About Bill & Jenny
We both came to France one summer for a few weeks work and never looked back! We threw away office work in exchange for a life outdoors in one of the prime regions of Europe. Whilst there are many great regions to visit, it's always wonderful to return to Burgundy.
Bill & Jenny purchased this cottage in 2012
Why Bill & Jenny chose Braux
A very rare find for just two people. If we didn't have children and dogs, we'd live here ourselves!
What makes this cottage unique
A great house with a private pool and garden yet having wonderful views as well.

The Chattanooga Football Club will get a tough test this afternoon at Finley Stadium when it plays an exhibition game against the Dalton Allstars. Game time is 4 p.m.
The Dalton squad won the Chattanooga FC Cup, an eight-team tournament, on April 23 to earn the right to face the amateur club, which is beginning its third season.
Chattanooga FC manager Brian Crossman said he's excited about this season's team, which he said will have 11 new players on the 30-man roster. However, several potential starters have yet to join the team because they're finishing school.
"We're probably not going to have everybody here for a couple more weeks, so the team on the field [today] probably won't be the same as what you'll see later on," said Crossman, who directed CFC to the National Premier Soccer League championship game last season.
One player in a Dalton uniform who will be familiar to CFC fans is midfielder Luis Salazar, who played for CFC last season. Salazar is moving to California soon, so he won't be around to play for Chattanooga this summer.
Representatives from the Red Cross will be at Finley today accepting donations to help with the relief efforts following Wednesday's storms.
John Frierson is in his seventh year at the Times Free Press and seventh year covering University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletics. The bulk of his time is spent covering Mocs football, but he also writes about women's basketball and the big-picture issues and news involving the athletic department.

Simeon basketball player Jabari Parker. | Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Updated: March 4, 2013 2:13AM
Jabari Parker is a senior in high school, months shy of starting college, but corporations already view the Simeon Career Academy basketball player as a hot commodity.
Parker is a 6-foot-8-inch man among boys who will play at Duke next season and could be earning millions as an NBA player within two years.
Parker also is articulate and charming, qualities that help make him an ideal pitchman for trendy and pricey Skullcandy headphones.
Skullcandy hooked him by signing a contract with his school that calls for Parker and his teammates to appear in advertising material for the company. They are amateur athletes and cannot be paid, though they expect to keep the headphones customized with their jersey numbers, a player told me.
The agreement and details were reported last week by Grid, a publication of Wrapports — which also owns the Sun-Times — that obtained the information through a Freedom of Information request.
Nike and Gatorade also have sponsorship deals with Simeon. Agreements between successful basketball teams and athletic apparel companies have existed for decades.
The athletes become walking billboards for the companies but receive shoes and clothing that otherwise could be unaffordable. In return, cash-strapped schools can eliminate costly uniforms from their budgets.
Yet the benefits always have been uneven. According to the Grid article, Nike has donated gear worth about $26,000 a year to Simeon but has gained more than $1 million in exposure because of Parker's popularity, which skyrocketed after Sports Illustrated featured him on the cover last year.
The agreement with Skullcandy is startling because the terms essentially call for Parker and his teammates to be unofficial spokesmen for the company.
Grid notes, using a quotation from the contract, that Simeon staff must encourage players to "make positive references to the Skullcandy brand particularly during interviews and public appearances."
Additionally, Skullcandy required two days of access to the team for photograph sessions for advertising material.
The terms are nervy and galling. It's exploitation, even if the athletes don't see it that way — yet.
Jaylon Tate, a senior on the team, said he was excited about the deal because former Simeon star and current Bulls star Derrick Rose endorses Skullcandy. Rose gets paid, of course.
Simeon is getting something in return: headphones for its media lab and $1,000 a year through its five-year contract. Additionally, the girls basketball team, which is without stars, has received headphones.
Supplies for the lab clinched the deal, Simeon coach Robert Smith said.
"We're an inner-city school," he said. "We have to be thankful for whatever we can get."
Therein lies a reason Simeon should not be judged harshly, Smith College economics professor Andrew Zimbalist said. "We've got an education model that isn't adequate and is forcing [schools] to accept these deals."
Parker and his teammates are being used and manipulated, he added.
By appearing in advertisements for headphones that cost as much as $350, they're prodding kids to extend themselves for hip accessories.
Simeon is not the only school selling players' soles and souls to get by. It's happening all over the country, Simeon's coach reminded me.
Yet a sponsorship deal reaches a new low when a company airs a promotional video — a commercial — on its website featuring Parker, who extols the virtues of his school before getting to the nitty gritty: He says Simeon is blessed to have those Skullcandy headphones in its lab.

Originally written on 5thRound.com | Last updated 10/13/14
One of the worst kept secrets in mixed martial arts was finally made official Monday. As expected, "UFC 156: Aldo vs. Edgar" was confirmed to go down February 2nd inside Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tickets for the Super Bowl Saturday show go on sale later this week. The event's featured attraction showcases a superfight between reigning featherweight king Jose Aldo (Pictured) and Frankie Edgar. The duo were originally slated to collide in one of the most anticipated 145-pound affairs in mixed martial arts history until the leg Aldo injured in a motorcycle accident forced him to bow out of UFC 153. "Scarface" will be riding a 14-fight winning streak into the shootout. Aldo was last seen posterizing Chad Mendes at UFC 142. The 25-year-old assassin is arguably the baddest featherweight to ever storm the MMA scene. Edgar will be making his 145-pound debut inside the Octagon. The former lightweight champ is coming off six consecutive title fights, half of which were of the rematch variety. A heavyweight shootout between Alistair Overeem and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva serves as the co-main event. However, Overeem's participation is pending approval and licensing by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for March's testosterone suspension. "Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar is a fight the fans have wanted to see for a long time and on February 2nd, the superfight is going to happen," UFC president Dana White said. "Our fights on Super Bowl weekend are always some of the biggest and best and this year will be no different. "In addition to the Aldo vs. Edgar featherweight title fight, we've got Alistair Overeem vs. 'Bigfoot' Silva, Rashad Evans vs. 'Lil Nog,' and Jon Fitch taking on Demian Maia." Here are the card's current roster: Erick Silva vs. Jay Hieron Jon Fitch vs. Demian Maia Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva Frankie Edgar vs. Jose Aldo (UFC featherweight champion)

