Middle Eastern restaurants are hard to come by in the greater Metropolitan area of Dallas, and even more rare is one representing the culture and unique culinary specialties of Afghanistan. Afghan cuisine is a hybrid of its influential ancestry with Italian, Mediterranean, Indian, and Turkish roots and heritage that have coalesced over the centuries to create the flavorful dishes they are today. The hospitable owners, Matt and Rosalind, opened Afghan Grill two years ago in order to enhance the relationship between Dallasites and the historically definitive Afghan cuisine. After establishing a clientele base who can enjoy an immaculately well-thought out menu night after night, Afghan Grill has become one of Dallas' premiere culinary establishments. Conneissuers have the opportunity to revel in Afghan aestheticism with the beautifully designed interior of Afghan Grill; take in the vibrant painted walls, folk-style paintings, Middle Eastern themed decor, and flowing floor to ceiling drapery that delight the senses for a royally refined type of elegance.
The gracious hosts invite guests in as family and will joyously explain the menu so that you can make the most informed decision for your exotic eating adventures. Many Afghan dishes are figure-friendly but are always made with filling and substantial fundamentals. Afghan dishes use invigorating fresh ingredient staples like yogurt, saffron, rices, breads, hearty desert vegetables, garlic, coriander, and many other earthy herbs. All of Afghan Grill's fare is served hot and with pride and hospitality direct from the owner himself when he can. Afghan Grill's menu explores all the tastes of Afghani traditions and gives eaters a chance to choose palate-pleasing dishes that are prepared with precision-like excellence and meticulous preparation. One way to start your Middle Eastern experience is a dish named Kadu Burnee which is made with sauteed pumpkin that is drizzled with creamy garlic yogurt and a layer of savory meat sauce. Also available are a few desirable light and healthy salads; the noticeable standouts include the Afghani Salad and the Panir Salad, which directly mimics its Italian heritage but with a Middle Eastern twist. The Afghani Salad is prepared with a combination of diced cucumbers, vine ripe tomatoes, green bell peppers, cut onions, and all lightly tossed with crisp mint dressing. It is a very refreshing and light treat that can cleanse the appetite and ready it for the main course! Afghan grill offers spectacular entrees and kabobs, meat dumplings, vegetarian dishes, and out of this world cooked rice dishes. The intricate preparation behind these meals makes for the most perfectly delicate and exquisite flavorful rice; an intense procedure which the Afghani people have been perfecting for centuries! The main style of cooking the long-grain Basmati rice is called Chalao and is first soaked over night, steamed, then boiled, and finally baked in the oven with herbs and butter. This rice is truly unlike any other you have tasted and stands alone or as the base in a casserole or stew.
Qabili Palao is a known as the staple entree for the Afghani people and involves pepped up pieces of lamb or chicken with thinly sliced sweet carrots and plump raisins piled high on saffron-infused rice. Many of the cuisine samples are perfect for sharing as the portions are family-style and also good to know is that most appetizers can be enjoyed as entrees or vice versa. Another extraordinary in taste yet ubiquitous Afghan meal is the Mantoo; made of beautiful beef dumplings covered with a sweet vegetable sauce and drizzled with a lacy, silky garlic yogurt. And if fish is your delight, Afghan grill offers an array of fresh catches from the sea, including the Salmon Kabob which is superior-cut and seared fillet cubes seasoned with salt, pepper, lime juice, and flawless Afghan spices. All Kabobs including the Chicken, Beef Kofta, Beef Teka, Lamb, Salmon, and Shrimp Kabobs rest atop Afghan's specialty rice and sit along side colorful grilled bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and a perfectly matched yogurt sauce. One of the meals that exhibits all of the specialties and flavors that make Afghan food unique is the Sabzi Chalao, a dish of slowly simmered, savory, spinach in a stew of garlic, onions, tomatoes, and peppers, in sauce of impeccable flavors and warmth. Just let the wonderfully infused spices and expertly crafted rices dance to the sitar music in your mouth! We recommend to never skip out on dessert, and enjoy an end to the Afghan experience in the form of a cool, fluffy pistachio treat called Firnee; a flan-like custard blasted with mint and bathed with finely chopped pistachio nuts.

Never thought I would be eating at an Afghani restaurant in Dallas. The staff was very sweet and attentive. The rice is amazing; despite the ridiculous portion, I pretty much ate everything off my plate. And, everything mentioned above... Kadu Burnee and Qabili Palao are to die for! My only suggestion is that you do not come for the bar scene, but come for the food and the service.ReplyDelete

