UPDATE: Check out my revisited Gluten Free Pancakes recipe!
Baseball is finally over. We lost in the semifinals yesterday to the Rockies. It was a good game; we fought to the end.
This last week, the tournament had virtually taken over our lives with 7 games straight, all during dinner time. This successfully disturbed the rhythm and routine in my household, so I must confess to some relief that the season has come to an end. To celebrate ... read more →

I love gluten free granola; sweet and crunchy, it always satisfies a good snack attack.
I also get a kick out of using the term "granola" to ridicule my Boulder brethren. However, when I'm feeling earthy, dousing myself in patchouli (which my husband dislikes to no end) I can easily apply the term to myself –even though I'm more of a yuppie than a hippie. I guess that would make me a yippie.
Alas, I digress. Several years ago when I ... read more →

My children love these pancakes. High in protein, we eat them for breakfast, lunch and every now and then, dinner.
Here's an easy recipe for gluten free pancakes. These pancakes are so simple that my younger son makes them from scratch. The high protein ingredients alone in this recipe beat any pancake mix.
My husband and I were talking about pancake mixes last month when we had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants with friends Gary and Nancy. Gary mentioned ... read more →

Wiltshire babies are the greatest gift of all
12:38pm Saturday 29th December 2012 in News By Anne Moore
Mother-of-three Natasha Bird had a special surprise when she gave birth to her second Christmas baby on December 25.
Miss Bird, from Manor Road Chippenham, gave birth to her second son Sonny at 3.15am on Christmas Day.
Sonny, who weighed 71b 1oz, will share his birthday with his older brother Louis, aged seven.
He was born after Miss Bird arrived at the Chippenham Community Hospital at 10am on Christmas Eve.
Her partner Nick Titcombe was there at the birth while her sister looked after Louis and his sister Mya, two.
They enjoyed Christmas Day with their new brother, who was home by 10am, in time for Miss Bird to see them unwrap their presents.
Miss Bird, 24, said she had still managed to put out Santa's mince pies and Rudolph's carrot with Louis before she left.
She also said Louis was looking forward to sharing his next birthday with his younger brother.
She said: "There will be two cakes next year – it's going to be busy but it couldn't be as hectic as this year.
"Louis wanted him to come on his birthday– he's been saying that for weeks. I thought he wouldn't be happy sharing his birthday but he's really pleased.
"It was quite emotional leaving the other two on Christmas Eve because I didn't know when I would be back. I would have stayed in hospital but I just wanted to get home for them."
Box Primary School teacher David Cook and his wife Alix weren't expecting their first child until December 28, but Alfred William Alexander arrived early, at 8.38am on Christmas Day.
He weighed in at 7lbs at the Royal United Hospital in Bath.
Mrs Cook, who teaches at Crockerton Primary School, said: "We are absolutely delighted. It was not the usual Christmas Day this year, but it was even more special.
"We have already said we may have to have a party for him in the summer as well."

I am an alien in many respects at this northern, lutheran, liberal arts college (there are three respects right there). I am from the south, and my ancestors fought on the losing side in the American Civil War. A generous description of my religious affiliation might be metho-bap-terian. Raised and baptized in the Presbyterian church, educated in the methodist church, and revived (and re-baptized - twice) in various Baptist churches. I have never studied "the liberal arts" though I think I might recognize one if I saw it.
My educational history is about as checkered as my religious past. Until high school, I was a product of the Florida education system, whose administrators thank God every day that Mississippi exists to take up the rear. During the civil rights boom times of the late sixties, my mother sent me (with my collaboration) to the high school academy at Bob Jones University. I met there Dr. Bob Jones III, who explained to me the concept of grace in terms my adolescent imagination could understand. I then proceeded to discover the law in the incarnation of the academy's minute and exacting rules. After a year, I left Bob Jones for the more liberal social and intellectual life at Riverside Military Academy (where I received my high school degree). At least at Riverside I only had to march when I broke the rules -- at Bob Jones, I also had to repent.
I drifted into college because, well ... because. I applied to only one school, Georgia Southern College in Statesboro, GA. Several mentors there convinced me that psychology was a great place to solve puzzles about human nature, and that I was a reasonably competent puzzler. My immersion in the "Jesus" movement (hippies on Jesus & endorphins) led me to seminary with a short stopover in Savannah Georgia as first, a youth minister and second, a steel fitter in a local shipyard. At Asbury Theological Seminary I began, inexplicably, to think about my religion. This led to my dropping out and laying brick for a while, and then enrolling in the Philosophy Masters program at the University of South Florida. While there, I decided that the puzzles I really liked were about how people think about each other, and that psychology was a better place to pursue those puzzles than language analytic philosophy (the only reasonable philosophy being sold at USF during the 1980s).
So, off to William and Mary to pursue a Master's degree in experimental psychology, then off to Princeton to do a PhD in Social Psychology. While at Princeton I did some summer work at Bell Labs looking at social psychological issues in computing. This early experience got me hooked on studying the social issues associated with technology (it was 1984, the year the Mac came out). I started a research program there about how our social stereotypes of gender influence computing, and how the way computing is done effects how we think about gender. This work led to a 2 year post-doc at Carnegie-Mellon, one of the temples of technology. While there, I saw the ad for a social psychologist at St. Olaf College.
Now, psychology is a notoriously secular discipline, constantly on the watch for bias to creep in from soft-headed humanist or religious types. This neurosis is fueled, I believe, by science-envy. If we have to prove we are scientific (and we have to, constantly) then let's toss off all the oddities of religion so we at least do not look suspect. Though my orthodoxy is mostly evident in the gap, I pined for a place where I could think about psychology and religion in the same mental breath. St. Olaf seemed to be (and is) that place.
I teach courses in Social Psychology, The Psychology of Good and Evil and Ethical Issues in Software Design (a required course in the CS program here). My research on social issues in computing and on moral reasoning have merged in my project on the moral reasoning of computer scientists.
In the Fall of 2007 I lead a group of students on Term in the Middle East, a rigorous semester of studying political science (in Istanbul), sociology (in Fez), history (in Cairo), and cross-cultural moral psychology (in all three places).
Now I am in my 21st year at St. Olaf and just returned from sabbatical at the Hochschule für Philosophy in Munich. I was there for several reasons, the first being to spend the year with my fiancée, Almut Furchert, a clinical psychologist who is finishing a second doctoral-level degree (this time in the philosophy of Kierkegaard) at the Hochschule. I also co-taught course on professional ethics with Father Funiok an internationally known expert in the field of media ethics.
Almut and I are now both back in Northfield, where Almut is a Fellow in the Kierkegaard Library and I am back at teaching and doing research. We were recently married during the first Sunday service at St. Olaf's Boe Chapel. It is a great joy to be back, to be thinking philosophy and psychology with my students, and to begin a journey together with Almut.

