Many Americans remain unemployed and many who do work are "working more than ever just to get by -- let alone to get ahead."
Before Obama's speech, we were given a preview about what he would probably discuss to move the country forward. I experienced misgivings, but they were not based on his lack of ability, his intellect or his commitment to his vision. I questioned what he would do differently to ensure that he would accomplish most of what he aspires to do before leaving office. So far, nearly every piece of his proposed legislation has been blocked with dogged opposition.
He answered my question when he said he would advance his agenda to bridge the wealth divide even if he is forced to sign executive orders. I gave him a thumbs up. He also said: "Wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that's what I'm going to do."
To me, he is not being a dictator. Effective leaders know that there comes a point when they cannot continue to allow naysayers to hinder progress that would benefit the many. Obama believes his proposals would "speed up growth, strengthen the middle class and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class." His plan covers issues that concern most Americans. Therefore, those in Congress who do not want to get on board with it should get out the way.
Obama is weary -- as are many Americans -- of the political mess and filibusters. In his speech, he mentioned the 16-day government shutdown. We remember how it disrupted the lives of many Americans, hindered business owners and took an estimated $24 billion out of the economy.
The president welcomes ideas from others, as leaders should. However, he aspires to the belief that nobody wins until we all do.
As I watched those in Congress before Obama took the podium, I could see how easy it would be for them to be removed from the struggles that some of their constituents face.
However, both parties must remember that poverty, job losses, foreclosures, homelessness and financial setbacks cross all party lines. Some of the people affected by these misfortunes are the ones they vowed to serve and who voted them into office.
President Obama asserted strong leadership on Tuesday that he needs to continue, so that this year can be one of action. And, if he must pick up the pen, I suggest he keep his pen holder full.

Hi dudes and dudettes! I am back with another set of photos of a new artwork I just did because I woke up for some reason at 4:30 in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep. It's a different medium than what I've posted in the last few threads... assortedly coloured ballpoint pens. I hope the resemblance is decent enough that you would have known who it is without the title of the thread. I think the cheekbones are a little heavy but that's pen for ye, irreversible and god-awful if you use white out.
The reason I decided to draw Miss Carmouche is that she seems like an awesome representative for women's MMA, with her positive personality (Did you see her smiling after she lost? What a rare sight.), and her awesomely entertaining performance against Ronda Rousey. I am also very pleased that there is now an openly gay fighter in the UFC, particularly since she is a chick and it was great to hear about her experiences in the army as I was in a closeted relationship for 6 years (I was out, she wasn't) and get where she is coming from to a certain extent. Life eh? Now I am in a happy relationship with a dude but you know, you never forget what having to hide a part of yourself feels like. Hopefully with Liz Carmouche being in the UFC more fighters will have the courage to come out.
Anyway, let me know what you think:
This one is just the linework so I wouldn't fuck it up too badly. I layer the source image over the paper and flick it back and forth while drawing in the basics so I get the positions as quickly and easily as possible.
I find that with multi coloured pen drawings it is best to work from the lightest colour to the darkest. That way if anything is off slightly you can enhance the position with a darker colour.
I think at this stage I added some aqua/green pen. Gradually darkening the image until it makes sense.
Time for black! It actually starts to look like her here. That's one of the most fun parts of making artwork, when it starts looking like what you want it to.
Hair.... Long hair can be fiddly. Hair can be fiddly. Just thought I'd make the highlights red because red is bright.
Bare bones background, as usual. At this point I have used all of my pens in roughly this order: orange, green, red, black, purple and blue.
Couldn't have done it without the hard work of the photographer.
Anyway, that's about it. Cheerio. :)

Reggae Boyz the target on historic day
— Dempsey
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Footballer Clint Dempsey was a solemn picture as he addressed reporters at a press conference here yesterday.
And his pain was not a lingering sting from the USA's defeat to Jamaica last Friday in the island capital. That is not to suggest that the hurt of that loss has subsided.
The USA midfielder/forward's agony was triggered as he reflected on the elaborate terrorist plot that saw hijacked passenger planes used as missiles to simultaneously attack iconic American landmarks, including the World Trade Centre in New York City. The death toll in New York alone was more than 3,000.
Dempsey, who is expected to figure in coach Juergen Kilnsmann's side for tonight's World Cup qualifier against Jamaica's Reggae Boyz at Columbus Crew Stadium, said on a day — September 11 — when the nation commemorates the disaster, his players will be using it as inspiration to face an enemy of another sort.
"It's something that affected all of us, and during that time we drew strengths from each other as a people and a nation... I watched in disbelief as it all unfolded on television and we had to keep telling ourselves that it all happened for a reason as we would all go crazy," said the Tottenham Hotspurs player.
"We will be using that experience as motivation as we play Jamaica, but we are aware that they are a good team and fought hard and deserved their win," Dempsey said as he spoke at a press conference at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel.
Dempsey, who scored in less than a minute after the first whistle in the shock 2-1 defeat to Jamaica in Kingston on Friday, urged his countrymen and teammates to be strong on a day of such national importance and should use the occasion to strike back at Jamaica in a game on which much hinges.
Security at the stadium, and its precincts, is expected to be at frenzied levels.
Dempsey, however, did not miss the opportunity to launch an attack on the quality of the pitch at Jamaica's premier venue, the National Stadium.
"We all played on the same field, but I'm sure they would want to play on a better field as well because when it's bumpy the ball is bouncing, it's going all over and the fans want to see better football as well," said Dempsey, who watched his goal cancelled by Rodolph Austin (23rd minute) and Luton Shelton (62nd).
"And while the Jamaicans played well, our (Americans) quality would show more on a better quality pitch and we are looking forward to show what we can do," he noted.
In tonight's match-up slated for a 8:00 pm (7:00 pm Jamaica) kick-off and in front of a sold out Columbus Crew Stadium, Dempsey said "there is no desperation" in the camp and "we are just excited about the challenge".
"We feel like we want to do something special... everybody is hungry and we are going out there to give it our all," he said.
While supporting coach Klinsmann's strong desire for a revenge win against Theodore Whitmore's party crashers, Dempsey suggested anything but a defeat could still be viewed positively.
"You have to be thinking maximum points, but when you get any point at all it's a positive and will help you going forward. But what we will be doing is concentrating on our game, trying to be positive and be the best that we can do," he ended.

Hi there, fellow fans. I have the honour of imagining myself as Gene Smith come draft time, and submit pick no. 49 in the Behind The Steel Curtain Community Mock Draft. I'm solliciting your input since, a few days from now, perhaps this weekend, I'll be on the clock.
At the time of this post, the BTSC Mock Draft is found at the following: http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2011/4/15/2113628/btsc-2011-community-mock-draft-pick-no-44-detroit-lions-select-bruce
I did not make pick no. 16, Brooks Reed, DE Arizona. As you can see here, it was not without controversy, but then again, with your 2009 1st rounder, neither was Gene:
My son, who's eight, picked the Jaguars as his NFL team when I gave him the choice last year. His soccer team was the Jaguars, he loved the colours and Maurice-Jones-Drew, who's almost his height (joke). Anyway, he now wears proudly his jersey.
Your input as to who to pick five picks from now would be welcome! I have perused your Jags Draft Interest Chart.
If available, I was thinking Mallett, Dowling, Moore, or even, to be truly Genesque, Ricky Stanzi. Any words of wisdom?
Much obliged.

