LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Nearly three years after the Vines family lost their daughter to a tragic car accident, the family is releasing a new book about their struggles to cope with her death and their faith in God.
On September 2nd 2008, Lubbock Cooper senior Kelsey Vines and her twin sister Kayla were coming home from basketball practice when a 40,000 pound dump truck swerved into their lane hitting their car.
Kelsey was driving and died on the scene; her sister survived.
"Somehow I knew it was Kelsey. I just knew, and when I got the confirmation that it was I was just on the ground," cried Becky Vines, Kelsey's mother.
It took a year after Kelsey's death before her father Thom decided to write the book titled "Tragedy and Trust: Can You Still Trust in God after Losing a Child."
"I didn't know how he was going to be able to do it because I knew that I couldn't," said Becky. "It's just too painful, too hard."
"The first chapter is about the accident, and of course that was by far the most difficult chapter to write," said Thom. "But the book has an operative question: Can you trust God after you lose a child? And we all struggled with that, but we all came to conclusion. Yes, you still can."
While the whole family gave their input for the book, Thom asked Kelsey's boyfriend at the time of her death, John Michael Vestal, to help co-write the book in order to incorporate all different angles of the grieving process.
"For those 11 months it was perfect, it was really good that's what made it so hard," said John Michael about his relationship with Kelsey. "But through the book you see the path that we went on from the accident to where I am now, which is the last chapter. It just shows how God brought us through everything."
Through the book, Kelsey's memory will live on with all proceeds going toward two $2,000 memorial scholarships for Lubbock Cooper High School students. The family also hopes the book will touch others and help them with their losses.
"It's just a good book for someone going through the same thing that we're going through," said Becky.
"If I hadn't been a Christian when we lost Kelsey…I don't know how someone gets through it," said Thom. "The story, it's never really over. God keeps showing us new things."
The family will hold a book signing on Kelsey's birthday on April 7th at Lubbock Cooper High School only for students and staff. There will also be a book signing open to the public at Barnes and Noble on April 9th.
The book can be found online at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com.

Watching the game this week I couldn't help but wince and cheer in excitement all at once. I know "Handshake Gate" has been dominating the news lately, but my concern has always been the play of the game. That said, lets get to what the game showed us.
The Good:
- this defense continues to keep the 49ers in games. It was true two years ago, last year, and this year is no exception.
- offensive game planning, at least for the running game but top notch. Daryl Johnston (yes weird a 49ers fan complimenting him, he is a good commentator) pointed it out best that they were taking Suh out of the game by making sure he is being blocked and running right by him.
- Scoring when it matters and putting points on the board in the clutch.
- getting the 4-6 yards on 1st and 2nd downs and taking the pressure off 3rd and longs.
The Bad:
- lack of effort by players. Again Daryl Johnston pointed out a 3rd and out we had when Ginn Jr didn't dive for a 1st down. Getting 1st downs are, for lack of a better way of saying it, striking gold for the 49ers. When the 49ers are getting first downs continuously with a combination of good running plays and passing, they are typically going to put up a TD.
- missed opportunities. Dropped passes and more importantly dropped passes in the end zone. This offense has enough going against them when it comes to scoring points from the offensive side of the ball. Dropping passes in the end zone shouldn't be one of them. We aren't going to win on field goals alone. And though our defense is showing it can come up with big plays and stop opposing teams, its our offensive's job to make sure the game is not close. The score should have 29 not 25.
- Gore is getting older. I love Gore, I have his jersey and he comes up big for us time and time again. But seeing his breakaway runs on Sunday, I notice that he is getting older, funny to say that because age wise he isn't but the 6 years in the league is wearing down on him. And for running backs 6 years is a lot. The 2 breakaway runs he had for 40-50 yards, if you gave those runs to AP, Chris Johnson, or Arian Foster theres no doubt they would have been TDs. Granted Gore has never been a speed runner. Some people will say this doesn't matter and I will argue it does. When our offensive is clinging to the few touchdown opportunities that it gets, then it does matter that these potential TDs are not coming. Gore will always be part of the team and a workhorse but its sad to see that with some speed and younger legs his stat line should have been 141 rushing yards 3 TDs.
The Ugly:
- penalties. Seriously. The offensive line penalties due to the noise, ok I will give them those. At the same time though thats part of game planning. And there were a few that I felt the o-line moved because they were baited by movement on the defensive line. But the Dashon Goldson delay of game for kicking the ball? I wanted to tear my hair out on that one. This needs to stop.
- "Handshake Gate" I do feel Harbaugh should have made a better effort, but Swartz went all out trying to antagonize the situation. Though I have to say, im like the players I kind of liked seeing the energy and scruffle between the coaches.
- Alex Smith over throws. Smith needs to stop this. For a guy who has made so much progress this year, he is reverting back to some of his bad habits from the previous years. Ok whatever one overthrow. But I counted several of them. Luckily it resulted in only one interception but that one interception is enough to cost the game, especially to a more consistent offense.

I feel the same way. I love the feel of tight strings, but then again i am slightly a masochist.
Like I said many times before, I use 13s in standard and i can feel all the vibrations through the guitar. I love it. It also helps me gain some more finger strength so when i play with 13s in B tuning i can fucking rip through them like they're nothing.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Former Alcohol and Tobacco Control Commissioner Murphy Painter says he has done nothing criminally wrong.
In an exclusive interview with WAFB's David Spunt, Painter says the allegations against him were "orchestrated" to smear his name. "The whole purpose is to try to once and for all ruin my good name and reputation," Painter said.Painter resigned last week amid allegations that he stalked and harassed a former employee and performed inappropriate background checks on various individuals.
Last Friday, Painter says he sat outside Governor Jindal's capital office, waiting for a meeting. He says he was frisked by two police officers, then taken inside where he was told he could either quit or be fired by a Jindal staff member.
One of the accusations Painter faces is misusing the state database, "Voyager."
"There's a difference between doing a criminal history check, doing a background check and checking someone's driver's license. We have access to driver's licenses. I looked up driver's license information just like any other law enforcement officer," he said.
Search warrant documents made public Tuesday allege Painter looked up fellow employees and members of Governor Bobby Jindal's staff, including Paul Rainwater, Commissioner of the Division of Administration and Mimi Hedgecock, a policy advisor to Jindal. Painter says he ran the database before a meeting with the two.
"I had no idea who they were or who I was going to meet and I looked up their picture on a computer to see who I was going to meet, how old they were so I would know what to talk about or what information I was going to present to them," he said.
According to search warrant documents, Painter is also accused of stalking a former female assistant in his office. He says an internal investigation with the Department of Revenue, which oversees ATC, was completed. He alleges the department cleared him of any wrongdoing last fall. The department could not be reached to confirm the claim.
"They released a report that said they found no wrongdoing in what I did. They said the personnel in my office didn't particularly care about my management model which means I require people to work," he said.
State records show more than 50 people applied for a position as administrative program director in Painter's office. The job was given to Pam Salario, a former girlfriend of Painter.
"Pam Salario was a 16 year employee with ATC. I'm single, she's single. The minute that anything crossed over where her and I were going to start dating, I forced her to leave and get another job so there wouldn't be an inference of a conflict of interest," he said.
Painter says Salario was fired Wednesday morning, and was upset by it.
"That is a crime. I'm sitting here telling you that is a crime. Whoever is responsible for that is a criminal," he said of the firing.
Painter says he will continue to fight the allegations and will not leave the area.
"I appreciate the support of my friends and family standing by me and that I'm not going to surrender. I don't care, beat me up, try to screw me all you want I'm not going to surrender," he said.
Painter says he is fully cooperating with the investigation.
9 News tried again on Wednesday to speak with the ATC, but was told they would not be making a comment.

