Make sure that you use memory tools that suit your lifestyle and memory needs, so that you'll be more likely to use them. Then make sure that you use them every day. There is no scientific evidence that using memory tools hurts your recall ability in any way. In fact, people who use such tools tend to be more organized and remember better.
There are some things, though, that must be memorized, such as certain names at an interview or a business meeting, PIN numbers, and passwords. How can you make it easier to remember such information? There are several simple methods you can get into the habit of using that can help to maximize your memory power. Here are some examples:
Use repetition. Repeat information to yourself as you are learning it. Repetition forces you to focus on the material and gives you an additional chance to learn it. For example, if you are assigned locker 2415 at the gym, simply repeat the number a few times to yourself to boost your recall for it.
Make a connection. This technique is helpful for remembering people's names. When you are introduced to someone, mentally connect or hook their name with someone you already know. When meeting "Jennifer," think of your friend Jennifer or of a famous Jennifer, such as Jennifer Lopez. Connecting the name in this way gives it a context and can make it more meaningful and easier to remember.
Take a mental snapshot. Many people are unaware of the power of visual imagery. Next time you need to memorize something, try forming a mental snapshot or picture of the word or item (or something related to or sounding like it). For example, if you need to remember the password "apple," visualize an apple clearly in your mind's eye. If you need to remember the name "Tiana," visualize a tiara or the letters of the word "Tiana" in neon lights.
Make up a story. Make up stories that use the information you need to remember. A short, silly, and exaggerated story often works best. For example, if you wanted to remember the license number "PA290F," you might think, "In Pennsylvania, it's 290 degrees Fahrenheit." Storytelling is a technique many people like, because it's natural for people to hear and tell information as a narrative. (Click here for a chance to try out these tools and techniques.)
What do you need to do now? Make these healthy memory habits part of your daily routine. Achieving better memory fitness is not hard, and you might be amazed at the improvement in your memory by making even a few of these changes.

One of my new Sauces
A while back Rob Marion from Them Ohio City Boys handed me over a sauce to try. Hot Squeeze! I really love it and thought I would share it with you. It is a bit Asian in the flavor profile but with a little tweaking rocks out a great BBQ sauce.
I have used it on BBQ chops, Moink balls and a few other tidbits. If you have the chance pick up some. Its nice to have a "new" flavor in the fridge. Often I find that many of the sauces seem repetitive. This was a refreshing change.
Here is my recipe for beans using this sauce
6 slices bacon, diced
2 Large (28oz) cans Bushs beans (or start with your favorite)
1/2 c. Hot Squeeze (add more if you like!!)
1 lb. smoked leftover smoked pork or beef, more or less, or 1 lb crumbled cooked pork sausage
2 cups apricot preserves
2 medium onions, chopped
1 green pepper, fine dice
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. Sweet Onion Mustard (prepared)
1 tsp Buster Rhinos Rib Rub
One Response to "One of my new Sauces"
Hello Diva Q!! I'm the owner and creator of Hot Squeeze and I love that you were introduced to Hot Squeeze through the wonderful Rob Marion! Just one thing to say…. Hot Squeeze doesn't need to be refrigerated!!
Can't wait to try your recipe!! (One more thing, I like to call Hot Squeeze the "Adult Ketchup" – thinking of it in those terms, you get the real idea of just how versatile it is!
Thanks Diva Q!

I have polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) and also tested positive for Anti Big E early in my pregnancy and have been getting the baby monitored twice weekly through non-stress tests and ultrasound/fluid checks since 33 weeks. Everything was going fine until today (baby was passing all his tests and my antibody level has stayed low). When they hooked me up to the monitor this morning, baby boy was moving frantically but his heart rate was much lower than normal. He eventually stabilized and went on to pass his biophysical during the ultrasound. They did monitor me slightly longer than normal, but basically said that he probably just leaned on his cord causing his heart rate to drop (although initially with the way he was moving so much, the nurse said that he could be caught up in it). Cord complications are one of the risks of polyhydramnios, along with still birth, and also pre-term labor (at least this one I don't need to worry about now that I've hit 37 weeks). The doctor told me that I shouldn't worry, that if the baby was truly compromised he would not have recovered as quickly and would have shown signs of distress during the biophysical. She said to just monitor his movements and to call if I feel like his movement has decreased (which have basically been my instructions all along).
But of course now I am paranoid that he's going to get caught up on the cord again. Earlier in the week, my OB told me that I could be induced at 39 weeks, given the complications I've had and the fact the baby was already over 6 lbs at my 36 week growth ultrasound. The MFM specialists haven't recommended induction but I don't think they would be against it once I get to 39 weeks. I really feel like it's not my place to choose our baby's birthday without a good reason. But now I'm so worried I wonder if it's just better to schedule it and get him out of there. I guess I'll talk to DH about it tonight.
I just needed to get those thoughts out. Thanks, ladies.
Me personally, I would opt for the induction. I really don't think the whole "choosing the birthday" concept applies to your situation. It really is a matter of the safety of your baby at this point.
The reason I would go for the induction is really just to have a piece of mind, and knowing there is more at this point they can do with the baby outside than in.
Good luck! But if you do choose to induce, I don't think you should feel bad about that choice. Sorry you have to go through this, that has to be really difficult and scary.

