A Conover dentist previously charged with Medicaid fraud closed her clinic doors and left Catawba County.
Dr. Letitia Ballance operated Carolina West Dental in Conover. In a letter dated April 11, Ballance informed her patients she was no longer going to operate in Catawba County after April 15. In the letter, Ballance said the business' closing is "a result of the continued struggling economy."
Ballance did not return phone calls to The O-N-E seeking comment.
However, Ballance's dental clinic closing brings satisfaction to at least one county resident.
At 15 years old, Kaylee Dowell has completed the triple crown of junior gymnastics.
Dowell, a freshman at Fred T. Foard, scored 37.5 points out of a possible 40 during the Level 9 Junior Olympic Eastern National Championships earlier this month in Worcester, Mass.
The competition included four events — floor exercise, balance beam, vault and uneven bars.
She adds the J.O. Eastern National title to the two championship victories in April — a North Carolina state title in Greenville and a regional title in New Orleans.
As the May heat scorched about Claremont City Park, Chester E. Deal just smiled.
The crowd of 100 or so area citizens was quickly leaving the annual Memorial Day ceremony to escape the 90-degree heat, but Deal and his family lingered around to take a few photos.
Deal, 92, who now uses a wheelchair to get around, looked over at a large stone wall next to the Veterans Memorial at the city park and read "Chester Ellis Deal — Merchant Marines."
He looked at his family and smiled, knowing that his service to the country will forever be etched in stone.
For the 32nd season, the Catawba County Hornets prepare to compete on the gridiron.
The former club team of Lenoir-Rhyne will trying to improve upon its 9-6 record and fifth-place finish in the Central Carolinas Football League from a season ago.
Doug Fry, owner and coach for the Hornets, has been a part of the team for every season of its existence.
"We are a club football team," Fry said. "We aren't semi-pro because they don't get paid to play. So it doesn't hurt their eligibility. They're still eligible to go to college."

Freedom comes at a cost. The American Legion Post 48 remembered the men and women Sunday who helped bring freedom to the nation.
With the sounds of a jet flying over a crowd of about 75 people, veterans and community members looked up with one thing in mind – remembrance of those sounds during a time of war when many lives were lost so Americans can live freely. These sounds and memories define Memorial Day.

Reggie York and John Lesjack hadn't seen each other in more than 50 years.
The old Navy buddies, separated on different sides of the country nearly half their lives, now sat with only a table between them at the Artist's Café in Newton.
It was a long-awaited reunion, but the two friends joked like they had saw each other yesterday.
"I've tried to write you, but only get responses from your wife and son," Lesjack said.
"What do you mean?" York replied.
For most graduating seniors, the anticipation of finishing high school comes with the excitement of beach trips in the summer and starting college in the fall. For others, a much different feeling of anticipation is brewing. Trading in their flip-flops for combat boots, many local teenagers are making the decision to commit the next few years of their life to their nation rather than to themselves.
Newton organizations, such as Green Room Community Theatre, Newton Depot Authority, the Newton-Conover Auditorium Authority and others, asked the city for almost $975,000 in special appropriations in the year ahead.
However, a budget plan unveiled this month by Newton City Manager Todd Clark comes up $112,000 short of requested funding levels and leaves many of those organizations with no city financial support in the year ahead.