Hold on to your pants.
I was looking at Seattle's remaining schedule and that turned into looking at other teams' schedules and here I am telling you about everyone's schedules. The following will hopefully be a review of the Hawks' playoff-race competition and their respective schedules. Actually, pretty much just the schedules.
It's already Week 11 and our Seattle Seahawks are good! Football Outsiders has them at #3 through 10 weeks of DVOA data with 33.1% (Seattle has 8.3 estimated wins! They only have 6 real wins!). The last time the Hawks were in this DVOA neighborhood was 2005 when they finished the year with 28.4%.
(I really like Football Outsiders' DVOA metric, and while it's not perfect, it's damn good. Be warned, I'm going to be putting a lot of DVOA ranks in parentheses. If you don't know what DVOA is, here.)
It's too bad there's another team in the division that also isn't shitty at football. Those damn 49ers. Most of you know that they recently used magic to tie the Rams. Well, because of that, they sit ahead of us at 6-2-1 with an important head-to-head matchup in the not-too-distant future. I'm going to focus on the wild-card race down below, but who's to say Seattle can't win the division? All they need to do is win one more game than the 49ers. To the schedules!
Seattle's schedule (8th toughest future schedule): @Miami (20th best team by DVOA), @Chicago (5), vs. Arizona (24), @Buffalo (23), vs. San Francisco (6), vs. St. Louis (17)
San Francisco's schedule (5th toughest): vs. Chicago (5), @New Orleans (16), @St. Louis (17), vs. Miami (20), @New England (2), @Seattle (3), vs. Arizona (24)
I don't know about you, but I feel good about that schedule, especially compared to what the Niners are facing. Besides, the 8th toughest future schedule should be no problem for a team that crusaded through the 6th toughest past schedule! Out of the games left, Seattle has four very winnable games left and two sorta winnable games. I'm not saying the team will finish the second half on an 8-0 tear. I'm saying they have the ability to be competitive in every game. For the sake of the next couple sentences, I'll say they finish 4-2. For the Hawks to win the division at 10-6, San Francisco would have to finish 3-4. That doesn't seem especially likely. Still, it's something to hope for. The 49ers play three very good football teams and the Saints, who may well be a very good football team themselves; losing those (also: any) four games would do the trick. Losing three of those four games and tying the Rams would work too. I'd prefer the latter.
Now to get to my reason for doing this: the wild-card competition. While the division title is within reach, I find it a lot more plausible that the Seahawks end up going to the playoffs via a wild-card berth. The 5th seed is fairly close to locked up already by Chicago/Green Bay, barring serious bad luck. That leaves one spot up for grabs. I see the wild-card competition for the final spot as follows, in order of scariness, with their DVOA ranks: New Orleans (16), surprise team!!!, Dallas (10), Tampa Bay (13), Minnesota (15), and Detroit (14). The chances of making the playoffs for 3-6 teams is about 2%, so I'm not going to focus on any of those teams. Arizona is lolz-inducing, so I won't be looking at them either.
The wild-card competition and their schedules
The team I was most concerned about before Week 10 was Detroit, because they beat us and that's bad because head-to-head record. Some guy from some place from some time once pondered (!!!) the question of whether it is better to be loved or feared. The Lions didn't want to be feared anymore so they lost. Good for them. I'll throw 'em some love. They're now 4-5 and have a brutal schedule coming up - 4th toughest by DVOA! Their remaining opponents have a combined winning percentage of .714. I think they're as good as done now.
I'm now scared of other teams, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-4) and the New Orleans Saints (4-5). You know how people sometimes illegitimately bitch about the Seahawks manufacturing crowd noise? Well the Bucs fire fucking cannons off when they score. Cannons, you guys. Talk about unfair home-field advantage! And the Saints have Drew Brees, which is unfair in and of itself.
Tampa Bay's schedule (12th toughest): @Carolina (19), vs. Atlanta (11), @Denver (1), vs. Philadelphia (26), @New Orleans (16), vs. St. Louis (17), @Atlanta (11)
Tampa's schedule looks conducive to a 9-7 or 8-8 finish. The games at New Orleans, Denver, and Atlanta are going to be tough as hell for them and the other four games aren't exactly easy wins, possibly with the exception of those reeling Eagles. The good news? They have a 2-4 conference record right now.
New Orleans' schedule (11th toughest): @Oakland (28), vs. San Francisco (6), @Atlanta (11), @Giants (9), Tampa Bay (13), @Dallas (10), Carolina (19)
New Orleans is the team that scares me the most. Why? Drew Brees. Duh. They have a 3-3 conference record that stands to be improved upon if they finish 9-7 or 10-6. Because of that, in the case that Seattle winds up tied with New Orleans at the end of the year, Seattle will be starting the offseason early. Luckily for us, they have a brutal schedule.
I hate the Dallas Cowboys. Seattle beat them and they're 4-5 so it's all good right? Wrong. A strong finish appears in store, sadly. A strong finish would open the door for my mild-surprise team to be a wild-card contender (building suspense!). That team is...the New York Giants (6-4). Surprise! Or maybe not! Maybe you're really smart and you saw that coming!
Dallas' schedule (8th easiest): vs. Cleveland (28), vs. Washington (21), vs. Phiiladelphia (26), @Cincinnati (18), vs. Pittsburgh (12), vs. New Orleans (16), @Washington (21)
Dallas has - and, uh, this is hard for me to say because I hate them - played damn good this year and their record doesn't reflect their ability. 3 of their 5 losses have come on the road against Seattle (yeah bitches), Baltimore, and Atlanta. The other two losses were against the Giants (who they beat on the road) and Chicago (who is good). They've won the games they should have and lost games they should have, according to DVOA; Baltimore is 12th in DVOA, but that game was on the road.
Giants' schedule (9th toughest): vs. Green Bay (4), @Washington (21), vs. New Orleans (16), @Atlanta (11), @Baltimore (8), vs. Philadelphia (26)
The Giants have a tough remaining schedule and have looked shitty lately, with their latest game being a 31-13 loss to the Bengals. Dallas might overtake them and that would leave the Giants fighting for that final wild-card spot. They have a 5-2 conference record, and will likely have that tie-breaker over Seattle when it's all said and done. Hopefully the Cowboys or Giants implode in the near future. Dallas surging and New York treading water is not a fun scenario.
On to the NFC North, and the possibility of catching Green Bay. Seattle is not catching Green Bay. Now that I've touched on that, let's look at the Minnesota Vikings (6-4) and Detroit Lions (4-5), who both have gauntlet runs left.
Minnesota's schedule (The toughest!!!): @Chicago (5), @Green Bay (4), vs. Chicago (5), @St. Louis (21), @Houston (8), vs. Green Bay (4)
Yikes. After seeing that, I'm tempted to move them behind Detroit in my scared-of rankings. The Vikings may not win another game this season.
Detroit's schedule (4th toughest): vs. Green Bay (4), vs. Houston (7), vs. Indianapolis (27), @Green Bay (4), @Arizona (24), vs. Atlanta (11), vs. Chicago (5)
That's rough, but not as bad as Minnesota's suicide run. It looks like there could be a few wins in there, but the team is already 4-5. It helps them that they have 5 home games left. It doesn't help that 4 of those teams are in the top 10 by DVOA. Detroit needs to win most of their remaining games to pose a threat, and that likely isn't happening.
Who to root for in the relevant Week 11 matchups
Arizona at Atlanta - This is not as simple as it looks, but Arizona's hopes might as well be destroyed now.
Cleveland at Dallas - Shiiiiiit
Green Bay at Detroit - Huh. This one is interesting. I'm going to go with Detroit because their future schedule is tough enough such that a win here shouldn't help them too much; a win here would also give Seattle temporary control of the 5th seed. Dream big!
Tampa Bay at Carolina - On the off chance that Carolina winds up 10-6, Tampa Bay will be the correct choice in hindsight.
New Orleans at Oakland - At least it's a road game. I guess.
Chicago at San Francisco - The division! Dream big, people!
Okay, that's it.