I couldn't of said it better than Kevin Durant himself, Wow!
The OKC Thunder were set to enter the 2012-2013 season as the prohibitive favorites in the West. No one in their right mind had them anything lower than numero uno. The Lakers put together a starting five consisting of two former MVP's, two former Defensive Players of the year, all five are former All Stars and two are HOF bound.
Yet, the Thunder were on top.
The Clippers added depth unmatched in the Association. They have the best PG in the game, a PF who is a consistent jump shot away from being in the GOAT conversation at his position and a center who developed a dangerous low-post game over the Summer. One lunatic even went so far as to proclaim that the Clippers would best the Lakers this season! That lunatic didn't catapult the Clippers over the Thunder however.
I'm not THAT crazy!
Now however, well, the landscape has changed a bit. The giant blinked.
My dad used to tell me stories of how when he was a kid a truck would drive through the dirt roads in his neighborhood handing out free drinks. The thought of that today conjures up creepers, Dateline investigations and Jerry Sandusky, but back then it was actually OK. It was the best way to introduce a new product to kids - give it away for free!
Once those kids, my dad included, got a taste of the drink called "Coca Cola" he was hooked. Next time the truck came by, it wasn't free.
It was on the foundation of that clever marketing campaign that Coca Cola built a dynasty. They were soda. There were no challengers. Then Pepsi Cola came along and started their own clever marketing campaign. They pitched themselves as the next big thing. Coke was old and tired, Pepsi was hip and fresh. They even got Michael Jackson to pitch their product and set his hair on fire to make it extra dramatic.
Well, the fire thing was an accident, but Pepsi had Cokes attention.
Coke was still the undisputed king of cola's but they felt pressure so they moved to stay on top. The decided to change their formula and introduce "New Coke". That went about as well as MJ's Pepsi commercial, it bombed. The giant blinked and Pepsi swooped in.
Now, I'm not saying that the Thunder were feeling any pressure from the Lakers, Clippers or anyone else in the Association. They made this move for internal financial decisions and nothing else. The timing is odd however because they didn't HAVE to make the move now. They could have given the team, the consensus pick to win the West, one more run and still had control over Harden at years end when he would be an unrestricted free agent.
That's what most teams in the same position have done over the years.
The Thunder went in a different direction however. The Thunder opted to avoid any distraction about his pending agency this season and settled matters now. The Thunder set a budget with no budge and when Harden wanted more, he was let go. The Thunder set a hard-line. The Thunder blinked.
Despite the odd move, the Thunder still go into the season as the favorites. Their perch however is a few Jenga blocks short now and very wobbly. No, I won't say the Clippers are favored over them, again, I'm not THAT crazy, but its impossible to not see the opportunity. The Clippers took three out of four from the Thunder last season with Harden. Must analyst (me included) see the Thunder as weaker now defensively as well as because of the hit to team chemistry.
Each season, each team, heck even each game is unique but if the Clippers matched up that well before with OKC, don't they have a bigger advantage now? I say they do.
The Thunder are still kings of the West, but its impossible to deny that they blinked and left an opening for a team under the radar to knock them off their perch this season. The Clippers are in as good a position as any to be that team.
Pepsi anyone?

As you probably already know by now, Panthers CB Chris Gamble was not selected to the Pro Bowl, despite having a Pro Bowl caliber season (and one of his better seasons as a Panther). In fact, he wasn't even selected to be an alternate. Yeah, you read that right: Gamble isn't even an alternate.
If anyone figures out why Gamble isn't even mentioned as one of the alternates (much less a starter) for the Pro Bowl, please let me know so I can understand it too.
If you're like me and are shaking your head in disgust at Gamble's snubbing, then you can take comfort in the fact that the guys at Pro Football Focus also believe that Gamble should represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl.
The following is a snippet from their article about players who shouldn't have made the Pro Bowl:
Charles Woodson, CB, Green Bay Packers and Charles Tillman, CB, Chicago Bears
PFF Rating: -2.2 (Woodson) and +4.4 (Tillman)
PFF Conference Ranking: 18th and 8th
Analysis: Woodson is a lot of things to the Green Bay Packers, but he's not even their top cover corner. He's now just the kind of difference maker that can be a liability in coverage, as evidenced by the nine penalties given up along with the 566 yards. Tillman is up at the 841 yard mark on the season and while he's had some great moments (notably the second encounter with Detroit) he hasn't consistently dominated the opposition as many would have you believe. Instead guys like Brent Grimes and Chris Gamble have made plays and allowed less than 45% of balls thrown their way to be complete. There really isn't a comparison.
Key Fact: Chris Gamble has allowed just 284 yards all year.
See, the guys at PFF get it...why can't anyone else?
Oh well, maybe next year Gamble will finally get some of the recognition he deserves.
What do you think Panthers fans? Do Charles Woodson and Charles Tillman deserve to be in the Pro Bowl over Chris Gamble? Let's hear it...

