News: Bow Wow Stands By Chris Brown, "That's My Little Dude" [Video]
Wednesday, Jun 10, 2009 4:22PM
Bow Wow recently announced his support for R&B singer Chris Brown and said he would stand by him in his alleged domestic dispute with Rihanna which took place earlier this year.
Speaking with radio personality Jenny Boom Boom, Bow Wow discussed how he stood alongside Brown during his first public address of his alleged abuse.
"We were just having fun down in Orlando playing basketball at Shaq's hourse," Bow Wow explained. "Chris is my best friend, that's my little dude. I hold him down. I think the media, when they took hold of it being that was the first time they just seen him and made a whirl wind...The business is business, [his case] don't faze me. Friendships and best friends means more to me. So if he want me to be there for him, I'll be there. I don't really know [Rihanna]. She's a sweet heart and with the utmost respect, but like I said, if my man wants me there for him, I'll be there for him." (Jenny Boom Boom)
Brown is due back in court after a hearing was scheduled late last month.
The leak of a photo showing Rihanna's bloodied face is not relevant to the assault arrest of her former boyfriend, Chris Brown, a judge said. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg described the leak of what appears to be a police evidence photo to the gossip site TMZ.com as "not a good thing" and possibly a crime, but she brushed aside suggestions by Brown's attorney that it impacted evidence to be presented against the R&B singer at a June 22 preliminary hearing. Brown did not attend the hearing. The 19 year-old has pleaded not guilty to assault and criminal threats charges stemming from a Feb. 8 incident in which Rihanna, 21, claimed he beat, punched and bit her as she rode in his rented Lamborghini. (Los Angeles Times)
Chris Breezy recently broke his silence on the dispute via a video to his fans last month.
"I don't do all this talking on the thing, it's just some new stuff I'm doing," Brown said. "I just wanna say 'What up' 'cause I ain't been out there in a minute, but new album gonna be coming soon, we working on it right now. It's called Graffiti, it's got everything on it. Y'all be ready for that. I'm about to drop a single this summer for y'all, so you know, we ain't going no where. Everybody's that's haters, they just been hating. All my real fans, I love y'all. I ain't a monster." (Justin TV)
Aside from supporting Brown, Bow Wow is currently trying to part ways with Columbia Records.
"Number one, Columbia has been messin' up since 2004-2005," he explained in a video earlier this month. "I think Columbia's problem is that they don't know how to work with rappers...I'm really the only rapper on that label...My labelmates consist of John Legend who they work extremely well with, Beyonce who they work extremely well with, but when it comes to rappers they're not really a rap label, they don't get it...They're not young, and I'm a young guy but they're not young, so they don't really understand what the young people want. They got Three 6 Mafia, but when is the last time that Three 6 Mafia have put out a successful album? You can't really blame the artists because the label is the energy." (Ace Showbiz)

News: Shyne Drops Bombs On Game W/ "Guns & Moses" Diss [Video]
Monday, Nov 12, 2012 10:12PM
Former Bad Boy Records rapper Shyne has decided to put his vocals to work by releasing a new freestyle diss titled "Psalms 68 (Guns & Moses)" directed at music rival Game.
Much like Game did with his "Cough Up A Lung" freestyle, Shyne Po decides to rap a cappella.
"This little busta named Game wanna rhyme like Po/ Cause I rhyme like gold, I rhyme like I be climbin' out that Rolls/ The Nine I'll let it blow, put five up in your clothes/ Head shots leave ya slumped, dumped, reclining at ya door, oh," Shyne spits acapella to set things off. The former Bad Boy MC goes on to charge that Game patterned his rap style after the one he came into the game with back with his 2000 self-titled debut. "Only God knows, I'm the idol that you bow too/ Realest alive, your red flag is a costume," he continues before mocking Game's new album title spitting: "Tell Jesus peace and I'ma smile at your wake." (RapFix)
Prior to the freestyle, Shyne addressed the West Coast emcee on Twitter.
"My # 1 student wants an autograph! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYZ5wNlb3SU&feature=youtube_gdata_player ... ," Shyne tweeted November 11, linking fans to his Game collaboration "They Don't Want None."
"How u beat somebody up & they walk away from the fight no blood no teeth missing? Where they do that at? Gtfoh"
"Think for a minuet.......what street guy would think its funny that the street guy he idolized is banned from the USA & the UK?"
"How you a gang banger & u rolling up on dudes half your size with fist???? & u don't leavem in a coma? Braindead? You playing! Life or death" (Shyne's Twitter)
Game initially released a music video freestyle which sparked Shyne's reactions.
"Let's address that b*tch a** n*gga going at Kendrick/Say the album's trash, n*gga you full of gas / Poke holes in you, let you fill up a New York cab / N*gga in Belize all into his feelings 'cause he did 10 years for shooting at the ceiling / Then he gave you a mil, little n*gga should have chilled / Cute curly sideburns, talkin' 'bout he real / Check my resume, any n*gga want it, I bury 'em / Butt f*ck this n*gga, he can't get into America." ("Cough Up a Lung")
The West Coast rap star warned him of the consequences after publicly dissing fellow California rapper Kendrick Lamar's studio debut last month.
"Whenever a shot is taken at Kendrick, I think that's the pool I'ma dive in head-first, whether there is water there or not," Game said in an interview. "Personally, I think Shyne should just back away and let the kid breathe and if not, I don't know, we might find ourselves face-to-face or sh-- that nobody really wants to see happen. Kendrick is non-confrontational, he's not a thug, he's not a gang banger, he's just a dope, hip-hop lyricist, but he's from the streets and he got a lot of ties out here and a lot of good hood n---as with him and I'm one of them."