Recently, my daughter
I was hesitant because I wasn't sure where to start, but she was insistent about her dream to help others for her birthday.
We contacted the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank for help, and Dayna Klein responded with open arms. She was amazing. She helped put together a blog post and link that we could use to help spread the word. It truly helped bring Addison's dream to life.
Addison's food drive was
We were overwhelmed by the response from family, friends, and the community. Addison learned that she has the power to make a change in the world, that her voice and ideas matter, and that it takes very little to make a big difference.
These are things she will carry with her forever.
We would like to give a huge "thank you" to the people who supported her food and fund drive, for the support, kind words, and donations.
We are blessed to live in

I've never asked this before… I'm kind of scared…
Oh goodness, you may have heard about all these people, but I'll give you the ones I frequent back to.
I hope that helps you, they are the main people I listen to on a regular basis.
I started taking pictures for underground hip hop artists that lived in Atlanta and I met either through myspace or Lenny's Bar (a place I frequented at because of my ex boyfriend). From there I did free photoshoots, said I'd take their album covers or press kit pictures. Then my name started getting around, I started charging 50 dollars a pop, and then I got more clients, got better at taking pictures and then finally started charging in the 100's.
It's about networking your brand and being your own walking advertisement. For the guys I shot for free they spread my name around and at the time (myspace) put me in their top 10 and shouted me out every chance they could.
Now I stopped taking pictures of artists and now focus on taking pictures of what I love, sell them in small galleries in the city, or online. I walk all over DC asking who'd sell my prints and whore myself through every social media site. From taking small wedding gigs for friends, to big jobs of taking pictures of buildings.
The best advice I can give you, take advantage of social media networks and work for certain people for free that have a large audience. It worked for me.
I know everyones thought about this one time another. I always said when I was a kid I was going to name my first son Batman, and after I watched the neverending story Atreyu was going to be the middle name. Batman Atreyu. I'm pretty sure I need to reevaluate my naming selections now at 25.
:) thank you very much. I'm actually surprised by people who put up with my life to be honest, and don't worry I tend to post pictures that are pretty as well that have nothing to do with me, lol.
It's your blog, regardless if it's pretty pictures or random reblogs its yours. That's all that matters at the end of the day.
Three years ago when we met, we were different people. You, the suburban Korean that was trying to break into the hip hop industry. Then me, the NY accent foreigner that had hip hop running through her veins. We never agreed on anything, we had no similarities, but we were attracted.
I chased you for months, and then finally you told me you loved me. The heat of our romance was as hot as Atlanta. It was new, different and adventurous. We went every where together, and tried everything. I introduced you to the world from my view and opened you up. You showed me how to make love.
I was there from the very first show. Seeing this shy Asian kid walk bashful across the stage rapping his heart away to a now confident young man owning the mic. We didn't last, your heart didn't last and suddenly the support I gave you turned into being taken for granted. Your priorities changed and I didn't make the cut, Rufio didn't make the cut, we didn't make the cut. I saw you change from the sweet and shy nice guy turn into the gritty on the grind jackass over night.
Hip hop changes people, but the music you were making wasn't the music that once made me fall in love. We became strangers, you started to take everything we had and throw it away in the most selfish manner. I still dug deep to support you, care for you, love you. Every day our relationship turned into more of a liability instead of a necessity.
Finally the day came where we would honestly part. A break up that lingered over a year until I finally had to move 5 states away. You've moved on, and I'm getting there. I look at how much you've change since I've left you in Atlanta, how much I don't recognize you anymore. We tried to maintain a friendship but I knew from day one I wouldn't be able to stay friends for you, not even for the sake of Rufio.
It's time for me to be the selfish one. It's time for me to finally flush you out of my system and check myself into rehab. I told you tonight that I never want to speak to you again, that I want you to promise me that you won't try to contact me in any shape or form, and with crass - you promised. This is something that had to be done, I had to move on for real, and I had to feel happy about myself. I had to burn the bridge that I continued to cross even though I knew every moment I stepped on it, it would kill me. I burned it to the ground.
You won't even fully know how you effected me, how incredibly hurt and destroyed you made me. How you turned me from a confident person to an insecure little girl by treating me like a second class citizen. I won't ever hate you, I won't ever regret our relationship or how incredible you made Atlanta for me. But I will never forgive you, and I will never be able to look at you with the same eyes.
Eventually you will read this entry, and I wish you nothing but the best in your future and in your future relationships. I hope the woman you end up being with treats you right and you finally get the grasp of being in love, especially since I wasn't the woman who was able to show you.
I poured the gasoline, I lit the match, and I watched our memories go up in flames. You were my first love, and my first heart break. I am finally over you.
I had a pretty late night skateboarding and taking pictures, I ended up walking in the house at 8 in the morning. This fact was overlooked by my mother who insisted on me going with her grocery shopping, granted she did throw in an iHop trip to entice me.
After breakfast we headed to Sam's Club. I for one hate Sam's Club, nothing against the chain - i'm just lazy and I feel like I'm walking forever. At this point I start getting sluggish and groggy once we get to the check out. My mom turns around and tells me she forgot the milk and to quickly go back to get it. (ಠ_ಠ)
[this part of the story is handed down to me by my mother]
As I left, the woman in front of my mother asked how old I was. She retorted that I was 25, but I act 10 (yeah thank's mom). The lady then started telling my mom about her son, how he was a recent art graduate, full of tattoos, and had a nose piercing. Basically he was the male version of me apparently. They gabbed about both of us back and fourth like they were on the view (and really, how slow is Sam's Club with check out? I mean dang.) I'm obviously the slowest walker in the world because by the time I came back to our cart my mom was meeting her son (who was sent to fetch bananas) and our mothers were already on first name bases.
Tall, light skinned, sleeve tattoo, and an obvious thrift shop spender. If I had a hipster alert it would be sounding like this. His mother introduced us, "Damian, this is… KC." I was mortified, just because I didn't know who these people were and I felt like I was being set up for something. My mom interjected me before I could say something sarcastic, "He's an art institute graduate also, maybe you guys can work on something together?" (ಠ_ಠ).
At this moment I had three options, I could just sit there silently and make him believe I was remedial, walk away from the cart and go to the car or engage in this conversation. He smiled and started laughing, stuck his hand out to shake my hand. Our mother scooted us to the side so we can have a small conversation while they checked out. "I'm sorry about this entire thing, I had no idea when I went to go get bananas we'd be in this situation." I slightly giggled like I was scared, "Yeah I went to go get milk." He told me that he was 22, a tattoo apprentice in DC and has aspirations to move back to cali (he's San Diego breed). I gave him my quick tumblr biography and kept the conversation as short as possible. I mean, in the back of my mind I was completely embarrassed and trying to compose myself from Harry Potter references.
We exchanged numbers, he's fresh in the Metro area and wanted some friends to hang out with or go out and do things. At the end of the conversation he waved bye to me pushing his mom's cart in the opposite direction I was going. Once I got to the car I slowly put my head up against the glass and sighed very deeply. "Oh my goodness KC he is gorgeous! and his mom liked you! maybe you guys can start a friendship or something?" My mom was far more excited than she should have been. I sat in the passenger seat, buckled my seat belt and closed my eyes. My mom asked what I was doing, "I'm holding a candle light vigil for my life right now. There goes the pastor wishing my pride a happier afterlife. Dad brought daisies, I always loved daisies. Amen." She just huffed and started the car.
I learned a big lesson today, a lesson that will carry on for generations until I have children of my own. I learned to never leave my mother alone in public, and no matter what never go back for a carton of milk. My mom bought groceries, dabbled in match.com, found the only tattooed boy in all of Sam's Club, and convinced a mother that I was normal. She's like a fucking Jedi to me right now.
But he did text me today, I just haven't responded…don't know if I will.
Footnote: (ಠ_ಠ) <— I couldn't express my feelings through words, but this face says volumes for what I was feeling at that moment.
is more romantic than giving me flowers, candy, or a necklace. It will also get you laid quicker.
If and when I do get famous, I always thought about the first thing I was going to do with my new found fame. The obvious choices were with the money I'd pay off my parents debt along with my brothers, pay for my nieces & nephews college education and secure the rest of the money in savings. Family always comes first.
But then I started thinking about today how honestly if I made it with photography in some form or even just being a kick ass writer, I'd turn my place into an artist safe haven. I've met so many people who are struggling illustrators/designers/ect that are incredibly gifted, but don't have the means to even showcase it. We all network and whore ourselves out over every social media outlet possible, lord knows I spend a good amount of my time networking than drinking vodka (which is a lot might I remind you.) So the least thing I could do if I end up making it modestly famous is to take all the people I struggled with, with me. Or at least let them crash on my couches, guest rooms, air mattresses and provide endless amounts of lucky charms and hot pockets.
One thing I learned from going to art school is that you want to collaborate with people who aren't in your field. Make friendships, partnerships what have you because when you graduate, they might just make it big and have a spot for you on their projects. So even if I don't have projects for people, I'll still take them in until they get one.
So if I go big, I'm taking you with me (well, some of you.)
and go save a damsel in distress.
(blushes) COOL STORY BRO! :D
Thank you mel, (kicks dirt around in circles) make me feel all prettyful and shit
Hot guy finding me + exchanging social network information + finding out he's in high school from facebook / me subtracting the numbers in his birth year =
me frantically deleting him from everything.