If you've been following Allen Iverson on Twitter this summer, you may be a bit confused. For one, there have been instances where he's talked in the third person ("Allen is having his celebrity classic in Virginia this year..."), lots of exclamation points, and tweets like this one, which disgrace the rebellious ethos that he's crafted so masterfully over his 15-year NBA career:
All of which is to say I have a deep suspicion that his Twitter profile is at least partially ghostwritten by one of his agents.
I refuse to believe that Allen Iverson talks with exclamation points. He's an icon of the hip-hop generation; emoting anything other than anger, laughter, or indifference is considered poor form. Clearly, someone else is pulling the strings. And perhaps that explains some of the false optimism that we've seen on his account this summer. Such as this post from August 19th:
My people just informed me that we are getting close to a deal. I asked them to call me the when its done. I am so ready to know!
That was more than two weeks ago, so when "Iverson" broke the news last night that he'd be meeting with Memphis owner Michael Heisley, I was understandably skeptical. But alas, it seems there might actually be some fire to go along with this smoke. ESPN's Mark Stein confirmed with Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley that he will be meeting Iverson later today in Hotlanta.
Yet Heisley cautioned that an agreement in principle with Iverson has not yet been reached, saying: "[The meeting] does not mean it's a done deal. He wants to meet and have some questions answered and we want to meet."
Monday's scheduled sitdown would be the first face-to-face contact between Iverson and Grizzlies officials since the process began, with Memphis negotiating to this point primarily with Leon Rose, Iverson's agent.
That Iverson's remained on the market this long certainly speaks to the growing cynicism around the league regarding his ability. Even when he was at his best, the logic goes, he still excelled at the expense of his teammates. Now that he's declining, what's the point of adding someone that'll detract from the development of teammates, especially after he proved in Detroit he won't accept a reduced role?
Well, if you're Memphis: tickets. Interest in the Grizzlies has been waning over the past two years, and in addition to forming a fearsome nightlife duo with recent Grizzlies addition Zach Randolph, Iverson would also be surefire way to pique interest among the local fanbase. If today's meeting goes well, even if Memphis represents the ultimate relegation for a once-proud superstar, expect to see some enthusiastic tweets in the future:
"Memphis here I come! Can't wait to play with OJ, and Rudy, and Marc Gasol! Michael Heisley is a Great owner and Memphis is a Great city!

Application Process
The application process for all programs takes place once a year in February and decisions are made in March for the following academic year. Application forms are available online. Selection criteria include grades, faculty recommendations, essay and interview. Space in the program is limited.
Headquartered in Costa Rica, the United Nations-mandated University for Peace was established in December 1980 as a Treaty Organization by the UN General Assembly. As determined in the Charter of the University, the mission of the University for Peace is: "to provide humanity with an international institution of higher education for peace with the aim of promoting among all human beings the spirit of understanding, tolerance and peaceful coexistence, to stimulate cooperation among peoples and to help lessen obstacles and threats to world peace and progress, in keeping with the noble aspirations proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations."
To ensure academic freedom, the University was established under its own Charter, approved by the General Assembly. UPEACE is not subject to UN regulations and is directed by its own Council of renowned personalities with expertise in peace and security matters. This has allowed the University to move rapidly and to innovate, focusing its new, rigorous academic program on the fundamental causes of conflict through a multidisciplinary, multicultural-oriented approach.
The wider mission of the University should be seen in the context of the worldwide peace and security objectives of the United Nations. The central importance of education, training and research in all their aspects to build the foundations of peace and progress and to reduce the prejudice and hatred on which violence, conflict and terrorism are based is increasingly recognized. The Charter of the University calls for UPEACE "to contribute to the great universal task of educating for peace by engaging in teaching, research, post-graduate training and dissemination of knowledge fundamental to the full development of the human person and societies through the interdisciplinary study of all matters related to peace".
The University for Peace has its headquarters in Costa Rica, a country distinguished by a long tradition of democracy, the abolition of the army since 1948, a Nobel Peace Laureate (H. E. Oscar Arias Sánchez, 1987), strong efforts on natural conservation, and friendly people.
The campus is located 30 kms southwest of San Jose, within a natural reserve composed of a secondary forest and the last remnant of primary forest (1.200 ha) in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Hence, this protected area is very rich in fauna. It shelters mammals such as monkeys and deer; reptiles; and over 300 species of birds as well as approximately 100 varieties of trees. The University's installations and protected area make up 303 ha.