The NewsChannel 11 Weight Watchers team is shrinking a little more every day. 22 of us have been following the Flex Point Plan with a Weight Watchers meeting here every Thursday. The first week, our team dropped 40 pounds collectively.
On Thursday was week two and the 13 people who weighed in lost another 17.5 pounds. That's a total of 57.5 pounds gone in two weeks. But this next week is going to be a real challenge with the temptation of two four letter words, fair food. Some advice on that from our Weight Watcher team leader.
Kim Martin, Weight Watchers team leader, says that she wants us to remember that the fair just comes along once a year, so go and enjoy the food because of flex points that will allow us to eat some fair food.
Here is the skinny on the fatty food at the fair:

Am I doing the right thing?
Okay, so I've posted a lot of questions on here regarding my weight. But for those who don't know, I'm a 14 year old girl who does cycling who needs to lose weight. My mam and dad say, I say, even some people at cycling have commented on my weight.
I've been trying to follow a paleo diet mostly, but it's hard with low-fat, calorie-restrictive parents. I've noticed that my mam has been giving me less and less on my plate, in order for me to "lose weight." Doesn't work though, I normally end up snacking on biscuits and chocolate, out of defiance and hunger.
So after the millionth time my dad had a go at me for making scrambled eggs with butter this morning, and after he grabbed the pan and threw the butter away, I told him that I've had enough. I've had enough of cycling and not getting anywhere competitively, I've had enough of judgemental assholes who comment on my weight and say losing weight is "easy" like I haven't tried hard enough. I've been trying for over a year now. They say they want me to be healthy, but they don't care about my mental health, and they think being hungry is normal when you're trying to lose weight. My mam also says I've been brainwashed because I don't believe the low-fat dogma.
So I want to do full paleo, weight-loss diet. I want to lose weight atkins style then gradually introduce my carbs so I can continue to cycle. I want my energy to go up and I want to be flat-stomached so I can feel happier and prove a point to my overweight dad who thinks he is morally superior because he doesn't eat red meat.
So can someone please help me? What do I have to eat in order to lose weight? I don't need to keep my energy up because I won't be cycling for a few weeks. Can someone give me a meal plan or something?
I'm sorry if this comes across as arrogant or rude, but I'm really sick and upset about the way people have been treating me and it saddens me that so many people are clueless about a good diet.
I'm 5.3" and 150 pounds.

A year back I was in a similar situation. I needed to lose weight but I didn't know how. The first thing I did was ask my cousin who lost 60 pounds over the course of 6 months. So I followed that diet, what was that? "Healthy food", no bread or rice. Lots of vegetables, ton of chicken breast and fish. Low fat everything(milk, yogurt etc). Minimal fruit. I did this for about 10 weeks, and I lost 20 pounds. My only form of exercise was HIIT 3 times a week.
Although it helped me lose weight i would never do this again, but this helped me gain my parents' confidence. From then on they knew that whatever I am consuming is for the good of my health. Nowadays when I add copious amounts of butter to my salad, or eat half a dozen eggs they can't really say anything. I guess as being teenagers we need to prove to our parents that we are doing the right thing. The only reason your parents are telling you to eat low fat is because they care. In reality they are the ones who are brainwashed and you can't really do anything other than be an example. They will always think they know more than you. Being 14 this will be difficult, try your best and take it slowly. Good luck
You and your parents should see a doctor and a dietician. Both of those specialists should tell your parents to back the &**& off because carrying on like that is a great way to give a teenage girl an eating disorder. Then they can give you a plan, and check on you regularly. The plan will be something you can remind your parents of whenever they freak out.
Honestly, your parents sound like nutjobs. Hang in there as best you can until you grow up and can get the heck away from them.

Bros had 13 hit singles, 2 world tours, sold out Wembley stadium and sold over 16 million records worldwide. But where are they now? When will they be famous (again)?
After a few years in the wilderness called obscurity, Luke has re-launched himself as a film star. His acting career took off when he landed the role of Danny Zuko in the stage production of 'Grease' in the West End.
His most high profile roles include 'Blade 2' opposite Wesley Snipes and was the main baddy in 2008's Hellyboy II: The Golden Army. He's doing quite well for himself really. Look here.
Meanwhile, Matt, who incidentally is 10 minutes younger than his twin brother Luke, attempted to launch a solo career following the break up of Bros. His solo album 'The Key' unfortunately didn't open the door back to fame. Now, after a period of 'self-reflection, introspection and evolution' (quote from his website) lasting twelve years, he's back with a new album 'Face The Wind'.
One of his songs was also featured on the soundtrack for the film 'Stuart Little'.
According to the movie website imdb.com, he is currently engaged to the lovely Daisy Fuentes and was most recently on British screens in the culinary reality show 'Hell's Kitchen'.
Finally, Craig, the lesser known memeber (we like to think of him at the Andrew Ridgely of Bros) sued the twins after leaving the band in 1988, for unpaid royalties and almost bankrupted the pair with a win of £1 million.
Post-BROS Craig stayed in the music industry helping to write and produce his then girlfriend Kim Appleby's (of Mel & Kim fame) album. Since then he worked his way up to an executive level at EMI before entering the world of music management.

A fantastic, multi-faceted version that delights with originality and freshness.
Perhaps it is because I am not a fan of Shakespeare, or perhaps I simply did not find the storyline interesting. So apart from some good scenery - the film was shot in Hawaii - I got nothing out of it. Too much talking. Forced acting. A disappointment.
This dvd was unexpected for me. I saw the actors listed and thought "can't go wrong"
Well I was completely surprised and delighted!
For some Shakespeare / movies I find it hard to really grasp the english language. I Love it mind you.
I think that the director. Taymor [i think] did a brilliant job. She really does show how the language was so descriptive and visual and poetic. When I think of this generation and all its short forms of speaking It saddens me. I highly recommend this movie. I watched every inch of it twice!.
la verdad no le entendi a la movie y se me hizo un aburrida
One of the most Disappointing -Unwatchable films I've ever seen this year. Really a dumb movie. "I fast forwarded all the way." It would be a waste of money to buy.
Beautifully imagined and wonderfully acted.
Profoundly uneven adaptation of the play which switches the gender of the main character, played by Helen Mirren. It's her performance, plus that of David Strathairn, Chris Cooper, Tom Conti, and Alan Cumming that do the film credit, and without that, I'd have rated this with no stars. That said, however, the film has huge problems that it utterly fails to overcome. The two younger actors, Felicity Jones and Reeve Carney, are lifeless in their roles. Alfred Molina and Djimon Hounsou, who are capable of so much better work, are badly damaged by spending much of their onscreen time with Russell Brand. This "comedian" and general waste of space is completely out of his element, and frankly, one of the most obnoxious human beings on the planet. The film is entirely derailed by his jackass behaviour. Finally, Julie Taymor directs the film as if she's either insane, on drugs, or both. The Tempest as a story deserves better. This is the worst adaptation of Shakespeare since that wretched 90s version of Romeo and Juliet.
Am I the only person on the planet who is sick to the teeth with Hollywood's special effects? Shakespeare's plays are meant to be performed on a stage. The exchange between the actors and the audience is essential which is why I always find a cinematic version of his plays lacking however artful the acting. A tight closeup showing emotion is not a substitute for the acting skill required for the same scene on stage. This was an imaginative and visually intriguing version of The Tempest, but it was not Shakespeare. I agree that Russell Brand's casting was a BIG mistake.
Cheesy special effects and distracting music spoil the texture of this adaptation, overshadowing a fine cast and some very good performances. For me, changing the sex of Prospero was not so much the problem (it actually created some interesting new dynamics in the relationships between characters--Prospera and Caliban, notably). It was rather a general lack of restraint and cohesive vision in the production as a whole. Somehow this film manages to make this gorgeous play tedious. And that's just not right.
Very visually beautiful, but still has the spareness of settings like a play performed on stage. Really interesting blend of actors and actresses. I appreciate actors who appreciate Shakespeare and try to honor the tone and sensibility of the period in which his works were written. ALL of Shakespeare's works that we are most familiar with WERE first and foremost PLAYS - written to be performed in front of an audience.