BLUEFIELD, W. Va. —
Police in West Virginia say a man claiming to be a "warlock" used promises of magical spells to lure children into committing sexual acts with him.
The Bluefield Daily Telegraph reports James "Jim" Irvin, 57, of Bluefield, was arraigned Monday on five counts of sexual assault and 10 counts of sexual abuse involving juveniles. The charges stem from alleged incidents involving children aged 3, 9 and 13 at the time.
An investigation which began in early April revealed that Irwin was practicing paganism and wicca, a more modern religion of witchcraft. According to K.L. Adams, a detective with the Bluefield Police Department, Irwin allegedly used his religion to befriend the children and ultimately sexually abuse them.
Adams said Irvin allegedly told two of the children — who were living with him at the time — that he would perform magical acts on their mother, who was ill, if they would participate in the sexual acts. He said Irvin's son was the children's stepfather. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from Child Protect of Mercer County, a children's advocacy center which conducted forensic interviews with two of the alleged victims in February 2013. Adams said a report from Child Protect showed the abuse occurred in Bluefield in January 2007. At the time, the alleged victims were ages 3 and 9.
An interview with one of the girls alleged that the children's mother, who has not been charged and is cooperating with police in the investigation, believed Irvin was a "magical warlock" as part of his practicing wiccan religion. The report alleged the mother told the girl she had to go upstairs and do something with Irvin involving magic to keep her well.
The report also said that, according to the children's mother, Irvin believed in magic and claimed the "sex tantric magic" was the most powerful of all. However, the woman said Irvin alleged this type of magic would not work unless the acts were performed on a virgin.
During a hearing this week, Mercer County Magistrate Susan Honaker told Irvin that, if convicted, he would face a sentence of 15 to 35 years in prison on each sexual assault charge and five to 25 years in prison on each sexual abuse charge.

Vols should buy out Oklahoma
It's time to be real.
Forget pride. Forget the cost. Forget a fun road trip.
Tennessee needs to buy out of next season's Oklahoma game.
Sure, it stings a fan base's pride to buy out of any game. That was readily evident when fans were in an uproar after the Vols bought out of the North Carolina game in 2010 for $750,000. It proved to be unwise as the Tar Heels struggled amid allegations of NCAA violations that led to player suspensions. UNC was certainly beatable, finishing the season 3-9.
There's less doubt in this Oklahoma scenario. It looks way worse than North Carolina ever could have been. Oklahoma pounded Alabama 45-31 in the Sugar Bowl. That's the same Alabama team that beat the Vols 45-10 in 2013.
The Sooners won't field the same team that hammered the Crimson Tide. There are some key losses. However, Oklahoma will field a much more talented roster than Tennessee, led by sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight, who showed his star power against Bama last week.
UT has every reason to believe there are brighter days ahead. Chances are it will still be pretty dark next season. The Vols have to rebuild their defensive and offensive lines, have questions at running back, have yet to find a solid quarterback and have a secondary that was shaky in 2013. So is this the time to pack up the covered wagon and roll off to Norman?
Not buying out of the Oklahoma game is unfair to Butch Jones. He just finished 5-7 in his first season at UT. Another 5-7 season and Jones will feel the heat. Would that unfair given what Jones inherited? Absolutely. Does that matter in big-time college athletics. Nope.
Another 5-7 season and no bowl game would put added pressure on Jones in 2015. There's no doubt that the Vols could be better given Jones' improved discipline. However, the schedule isn't doing him any favors.
Jones and the Vols start with Utah State and Arkansas State. Those teams were 9-5 and 8-5, respectively. They aren't pushovers. The Vols might be favored but UT can't just show up and expect to win.
Then, the Oklahoma game is scheduled before the Vols play at Georgia and host Florida. What are the chances the Vols sweep those games or even win two of three? Not good.
UT's next game, Chattanooga, should be a sure-fire win. Then, there's a trip to upstart Ole Miss before hosting Alabama and traveling to South Carolina. The Vols should be favored against Kentucky later in the month – if the season isn't already off the rails. Missouri and Vanderbilt close out the season. Both teams have had recent success against UT.
A freshman class figures to bolster UT's roster. The Vols' 2014 class is ranked as one of the tops in the nation. But ready for Norman? No.
Within reason, forget about the cost of buying out of the Oklahoma game. It's simply the right thing to do. Jones doesn't deserve half of the challenges he's had to face. Replacing a likely loss with a likely win is the least UT's administration can do for him.
There will be other fun road trips. UT has the money. Now, it's time for the Vols to swallow their pride.

Moroccan Eggplant Salad
I came into liking eggplant very late. I found this recipe when I worked in the kitchen at the Ulpana in Maale Levona. I basically washed the dishes and chopped veggies and this was one of the salads I chopped veggies for. It's a fairly easy recipe, the only time consuming part is frying the cubed eggplant.
My apologies for not having amounts but it's a salad - do things according to your own taste.
Eggplant, cubed
flour seasoned with black pepper, garlic powder and paprika (that's what I usually use, Feel free to make adjustments)
red pepper, diced
parsley, chopped
garlic, minced
olive oil, splash
lemon juice, splash
salt and pepper
oil for frying
Dredge the eggplant in the flour, shake off excess flour and fry the pieces until golden brown, turning at least once. Drain on a towel then place into a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, toss and chill.