It seemed like it would be fun to play a songwriting game for a lark. Peter Karp and Sue Foley, two talented singers, songwriters, and instrumentalists started writing songs for each other's amusement a few years back, and that wound up producing a terrific duet album, He Said She Said, in 2010. That record topped blues charts around the country. With critics offering nothing but praise, and sales as good as or better than anything either had done on their own, Karp and Foley decided to let their fortunes run together for a while and see what happens next.
Sue Foley has the bigger name on the blues circuit, having released ten albums since her 1992 debut Young Girl Blues. The 44-year-old is equally well known for her scintillating skills on guitar, her incisive and open-hearted songwriting, and a voice that is thinner than most blues shouters, but which is capable of highly expressive, soulful delivery nonetheless. Peter Karp hasn't had her high profile, spending much of his adulthood staying away from releasing records or playing live gigs. In 2004, he recorded and toured with former Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, and then signed to Blind Pig in 2007 for his first shot at international distribution. His voice is immediately convincing, a big, bold, soul-drenched instrument that makes even his most troubadour-influenced material sound bluesy. In addition, he's a terrific keyboard player and an elegantly stylish slide guitarist.
Peter Karp & Sue Foley's Beyond the Crossroads
Beyond the Crossroads brings the two back together, though this time they don't split the songwriting evenly. Karp writes six, Foley three, and for the first time, they team up to produce three together. But Foley fans should not fear; her presence is every bit as important as that of Karp, with the two of them sharing vocal duties as well as guitar solos throughout the record.
One of those co-writes, "We're Gonna Make It" starts the record on an optimistic note even though it references the current economic troubles so many ordinary people are going through these days. The contrast between Karp's powerhouse vocal and Foley's quieter, yet focused responses is enchanting. They really do sound as though they are reinforcing each other's ability to believe in the ability of the other to get them through the tough times. "Analyze'n Blues," another co-write, picks up on the frustration with spending so much time talking about what is going wrong. "Lost in a world of information, theories, thoughts and news/conversation's going nowhere, analyze'n blues," they sing, before Foley comes up with the answer: "shut up and make love to me/quiet down my body and my mind." The long, beautifully played guitar outro sounds like they've gotten past thinking and onto feeling.
More Than I Bargained For
The next three songs are all Karp's. "Beyond the Crossroads" is classic R&B, right in the wheelhouse for Karp's talents. With gospel-influenced backing vocals, Karp suggests the importance of taking the right path, of finding a way to get through life and accepting a helping hand whenever possible. Karp admits he's made wrong decisions, but he's made right ones, too, and that things are getting better. No wonder they took this song for the album title; this is clearly a record of hope amidst the bad times, and acknowledgement that people need other people.
"Fine Love" follows this, a thrilling bit of pop wonderment with a chorus that hooks as hard as anything out there these days. Foley keeps insisting, "it don't sound so good but people it's a fine fine fine love," to which one can only reply, "but it does sound good." The Swingadelic Horns anchor "At the Same Time," a song in which Karp and Foley seem to be discussing all sorts of different angles regarding a potential affair. "Sometimes the good things that get you through are the bad things you need to do at the same time."
Foley's "Take Your Time" is an album highlight. Over a killer acoustic guitar riff, Foley sing/speaks lyrics of frustration but not despair with men, money, and life itself. The sound of this cut is seductive, easy-going, and all charm. "More Than I Bargained For" is the last co-write of the album, a Stax-styled soul number on which Karp reigns in his big voice and Foley sings slightly louder and smoother than usual, making for a delightfully effective duet. Karp plays a perfectly constructed slide guitar part here which fits neatly within the parameters of the song. Foley does the same on her non-slide playing on Karp's "Blowin'."
Chance of Rain
"Resistance" is a song wherein Foley decides analyze'n isn't always bad. As Karp lays down a beautiful piano-based groove, Foley sings "my resistance against myself keeps me yearning for something else." Karp follows this with "Chance of Rain," his own sing-speak number in which he suggests it's too easy to overthink the possibility of something going wrong. Foley's acoustic guitar and Karp's piano are delightful to hear on this one. There is no overthinking on "Plank Spank," a rocking instrumental giving Karp and Foley a chance to challenge each other with hot solos. While Karp's slide would seem to have the initial advantage, Foley's skills easily match his. Call it a draw.
The album ends with Karp's "You Got A Problem," the only cut which doesn't work completely right. It's a jump-blues, which isn't exactly his strength as a vocalist, and despite funny lyrics – "You and I both know that you're so drunk and lazy/because I'm the kind of man that drives women crazy" – he doesn't sound convincing playing the role of such a bad man.
Steve's Bottom Line
Beyond the Crossroads is a perfect companion piece to the new Bonnie Raitt album, Slipstream. Both records are full of good, bluesy R&B songs played and sung beautifully with solid arrangements. Peter Karp and Sue Foley aren't as well known as Raitt, but their music can withstand the comparison. It's that good. (Blind Pig Records, released April 17, 2012)

9Gwyneth Posts More Than $400k Worth Of Favorite Spring Fashion On Her Blog
Gwyneth Paltrow posted some of her favorite new spring items on her site, GOOP. We've blogged a lot about Ms. Paltrow lately; of her marriage, her gluten-free/basically everything-free diet, and health scares. None of this is with malicious intent.
There's no real hate or anything for GPal. To quote our lovely Jennifer, "I like Gwyneth for comedic value. I think Lindy West got it spot on when she wrote: "Commitment to whimsy + clueless gusto + impenetrable privilege = the world's best comedy." Amen, sister." I love her blissful ignorance, her assumption that people consider a Valentino iPad case a spring "must-have."
So here you go. A fashion spread starring Gwyneth for Goop, featuring $458,003 worth of stuff from Net-A-Porter. The high cut shirt and orange shorts are a particular head-scratcher for me.

Gwynn knows these items are unattainable for many women, and I truly think she gets her jollies flaunting her "wealth" in their faces. Chic has problems.
Eh whatever. I don't love any of the outfits, the jeans look like horrendous 'mom' jeans and none of the outfits are 'OMG must have!'. So she can keep her overpriced pieces and I'll keep buying my clothes from places I love and have pieces that are more flattering and affordable.
Now, look at these photos. Look at them. Can you believe there have been rumours that this woman is having an affair with Jay-Z? I mean … what?!
I LOVE the orange shorts. Really. But in the real world all of this means nothing. Being healthy and having access to resources is what makes prople look good, and feel good, not expensive shit.
The only thing she looks remotely good in is the Victoria Beckham dress. She looks like a total goober in everything else. A big, ol' vanilla oatmeal goober.
Am i the only one that find her face is not aging good?
I mean, to skinny, not eating well (for me her helthy diets are not healthy at all, forget junk food and eat everything would be better), well i always find she looks kind of sick.Not healthy and good aging like for example penelope cruz.
I really don't like her skinny look, she's just bland now, looking scorched. Alltought i found she looked great when she was younger, with more flesh on her body and face. No more flesh kill the flesh,really.
I'll right away clutch your rss as I can't to find your e-mail subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you've any? Please let me understand so that I could subscribe. Thanks.
Excellent goods from you, man. I have take into account your stuff prior to and you are simply extremely great. I really like what you have got right here, really like what you are stating and the best way in which you assert it. You're making it enjoyable and you still care for to stay it wise. I can not wait to learn much more from you. This is really a terrific website.