Written by BSR Contributor: Cody Colston
Hey all! I'm filling in for Matt Lund for your weekly Ravens' post game thoughts and observations. The Ravens narrowly beat the Falcons 27 to 23; the Falcons scored 20 unanswered points after the first team defense struggled. The first team offense could not keep up and was only able to score 7 points in the first half. "That was the worst first half of football I've ever seen," head coach John Harbaugh said of the first half. In the second half, the Ravens' second string offense scored 20 unanswered points to win the game. I completely agree with what Harbaugh said but let's break down the game as a whole, not just point fingers at the offense.
Ray Rice managed 10 yards on 8 attempts. It's pretty hard to get anymore yardage when you're facing a defender in the back field on every snap. The line looked like it is missing the presence of Pro Bowl guard Marshall Yanda. His replacement, until he returns, Jah Reid, looked stiff at Guard and I wish the coaching staff would stop trying to play him there, at 6' 7" he belongs playing Tackle. A.Q. Shipley got the start on the first team and looked exactly what he was picked up for, depth. Shipley was called for two penalties for 20 yards. Gradkowski came in after the first half and looked sharp, hard to believe he won't get the starting job. Most of the lines problems came run-blocking, but during passing situations Joe Flacco and Tyrod Taylor were almost untouched.
A high octane passing offense consisting of Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and Roddy White did exactly what you would expect them to do, pass the ball, and the Ravens couldn't do anything about it. Julio Jones beat Corner Jimmy Smith for three catches, 55 yards, and a touchdown. Most of the big plays by the Falcons seemed to come from the underneath pass or over the middle, not a good sign for the Ravens' safeties. The only bright spots on the Ravens' secondary were corner Chykie Brown and rookie Matt Elam; both always seemed to be around the ball.
Daryl Smith is out to prove something, racking up six tackles and one pass deflection. Josh Bynes and Albert McClellan also recorded five tackles. Arthur Brown and Adrian Hamilton were mixed in as well. All of them are very good at swarming to the ball and clogging holes up the middle. Very strong linebacker play from the Ravens almost makes you forget about the retirement of Ray Lewis. Smith and Bynes seem to be the favorite to start if Jameel McClain's recovery takes longer than expected.
Three catches out of 12 targets for wide receivers not named Torrey Smith. Jacoby Jones was out of position and that caused Flacco's only interception. Tandon Doss had a great catch over the middle that he fumbled but was overturned; he ended the night with a five yard catch for a touchdown. LaQuan Williams almost had an amazing catch over a Falcons defensive back but a costly route running error later in the game caused an interception in the red zone. Recent signee Brandon Stokley lined up a couple times in the slot but did not catch anything and was not targeted. This is a huge question mark for the Ravens offense moving forward.

Missionary vision has never been outstanding, although German evangelicals have proportionately been solid missionary senders. The total number of Protestant missionaries has grown considerably in the last 30 years; this is due to the growth of evangelical missions which today makes up more than 90% of the total Protestant mission force while ecumenical missions reduced their sending of personnel. Pray for a further increase in mission-sending vision. Pray also for the Association of Evangelical Missions (AEM), with more than 90 members, representing 3,700 missionaries a catalytic and vital stimulant for training, promoting and sending missionaries. In 1998, the Association of Pentecostal and Charismatic Missions was formed; today it has 43 agencies and 400 missionaries. Both of these groups have grown significantly in recent years. Several unique missions are the DMG (German Missionary Fellowship) with 338 missionaries serving with 102 international missions and the Vereinigte Deutsche Missionshilfe (VDM) with 210 missionaries, but with no foreign fields of their own. Other significant German missions include Liebenzeller Mission, Christoffel-Blindenmission, OM, Wiedenest, Allianz-Mission, Christliche Fachkräfte Int, WBT, Diguna, WEC, Logos, Kontaktmission.
Ministry to young people is vital for a fading Church. The large majority of active Christians are over age 50, and only about 2% of the nations youth call upon Jesus as their Saviour. There is a new openness to Jesus as the spiritual immunization of quasi-Christianity fades. Pray for the following ministries:
a) Large-scale outreach events and programmes such as Christival, JesusHouse, TeenStreet and others give a sense of excitement and belonging to many young people, while imparting good teaching and exhortation. Hundreds of thousands in Germany and beyond are impacted.
b) Campus ministries. SMD(IFES) has about 70 groups in universities and 800 groups in secondary schools. CCCI/Agape with 120 staff is involved in a host of ministry activities. Navigators also ministers through university witness. These ministries reaching students are more crucial than ever.
c) Wort und Wissen is a significant ministry that prepares students for university life by giving them a good Christian foundation.
d) CEF(KEB) has 45 staff workers committed to childrens ministry. They have about 200 Good News Clubs, and they run an effective telephone ministry for children in many cities. They also offer a well-accepted correspondence course and a unique website for children. Scripture Union (BLB) also reaches out to children.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
--Groucho Marx
Free laptop specs.
May 30, 2008 (02:24 PM)
For those of you who didn't read my previous blog post, yesterday school randomly called me and said, "Hey, APS is giving you a free laptop, come pick it up," so I was like "Sweet" and went to get it today. Here are some numbers:
Windows XP Pro SP3
1.59 GHz AMD Turion 64
1GB RAM, possibly 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, but I dunno for sure
100GB hard drive
15.4" widescreen
Nice battery life; this specs page says 4.5 hours, but mine is clearly a cheap knockoff of this model.
This site also claims it has an ATI Radeon X1250, which may or may not be true.
Predictably, it isn't exactly a dream machine, but the price was right! It might be okay if I upgrade the RAM, but 1.6 GHz is not great, and I don't know what kind of software I'm going to need to be running at MIT. I haven't decided whether I'm keeping it or pawning it and getting a new one at the end of the summer. I guess I could just use it my first year and get a better one later if I need to.
EDIT: You know, I think I am going to keep it. It'll at least last me through my first year of college, I'm thinking, and if I need to get another one, nothing lost because this one was free! I wouldn't get a whole lot of money for this anyway, so I really might as well hang onto it.
May 31, 2008 (08:33 AM)
It's about as good as my laptop that I spent $1200 on. Only problem is I bought it two and a half years ago. =/
It's fine for general use and most programs should run ok. The only programs I use are Maple and Matlab, the former is a little slow when I do huge calculations but for the most part fine. Unless you plan on running some hard core simulation programs or gaming
if you want the latter you shouldn't be using a laptop, period
you're fine. Not sure how it will last when you're a junior/senior, but for now it's fine and you can't beat the price.