"I won't try, really, because it's part of the game," he said. "Believe me, when you don't try too much is when it's going to happen. What I try to do is try to make hard contact somewhere. I know when I'm going good, I know the ball will jump somewhere."
To Galarraga's left at Scottsdale Stadium is the locker of Edgardo Alfonzo, still trying to escape New York after being snowed in by the massive blizzard that hit the East Coast earlier this week. The team expected Alfonzo to catch a flight Wednesday and be in camp for the first full workout Thursday.
Ray Durham was a bit luckier, getting out of North Carolina on Sunday despite his connecting flight getting stuck in Baltimore. He's been doing some running since his arrival, to acclimate himself to the climate.
"I'm glad to get away from the cold weather. I just got out before the ice hit," he said. "I had to get a little running in and get used to this light air out here. ... You get tired fast out here. Even the amount of work we did in the offseason doesn't prepare you for this light air out here."
Durham was among several players, including Neifi Perez, Jose Cruz Jr. and Galarraga, who joined the workouts for pitchers and catchers, getting in some early batting practice and taking ground balls.
"I'm amazed at the shape that these guys are in and the conditioning program they have here," said manager Felipe Alou. "They wanted to work out right away as soon they got here. It's not like they're looking for an apartment. These guys came here to do work."

So...I'm considering blogging for this FireDougMelvin thing, because apparently my week isn't filled up enough with my quota of irrelevant bullshit. In any case, I would like my blogging name to have some meaning beyond what my brewcrewball one does, which was simply decided because I had played a game with my character name "Pags" back in the day, but that one was already claimed on cbssportsline.com, which I discovered before BCB. So...since I was a fan of the BrewCrew, I became PagsBrewCrew. Pretty lame. But that lameness is exactly why I need your help.
So, I would like to have a brand new nickname for picking apart Doug Melvin, because he should be viewed as sucking more than my nickname. This is all assuming my ideas don't suck worse than his. But without further ado (because I'm likely past the minimum word limit now) here are the options.
Deputy Braun (suggested by Fatter than Joey) - Ryan Braun and Doug Melvin had a disagreement earlier this year, at the end of which Melvin said "I'll be glad to have Ryan help if he wants to. I'll give him a badge and he can be my deputy."
I Shot the Sheriff (mine) - FtJ and I were thinking along similar wavelengths here. If Braun is the Deputy, that makes Melvin the Sheriff. And we want the Sheriff to be gone, evoking imagery of the reggae hit "I shot the sheriff" performed by Bob Marley and Eric Clapton, among others
Gord's Melon (suggested by TheJay) - Gord Ash is a potential GM-in-waiting. We don't know how good he'd be in the big seat though. On the plus side, it also suggests a career alternative to Melvin (he should be a pumpkin or watermelon farmer, because he sucks at this baseball thing)

News: J. Cole Admits He Jumped The Gun: "Let's Not F*ck Around"
Tuesday, Feb 26, 2013 8:50PM
Roc Nation rapper J. Cole recently talked about his delayed Born Sinner solo effort and explained why he blew his own lid off by trying to meet a premature release date.
Cole said after a discussion with the Roc Nation higher-ups, they all came to the conclusion a later drop date would make everyone's life easier.
"They were cool with it, like 'Whatever you wanna do'," Cole said of the label reaction at Roc Nation and Columbia when he initially announced that he was going to drop his album at the top of 2013. Since then, the rapper admits that his original release date didn't give him time to do it right. "Really that was a bad move. We decided that we got everybody playing on the same team and the same frequency. This is the sophomore album let's not f--- around," the Fayetteville, North Carolina, MC told MTV News during a sit-down on February 16 in Houston. "Let's really roll this out right, get the proper single, get the proper videos, proper brands. There are certain things that you can line up to make an album feel bigger." (MTV)
Last month, the North Carolina-bred emcee said his long-awaited sophomore release needed more time to perfect.
J. Cole fans will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on his sophomorealbum Born Sinner. The Roc Nation rapper has delayed the project. While hosting a New Year's Eve gig at TAO Las Vegas, Cole revealed that the follow-up to his 2011 debut Cole World: The Sideline Story won't arrive on his 28th birthday, as previously announced. "It's not gonna make January 28. It's gonna be a little later than that. I needed more time," he told PopStop TV. The first single, "Miss America," was released in November. (Rap-Up)
Even back in in November, Cole suggested the LP would likely miss any early 2013 release dates.
Part of the reason that "Born Sinner's" release date may well be pushed back is because of Cole's increased promotional muscle. The rapper mentions that he's eyeing different branding opportunities to coincide with the album, as well as a short film -- "something way more expansive than a music video," he claims -- that will begin shooting in December. Whenever "Born Sinner" arrives (Cole predicts sometime early in 2013), the album will likely be a more serious effort than "Cole World," which debuted at No. 1 upon its release last year. The album will detail "the story of corruption -- corruption of an artist when commercial appeal is involved, or corruption of a relationship when temptation is involved, or corruption of a government when capitalism is involved. It's a lot of things. I don't want anybody to think it's so heavy, but it deals with those things." (Billboard)
The rapper's Roc Nation debut toppled the sales chart with over 200,000 sold copies in September 2011.
Leading the pack this week is J. Cole's Cole World: The Sideline Story debuting at No. 1. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the North Carolina rap newcomer's long-awaited debut album has sold 217,300 copies after seven days in stores. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

Ian Holloway may have earned a reputation for attacking football from his last foray into the Premier League with Blackpool, but his Crystal Palace side were set up in the first half to frustrate and deny Tottenham Hotspur the opportunity to create any chances, with some disciplined defending leaving the visitors in a familiar position from last season, struggling to break down a team sitting deep.
Mousa Dembele went close after a quarter of an hour with a swerving effort which clipped the bar on its way over from 30 yards out after some fine work from new addition Roberto Soldado, but Tottenham otherwise struggled to get past a disciplined Palace side, with Mile Jedinak in particular doing a fine job in disrupting the play of the visitors.
Gylfi Sigurdsson was the next to come close to opening the scoring, after he was picked out by Aaron Lennon on the edge of the area and looked to score a trademark strike. But Julian Speroni was able to make the save and keep the scores deadlocked. Tottenham then looked to be getting into their stride, and Speroni was soon called into action again to deny Soldado at the near post after more good work from Lennon.
The hosts came out for the second half seemingly with more intent to play football and attack, and looked to put together a decent passage of play but couldn't find a final ball. Just five minutes in, however, they relinquished an opportunity for Spurs to take the lead. After having one decent penalty shout turned down as Paulinho went down in the area, Lennon's cross was then handballed by Dean Moxey, with Soldado stepping up to convert the penalty with ease, sending Speroni the wrong way from the spot.
Ian Holloway responded by making a triple attacking change, bringing on Jonathan Williams, Kevin Phillips and Marouane Chamakh in a bid to force an equaliser, but his side still struggled to get into the game. Indeed, Spurs should have wrapped up the game shortly afterwards, Soldado unselfishly teeing up Sigurdsson but the midfielder, who was having a frustrating afternoon, spurned the opportunity to make it 2-0.
Kevin Phillips almost had an opportunity afterwards after some extremely unorthodox goalkeeping from Hugo Lloris, charging out of his area to tackle the veteran striker and just about getting away with it as his defenders managed to prevent the hosts from getting an opportunity to shoot at the open goal.
Spurs continued to look for a goal to kill the game off, but almost suffered a sucker-punch when Phillips' knock-back found the onrushing Kagisho Dikgacoi, but Hugo Lloris kept his concentration to save his goalbound effort. That proved to be the closest Palace came - Spurs had showed some familiar old problems, but in the end had enough in them to ensure a victory, albeit a narrow one.