Even then it wasn't quite as good as the bottled stuff despite the names on the labels.
I remember chucking mine out, including a wrapped unopened gas cylinder but it is so long ago I am not sure how far back in time that it actually was! Certainly pre-1991 when I moved house

It's a fair assumption.
I would think the majority of deals will be dead in more like 4 days, if they are much good, and not just someone clearing junk out. Near on 4 months is just going to be unlikely!
- katypea1003 years, 3 months ago #17Show comment tools ReplyI grew up with a soda stream and I remember they made vimto and iron brew.... It was like having your own fizzy drink store at home... probably not very healthy lol. I have one now and the flavours are quite nice, I got it about 3 years ago, and when I called Soda Stream to find out where I could buy the brand named flavours I must have got through to one of the officials of Soda Stream, cos he told me that Soda Stream had been nearly faded out, but was going to be relaunched and going to become the next big thing again because of the impact of global warming... soda streams save energy becasue they do not use electric, and you just wash out the bottles and reuse them so its good for the environment. Anyway the point I was getting to was... the man I spoke to told me that they were in conversations with the big brand names drinks companies swepes i think, cant be arsed to spell it properly, and soon there should be the old flavours back!
good bye

You are currently browsing the daily archive for February 20, 2010.
The overriding theme of today seems to be politics, but what better opportunity to advertise the next activity from the St. Augustine parish for students and other young people here in Groningen. It'll be a lecture on faith and politics, read by Professor Alfons Dölle, member of our parish council, senator for the CDA, and professor at the law faculty at the University of Groningen.
For me personally, my faith is a decisive factor when making decisions, including about whom to vote for. To some extent that limits the field already, since some political parties are incompatible with Christianity. On the other hand, some of the Christian parties present their own problems, since a party's name not always reflects their record in parliament.
And from the opposite end of the issue, there is the question of how politics can and should influence faith. Christ taught us to "pay Caesar what belongs to Caesar — and God what belongs to God" (Matt. 22, 21), seemingly indicating a clear separation of the obligations we have to government and to God. But what if the government intrudes upon the faith, when it limits or otherwise influence the duties, practices, beliefs and teachings of the Church?
Interesting – and unavoidable – questions.
The lecture was already planned with the upcoming municipal elections in mind, of course, but now that we can suddenly expect national elections too makes it extra topical.
I'm no politician, and I'm not really interested in politics and I don't know a lot about politics. I knew that the cabinet had been discussing a possible extension of the Dutch military mission in Afghanistan and that the PvdA (social democrats) had been against that. Last night the cabinet fell over the issue, as the socialist cabinet ministers collectively quit.
Below is the statement made by Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende:
"Later today I will offer Her Majesty the resignation of the ministers and state secretaries of the PvdA. I will place the portfolio's, the office and the functions of these ministers and state secretaries at her disposal. As chairman of the council of minister I have sadly had to conclude that there is no fruitful means by which this cabinet of CDA, PvdA and Christen Unie could continue.
In the past days you have been able to see that the unity was tarnished by established facts. By statements that are contrary to recent decisions as made by the cabinet and reported to the House. Those statements put a political mortgage on amicable debate. They got in the way of diligence. Towards our men and women in Afghanistan, but also in our relationship with our NATO partners.
Today we have tried to see in the council of ministers if trust could be re-established. A reaffirmation of the agreements we made ten days ago in the Treves Hall and which were published in the letter of notice to the House would have laid a foundation for a continued cooperation. The ministers responsible would have been able to propose an option that was satisfactory to the cabinet – if possible before 1 March.
For a minority in the cabinet this was a bridge too far. When trust is lacking, an attempt to agree on content is doomed to fail. At most it would mean the start of a new controversy in the future. Especially concerning the challenger facing the Netherlands: they don't require the easy way, but decisiveness.
The continued existence of a cabinet can never be a goal in itself. It should be about work and welfare in the Netherlands – now and in the future. And about the influence that the Netherlands can reasonable have on a better world. That is the intention of my colleagues and me when we started three years ago. Collectively and individually we experience the defeat of having failed in this. But that does not change the facts and the conclusion we have had to draw.
Now is not the time to delve deeper into the question of blame – let alone to provide a definite answer. I trust that you will respect this."
Law dictates that national elections must be held within three months. And with the public opinion polls heavily favouring populist and right-wing tendencies, I fear the result. While the Christian democrats of the CDA still take the highest share in prospective votes, Geert Wilders' populist PVV is a very close second. It's a scary prospect, although there is always the example of earlier populist parties: Pim Fortuyn's LPF or Rita Verdonk's TON. They started out with a bright future, but soon imploded.
Judging by the media, the general trend would be towards the right, with both D66 and the VVD likely to win seats. The left-wing has already started to block off options, with Green Left leader Agnes Kant axing any possible coalition with D66, whom she accuses of being to right.
So, we don't just have municipal elections to look forward to on 3 March, but also national elections between now and May. No idea yet who I will vote for, so I guess some studying of programs is in order.

