Smoky Black Bean Dip with Salty Lime Chips
By Foodie Heart
I have spent the weekend living like a single lady. (Put yo hands up!) Okay, not completely. I haven't been out flirting with guys and getting cray (is that what they do?), but I have been to Target twice in 3 days, where I lingered by the nail polish for as long as I pleased, had dinner with a different girlfriend every night, and drank plenty of wine. I haven't even felt a need to do much cleaning around the house, or at least there has been no sense of urgency. Does having a husband bring that out in me? Whatever it is, I have had a few days to myself… and for the most part it has been AWESOME.
Everybody needs a break sometimes, and little did I know that I would turn this potentially bummer of a weekend into something so fun. Okay, so it's Monday and I'm sitting at our usual coffee shop alone, and I'm getting ready for him to come home, but that's a good thing, right? It can only be healthy for us.
Speaking of healthy, I have been having some major conversations with myself about what I should and shouldn't be eating. For instance, the first day alone consisted of skipping breakfast, eating my weight in cookie dough, and going out for margaritas. Last night I bought brownie mix and the newest issue of "Women's Health" at the same time. The girl at the check-out was definitely laughing at me.
Today I am headed to the grocery where I will spend most of my time in the produce section, and then I fully intend on coming home and trying out some new moves from my health magazine. I might even make more of this black bean dip. Beans are good for you. Maybe I just won't eat the whole thing and a whole pile of chips like I did for lunch the other day. Let's just call that our little secret.
Black Bean Dip serves 2 (should*)
1 can black beans
1 lime
1 chipotle chile in adobo + 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
corn tortillas
Cotija cheese
Pre-heat oven to 400. Cut tortillas into triangles and place on cookie sheet. Spray with cooking spray, and lightly squeeze lime juice on them (too much will make them chewy and not crispy), and sprinkle with salt. Bake in oven for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook (undrained) black beans in saucepan over medium-low heat. Let cool before putting them in the food processor. Once cool, puree them in food processor, adding lime juice until right consistency. Add chipotle chile and sauce until desired smokiness. Salt to taste.
Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with Cotija and chopped cilantro, and a final squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy with salty-lime-y chips.

This is the beginning of an exciting time for Republicans in North Carolina (Raleigh News Observer Article about the GOP taking control). Please take time to communicate regularly with our Republican Elected Officials! Contact them to let them know how you feel about important upcoming votes and issues (Keep up with the legislative schedule and events here). Encourage them when they vote the way you like. Don't take their hard work for granted. The liberal Democrats will be working and planning to try to defeat them at every opportunity and the 2014 is not something we can sit back and expect to keep.
If we want solid conservative principles to turn around the government and economy of our great state, we must stay involved. Ask your elected officials how you can help THEM let others know the great things happening in our state. The media won't be reporting the positive outcomes, WE THE PEOPLE will have to do it.

When Madison Square Garden reopened for hockey-related activities on Monday night, Henrik Lundqvist was able to help reintroduce the shiny new renovations to the historic building. Unfortunately, his offense didn't draw much inspiration from their improved surroundings, as the Rangers fell to the Canadiens, 2-0.
Now, his understudy will hope for a better result.
Cam Talbot will make his third start in four games when the Rangers travel to Long Island, head coach Alain Vigneault announced Tuesday afternoon. Talbot made those starts because Lundqvist had sustained an unidentified lower-body injury, an injury that was described as minor, nagging and anything else that could explain that it wasn't serious but was annoying.
Apparently, that same issue is not the primary reason behind Lundqvist's night off, via NewJersey.com:
"No, I feel pretty good but, again, it is a challenge to play back to backs and Talbot is playing the way he's playing," Lundqvist said. "It might be a good decision to split that and we have more games coming up."
Talbot has held opponents to a combined total of four goals on 61 shots against over the span of two games. With Lundqvist coming off an injury and the Rangers appearing in the tail-end of a back-to-back, it's certainly logical to give the King a night off. Of course, the Rangers are in a developing hole as they share a dubious spot in the Metropolitan Division's cellar with the Philadelphia Flyers. But, pushing Lundqvist this early and risking any kind of re-injury would be foolish, especially with a four-game home stand on the horizon.
The Rangers are scheduled to meet the Islanders at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday night.