Congressman Brian Higgins has only been representing the City of Niagara Falls for a couple of weeks, and is already making a strong effort to help the city reclaim its waterfront. YNN's Antoinette DelBel has more on Congressman Brian Higgins' proposal to revamp the water's edge and how he plans to finance it.
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — When Congressman Brian Higgins thinks of the economic potential of the waterfront in Niagara Falls, he says he sees it as a destination with outdoor shops, arts and streetscapes.
There's only one problem. The Robert Moses Parkway separates the city from its waterfront.
Higgins says the solution is demolishing the interstate.
"We believe that will unleash the extraordinary potential of Niagara Falls, New York as a great waterfront city drawing those millions of people that visit Niagara Falls, Canada every single year," said Higgins.
Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster agrees.
"I think that correcting this problem would have positive consequences for development and home values," said Dyster.
Higgins is proposing the New York Power Authority (NYPA), which owns the land, pay for the parkway's demolition costs and development afterward.
"They own the land. They evicted the people. They paid for the construction of this, and they should pay for the demolition of it as well," said Higgins.
The Robert Moses Parkway was built in the late 1950s and early 1960s, despite much opposition from people in the community.
Dyster says NYPA evicted several people from their homes and says it's only been an economic detriment to the city.
"Homes were displaced and neighborhoods were cut off from access to the river," he said.
Higgins wrote a letter to NYPA asking for approximately $120 million for the estimated cost of the removal of the entire parkway. And with only $5 million available in federal funding, Higgins says NYPA has the resources to finance the project.
"In 2008 alone, the New York Power Authority had a surplus of $309 million," Higgins said.
The New York Power Authority released a statement saying: "We just received Congressman Higgins' letter on the Robert Moses Parkway and will review it. We will respond in a timely manner and continue to have an open dialogue with the Congressman as we've done so in the past."

Shiv-r (pronounced the same as 'shiver') are an Australian industrial band from Sydney. Comprised of founding members Lee Bulig, Pete Crane and Pete's wife, Wendy, Shiv-r have been slowly gaining popularity due to tours with bands such as Hanzel und Gretyl, Combichrist and Hocico. Their music is dark, rough and insanely catchy, blending industrial and rock to create a chaotic result of musical craziness. The name has been explained as their wanting to make music that would make people shiver (and shake them out of their stupor).See also The Crystalline Effect.Members:

Web page honoring dead teen hacked
GREENWICH — Hackers have used Facebook pages to mock a Greenwich High School sophomore who committed suicide, possibly due to bullying.
Greenwich Time reports that offensive images started appearing Tuesday on a memorial page for Bart Palosz, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot on Aug. 27. He was 15.