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) –If you dream of owning a home, a resource fair this weekend in Valdosta could help you realize that dream.
Valdosta High's Class of 1976, Housing Resource Solutions, and agencies around the community are putting on a housing fair this Saturday.
The free event will provide information on affordable rental housing, credit repair, the home buying process, and foreclosure prevention.
"Right now I think it's a buyer's market especially because of the incentives available, the $8,000 tax credit, the first time homebuyer down payment assistance program so the opportunities are endless," said Housing Resource Solutions owner Kelley Thomas.
The housing fair is at Pinevale Learning Center on Lake Park Road Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Leave Ed Davis in the starting lineup when Darrell Arthur comes back. Hopefully Darrell is back for the Portland game. This leaves both of them in their most comfortable role, allows Darrell to work his way back in smoothly, and lets Davis continue his line of progress with the starters.
Rest Zach until the Denver game. Let him heal. Bring him back rested. In fact, pull a Popovic and send Zach to Denver early for some "special therapy", and let him work out in the high altitude to get acclimated.
I have seen some "expert's" opining out there, saying the Grizz could go 0 for 4 on this trip, and that they will be lucky to win one game, very lucky if they split. Nope.
Go win the Portland game with the lineup you have been playing with Davis at power forward, and Darrell off the bench.
Take your best shot in LA with that same lineup on the 2nd night of the B2B. If the game gets away, get the starters some rest.
Meet the well-rested, ready-to-rumble Zach Randolph in Denver, and do everything within your power to win this game.
Take care of business in Utah.
Return home from the killer road trip having won 3 of 4 or better, and a firm grip on the three seed.
Travel day.
Rest and prepare day...
Welcome the Oklahomers to the GrindHouse
Wadaya think? I am looking for counter strategies or adjustments to this one.

Last Spring Second Life was approached by the Campus Activities Complex at MIT and asked to modify the original oak and steel lectern designed by Eero Saarinen for Kresge auditorium. Their challenge was to retain the look which the famous designer intended while adapting the scale to accommodate a laptop computer. Streamlining the prototype, they retained the original angles while stretching the surface and lowering the height of the light box.
In the past month they have turned a beam of solid teak into a lovely ebonized Victorian tray table, while last summer they got together with a familiar client to turn out a high gloss metallic lacquer prayer bench.
A customer recently asked to have a pair of bedroom dressers Refinished which had been handed down by her mother to her when she was a young woman. At that time, just out on her own, she took one of these two mahogany art deco pieces and painted it yellow, then antiqued it in a French provincial style. The folks at Second Life carefully removed the paint and restored the pieces to their original look, with a deep mahogany stain and hand rubbed lacquer finish.
As the saying goes, no job is too big or too small. The team at Second Life loves to work at creating and Restoring Furniture, those valued items which you would like to keep forever.

Costa Rican Development Corporation Enjoys Investors' Elevated Interest in Cerro Fresco Community During Period of Weak US Economy
Even though real estate investment markets in the United States have recently experienced a definite slow down, Costa Rican Development Corporation is welcoming the heightened interest of foreign investors in the newly developed Cerro Fresco community.
During this current period of weak economy and sluggish real esta
te markets in the United States, foreign investors are turning to Costa Rica to find real estate investment deals, such as those offered by the Costa Rican Development Corporation (CRDC). The Costa Rica real estate market is currently one of the most popular and fastest-growing markets for retirement and vacation residences, attracting investors from all over the world.
The Costa Rican Development Corporation's luxury gated community, Cerro Fresco, is one of the real estate investment opportunities attracting foreign investors to this tropical country. The Cerro Fresco development caters to the high-end investor, offering elegant Balinese bungalow villas filled with first class extras. Bob Garcia, Cerro Fresco's Internet Marketing Consultant, said, "In a time when the big international real estate markets are proving to be a detriment to investors, CerroFresco.com, backed by the Costa Rican Development Corporation, is offering a haven for investors seeking serious investing potential and profit."
With its 802 miles of coastline, abundant wildlife, waterfalls, rainforests, and plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy, Costa Rica has become a desired tourist destination, with nearly two million foreign travelers visiting the country in 2007. The appeal of Costa Rica extends into the area of lucrative investment opportunities, and the Costa Rica real estate market is experiencing a boom, both in terms of retirees purchasing retirement residences and eager investors buying residences with the intent of making a profit.
Located in Jaco´, the fastest growing area of Central Pacific Costa Rica, The Costa Rican Development Corporation's Cerro Fresco (www.cerrofresco.com/) is experiencing an increased interest in its exquisitely designed villas. The stylish residences are constructed using native Costa Rica woods and the most up-to-date appliances and amenities. Cerro Fresco is situated 1,500 above sea level, giving residents beautiful unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, waterfalls, rainforests and tropical gardens.
Placing an emphasis on client satisfaction, Cerro Fresco promises "an alluring quality of life experience." Cerro Fresco's Web site guides the viewer through photographs of one of their Balinese bungalow villas as well as the restaurant and spa located on the premises.

u.s. nuclear industry faces uncertainty
There are many lessons that the US can incorporate from the current Japanese nuclear crisis. Nuclear power that recently has grown in acceptance here in America, may now have an uncertain future as the ramifications unfold in Japan for public safety.
Environmental groups are reassessing their willingness to see nuclear power as a linchpin of any future climate change legislation. Mr. Obama still sees nuclear power as a major element of future American energy policy, but he is injecting a new tone of caution into his endorsement.
"The president believes that meeting our energy needs means relying on a diverse set of energy sources that includes renewables like wind and solar, natural gas, clean coal and nuclear power," said Clark Stevens, a White House spokesman. "Information is still coming in about the events unfolding in Japan, but the administration is committed to learning from them and ensuring that nuclear energy is produced safely and responsibly here in the U.S."
In Mr. Obama's State of the Union address and in his budget, he proposed an expansion of nuclear energy technology and $36 billion in Department of Energy loan guarantees for the construction of as many as 20 new nuclear plants.
That policy will be on the table at a hearing of the Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday, when Steven Chu, the energy secretary, and Gregory B. Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, are scheduled to testify.

Which team will finish with the worst record? Forrester: Kings. Kevin Martin is going to face the type of defensive attention reserved for superstars. Also, the Kings were one of the worst defensive teams by any measure last season, and that was with Artest on the floor. How easy do you think it will be to score on the Kings this season with Artest in Houston?

He's of course referring to Kansas, which is in the NCAA Final Four. Danny Manning, currently an assistant at KU until the Jayhawks' season comes to an end, is in New Orleans helping Kansas as it prepares to take on Ohio State.
Evan Manning, who graduated from Free State High School in Lawrence last year, is currently attending New Hampton Prep in New Hampshire.