Virtual Identity and the Growth of Cyber Crime
Thursday, December 17th, 2009 at 2:05pm
In the growing on-line world of quick and unmonitored transactions and communications, virtual identities have become common elements of people's daily lives creating limitless opportunities for criminals to recruit, launder their money, and communicate under the cloak of anonymity. A panel of leading government experts discuss the way that our adversaries use these systems and how organizations can better prepare for the threats they are facing. From a commercial, law enforcement and security perspective, panelists will explain the scope of the problems and the potential benefits that can be derived from new social media

Major Health Center Planned for Cleveland, Ohio, Area
200-bed hospital, surgery center, physician offices and more planned for suburban Cleveland
"Our existing hospitals continue to meet the needs of their communities, and, therefore, they remain an important part of our overall strategy. In fact, we have invested in significant projects at Bedford, Richmond Heights and Geauga as part of our Vision 2010 strategy," said Dr. Demetriou. "The addition of our new Center adds to our ability to serve all the patients in that region."
Pending local government approvals, construction will begin in 2007. The medical office building is scheduled to open in 2008, the ambulatory surgery center in 2009 and the hospital in 2010.
University Hospitals Health System is celebrating 140 years of caring for Cleveland. Its 947-bed, tertiary medical center, University Hospitals of Cleveland (UHC), is the primary affiliate of Case Western Reserve University (Case). Together, they form the largest center for biomedical research in the State of Ohio. The System provides the major clinical base for translational researchers at the Case Research Institute, a partnership between UHC and CWRU School of Medicine, as well as for clinical trials involving the most advanced treatments. Included in UHC are Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, the number one children's hospital in the Midwest; Ireland Cancer Center, designated by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center (the nation's highest designation); and MacDonald Women's Hospital, Ohio's only hospital for women.
For more information, go to www.uhhs.com.
Chagrin Highlands Ltd., is a partnership formed in the mid-1990's between The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc. and STI Properties, Inc., a former affiliate of Figgie International and now Scott Technologies, Inc. As the managing partner, the Jacobs Group has long been one of America's premier owners and developers of commercial real estate. Founded in 1955, the privately-held company remains today as a major national developer of office buildings, retail shopping centers, hotels, and mixed-use projects. Headed by its co- founder and Chairman, Richard E. Jacobs, the firm is headquartered in Westlake, Ohio. In addition to Chagrin Highlands, the Jacobs Group's local properties also include Key Center in downtown Cleveland, the redevelopment of Westgate Mall in Fairview Park, and various other developments in Northeast Ohio and in several other states.