NASHVILLE (AP) - Smaller colleges are stepping up their efforts to recruit in-state students to their campuses.
University of Tennessee-Chattanooga is becoming the college of choice for midstate high school students while Middle Tennessee State University is getting a closer look from high school students in the east and west parts of the state, The Nashville Ledger reports.
MTSU administrator Debra Sells said the school has nearly doubled its staff in an effort to recruit students from across the state.
Hillsboro High School student counselor Allie Bateman says UTC is starting to come up more in her conversations with students.
She says both schools have good programs.

The only reason anyone can be reading this post right now is the fact I will I have had my weight loss surgery. I have decided to keep it a secret from most people because I am not 100% certain it will happen until I actually wake up from the operation so until then I will just keep quiet.
My intention for doing my blog are still the same as previously. I want to chronicle my personal journey regarding an issue that has impacted my life so greatly but I also truly hope in my heart that I can perhaps reach someone else who walks in shoes similar to mine and have them know someone understands, really understands the mind battles, the physical discomforts and issues that go with being a morbidly obese person.
Lots has happened in the last year. Since I last posted my daughter, Lara, had whooping cough and was a very sick child and life became a blur of no sleep whilst I watched over her, cleaned up vomit and watched as she struggled for every breath. Thank goodness that passed after three months but by then I was in a vicious battle with my ex, I was financially destitute and struggling with the basics of survival of providing food and shelter for my children and I. A severely restrictive diet was just something I couldn't handle when the basics of my life were under such threat. I guess it wasn't the right time.
Then I continued to be sick. I didn't see the pattern at first – you know how you can become so tied up in your own wee world you lose the bigger picture? It turned out my infection hadn't been fixed and I was regularly falling ill (quite severely with associated heart issues as well) then I would go on antibiotics, get well for a couple of weeks and then the cycle would start all over again. Finally at the beginning of February my doctor and I agreed I needed to go back to my surgeon and that the mesh in my stomach was still infected and would need removing. She classed me as a high priority and I was given an appointment for in six weeks. As a friend in the US said "Does imminent death mean you only wait one month with our socialized healthcare?".
When I finally had my appointment with my surgeon he said the surgical mesh needed to be removed but there would be a high chance that I would re-herniate again so I really needed to have the gastric sleeve done at the same time. Did I hear correctly? The gastric sleeve done? It was true. I was going to have two operations at once and both in the public system so I didn't have to cover any costs. I was stunned. Not so excited as there was this real fear that I might wake up from the operation and find the weight loss surgery hadn't been done.
I ended up waiting seven long, long months. Getting sicker all the time. House bound, unable to do things with the kids. No money. Life was hard, it was miserable. But finally I got a date for surgery and as I write this I have had the surgery. I need to do a few posts retrospectively to catch up on some things that have happened and then we can move forward as I walk this new path that I am now on.