100 Themes Part 2- Ghost!AmericaxReader Ch.1"Well here it is!" Your father, Arthur said with glee, as he examined the house. You were very excited about moving here, the house was big, beautiful, and had a pool outback! Glancing over at your three year old brother, Peter, you saw he was out cold. "________, wake up your brother." Arthur said. "I'll start to unpack the trunk." Your father climbed out of the car and went to the trunk."Peter.." you called, shaking your tiny brother awake. He looked up and over to you. "Peter we're finally here!" Peter smiled."Okay..." He yawned as you unblucked his seatbelt for him. "Now go help dad unpack okay?" Peter gave an enthusiastic nod before jumping out of the car to help dad. You climbed out and gathered your belongs too. The three of you walked into the house, and noticed it was already furnished, due to the movers coming with your father to the house yesterday and getting the giant furniture in before hand."Now ________, you bedroom is right down the hall." Arthur said as

You mumbled, panting heavily, as well as crying. Peter hurried to your bed and managed to climb on. He hugged you."Don't cry _______..." he begged, hugging you. You muffled words inreadable to Arthur or Peter, but Peter continued to hug you until you felt better. "Feel better sissy?" He asked. You nodded at him."Yeah...it must've been a nightmare." Arthur smiled."Want me to sleep in here with you?" Peter asked, looking up at you. You looked down at your little brother and smiled."That'd make me feel so much better." Peter smiled, and you scotted over for Peter. Arthur smiled as the two of you snuggled up in bed."Good-night you too." he said, shutting off the light and walking out of the room. You lied on your back, as did P
Ghost!AmericaxReader-Chapter 4Once you were finally dressed, you sat on your bed, waiting for that scream from your dad. Afteer about afew moments, you heard it."AH! BLODDY HELL WHAT IS THAT THING!" You heard him wail, his British voice ringing through the hallways of the entire house. You chuckled to yourself as Alfred reappeared in your room, smiling."I think he saw me." Alfred joked, giving a smile."Yes." Suddenly, Arthur ran into your room, his green eyes wide."________! You were right, the ghost is-" he looked over. "Right there!" Arthur narrowed his eyes as he stood infront of your bed. "Stay away from my daughter you bloody git!" He cried. Alfred backed away."Daddy stop!" You cried, slapping him shoulder. He looked over." Alfred is a nice ghost. He wont harm us, he just wants to be noticed." You stated.

You
Ghost!AmericaxReader- Chapter 5"WHAT?!" Arthur wailed. You stood there, unable to respond. A ghost?! A ghost over one hundred years older than you, is in love with you?!

"So what if he loves me?! He's dead, a ghost. We could never havea thing, even if I wanted to." You stated. Alfred felt heart-broken, and a bit angry at your comment. So, he dissapeared, whirling cold air towards, and whispering the words: "Love me." into your ear. You stiffened the the wind stopped."...We need to get rid of this thing now! Do some of your crazy, psychic, ghosty spells to make him go where he bloody belongs." Arthur cried."No!" You protested."________ I'm not having a ghost with anger issues that loves me daughter living in this house. Either he leaves, or we do, take your pick." You flinched at your fathers hars
Ghost!AmericaxReader- EpilougeYears passed, and you soon wound up forgetting about Alfred a bit. He would creep into your mind sometimes, the day you first saw his shadow, the day he showed himself to you, the day he scared your father. It was all good memories. Peter asked weer Alfred was, and why he wasn't coming out anymore a week after Alfred had been sent back home. You told him he went home to his wife and daughter who are waiting for him in heaven.However, you did miss him. Altohugh you only knew him for a really short time, you found him funny, and sweet, not at all mean like your father suspected.Then, one day..."_______! Can you go clean the attic?!" Arthur called from the kitchen."Sure!" You cried, running to the attic stairs and pulling the string to reveal them. You climbed upstairs, and turned on the light as you coughed from the dust. As you began to clean, you saw something. A giant, picture frame? Lifting it up, you looked at the picture and saw......Alfred....Your heart beat sped up, and you

Like, it won't work girl." Feliks said."It'll only be for a day. I want to know what it is I'm missing out on." You said as you walked onto the balcony."But your parents want to like, finish the wedding plans." Feliks said."You need to cover for me. Tell them I'm sick, and I don't want anyone in the room." She said."But they'll bring a doctor in." Feliks said."That's a risk that I'll willing to take." You said. You took an old grown your father had found in the villiage, and given to you after being washed, to use for dress-up as a child. Now, it would be perfect. You put it on, and threw your hair in a simple and messy bun. "Alright, I'm going." Your dog looked at you as you tied bedsheets together, and pieces of clothing, and shimmied yourself down the balcony and onto the other side of the castle. You looked at

"We need to get you home.""Pfft! You are such a bore _______!" England cried. "I-I can hold my locker so don't act like I can't, you bloody git! Hahahahaha!" You chuckled at how bad he was. When he was drunk, he was always so full of energy, but it was still annoying that you had to drive him home and spend the night with his rambles. But hey, what are friends for? You continued for another twenty minutes to get England to leave the bar, but he refused each and every time. Finally, you smirked to yourself."Hey England! I jsut sa Flying Mint Bunny!"