Chances are the last time Mirza Teletovic made it on SportsCenter, his arms were around the neck of royalty. Wait. Was that LeBron James horse collar really just two weeks ago? After their NBA's best, 9-1 clip, all the wins are becoming blurred. But yeah, two weeks and several victories ago, Mirza was a top story. As was his sly smile after his infamous foul. He was hollering back "It's only basketball!" as the greatest of all ballers made a not so great, fugazy-esque run at him. It's still only basketball but on Friday night the Bosnian Bomber decided to let his deadly range do the talking. He exploded onto the national stage and returned to SportsCenter, but this time for the right reason. Coming off the bench, Teletovic's 24 second quarter points also gave him a new reason to smile. For the first time ever, he put the entire Nets team on his back and showed that even with Brook Lopez out for the year, Brooklyn still rolls ten deep.
Up at the Big Brown Bass Drum, Carmelo Anthony was getting busy too. His franchise best 62 points (still 38 points less than the record for points scored against the Knicks) needs no further hype. But who doesn't already know about Anthony's offensive prowess? The real news came at the Rusty Turtle where Mirza shocked everyone by lighting up a stanza in ways that even Anthony couldn't. Firing 6-7 from behind the arc (his only miss came on a last second desperation shot before the half ended) proved that for one quarter at least, MT-3 could make it rain like any Joe Johnson storm. Not to compare Brooklyn's latest star with JJ. Not to compare him with Melo either, but this type of bench depth is what separates contenders like the Nets, from pretenders like the Knicks. Well, lots separate the two but now Mirza's arsenal can truly be added to the list.
Having Dallas' Mark Cuban in the house witnessing Teletovic's coming out party only made things sweeter. The owner who was counting on grabbing Deron Williams a few yeas back (but settled for Vince Carter and Devin Harris; in fairness both played well) talked much before the game. Not so much after. The Brigade on the other hand? Well, we talked before, during and after. As for the stuff you can't read about in the sports pages, this was the group at its most proper. From being joined by newbies like Hollywood Danny Turk, to Steph-Rock, to Jaida-Love, to Carlos' Birthday Crew, to Alex '80s, to our own Honest Abe (honest enough to admit his Orange-n-Blue allegiance, although that'll change), to the welcomed return of Carlos Dos, and a late cameo by our leader, Bobby Gotham, this shaped itself into the mother of all outings. Some nights start off meekly but end with a bang. Game 6 vs. Chicago comes to mind. Others start vociferously and end with a bunch of grown men crying in their beers. See Game 7. This one, without all the fear and anxiety which comes with playoffs basketball, was simply Kid Dynamite-styled good times throughout. From pre-game festivities at Mo's Fort Greene, to the arena walk, to the game itself, there was just a confidence in the air. No one could predict Mirza's outburst (one Brigade member even had the chutzpah to start the evening by talking up Gerald Green) but as a group, everyone knew the Nets would leave us all happy.
That happiness hit all parts of the arena. Unlike previous outings, a high demand on tickets left us in several different sections. But that only allowed our "MT-3" chants to echo through all corners of building. And as seen below, it also led to a wider variety of album shots, even if overall the group appeared smaller than it actually was. Ay, that's what he said. Either way, as we reunited afterwards to our usual post-game stomping ground, the 4th Avenue Pub, there was no containing a certain glow. It's the type of confidence that fans of good teams carry and on this night we had it. Even if, like the winning streak itself, the flow of beer somewhat blurred our high spirits. Even if, towards the end things got a bit hazy. At some point we were joined by a German couple. Then a South Korean one. Maybe our team is global after all? But there was nothing unclear in spotting Jacob taking orders from behind the bar.
As a group we hadn't seen Jacob, the pub's co-owner and on again/off again Nets fan since the Bill Melchioni/Rick Barry days, in nearly a year. Still, he remembered us enough to drop off a more than generous bill. He also briefly talked some ABA hoops. This year's club might not have the newness that Jacob can still recall during their Long Island days. They don't have the edge of being part of a renegade league. They don't have the coolness of redefining pro-ball. But this collection is fun to watch. Much more fun than last year. After all the early season letdowns, injuries, off-court drama and tension, Deez Nets are finally playing like a team. They seem more together than at any point last season. And individually, from watching Shaun Livingston step up, to Andray Blatche, to now MT-3, they're more surprising too. This ain't the 1970s Nets (despite the barkeep's 1970s-type deal in drink prices), or even the early 2000s Nets, but Deez Nets have brought the fun back. They've made 4:0 AM subway rides during the dead of winter *almost-almost* bearable. While Deez Nets can't play .900 basketball for the remainder of the season, they can keep the fun vibe alive. As long as that happens, deez fans can't complain.
Oh, and speaking of fun and fans, much props to Brigade friend and number one Nets fan, Zac "Half Court" Cullen! In front of 17,000+ fans and an international TV audience, Big Zac stood calm, cool and collected while attempting a 50 footer during a third quarter timeout. Without an inkling of nerves, the Jersey kid stepped to the plate. His form was tight. His shot was strong. For a second it even looked true before drifting wide right. Despite the close miss, Cullen made us all proud so for that he gets our love and this special shout-out!
Pix time:
Finally… Big Ups to "Hollywood Danny Turk" (an actual screenwriter mind ya) and our own "Trippy" (a damn good proofreader) for the many bonus shots.
Oh and FINALLY-FINALLY, for all the frolic I gotta add that "KingofDenial," "Mets-Jets-Nets," "JohnfromLongIsland," "ShaneGayle" "Mill16" and "NoJersey" were all missed. Hope to catch those old vets and some more newbies when we do it again.

text: I know we're the Gonzaga Bulldogs, but everyone else calls us the Zags. So I think it's an easy solution to change our name to the Gonzaga Zags. A little bit redundant but it's not like anyone out there calls us the Dogs or the Bulldogs. Now you're probably asking, What a Zag is supposed to look like? First off, It's not a bulldog. The easy answer is it is a just a very large capitalized Z. A little bland? Yes, but more fitting than a bulldog. Just tossing this idiotic suggestion out there to keep things fun out here in Zag land amidst a serious investigation.