Governor, Admiral Address Graduates at ODU's December Commencement Ceremonies
Old Dominion University graduates received words of wisdom from two inspiring speakers during commencement exercises Saturday, Dec. 18.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and retired U.S. Navy Adm. William J. Fallon addressed more than 1,100 graduates at ODU's 113th commencement ceremonies, held at the Ted Constant Convocation Center. They spoke of character, integrity and responsibilities the new graduates will face.
McDonnell spoke at the 9 a.m. ceremony to graduates of the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology, Darden College of Education and College of Sciences. Fallon, who received an honorary doctorate of science, addressed graduates of the College of Arts and Letters, College of Business and Public Administration and College of Health Sciences at the 2 p.m. ceremony.
"America is the land of opportunities, not guarantees," McDonnell told graduates at the morning ceremony. The governor said that big dreams are recognized through hard work and stellar values.
"Live each day, life passes too quickly," he said. Recognizing the service of ODU graduate Kyle Middleton '08, who was recently killed in Afghanistan, McDonnell underscored the price of service at home and abroad. "Every day people are giving their best. Be great, serve one another."
In his closing remarks, McDonnell said, "You will have more opportunities than you can imagine. Hard work, integrity and divine providence will help you make your mark on Virginia and the world."
The 71st governor of the commonwealth of Virginia, McDonnell has spent his career in public service. He served as a Virginia Beach prosecutor beginning in 1989 and was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1991, where he served 14 years representing Virginia Beach. In 2005, McDonnell was elected the 44th attorney general of Virginia.
At the afternoon ceremony, Fallon told the graduates, "You're particularly blessed with this educational opportunity and your experience here at Old Dominion. Use these gifts to make a difference in the world. Get fired up. Let's get to work, living your life with enthusiasm and passion, and let's get some results."
Noting the increasing importance of international affairs to the country's future, he stressed the need for a broad understanding of people, history and cultures, saying that today's graduates will be depended upon for their knowledge and understanding of critical issues. "Let's stop looking for others to do what needs to be done," he said.
Fallon also offered the following advice: "As you leave here, no matter what your chosen path in life, keep in mind the importance of values and high standards, and doing the right thing, even when it may not be popular, and even when no one is looking."
In closing, he offered some final thoughts on success and happiness. Among them:
"Act with honor, dignity and grace."
"Do something and take nothing in return. I think you'll find you like it."
Fallon, a 1982 graduate of ODU's master's program in international studies, retired from the U.S. Navy in 2008 after a distinguished 40-year career of military and strategic leadership. He led U.S. and allied forces in eight separate commands and played a leadership role in military and diplomatic matters at the highest levels of government. Currently CEO of the cyber-security firm NeuralIQ, Fallon is also a partner in Tilwell Petroleum LLC.
During the ceremonies, the university awarded honorary degrees to Katherine Johnson, a pioneer of the American space movement, and retired Landmark Media executive Bruce Bradley. Johnson received an honorary doctorate of science at the morning ceremony and Bradley received an honorary doctorate of humane letters in the afternoon.
Six graduates were recognized as Alumni Association Outstanding College Scholars. English major Heather Wood, a December graduate who had a 4.0 cumulative GPA in the College of Arts and Letters, was named the overall Outstanding University Scholar.
The other Outstanding College Scholars are:
Business ad Public Administration - Manuela Johnson, international business, 3.97, August graduate
Education - Elizabeth Bickel, human services 4.0, December graduate
Engineering and Technology - Michael Dominice, computer engineering, 3.91, December graduate
Health Sciences - Brandi Trounce, nursing, 4.0, August graduate
Sciences - Tracy Thornton, ocean and earth sciences, 4.0, December graduate.
Both commencement ceremonies were video streamed live and can be accessed starting Sunday, Dec. 19, from the university's home page at www.odu.edu.

We all know that a cholesterol tests can identify the risk of heart trouble. But have you heard about the Plac-test? That is also a simple blood test that measures an enzyme called lp-pla-2 which is attached to ldl the bad cholesterol. That enzyme releases chemicals that trigger a response making plac more prone to rupture against the artery wall.
The Plac-test has been FDA approved for six-years, Dr. Bradley Bale said on HealthWise at 5 Thursday, that this test can find hidden clues that a heart attack or stroke may be coming even in people who seem healthy with no risk factors for heart disease.
"In West Texas we screened 417-people who were found to be low risk by traditional risk factors. They had one or less major risk factors. But a third of those people had elevated Plac-2.
He says that is also a proven indicator of heart attacks or strokes. Dr. Bale is scheduled to present those findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in March. In the meantime, if you would like more information on the Plac-test, (Click Here).

Intelligence Testing Article AnalysisIntelligence is one of those vague terms by which a person knows it when they see it—but to map out its exact dimensions—that is an entirely different matter. One thing is clear though, outside the realm of cultural context, intelligence cannot be meaningfully explicated (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). This is in part because any test questions meant to score intelligence might not have the same meaning in every culture. Furthermore, at its very core, intelligence is the ability to know and understand the world—internal and external—to the end of overcoming obstacles, attaining goals, and adjusting to changing conditions (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). This "working definition" is a good place to start when discussing intelligence, but a more culturally precise definition must take into account the theories behind intelligence testing and the effectiveness of intelligence testing itself.
Theory of Multiple IntelligencesHoward Gardner proposed in the late 80's a comprehensive set of intelligences—with the addition of one more in the mid-90s—that could explain the full panorama of human intelligence (Klein, 1997). Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (MI) include, "…linguistic, logical-mathematic, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal…intrapersonal…[and] naturalistic" (Klein, 1997, p. 377). Furthermore, Gardner went on to stipulate that he defined intelligences as no more or less than a, "…bio-psychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems and create products that are of value in a culture" (Goodnough, 2002, n.p.). So, the theory of MI is firmly grounded in cultural context and predicated on the useful potentiality of problem solving to the end of applicable tasks in a cultural setting. Goodnough (2002) goes on to posit that this conceptual definition of intelligence, along with the cosmopolitan understanding of MI that Gardner puts forth, informs a teachers, "…subject matter, curriculum, instruction…strengths and weaknesses" (n.p.). However, Klein (1997) counters that the broad scope and all-encompassing approach of MI negates, or at the very least minimizes, the applicability of the theory in any specific teaching task. In all, MI has inspired a wide variety of new teaching practices and methods, but is limited by its non-specific relevance and broad applicability.
PASS TheoryThe utility of the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS), as built upon the underlying theory of planning, attention, simultaneous, and successive cognitive processes (PASS), is constructed upon its ability to find gifted and talented individuals that would not usually be singled out through traditional IQ tests (Naglieri & Kaufman, 2001). Traditional IQ tests center only analytics skills almost exclusively, which does not take into consideration other types of intelligence (e.g. PASS). As an example, Johannes, Kroesbergen & Naglieri (2005) conducted an implementation of CAS on 51 Dutch children that were diagnoses with ADHD. The conclusion of the test was that even though these children scored low on attention and planning scales, they scored exceptionally high on simultaneous and successive scales. According to these results, even though ADHD does have a significant influence on attention, those deficits do not translate over into an overall cognitive deficit in the areas of simultaneous and successive cognitive tasks. Moreover, traditional IQ tests are based on a static, outdated theory of intelligence that relies on the correlation between IQ scores and achievement, never taking into consideration that intelligence might be fluid and evolving. The PASS theory, as implemented through CAS, seeks to overcome these shortfalls and explain intelligence in a more contextual, dynamic sense.
Intelligence TestingAs mentioned beforehand, the downfall of traditional intelligence quotient (IQ) testing is that they are built upon the notion that intelligence is largely analytical in nature and static. The psychometric approach to intelligence, as used in IQ tests, desires to place a numerical value on intelligence, thereby reducing the complexity of cognition and cognitive potential to a single number (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). This number is a percentage—in relation to other people's scores—and therefore is a matter of rations rather than sums altogether. Intelligence tests must take into account the daily activities within a culture to be applicable to the cross-cultural assessment of intelligence. Without the variable of culturally activity being taken into account intelligence tests are little more than a measure of unrelated, non-applicable cognitive structures that might not even be of any importance in certain cultures.
ConclusionIn sum, Gardner's definition of intelligence adds the dimensions of cognitive potentially, cultural utility, and multiple intelligences to the "working definition" of intelligence mentioned at the beginning of the paper. Also, PASS explains that intelligence can be measured through more than simple analytical ability, but must take into account planning, attention, simultaneous, and successive cognitive processes as a foundational basis of intelligence. Last, the IQ test is only adequate to determine static intelligence within one cultural setting, but is severely limited by no cross-cultural basis for comparison. A parsimonious definition of intelligence—which considers MI, PASS, and IQ tests—must necessarily include the utilization of problem solving strategies, actual or potential, to the end of overcoming obstacles, attaining goals, and adjusting to changing conditions, through the multiple avenues of MI theory, built upon the foundation of PASS theory, and operating upon the assumption that tests are only applicable when they take into account cultural activities.