WEST (Cigarette brand) Digital Sports Watch
Just a promotional cigarette watch?
Maybe so, but it makes for a great sports companion. This has become my favorite sports watch. It sits so well thanks to the flat case back and the wide case. The EL backlights seems to have some problem, nothing I could have fixed on the board. I had a close look when changing the battery. Also, it is running a bit slow. Rare for quartz watches. Those are already all the short comings.
The watch has a great intuitive interface, setting is really easy. And the function list is not bad at all!
1) Main time with date
2) Alarm plus hourly chime
3) Dual Time (setting free possible, thus it covers India if necessary)
4) Timer
5) Stopwatch
And it has a big and very easy to read display. It might just be a promotional item, but it makes for a surprisingly versatile watch and really great sports and shooting companion.

Jacksonville Florida Flammable Clothing Attorneys
Product Liability - Flammable Clothing
Most people might not think of clothing as being flammable, but every year 4,300 people in the U.S. are injured and, on average, 120 die from burns they receive wearing flammable clothing.
Atwilda Brown had no idea. She was making a cup of tea when her defective Blair chenille robe caught fire. The fire ignited quickly and was uncontrollable. She later died from her burn injuries.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled over 162,000 Blair chenille robes and women's clothing after it found they were made in Pakistan and did not meet standards for flammability under the Federal Flammable Fabrics Act. Nine deaths have been reported among women wearing the flammable Blair robes since the recall in April 2009.
In the 1970's Congress enacted the Children's Sleepwear Standard Act which required that certain fabrics resist burns and extinguish before they burn seven inches. The changes brought about a reduction in the deaths from burn injuries.
But the stringent Children's Sleepwear Standard has not been utilized by clothing manufacturers in general. It may surprise the public to know that most of the clothing they buy can be easily ignited.
Not only is much of the clothing sold in the U.S. made overseas where standards are not rigorous, but the 1953 Flammable Fabrics Act hasn't changed much since it originated. Its original goal was to remove from the market garments that were highly flammable.
As a standard, the Act set a "Class one normal flammability" which is basically meaningless. Newsprint passes the test of "normal flammability."
With a designation of "does not ignite," the public may assume that the fabric will not burn, but in real world conditions the fabric will burn and spread. The standard refers to the rate of flame spread and has been called "imprecise" and "misleading."
Regulators could incorporate the children's sleepwear standard into everyday clothing by utilizing a modernized clothing flammability standard. Additionally, children's sleepwear was made safer when, in April 1977, the CPSC banned the use of the chemical retardant, Tris, on clothing intended for children after a government study linked it to the risk of cancer.
Flame resistance can be created by altering the fiber itself to provide more flame resistance. Flame resistant fibers may have a different molecular structure whereby less of the fiber is exposed. In the case of some uniforms, chemical finishes are applied.
The textile and apparel industries could be producing safer garments, but have not. In addition, it would help consumers if clothing fire warning labels were put in all clothes.
In a Jacksonville defective product lawsuit filed as a result of highly flammable clothing, the injured party must prove the clothing was defective, unreasonably dangerous, and this defect caused the injuries. An action may be filed against the defendant that sold the fabric or the clothing and the defect in the clothing needed to be there at the time of the sale. The actions could be negligence, breach of warranty, and strict liability.
While many people say they do not want to file a lawsuit, ultimately it is litigation that has led to more responsible action by children's clothing makers. If you or your child have suffered burn injuries due to flammable clothing, please contact a Jacksonville product defect lawyer at Farah & Farah today.