How to Apply False Eyelashes
Learn how to apply false eyelashes for a glamorous look.
If you've always wanted the dramatic look of false lashes but were too nervous to apply them yourself, conquer your fears with these easy steps. Since most strips of falsies are really long, your first step is to customize them. Use a scissor to trim your false lashes to a more natural length that fits the shape of your eye. Hold the lashes securely between your fingers or a pair of tweezers. Apply lash glue to the bottom strip of the lashes. Wait 30 seconds before you put them on. This allows the glue to dry a little, creating a sticky adhesive. When you apply the lashes, stick them as close to your lash line as possible. Lay the lash gently onto your lash line and use the bottom of an eye shadow brush to press the adhesive onto your eyelid. Fight the urge to blink hard since this may knock lashes out of place. Applying false lashes may take a little practice but you'll love the results. False lashes make your eyes look much fuller and can give you a hint of drama for a night out.

Trying to avoid buying bread after walking through the Wegmans bread section is pretty much impossible. Between the smell, the pretty cakes, the free samples, and the feeling of being virtually surrounded by baked goods, it will pretty much destroy anyone's determination.
Since I already have sandwich bread at home, I decided I'd try something different out. And hi, what could be more "different" than a bulbous crown-shaped bread that has a crackling rice flour shell on top, that's called MARCO POLO bread?!
Once I got home, I cut a small wedge of the bread and tried a few bites plain, then with the peanut butter I also bought. The crackly rice flour crust (or at least that's what I think the label said it was) doesn't taste much like anything, but provides an interesting texture that is different from a normal bread crust. The bread innards were fluffy but chewy, a nice neutral base for the peanut butter. I cut up the rest of the bread, wrapped them in plastic wrap, and froze them in a Ziploc bag. So far, so good. They defrost well and I haven't had problems with staleness yet.
Final verdict? An interesting bread to look at, but if you're expecting it to taste different/better than regular bread, you may be slightly disappointed. I've heard issues of the bread going stale pretty quickly, especially with the already crunchy crust, so I would recommend the storage method I wrote about above if you don't plan on serving it to a large family or at a party the day you buy it. I like this bread, it would go great with soup, mussels, stew, basically anything that could be sopped up with large chunks of this bread. If you're interested in trying it, I'd recommend getting the mini version, like I did- it comes in Mini and Regular sizes. The Mini was $2.75, not sure how much the Regular version is.

Review: Wegmans' Marco Polo Bread
1 comment:
I tried this bread for the first time yesterday. I found it has quite a unique flavor. It even smells unlike a typical 100% wheat bread. Also, it tasted quite savory to me, I don't think I would ever think of putting peanut butter on it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try a different style bread. Plus, the mini is much larger than its name suggests, so its a pretty good value.ReplyDelete

HOUSTON—A Harris county jury found a Spring man guilty Tuesday of super aggravated sexual assault of a 4-year-old child.
Lucas Coe, 28, was accused of raping his girlfriend's daughter, Emma Thompson. She died last June from severe abdominal trauma.
Coe was dating Emma's mother Abigail Young at the time of her death.
Earlier this year, Young was sentenced to 20 years in prison for failing to protect her daughter.
Jurors deliberated Coe's fate for three and a half hours before convicting him. Coe can be sentenced to up to life in prison and will not be eligible for parole.
The jury is set to come back on Wednesday to begin the punishment phase in the trial.

Martin Samowitz, Marty's discount shoe chain founder from Alpine, dies at 99
Martin Samowitz, founder and chairman of the Marty's discount shoe store chain, a regional presence since 1974, died Friday. The former Alpine resident was 99.
From a single outlet in a Little Ferry shopping center, Mr. Samowitz — who learned the shoe business from his father — built a Secaucus-based chain that peaked at 100 stores in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Florida. It was Mr. Samowitz's idea to have a parrot squawk "Marty's!" in the chain's radio ads. He figured that everyone likes parrots and the consumer would take notice, said John Adams, CEO of Marty's and Mr. Samowitz's longtime associate.
Mr. Samowitz was right. Chain Store Age magazine described the Marty's parrot as among the most identifiable, albeit annoying, advertising mascots.
"He was a brilliant businessman and, to me, a father figure," said Adams, a South Korean immigrant originally named Mal Yong Chun whom Mr. Samowitz helped become a citizen.
Mr. Samowitz launched Marty's after his first shoe store chain, Perry's, went under following an ill-advised merger with a conglomerate that went bankrupt. He turned over day-to-day operations to Adams in 1996. A private equity firm acquired the company in 2006.
But Marty's fell on hard times and filed for bankruptcy in 2008. The remaining stores were liquidated. By then, the vigorous Mr. Samowitz was living in retirement in Longboat Key, on Florida's Gulf Coast, and enjoying outings on his yacht, Footloose.
In February 2009, Mr. Samowitz and Adams announced they were bringing back Marty's by opening four stores. Asked why he was returning to the business at 94, Mr. Samowitz told The Record: "I have enough aggravation in Florida with golf and running around."
Mr. Samowitz was chairman of the resurrected chain, although his involvement was limited, said Adams, the CEO. Today, Marty's has its headquarters in Westwood and has 23 stores in New Jersey and New York.
The Queens-born Martin Samowitz enlisted in the Army Air Force at 27 after the Pearl Harbor attack plunged the United States into World War II. He was fighting in the Pacific with the 7th Fighter Command, 20th Air Force when he received orders to attach to a Marine unit. Serving alongside younger troops, Mr. Samowitz took part in the Battle of Iwo Jima and watched as the American flag was raised over Mount Suribachi — a moment captured in Joe Rosenthal's iconic photograph.
"I didn't recognize the significance of that flag," he said in an interview with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune seven months ago. "I look at it, and it was just very ordinary."
Mr. Samowitz, who once played host to Iwo Jima veterans on his yacht, was believed to be the battle's oldest survivor.
He died in Florida 5 1/2 weeks into his 100th year and is survived by his wife, Paulette; daughter Lani Marcus Haynes of Moorestown, and two granddaughters.
Burial will be Wednesday in Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, N.Y.