Crochet Sock Series: Sock Heels
Why is it that crocheters and knitters seem to balk at making socks by telling me, the heels are so hard? Really, I can tell you as both a knitter and a crocheter, heels are NOT THAT HARD.
The first thing you might want to think about when we discuss heels is that there are many different types of heels! MANY! and some I am sure that you wont see listed here. But as long as you start with the basics, you will start to understand the construction of the heel, and then trying new things wont be so bad.
So first lets talk about heel types.
First there is the standard, Heel Flap and Gusset. This heel is the easiest to make in crochet. It consists of first a flap. That flap is usually 1/2 the number of stitches of the entire sock in the round. *If you have 40 stitches, then the flap is 20 stitches. On an adult, that flap is usually about 2.75 inches long. depending on your gauge, the number of rows will differ. on a child you usually want about 1.5-2 inches and on a baby about .5 to 1 inch.
Once the flap is completed, then the next step is to "turn the heel". Turning the heel incompasses actually decreasing the number of stitches on the heel flap to create a cupping effect to curve and surround the back
of the wearer's heel. The Gusset portion is then taking that "flap" and "turn" and working again back in the round, decreasing so that the instep of the heel starts to form. this is the part of the foot that is directly in from of your ankle, where the curve from your shin to your foot is. This is usually the part of the sock that needs the most alterations in order to allow your wearer to put the sock on. We will talk more about that in a later lesson.
The next most basic heel is the Short row heel. In this heel type you will actually be creating a "wedge" shape again on 1/2 of the sock. however, you can adjust the number of stitches on this wedge based on how wide or
narrow the foot is.
I have found that the first row of the heel should be comprised of 60% of the stitches around the sock. This allows for the heel to be wide enough as well as giving ample room to allow the foot to enter the sock for those with a medium to wide foot. However, if you have a very narrow foot, this may cause the heel to be too large. In this case, I would recommend jumping down to 40% and doing some math to get the heels right.
Once you have created the first part of the wedge, you will then need to start increasing again, while joining the second "wedge you are creating to the first, what this creates is a complete heel covering from the top of your ankle to the bottom of your foot. Many crocheters at this point will need to adjust the number of stitches that you use for the foot. Unlike the heel flap version, you usually start and end in the round with the same number of stitches before and after the heel. in this case, you will have to make adjustments for the instep of your foot, otherwise the sock may not fit your intended wearer.
These two heels I just described are actually the two I use the most. But there are many other styles!
- The V-heel, or Half Handkerchief heel
- The Round heel, or French heel
- The Square heel, or Dutch heel,
- Modified Square heel
- Band Heel, or German Strap Heel
There is a great website , Sock Knitters that is based on knitting but you can take that information from the site and use it in your math to create these types of heels. And take a look at these pictures of the heel types on Knitting Geek.
If you decide to make your own socks and want to use either of the first two heels that I listed, I am glad to help you out with those! Just drop me a note here on this post to ask a question, or you can use my contact form here to contact me privately. I love talking socks with you all so dont hesitated to ask any questions!
Happy sock crocheting! And dont forget to share photos of what you have made so far! I love to see them!

Good recommendation! I've been looking for something like this for the Mac for a while. A nice GUI, and if you want to compress the movie further (say to DivX), you can use something like D-Vision, which provides a nice GUI to ffmpeg.

Some people might be shocked that I am rewarding myself with a board game for every pound.
It's true, I am truly an addict of board games for sure. I get very taken with beautiful things. I also own several original pieces of art, more than many people I know. I am addicted to that shot of new and beautiful. One way to know an addiction is when a behavior is hurting other aspects of your life and you don't stop.
Now my bills are paid so what is the problem? Well, my place is not huge so storing these games will eventually become a problem. There are also other things I could be spending my money on. I could pay more for house maintenance for example. I may make some home improvements into bonus rewards after the first 15 pounds of games.
On the other hand, it is working very well to keep the rewards close together rather than forcing myself to feel like I don't deserve anything until I lost magical numbers like 10 pounds. What I do feel a little bad about is that if I wasn't doing this reward setup I would probably be buying this many games anyway.
Anyway at least I have an excuse (yay, pound down) so this time the game is Quebec.
Yay, it feels like it has been a long time since I earned a board game reward. I was starting to lose hope in the reward process.
I * just squeaked * in one more pound down this morning. I suspect it is partially due to dehydration from a cold but I'll take it.
I'm drinking lots of liquids but but still getting really dehydrated because I can't breathe through my nose. My voice was a squeak this morning.
This was a sudden drop because yesterday I was way up so I probably won't be this weight tomorrow. That said, the trend is all that matters. I wouldn't be occasionally hitting these lower weights if my average wasn't slowly going down.
Anyway the reward is:
I listened to this talk in the car last night and found it fascinating. I have no experience of child beauty pageants at all so it was a foreign world to me. I don't even have cable so I have never seen the "toddlers and tiaras" show.
Lately I have been making too many exceptions. It is true those of us trying to lose weight need to live realistically and allow for things like weekends away and parties but we need to keep an eye on how often these happen.
I want to pick up the weight loss pace a little. I found that a major event where I will be front and center (big photo op too) is happening next year when I thought it would be in 2015.
One way to make that faster pace happen is to make less exceptions to the healthy eating routine. That's the plan.
Well after dropping three pounds, 1 per day I knew I was in for some fluctuations and I had quite a few. I also had a trip to a cottage where too much beer was consumed and one side trip to a Chinese buffet.
So almost two weeks later have I lost any more weight? Nope. But through exercise I have re-stabilized at close to that 7 pounds down. That makes it time to plan the next three pounds loss. The game rewards for the upcoming loss of pounds number 8, 9 and 10 will be:
Through the Desert - an abstract strategy game which is a category I don't have
Quebec - another interesting looking euro strategy game
and for pound 10 - Giants - a beautiful looking Matagot title
Here's hoping for fitness and gaming happiness as I get these lovely looking games for my collection.