Checking, CD and Savings Account Promotions at Flagstar Bank
Flagstar Bank continues to offer some competitive promotions on its S.M.A.R.T. products. I last reported on these deals in May, and the rates have stayed the same. In addition, another CD special has been added. The following deals are listed at Flagstar's front page as of 8/08/2010:
- $100 bonus to open the Express Checking Account. According to the small print, "Customer must open and maintain a new primary checking relationship at Flagstar Bank with a $50 minimum balance to receive the $100 bonus. $100 bonus will be deposited into the account within 30 days of meeting primary checking relationship requirements." I was told in May by a Flagstar CSR that a primary checking relationship requires a monthly direct deposit of at least $250. A reader who reported to have signed up in Texas commented that an ACH push can qualify, and the bonus will be deposited 30 days after first direct deposit hits the account. The account must remain open for six months to keep the bonus.
- 1.50% APY savings account with the rate guaranteed for 4 months. After promo period, the rate reverts back to the standard Express Savings Account. No minimum balance requirement.
- 1.50% APY 12-month CD with a partial no-penalty feature. In this SMART Choice CD you're allowed one penalty-free withdrawal during the term, however, it's limited to half the initial balance. Minimum deposit is $500.
- 1.76% APY 24-month Rising Rate CD with no-penalty feature In this SMART Choice CD you're allowed penalty-free withdrawals at the end of each 6-month period. The gotcha is that the interest rate starts off as 1% for the first six months and goes up 50 basis points after each 6-month period. So your money won't earn much until the last year. It's a stealth type of early withdrawal penalty.
To see the promo pages, you have to enter your zip code. In the past, Flagstar promos were limited to their market area (MI, GA & IN). However, this does not seem to be the case for these current promos. Any zip code appears to show the same promos. In May I was told by the CSR that any zip code can qualify. I also asked the CSR if they do a hard credit inquiry in the application process. According to the CSR, it's a "soft pull to just view banking history."
Flagstar Direct
Flagstar also offers CDs, money market accounts and checking accounts at Flagstar Direct which continues to offer two competitive short-term CD deals: 1.25% APY 6-month CD and 1.55% APY 12-month CD (as of 8/08/2010). The advantage of the SMART Choice 12-month CD is the partial early withdrawal penalty. Even though it's only a partial early withdrawal penalty, it seems to be worth 5 basis points. Please refer to my Flagstar Direct review for more details.
Flagstar Overview
Flagstar Bank currently operates around 165 branches in Michigan, Indiana and Georgia. The bank has been hit hard by mortgage problems that started during the financial crisis. It has made some improvements this year with an increase in its Tier 1 Capital Ratio. More details about Flagstar's financial health are available at our financial overview of Flagstar Bank. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1987 (FDIC Certificate # 32541).

Zachary Rodgers | January 4, 2008 | Comments
Members of the Network Advertising Initiative will soon update the group's seven-year-old behavioral targeting principles and respond to the FTC's proposed self-regulatory guidelines.
The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), a consortium of behavioral targeting stakeholders that includes AOL, Yahoo and, soon, Google, is preparing to update its aging behavioral ad targeting principles. The refresh is in part a response to the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) recently proposed self-regulatory guidelines for firms and Web sites engaged in behavioral targeting and in part a predictable result of the technology's evolution. The NAI expects to release new self-regulatory guidelines in the first half of 2008.
As it gathers input from members for the revision, the NAI will also respond formally to the FTC's industry proposal. Additionally, it may decide to expand its membership to include a larger number of firms with an interest in behavior-based ad targeting.
"The NAI principles were created seven years ago to respond to concerns associated with profiling, which was our word for behavioral targeting way back when," said Trevor Hughes, executive director for the NAI. "It's reasonable to say that since the NAI principles were created the market has changed pretty drastically."
For one thing it's grown in scope. In the darkest hour of the dot-com fallout, Hughes said the NAI's ranks shrank to fewer than four members. Today they number above ten, and dozens more may be added in 2008 as members consider whether to expand the group's mandate.
"There's some recognition that... standards for newer practices and more novel business models should bear some scrutiny to determine whether they deserve treatment under a self-regulatory program," said Hughes. "In terms of percentage of the marketplace we feel pretty good [about our representation]... That said there are probably dozens of smaller companies that should belong to the NAI."
Hughes estimates membership could grow to include more than a hundred members should the organization choose to widen its scope. In one scenario, the NAI could assign membership to companies that "gather data in one place for use in another for advertising purposes," he said. That would cover practices such as single-site advertising, and could result in a much broader member base.
With the 2008 initiative, the NAI has entered an active process of meeting with members, conducting multiple calls per week to revise its principles.
As it does so, the group is also preparing to comment on the FTC's recently proposed self-regulation guidelines. The guidelines document suggests a general framework for how Web sites and other stakeholders in the behavioral ad space should communicate with Web users, gather data about their online activities and treat that data once they've collected it. With the release, the FTC opened a two-month comment period, after which the FTC may release formal guidelines.
"The FTC document is notable for its lack of granularity and its lack of specificity with regards to implementation," Hughes said. "The devil is in the details with self-regulatory principles."
Separately, Hughes noted Google has recently applied for membership in the NAI, but declined to elaborate on the company's reasons for joining. Regardless of that application process, the search giant may automatically become a member in the near future should its pending acquisition of longest-standing NAI member DoubleClick close.

