the rest of the game and completed the season sweep against Rowan with the 79-64 victory. Nnamdi Usuwa (Colonia/Colonia) led the Stockton offense with 11 second-half points.
Blamon led the Ospreys with 19 points while Usuwa added 17 markers and pulled down a game-high 12 boards.