Teacher Interventions, Education Policy and Common Sense
There are some indisputable laws in our natural world – If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band, for example. One such law chiseled into granite over the last few decades is that if there's one sector that doesn't understand that relationship between the forest and the trees, it's American public education.
I follow thousands of teachers, policy players, politicians and other interested parties on blogs (~600 subscriptions), newsletters, discussion groups and social media (namely Twitter). I don't have to pore over mountains of commentary or content to compile a convincing list of proof; here's a rundown exposing the blindness and general mark-missing – sometimes deliberate, sometimes not, and sometimes by simply not showing up – that came from 10 minutes of reading.
Teacher Interventions
Alexander Russo notifies us that A&E will introduce this fall a show called "Classroom Intervention" in which struggling, underperforming teachers are smacked with professional reality – namely that they struggle and underperform. Their work will be analyzed and presented to them with strategies/mechanisms to improve performance. I commented:
"From reading teacher-to-teacher discussions on blogs, chats, and events like the weekly Twitter #edchat, I had the impression that all teachers were motivated, future-thinking "lifelong learners" – along with most of their colleagues.
That A&E has rounded up a few teachers in need of improvement will be a difficult reality for many of the education cult leaders to deny."
I poked around the internet and there's remarkably little discussion of this show. As I said, it flies in the face of so much discussion I witness – hop on to hashtags.org and search for #edchat. Rhetoric, ego-boosting and back-patting rules the day – every day.
There's a place for encouragement, but this show raises many fundamental questions about education in 2010:
- Why are these teachers ill-equipped to teach effectively?
- Did they go through a teacher training program at the undergraduate level? What faults in teacher education led them to underperform in the classroom?
- If they were certified to teach by a state, how is it that they enter the classroom without the basic skills they need to succeed? Is the certification process that flawed? If so, how can it be improved?
- Why is it necessary for A&E to do interventions when colleges, certification bodies and day-to-day administrators – from their department heads to principals to superintendents to school boards – are already in place to monitor, serve and improve teaching?
We know the answers to some of these – and there are many more basic questions. The point is that these are significant issues that aren't being discussed by the education sector.
Bridging the Gap Between… Something
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute calls attention to the current divide between education research, policy-making and implementation:
"Bridging the divide between education research and education policy can be difficult, but we came one step closer this week when we co-hosted the first Emerging Education Policy Scholars program with the American Enterprise Institute. The program aims to cultivate emerging talent in the education policy sector."
Yes, it's difficult – and mostly because our public education players have failed to address seminal issues that lead to the difficulties.
The summit for budding ed policy scholars purports:
- To enlarge the pool of talent and ideas from which the education-policy arena currently draws;
- To introduce scholars to key players in the education policy arena; and
- To increase understanding of how the worlds of policy and practice intersect with scholarly research in education and related fields.
TBF and AEI, for all their good works, shows their fundamental misunderstanding of the problem in the very first sentence: Enlarging the pool of talent is less important than recruiting more talented people. It's not that all education policy folks are dolts – they aren't, especially at those two outfits – but the goal doesn't address education's inability to attract high-level talent. Applicants to education-related fields are in the bottom quartile for GRE scores as reported by ETS. Do we really need more of the same – stocking the pond with third-rate fish? – or do we need to find out why the whoppers are choosing engineering and physics instead of education policy, and then find out how to change that pattern?
Aside from the quality over quantity issue, we need to call this what it is: A networking event poorly disguised as an analytical conference. Young folks in the D.C. area will get to shake hands with Mike Petrilli and Rick Hess and attend the all-important "cocktail hour":
"The event will also allow ample time—during discussion sessions, meals, and a cocktail hour—for scholars to build professional connections and share research and ideas."
Think the cocktail hour isn't important to policy wonks? In April, I was at an education event in New York City in which a young gentleman stood up to ask a panelist to give him "talking points for cocktail parties" re: school reform.
That's the education policy culture we've got, folks.
46,000 Hours of "Poker Face"
And, on the ground, we've got higher ed's librarians re-writing and lip-synching Lady Gaga songs. There are quite a few students, employees and faculty in this video – I stopped counting at 16 – who I'd love to introduce to the kids on my block. 93% of them qualify for free/reduced lunch and only ~30% of the elementary school's 5th graders read with any degree of proficiency (~100% are proficient in Gaga).
The librarians can't be blamed for 638,000 people having watched and laughed through their goofy video (which includes a witty Boolean line), though the opportunity cost of it all could have been considered – roughly 46,000 hours have been spent just watching the thing. And that's the rub – On Our Minds at Scholastic asks:
"There are librarians, future librarians, shelves stacked high with books…and Lady Gaga! What's not to love??"
My answer: 46,000 wasted hours within and without the ed community while kids struggle with the basics – the basics those in the video have likely committed themselves to, at least in theory, improving. Harsh, but true.
"No, Really!"
Over at The Educated Reporter, Linda Perlstein advises that we spice up the summer by focusing on the insignificant:
"No, really! One of my favorite pieces to write on the ed beat was about an odd policy on the books of the Montgomery County Public Schools, encouraging teachers to mix up alphabetical order so as to not discriminate against the Z kids. The article took only an afternoon to report and write, and would have been even shorter and sweeter were it not for the Metro editor's superfluous insistence that I include an expert comment and find out—on deadline, natch—whether every other D.C.-area had such a policy on the books. I got more feedback on that piece than anything else I wrote all month.
Maybe you too should look for some archaic or offbeat policies on the books of your school system, if you can't figure out anything better to do before pitchers and catchers report."
I commented on the piece:
"As a guy, I've been a "T" all my life. In most of my elementary school years, we lined up for lunch alphabetically. This meant that in a period ~40 minutes, I spent 10-15 minutes in line and had the balance to eat. Those at the front of the line didn't have to wait for their meals or eat them on a deadline. Hungry 8-year old alphabet cellar dwellers appreciate switching it up now and then.
That it's policy is the part worth noting. We've got such an absence of common sense that we need it to be explicit policy to appear at all – and that's troubling."
Believe it or not, Montgomery County Schools has bigger fish to fry – nearly a quarter of the County's Hispanic students don't graduate, for example. (In fairness, perhaps it's an alphabetical discrimination issue?)
At ParentHood.org, Wondermom3 opines on the issue:
"Wondermom3: I always dismiss my kiddos to lunch by who is sitting criss-cross applesauce, but what do I know? LOL."
LOL, indeed.
Education as a House
If those involved in public education were instead building and developing a household, we'd have the #edchat, ed school and teacher back-patter folks discussing issues like, "What is a house anyway?" while ignoring their inability to produce heads of household who can ensure that the thing actually functions.
We'd have think-tanks talking about how best to build the house while paying too little mind to who's in the construction crew and too much mind to holding impressive neighborhood barbecues.
We'd have the media specialists giggling over drapes, carpeting and design accessories while the roof leaks, the basement is flooded and the foundation crumbles.
And we'd have the journalists – our home inspectors and code enforcers in this analogy – musing about all the goings-on while dodging the charging 800lb gorillas that lay waste to the neighborhood.
We've got some basic questions that need answers.