Great template!! I can't get this module to work http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/11177
Can you help?
Oops, also the contact form errors with 'Could not instantiate mail function.' The email works fine when a user registers, and on the forgotten password utility, but the tokens are always rejected.
Thanks, RCT
I'm having an issue with the template…
In IE 7 the layout system left+content+right doesn't appear right.
The content isn't alligned with the other two modules….
Can you help please?
Congratulations! a great job!
I have 2 questions: 1) I created a complex form, connected by "wrapper", I would inherit the css of the template. is it possible? 2) I changed the language in Italian as you described earlier for Claudia, but does not work … is always in English.
thanks Emanuele
I am thinking of buying this template..But
Can you please tell me how easy it will be to amend so that I have the coin slider much narrower & in-between the left & right columns. Or at least have a left column if thers not room for 2 columns.
Firstly I would like to congratulate you on a great template.
For some reason i cannot get the left+content+right layout to work.
If I place a module in left, a module in right and then add an article to the front page then the article always appears on the left then the two module to the right???
I have selected the left+content+right option in the template manager section.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
P.S I do not currently have a URL setup for the site.
I'm looking into this layout and I was wondering If it was possible to have a menu on the left side? I couldn't find an example within the demo version.
Thanks in advance
It's possible. You may use left+content+right or left+right+content layout or left+content and publish some menu in "left" position.
Hi nice template you have here. I'd like to buy it however i would like to know if you used the T3 framework from joomlart and if the megamenu can load any module then. Thanks.
I don't know what you mena exactly. I use T3 framework from Joomlart. Mega menu louds automatically.
When I change the SEO settings to "User friendly URLs" I lose the Phoenicis template on secondary pages (not homepage) with or without renaming the htaccess file.
It seems like a path issue. I do have the Joomla install in a subfolder.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hi, Try to clear private data in your web browser. If it will not work try to delete and create again menu positions.
Hi Marbol,
Some questions for you if you don't mind. I am looking for a cms template for our company and I am more familiar with Modx, but started looking into Joomla after I saw this Phoenicis template, which is exceptionally attractive. I spent last night learning some basics about Joomla, and have a few questions which if it turns out can be done, then your template will be purchased
1) Joomla seems to work on a module position basis. I need a template for a proper business site, so the front page, we want to do the following:
................... text box…......text box…..........text box…............
...............................full width text….......................................
.............................various footer modules….............................
can this be done with your template on the home page, and are full width frameless text pages possible with this Joomla template. This is a link to a homepage example on another template that is exactly what we would like to do, but with your template: http://csscollector.com/portfolio/maximus/index-6.html
2) We also need to put pricing charts/tables in the site, at the bottom of this page is a table that is a good example of what we need to do: http://themeforest.net/item/ultra-web-studio/full_screen_preview/99365
and here is another example:
are tables such as these possible – your template does not seem to include any table styles
3) we are assuming that we can put in the footer modules and side modules such things as a contact module (like the one in the bottom of the maximus template), a twitter feed module, a poll option, etc. Can we go to joomla.org and import these or any other "widgets" or does your design not allow for that?
4) last but not least. on each page, you have a search box (which is not needed) can we stick the social icons there instead? is that just a code tweak, or is that a module spot and we can put what we want into the module where the search box is? We looked at the source code and it appeared to be a separate div, but we are still getting the hang of Joomla, so your comments appreciated.
Thanks, again a lovely design, many classic corporate colors which is nice to see and the menu and layout options are awesome. Your support which appears to be excellent is another factor in our looking at your template.
HI Marbol,
Think I answered my own question #1 at least in part: I see from your Module Variations description that one option for text in a module is Class Suffix "_Clean". And by careful study of the module positions and looking at the source code it seems to us that the front page design we desire are doable.
To achieve the homepage layout we want, it appears we would define the homepage to have a slider, User 1, User 2, and User 3 Modules each at 33%, then the Top Module at 100% (taking up the space full width under Users 1 -3)and then Bottom Spotlight for our footer modules. Please confirm however.
A separate question that came out of this was looking at the code for the divs, the code looks varies the % width of a module as follows:
Each module use a % width in the div setup. Are we able to define the % width of a modcule via the control panel?
By the way, any updates on the theme coming in the near future – more typography, or plugins? You have a nice poll plugin in another of your themes we noticed, and a twitter feed plugin would also be great.
Thanks. Look forward to your other answers. The table question is particularly key for me.
sorry for my late answer. My english is not to good and I dont'n know what you mean exactly. If you are new in joomla you may install quickstart package (Phoenicis include quicstart). Quickstart is complete site like a demo site. You'll create your site based on demo content. Here youcan see how to install quickstart package.
Hi Marlbo,
Using Mega Menu in Joomla 1.5.21, if I enable System – Mootools Upgrade, I can no longer select drop down menus. The menu drops down but is not selectable (can't click the link). I tried installing it on a virgin copy of Joomla so it can't be anything I've installed.
For some reason I can not change Menu Type from the admin area. params.ini is writable but it does not update. If I edit the file and change to ja_menu=moo, my menus work but of course I no longer have the nice features of Mega Menu.
I need System – Mootools Upgrade enabled for Kunena Forum.
Thanks, TD
I have a test site at
Can you help me out with the fact that the fonts seem to be displaying funny.
The 'J' for juniors is getting cut off and the gap between 'to' and 'juniors' seems very small.
Any solution that you may have would be greatly appreciated.
You may change the fon family. It's easy. Genreate your new js font file with cufon generate (http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/). Upload your js font file to "fonts" directory (Ptah: yourSiteName/templates/phoenicis/libs/cufon/fonts/).