The Mexican Primera Division is no more. Mexico's top flight will still be referred to either by that name or by its nickname, 'FMF' by most people, but the powers that be have changed the league's name to Liga MX. The new league is the second of the world's major Fall-Spring leagues to kick off its season, following the Russian Premier League's kickoff earlier on Friday.
Those who make the fixtures usually aren't too kind to the public for Week 1, but they've lined up some very entertaining matches to kick off Liga MX this year.
Jaguares Chiapas vs. UANL Tigres
Friday, 8:30 p.m. ET
TV: Azteca and FOX Deportes
The summer was not kind to Profe Cruz, who lost two of his best players. Jaguares will be without the services of Jorge Daniel Hernandez and Jackson Martinez after their transfers away from the club, and they didn't exactly buy like-for-like replacements. Their home record has been strong in recent years, but they'll probably struggle in their opener against a loaded Tigres team. The core of their 2011 Apertura winning team remains, and they've replaced departed striker Hector Mancilla with La Liga veteran Luis Garcia. Expect a big year from Ricardo Ferretti's side.
Pick: Jaguares 1-2 Tigres
Club Tijuana vs. Puebla
Friday, 10:30 p.m. ET
TV: Univision Deportes
Nooooo, not the dreaded Univision Deportes! You probably don't get that channel, but check with your cable or satellite provider just in case. Both Puebla and Tijuana lost key players this summer, but did well to replace them while adding more depth. Egidio Arévalo Ríos left the Xolos, while Luis Garcia has left Puebla, and both teams have replaced them by signing multiple serviceable players as opposed to finding someone of equal quality. The United States missing out on the Olympics was lucky for the Xolos, since they won't be losing Americans Joe Corona and Greg Garza for any period of time. They're very tough to beat at home and should open their campaign with a win.
Pick: Tijuana 1-0 Puebla
Cruz Azul vs. Monarcas Morelia
Saturday, 6:00 p.m. ET
TV: Azteca and ESPN Deportes
Cruz Azul and Morelia have both been yo-yo teams over the last four years. They've had periods of great success, both of them getting to Liguilla finals, but both have missed out on Liguilla when they had enough talent to be a playoff team. Following this summer's events, this might be a down season for both teams. Both lost some of their best players in the transfer market and their new signings are unproven. Morelia will need a big year from Jefferson Montero, while Cruz Azul will hope Mariano Pavone can replace Emmanuel Villa's goals. Both teams also have new managers that prefer more attacking styles of play than their departed managers, so this game could feature lots of goals.
Pick: Cruz Azul 2-2 Monarcas Morelia
Monterrey vs. Club America
Saturday, 8:00 p.m. ET
TV: Univision Deportes
The best game of the week is on the channel that's hardest to get. FMF, ladies and gentlemen. The champions of the last two tournaments, UANL Tigres and Santos Laguna, along with Chivas Guadalajara will have big expectations this year, but America and Monterrey blow them away for raw talent and depth. There's absolutely no excuse for either team to finish outside of the top five places in Liguilla, and a semifinal appearance should be the minimum goal for both sides in the 2012 Apertura.
America held on to the core of their team, losing only substitute players while adding potential starters Efrain Juarez, Adrian Aldrete and Rubens Sambueza. Monterrey still has all of their key players from their 2012 CONCACAF Champions League winning team and their 2012 Clausura runners-up campaign. This game will feature the most talent seen on one pitch in a Mexican league game this season, and it comes on Week 1. There's not much between these teams, but it would be surprising if Monterrey lost at home.
Pick: Monterrey 1-1 America
Other Matches (all times ET)
Queretaro vs. Club Leon - Saturday, 6:00 p.m.
Santos Laguna vs. San Luis - Saturday, 8:00 p.m.
Club Atlas vs. Pumas UNAM - Saturday, 10:00 p.m.
Toluca vs. Chivas Guadalajara - Sunday, 1:00 p.m.
Atlante vs. Pachuca - Sunday, 7:00 p.m.

1987: Enter Andreas Kisser the new lead guitarist for Sepultura and Jairo T.'s Replacement. This lineup change would lead Sepultura in the direction that would lead them out of the jungles of Brazil and onto the map as one of the best Thrash bands around. Sepultura grew up somewhat from their primitive Death Metal albums Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions and released Schizophrenia which officially transferred them over into the realm of Thrash. This is a drastic change from the previous albums. It has better production while still having that low production feel to it, courtesy of Cogumelo records. Though the "Intro" is obviously ripped from the classic Psycho movie theme but when From the Past Comes the Storms Kicks in, you know you are in for one hell of a ride. Each track is more punishing than the next. The two instrumentals are excellent with Inquisition Symphony being a 7 Minute piece of perfection and the Abyss being a simple one minute song on acoustic guitar.
The lyrics content has matured; instead of songs about the antichrist we have songs about being taken advantage of by cops in To The Wall; which contains the best drum solo section on the album. Speaking of the drums, Igor has definitely improved and only got better with each album. Schizophrenia has a weird production to it that affects the tom drums in the most unusual manner. It sounds like Igor had left and briefly joined the blue man group only to return with a drum set made out of plastic pipes. Don't worry, it sounds awesome and it is one of the things that really stands out on the album.
While Sepultura showed some growth they we're still rather young, so the rather immature ending to album R.I.P. (Rest In Pain) has one of the most comical ways to end an album and brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. Then we are given their redone version of Troops of Doom, which was not included on the original version. Let's just say it beats the original to the ground and then slices its head off. Yeah, it's that good.
Then we have the three bonus tracks. A weird demo of From the Past Comes the Storms featuring poor English and two rough mixes featuring no vocals, bass or solos. All three of them are a real treat to listen to, and the rough mixes actually let you relax a little bit because they are instrumentals despite the fact that they are extremely fast.
Schizophrenia is always overlooked for some reason. It isn't Beneath the Remains, Arise or Chaos A.D. or Roots but it manages to stand out on its own and it is easily worth the five stars. This album is difficult to find though so if you do find it in stores, then buy it immediately, if not then click the buy button now, you will not regret it.