I read a even greater number of sources (and I actually have proof that I do this, both in the form of output and RSS reader stats, so you don't have to just take my word for it).
Yet I find myself disagreeing with you almost point for point. Which suggests that your assertion that you read a lot is not sufficient grounds for someone to believe what you say.
I won't bother with the point by point refutation…
As I visited the website you mentioned regarding the upcoming 'Classroom Intervention' show. The category for the post is 'made up news' and some of the other posts in that category by the author indicate the posts were fake and actually made up. Seeing that there isn't any discussion or mention of the show on A&E's website, I tend to believe that this show is actually made up as well.
Classroom Intervention is a good idea to evaluate teacher's performance in order for them to be better in the future. I wonder why some teacher's are ill-equipped. Maybe teaching is not their true passion. Nowadays, students should look for schools that offer quality education with the best instructors.

Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
After testifying before the British Parliament last week, Rupert Murdoch returned to the United States to be greeted with more bad news: The Justice Department is opening up an inquiry into allegations of computer hacking by News Corp's American advertising wing, News America Marketing. The New York Times' David Carr revisited News America's troubled history with "anti-competitive behavior" in a column on Monday. On Wednesday, New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg wrote to Eric Holder calling for a federal investigation into the hacking claims, pointing back to a similar request he had made back in 2005.
What's this other hacking scandal all about?
News America was accused in a 2009 lawsuit of hacking into the computers of one of its competitors, Floorgraphics Inc., to steal detailed information about their sales, clients and finances. Floorgraphics said they first realized they were being hacked in 2004, when they discovered intrusions from computers with IP addresses registered to News America. The company claimed that their information was accessed at least 11 times over four months and that they started losing important clients to News America shortly afterward, leading to a round of layoffs.
There was an FBI investigation into the hacking allegations in 2004, but it didn't end up going anywhere.
Why would News America want to do that?
News America and Floorgraphics Inc. both provide services for clients to promote their products in grocery stores.
According to court testimony from one of the founders of Floorgraphics, George Rebh, News America CEO Paul Carlucci expressed interest in buying the company years before the hacking incident. Carlucci then threatened them after Floorgraphics declined. From the Guardian:
According to transcripts of a trial that took place 10 years after the lunch, the Rebh brothers were astonished. No, they replied, they only wanted to talk about working together and had no intention of selling. George Rebh told the jury that Carlucci then said: "From now on, consider us your competitor and understand this: if you ever get into any of our businesses, I will destroy you. I work for a man who wants it all, and doesn't understand anybody telling him he can't have it all."
News Corp later denied that Carlucci had said this.
Has News America been caught up in any other similar lawsuits?
News America was involved in lawsuits with two other competitors, Valassis Communications and Insignia Systems, who accused News America of engaging in predatory business practices and violating U.S. antitrust law. These cases didn't involve hacking. News Corp settled with Valassis for $500 million and with Insignia for $125 million.
How did the Floorgraphics lawsuit end?
News America settled out of court with Floorgraphics for $29.5 million a little over a week into the trial and then bought the company within the same week.
What happened to the guy who was running News America at the time of this alleged hacking?
Paul Carlucci is now the publisher of the New York Post and is still the CEO of News America.
What does this have to do with the phone hacking scandal in the U.K.?
Nothing so far, but journalists are latching onto it as a window into News Corp's overall culture. The New York Times' Carr has pointed out that there are interesting parallels in terms of how News Corp moved quickly to settle out of court, ensuring that evidence remains sealed and plaintiffs can't talk.
So, wait; how many investigations into News Corp are going on in the United States?