News: Tahiry Speaks On Emotional Joe Budden Break-Up Video
Thursday, Jan 5, 2012 4:50PM
Video vixen Tahiry Jose has come forward to speak on making viral headlines last month after an emotional video featuring her and ex-boyfriend Joe Budden airing out their past relationship woes hit the Internet.
Admitting they haven't linked again romantically, Tahiry claims she and Budden are still very close.
"Me and Joe, we're at that space where from time to time we fall in and out of our friendship. He didn't pop up this time. We're not at the space where we're disliking each other. We have conversations, which is what happened in that clip. We're able to sit today and just talk sometimes as two human beings who were together for a long time. Because he was in my life a long time, pretty much in that age range where you're growing up with somebody, we have conversations. We go times without speaking, where I disagree how he runs his life and he might disagree with mine. Then, there's times when we get back and it's like, 'How are you?' We always manage to, [no matter] whatever's happening, check up on each other. That day was pretty much having a conversation about relationships and what went wrong." (XXL Mag)
Tahiry also went on to discuss the video segment where she asks Budden to court her.
"That was pretty much clearing it up because...clearly, men and women are in two separate zip codes. We speak two different languages. I meant every word I said on that clip. It's pretty much me explaining to him why we got to where we got to today or two, three years ago when we broke up. It's explaining to men that it's important for them to do things for their woman. It doesn't matter if she's crazy independent...little things matter to keep a relationship alive. Showing that you care and not forgetting what was there. Him laughing and still not thinking about how he moved in the past was wrong. A lot of men go through that. They're like, 'I know you!' Well, the reason why you know me is you've done somethings in the past that you've seemed to have forgotten and this is why things fade. It was general conversation about what men tend to forget that women need." (XXL Mag)
The former lovebirds' "Longest Break-Up" video hit the Internet last month.
In this latest installment of Joe's ever-honest and beloved video clips, this couple (who seem as if they may make-up sooner than later) discusses courtship, delves into the ills of their past and bicker about what's to come. It's clear, however, that Mr. Mood Muzik wants to remain close to his ex-lady but struggles with building the romance any further. But beyond the issues that these two need to resolve, a lot of Vixens can relate to Tahiry's outcry. After being with Mr. Wrong, it always takes Mr. Nice Guy to show you exactly how a man is supposed to get down. Sadly, that love for Mr. Wrong never falters. Tahiry's point was to explain how much the little things -- opening doors, honesty, taking out the trash, respect, wining and dining at nice restaurants, etc -- are what all women deserve but some are usually not witnessing. We'll have to take her side on this one. (VIBE Vixen)
After ending their five-year relationship, Budden spoke on parting ways with Jose in early 2010.
"I don't have a tattoo of any females name on me, any females picture on me," Budden said in an interview. "No [I didn't hit her]. She got mushed, I mushed the sh*t out of her f*cking a**. And I think she was asking to get mushed. No [she didn't hit me first], because she was dead caught cheating and I was fresh off tour and I was like, 'What's up?' You're caught, you're busted. Evidence? You wanna hear some good sh*t? I really am uncomfortable talking about this sh*t, because I don't like talking about her, period...she was wildin' and I'm big on body language -- I came home and she was wildin', she drinks. She drinks every night -- she was drunk, she was wildin', we got in a big argument, I found out she was cheating after she went to sleep -- I did go to check her phone...That led to something else to something else -- where the evidence was laying on the bed next to her, clear as day. You are cheating, you are busted, it is over..." (Sirius Satellite Radio)