…Sustained discussion of the human propensity towards self-deception has all but disappeared from twentieth-century analyses of the spiritual life. There are, of course, still specialists in philosophy and psychology working out the details. But, for most of us, self-deception simply doesn't jump immediately to mind as an explanation of our experience. We rarely think of it. Lots of people I talk to have never so much as considered the possibility that they've fallen prey to it in any significant way. One is reminded here of the haunting suggestion in Bishop Butler's tenth sermon that "those who have never had any suspicion of, who have never made allowances for this weakness in themselves, who have never (if I may be allowed such a manner of speaking) caught themselves in it, may almost take it for granted that they have been very much misled by it."

Following the example of Jesus has everything to do with understanding self-deception, of which the cross is a consequence.
And it is one thing to denigrate orthodoxy; it is another to challenge biblical literalism, and question the scientific worldview of those who lived 2000 years ago. When we argue that the trinity does not explain that God has a life, then call us heretics.June 28, 11:49 am | [comment link]

Katherine, cross was an event that exposed to all parties the lies we tell ourselves about who we are. Most religion mystifies religion; it gives people a little prison to justify themselves. The cross exposes our defense mechanisms as idol making - and finally violent. Any person who thinks they can't deceive themselves is vain, and participates in the crucifixion. Jesus broke the cycle when he came to us and forgave us for being so deluded.
Orthodoxy isn't the same as biblical literalism. Orthodoxy is, finally, about the recognition that the trinity is true, an accurate description of God's life and spirit here.June 28, 1:59 pm | [comment link]

6. Timothy Fountain wrote:
Thanks, John and Katharine, I was pretty vague in #1. When I speak of orthodoxy, I mean statements about God that have a communal reception. This involves some testing that lifts them above the individual opinion and its propensity for self-deception.
But even the 39 Articles admit that Councils err, so nothing is perfect - but with councils there can be a church effort to make correction which, again, expands the discernment and formulation of "right statement" beyond that of any individual.
The "example of Jesus" requires some "right saying" about Jesus to have any coherence. Without this, the individual will largely project him/herself onto Jesus, using "fundamentalist" proof texting, as John points out, or a "hermeneutic" ("justice", "inclusion", etc.) that predefines Jesus with the acceptance of some and exclusion of other Biblical passages.
I don't want to denigrate that language of "following Jesus' example", after all, he says "Take up your cross and follow me." But the work of orthodoxy gives us some sense of why we should bother to follow such a command from this particular figure, where he's headed and other aspects of the Biblical witness that will be dropped if we, as individuals, decide for ourselves to make him an exemplar of whatever we already like.
Orthodoxy is also the ground of humility, IMO, because it posits mysteries that can't be probed except by, well, the effort to follow the example of Jesus! The two really go together, of course, and I sound like I'm splitting them - my apologies.June 28, 2:14 pm | [comment link]

[NEWS] 121016 Sean takes the children to preschool every day in place of their busy mother, "A thoughtful and considerate action."
Sean has shown a much heated affection toward his family.
On the October 16th episode of SBS 'Good Morning', artist Sean was revealed taking his daughter, Roh Haeum, and son, Roh Harang, to preschool every morning.
Sean spoke, "My wife, Jung Hyeyoung, usually won't sign up for any other schedules (or tasks) in the morning if she already has other busy work to do. So in return, I'm in charge of the role of taking our children to preschool." It has been widely revealed that Roh Haeum and Roh Harang receive much popularity in school due to their adorable appearance.
After dropping his daughter Roh Haeum off in class, Sean was unable to easily turn and walk away, worry casting over him. He continuously watched his daughter from afar. Accordingly, Sean gave a sweet kiss good-bye to both his children, showing an affectionate and fatherly side of himself.