Our first real disagreement erupted at the kitchen table on a Saturday morning in late May. Aubrey and I hardly knew each other at the time. We had spent a total of three weekends together since we met in early March—the first on a blissful fishing trip in the Ozarks, the other two trading visits between his home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and mine in Memphis. We had both been married before: he, a recent widower; I, married twice, a divorcee and a widow. He was retired. I was the owner of a contemporary art gallery in Memphis and a partner in a gallery on 57th Street in New York City. We'd been introduced by his cousin from Baltimore, a lifelong friend of mine. The attraction was instantaneous, so much so that we spent those six days together in pure enjoyment of our late-in-life pleasures and commonalities, believing that each of us had found perfection in the other. Without warning, during our second cup of coffee after breakfast, we began having a stupid argument.
"You're really a stubborn broad," Aubrey said in response to my refusal to spend the remainder of the morning with him.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Whirlpool is conducting a consumer contest to locate the worst "laundry nightmares."
Experts from Whirlpool Corp.'s Institute of Fabric Science (WIFS) say that a number of common laundry mistakes are frustrating, but avoidable.
In a Whirlpool survey conducted online in November by Harris Interactive 59% of adults described themselves as at least very competent at doing laundry. But Whirlpool noted that there are many potential pitfalls in the laundry process.
"Washers and dryers have certainly come a long way - from sensing the size of a load and adjusting the water and temperature accordingly to providing stain tips right from your washer," said Tremitchell Wright, consumer scientist, Institute of Fabric Science. "But the human element still plays a tremendous role in the final outcome of your laundry. From the initial sorting through the final folding, we've noticed numerous points where consumers simply succumb to laundry myths and misconceptions, ultimately causing some truly scary results."
The contest closes Sept. 16, 2010. Consumers can enter the contest at: www.facebook.com/InstituteofFabricScience

Tiger Teams Split Tuesday Night Fare at CCC
CLARKSDALE Two JUCO Tiger teams split Tuesday nights MACJC Northern Division fare with the visiting Northeast Lady Tigers dominating the hometown Coahoma Community College women 69-47 and CCCs men defeating Northeast in a sizzling barn burner 75-62.
Laying low and trailing 36-34 in the first half, the Coahoma Tigers ignited in the second and finished with 11 three-point baskets to five for Northeast.
CCCs Patrick Brown hit seven out of 11 triples; Stacy Regular nailed two out of four attempts; and Rigueson Desorvil sank two out of two.
Scoring triples for Northeast were Tadarious Coburn and Billy Jackson, each with two out of two attempts, and Markeevius Brown scoring one of two.
Pumped with vitality, Coahomas point guard Stacy Regular opened CCCs scoring with a triple.
However, Northeasts Coburn and KeDorian Sullivan beat a steady path to the basket and amassed a 23-12 point lead until a failed slam dunk sparked delight from the hometown crowd and Patrick Brown hit his first triple.
Browns second three-pointer decreased Coahomas deficit 25-21 with six minutes remaining in the half; another swished the basket (33-29) at the one-minute mark; and a third (36-34) at the buzzer.
Northeasts Coburn showed off his three-point eagle eye to open the second half.
CCCs Brown answered with another elevating Coahoma into its first lead: 41-40 another: 44-40; and five more points from Browns hot hand: 46-42 and 49-42.
Joining the contagious scoring was Regulars kamikaze defense and scrappy team play escalating into the final win.
Leading the scoring for Coahoma was Brown with 23 points; Regular with 14; Desorvil with 12; Darcee Carson, 10; Jonathan Ankston, 7; Charles Nash, 3; and Tavin Askew, 1.
Scoring for Northeast were Coburn, 29; Sullivan, 11; Jackson, 6; Brown, 3; Ian Burress, Acie Vance, Kendrick Lesley, Romeo Johnson, Ladarius, and Johnnie McGhee, all with 2 each; and Malcolm Hamilton, 1.
In the first game, the Lady Tigers from Northeast led by Talisa Boyd, Angela Allen, and Katie Garvin scored consistently ahead of Coahomas Bridgette Griffin, Jasmine Brown, and Breanna Wiley, gradually eased into a 10-point lead that increased into 15 at halftime (31-16.)
Fourteen turnovers contributed to the spirit of their game despite triples scored by Raven Whipps, Jasmine Brown, and Krystal Pearson.
However, the Northeast teamwork reflected a near perfect machine that kept getting better and better.
Scoring for CCC were Jasmine Brown with 13 points; Breanna Wiley, 10; Bridgette Griffin, 9; Krystal Pearson, 7; Antoinette Mayfield and Raven Whipps, 4 each.
Leading the scoring for Northeast were Boyd with 15 points; Allen, 11; Garvin and Kabrina Lucas, each with 9 points; Antoinette Riddle, 8; Kiki Gwyn, 6; Shirta Dixon, 5; LaTony Gadison, ; Von Hall, 2.
Coahoma plays a make-up game with Holmes Community College at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Pinnacle, and on Monday, Jan. 28, the teams travel to play East Mississippi.