text: Natalie Jeremijenko: how kissing frogs teaches us about healthy eating and biodiversity | Wired 2013 video Science 17 October 13 by Liat Clark Tweet Wired 2013 Video: Natalie Jeremijenko Natalie JeremijenkoNate Lanxon / Canon 5D MkIII Natalie Jeremijenko wants us to reimagine our relationship with food by kissing frogs, drinking St John's Wort-dosed cola and listening to mussels sing.Speaking at Wired 2013, the visual artist, engineer, neuroscientist and ecologist explained that we should be redirecting our enthusiasm for the food movement by ensuring we aim to increase biodiversity and improve environmental health, while making tasty dishes."There are some popular misconceptions around reimagining food and food systems," she said. "I run a clinic that treats health as an environmental issue and environment as a health issue. I've developed a spin out organisation from the clinic known as the Farmacy, which focuses on things that not only reduce food miles and fertilisers and pesticides, but improve environmental health and raises the bar on what the food movement thinks it's doing." One of the first projects was around getting people to eat flowers. Urban agriculture and vertical gardens are a popular trend, however Jeremijenko says these projects must not compete with rural agriculture but fill the gap the traditional industry cannot. In the city, growing flowers is the best way to improve air quality and increase biodiversity, while producing delicious edibles that are highly perishable and non-distributable."Flowers are the most nutrient dense food we know of and helps in the cultural shift we're in midst of. It's not about calories but powerful antioxidants." Flowers contain an abundance of this, while at the same time supporting pollinators. Soon we'll be seeing black pansies draping the exterior of a carpark in Shoreditch, where Jeremijenko has been commissioned to setup a huge display. "Companies can think of it as a banner ad that shows they're improving air quality, increasing biodiversity and supporting pollinators."The flowers are also being used in Flower Floss, a type of candy floss made with isomalt, a sugar substitute used by diabetics, and a bee pollen that fosters bacterial diversity in the lower gut. It "creates a tasty future and carnivalesque promise of food," says Jeremijenko, while "improving biodiversity in the lower gut and your urban environment".She's brought this process to her Manufactory, which she describes as a party and assembly line mashup. A spinoff teaches kids how to create the floss and open-source cola, which uses St John's Wort for a buzz and aster flowers as a strong antiviral element. "It's a convivial opportunity to discuss the issues and a radical transparency of what's in your food."Taking her demonstrations out of the classroom to the public space, Jeremijenko has also setup the Mussel Choir in the East River. Here, sensors tell an automatic soundtrack whether the mussels are open or closed. "It tells us a lot about water quality. When they're open the track is singing, when closed there's a humming, which is less good." Melding the food classes and lessons taught through public installations is Jeremijenko's Cross Species Adventure club, a supper club with a difference. The Wetkisses, for instancem, are marshmallows injected with lividium, which generates anti-fungal agents. It's what helps frogs and other amphibians fight chytrid fungus, a mass killer of amphibians in our marshlands."When we eat it we are inoculated, so it equips you to kiss a frog and protect it from fungus."It's a synergy between environmental lessons and healthy eating not offered by those trendiest purveyors of the mobile food, slow food or any other movement of the moment.

League of Legends Spring Line Photoshoot
Here at J!NX we love League of Legends. For some of us, it has engrossed our lives, robbed us of (admittedly unneeded) sleep cycles, and overthrown our dreamstates -- replacing them with visions of minions dancing on the wall above tri-brushand with only a sliver of life left.
For the League of Legends Spring Line we really wanted to do something special, to commemorate the existence of these products into the realm of man and woman kind. We called up some of our dear friends from both Riot and the LoL Community to join us in a photoshoot of fun and cheer. Here are some bonus round pics from the shoot:
This video of our Photoshoot represents a step back towards capturing our goings on here at the Fortress, and the shenanigans that ensue. Enjoy the video, and be sure to check out our new League of Legends Spring Line... bee tee dubz, my favorite shirt is Mundo, because he is beasting so hard in the jungle right now and his corporate skin is the awesomer.

Which NHL Goal-Scorer Is Most Valuable To His Club?
From the Sabre's "Die by the Blade": An interesting look at goal scorers at who scores a higher percentage of their teams goals. It only looks at the top goal scorer for each club, but interesting none the less. Marian Gaborik of the NY Rangers actually tops the list scoring 23% of the Rangers goals, Stamkos is 2nd with 20%, and Patrick Marleau third at 19.7% Stewie (16G) got the mention for the Avs with 10.88% of the Avs 147 goals (Wolski also has 16 goals, but Stewart might have been chosen because he has played 5 fewer games).

Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I was involved in an automobile accident in Tacoma a little over 2 years ago. The accident was not my fault so I didn't think I needed an attorney. When the insurance company contacted me they were requesting my insurance information to file a claim against me! I tried to explain to them that it was their clients responsibility and by the time I was done I was questioning the situation myself. My car and body were banged up pretty good. I contacted Tom and explained the situation. I retained him and that was the last I heard from the insurance company. By the time this ordeal was done, I was compensated for my injuries and my car was repaired just as good as new!
I was fasly accussed of a horible sex crime and although I was innocent the allegations brought extreme shame to me and my family. I met with Tom and was not sure what he or anyone else would believe so I was a bit nervous. Tom heard my story and vowed to fight for me because he said he believed in me. Although he is not the cheapest in town I also know that you pay for what you get. I walked! And because of Tom I now hold my head high again.
Many years ago, Tom defended me in a case that if convicted, my life would have been over. I would have lost my job and would have done serious jail time. I was innocent and it was my word against a crazy persons story. Tom was able to point out the inconsistencies and fallacies in the state's argument and I was found innocent. I thank God that the truth prevailed.
Tom is currently representing me and is doing a great job. He's saved me thousands of dollars and my job! I would recommend Tom to anyone who is serious about keeping what is most important to them.
TOM has represented me on 2 different occasions. As of recent in puyallup. I have hired and fired other Attorneys and I have to say Tom is hands down the BEST ATTORNEY in Pierce County. When the chips where on the table this guy knows his stuff and will fight for his client. Tom saved my butt from going to jain on a senseless issue and kept me from loosing my job. I reccomend him over anyone else.
this guy knows his stuff. he made pierce co. finest look like dumd a----
on the stand beat my case hands down!!!!
I hired Mr. Balerud to assist me on a criminal case that also involved a large cash seizure. He beat my 3 count prison exposure case down to only 2 months of home arrest. As to my civil forfeiture, he beat that as well. All my vehicles (my SUV and both of my Mercedes) along with $10,000 cash were returned to me. I would gladly refer him to others.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- The man who pleaded guilty to a deadly Arizona shooting rampage that wounded former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has been sentenced to life in prison.
U.S. District Judge Larry Burns sentenced 24-year-old Jared Lee Loughner on Thursday for the January 2011 attack that left six people dead and Giffords and others wounded.
Loughner pleaded guilty to federal charges under an agreement that guarantees he will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The hearing marked the first time victims -- including Giffords -- could confront Loughner in court. Her husband spoke on her behalf, saying Loughner changed his wife's life forever but couldn't dent her spirit.