Most of America has already bought into the "Mitt is a rich man's son outsourcer" narrative. And the dems have still got most of the country still thinking they are for the little guy. Of course they are for keeping the little guy little so he can be exploited through class envy, but they have the more powerful narrative. Mitt had better take the gloves off and start showing people exactly what this president has done to advance a totalitarian state, or we're finished.

John Schneider Jr. and John Schneider Sr. on Father's Day 1990
It was 20 years ago today that, while at work in the news room, I got a strange feeling about my 69-year-old father, who was hospitalized in Detroit with what seemed to be a non-life threatening illness. Something told me that I should get to the hospital as soon as possible. After suppressing the urge for a couple of hours, I told my editor, without explaining much, that I had to go. I walked out half-way through a column, and headed east in I-96.
I got to the hospital just as they were discharging my father - not because he was cured, it turned out, but because the doctors had run out of options for treating the effects of a lifetime of heavy smoking.
I took him and mother home, spent a few hours chatting with them, and told my dad I loved him.
"You act like I'm dying or something," he said.
Around midnight my sister phoned to tell me that our father had, indeed, died in his sleep - a week shy of his 70th birthday.
To this day, I remain grateful that I heeded the call and took, what seemed at the time, like an illogical action. Also, the incident convinced me - whether it's true, or not - that there is more to human existence than we fully understand, and I feel richer for knowing that.

Candy Cake
I made this cake for a 2-year old birthday girl. Each tier has a different flavor: top is a vanilla cake with pineapple buttercream; middle tier is white sour cream cake with white chocolate buttercream; and bottom tier is a yellow cake with strawberry buttercream – I pureed strawberries for a more intense flavor.
I also made cake pops in different flavors and colors!

Got 2 Minutes? Watch "More Pie"
The debate that pits AIDS funding against other global health funding (for maternal mortality, malaria, etc.) rages on. Just last week, a Boston Globe op-ed began by saying AIDS has received tens of billions, but chronic, non-communicable diseases like cancer are becoming more deadly, without a similar monetary commitment from the US---as if there should be some kind of trade off, with one getting less and another getting more.
Now Is Not the Time to Step Back from Global AIDS Funding
NPR's Morning Edition recently reported on a visit to Capitol Hill by the Afghanistan Minister of Health Sayid Fatimie. This short report asked the question: should foreign aid for global health be viewed as a way of helping poor countries or should it serve foreign policy objectives?

Tuscaloosa's Bryant-Denny Stadium is the fifth-best football stadium in the SEC, according to a poll commissioned by Athlon Sports.
Athlon ranked the Southeastern Conference's venues based on criteria such as atmosphere, fan support, home-field advantage, amenities, tailgating, the surrounding campus and the like.
LSU's Tiger Stadium tops the poll, and it's hard to argue against them as the most intimidating place to play in the SEC, especially at night. That said, Alabama won their last night game in Death Valley.
The panel of experts entrusted to rank the stadiums included college football announcer and SiriusXM host Tim Brando. Barrett Sallee of BleacherReport, and Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com, which makes it unsurprising that Texas A&M's Kyle Field ranked second.
To be fair, Liucci gave Alabama it's lone first-place vote in the poll.
Bryant-Denny has an amazing home record, according to the article:
Legendary head coach Bear Bryant and former university president George Denny lent their names to one of college football's most intimidating home venues. Alabama is 231-52-3 since opening the building in 1929, and Nick Saban is 36-6 at home during his tenure. In front of the most dedicated fans in the nation, the Crimson Tide routinely bring opponents to their knees with ear-shattering support (just as long as the opponent is a good one).
The entire poll is as follows:
- LSU – Tigers Stadium
- Texas A&M – Kyle Field
- Georgia – Sanford Stadium
- Tennessee – Neyland Stadium
- Alabama – Bryant-Denny Stadium
- Florida – Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
- Auburn – Jordan-Hare Stadium
- South Carolina – Williams-Brice Stadium
- Arkansas – Don W. Reynolds Razorbacks Stadium
- Ole Miss – Vaught-Hemingway Stadium
- Missouri – Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium
- Mississippi State – Davis Wade Stadium
- Kentucky – Commonwealth Stadium
- Vanderbilt – Vanderbilt Stadium

Genre: Historical Romance, England, Victorian Period
Continuing the tale of a scandalous wager concerning the infamous painting of a woman in a gentlemen's club, Callen gives readers more clues to her identity, drawing us into a highly satisfying romance. Callen has a talent for writing strong, likable characters who arouse empathy and then letting them loose in a wild and passionate plot. Fun!
Peter Derby may have wagered he'd unmask the woman who posed nude, but he never imagined that the very eligible Lady Elizabeth Cabot, his childhood companion, would ask him to pose as her fiancé. He got her out of scrapes when they were children, but was too far below her station to imagine anything more.
Elizabeth wants a man and Peter can help her get him by teaching her a few important lessons in love. But what neither of them expects is the real passion that flares between them and the problems it causes. Then there are the rumors that Elizabeth posed for the infamous portrait. There must be some way to put the mystery to rest. (AVON, Dec., 300 pp., $7.99)