Sightseeing from the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola in Whistler
Sightseeing (Picture BC photo)
Whistler sightseeing tours showcase the mountain landscapes and outdoor activities that make this one of North America's top four-season resorts.
There's no need for skis or hiking boots to see the mountains. Reach the alpine on tours by helicopter, all-terrain vehicle or snowcat, or ride the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola for 360-degree views and access to 19 alpine trails.
Take a sightseeing train tour aboard the Rocky Mountaineer Whistler Sea to Sky Climb train, or join a bus tour for spectacular ocean and mountain views. While in Whistler, visit the Whistler Sliding Centre and other 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games venues.
For a self-guided sightseeing tour, explore pedestrian-only Whistler Village and nearby trails.
Read More
On the Rocky Mountaineer Whistler Sea to Sky Climb train tour (between Vancouver and Whistler), snake along winding turns and slow climbs that give way to views of snow-capped peaks, high trestles, and Howe Sound.
For mountain sightseeing, ride the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola: this engineering marvel connects Whistler and Blackcomb mountains and is the highest of its kind in the world – but it's the views that make it truly memorable. Take in 360-degree expanses of forested valleys and snow-capped mountains.
Olympic venues are a reminder of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Drop into the Whistler Sliding Centre to learn about luge, bobsleigh and skeleton, or follow a knowledgeable host on a guided tour to more remote Olympic venues such as the Callaghan Valley.
Take to the skies on a flightseeing tour and survey mountain peaks, glaciers, alpine lakes and valleys. Climb in a helicopter and be whisked over colourful wildflower meadows or hop between glaciers (drop-offs are available for activities such as heli-hiking and heli-golfing). Feeling adventurous? Ride in a motorless glider from the Pemberton Soaring Centre and glimpse views between loops and spins on an aerobatic tour. Whistler flightseeing tours depart from Whistler, Vancouver, Pemberton, Squamish, and Victoria.
All-terrain tours combine adventure with sightseeing: carve through fresh powder on a snowmobile and watch the sunset, or relax and hear a narrated history of the area while climbing a mountain in a heated snowcat. In summer, bring a camera and capture landscape vistas on a Land Rover tour led by a local outdoor photographer, or join a Hummer tour and go off-roading to glaciers and lakes.
Whistler, plus nearby Pemberton and Squamish, offer a few coach and limousine tours – be shuttled by bus to Olympic venues or enjoy the luxury of a limousine on a bird watching trip near Squamish. Whistler is a popular destination for bus charters leaving Vancouver, and some bus lines offer scheduled routes between Vancouver and Whistler for combined transportation and sightseeing.
Horse-drawn sleigh rides aren't just romantic – they're also a great way to see the area. Take a scenic ride on Blackcomb Mountain, curled up with hot chocolate, or enjoy a gourmet three-course fondue dinner after a ride through snow-covered forest.
Soak in Whistler's sights and culture on a self-guided walking tour. Wander the pedestrian-only village to award-winning restaurants and cafes, or meander along the Valley Trail to see Whistler's neighbourhoods, lakes and parks. Visit the Whistler Visitor Centre for maps, routes and information.
Discover driving routes that connect Whistler to Vancouver and the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast – trace the early steps of gold rush pioneers on the Coast Cariboo Circle Route, or navigate a scenic back loop along Duffey Lake Road, in addition to other self-guided driving routes.

Brushcutters & Clearing Saws
With additional features like a four-point anti-vibration system that helps reduce operator fatigue, a lightweight harness for comfortable extended use, and an easy-adjust handle bar for easy transport and storage, STIHL brushcutters and clearing saws cut through the clutter and provide a hardworking solution for your heavy-duty jobs.
When the job calls for clearing the really tough brush, you need more than trimmer line – you need a brushcutter or clearing saw from STIHL. These machines are powerful and designed for forestry, municipal, or farm and ranch use. Their rugged designs don't care what nature throws its way—they keep on cutting until the job is done. Here are some of the features you'll find on every professional-grade brushcutter and clearing saw from STIHL:
- STIHL Easy2Start™ makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products fast and easy.
- IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor measures air on clean side of air filter and adjusts metering diaphragm in carburetor. Maintains RPM levels even when filter begins to clog.
- Multi-Function Control Handle delivers easy access to ON/OFF and throttle controls on one comfortable handle. This makes it easy to use without the operator's hand ever leaving the handle. Some models feature a momentary stop switch, ensuring the switch is "ON" the next time you start – helping to prevent engine flooding.
- Bike-Style Handle adjusts for comfort and allows the machine to be easily guided, enabling a smooth horizontal mowing action to cover large areas quickly and efficiently.
- Fuel-Efficient Engine runs longer on a tank of gasoline, reducing fuel costs.
- Reduced Vibration for less operator fatigue and a more comfortable working experience.
- Heavy-Duty Steel-on-Steel Centrifugal Clutch helps reduce slippage and provides durable, long-lasting wear.
- Multi-Position Adjustable Harness distributes the weight of the equipment for increased operator comfort and improved maneuverability.
- Easy-Access Air Filter allows for easy filter cleaning or replacement.
- Easy-Access Starter Assembly for repairs in the field.
- Electronic Ignition provides easier starting and smoother running.
- Ergonomic Design reduces fatigue and enables comfortable operation.
- Smooth Edges will not snag on clothing or brush.
- High-Tech Polymer Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact and are corrosion resistant.
- Long-Life Engine Cylinders provide optimal cooling, lubrication and more power output per cubic centimeter of engine displacement for maximum wear life.
- 2-Ring Pistons improve engine efficiency and hold compression longer than 1-ring pistons. Also they transfer heat from the piston to cylinder better, helping engine stay cooler and last longer.
- Enclosed Throttle Cables eliminate dangling and loose wires.
- Protected Choke Lever/Knob helps prevent damage.
- Protected Spark Plug is protected yet easy to change.
- Protected Throttle Trigger helps prevent damage.
- Purge Pump Primer enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, providing easier starts.
- Spark Arrester Muffler has large baffles which reduce noise level and contains a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
- Throttle Trigger Interlock helps prevent accidental acceleration.
- Fully Lined Drive Shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.
- Upright Fuel Tank with Retainer Cap for easy fueling.