By Robin Jedlicka - bio | email LOWNDES COUNTY, GA (WALB) - While the flooding on Gornto Road is finally starting to recede, many parts of Lowndes County are still experiencing significant flooding.
Franks Creek Bridge on Shiloh road is completely submerged. Flood waters still surround more than one hundred houses, and Georgia Power has been forced to cut off electricity to eighty-seven of them.
"We're in the process now of getting our assessment numbers together so that we can submit, through the State of Georgia, to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and hopefully obtain some assistance for our residents who do not have flood insurance," says Lowndes County Public Information Officer Paige Dukes.
County and city crews have already started the clean-up process. In areas like the Meadowbrook subdivision, recovery seems a long way away. There, Sugar Creek, which feeds into the Withlacoochee, rose over four feet.
"We knew there was a creek back there, but never in our dreams would it have come across the street and all the way up into the yards on the other side of Meadowbrook," says David Nelson, whose son's home was severely damaged. "It was just overwhelming."
The Lowndes County, Lake Park, and Hahira Health Clinics are offering free Tetanus shots to anyone who works or lives in flooded areas.
With such severe damage, the county expects many storm victims to be unable to return home. "Right now, we're looking at some long term sheltering," says Dukes. "It's going to take quite a while for the water to recede, and for us to clean these homes up to the to the extent that they can be repaired. We're going to have to find some places for some of our citizens to stay during that period."
Lowndes County is running an Emergency Management Hotline. They encourage citizens to call 229-671-2400 for information on flooding and road conditions, and to report all storm damage--no matter how small.

Yesterday morning it was six Ukrainian designers' turns to show their collections during London fashion week on a Fashion Scout platform (Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days' showcase), and as I am an avid supporter of my country and the creative director of its main fashion event, the aforementioned Kiev Fashion Days, I was there to help and inspire them. The great thing about London is that it is so welcoming to young designers, no matter what country they hail from. That is probably why we received such attention from the industry experts, and even Sara Maino from Vogue Italia, known for discovering new talent around the world, has posted a couple of looks from the show on the magazine's Instagram account, where they received tons of likes.
Lia Syn; RCR Khomenko
After seeing a bunch of shows yesterday, I spent my evening in the greatest company possible: with the irreverent Carine Roitfeld. I was invited to a screening of the new documentary about the extraordinary stylist and editor, Mademoiselle C, organized at the Mayfair Hotel by Karla Otto.
The movie will be presented in Paris during fashion week, and was already shown in New York. It is not only a must-see because it shows the whole creative process of Carine's magazine, CR Fashion Book, but also because it inspires a lot. Carine is definitely the ultimate fashion icon, and the most important thoughts she shares in the film are so effecting that you can't not fall in love with everything she says and does. Her secret to success? I bet it's her family. Apart from being a great stylist, she is the perfect mother and, recently, grandmother. And that's what you can't learn—it's only a question of talent.

FGCU Men's Tennis Earns Top-20 National Ranking
Thursday, December 01, 2005
Requires Adobe Flash
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University men's tennis team has been ranked among the top-20 programs in Division II in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Fall Rankings. The Eagles men are ranked 17th nationally and fifth in the Southeast Region heading into the spring season. Last year the men finished ninth nationally and advanced to the NCAA Division II Southeast Region semifinals. As they look for their second straight NCAA tournament appearance, FGCU will look to two of the top ranked singles players in the country to lead the way. Senior Juan Carlos Osorio, who was the national runner-up in the ITA Division II Singles Championships this fall, will begin the spring season ranked No. 3 in the nation and first in the Southeast Region for singles players. Junior Alberto Gutierrez, who advanced to the ITA Southeast Region quarterfinals before losing to Osorio, is ranked 46th nationally and ninth in the region. Osorio and senior Tim Offerman start the year as the No. 7 doubles tandem in the Southeast. The Eagles open up their season on February 4 in a men's and women's doubleheader at Webber International at 11 a.m.

A 13-month-old Lubbock girl is dead Wednesday night after drowning in her bathtub.
Police say no one was watching the toddler when she drowned around 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. However, two other children were in the bathtub with her. They were only one and two years old and it's unsure if all the toddlers were related or not.
Police say there was an adult male in the house when the girl drowned, but police add he was not watching the children in the tub. And from what neighbors say, there's some confusion as to who actually lived in the house. But whoever does live there hasn't lived there long.
"They'd just been there for a couple weeks I think. I'd just seen them when I went to work at 7:30. I seen them out there one time, just the two ladies or two girls, I don't know, but I never seen any kids," said one neighbor.
This is an active homicide investigation. Police consider any investigation where someone has died a homicide investigation until they can prove otherwise.
There are still many unanswered questions and police offer this warning to anyone who watches young children.
"Be sure that anytime your kids are in water or around water that there's adult supervision right there watching what they're doing," said Lt. Scott Hudgens.
We're still working to find out who the man in the house was, his relationship to the children in the bathtub and why the kids were unattended. Charges have not been filed against anyone at this time.

My family and I rented this house in early August of 2014 and had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and clean. It was walking distance from the lake, pool, and tennis courts. My family of 5 fit in without trouble. The beds were comfortable and the reclining chair in the living room was also very enjoyable. The kitchen was fully equipped with very nice plates and silverware. We loved grilling and eating on the back porch every evening. The property is well-kept and the pool is beautiful. The stay is really worth it, and the owner did a great job making the interior seem cozy and inviting. She was a pleasure to do business with and called to check up on us when we arrived and how we were settling in. She always offered to help with any questions we may have had. In conclusion, this stay was really worth the money and my whole family loved it. I would recommend it to anyone.
The home was lovely
My cousin family and I rented Constance house #123048 for a weekend of April 25 and we had a wonderful time. The home was lovely. The house was exactly as via the web photos. The rooms were spacious and clean. The Mickey Mouse children's room was beautiful for our kids. The kitchen was well equipped. There was a beautiful lake, and we had a great time using the boats. I definitely recommend this home to anyone, or any family that is looking to get away for the weekend. Constance was extremely responsive to all my questions and very helpful. She gave me info for our weekend activities. Our kids enjoyed a lot, we feel like our home and we'll back for sure. Alexandra Marcela Vazquez New Jersey