Cooking at Rancho La Puerta {Part 3}
and more not featured on my blog? Subscribe to my newsletter!
Today's post is the third and final installment in my series of posts about my trip to Rancho La Puerta. (Catch up on post one and post two if you missed them.) And I must say that I'm a little sad to be finished with these recaps. Our time at the ranch was so special! At least I have plenty of photos and warm memories to take me back any time I'm craving a little dose of RLP.
During the middle of our week at Rancho La Puerta, my mom and I had the pleasure of taking a hands-on cooking class at the ranch's nearby cooking school, La Cocina Que Canta (translation: The Kitchen That Sings).
Nestled in the hills of Tecate, the cooking school is surrounded by a gorgeous 6-acre organic farm that supplies much of the school and the ranch with fresh produce. Before taking our class, we toured the gardens briefly with the head gardener, Salvador. Coming from Wisconsin in February, the gardens were so fun and refreshing for us to walk through! Seeing all the fresh vegetation made us feel alive again.
Each week of the year, the cooking school brings in a visiting chef to instruct guests in various types of cuisine. All of the recipes, no matter the chef, focus on using fresh produce and seasonal ingredients whenever possible. I had a chance to chat with Chef Denise Roa, the executive chef and director of the cooking school, throughout the evening. She was an absolute delight! I could have talked to her about food and cooking for hours. She told us that the ranch and cooking school try to source ingredients from within 30 miles if possible for the classes and menus at the ranch. (That is, if the ingredients aren't already grown in the beautiful gardens!)
Isn't this kale stunning? I'd never thought of "pruning" kale this way before, but apparently it stimulates new growth. As you know, I'm such a huge fan of kale I could have easily munched my way through the row in a heartbeat!
As we toured the grounds with Salvador, our group (about 15 of us in total) had the chance to harvest some carrots, beets, and some type of heirloom Chinese green bean stalk thing that I'm not remembering the name of. We ended up grilling them like asparagus. So delicious.
And what garden would be complete with a Chief Mouser? This is Lizard, one of the many gatos at La Cocina Que Canta. He was a bit camera shy, but I managed to snap a photo before he scurried away to keep tabs on the field mice.
Then it was time to head into the kitchen and get cooking! We worked in pairs, each preparing a dish that we then served family-style and enjoyed at huge, beautiful tables in the dining room of the school. My mom and I worked together to prepare a delightful Pear & Roasted Squash Soup complete with fried carrot greens on top.
Other ranchers teamed up to make…
- Sauteed Garden Greens with Garlic & Olive Oil
- Shrimp with Tropical Gazpacho
- Grilled Asparagus with Kumquats
- Sweet Potato Gratin
- Roasted Beets with Orange Flower Honey
- Salad with Nasturtium Flowers & Strawberries
- Sweet Cheese Tarts
While the menu wasn't 100% gluten-free or dairy-free, all but two recipes were very allergy-friendly…no nuts, eggs, dairy, gluten, soy, or sugar! Needless to say, I enjoyed a plateful of amazing food and didn't feel "left out" at all.
With so many cooks bustling in the kitchen, it was a challenge to take photos of the finished dishes. But I hope you'll believe me when I say that everything was absolutely stunning with so much color and freshness that it almost was a shame to eat it all. (Almost.)
All in all, our experience at La Cocina Que Canta was truly unforgettable. Sharing a meal with complete strangers in a huge kitchen sounds intimidating, but it was one of the most familial, intimate parts of the entire trip. As we savored our food together and chatted about our favorite ingredients, cookbooks, and recipes, we experienced a sense of bonding that can only be fostered by the act of sharing a communal meal.
After our class was over, we returned to the ranch by van to our casita. In the shadow of the moonlight, I reflected on the evening as we bounced along the winding road back to Rancho La Puerta. And all I could think was just how true La Cocina Que Canta remained to its name: with a wholesome and delicious meal in my body, good company chatting in the van around me, and my mom tucked close by my side, my heart truly was singing.
(My trip was hosted by Rancho La Puerta, but opinions are my own.)

Hallelujah Butter
Submitted By: Hallelujah Acres
A Hallelujah version of one of your Holiday necessities!
- 1 cup pine or macadamia nuts, soaked over-night and drained
- 2Tablespoon Udo's Oil Blend
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup distilled water
- ½ cup organic coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt® (optional)
- Pinch of turmeric for color
- Place all ingredients in a Vitamix or other powerful blender and process until smooth.
- If too thick, slowly add more water until desired consistency is reached.
- Pour into glass jar, cover, and refrigerate or freeze.
- Use anywhere butter would normally be used.
OPTIONS: For a more flavorful butter, add minced fresh herbs, and/or garlic, and/or a little raw unfiltered honey.
Rhonda's Kitchen Tip:Pine nuts (pignoli or pignolia) are the edible, soft, white seed of a number of western North American pine trees. They add versatility in the kitchen with a creamy consistency when used in sauces or dressings and a wonderful texture when used whole. Because pine nuts have a very short shelf life, they should be stored in the freezer.
Spruce up your salads, enjoy a dessert and make every meal a treat.