Peeps are continually staffing a table outside of Staples, 24-7, ongoing for more than three weeks now (and about a month in July, then a short break). They are protesting the privatization of the Post Office and Staples role in it, outsourcing living wage Postal Service personnel for subsistence wage Staples employees.
Tents have gone up along the Durant sidewalk with 'Stop Staples' signs!
Come by and say hello, hang out, bring 'em a bit to eat and drink, and give them your support!

FERGUSON, Mo. — Activists on Saturday called for mass civil disobedience on the highways in and around this St. Louis suburb to protest the killing of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer, with the leaders of one coalition encouraging supporters to stop their cars to tie up traffic on Labor Day.
Organizers at the rally called on demonstrators to drive on Interstate 70 and other area highways at 4:30 p.m. Monday, turn their hazard lights on and stop their vehicles for four and a half minutes to symbolize the four and a half hours that Mr. Brown's body lay in the street.
In September, world leaders are coming to New York City for a UN summit on the climate crisis. On the 21st, there will be a massive march.

Ladder Movement
You can challenge anyone above you 10 slots or 50% of the remaining ladder from your current rank - whichever is higher. (Ex: Rung 100 can challenge rung 50. Rung 48 can challenge to rung 24. Rung 15 can challenge to rung 5).
Ladder Concept
The Ladder is based on a best 2 out of 3 maps scenario. Map selection is random for the first and second maps. The "Defending" team selects the tiebreaker map. The "Defending" team chooses map sides and order. The "Attacking" team picks the tiebreaker map sides.
Team Roster Management
Ladder members join teams per ladder and may only be a member of one team per ladder. Roster changes may be made on any day. In order for a player to be considered 'eligible' for a match, he must be on his team's roster before the Defender accepts the challenge and remain on the team until the match is completed. In the case of games with in game identifiers (PunkBuster), this GUID must be entered into the players profile before the defender accepts the challenge for the player to be considered 'eligible'. If a player drops from a team after a challenge is accepted and rejoins he will only be allowed to legally play if the other team agrees to it in match comms. Leniency is given for people that sign up on the same day match is accepted.
Team Management
Teams have one (1) Owner and any number of Captains. Captains are assigned at a ladder level. Owners are captains on all ladders. The team Owner should determine who should be in charge of issuing challenges per ladder and maintaining the team information. Multiple team captains can be assigned to perform such duties.
Challenge and Match Date Acceptance
All ladders have a time limitation for match responses. This includes Acceptance of a Challenge and/or Date Acceptance. The Present time frame is 48 hours. At that time a "Flag" is created for the Ladder Admins to address the next time they login to their Admin Console. If the problem is resolved by that team prior to the Admin logging in then the match continues as before. If the Admin logs in first the appropriate action will be taken. In this case forfeits will be granted and rungs dropped.
Failure to Appear
For each ladder there is a minimum number of players needed to proceed with a match. Teams should have the minimum number of players on the appropriate server no later than 15 minutes after the scheduled match time. Failure to meet this requirement will result in an immediate forfeit against the non-compliant party. Both teams should be ready to play no later than 30 minutes from the scheduled match time (Unless agreed upon by both parties). Failure to agree to start the match at this time will result in forfeiture by the non-compliant party. A TWL admin should be contacted immediately (mIRC - #teamwarfare) for a ruling to be made. If an admin isn't available then the match should be postponed, and a dispute must be filed.
Server Selection
Server preference and choices are communicated through the "Match Communication" Portion of your Team Admin Console. All matches must be played on a server that has the ability to be password protected. If a neutral server cannot be agreed upon then the 1st and 3rd maps will be played on the Defender's Choice and the 2nd will be played on the Attacker's choice. All members should be able to connect to the server. Server disputes must be handled before match completion. Disputing a server after a match has been played will result in the dispute being thrown out.
Teams of the TWL are expected to remain active while on the ladder. Any team showing inactivity for a period of three weeks will be deleted from the appropriate ladder. This time frame of course does not include "Rest" time taken.
Challenge Cancelation
On the TWL there is no availability for the team Captains or Founders to cancel a challenge. All Cancellations must be coordinated through a Ladder Admin. Cancellations are not always guaranteed.
Sportsmanship and Cheating
Un-sportsmanlike conduct during matches will not be tolerated by the TWL. If an admin is called in to resolve an issue regarding un-sportsmanlike conduct the judgment/punishment will be swift, efficient and final. We here at the TWL suggest you conduct yourselves accordingly. See the specific ladder areas by this name for the specifics for that ladder and game.
Server Selection Time
All servers must be posted in the online match communications 48 hours prior to the match time. If no attempt is made to offer a server for your team, and the opposing team has offered a server, all 3 matches may be played on the opposing team's server per their request.
Server Crashes
In the event of a server crash, if both teams can agree upon the remaining time and score, the map will be restarted with the remaining time and score intact. If there is a dispute the entire map will be restarted. In the event that a team loses a player due to connectivity issues, (or his Mom/Dad tells him to get the hell off the PC...LOL) the team may substitute the player immediately with someone from their roster. Substitute players, brought in during match, that are not eligible players, will force an immediate forfeiture on the part of the team they were playing for.
Map side choices and order must be relayed to the attacking team no more than 24 hours after the attacker schedules the match. The attacking team also must relay side choice for the Tiebreaker map no later than 24 hours after scheduling the match. Server choice must be communicated in the "Match Communication" section in your team's ladder control panel 48 hours prior to match time. Failure to keep these deadlines may result in your forfeit of these options at the opposing team's (and admin's) discretion.
Should a match require rescheduling, the new match time should be within 3 days of the original match time. Matches can only be rescheduled once. Mutual consent via match comms between opponents is required.
Smurf Policy
Smurfing is signing up for more than one team (or the same team) on the same ladder, either under the same name, or a different name. It is also the act of playing for a team you are not registered to play for, under a false identity.
Additionally, team captains and founders can contact your games coordinator (SysAdmin). The list is located here. In each games staff list, at the top, is the SysAdmin for that game. The admins will cooperate fully with team captains and founders in order to combat and prevent smurfing. We will NOT hand out IP's so don't ask but we will be more than happy to check a certain player on your team.

That's awesome. It really seems to be a common thing. I chalked it down to culture. I know they often have different titles as well.