Following are whispers we've been hearing from around the league:
• Head coach Gary Kubiak is signed through the 2012 season, but word is he likely needs a winning record this season to remain at the helm in '12. Owner Bob McNair has been extremely loyal to Kubiak, but last season's regression makes it difficult for McNair not to make a move if improvements aren't made in a hurry.
• The way we hear it, the Titans' decision to extend the contract of GM Mike Reinfeldt through the 2014 season makes a lot of sense. The deal had been in the works for a while, as Reinfeldt was entering the final year of his old contract, and it brings some much-needed stability to an organization that has been lacking in that department lately.
• Executive vice president of football operations John Elway said the Broncos have had no contact on a possible trade for the No. 2 overall pick, but added that calls still could come closer to draft day. One daily team observer said he doesn't expect the Broncos to drop any lower than No. 6 if they decide to trade the pick.
• As the only team without a first-round pick, the Raiders will be forced to take a wait-and-see approach to the draft. The team would like to take a quarterback with their first selection — the 48th overall — but there is expected to be a run on that position late in the first round and early in the second, leaving Oakland to see who the best signalcaller remaining is before they choose. If a suitable QB isn't on the board, cornerback and offensive line are the likely areas the team will address.
• We hear it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that one of the first orders of business for the Rams once free agency finally begins will be to re-sign WR Mark Clayton. By all accounts, Clayton should be fully healed from the knee injury that ended his 2010 season in Week Five at Detroit. "That's definitely not a reach," one team source said of the speculation that re-signing Clayton is considered a top priority. "It really is amazing how quickly he clicked last season with (QB Sam) Bradford."
• Regarding where the Rams' training camp will be held this summer, we hear it's between Rolla, Mo., and Carbondale, Ill., with Rolla probably having a slight edge because of logistics, even though Carbondale has really upgraded its facilities.
• Word is the Packers probably will re-sign free-agent PK Mason Crosby, who despite his strong leg (his 56-yard field goal in Week One was the longest in the NFC last season) is not expected to attract an overwhelming amount of interest because of his lack of game-winning kicks (only 1-of-4 in his four-year career).
• Our Seahawks sources believe free-agent OL Tyler Polumbus, who did a decent job replacing Russell Okung when the first-round left tackle was injured last season, is a very good bet to be re-signed. "They really like his versatility," one team insider said. "He had starts at left tackle, left guard and right tackle last season, and he could probably play right guard, too, if need be."
• Even though it would appear the 49ers are well-stocked at tight end with Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker and second-year pro Nate Byham, we hear new head coach Jim Harbaugh still might find it hard to resist spending a draft pick on another player at the position. "Harbaugh just loves tight ends," one team insider said. "He used three of them (Coby Fleener, Zach Ertz and Konrad Reuland) to help Stanford kill Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl."
• Our Cardinals sources believe it's worth keeping an eye on CB A.J. Jefferson, an undrafted rookie last season who saw action in a couple of games. It seems quite possible Jefferson will replace veteran backup Trumaine McBride, who has not been tendered.
• While the mystery of who the Bills will take with the third pick continues, GM Buddy Nix dropped an interesting hint about where the team's defensive focus lies. He said that stopping the run is more important than rushing the passer. The Bills were dead last in the league in run defense last season and 27th in sacks. If you sift through the smokescreen, the Bills could be apt to take Alabama DT Marcell Dareus, not Texas A&M OLB Von Miller, if both are available. It is doubtful both are there at No. 3, but the Bills apparently would be perfectly fine with Dareus if Miller goes to the Broncos.
• While many people have pegged a nose tackle, such as Baylor's Phil Taylor, to go to the Jets with the 30th pick, the team does have some depth with young players along the D-line. GM Mike Tannenbaum said in the team's pre-draft press conference that he thinks one of those players, Marcus Dixon, is "going to be a good football player for us." Dixon played in three games last season, recording four tackles.
• Just what do the Panthers expect from their one-year investment in TE Jeremy Shockey, which will cost them at least $1 million and as much as $3.8 million? We hear they'll be satisfied if he plays at least three-quarters of the season and serves as a safety valve in the passing game for whoever ends up playing quarterback. Shockey, heading into his 10th season, has never played a full 16-game season and has missed at least three games in each of the past three seasons.
• Aside from LS Andrew Economos, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon this offseason, the Buccaneers are happy about the health situation with their players. While teams have been barred from communicating with players during the lockout, team doctors can work with players as long as it's not at the club's facility and the doctors can report back to the team. The Bucs are optimistic key young players like WR Arrelious Benn (ACL tear), DT Brian Price (pelvis surgery) and DT Gerald McCoy (torn biceps) will be ready for training camp.
• As he rehabilitates from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, Steelers P Daniel Sepulveda is primarily working to regain his explosiveness, he told PFW. Sepulveda, who had his four-month postsurgery checkup earlier in April, said the timetable for total recovery from the injury is eight months. Expressing sentiments similar to the last time he was coming back from an ACL tear in 2009, Sepulveda said he does not anticipate having much trouble regaining his punting stroke when he is able to again kick fully. "It's a lot like riding a bike," he said.
• General manager Tom Heckert believes the Browns' defensive line, which seems to lack standouts other than DT Ahtyba Rubin, is in relatively good shape. Asked about the linemen other than Rubin at his pre-draft press conference, Heckert said, according to the club: "We have the guys that we have on our team and that's what we have right now. We'll see what happens with (potential UFA DE) Jayme (Mitchell), but we think they are serviceable guys. They really are. Are they elite guys? I don't know if we had elite guys last year and I think we were all right. We will find players."

3.28/5 rDev +0.6%
Pours a dark coffee colour with some light showing through. Head is tan, dense and creamy. Looks pretty nice.
Smells... a little odd. Chocolate malt notes with a touch of roast and lots of US hop character - fruity and citric, but a touch of phenol as well. Odd.
Taste is not bad. Dark and vinous for the most part, with notes of red wine and clove vying for the mid-palate in particular. Quite phenolic on the back and a touch of roast overall. Not bad, but an odd blend between vinous and dark notes.
Thin body lets a touch of alcohol heat through, as well as a bit of carbonation.
Not a bad beer, but a bit muddled, and I'm not getting a lot of peat from it at all.

3.25/5 rDev -0.3%
A "hoppy, peated, Belgian black" is the style attributed to this beer. Sure, let's see where this goes. Tried on-tap at the 2013 GABS festival in Melbourne.
Pours a roasted brown colour with some hazing, and a slightly gelatinous body. Head is solid and fine, mocha-hued, that leaves decent rings down the glass as lacing. No visible carbonation. Looks pretty good.
Nose is vinous initially with a sweetness like raisins that also somewhat suggests garbage sitting in the sun. More acidity (something I really didn't expect), grape juice and a faint, vague toasted character. Despite the weirdnesses, it's all pretty light.
Light rounded entry on the palate before the acidity comes through again, a musty fruit skin character. I don't get much in the way of hops, and certainly no peat-smoke. On the back the palate just drops out all together—further cementing this as a weak beer. Nothing on the aftertaste but a slight remembrance of roast and acid.
Feel is light and clean, but empty.
I'm not a fan. Mostly, it's just dry and dull, but the characters it does have tend towards unpleasantness. Not something I'd seek out again.