WEST CHESTER Ś The motivations of the three people charged with killing a Phoenixville man were debated Monday in opening statements in Chester County Court as the murder trial of a Phoenixville woman got under way.
As told by the prosecution, defendant Monique Robinson, 19, had any number of reasons for gathering together two men to go ōon a missionö to find someone to rob the night of the shooting of 23-year-old Selvin Memerto Lopez-Maurico.
ōIt was her idea,ö said Deputy District Attorney Peter Hobart. ōShe came to them and asked if they could go out on a missionö to get money to buy drugs. ōWhether it was for cheap thrills, or easy money, or just to act like a thug, she made the conscious decision to go out and rob someone that evening.ö
But as told by defense attorney Robert Donatoni of West Chester, the motivation of his client Robinson is less relevant than that of the three witnesses who are expected to testify against her Ś the shooter, an accomplice, and the shooterÆs girlfriend.
ōThey donÆt have the courage to go through a trial,ö Donatoni told the nine men and three women on the jury. ōThey have plea bargained their way out of coming out of prison in a box.ö
Saleem Williams and Stephan Reidler have pleaded guilty to lesser charges in exchange for their testimony. ōThey want to throw it on æthe geek,Æö Donatoni said, referring to the nickname the trio had for his client.
The one person whose motivation, however, was not disputed in opening statements was Lopez-Maurico. Hobart said that the victim, a Guatemalan native who was part of the growing Latino community in Phoenixville, had gotten off work at a WendyÆs restaurant in Royersford, packed his backpack with food for a late night meal, and hopped on a bus bound for the borough, where he lived with an uncle.
ōHe just wanted to get home,ö the prosecutor told the jury.
Robinson is facing charges of first, second, and third-degree murder for the September 2011 shooting of Lopez-Maurico in the 100 block of Prospect Street. She also is charged with robbery and criminal conspiracy, and fleeing or eluding prosecution. She was arrested three months after the shooting, having disappeared after learning that the police suspected her involvement in the case.
Williams, who had admitted firing the single shot that struck Lopez-Maurico in the abdomen and eventually led to his death, has pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and robbery charges and accepted a sentence of 40 to 80 years. He also pleaded guilty to attempting an escape from Chester County Prison with another accused murderer.
Reidler, a multiple convicted felon, pleaded guilty to third degree murder charges and was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in state prison.
Both are expected to testify either Tuesday or Wednesday in RobinsonÆs trial.
According to HobartÆs opening statement, Lopez-Maurico was on his way home from WendyÆs in the early morning hours of Sept. 14, 2011, when he was given $300 from a relative that was to be sent home to the family in Guatemala. He was sitting on the front stoop of a house on Prospect Street with his uncle, talking, when they were approached by three people Ś two men and a woman.
The trio grabbed Lopez-MauricoÆs backpack, while Williams held a handgun to the victimÆs uncleÆs forehead. They ran from the scene, but were followed by Lopez-Maurico, who struggled with Robinson over the backpack. Hobart said that at some point, Robinson looked at Williams ¢ whom she had known since she was 9 years old ¢ and said, ōShoot him! Shoot him!ö The shooting took place about 12:45 a.m.
Hobart said that Williams had gotten the gun from Robinson earlier on Sept. 13, 2011. He said she had shown it off at the apartment where Williams was staying with his girlfriend, Caitlin Schierenbeck, ReidlerÆs cousin. The trio had left her apartment around midnight, with Robinson carrying the weapon, Hobart said his evidence would show.
ōShe was involved not just a little bit, but up to her neck,ö he said, calling the case a ōclassic second degree murderö in which a person is guilty of being an accomplice in a felony where someone is killed.
In his opening, Donatoni took pains to discredit Williams, Reidler, and Schierenbeck, saying they had all lied when first approached by police about the shooting. Williams and Reidler had been identified from surveillance videos in the area surrounding the scene.
ōThey gave multiple, multiple lies,ö he said of their initial statements. ōNothing truthful was passing through their lips.ö It was not until they were offered plea bargains to testify, to escape the life sentence that is mandatory with first- or second-degree murder, did they implicate Robinson. ōSheÆs the outsider,ö he said. ōThe street urchin.ö
The case is expected to last through the week.
Before jury selection began, MacElreeÆs questions about the status of an offer from the prosecution of a proposed sentence in the case created the possibility that the trial would be abandoned and Robinson would plea guilty.
He said he wanted to insure that Robinson was making an informed decision she would not try to back out of at a future date. If convicted of first-degree or second-degree murder, MacElree noted, Robinson would face a mandatory life in prison. ōIn Pennsylvania, life means life,ö MacElree stated. ōThere is no parole. You sit there forever. You die in jail.ö
Hobart said that his last offer would be to allow Robinson to plead to third-degree murder and conspiracy to commit robbery in exchange for a sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison. He and Donatoni agreed that the deadline for that had passed.
Robinson told the judge that she was aware of the offer and had decided not to accept it, even though Donatoni said he made a ōstrong recommendationö in the case. When Donatoni asked whether Robinson could speak with her mother, MacElree cleared the courtroom to give her the opportunity to discuss her decision once more.
ōItÆs best that we take some time now so that the best decision for Miss Robinson can be made,ö the judge said.
About 20 minutes later, the courtroom reopened, RobinsonÆs extended family entered, and Donatoni announced that he was ready to begin the trial, his client having once again said she would take her case to the jury.

is mourning the loss of one of its longtime benefactors.
Fred Kirby II, a 1942 graduated of the school, died earlier this week, according to a message on the college website. He was 91.
"Our gratitude to Fred Kirby for a lifetime of service and generosity to the college is boundless," college President Daniel Weiss said. "He was a remarkable person in many ways. I will remember with special appreciation the years in which I had the privilege to work with him."
Kirby led his family's foundation for more than 40 years. It was responsible for -- among other things -- the Kirby House student residence, Allan P. Kirby Sports Center, and the recent renovation of Fisher Stadium.
According to his obituary, Kirby was a veteran of World War II, and played on Lafayette's undefeated football team. He lived in New Vernon, NJ. A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12 at the Grace Episcopal Church in Madison, NJ.

Why? They're Everywhere!
Millions of these birds inhabit the North American Continent.
In summer the long pointed bill is yellow. In winter their plummage is speckled with white and its bill is blackish.
Younger birds are a uniform brown with dark bills.
In 1890 Eugene Scheifflin turned 60 of these birds, imported from England, loose in New York City's Central Park. Forty more were released a year later.
All of this was an effort by Mr. Scheifflin to transplant all the birds mentioned by Shakespeare to the New World.
Males choose a nesting site and females choose a male.
Courtship behavior consist of the male perching near his nesting site crowing and waving his wings when a female flies close by.
If a female is near the males nest site, he may pick up leaves in his beak and go in and out of the nest cavity. You can tell when the two have paired when they begin to go through their activities together. Before pairing, these birds feed and fly as individuals.
These birds are mainly monogamous. Although the male may change mates between broods.
These birds are very aggressive at claiming their nesting sites, often displacing more desirable native cavity nesters such as Bluebirds and Purple Martins.
The male first cleans out any previous nesting materials and begins placing dried leaves, bark, moss or lichens in the cavity. When the female pairs with the male she cleans out the nest and rebuilds it primarily with grasses.
The nest is usually located 10 to 30 feet above ground.
The female lays 4 to 5 white, pale blue, or greenish eggs which are incubated by both the male and female during the day. At night, the female incubates the eggs.
The incubation period will last for 12 days.
The young will leave the nest 21 to 23 days after hatching. Both male and female feed the young. The young may be fed for 2 - 3 weeks after they've fledged. Pairs may
raise up to 3 broods ( 2 broods common) each season and will reuse nest.
This behavioral habit allows them to catch prey unavailable to other birds. This is called gaping and is also found in blackbirds.
They will eat insects, spiders, worms, fruit, and seeds. At bird feeders these birds will eat seed and suet. Bird feeding may have to be stopped when flocks of these birds arrive.
Otherwise you could go broke trying to keep them fed.
Bird watchers also need to be aware, these birds can be very aggressive at feeders and keep smaller birds from approaching.
When placing birdhouses, make sure the entrance hole is 1 1/2 inches or less in diameter, this size is too small for them to enter.
Starlings are considered a pest by farmers and city managers. Most of the focus on these birds is the impact they have on native bird species.
Estimated population of starlings - 200 million.