As a couple of bloggers have observed, Ernest Hemingway has a lot to teach us about blogging, or just Internet print in general. Today's writing tip recognizes Hemingway's style and what it can bring to your writing.
"Never mistake motion for action."
Don't just do it to do it. Write and act purposefully. Trim the fluff that leads up to the action. It's not action if the story isn't moving forward.
"I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen."
If there's anything I've learned from writing, it is to listen. Listen to how people speak. Listen to how they lie or make love. Listen to know what dialogue is.
"In order to write about life, first you must live it!"
Certainly, firsthand knowledge brings the most life to your writing. It's not enough to know that bear may attack. How will he attack? What will you do? The last point is key. Writing forces us to view our inner self. What good or evil lurks here?
"I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit."
It's okay to experiment. It's okay to run with an idea to see where it will take you. Ride the rapids, and enjoy the show. Everything will be waiting for you when you return. Write with a mind to explore.

Detroit Raw by Sam Riddle
Create the drumbeat
By Sam Riddle
Special to The Michigan Citizen
"The Butler" is a great film to relive those never-ending times of societal and inner turmoil. Race, white power and the impact of direct action on racist institutions and personal relationships make for a consciousness raiser.
You love this film, yet can find excuses to dodge the need for direct action to restore democracy to Detroit as we do battle to stop the looting and pillaging of Detroit that is going down under the banner of bankruptcy as the tantric fiscal rape of Detroit approaches $13 million for lawyers/consultants alone. These folk could teach Kwame and Bobby a thing or two. KMA.
The United States enabled the assassination of democracy in Egypt by sanctioning a "have it your way" military coup. Make the connection between American foreign policy in Egypt that killed off democracy and this administration's domestic policy that allows democracy to be whacked in America's Blackest and poorest city — Detroit — as benign neglect administered in a most malignant fashion runs amuck.
Why do we have a Detroit city clerk or a Wayne County Board of Canvassers? The now vociferous band did very little when nearly 60,000 absentee voters were disenfranchised by city clerk malfeasance, but now these handkerchief heads are up in arms demanding federal intervention because the same city clerk, aided and abetted by a do-nothing Wayne County Board of Canvassers, conducted another vote cluster bang.
If you really want federal intervention in Detroit, first you must intervene in Detroit — vote and stand up against the destruction of democracy in Detroit by protesting the reality that the imposition of an EM has been enabled by the feds. If the feds didn't do a damn thing about the destruction of democracy in Detroit and allowed the imposition of the Negro EM proxy, what will the feds really do to stop continued destruction of democracy in Detroit?
Even as the rats are abandoning the Napoleon ship adrift in the political seas of Detroit, Benny can still flip the D-U-G-G-A-N primary to a Benny W-I-N, if Napoleon can create a drumbeat that is outside the audio reach of pollsters and expert pundits. Yep.
You see, Benny, statistically significant numbers of white voters are not going to vote for you. Get it? Then don't pander. Go to the real Detroit in a real manner real quick and don't opt for sophistication. Create the drumbeat.
This could turn into a "Dear Benny" piece. Napoleon knows he has a lot of work to do. Even if a referee says you won, you know what that azz kickin' felt like because it was you in the ring not fighting. Want some voting support? Show more heart, Benny.
Why am I not surprised that Lisa Howze is supporting Mike? Maybe that will help her become the female counterpart to EM aide Gary Brown. Some years ago in his book "Crashing the Party," I was honored to have Ralph Nader quote me in effect: "They keep telling us to support a winner, but as a community, we keep losing, there is something wrong with that formula."
If some, like ex-Bing mouthpiece Karen Dumas, are offended at the living wage pay demands of fast-food workers competing with the pay of college grads, maybe Dumas ought to organize the degrees instead of slamming humans treated as indentured expendables. After all, free labor built the American economy; it was called slavery with no reparations or even a "thank you for your service." The obscene profits of the fast-food industry must be shared with their workforce.
Folk taking that reactionary wedge position help drive potential allies apart. No way should underpaid teachers who are the lifeline to this nation's well-being be pitted against McDonald serfs. That is wrong. Undervalued and exploited teachers should be supported as they battle for wages that should be supplemented by the federal government in that education of the highest quality is in our national interest and the fiscal burden is too much for local units of government.
As I was leaving Belle Isle with a glorious sunset as a companion, I couldn't help but mind snack when I looked at the thousands of us enjoying the Isle … Belle Isle belongs to the real people of Detroit, not Roger Penske. Maybe it's time for all of us who enjoyed "The Butler" to Occupy Belle Isle.
Speaking of "The Butler," Dems enable the continued destruction of democracy and union-busting by not having Detroit demolition dollars flow through a valid elected city government, not an appointed EM. Detroit is not getting dollars; the EM gets dollars; you say what is the difference? Go see "Butler" again and shame on senators Levin and Stabenow.
We must never let haters cause us to lose hope or dislike ourselves and never let haters make you weak in your faith. Keep the faith. Stay on the battlefield.