Harmonix and Konami Settle Lawsuits Over Music Game PatentsBloomberg reports that Harmonix and Konami have dropped lawsuits aimed at one another over patents relating to music video games. The original suit by Konami in July 2008 was met with a counter-suit from Harmonix in February 2009.
The terms of the settlement were not released, but both companies have dropped the lawsuit against the other. Konami's lawsuit was built upon a 1999 patent for a "musical-rhythm matching game" being infringed upon by Harominx's 2007 patent for "a game controller simulating a musical instrument."
Harmonix and MTV Games' counter-suit against Konami argued that Harmonix represented improvements on Konami's original filing and that Rock Revolution actually had more in common with Rock Band than with prior games from Konami such as Drum Mania or Guitar Freaks.
Rock Band 3 is due out on October 26. Konami has not announced a follow-up to Rock Revolution.

Federal Judge OKs Plan to Release Defendant in ATF Robbery Case If He Writes Book Reports
Posted May 15, 2012 11:43 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A federal judge in California has OKed a magistrate's plan to release to his grandmother's custody a 23-year-old defendant accused of participating in a claimed robbery of an agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, if he reads and writes daily book reports.
Otis Mobley Jr. must also post $150,000 bond and wear an ankle monitor under the plan approved Monday by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
The newspaper says Rogers plans to provide Mobley with a reading list.
He is accused, along with two other defendants in the Oakland case, of arranging to sell a grenade launcher to an undercover ATF agent for $1,000. But this allegedly was just a ruse for a robbery of the agent, which resulted in gunplay by the feds when backup agents rushed in to protect their colleague after the trio drew on him.
The judge delayed Mobley's release until Tuesday to give the government a chance to appeal. Prosecutors contend he is a flight risk.

Function of hot stone
The hot stone has the function of detoxification, the heat of hot stone can help rid the body of toxins, and the hot stone contains minerals as well as absorption of essential oils with their own cosmetic effect, which is easily absorbed by the skin when the temperature increase, the weight of the stone itself can pressure on the human body and acupuncture points with a soothing relaxation to achieve the role of the body. The use of the hot stone with some slimming, whitening effect of essential oil, or foot patch is among the most popular methods of care, hot stone massage set. Hot stone can replace beautician hand. You may be surprised, we always said that the hands are the most dexterous tool, then why use the hot stone to take the place of the hands of the beautician? This is because the stone has a good thermal insulation property, and when it is heated to a certain temperature, it will be maintained for a long period of time, and the high temperature makes the essential oils absorbed penetrate deep in the skin, which can also be applied simultaneously to the human body improving the efficiency of care.

Both team's number ones face each other: Tim Hudson for the Braves, Stephen Strasburg for the Nats.
Ramiro Pena did such a good job yesterday, he's rewarded with a start today!
- B.J. Upton - CF
- Jason Heyward - RF
- Justin Upton - LF
- Evan Gattis - C
- Dan Uggla - 2B
- Juan Francisco - 3B
- Chris Johnson - 1B
- Ramiro Pena - SS
- Tim Hudson - P
Last night's game brought back fond memories of the 9-0 comeback last year against the Nats, and Strasburg started that game. The Nats will have the same lineup 1-7 with Wilson Ramos doing the catching for Strasburg and batting eighth.
In 2012, Hudson gave up at least four runs in each of his three starts against Washington, all of them losses. Let's hope he can turn his recent bad luck against them around and keep this winning streak going.
The game will be one of three televised on FOX (TB/BOS and SF/CHC are the others) and, as usual, will be broadcast on radio at AM 680.

10 out of 10 says Larouche
By Matt Casavant
Waves were made over the weekend when Interbox president & Lucian Bute promoter, Jean Bedard made it known via his twitter account that Bute (31-1, 24KOs) was ready to challenge Jean Pascal (27-2-1, 16KOs) at anytime. This sparked headlines largely due to the fact Interbox had rarely if ever acknowledge in the past the possibility of a Bute-Pascal fight, one that has been mauled over by fight fans in this province and country for quite some time now.
It's also been announced that Lucian Bute will be fighting on the undercard of the Pascal-Dawson light-heavyweight championship rematch May 25th at the Bell Centre. Bute's next opponent is unknown at the moment, however one name that has been mentioned as a potential candidate is the veteran Sakio Bika (31-5-2, 21KOs), who Bute defeated back in 2007 via decision. In fact Jean Bedard and Bute's trainer Stephan Larouche were in attendance this past Saturday in Atlantic City, in part to witness the Sakio Bika-Nikola Sjekloca (25-1,7KOs) Super Middleweight WBC Final eliminator showdown. Bika emerged victorious with a convincing albeit boring beatdown over Sjekloca, presumably rendering the thought of a Bute-Bika rematch less enticing for the boxing powerhouse HBO network.
Figthnews.ca caught up with Stephan Larouche last week prior to the Bika-Sjekloca fight, as Larouche raved glowingly about the possibility of a Bute-Pascal fight happening sometime in the future...
Fightnews: On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rank a potential Bute-Pascal fight happening sometime down the road?
Larouche: 10 out of 10! I think if you look at Jean Pascal, you look at Carl Froch, when they fought it was a really good fight, I think Froch got the edge by the end of the fight and I think if there's no Carl Froch (rematch), who would people like to see and who would Luican like to fight? No one else than Jean Pascal. Even here in Montreal, big show, big setup. Lucian would love to do it!
Fightnews: So the fight fans in this province can finally expect a Bute-Pascal fight to come to fruition?
Larouche: I think that if Lucian fights Jean Pascal in Quebec, boxing will win; boxing will be the winner out of it. It's going to be bigger than our sport, it's going to be the talk of the town, it's going to be huge, amazing! I don't know if the Bell Centre is going to be big enough, maybe the Olympic Stadium. It has to be well promoted and I think it would be an amazing fight, maybe one fight, maybe a rematch, maybe a rubber match!
Fightnews: Any part of you hoping Bute can shut up some of the criticism Pascal has given him?
Larouche: Well you know Jean likes to talk and this is Jean's trademark. You have to respect that he's always been like this; he's that type of guy. Lucian is a quiet man which makes it an even better fight, a better promotion.