We really enjoy these Texas BBQ Chicken Quesadillas. They're so delicious and easy to make:
I served them with sour cream for dipping:
The last time I made these I made the Mexican Sour Cream Rice, but I didn't this time and SP was very upset. They go so well together I can't make one without the other. Next time I'll definitely make the rice as well.

Previously delayed from its initial release back in November of 2013, where it was preparing to release alongside the launch of the new generation consoles, Ubisoft has today announced (via Game Informer) that Watch Dogs has been again delayed, though this time only for the Wii U version.
"We made the difficult decision to further delay the release of Watch Dogs on Wii U to focus the team's resources where they could have the broadest possible benefit for both our customers and Ubisoft," CEO Yves Guillemot said during Ubisoft's financial call.
Ubisoft's conference call also revealed that other platforms should be seeing a release sometime between April and June, during Ubisoft's Q1 2014 - 2015. Sadly no more was said on the title, but hopefully we'll start to see more gameplay showing off the extra time spent on developing the title.
Buy now from Green Man Gaming for only GBP£44.99 (USD$74.95 on Steam)!

Dept of Defense Directive (DoD) 8570
Department of Defense Formally Approves EC-Council's CEH Certification
to help defend US Interests.
The United States of America Department of Defense issued Directive 8570 in 2004 to mandate baseline certifications for all Information Assurance "IA" positions. In February of 2010, this directive was enhanced to include the
Certified Ethical Hacker
across the
Computer Network Defense

With over 30,000 security professionals who have already proven their skills and knowledge to meet our challenging standards, C|EH is unique in the field of information security certifications because it not only tests a candidate's knowledge but also the candidate's ability to apply that acquired knowledge into practice to secure real assets.
Certified Ethical Hacker is the globally recognized standard for
ethical hacking
certifications. Certified Ethical Hacker offers the most comprehensive "Hacking tool kit" consisting of exploits, viruses and trial versions of the industry's most widely accepted anti-hacking tools for an encyclopedic study of the cumulative world of hacking technologies since CEH's inception in 2004.
CEH is "Part one" of the two part requirement on the way to becoming a Licensed Penetration Tester; a designation sought after by IT Security professionals who wish to show the industry that they have the skills necessary to conduct a professional

I like watching the night sky since I was a child. At that time,there were not so many tall buildings and neon lights,and air pollution was little too. So the night sky was beautiful and charming. I like watching the moon. It is so clear,though it not so scorching hot as the sun. The grey sheer of the moonlight can also illuminate darkness,destroy darkness and give people with hope,strength and the endless reverie,even though it not so bright as the sun. Stars are twinkling in the sky. They do not speak,but I know they can read my mind.
Thank you!=)

There is no change at the top as Northwestern remains the #1 team. They got 9 of the 10 first place votes. The Trojans are off to a 4-0 start after a 42-35 win over the previous #1 team in South Carolina Byrnes. Both teams were nationally rated so a big win for the Trojans and they also move to #1 in the state of South Carolina in 4A.
The #2 team in the FFN Top 10 is still Mallard Creek. The Mavericks are also 4-0 after thumbing Charlotte Catholic 52-7 at Oddo Field on the campus of Catholic. After 2 tough games to start the season, the Mavericks have flexed their muscles as their average margin of victory is now 31 points.

They are coming off another impressive win this past Friday when they beat previously unbeaten Chase 48-9. They continue conference play this Friday when they host county rival Kings Mountain.
Charlotte Christian is up a spot to #5. The Knights were off this past Friday, but return to action this week as they travel to Monroe to take on the 3-1 Redhawks. A stern test for Coach Jason Estep's team.
The biggest mover in this week's poll is Davidson Day. The Patriots are up 4 spots to #6.
For the first time ever, West Meck is in the FFN Top 10. The Hawks are 4-0 and come in at #7 in this week's poll. They beat Independence this past Friday 40-33.
Welcome back goes to the Richmond Senior Raiders as they are #8 in the Top 10. They are 4-0 and get back into the poll for the first time since week 14 of last season. Friday, they host Butler in a huge non conference match up.
In spite of Independence's loss to West Meck last Friday, the Patriots are in at #9. They will get another stern test this Friday when they are at 3-0 Hough.
Rounding out the top 10 is York. The Cougars are off to a 4-0 start and get back into the Top 10 for the first time since week 9 of last year.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced Monday she will run for governor next year, but will instead seek re-election in her current seat.
Madigan said she considered the decision because she believes the state is in need of "effective management" but she likes her current position. The fact her father is House Speaker, Michael Madigan, also factored into her decision; Madigan said Illinois would not be properly served if the governor and speaker came from the same family.
Madigan's announcement leaves Governor Pat Quinn and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley in the race for the Democratic primary.