New York Daily News columnist Zev Chafets has published "The Rabbi Who Loved Evangelicals (and Vice Versa)," in the cross-town competition's New York Times Magazine.
Chafets' report of nearly 4,500 words is a deft and wry portrait of Yechiel Eckstein (left), an Orthodox rabbi and founder of the Chicago-based International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Chafets describes the cultural challenges Eckstein faces in his work. At the Family Christian Center, a megachurch in Munster, Ind., pastor Steve Munson wrongly describes Eckstein as a rabbi who has become a born-again Christian, introduces Eckstein to Munson's father as "Rabbi Einstein" and pronounces his name as "Yek-eel."
Chafets captures an even more awkward moment during a regular IFCJ staff meeting. It involves one of Eckstein's short-lived employees, broadcaster Sandy Rios, formerly of Concerned Women for America:
Throughout this conversation, Rios was clearly eager to join in. And as soon as there was a pause in the discussion, she did. "You know," she said, "the truth is, Christians do want to convert Jews."
. . . "Not by some bait-and-switch trick," she said. "But we believe it's part of God's plan." Eckstein winced the way he had when Pastor Munsey called him a born-again Christian.
"Anyway," Rios said, "we love Jews, notwithstanding their rudeness and hatred for us."
Three days later, Eckstein called me in New York. Rios had been fired, but her gaffe, and the impression it made, was still on his mind. "It's really my fault," he said. "Hiring staff is a problem. Truthfully, it's extremely hard to find people who understand exactly what we're doing here."
Chafets explores the tensions that arise from his work, including feelings among some of his fellow rabbis that he's harming Orthodox Judaism by associating with evangelical Protestants, and questions of why evangelicals are generally pro-Israel.
Chafets' portrait strikes a good balance of witty critique and allowing Eckstein to speak for himself. Here's another passage that describes how Eckstein, who was working for the Anti-Defamation League during one of the great dramas of the 1970s, came to found his organization:
In 1977, American Nazis threatened to stage a march in Skokie, Ill., a Chicago suburb with a large population of Holocaust survivors. The A.D.L. sent Eckstein from New York to help the local community round up Christian support. What he found surprised him. In his next year in Chicago, he discovered that the evangelicals, more than any other group, were prepared to stand with the Jews.
Eckstein reported back to New York like Marco Polo recalling his adventures in China. There were Christians in the heartland, he said, who took the Bible literally and believed that the Jews were God's chosen people. They were, he said, a vast untapped reservoir of support for Israel, Soviet Jewry and other Jewish causes. This report was greeted hesitantly. Few A.D.L. people had ever met an evangelical Christian face to face, but they had seen "Elmer Gantry" and "Inherit the Wind," and they associated Bible Belt Christians with snake charmers, K.K.K. nightriders, toothless fiddlers and flat-earth troglodytes.
In 1980, the head of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Rev. Bailey Smith, seemed to confirm this stereotype when he publicly declared that "God Almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew." The grandees of the Jewish establishment were outraged, but Eckstein saw an opportunity. He contacted Smith and offered to accompany him on a trip to Israel.
In Jerusalem, Smith and Eckstein were given the royal treatment. Prime Minister Menachem Begin, having previously lost seven straight national elections, had few illusions about the efficacy of Jewish prayer. He did, however, have a keen appreciation for Christians like Smith, who believed that the Bible conferred title to the land of Israel on the Jews. Smith enjoyed being appreciated, and he returned home loudly proclaiming Genesis 12:3: God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.
"That was the turning point," Eckstein says. "From that moment on, I had an open door to the biggest Baptist churches in the country."
The following year, Israel bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak. An editorial in The New York Times called the strike "an act of inexcusable and shortsighted aggression." Even the normally pro-Israel Reagan administration criticized it. But the evangelicals saw the hand of God and cheered. When Eckstein called this kind of support to the attention of the A.D.L. home office, he was treated like a nudnik. If Menachem Begin wanted to cozy up to Bailey Smith and Jerry Falwell and other such undesirables, well, that was Begin's problem. Eckstein was told to commune with some respectable Episcopalians.

I have to run out this morning, but for cathartic purposes I had to write something. We had a good run. We didn't play at all like any of us would have liked for our last game, but we still made it to the Sweet 16 and once again, Flynn proved that pound for pound he is the toughest player in college basketball. Harris said he is coming back. Flynn said he is coming back. If those two hold true and Devo does as well we will be in an incredible position. A position we haven't been in in a long time. Losing Kristof! will be tough, but with Wesley Johnson, Kris Joseph, a healthy Scoop and a healthy Mookie, we will have Louisville-type depth when you consider some of the freshman that may be able to contribute right away. Add that to a weakened Big East and weakened big dogs from around the country, we have to poised for a huge run. Let's cross our fingers that Flynn doesn't change his mind (and going out like this can't be what he had in mind...not with his fire) and maybe, just maybe, this year was merely an appetizer.
Plus, if Oklahoma tried to step to us in lacrosse we would win by like 30 goals, so we got that going for us.