The Gee Spot 28.01.2011
Unless you're unlucky enough to get paid on the last day of the month (yep, Monday for me) today is payday. After six weeks eating only beans on toast you can finally get out of the house and blow a month's wage in a weekend. (I'll be staying in with my beans!)
Luckily, Prowler stores have kept their sale going an extra week so you can still pick up those January bargains with February's pay packet. And for one week only, there's a half price Calvin Klein sale happening on the website. I've actually reserved mine for when I get paid cause I'm sure many of them will sell out this weekend, so get in fast as they are a real bargain. I love the blue ones and am definitely getting the green Brazil ones. Also Rush aroma is back and now available online and in stores across the country – so rush to get it. (Sorry, had to be done!)
My porn script went down a storm last week and the first of the new Euroboy films goes into production next month. I've was involved in the model selection and I know you're gonna cream yourselves when you see these lads.
But back to present day porn; Keep it Real has finally been released. I say finally because I've been waiting to get my hands on this film for ages. The men are HOT and the sex is heart poundingly exciting. New York harbors some really well hung black men and the main man; Tank is not only huge but also seriously hot. The film is in stores now and online at prowler.tv
And for all you size queens, here's another title you'll be wanting, this time from Rudeboiz. Sweaty Sports Scallies is a collection of hot, young lads with massive cocks and tight arses and is available in store now.
I've switched back to the iPhone as I wasn't happy with my other mobile. One of the first things I download was Mini Gay Boyfriend as the whole office has been talking about it. It's pretty good fun, you have to lavish attention onto your virtual boyfriend and keep the relationship alive. If only I could do that in real life.

REMINDER: TC Fantasy League Draft is Tonight
7pm EST. Be there. This is the league that Smoltz's Beard is running. I don't want to give away too much strategy, but I'm really liking Adam Wainwright (NO ONE wants the guy!) and Melky Cabrera should have a nice year seeing as he's a "run producer" now.

Four people will be on the ballot in a special election to fill a seat on the Sioux City Community school board.
On the list, the man who holds the seat now, John Meyers. Also on the ballot: Paul Gorski, Jacqueline Ritter, and Paul Speidel.
A special ballot question, put on the ballot by Western Iowa Tech, forced the election for the seat Meyers holds. He was appointed to fill the term of Nancy Mounts, who stepped down for health reasons in late 2011.
The special election is February 5th.

Why is Pujols so serious?
I don't normally concern myself with the personal life of athletes, and I've been made too cynical to see athletes as role models. However, I thought some of you might find this article on Pujols interesting. I do find it extremely interesting to see how excellence is driven.

UPDATE: I over-reaccted when I wrote this fanpost. I thought no one would read this, but boy I was wrong. So after some Chinese beer and Calamari, while watching montage of Mariners win so far in HD, I feel better. I'll keep this fanpost as a reminder to not over-react and do stupid things, like this post:
This is the first fanpost in this blog. As a die hard Mariner Fan since the days of Ichiro's rookie season in MLB, I've seen shares of Ups and Downs, from strikeouts King Felix throws from game to game, all the way to huge loss in 2001 ALCS, which forever made me hate the Yankees to the day I die.
But Nothing, and I mean, NOTHING, made me more frustrated then today's shutout loss to the White Sox.I had very high hopes that Mariners could go all the way during this season with hot start against Oakland Athletics. Yes, In know it's Oakland, but it was such a strong start. Then came the game against the Rangers. Yes, that was brutal. But at least we won a game in the 4 game series. Another wins against the Athletics, I thought thing were going the right for the Mariners.
Then came the game against Indians. The first against the Indians was brutal, but we rebounded with 4-1 win the next night. Then came the horrifying collapse the next night, the collapse that has lead to now 3 game losing streak.
I thought by now, Mariners realized that they need to turn around and do something. But boy, I was wrong. With the shut out loss against the White Sox (I will refuse to call it a perfect game), I am, as of this point, ABSOLUTELY PISSED OFF, and VERY ANGRY at the players. It looked like they completely gave up. Literally, they looked like this series was a loss, since the first game against the White Sox.
I have one thing to say to Mariners players: WAKE UP! Do you want to just throw away the season at this point, and hope for the best next year, or do you want to win, and shock the whole baseball nation by making it to ALDS and World Series?
It's still early in the season. But if you collapse now, it's over. It's your call Mariners. Do you want to throw the season away now, or do you want to win?

Parrish: It could have been Pitino instead of Krzyszewski
So, again, Pitino spent eight seasons in the NBA. And he still had 599 career victories through 25 seasons as a college coach. Pitino accumulating 599 wins in 25 seasons means he's averaged 24 wins per season -- or one more win per season than the average of Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, the man on the verge of becoming the winningest coach in men's Division I history. If you use Pitino's average wins per season (24) and multiply it by the number of seasons he spent in the NBA (8), then take that number (192) and add it to his current win total (600), what you'll find is that it's reasonable to assume Pitino could be approaching 800 victories before the age of 60 and thus considered a real threat to break the record Krzyzewski will soon set given that he's five years younger than the Duke coach.

EXCLUSIVE: Photos show U.S. troops posing with body parts of Afghan bombers: An American soldier says he released the photos to the Los Angeles Times to draw attention to the safety risk of a breakdown in leadership and discipline. The Army has started a criminal investigation.
The photos have emerged at a particularly sensitive moment for U.S.-Afghan relations. In January, a video appeared on the Internet showing four U.S. Marines urinating on Afghan corpses. In February, the inadvertent burning of copies of the Koran at a U.S. base triggered riots that left 30 dead and led to the deaths of six Americans. In March, a U.S. Army sergeant went on a nighttime shooting rampage in two Afghan villages, killing 17.
The soldier who provided The Times with a series of 18 photos of soldiers posing with corpses did so on condition of anonymity. He served in Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne

So far there have been numerous diaries and posts about why the warriors should tank this season in order to get a better draft pick. I'm here to post the reasons why this is not a smart idea.
First off, if we were to tank, we'll still have a hard time getting worse than Boston and Memphis. They have the 1 and 2 worst seeds locked the same way Dallas and Phonix have the top 2 locked. Then, there are still a lot of other teams we have to fight for bad positions with. In the end, we end up with a 5-15% (at best, probably) chance of getting the a top 2 pick.
Secondly, there is a lot of talk and speculation that Greg Oden will stay in school another year. He's enjoying college and honing his skills, and many people from Ohio State have said that he will likely not come out this year. If he stays in school, then we have to get the #1 pick just to get a "future star" in Kevin Durant.
Third, suppose we don't get the 1st of second pick? Then what? Who's left? Joakim Noah? Tyler Hansborough? Alando Tucker? These guys are good at the college level, but I highly doubt they will be stars in the pros, at least not for many years. If former drafts have been any indication, a 10-20 pick usually ends up being a better player, and a better team player, than a 4-10 pick. Plus, they are a lot cheaper.
We still have a decent shot at the playoffs, and tonight should be the first game with our starting 5 intact. If we win today, we have 4 of the next 5 games at home. A rejuvenated Dubs team could go 4-1 or maybe even 5-0 during that time, and be right back in it.
Basically what i'm saying, is why tank? we have a very bad shot at getting a top 2 pick, and if we do, Oden might not even be there. And if not, then we just tanked a season for no reason when we can go all out and make a run for this.
GO WARRIORS! Playoffs in 07!! :)