The Great Debate UK
from The Great Debate:
Europe is under siege from both the left and right
Elections will begin on Thursday across the 28 European Union member states to elect national representatives to the European Parliament, which regulates trade, borders and some elements of foreign policy. Though this is a continent-wide election, voters historically use it to send a message to their own nation's governing party. With the meteoric rise of anti-European populism on the political left and right, however, things promise to buck that trend this time.
This was not how things were supposed to be. Five years ago, at a meeting of the European Union's heads of state and government in Lisbon, Portugal, European leaders signed a treaty that foresaw these elections as defining the political direction of the European Union. This week's elections are supposed to mark a turning point, as competing progressive, liberal, green and conservative visions of Europe's future vied for popular support.
Instead, Europe is in a mess -- and the future of the European Union seems in doubt.
European Parliament political groups have decided to use the Lisbon Treaty for a power grab, interpreting a vague commitment about political direction as their right to nominate and impose candidates for president of the European Commission. Yet the real winners in this week's election are likely to be the anti-European populists now calling for a dissolution of Europe.
from Global News Journal:
Can a European diplomatic service really work?
As experiments in political unity go, Europe's External Action Service takes some beating.
The budding diplomatic corps of the European Union, with a name that sounds like an off-shoot of Britain's SAS, is supposed to represent the unified interests of the EU's 27 member states to the rest of the world.
from Global News Journal:
EU to tackle gender pay inequality
By Sangeeta Shastry
Men are still paid more than women in Europe but the European Union is promising to narrow the gap.
The executive European Commission set out its plans to address the pay gap between men and women at a news conference to coincide with International Women's Day, saying women were on average earning only 82 percent of male rates in the EU.
Ten reasons to vote in EU elections
– Paul Taylor is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own –
Opinion polls predict a record low turnout in next month's EU-wide European Parliament elections. The Strasbourg-based assembly was once regarded as a toothless talking shop, but that has long ceased to be true. Indeed there are many reasons for Europeans to cast a vote.

Book Description:"You want the dreams they dreamed of to come true-Then They Do."That line from one of country music's best songs in recent memory pretty much sums up the way millions of parents feel about their children.

A fine gift for parents young and old or for grown children in the midst of raising their own families.

Hotels in Palm Beach, Florida, United States of America - your base to discover the city.
Palm Beach HotelsStretching languorously along Florida's east coast, Palm Beach is a land of year-round sunshine. Beyond champagne-sand beaches, the brilliant turquoise ocean extends to the horizon, the view interrupted only by leaning palm trees. As soon as the tropical heat hits you, the vacation atmosphere begins, with music drifting from beach bars and entertainment venues and the thwack of golf balls on championship greens. If you need a place to relax and indulge in a little hedonism, Palm Beach is unbeatable.Things to seeWhen it comes to the beaches in the area, the only question is which one to sunbathe on first. Jupiter Beach, to the north of Palm Beach city center, is filled with lush vegetation and shady palms, where picnic tables invite you to feast al fresco. A stretch of sand gives way to shallow waters ideal for fishing and paddling. The main Municipal Beach, meanwhile, attracts a lively crowd with beach bars and perfect surf conditions. For shopping and entertainment, head to the nearby CityPlace in West Palm Beach, where Spanish-style architecture and illuminated fountains lend a dreamy air to this outdoor complex. You can shop at major brand stores and enjoy people-watching in the central plaza. Keen golfers may make a pilgrimage to Palm Beach simply for its array of courses, and the PGA National tops the list. With world-renowned championship courses, you can test yourself against the best. Hotels in Palm BeachIf you're even considering splashing out on a luxury leisure break, Palm Beach is the ideal place to do it. Its superb resort hotels not only feature full-service spas and luxurious suites, but also private championship golf courses – and it's all available at a very reasonable price. The excellent service you'll receive includes 24-hour receptions and valet parking. There is also a vast array of budget hotels in Palm Beach, offering a great value getaway with sea views and city amenities. The rooms are generally well-appointed, with cable TV, coffee makers, and mini-bars. There is also some self-catering accommodation available. Where to stayThe Palm Beach area, including West Palm Beach, is perfect if you thrive on entertainment, lively beach scenes, and exclusive golf venues. You'll have both the PGA National and the CityPlace shopping plaza nearby, as well as all the sandy beaches and sea views you could ask for. Hotels here are mostly luxury resorts and mid-range hotels, with a few budget options. For a greater range of discount Palm Beach hotels, try the Boynton Beach area. A whole array of cheap hotels is available, and you'll still have a sea view. The attractions of Palm Beach are just a short drive away. How to get to Palm BeachPalm Beach has its own international airport, served by flights from major hubs from across the USA. Since the airport is located just a mere few miles from central Palm Beach, getting there couldn't be easier. Many of the hotels offer airport shuttle services, while public buses and taxis also ply the popular routes to West Palm Beach, and Boynton Beach. Alternatively, you can hire a car. Basically, you can leave the airport and find yourself sunbathing by the sea in less than 20 minutes. Once in Palm Springs, Segway and cycle tours are popular ways to explore the area.

In years past, the Detroit Red Wings were known as a puck-possession team.
This isn't breaking news, but part of what goes along with possessing the puck is winning possession of the puck — as in winning faceoffs.
The Detroit Red Wings lived and died by the faceoff circle Thursday night in a 3-2 Game 4 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins. The Bruins held a 32-27 in faceoff wins, but it was two key goals that came as a direct result of a faceoff win.
Detroit got on the scoreboard first as Pavel Datsyuk won a faceoff to Niklas Kronwall, who rifled a shot past Tuukka Rask for the early 1-0 lead.
Boston's first goal was also the direct result of a faceoff win at the same exact faceoff dot, no less.
Patrice Bergeron beat Luke Glendening on the power play, and Torey Krug lasered a shot over the shoulder of Jonas Gustavsson to cut Detroit's lead to 2-1.
Coach Mike Babcock commented on getting beat in the faceoff circle Thursday night, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com:
The faceoff circle killed us They ate us alive there. Our kids, (Riley) Sheahan and Glennie, they got eaten up in that area a little bit. They end up with the puck a lot and we end up playing D-zone coverage the most.
It wasn't just the kids, either. David Legwand lost both of his draws against Bergeron, and Zetterberg lost his one draw against Gregory Campbell. I can give Zetterberg a pass, as he hasn't played since the Olympics, but Legwand doesn't get a pass.
There's only one reason Legwand is here, and that's because the Red Wings needed depth at center to replace the injured Stephen Weiss.
Back in the Red Wings' heyday in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Kris Draper was a faceoff-winning machine. His best year came in 2008-09 when he won 60.3 percent of his faceoffs during the regular season.
His worst season was the very next year at 52 percent, but he was still winning the majority of his draws.
In the playoffs, Glendening is winning just 30.8 percent of his faceoffs, while Sheahan is winning just 38.3 percent.
Glendening and Sheahan are young — they'll make mistakes, and they'll get beat more times than not, especially when they face Bergeron, who is probably the best faceoff man in the NHL.
But this team cannot sustain success over a long period of time if they can't continue to win more than 50 percent of the faceoffs.