Kristin Arbogast
picked up both
wins vs. SDSU.
May 9, 1998
SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah softball team rallied for two wins over Western Athletic Conference rival San Diego State to close out the regular season on Saturday afternoon at Ute Field.
Utah won the opener 5-4 and took the night cap 4-3 to improve to 36-21 overall and 19-13 in WAC play to finish third behind Fresno State and Hawai'i. The Utes, ranked fifth in the West region rankings entering the last week of the season, are still a bubble team to make the 32-team NCAA Tournament field that will be announced at 7:00 p.m. (MDT) on Sunday.
San Diego State finished fifth in the conference with 14-17 record and a 24-45 mark overall.
Kristin Arbogast picked up the wins in both games to improve to 12-7. Arbogast went the distance in the opener, giving up three runs (one earned) and seven hits while striking out four. She relieved Jamie Wilkes to start the fourth inning of game two, allowing just one hit and fanning four in four frames.
Both teams committed four errors in the first game. After falling behind 3-1, Utah scored three runs off of three hits and three errors in the bottom of the sixth. Sandra Durazo took the loss for SDSU, falling to 14-14.
Utah fell behind 4-1 in the night cap, thanks in part to three errors in the third. The Utes pounded out five hits to score four runs in the bottom of the fourth. Sandy Rhea went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Tara Atkins (9-18) pitched 4-2/3 innings in the losing effort.

Across most of the Midwest there are fewer pumpkins, and the sizes are smaller. This is leading to a steep price jump, but that isn't the case here at home. Paul Fleitz said, "pumpkins don't really like one hundred degree temperatures so we were ferreting it a little bit."
The same growing season that squashed the corn crop this year gave local pumpkins a boost. Paul fleitz is the owner of Fleitz Pumpkin Farms in Oregon, OH. He says it wasn't necessarily the amount of rain that helped as much as the rain's perfect timing. "July was really dry and the plants didn't really do a whole lot but august we got a lot of rain and the plants just went crazy and we ended up with our best crop we have ever had".
Just as the plants were producing pumpkins in august, mother nature provided 5" of rainfall which is nearly 2" above normal. Now fleitz has a dense field dotted with tens of thousands of pumpkins, gourds and squash. Fleitz said, "they are actually bigger than normal if you can believe that. It is crazy but we just had a super crop".
This is taking place at the same time the national average for pumpkins are jumping up to 30 percent due to the severe summer drought. Locally the price for jack O lanterns and pumpkin pies are about the same if you buy local. Fleitz said, "well we've got lots of pumpkins so we surely aren't going to raise the price; we will just keep it like we have had it in the past".
Fleitz pumpkin farms are just one of several pumpkin farms in southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio that are in good shape. Despite the drought, all of the local farms that we talked to are having a bumper crop.

A lot of us are excited now about possibly making the playoffs, but I'd like to present another view of it.
A lot of people are saying, "Oh, I'm tired of not making the playoffs" or "Trying your luck to land a superstar in the draft is road to nowhere"
Well I would respond to that with, is making the playoffs a road to somewhere?
New Jersey Nets, 2003-2007. AKA the Post-KMart, Pre-Harris Era.
We were a playoff team much like you guys wanted.
Except we weren't good enough to be REAL contenders, but at the same time were not bad enough to get talent through the draft.
We had no cap space since we had the big contracts of Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson.
We were very possibly one piece away, but we never got that piece. Our best big man during that stretch was arguable Nenad Krstic, who at his peak, was still only a 16 ppg 7 rpg jump shooting big man. Yi plus, you could say.
Since 2001, we don't even have a 50 win season to show for all of our playoff appearances. We don't even have a single conference finals appearance after KMart left.
The rookies we drafted during that stretch? Marcus Williams is now overseas. Josh Boone still doesn't have a job. Antoine Wright is a bit player. Zoran Planinic is overseas. Nenad Krstic is averaging 8 pts and 5 rebs a game as a role player, Avwee Storey and Billy Thomas? Who knows. Hassan Adams? Overseas. Mile Ilic? Overseas.
So you try and tell me how straddling the middle ground is good.
I'm not advocating losing. I'm advocating taking things one step at a time. I'm advocating sustainability.
Once you step onto that playoff picture, and you better be ready with your top tier talent, because you're likely getting role players from the draft from that day on.You better pray that you're able to swing a trade or sign an allstar that takes you over the top. But most importantly, you better have your superstar. You better have your guy who will be making plays at the end of games. You better have your number 1 guy on a championship team, because those guys only come from the draft.
Go ahead and make the playoffs, but just don't whine about it if you have to start the whole rebuilding process all over again in a few years because you apparently weren't ready.
Philadelphia made the playoffs a few years back did they not? Didn't Indiana? Hasn't Chicago been the 8th seed and had a 41-41 record for the last two years?
Just saying. Be careful what you wish for.
A little something to think about from How the Mighty Fall. Try and see how this slightly parallels the nba quick fix
As companies move into Stage 3, internal warning signs begin to mount, yet external results remain strong enough to "explain away" disturbing data or to suggest that the difficulties are "temporary" or "cyclic" or "not that bad," and "nothing is fundamentally wrong." In Stage 3, leaders discount negative data, amplify positive data, and put a positive spin on ambiguous data.
Those in power start to blame external factors for setbacks rather than accept responsibility. The vigorous, fact-based dialogue that characterizes high-performance teams dwindles or disappears altogether. When those in power begin to imperil the enterprise by taking outsize risks and acting in a way that denies the consequences of those risks, they are headed straight for Stage 4.
The cumulative peril and/or risks gone bad of Stage 3 assert themselves, throwing the enterprise into a sharp decline visible to all. The critical question is: How does its leadership respond? By lurching for a quick salvation or by getting back to the disciplines that brought about greatness in the first place? Those who grasp for salvation have fallen into Stage 4.
Common "saviors" include a charismatic visionary leader, a bold but untested strategy, a radical transformation, a dramatic cultural revolution, a hoped-for blockbuster product, a "game-changing" acquisition, or any number of other silver-bullet solutions. Initial results from taking dramatic action may appear positive, but they do not last.
The longer a company remains in Stage 4, repeatedly grasping for silver bullets, the more likely it will spiral downward. In Stage 5, accumulated setbacks and expensive false starts erode financial strength and individual spirit to such an extent that leaders abandon all hope of building a great future. In some cases the company's leader just sells out; in other cases the institution atrophies into utter insignificance; and in the most extreme cases the enterprise simply dies outright
At the end of it all, what matters most is , we need to get back to what we were doing that made us successful before. We have to get back to playing good defense, and we need that guy again who is the best player at his position. Jason Kidd was a superstar. Jason Kidd was an MVP level player. We need that.