You had taken your wallet with you and you had just enough money to take the bus for about 2 to 3 miles. You had food in your bag, that would last about a week or so. So you foolishly spent all of your money not thinking about what would happen after a week. The bus driver dropped you at a wooded area that looked very eerie to even you. And now, after a couple minutes of walking, you had came to a bright yellow sign that said "KEEP OUT. VICIOUS ANIMALS." Now, here you were, standing there staring at the sign blankly.

"I don't want you to die, (Name)! So please! Drink my blood..." His grip on your arms loosened and he pulled the collar of his red sweat shirt down. He craned his neck to the side for you to get a good look at his neck. The sight of it made your mouth water. You could hear the blood in his vains. You slowly leaned your head towards his neck. The smell of his blood made your fangs enlarge. You opened your mouth wide, wanting to pierce his flesh and taste his blood. But then a thought flashed in your mind which made you pull back slightly.What if you were

You hadn't drunken blood for such a long, long time. You were dying. Dying of starvation. And now the cold too."Huh? O-oh no!""Who's...that?" You thought as you heard snow crunching beneath feet. A blurry figure soon stood above you."Are you alright?" The figure asked in a sort of accent. Canadian maybe. You soon felt hands take hold of your forearms. "H-how long have you been out here? You're almost frozen!"Were your limbs really that stiff already? Well, you have been in the freezing cold for awhile. You felt yourself being lifted and carried.

Currently we have extremely low volumes of cargo credit memos, both outgoing and incoming. This is going to make it tough for us to pass certification testing for credit memos - in fact our tentative intention is to migrate only primes, rejection memos and billing memos through the IS-IDEC file and to deal with credit memos through IS-WEB.
Section 2.3, 2.4, 4.2, etc of the ISPG state that through our Member Profile, we can define which transaction types should be delivered in which format. Please confirm the foll:-
1) We will be considered a fully migrated airline if we submit/receive primes/RMs/BMs via IS-IDEC and CMs via IS-WEB, this information being duly reflected in our Member profile. (Assuming of course that we pass certification testing for primes/RMs/BMs).
2) Our inward billing IS-IDEC files will not contain credit memos. Incoming credit memos, if any, can be viewed by us on IS-WEB.
3) In future, if our CM volumes pick up, we can conduct sandbox/certfication testing for CMs only, after which we can send/receive credit memos through the IS-IDEC file along with the other 3 transaction types.

Hi Shanti,
Sorry for the delay in this response. If you select IS-IDEC for your Passenger inward billings, you will receive all types of billings in this format. However, you will also be able to view all transactions via IS-Web.
Hope this clarifies.

Hi Ashley
Thank you for your answers. However I'm a little unclear about point two.
You have said "yes - we can view all transactions on IS-WEb".
This is good but does the "yes" also apply to the first part of point two viz. "we will not receive any CMs in our incoming IS-IDEC file"?
Please clarify.
Thank you again

Dear Shanti,
Please find the answers to your questions as follows:
1. Yes - you will need to notify SIS Ops once you have fully migrated all transaction types.
2. Yes - all transactions (including credit memos) can be viewed on IS-Web.
3. Yes - this is possible.

text: The Charter and expansive versions of the federal and provincial human rights codes were supposed to safeguard the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Canadians. Rory Leishman argues that this experiment in radical constitutional reform has failed because judicial activists and human rights adjudicators have read their ideological preferences into the law rather than upholding the law as originally understood. "Against Judicial Activism" cites numerous cases to support this argument. For instance, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal and Supreme Court read a ban on discrimination on the ground of transsexualism as being part of the province's human rights code. On the basis of this revision of the law, the tribunal ordered the Vancouver Rape Relief Society to pay $7,500 to a transsexual man in compensation for refusing to admit him into a training course for rape crisis counsellors. Leishman argues that the proclivity of judges and adjudicators to change the law from the bench compromises the rule of law, constricts the historic rights and freedoms of Canadians, violates the separation of powers under the Constitution, and subverts the democratic process.

Military and Veterans' Benefits:
Analysis of VA Compensation Levels for Survivors of Veterans and Servicemembers
GAO-10-62: Published: Nov 13, 2009. Publicly Released: Nov 13, 2009.

The Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) program provides monthly payments to the survivors of those who died as a result of a service-connected disability or while on active duty in the military. In fiscal year 2008, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) paid over $4.7 billion to about 354,000 survivors, replacing a portion of income lost with the death of the veteran or servicemember. The Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2008 directed the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study the DIC program and the levels of payments it provides. This report addresses (1) the extent to which DIC replaces VA disability compensation or active duty military pay lost due to the death of a veteran or servicemember, and (2) how DIC benefits compare to benefits for survivors of civilian federal employees. GAO obtained and analyzed data on DIC payments, VA disability compensation, and military pay rates. GAO also obtained information on survivor benefits under federal employee retirement and workers' compensation programs. GAO did not include in its analysis other sources of income survivors may receive, such as Social Security, private pensions, and life insurance. Lastly, GAO interviewed officials from VA and groups representing veterans, servicemembers, and their survivors.
For more than half of survivors who recently began collecting DIC, the benefit replaced between 35 and 55 percent of the VA disability compensation or estimated military pay lost due to the death of a veteran or servicemember. Because DIC provides generally flat payments, the rate at which it replaced lost income varied according to the amount of prior income, such as VA disability compensation. The most common survivor was an older female spouse of a totally disabled veteran who, in 2009, received $1,154 per month--the base DIC payment--compared with $2,823 per month paid in VA disability compensation to the disabled veteran prior to death. In these cases, DIC replaced 41 percent of prior compensation. There were, however, DIC recipients at the far ends of the scale. For example, for surviving spouses of mid-ranked officers who died on active duty, the flat rate DIC payment represented 19 percent of prior military pay; for survivors of partially disabled veterans who had received relatively low VA disability compensation, the flat rate DIC payment sometimes represented more than 100 percent of prior compensation. When comparing survivor benefits for DIC with those for comparably paid civilian federal employees, DIC benefits are generally higher than survivor benefits paid by federal retirement programs, but lower than those paid by federal workers' compensation. The DIC program's flat payment structure differs from federal programs in which payment amounts are based on employee salaries and years of employment. We found that for most survivors, DIC provides higher benefits than the federal retirement programs because it gives more money to survivors of lower paid individuals, who comprise the majority of DIC recipients. In contrast, DIC payments are almost always less than workers' compensation payments for survivors of federal employees who die as a result of job-related injuries. For comparable employees, the salary levels of nearly all servicemembers in 2009 would result in higher survivor payments under workers' compensation than under the DIC program.

Number of ratings 81 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
As long as you come to class every day and pay attention, you'll get an A. She provides lecture notes for each class, where you just fill out everything while she's talking. For the exam, she tells you exactly what will be on the exam and what specific numbers and figures you need to know. Professor Spikes is super enthusiastic and friendly as well
Easy class. Really interesting. She makes it fun. For the exams you just need to study what she tells you to study and you'll be fine.
Spikes tries to be funny and make the class laugh rather than actually teaching. She relies on the lecture outlines completely. I missed a quiz because I couldn't get back into the city after the bombing and she refused to let me make it up and gave me a zero unless I came back in the summer to take it. Easy if you do it exactly her way.
Had her for developmental (honors) and social. both classes are easy and have no finals. prof. spikes is also really funny. not exactly the best teacher ever, but she provides lecture outlines that are very relevant to the tests
Easiest class of all time. People who say that they don't like her lecture style are jacked up (as she would say). She knows her information well and knows how to make it interesting. You'll get an A if you take notes (which she makes VERY easy to take). She's a very nice person and I find her hilarious.
Spikes should not be anywhere near a classroom. class is funny at times but terribly annoying and frustrating the rest of the time. She does not know her subject, relies on cheat sheets to teach since she doesn't know the material. class is unchallenging, so easy. She does an excellent job at ruining one of the most passionate subjects in psych ...
I hadKaren Spikes for social psych and she is a wonderful teacher. She is very helpful and hilarious. She gives plenty of extra credit. She is very strict with getting to class on time and she also doesnt like to receive unnecessary emails. I loved her class and I would definitely recommend her.
Professor Spikes is seemingly impressive. However, if you actually analyze her lecture style, you will realize that she is simply trying to be funny, and not exactly aiming to foster real learning. Initially I felt that her lectures were great, but I realized, that was just due to her southern accent being funny. I would not recommend her class.
The most inept prof here. Easily intimidated, highly unread on the subject, degrading in her teaching & boring. She plagiarizes the entire course from the book. If you want an easy A & don't mind paying 4k for what is a true insult & disgrace to proper learning, you'll fit right in. For anyone here that seeks the slightest challenge, look elsewhere
Prof. Spikes is awesome! She is really helpful and makes the class really interesting. You'll get good grades as long as you go to class, read what she tells you to and review your notes/attend the review session. HIGHLY recommend.
I received an A in this class, but it was no thanks to Spikes. Plainly put, she is a complete lunatic. Its almost like she hates her students and she treats them like they are worthless. She is just rude and completely unhelpful. I would not take her again.
Professor Spikes is awesome! I highly recommend taking her, she really wants you to do well and gives you EXACTLY what you need to study for the tests. Her tests (in Psych of Women anyway)are all multiple choice and not difficult if you read the materials she suggests. Highly recommended, A++++
SPIKES IS AWESOME! I love her class. She makes the material easy to understand and interesting. She's funny & will make you want to go to class. She hands out note packets and tells you what parts of the book to focus on. She cares about her students & is incredibly helpful!
Spikes is a great professor. She's so much fun and always makes class interesting. She provides you with exactly what material you need for the tests and is very clear. She is hilarious and makes every class fun. She tries to get you out early when possible and is real fair in grading. She cares about her students and is a great lady! :)
I have taken I/O, Develop., Social, & Psych of Women w/ Prof. Spikes. She is an exceptional teacher. Some people complain about her classes being a waste of time or not challenging.But she teaches you to be self disciplined &learn on your own so you can have discussions. I have learned alot from her courses. She is thorough & to the point.
Took 4 of her classes. Don't take any of them if you are looking for DEEP discussion. HOWEVER - she makes class time effortless and funny and if you're looking for a leisurely 4 credits, take hers. Don't be fooled by her style - you need to study! Nice professor, surface-level information.
Her class is very straightforward - she hands out packets and reads off of them, occasionally filling in a sentence. I hate this style. It feels like I'm in middle school. She is also not very good at answering questions probing further - often either deflecting the question to the class or just repeating the question in her answer.
Social Psych. She's a very kindhearted, intelligent and funny woman....but maybe not the most efficient professor. often gets off topic and wastes a lot of lecture time. she's a very easy professor and a lot of fun otherwise!
Professor Spikes teaches Develop., Social, Psych of Women and I/O. I've taken the first 3 and they were 3 of my favorite classes. She makes the material worth learning and her humor adds a lighter mood to the usual boring lectures. Her courses usually has 3 exams, not sure if that's changed. I/O I hear is horrible. Definitely take 1 of her classes!