Flying, spiky-haired ninjas with super strength and lasers - that's a one-stop recipe for a sweet videogame for sure.
The Dragon Ball games have always been pretty good, not because they pack in tons of characters from the cartoon, but because of all the anime-based fighting games out there, this series really does capture the spirit of the source material.
Perfect Ten(kaichi)
Nutty, over-exaggerated fighting moves, screen-filling plasma blasts and supersonic combos that batter fighters hundreds of feet through the air all sum up the chaos of this game. There's over 150 playable fighters in here, and they slam each other around with all the speed and crazy ferocity of the cartoons, in huge, open fighting arenas.
The best thing about the third game is the more refined control system. The Nunchuk controls movement, with C and Z buttons making flying characters raise and drop altitude. A is your basic melee attack and B fires lasers. But the gestures are the best bit.
Every self-respecting gamer should have at some point in their lives thrust both hands forward and shouted "HADOUKEN!" like Ryu from Street Fighter, and that's exactly how you perform a Laser Of Death (our unofficial name for it). Okay, you don't need to shout, just move your hands, but why not shout anyway?
All of the game's special moves are performed with mocking motion gestures, combined with holding a particular direction on the D-pad. It's a brilliant feature - that is if you can actually remember them all, which isn't easy. But then, difficulty is a general issue with the game. It looks like a cartoon, but it's one
of the hardest fighting games we've ever played. Enemies shoot around like bullets and will slap the snot out of all but the most hardened fighters.
Still, with so many characters to choose from, online fighting and a host of tournament modes, there are hours of fighting to be had, and fans will be in their element here.

The most fascinating unremarked parallel in the Fate series, to me, is that of Irisviel and Shirou, and particularly that of Irisviel and Archer.
Two beings raised from oblivion by Kiritsugu Emiya, only to become his anchor to humanity and hope for the future. Two selfless nothings made human by Kiritsugu, but left incomplete in the process. Two people who subsumed their will and life to his dream, and ultimately sacrificed themselves on its altar, without truly fully understanding or agreeing with it. But one found herself in the process, and one broke himself in the process.
And what do we make of the strange connection between them that exists in Ilya, the embodiment of familial love in which Irisviel decided she was made whole, and the chance for family that Shirou (and particularly Archer) grasped but could not hold onto? Maybe nothing, except that we can wonder at the way the story of the Emiya family shifts down the generations as it follows incomplete people seeking a way to live.

Displaced New Orleans Community Demands Action, Accountability and Initiates A Peoples Hurricane Fund
Dear Friends:
For those of you wishing to donate to progressive community based African American led New Orleans orgainziations I can recommend this group. Curtis Mohammed and Bob Moses have a long history of struggle in LA and MS. Curtis also has a union history and has done some excellent work building a base with community and labor in NO. Recently they have done some excellent work building a national progressive educational change coalition.
See the info on them attached to see what they are doing and how you can support them.
gene bruskin
We are in the process of setting up a central command post in Jackson, MS, where we will have phone lines, fax, email and a web page to centralize information. We will need volunteers to staff this office.
We have set up a Peoples Hurricane Fund that will be directed and administered by New Orleanian evacuees. The Young Peoples Project, a 501(c)3 organization formed by graduates of the Algebra Project, has agreed to accept donations on behalf of this fund. Donations can be mailed to:

Click here to give to a community-based group organizing those hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina.
Dear Betty,
We've all watched in horror as events unfolded in New Orleans, and one lesson is clear: The people left behind to suffer were left behind because they didn't have the power that richer and whiter Americans take for granted. People in shelters were treated like animals. Government officials separated families. Thousands were simply left to die in the floodwaters.
It is time to give voice to the community--now a diaspora--hardest hit by the hurricane. TrueMajority is working with Community Labor United (CLU), a coalition of community groups that for nine years has worked in what are now the hardest-hit neighborhoods of New Orleans.
Already the leaders of CLU have set up a People's Hurricane Fund that will be directed and administered by New Orleanian evacuees. Money donated to this fund will pay to coordinate activities directed at helping the evacuees in the shelters today, reuniting and rebuilding families tomorrow, and making sure the reconstruction of New Orleans meets the people's needs down the road. They need your help right now. Please click here to help this group speak for the people President Bush wouldn't listen to.
Americans have been generously giving to relief organizations such as the Red Cross to provide the food, clothing, and shelter that evacuees need right now. This charity is necessary and welcome. But in the coming days and months, these victims will need more than that. Government agents will make profound decisions about where victims will live, where their children will go to school, what kind of services they will receive, who gets hired in the reconstruction, and ultimately whether their neighborhoods are even rebuilt and they can ever return home. Today these people are without a voice; Community Labor United is ready to be that voice.
TrueMajority has agreed to accept donations on behalf the People's Hurricane Fund and transfer 100 percent of the proceeds to CLU. To give, just click this link:
By working together, we can empower the hardest-hit victims of Hurricane Katrina.