Okay, not quite, but Phil Steele (he of the famous pre-season publications) listed Bland to his 3rd Team Freshman All-American team.
He'd been a bright spot towards the end of the year, given how bad our defense was, and particularly kicked butt during the Apple Cup.
I, for one, look forward to another 3 years of watching him play... especially along side Markle.
Here's a link to the official WSU press release.

Controlling email notifications
Is there a way to allow users to control the notifications they get in email. For example, if they would like to turn off the notifications that get sent when someone sends them a new private message.
I don't see any mention of this in the forum or in Andy's roadmap, but it seems like a feature that would be quite popular.

The REA Group, part of the new News Corporation group, has reported revenue growth of 17% to $77.7 million, driven by continued take-up of its premium value-add products across Australia.
Its update was due to reporting requirements of its parent company by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The figures are for the first quarter of the 2013 financial year, ending September 30, 2012.
"REA Group's double-digit growth in the first quarter is the result of our commitment to delivering outstanding return on investment to our real estate agent customers, and the best user experience for consumers," says Greg Ellis, the REA Group managing director.
The REA Group quarter resulted in EBITDA of $33.7 million, which was an increase of 28% on the same period last year.
The revenue increase follows the introduction of its "Highlight" value-add product, which elevates mid-range residential listings to higher among the search results on the site, following its launch in December 2011.
It claims highlight properties secure eight times more views and five times more enquiries than its standard listing.
The group also has a "Premiere" package.
The REA Group, the owner of realestate.com.au and realcommercial.com.au, posted a 29% rise in net profit for the 2012 financial year despite the challenging local property market and a slight decrease in paying agents due to agency consolidation and contraction in Queensland and NSW.
The net profit for the group and its subsidiaries surged to $86.8 million for the year to June 30, 2012, up from $67.5 million in the previous financial year, while revenue jumped 16% to $277.6 million.

Except for the Secret Service agents walking around the village, nothing seemed unusual in Cooperstown Wednesday morning despite the scheduled arrival of President Barack Obama today.
The president is expected to make a mid-afternoon speech at the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the benefits of tourism. He is also expected to stress that America should be open to foreign tourism and view it as a significant stream of revenue.
Early in the week, local officials and residents expressed many desires for the president to visit places such as the schools. In lieu of visits, others expressed a desire to glimpse the president or at least his motorcade. However by Tuesday afternoon, a scaled back visit was being hinted at.
Local officials, who had little information on Monday, were able to provide the outlines by Tuesday: the president would arrive most likely by a Marine One presidential helicopter. The visit, including the speech, might be over in less than an hour.
"If you're hoping to see him, you might as well sit on your porch all day and you'll have as good a chance of anyone of seeing him," said Mayor Jeff Katz.
The Daily Star broke the news about the president's visit on Saturday. Later that morning, in his weekly radio address, Obama confirmed he is heading to Cooperstown to promote tourism.
"Believe it or not, tourism is an export," Obama said Saturday. "If we make it easier for more foreign visitors to visit and spend money at America's attractions and unparalleled national parks, that helps local businesses and grows the economy for everyone."
After a weekend of chatter, small signs of the visit began to pop up on Monday. Some residents started noticing formations of helicopters flying around the village.
"We were doing a leadership and mentoring program exercise at the Clark when we heard and saw them," Cooperstown junior Christina Noto said. "We did the rope course and while we were up there, they were flying over us, about four of them."

The jury trial scheduled today for a former Galveston clerk-treasurer accused of a hit and run has been delayed because of a conflict with one of the prosecution witnesses.
Christine Lewis, 46, is now set for trial Feb. 12 in Cass Superior Court I on a charge of failure to stop after an accident resulting in serious bodily injury, a class D felony. Police say she was the driver of a car that hit 21-year-old Trey McCulley on Sept. 2, 2011, as he was crossing Ind. 218 near Lewis Cass Junior-Senior High School. The crash is reported to have broken McCulley's leg.
Cass County Deputy Prosecutor Linsday Ruby filed the motion for a delay, saying one of the state's witnesses was unavailable for the trial date but available for video deposition in January, according to court documents.
The state also filed a motion to record the video deposition stating that "the evidence will be lost" if the witness's statements are not preserved and if Lewis is not able to confront the witness.
Lewis is represented by attorney Kelly Leeman. Her former attorney, Jay Hirschauer, withdrew his appearance in September.
The charge carries a possible penalty of six months to three years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