Some weekends are just not meant to be… There seems to been a black cloud hanging over me since the Powderhorn race, and it followed me to Trinidad. Or maybe it's just the dust.Right after the start of practice, I managed to hit a cholla cactus with my left forearm. I don't even remember seeing the thing – all thought of was the scene from Forrest Gump when he gets shot in the buttocks and yells...Read More
WebeRacing Round #5 – Trinidad, CO Update
Ever Wonder What a Bad Mousse Looks Like?
I've never run bibs before, but I recently bought a used bike with one installed the rear and thought I'd throw on a new tire over the weekend. After wrestling that SOB off the rim, I was treated to a pile of degraded foam rubber. Looks like the previous owner didn't bother to lube the bib before installing it. Didn't even bother to install a rim strip or duct tape the rim either. Bummer… Oh well, new one on...Read More
How Lame am I…?
Last post in January? Laaaame. Now that that's over with, on to some updates. My excuse for no recent updates is that my helmet cam has been fritzing out at the last couple of races. So, I didn't have any new footage to post. Plus I've been super busy. Lots going on in the Webe Racing series. The first couple of races went pretty good. I moved over to the Open-A class for the season after winning the 40-A class last year. Open A is...Read More

R.I.P Kurt Caselli (1983 – 2013)
One of my favorite riders, Kurt Caselli died yesterday racing at the Baja 1000. In my opinion, Kurt was one of the most exciting off-road riders in the industry. His helmet cam videos were almost scary to watch, as he seemed to push the limits and beyond when it came to desert racing. I guess we all know the risks inherent to dirt bike racing, but it's still a shock when something like this happens. Very sad. A tribute video to the...Read More
2013 Webe Racing – Española, Round #8
Last weekend was the final race of the 2013 Webe Racing series at Española, NM. The dirt was great from previous rains, and the temps were perfect! I was able to get the win at Saturday's RMEC enduro. The 125 was a blast to ride! I was pretty cooked for Sunday's race but still managed a 3rd place. The whoops were relentless!! Ben Wagenman pretty much smoked us with an almost 4 minute lead, and Matt Valdez caught me sleeping on...Read More
Webe Racing Monte Vista 2013
Sometimes you just stink it up. That was the case last weekend at Monte Vista… I hadn't really ridden in the last few weeks due to a garage remodeling project, and it was evident within the first half-a-lap on Saturday. I had such bad arm pump I couldn't even pull in the clutch. Sunday wasn't much better, although I attempted to warm up a little bit more before launching into race mode. Really what slowed me down on Sunday was...Read More
2013 Snowshoe Enduro – Boockliff Rattlers and RMEC
Last weekend was one of the sweetest races I've ever done! The Bookcliff Rattlers/RMEC hosted the 2013 Snowshoe enduro near Montrose, CO and the conditions couldn't have been more perfect! With rain storms over the last several days, the dirt was dark and loamy and the underbrush was green and lush – pure perfection. I opted to ride the 350 because spark arrestors were required. The bike paired well with the technical,...Read More
2013 Webe Racing – Powderhorn, Round #4
This last weekend was Round #4 of the Webe Racing series at Powderhorn Ski area near Grand Junction, CO. This was the biggest turnout of the season, so far. We had 17 riders on our row of the A-40 class. As to be expected, much of the new course was lined with rocks and passing was limited. There were also a few muddy water crossings that became extremely slick as the race went on. This killed my run of clean laps – on lap 5 I got...Read More