This is great for this week and freezing for another. Use left over beans and rice (cook extra earlier in the week when making other dishes). If you're using canned, add extra seasoning (leftovers would be seasoned from the previous meal). Stale bread crumbled seems to work fine without affecting the flavor. Season any way you like. Garlic onion is popular, I've listed a taco type here. Think about how the leftovers you are using are already seasoned any play that up. Fiery hot peppers are a great addition too! Freeze first if grilling. Transferring from freezer paper directly to pan has prevented any breaking problems. Wait until they are partway cooked before flipping, and you should have success with black bean burgers that hold together!

Faith's Checkbook - January 26
January 26
God Routs Fear
"Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel" (Numbers 23;23).
How this should cut up root and branch all silly, superstitious fears! Even if there were any truth in witchcraft and omens, they could not affect the people of the LORD. Those whom God blessed, devils cannot curse.
Ungodly men, like Balaam, may cunningly plot the overthrow of the LORD's Israel; but with all their secrecy and policy they are doomed to fail. Their powder is damp; the edge of their sword is blunted. They gather together; but as the LORD is not with them, they gather together in vain. We may sit still and let them weave their nets, for we shall not be taken in them. Though they call in the aid of Beelzebub and employ all his serpentine craft, it will avail them nothing: the spells will not work, the divination will deceive them. What a blessing this is! How it quiets the heart! God's Jacobs wrestle with God, but none shall wrestle with them and prevail. God's Israels have to prevail against them. We need not fear the fiend himself, nor any of those secret enemies whose words are full of deceit and whose plans are deep and unfathomable. They cannot hurt those who trust in the living God. We defy the devil and all his legions.

Castellina in Chianti
Castellina in Chianti is a comune of 2,800 inhabitants. Its setting is along the Chiantigiana road that connects Florence to Siena. The city's origins go back to Etruscan times. The town came under Florentine control starting in the 12th century and was an important outpost due to its strategic position between Florence and Siena.
Sites to see:
- Via della Volte -an underground tunnel used by the guards in Etruscan times. Now it is filled with with shops and restaurants. The tunnel goes around the city and looks different at varying times of day, depending on the quality of light that streams through its small windows.
- Church of San Salvatore - has an early 15th century fresco of Madonna with Child and a polychrome wooden statue of Christ from the same time period.
- The Fortress- with its tall tower offers a splendid panorama of the city and the surrounding countryside. Inside the Fortress is the headquarters of the Archeological Museum of Chianti which displays important archeological findings attesting to the ancient origins of the Chianti region.
Castellina in Chianti is a favorite of Tuscan Muse guests, photographers, artists, cooks and writers who participate in our tours of Tuscany, photography workshops, painting workshops, culinary workshops and writing workshops in Tuscany.

It does not apply to upgrade your current tier.3. What 5$ offer.The internet references claim the offer expired in 2011.Congratulations Cox, you've done it again!And, to make matters worse, you capped the speeds in my area to 1/2 or 1/3 what they were just a few months ago. Using various speed tests, the cap seems to be about 36Mbs, instead of the up to 90Mbs we were getting just three months ago.When file download speeds and consistency in speed are looked at, the average down load speed is not usually what it should be.Evidently, what ever was done to cap also can produce serious "holes" in the data transmission. This has a bad effect on some types of download, such as streaming video.What's almost funny is that it's also showing up occasionally on digital tv cable channels as out of order data, causing momentary "glitches" and small jump backs of the video.

Is the video game console headed toward its inevitable extinction? Will mobile kill the video game star? I hope not.
It's true: The PC is the ultimate gaming machine.
In more ways than I can count, even a mid-range gaming rig is a superior beast to any of the consoles currently on market. My gaming PC is likely more powerful than any of the upcoming next-gen consoles, and I can use a mouse and keyboard with it, or an Xbox controller. I can type and blog and watch movies and play games.
And yet, for all their limitations, I still love gaming on consoles. Lately I've seen a myriad "Why Sony Is Dead" articles and "Why The Wii U Will Be A Flop" articles. The PS Vita is, apparently, little better than stillborn, and the iPhone is going to make all future handheld systems irrelevant. All of this, I admit, rubs me the wrong way, even if some of it does ring true.
True or not, prescient or no, I'm not eager to see handheld gaming machines replaced by 2-year-contract smartphones, or the Wii U unseated by an Android-based console.
More importantly, I don't want the awesome PlayStation and Nintendo exclusive franchises to disappear. True, there might be some advantages to having all titles be cross-platform, but that's not realistic in a multi-platform market; and a single-platform market isn't necessarily a good thing either, let alone a highly fragmented Android market or a closed-but-casual iOS market.
Would these Nintendo or Sony exclusives even exist if those companies stopped making hardware and, more importantly, operating their own platforms?
The almost gleeful projections of the decline and fall of the console – be it Wii U, PlayStation, or Xbox – strike me as wrong-headed from a gamer standpoint.
These companies and their hardware may all have their share of problems, and the current boxes may be old and creaky at this point, but until a viable TV alternative is erected (yes, I know you can hook your HDMI-equipped gaming rig up to your TV) the consoles provide real value to gamers of all types, from casual to hardcore, as well as a great deal of gaming diversity. With indie titles on Xbox Live Arcade and the PSN, that diversity is actually growing rather than contracting.
Of course, I think gamers should own as many systems as they can afford and developers should make games for as many of these systems as possible; my bias is straightforward enough: the more the merrier.
If the consoles do fail, I suspect it will be because of a migration to weaker, cheaper mobile gaming, not because the gaming industry falls head over heels in love with the PC gaming scene. And I suspect it will not mean gamers are suddenly subjected to far more innovative and interesting titles or better content.
Then again, I'll dispense with doomsday predictions. I don't think mobile will kill off consoles. I don't think the Wii U will be a flop, though its tablet-style controller may not be a huge success. And I don't think Sony, however much the company may be struggling, will give up on games any time soon.
I could be wrong. But I'm looking forward to the next Zelda on Wii U, even if that system isn't lightyears better than the PS3 or Xbox 360. And I'm looking forward to whatever next-gen systems the other console makers come up with, too, even if they're not as amazing as a $1000 gaming rig.