Increasing your ability to spend grows our local economy and generates state tax revenues. The way you do that is by lowering the tax burden for each and every Tennessean. In the State House, I will make these my priorities:
The tradition of Tennesseans being proud of their work at the end of the day is as strong today as it was 100 years ago. Our people and our work ethic have always made Tennessee an attractive market for job creators. As your State Representative, I will make sure we promote the quality of our hard work and produce sustainable results that provide quality jobs.
As a product of Nashville's public schools and former teacher at Glencliff and Overton High schools, I know the schools in our community very well. Building a better future for Tennessee starts in the classroom and I will fight to guarantee every child in District 53 receives an excellent education.
Let's make our schools, colleges and universities the centers of our communities and institutions in which we take pride.
One the greatest assets of the 53rd District is its people. From our youth to our hard-working families to our seniors, the safety and security of our personal residences and our neighborhoods are important to us. As a resident of this fine community, I will fight to protect our people and our property.
As a Nashvillian and a new father I can fully understand the difficulties of living within a modest budget. Much like the responsibility I have to my family to make a financial plan and limit our spending to reach our goals, it is the duty of the State Legislature to be an excellent steward of your hard-earned money. My legislative agenda would include:
It's important that state legislators always understand the difficulties people of our state face in order to reduce the burden on the individual taxpayers. I am against a state income tax, and I will work diligently to identify ways to reduce the tax burdens on all Tennesseans.

Berenson, professor and director for the Center of Interdisciplinary Research in Women's Health, has conducted research on why adolescent girls who begin vaccinations for Human Papillomavirus do not complete the series of three shots. Berenson said that the vaccine is 96 to 100 percent effective if all three doses are given, even for those who are already sexually active. "It is recommended for anyone nine to twenty-six years of age, regardless of sexual activity," she said. "Why they initiate and don't complete isn't well understood yet."

Fall Ride
I have been getting requests to put together a fall ride on a portion of the Almanzo course, so...here we go. I have decided to go with November 16th. It is a Sunday and it is coming up quick. I figured we could head out early (8am) for a 50 mile out and back to St. Charles. (I suppose if there is interest, we could do a no-drop century, but we'll see.) I will be leaving from Dunn Bros. North. If your interested let me know here or send me an e-mail. Sorry for the short notice, but hey, it's a ride isn't it?

Fabio Novembre once more shows his obsession for the female body. Yet there is a
male version on its way, called Him. Her is made from polyethylene, available in
black and white and suitable for in- and outdoors.
But this is also another project that accents on the trend for a dissipating border between in and out - a number of interesting furniture collections that are equally comfortable and elegant to serve us both - at the veranda and in our living rooms. It was last year's B & B Cansta collection by Urquiola that seems to have started it, although Urquiola made aslo the Maia collection, designed exclusively for Kettal.
Another new product suitable for both in- and outdoors:
This multifunctional stool SOS by Josh Owenis made from polyethylene, available in black, white, blue, light brown and orange. The two elements attached to the seat can be used as cup-holders, handles or hooks. Turned upside-down it becomes a fun and unusual vase or container.

"What's your name?"
"Glenda Blackmon."
This is the second year Glenda Blackmon has gone to the Ripley House Neighbor Tax Center to get her tax return filed.
"Would you like to have it direct deposit?"
"No ma'am, I would not."
Blackmon makes less than $30-thousand dollars a year, which qualifies her to receive free tax help. Families with incomes of less than $50-thousand can also get help. Blackmon says she used to pay to have her taxes done, so now she's grateful for the free help.
"I think they're doing a really good job. People who can't afford it, you know, to pay someone to do their taxes. It's a good help. It really is."
Allison Townsend is the assistant director of Neighborhood Tax Centers. This is the fourth year they've offered free tax help to low income families. Townsend says they're starting off by opening a few centers with just one staff member each, but that number will increase in the coming weeks.
"We opened during this week so that we can have a slower week, and make sure all the glitches are out and everything is working fine. We don't expect a full house the first week, but this room will be jammed pack full with 30-40 people waiting to have their tax returns starting next week."
They ran into at least one glitch on this day when the printer stopped working. Clients waited patiently while the problem was being worked on. Townsend says many of them are just anxious to get their money back. And although there are income requirements, Townsend says her agency will make exceptions. She gave me an example.
"In 2011, a family earned more than our income criteria but this year, one of them might have lost their job. They're unemployed, so they can't afford to pay for someone to do their return, charging $200- 300 dollars to have their returns."
There will eventually be 16 centers available for free tax help. But even with the printer problems and only one staff member working, Glenda Blackmon wasn't about to wait another day to get her taxes filed. She believes she's getting around $700 dollars back and she wants her refund as soon as possible.