Soft Persimmon Cookies
Sockmonkeys Kitchen ♦ December 12, 2013 ♦ 11 Comments
Have you ever had someone give you something from their backyard tree, and you had no idea what to do with it…and then they ask you a week later what you thought of it? yikes! I'm betting that at least a few of you have friends like this, and hopefully today's recipe will help you with your "what exactly is this, and what do I do with it?" questions. One of my favorite treats for this time of year is the Hachiya Persimmon. They're perfect for baking, and they have a "pumpkiny" kind of flavor. My friend Erin brought a bag of them to me from her parents' tree, so of course, I just had to make these cookies! Plus, when you make this recipe, there's a really cool science experiment in it…. so call in your kids and WOW them with your awesomeness.
I remember my mom making persimmon cookies when I was young, and I always loved how they were more like special little cakes than cookies. Since they're not all that common, before I jump into the recipe, here's a little backstory on the Hachiya Persimmon:
From the Plant Me Green website:
"The Hachiya Persimmon is an astringent, semi-self pollinating, deciduous tree that produces sweet, seedless (or near-seedless) fruit. The fruit is a deep orange red with a dark yellow flesh when it ripens in November. It is oblong conical in shape. Ripe Hachiyas are unbelievably soft, and are often almost liquefied into a silky smooth pulp inside. They will ripen once picked, so you can leave them on the counter to soften until you are ready to use them. The Hachiya is thought of as baking persimmons and are commonly peeled, pureed into a pulp to add to baked goods. They add stable moisture and a mild, pumpkin-like flavor to cakes and other treats. USDA ZONES: Zone 8, Zone 9."
Now on to the recipe!
Soft Persimmon Cookies
2 cups persimmon pulp
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 cups sugar
2 Tablespoons (yes, Tbsp) vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 325°.
Squeeze persimmons so their pulp falls out into a glass measuring cup, making sure you have the proper amount.
Using a stick blender, purée the pulp. Stir baking soda into the pulp and set aside.
Once the baking soda/persimmon mixture has set (about 5 minutes), you'll have a crazy surprise. The mixture will have turned from a liquid form…to a solid! It will feel like a jello mold, and you will realize that your high school chemistry class would have been way more fun, had they incorporated food into it.
Cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla. Blend in eggs. Add persimmon mixture and blend.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and spices. Add to butter mixture, adding 1/3 at a time and blending well. Stir in pecans.
Drop onto foil-lined baking sheets and bake for 16 minutes, or till tops are somewhat firm, but bounce back when touched. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet a few minutes. Keeping cookies on foil, slide foil onto countertop and let cookies cool another few minutes.
Once cooled, store in Ziploc bags, between layers of waxed paper.
Cookie dough can also be used to make Persimmon Muffincakes!
Spoon dough into cupcake liners, and bake approximately 25 minutes till tops are firm to the touch.
So there you have it – I hope you enjoy…and I'd love to hear what you think of them!