Springboks lock Etzebeth set to miss Wales Tests
12:06pm Wednesday 28th May 2014 in Sport
SOUTH Africa lock Eben Etzebeth is likely to be on the lengthy list of absentees for the Test series against Wales, writes Chris Kirwan.
The 22-year-old had been hoping to make his comeback from a foot injury in June but needs around three more weeks of rehabilitation.
Etzebeth, who was nominated for the IRB world player of the year award last year, sustained the injury the Springboks' autumn over France in Paris.
"Eben's situation is a major setback as he's been one of our best players in the last two seasons," said South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer.
"We're continually monitoring his injury, because he really wants to play for the Springboks next month. However, he is still young and has a highly promising career ahead and his welfare is the most important to us."
South Africa are already without captain Jean de Villiers (knee), Chiliboy Ralepelle (knee), Franco van der Merwe (ankle), Pierre Spies (bicep), Pat Lambie (bicep), Gio Aplon (elbow), Jaque Fourie (ankle) and Adriaan Strauss (suspension).
Shoulder injuries mean that Wales will be without Sam Warburton, Richard Hibbard, Justin Tipuric, Leigh Halfpenny, Hallam Amos and Scott Williams for the two-Test tour along with Rhys Priestland (knee) and Bradley Davies (hamstring).
Wales play Eastern Province Kings on June 10 before taking on the Boks on June 14 and 21.

I liked the beige color I bought, but I think it's discontinued now. The formula is good for the $8 I paid for it but I like a thicker, opaque consistency when it comes to creamy/satin lipsticks (not shimmer, frost, gloss, matte). The packaging is cute, with a little bow, but it does not fit in a lipstick holder (the see-thru plstic ones everybody has). I would buy again if I wanted a trendy color to wear for one season.
I don't like this because it dries my lips.
It has various good colors, I bought BE101 and it is really nice color for natural make up.
Very cute packaging.
But again, it dries my lips. Doesn't works well on dry lips so make sure to apply lip balm before or after apply.
Pretty packaging. Good quality. Bright colors, very pigmented. I own be102 and be104. Apply with fingers or brush, not directly from tube because it is too thick.
It does stay for a long time and have plenty of pretty colors colors. I am using mine for a year. Highly recommended. Con is it makes my lips little dry, but I use it with lip balm~
I was looking for a bright orange lipstick when I was in Korea and happen to come across the OR207.
The lipstick has a light sweet smell, when smelling it from the stick itself, but on my lips I cant smell it anymore.
The texture is rich, altho a little on the dry side. But the pigment is great! I have a darker liptint in general, so for it to be that orange on my lips just after two layer application makes me very satisfied. The end result it more matte than shiny. But since I have dry lips, I put a little vaseline before or after it sets.
As for longlasting, it lasts ok when i am not drinking or eating, but def needs touch up after a meal.
Price is ok for me since i happen to be in Korea when buying it, not sure if i would buy it online if the price would increase. As for packaging, i prefer simple looking containers, this one is pink flowery shape with a shiny pink bow is just too princessy for me.
I even considered not buying because of the ridiculous looking package. But girly girls would probably love it.
This is the cutest lipstick ever! The packaging is so adorable, especially the bow! I bought the dark red RD301 lipstick. The lipstick is extremely pigmented, but you can just lightly dab on it to get rid of excess lip color. The product lasts very long, and doesn't stain any glasses (Only if you don't press too hard). I used it for my graduation ball and it lasted for around 5 hours, whilst I was eating dinner (So there was a lot of rubbing). I will definitely repurchase this product! Maybe in a different color next time.
OMG Etude House and Korean cosmetics always have the cutest packaging. I purchased this lipstick and the etoinette crystal shine lipsticks. I purchased the color OR210. Online it looks like a wearable coral. It is soooo bright in person and very pigmented, one swipe and your lips are bright coral/orange. Of course you can tone it down by dabbing the lipstick on or blotting with tissue paper or even putting clear gloss over. But omg it is sooo pigmented! The downside is that it can be drying on the lips, settles into creases, and it transfers like crazy. I am a bit disappointed in the color I chose. It's hard when you're buying through online sellers tho. Got it off ebay for around $8-10 and it came in the mail within 2 weeks.
I have or202, it's an extremely bright orange color, almost coral red, so pretty. This lipstick is SO PIGMENTED, the color show up perfectly, as bright as it looks like. The packaging is super pretty, so girly, it has a bow, and it's pink. I actually never like lipstick that much because lipstick can make my dry lips look ever more terrible and usually lipstick's pretty drying, but this one's moisturizing a lot, it looks really nice on my lips, glid on smoothly. super awesome lipstick, recomend it.
i own OR207 which is a shocking orange color but the lipstick can be toned down. what i do is i just dot the lipstick very gently on my lips. when the lipstick rubs off, the lips still has a beautiful peach stain left. color range really suits yellow/asian skin tone. the finish is between matte and creamy which i love. not glossy. definitely gonna buy other color. :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have a few of these lipsticks and I'm absolutely in love - it's really hard to find bright, pigmented lipsticks that don't cake up on the lips or dry out quickly, these lipsticks pack a punch and are nicely emollient. I have fairly pigmented lips, even the lighter colors in this range (PK007, OR203) look good on me, without washing me out or making me look like a clown. There's a bit of a peachy scent which is more or less completely absent from the lips after application. These lipsticks have decent staying power (not as good as MAC's Lustre lipsticks, since the Etude House ones are far more emollient), but they fade gracefully. I don't like that the lipsticks get a tad sticky after fading a bit, but I'd prefer sticky over drying, which is what I get with most bold lipsticks in my collection (I'm looking at you, Lime Crime).
Overall, I'm really happy with these. The colors are bright, fun, playful and uncomplicated (no shimmers, glitters or frosts), the packaging is really cute and the price is right - I've even found a Holy Grail color among these, RD304, a bright, 90s red-coral. Hooray!

New York City Opera Plans Innovative Stagings of Turn of the Screw and Powder Her Face; Sam Buntrock Attached
By Adam Hetrick
Tony Award nominee Sam Buntrock will stage the Benjamin Britten opera The Turn of the Screw as part of New York City Opera's upcoming season at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The season will also feature the work of Obie-winning director Jay Scheib.
Scheib (A New House in Bali, World of Wires) will return for a re-mounting of his 1998 staging of Thomas Adès' Powder Her Face Feb. 15-23 at the Gilman Opera House. Featuring a libretto by Philip Hensher and conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer, the multimedia production has sets by Marsha Ginsberg, costumes by Alba Clemente, lighting by Thomas Dunn and projection design by Joshua Higgason.
Inspired by the 1960's British sex scandal, the opera will feature Allison Cook as the Duchess, Nili Riemer as the Maid, Matt Boehler as the the Hotel Manager, Jon Morris as the Waiter, Kaneza Schaal as the Nurse and, as NYCO bills it, "a non-singing chorus of thirty nude men."
Buntrock (Sunday in the Park With George) will helm the Feb. 26-March 2 BAM run of The Turn of the Screw, based on the Henry James story and featuring a libretto by Myfanwy Piper. It is re-imagined as a contemporary 1980's horror story by Buntrock, with set and costume design by David Farley and lighting by David Weiner.
The cast will feature Sara Jakubiak as the Governess, Dominic Armstrong as Peter Quint, Lauren Worsham as Flora, Benjamin P. Wenzelberg as Miles, Sharmay Musacchio as Mrs. Grose and Jennifer Goode Cooper as Miss Jessel.
NYCO will also stage Moses in Egypt and La Périchole at City Center this spring. The company is expected to offer the American premiere of the Mark-Anthony Turnage opera Anna Nicole, based on the life of Anna Nicole Smith, at BAM in mid-September under the direction of Richard Jones. Representatives have not confirmed the Turnage production.