I don't think there are very few instances a family is ready to just take on another family members child, no matter how the relationship between the kin or length of stay. From being a brother to a grandparent, being a kinship parent to a child that you're not really the parent of can be life changing, more than I imagine one would think. Sometimes there's financial help sometimes there's not, it just depends on the situation. For those fortunate enough to receive aid it's often times not enough to cover everything a child really needs to live a normal life. Those of you that are parents already know kids can be expensive. Having two teenagers ages 14 and 16 has doubled my food bill alone. Then you add up clothing, increased utilities, school and sports related bills, and that's still not covering hygiene and extra stuff. In most kinship family situations there is no state involvement which leaves many families strained in the financial realm. Even if you can claim the children on taxes, a couple extra thousand doesn't help enough throughout the whole year. It's sad to think that families or individuals step up to take on others responsibilities, making sacrifices, often without enough financial help and guidance for them or the child.
Aside from the financial aspect, some kinship families (such as my own) also run into situations which can make it confusing on what your role is in the family. For example the situation with my brothers calling me BRAD. It's sometimes confusing for them to decipher when it's time for our brother relationship and when they more have to listen to me like more like a father. One minute we can be joking like brothers, the next I could be correcting them or telling them something that they need to do. This can be confusing and hard for me as an older brother as well. I want to be their brother and their friend, but I also know that I have to have the respect from them to where they know they have to do what I say. I feel like if we had parents, I could be more of a brother because they would have parents watching over them. With our situation, I'm the one watching over them and I'm only responsible for getting them ready for the world but give them the tools to be successful. I'm their brother, but I have to be the kinship parent.
A majority of the kin taking on parental responsibilities are grandparents also known as "grandfamlies". One of my twitter followers who does kinship care for her grandson shared with me what things are like in her kinship situation. She says "We were once Grandma Mom & Papa. Now are Mommy and Dad. His Mom still wants me to be her mommy. She is 32. It's very difficult family wise. Other adult children and grand children have hard time with acceptance of this situation and want nothing to do with their sister. I am not even allowed to talk about her to them. They are very jealous of the little guy. I can't be the super Grandma I once was. I don't have time to mourn the loss off what I wanted for my daughter when I am so busy raising her son. I miss her. But it messes up the little guy if we spend time together. He wants her. I want her to have active role in his life, but not until it can be healthy for him. He doesn't understand that. We have let go of what we thought we wanted in life in order to embrace the life we have."
Even though it's with family and it's better than the alternative, being kinship carer is a tough journey.

Interested in more runs in our area? Check out our friends at Montgomery MultiSport.
The run is coming up soon so it's time to get out there and train! Try the C25K program to get you started if you haven't ran before.

In 2012, Alfa's Relay for Life team and employees partnered with Jubilee CityFest to handle the Jubilee CityFest Run. We're happy to say it has continued to be a great success! We increased the numbers of runners and we expanded the event to include other events, including kid's activities, stage activities and demonstrations as well as a Wellness Expo.
The Jubilee CityFest organization closed its doors in late 2012. Jubilee CityFest was very proud to say they have fulfilled their mission statement – to help revitalize downtown Montgomery! The run has been part of Jubilee for years. We celebrate the longevity of the run and the importance it has had in Montgomery.
Although Jubilee CityFest completed its' mission, the run has not. In 2012, the run's mission was changed to benefit the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life; to help fight cancer. That mission is still critical!!
We will continue to build on this event and make it even bigger and better!! This is a Family event!! We want this event to not only continue to be a premier run for the serious runner, but to also be an event that everyone can participate in and enjoy; run, walk or ride in a wheelchair or scooter. Use this event to CELEBRATE LIFE and those that fought a hard battle and won, but to also remember and honor those whose lives ended too soon.

Rev. Al Sharpton arrested
By M&C People May 8, 2008, 7:05 GMT
Al Sharpton - © Jay Kravetz / PR Photos
Rev. Al Sharpton and others were arrested on Wednesday for stopping traffic to protest the acquittal of policemen who killed an unarmed Sean Bell with 50 shots on his wedding day.
The civil rights leader was joined by hundreds as they interrupted rush-hour traffic at bridges and tunnels around New York City.
A police spokesperson said "a couple dozen" people were arrested.
The civil disobedience was organized on behalf of the Bell family, after a state judge cleared two detectives of manslaughter and a third of reckless endangerment in the death of Sean Bell.
Bell's fiancee and two of his friends who survived the shooting were arrested along with Sharpton during the peaceful protest.
"We are holding you all under arrest for disorderly conduct," police announced before handcuffing Sharpton and at least 30 other people. They put up little or no resistance as they were led to police vans, cuffed by plastic strips.
"We are all Sean Bell" the demonstrators shouted according to Reuters.
The Justice Department, federal prosecutors and the FBI are also reviewing the Bell case and will take action if investigators suspect a violation of federal civil rights laws occurred.

"Don't waste time on trivial stuff. While trying to decide whether you should invest time and emotion into something, just try to answer one question. Will it matter to you on the day you will be on your death bed? If the answer is yes, go ahead. For in the face of death, even the most important things start looking trivial."

"In every minute of our lives, somewhere in this world, someone will die, but not from their fault, or not from their cause, not from a natural disaster and not from a natural cause. They will die because of a person who wants to take a life of another person for no apparent reason."
"To find true happiness, will require the power to push away and hide the bad things to rather not deal with that stress and live that moment."
"...Life is what you make of it, there is no such thing as a "Common" most important thing in life, but whatever you have out of your hard effort and treasure it. Whatever it friends to items you put effort into or for, working hard on to something you love doing is one of life worth living for. I haven't found my meaning to live but that the beauty of living."
"Even though producers may not be getting the percentage of the consumer dollar that they want, that doesn't necessarily mean the packers have control of the market."