Very nice plane

Comments about
WoodRiver #4-1/2 Smoothing Plane
Got it for smoothing some scruffy red oak, and it worked beautifully. Very minimal tune-up, and it was ready to go. Nice fit and finish. The extra weight is great for difficult woods and a little easier on the shoulders since less downward pressure is needed.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
4.5 woodriver and low angle planes
About Me
while on holiday in florida I was fortunate enough to visit woodcraft I viewed the woodriver range and was pleasantly surprised how better the American version was to the uk version so I purchased the 4.5 and the low angled block plane which are unavailable in the uk and I am very pleased with the purchase excellent quality
Diamond in the rough
Jim the fettler
Pittsburgh, PA
About Me
An excellent plane AFTER being thoroughly fettled. Completely disassemble, then use taps and dies to clean all threaded holes and bolt threads of manufacturers left behind crud such as metal chips and dirt. Carefully reassemble taking care that all parts fit and operate smoothly. Flatten all blade parts mating surfaces including the lever cap and chip- breaker, hone the blade and you will have a plane equal to any others including "L-N". The only difference between this 4 1/2 plane and my LN 4 1/2 is LN has done the fettling for you. This plane is about 6 oz HEAVIER than the LN and performs just as well.
These WoodRiver planes are an excellent value in spite of the work required to complete what the factory started.
Great Tool, Great Price
Seattle, wa
With an absolute mininum of tuning, and proper sharpening this plane will produce shavings of under 1/1000 of an inch. Mine commonly do 1/2 of 1/1000th.
There is only one other tool maker that produces this quality but those are around twice the price. The 2X price is worth it for those who love very very high quality brass fitted tools but they don't perform a bit better than Wood River.

A strange collection of side skills
by, 04-18-2011 at 08:50 AM (1263 Views)
I'm not sure how it came up, but the other day I got to thinking about the many ways that playing tabletop role playing games has offered benefits elsewhere in life. I think its obvious how playing such games can increase your creativity and gives you another reason to be social, but it seems like the effect reach into a number of less obvious areas.
For example when pondering dastardly things to do yo players in my games, I tend to do best when engaged in some activity that needs enough focus to keep your mind from going into power save mode but not so much that it can wander onto other topics. Walking my dog has been the ideal time for this. She tends to get extra strolls around game sessions, and all the exercise she wants when I'm planning out the next module of the adventure.
Going through high school and college I can't even remember how many English and writing courses I had to take. During that time I'm pretty sure I knew that dictionaries and a thesauruses exists, and probably had a pretty good idea of what their purpose was; I never once opened them though. Now that I'm writing dialog for dozens of NPC's from a plethora of fictional cultures Chrome is telling me that thesaurus.com is one of the sites I visit the most, so I think its safe to say my vocabulary has improved.
Last week my wife had to make cookies for a baby shower, and amongst them there were bottles, rattles, and others that needed decorated with icing. Even though the piping bag isn't quite the same as paint brush, painting mini's really does preparing you for decorating cookies. The steady hand for doing lines, blending and layering colors, and being immune to the tediousness of painting 3 dozen cookies the exact same way. Though it should be noted, that while you combination teddy bear, rattle, and rocking horse cookies combined together and painted like a barbarian on a warhorse wielding a giant mace looks really cool, it is probably inappropriate for a baby shower, or so I was told. Several times.
As a player I'm sure you all know that amusing to write up stories and histories for your characters. Its just that being original and thinking up cool stories is hard. The best way to cut corners is to steal stories, and this has pushed me toward doing a lot of reading. In an effort to keep my book shelves from snapping under the weight of all the novels I've read, my wife got me a Nook for any future books. So RPG's have even gotten me new electronic toys!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Jill Shalvis brings us back to Lucky Harbor and introduces us to the quiet, sexy and grieving Ben McDaniel and former bad girl Aubrey Wellington. Two people who shouldn't have any trouble avoiding each other but who just can't keep their hands to themselves. You will find Once in a Lifetime to be a solid addition to the couples we've all come to know and love in the addictive Lucky Harbor series.
Our hero Ben is back in town after years spent away escaping to distant destinations in order to run from his grief. He's Lucky Harbor's golden child who can do no wrong. However, he's just sort of drifting and not committing to any one thing. Then he takes a fix-it job from Aubrey's uncle and the sparks start to fly. I loved how Aubrey and Ben worked so hard to convince the other that their affair was casual, when everyone but they could see how deeply they were involved with each other. Ben is a signature Jill Shalvis hero; hot, sexy, sweet and hoooooottt! Her heroes always make me drool.
Aubrey is the bad girl in town who no one thinks is good enough for perfect Ben. But Aubrey has been dealt some pretty unfortunate circumstances throughout her life that she's not always reacted well to. However, the wonderful thing about Aubrey is she's decided to take control of her life and works diligently to make amends for past wrongs. The transformation we get to watch really makes you fall in love with Aubrey and respect her dearly. In the end, the tables are turned and it's our bad girl who just might be too good for our golden boy hero Ben.
You'll find Once in a Lifetime to be the quintessential Jill Shalvis book in that it is full of funny and sexy characters, steaaaaaaammmmmy scenes and a touching and meaningful happily ever after.

President Goodluck Jonathan has pledged that he will do all that is humanly possible to curb political excesses which are overheating the polity ahead of the 2015 general elections.
Responding to concerns expressed by a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) led by its president, Okey Wali, President Jonathan said that the rising political tension in the country was uncalled for.
The President also said that he had asked for a detailed brief on the security situation in Rivers State and assured the delegation that all necessary action will be taken to ensure adherence to the rule of law in the state and the maintenance of law and order.
Addressing other issues raised by the delegation, President Jonathan said that his administration was implementing the right policies, programmes and projects to accelerate economic development and boost employment in the country.
He called for a little more patience from Nigerians saying that the results of the present administration's efforts in areas such as power supply will become even more apparent in due course.
President Jonathan also assured the NBA that his administration will do all that it could towards the positive reformation and strengthening of Nigeria's judicial system, including the resolution of issues related to increased funding for the judiciary.

Briefing state house correspondents on the visit the NBA chairman Mr Wali, said they are concerned about the state of the national economy, national security, the rule of law, independence of the judiciary, the anti-corruption crusade, elections and the electoral process as well as the situation in Rivers State.