Great restaurant Fresh sushi, portions are HUGE! MUST TRY!
Posted by Don Draper on 10/26/2011
My wife and I live in the area and just love this place. The specialty rolls (Green River, Yellow, and Red) are excellent. Delivery is super fast and dining in is always fast and easy also. Highly recommended.

Have had better sushi but teriyaki shrimp was excellent. Nice restaurant within walking distance of my hotel. Would go again.
Posted by gil on 07/11/2011
i eat lunch here at least 3 times a week - the sushi is incredibly fresh and incredibly tasty. i get the sushi lunch special - amazing deal. that said, i'm not a huge fan of their rolls, the salmon avocado is good, but i'm not crazy about the spicy tuna or yellowtail scallion. something about the consistency of their minced fish isn't right, but the sushi/sashimi and everything else is perfect.
Posted by Amanda on 05/31/2011
I am confused why so many people have given Tenzan such wonderful reviews. As a sushi lover, I have found the sushi at Tenzan to be some of the worst I have had in the city. . I find the spicy rolls to be almost --unedible. Given the surrounding alternatives aka Yasuda, Yama 49 and Sushi Seki (some of the best in the city) I am truly surprised of the write-ups I am reading. It is unfortunate this is the case as I live a block away but even with the convinience factor, Tenzan is not a place I will be going again.

I don't know what half these people are talking about, this place is GREAT! Their fish to rice ratio is what keeps me coming back. They pack each roll with so much fresh fish and use just the right amount of rice. Their fish is always fresh and they're rolls are beyond satisfying, two will have you completely full. My all time favorites are the spicy like, spicy crunch, spicy tuna and peanut avocado. Their salmon avocado is really good too. I think you can pretty much order anything on this menu and it'll be delicious. I cannot get enough Tenzan! :)

Familiar with the UWS Tenzan, I decided to give this one a try at lunch. It was so noisy that I will never go back! Putting all diners in one huge room with furnishings that help the sound bounce all over helps makes the place noisier. Good value if you do not eat in.

2 1/2 cups sugar
Boil sugar, syrup and water until it will form a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Beat 1/2 cup of syrup mixture into beaten egg whites. Cook remaining syrup until it will spin a thread. Beat into egg whites. Add vanilla and pecans. When it begins to stiffen, drop by spoonfuls on wax paper.
It has to be a clear sunshiny day to make. If it's rainy, it won't spin a thread.

This is not your average canvas, but for artist Tara Goreau it was the start of series of paintings. She did this two years ago for the co-owner of Jasper Hill Creamery. It turns out whey, a byproduct of making cheese, is good for pigs to eat and that tank is where the whey is stored.
"It's very cosmic," she says.
Goreau moved on to a bigger canvas for her next work for Jasper Hill. She painted this blue cheese moon on the barn with some cheese planets and cows spiraling through space.
The barn Goreau painted at Jasper Hill Creamery is now part of her latest mural here at the Food Venture Center in Hardwick, where Jasper Hill makes its cheese.
"I'm looking at my reference photos as to the cows internal organs and how milk is made and trying to tie that into cheese," she explains.
This cow, on a wall that's about 14 by 12 feet, started with an outline in pencil. It's a messy process to start and she says that's the benefit of this big canvas.
"When I realized I was making this part of the cow's stomach there was a person at the end and it might stick and it might not," she says.
The flexibility with the paint she uses also makes it easy to have the mural evolve. She uses house paint and says, it's relatively thin so she can add layers and layers.
Goreau says, it's normally children who see detailed things in her murals.
"They sometimes see things that I hide because they're not glazing over the whole thing, they're looking at the little details that are unexpected," she says. "When I was painting at City Market this little girl came in with her parents one morning and she just sat there and looked at me and watched me paint for about half an hour and then a few hours later she came back with her parents and gave me a picture that she had painted of me painting and I was just so touched by that. It was just so cool because you never know, maybe you're inspiring someone else to be an artist."
Or, to just stop and enjoy the view. A view created, more and more often, by artist Tara Goreau. She's had a busy week. She finished up the cow mural Friday and this past Wednesday there was a dedication at the Morrisville Senior Center for another one of her murals.
The seniors paid for the mural through a bingo fund. Now they sell postcards of it to fundraise for the senior center.

After weeks spent picking a jury, lawyers in the trial of a man accused of killing a local school official are set to make their opening statements to that jury Tuesday morning at the Chautauqua County Courthouse in Mayville, New York.
Anthony Taglianetti is charged with the shooting death of Clymer School Superintendent Keith Reed, Jr. Prosecutors say Taglianetti thought Reed was having an affair with his wife.
Today, defense attorney Nathaniel Barone told us he expects the trial to last 2-4 weeks. And he said it is not clear right now if Taglianetti will take the stand and testify.
Opening statements are set to begin at 9:30am Tuesday.
Judge John Ward will preside at the trial.

Tell GR: What Are Gaming's Biggest Boss Battles?
Posted on Tuesday, July 9 @ 18:38:19 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
No other form of entertainment has anything like the Boss Battle. It's not like you get to the end of a book and suddenly the words get harder to read, or more fun to say out loud, or add new elements. Bosses let gamers know they're about to accomplish something, but that they'll have to use everything in their arsenal to find success.
I love bosses. They come in so many different shapes and sizes, and some bosses let you defeat them in unique and secret ways. When all is said and done, I've barely scratched the surface of amazing boss battles in this week's Tell GR video, so finish it off in the comments!
We want to know what your favorite boss battles are, why, what makes them so brutal, and how you overcame that insane challenge. Don't forget to rate your fellow commenters for tomorrow's TPS Report.
What are gaming's biggest boss battles?