Cooper freshman six strokes back
AUSTIN — He's only 15 years old and making his first-ever appearance in the state golf tournament on a difficult course in windy conditions.
Yet despite all of that, Cooper freshman Cory Churchman delivered a 4-over-par 76 on Day 1 of the Class 4A championships at Roy Kizer Golf Course on Monday.
Faced with a steady crosswind in narrow fairways, Churchman overcame a double bogey on the first hole by shooting par or better on his next seven holes, including a birdie on the par-3 fifth.
Entering today's final round six strokes behind leader Curtis Reed of Medina Valley, Churchman is slated to tee off at 8:15 a.m..
"I thought he played really well, but the wind made (everyone's) scores pretty high today," Cooper coach Guy Bailey said. "He left a few shots out there today, and I think he still has a chance to win.
"He won't be able to leave shots out there again, but if he plays well, he has a chance of winning it."
In other words, the freshman didn't bring his A game, yet was still good enough to challenge for a state title.
"It's a good sign," Bailey said. "He was close to shooting very well today but he just let a few shots get away from him."
Three holes proved costly for Churchman — the ninth, 11th and 13th — all of which which were bogeyed.
"I know I could have shot better, but that's what I had out there today," Churchman said. "I didn't have my (best) game, but I went with what I had, and I'm happy with what I shot."
In order to win, Churchman will likely need a sub-par score in Round 2 and hope the leaders, especially Reed, fall off the pace.
That could prove difficult in a field which Churchman describes as by far the best he has ever seen.
"I can't worry about how good they are," said Churchman, whose mother, Lacretia Churchman (formerly Lacretia Grant), won a state title at Baird in 1986. "I can only worry about my own game and play as well as I can play."
Despite the missed opportunities, Churchman plans no changes in today's approach.
And that might be a good idea, considering he has now played two full rounds on Kiser including a practice round.
"It's a great course," said Churchman, who is trying to become the first Cooper player to win a state golf championship since Bob Estes in 1983. "It's narrow in some places and the wind just made it tougher.
"But a good score is out there waiting. I just have to make some shots and hit the ball real solid."

- A security escort can be provided by Campus Watch for people travelling on campus. The service is available at any time and will usually consist of being accompanied on foot by a Security Officer.
- It is acknowledged that most requests will be during the hours of darkness for single females but groups of two or more will be considered if they consider themselves vulnerable.
- An escort can be requested by contacting internal extension 3300 (direct dial +44 (0)1227 823300), through a College Receptionist or by calling in at Campus Watch.
- There may be occasions when Security cannot respond immediately, either because of competing priorities such as emergencies or serious incidents on campus or lack of resources. When this occurs an estimated time will be given and you should either remain where you are in a safe environment or arrange to make the journey accompanied by others.
- A person feeling particularly vulnerable should not attempt to make the journey alone just because of an unacceptable waiting time. Any complaints about the service should be directed for investigation in the first instance to Leigh Stevenson, Security Manager, either by letter, email or telephone (+44 (0)1227 823829).

A deceased Moody Air Force airman will receive the Air Force's highest honor. Senior Airman Jason Cunningham was a para-rescueman whose chopper was shot down with a rocket-propelled grenade in Afghanistan.
Cunningham was hit by two bullets but continued treating others who were wounded. He died seven hours later.
The Air Force Cross is awarded for extraordinary heroism displayed by U. S. and foreign military personnel and civilians. The only higher award is the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Cunningham is the 22nd recipient of the Air Force Cross and only the second since 1975.
He was a New Mexico native who left behind a widow and two young children.