Blues lost two to the Miners over the weekend. They're back at the Richard Calder Arena Friday to host the Scotians.
SPRINGHILL – After winning five games in a row, the Cumberland County Blues were unable to make any headway in the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League standings over the weekend, losing two games to the Glace Bay Jr. Miners.
The Blues played the Miners Friday, losing 5-4, and lost 3-1 on Saturday. Both games were at the Richard Calder Arena in Springhill.
On Friday, the Miners were up on the Blues 2-0 midway through the first period when the Blues Ryan Crowe scored on a power play with seven minutes left in the frame. Dmitrii Anikin and Zach Anderson assisted on the goal.
The Blues went up 3-2 early in the second period on two quick power play goals.
Jesse Colborne scored two minutes into the frame with assists from Brett Pendergast and Shane Harnish, and then Kyle MacDonald scored off an assist from Blues goaltender Jesse Cox.
The Blues held the 3-2 lead until there was 1:43 left in the second. That's when the Miners scored three goals in quick succession.
Drew Wilcox scored with 1:43 left in the period, Sean Ferguson scored with 1:04 left in the period, and Lincoln Bradley scored with 34 seconds left in the period.
Down 5-3, the Blues scored their final goal with 7:37 left in third. Anderson and Shawn Wright assisted on the goal.
Cox stopped 25 of 30 shots on the night for the Blues, while his teammates had 23 shots on Miners goaltender faced 23 shots.
Cox faced many more shots on Saturday, as the Blues were outshot 47-15. Despite the lopsided shot clock, the Blues lost by only two goals.
Shawn Wright scored the Blues lone goal, with assists from Anikin and Colborne.
Wright scored the first goal of the game with just under 11 minutes left in the first period, and the Miners tied the game 1-1 with seven seconds left in the frame.
The Miners scored one goal in the second period, and one goal in the third period.
With the two losses the Blues have 15 points, six points behind the Antigonish Bulldogs in the fight for the final playoff spot in the Sid Rowe Division.
The Blues have five more regular season games, all against division rivals.
On Friday they're back at home where they face off against the Pictou County Scotians. The following Friday they host the Bulldogs, and then travel to Pictou on Sunday to play the Scotians.
The final weekend of the regular season sees the Blues at home Feb. 14, against the Port Hawkesbury Strait Pirates, and then they play their last game of the regular season Feb. 16, in Port Hawkesbury.
The Bulldogs have seven more games to play in the regular season. They host the Pirates Wednesday and the Miners Friday.
They are then on the road Feb. 1 to play the St. Margaret's Bay Ducks, and then in Springhill Feb. 7.
The Bulldogs return home Feb. 9 and Feb. 14, to play the Valley Maple Leafs and the Scotians respectively, and then they wrap up their regular season schedule on the road Feb. 15, against the Miners.

Since then he has taught both algebra and calculus-based physics, physical science, astronomy, and engineering courses. In 1979-80 he taught in an NSF funded graduate program for high school teachers. This program included both physics and education courses for pre-college teachers of physics and physical science.
At present he is working to transform his teaching by incorporating active learning techniques into his classroom teaching with microcomputer demonstrations that include real-time analysis of experimental data, and he continues to work at adding humor to his physics classes.
"Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we will harness for God the energies of love; and then for the second time in the history of the world man will have discovered fire!" -- Teilhard de Chardin, philosopher.
In 1994 Bob returned to full-time teaching after serving for 18 years as Chair of the division of Science, Mathematics, and Engineering. During that time his interests were, in part, focused on science education, serving as the Executive Director of the S.C. Junior Academy of Science and President of the S.C. Academy of Science. He served on the Board of Trustees for the S.C. Governor's School for Science and Mathematics in Hartsville from it's beginning in 1987 until 2000.
"I have been asked whether I would agree that the tragedy of the scientist is that he is able to bring about great advances in our knowledge, which mankind may then proceed to use for purposes of destruction. My answer is that this is not the tragedy of the scientist; it is the tragedy of mankind." -- Leo Szilard, physicist.
Bob's personal interests include his family and his children's interests in sports, especially basketball. Bob continues his long-time interest in family life issues. In 1984 after completing a 12-month certification program, Bob was certified as a Natural Family Planning (NFP) Practitioner by the Creighton University School of Medicine. Since that time he has worked with his wife Ann, who is also a certified NFP Practitioiner, to provide introductory programs for couples interested in effective family planning done naturally.
"Confused about ethical behavior ... let's start with the four classic virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance. In addition ... we have three religious (theological) virtues: faith, hope and charity." -- James W. Dally, engineer.
Since 1985 Bob and his wife pursued their passion for chastity-based sexuality education for families through an organization called Family Honor. Bob's program presentations for parents and parents with their pre-adolescents or adolescents include communication skills, psycho-sexual development of the child, fertility information, presentation of a wholistic view of human sexuality, and nurturing virtuous behavior, especially the virtue of chastity. In the late 1990's Family Honor's focus on parental-adolescent connectedness was validated by several major studies involving nearly 100,000 adolescents. These studies reported that cohesive families with high levels of parent-adolescent connectedness are the single most important factor ini helping adolescents to make good life decisions and avoid destructive behaviors.
Favorite Quote: Nemo dat quad non habit. (You cannot give what you do not have.)
It's been my experience that the great adventure of "life" provides opportunities to do something unusal and/or of great merit. For me this has occurred at least four times. In each of these four cases I have been blessed with the grace needed to accept the challenge provided, and this has lead to a life filled with the following experiences and continuing adventures:
Marriage to my wonderful wife, Ann, in August 1972
A lifetime commitment with my wife Ann to have a large family (seven children and now grandchildren)
The blessing to be able to take my motherinto our home and to have our family care for her during the five years before she dies (January 1977)
To experience the building of a house together with my wife, children, son-in-law, brothers-in-law, and good family friends from all over South Carolina.
This last adventure began in the fall of 1997 with the dream of building a log house. It ended late in the summer of 1998 with a log house, which is now our home on Lake Dogwood. During the winter of 1997-98 our family planned the interior of the house, while working with a log house shell we had selected. The house was designed to be a simple structure that would serve our family for many years to come. Working through the warm days on weekends in the spring of 1998, our family worked to clear much of our land of unwanted brush and small trees. From mid-May through mid-August we worked to build the house ourselves with appropriate assistance from sub-contractors.
The building of our house was very special for many reasons. Often the work was an application of problem solving that is typical of physics and engineering problems. Frequently the solutions or techniques used to overcome problems were the very concepts of mathematics, physics, and engineering which are a part of my classroom instruction. Addditionally, during this project several of my children matured significantly right before my eyes. Finally, the building process contained a few but significant, slower, quiet moments where I or my wife could work together with one of our children. These opportunities allowed us to share and discuss with them the BIG questions of life: What is life for? Whom am I? What is my purpose in life? For this we are eternally grateful, Deo Gratias!

Yesterday, Fleur told you that the Bajan Yodeler and the Forehead Tap Dancer from Tappahannock were uniting for a duet, once again. The song, "Nobodies Business," will be featured on Rihanna's November release, "Unapologetic," and we've got a snippet for your listening pleasure, or whatever.
Why does it have to be so catchy? WHYYYYY?
Today's theme: prayer circles. Everybody needs one. And apparently they need a spell checker too, "nobodies?"
Are you digging this? Or should the busted Ashford & Simpson give it a rest?