New Slains Castle
Bram Stoker
New Slains Castle
Built in 1597 by Francis Hay [9
Earl of Erroll], the ruin of New Slains Castle stands firmly atop the cliffs
overlooking the Bay of Cruden and Port Erroll.
New Slains Castle was built on the site of the former Bowness Castle [a square tower house] which was
enlarged and built around a courtyard. The castle was extended over many years resulting in a truly
magnificent family seat.
ew Slains was rebuilt and faced with granite in 1838 by William George Hay [18
Earl of Erroll].
The family was seen to prosper after William married Lady Elizabeth FitzClarence [illegitimate daughter of
King William IV] in 1848.
Prosperity was not to last though as misfortune quickly befell the Earls of Erroll once again.
Early in the 20th century, the castle and contents were put up for sale following more than 300 years of
continuous occupation by the Earls of Erroll.
The castle was sold in 1916 by Charles Gore Hay [20
Earl of Erroll] and bought by Sir John Ellerman the
shipping magnate.
New Slains was offered for sale in 1922 by Sir John Ellerman together with over 7000 acres of land.
It was described by the selling agent as having seven main reception rooms, fourteen principal bed and
dressing rooms, ample domestic offices, the garden and grounds, sporting facilities and several farms.
A flight of marble steps led up to and through the front entrance into an entrance hall which in turn led into
an octagonal hall from which the main rooms could be accessed.
At one time there was an architectural carriage court, tennis and croquet lawns and a walled garden which
was listed as being of historic interest until as recently as 1975.
A 12 foot wall surrounded the garden and divided the vegetable garden from the flower beds.
The stables were built around a courtyard and the series of small spaces and doorways would have been the
staff rooms, kitchen, larders, cellars and store rooms.
In 1925 its roof was removed to avoid paying taxes and money was made from the sale of the lead.
In 2007 outline planning permission was granted to convert the building into 35 holiday flats.
To date no work has been carried out, due in part to the opposition from residents of Cruden and the economic
"Delighted with everything and everybody and hope to come again."
[an entry from the visitors book - Kilmarnock Arms, Cruden Bay 1894]
n Cruden Bay, he had found the haven of tranquillity he had been seeking.
Stoker spent many hours, day and night, exploring the locality after which he would take tea with the coastguard in his lookout.
He wrote a novel "The Mystery of the sea", whose hero, Archie Hunter, had a vision of a grisly procession of wraiths from wrecks on the treacherous
Scaurs coming ashore at Cruden Bay.
In the summer of 1894, he wrote "The Watter's Mou".
A strange melodrama about Cruden Bay in the heyday of smuggling in the first half of the nineteenth century, Stoker refers to the proprietor of the
Kilmarnock Arms [at that time] James Cruickshank ,whose picture still hangs in the hotel reception area today.
"Just then two persons entered the room, one of them, James Cruickshank of the Kilmarnock Arms, who was showing the way to the other,
an elderly man with a bald head, keen eyes, a ragged grey beard, a hooked nose and an evil smile."
On Stoker's return to Cruden Bay in the summer of 1895, '
book was written.
It is said that when the winds blow into Cruden Bay, the sea is churned into such violence that it fills the onlooker with fear.
It was on such a day that Stoker sat near Slains Castle in the wind and rain like some sea bird perched on a rock and slowly, his creation, Count
Dracula began to emerge in his mind's eye...
"...I saw the whole man slowly emerge from the window and began to crawl down the castle wall over that dreadful abyss, face down, with
his clock spreading around him like great wings..."
As he pieced together the character in his mind, he looked around for some realism to connect with his creation. After some thought, he grafted
the Count's character on to the story of the 15th century ruler of Walachia in Rumania, called Voivode Drakula, a dabbler in witchcraft and a lover
of torture and bestial cruelty. (Interestingly, Sir Iain Moncrieff, the first husband of Diana, Countess of Erroll, has an ancestor who married into the
Rumanian family of the same Drakula).
Some say that the fangs of the vampire's teeth were inspired by the jagged Scaurs - the hazardous rock range surfacing out of the sea at the end of
Cruden Bay beach.
In early transcripts Stoker had Dracula landing at Cruden Bay after his voyage from Transylvania.
This was later changed to the North Yorkshire town of Whitby for the final published work.
In 1897 the book was published. It has not been out of print since.
And come again he did, year after year, acquiring a feu and building a house in the hamlet of Whinnyfold, [a second home for him and his
family], situated on the cliff tops at the South end of Cruden Bay.
The house is known locally as "The crooked Lum" (The crooked chimney).
Other literary connections:
Dr Samuel Johnson and James Boswell were guests at Slains Castle in 1773. Johnson said that "no man can see with indifference" the sea chasm
known as the Bullers of Buchan, which is near the village.Dunbuy, or Yellow Rock is also near the Bullers of Buchan, and is associated with Walter
Scott's 'The Antiquary'.
James Macpherson's poem 'The Highlander' (1758) takes the battle of Cruden as its model.

InvictiusIX or Big Blue Intervention as he use to be recently did an excellent write up for Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones. Jones is a player that I've become increasingly convinced really intrigues the Giants at end of round one in the 2012 NFL Draft. Yesterday Ralph Vacchiano wrote up something about how Osi Ueminyora doesn't want to be a back-up and there has long been tension about his contract and his value. Osi Ueminyora's contract also ends after the 2012 N.F.L. season and based on the projected cap space right now the Giants well be letting Umeinyora leave via free Agency. Mathias Kiwanuka will also be a free agent and the Giants could be looking towards the future as they often do in the draft, and strongly consider a DE at the end of round one.
The Defensive end that fits what the Giants look for more than any other defensive end in this draft is Syracuse DE Chandler Jones.
Jerry Reese has said more than once that the biggest indicator to pass rushing success in the N.F.L. is arm length.
Chandler Jones' arms measured in at 35.5 inches long at the combine. For perspective--Jason Pierre Paul's arm length is 34.75" inches.
Yeah, Jones arms are freakishly long. Tom Brady said during the Superbowl "it's like throwing into a forest" with the length of the Giants DE if Jones arms are nearly an inch longer than Pierre Paul's what does that make his arms? Skyscrapers?
At the combine Pierre Paul measured in at 6'5 270 pounds, Jones measured in at 6'5 266 pounds.
Below you'll find a comparison of the two players combine numbers.
Player A
4.71 forty yard dash, 19 bench press reps, 30.5" vertical, 115" broad jump, 7.18 3 cone drill, 4.67 20 yard shuttle
Player B
4.87 forty yard dash, 22 bench press reps, 35" vertical, 120" broad jump, 7.07 3 cone drill, 4.38 2o yard shuttle
Which combine numbers are better?
Player A has a faster 40 yard dash, but has worse numbers in every other category.
Player B seems to be stronger and based on the numbers more explosive, just not as fast.
Player A is Jason Pierre Paul. Player B is Chandler Jones.
Jones is longer, stronger, and more explosive in short areas than Jason Pierre Paul based on the numbers--to say that he might intrigue the Giants is probably an understatement. I think Pierre Paul though is actually more explosive on tape, so I was surprised to see how the numbers played out.
Yesterday, Mike Mayock came out and said that Chandler Jones is a mid-first round pick.
It might get boring watching the Giants draft a DE what seems like every year, but be prepared if Chandler Jones is available at #32 he fits the Giants profile for defensive ends because of his exceptionally long arms and plus athletic ability. The Giants also probably realize he won't be available in round two and they very well could end up drafting Chandler Jones, the DE out of Syracuse with the 32nd pick of the N.F.L. draft.

Several hundred care workers, developmentally disabled people and parents rallied at the state Capitol on Monday, urging restoration of pay for those who assist the disabled in community residential settings. The Legislature cut the rate it pays to agencies that employ the workers in two rounds – first in 2009 and again in 2011.
A few lawmakers say they want to put money back into the budget to make up for the pay cuts that resulted. The cuts were about 61 cents to 65 cents an hour, according to the Community Residential Services Association, which estimates $19.2 million is needed to restore the reduced vendor payments.
"It was 4 percent," said Rep. Ruth Kagi, a Seattle Democrat, who is championing the pay restoration along with Rep. Maureen Walsh, R-Walla Walla.
The services association says entry level pay is about $10 an hour, just 68 cents above the new minimum wage, and 20 cents less in rural counties, and that about 13,000 workers are affected. By contrast, the association says workers doing the same jobs in state-operated facilities earn $13.32 and have far lower turnover rates in staffing.
"It is really a grim situation," Kagi said of the turnover in the private agency workforce.
House Appropriations Committee chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, said the wage pressure is especially high in counties like King where jobless rates have fallen and the care-services pay rate is not much above minimum wage. But he said it is hard to find money for anything in this year's supplemental budget and that rate cuts for many human-services vendors have not been restored.
"I think it would be very hard to do something in this year's budget. We have no money. It will be very hard to make investments this year," Hunter said. He noted that he and Kagi also are looking for ways to invest more into improving early childhood education and child care.
Senate Ways and Means Committee chair Andy Hill, R-Redmond, could not be reached immediately to give his take. But he did announce last week that he has a plan to tap more federal dollars through Medicaid to help reduce waiting lists for services for the developmentally disabled.
Hill estimated there are about 5,300 developmentally disabled people awaiting services.
Sharon Adolphsen and her daughter, Kendra Olson, were among the two busloads of people who joined the rally from the Tri-Cities area in a bid to win more investments in services supporting the disabled. Adolphsen is coordinator with the Benton Franklin Parent Coalition and said Washington can do better to support its disabled communities.
"I got up at a quarter to 3 this morning to be here," Adolphsen said.

This area has a roped climbing area above the road that has mostly harder routes and a nice sized boulder below the road that has lots of routes ranging from super easy to ridiculously hard. Great boulder!
Getting There
For Cars: Drive up the mountain on Steiger Weg in the direction of Speyer Hof. At a sharp right there will be an option of going straight on another road, take it. You should go around the Speyer Hof after 5 minutes of driving. Hug the right side of the building and continue on a small winding road for 3-4 minutes before seeing the first area on your right side with a nice sized parking lot just off the road. To get to the bouldering area just drive you car 100 meters past the first area to a small road that turns off to the left of the main road and has a metal barrier blocking people from driving down it. You can park on the shoulder of the road or in the small parking before the barrier. Once you park walk down the path for 300 meters and you will see it on your left side. Walking: Walking from Bismark you will go on Fredrick-Ebert Anlage right after the tunnel ends for cars. Before starting up the hill you enter a small walking tunnel that brings you to the other side of the road. From here walk up the switchback for 20 minutes before hitting a larger path. On this path you can either go bouldering (left) or go to the roped routes (continue up). If you continue up to the roped section when you get to the road go left and walk for 2 minutes before seeing the climbing on the uphill side of the road. Enjoy!