George Clooney's Hollywood DNC Convention distance
By Stone Martindale Aug 28, 2008, 4:50 GMT
George Clooney (R) and Brad Pitt pose for photographers during a photocall after the press conference for their film \'Burn After Reading\' by US directors Joel and Ethan Coen running out of competition at the 65th International Film Festival of Venice, 27 August 2008, in Venice, Italy. EPA/CLAUDIO ONORATI
George Clooney has chosen his words carefully for the enthusiastic celebrity Barack Obama supporters that are attending the Democratic Party convention.
Spike Lee has been all over CNN today theorizing and commenting on the Clintons' inability to deal with losing, and other stars like Charlize Theron, Susan Sarandon, and Sarah Silverman among many stars have decided to join the big Democratic prom in Denver where Barack Obama is expected to accept the Democratic nomination tomorrow night.
Clooney spoke to the Telegraph (UK) during his press junket for "Burn After Reading", at the Venice Film Festival.
Clooney answered one question about his desire to join fellow Democrats at the Denver event: I like watching conventions on television. I think the stars there should be the people who have been elected.
He was cryptic in his words for for Obama, telling the Telegraph he was optimistic but also worried about what the future might hold. No further explanation.
Brad Pitt, Clooneys co-star, added that it was a vital time for US politics but kept his yap tightly shut and did not elaborate any further to the UK paper.
The Telegraph speculated that the fear of appearing too "Hollywood" is perhaps reining in the big stars' comments at this critical time, warding off potential ammunition for the GOP and McCain's camp to further the charges of Obama's overly hyped rock star image that is all gloss but little experience, in their opinion.

The creeper seat works well when waxing car and cleaning and applying polish to wheels and tires. It moves easily from wheel to wheel and has space to store cleaning materials that need to be moved. Wheels roll easily on paved driveway and garage floor. Seat allows access without bending or getting down on knees. Saves the back and legs from uncomfortable positions when doing the work required to keep your vehicle looking good. Easy to assemble and matches other tool storage. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and would make it again.

I use this to sit on when cleaning motorcycles at home, so it's not seeing daily use in a shop or commercial environment. No problems so far. Went together easy and a good value for the price. I usually try to buy American but for about 1/10th the price of some of the American made one's it's kind of hard to not at least give this one a try.

For the price, you can't beat it....low profile, rolls comfortably, but isn't too flimsy. Just don't use it as a ladder to reach any shelves, you'll have a bad time.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's final stage piece was intended for the common people visiting the Theater an der Wien, where it was premiered on 30 September 1791. The creators drew upon the tradition of the old Viennese magic opera, one of the types of singspiel, a popular genre combining singing and spoken dialogue in which alongside human characters appeared various supernatural beings and animals and stage machinery effects were employed. Die Zauberflöte has become the best-known example of this genre not only owing to the fairy-tale story in which by means of a magic flute and his comical companion, Papageno, Prince Tamino seeks the way to Princess Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night, but also thanks to the references to Masonic symbolism and, naturally, Mozart's enthralling music. A year after its premiere in Vienna, the singspiel was presented in Prague at today's Estates Theatre on 25 October 1792. The new production, to be staged by the renowned Czech director Vladimír Morávek, promises a remarkable artistic experience.

Used Forklifts
Counter balance forklifts are fitted with a counterweight that is located towards the rear of the machine in order to counterbalance the transported weight. This counterweight is a heavy cast iron weight that is joined to the rear of the frame of the forklift, and will naturally only operate up to a particular limit. It works similar to a sit down rider counterbalanced forklift, except the operator is standing. The forks on a counter balance forklift run parallel to the body of the forklift and are fixed, meaning that they move up and down but do pivot.

"Solar: California's New Gold Rush"
"Green energy offers the prospect of an economic boon, but some worry the environmental, cultural cost is too high."

"Green energy offers the prospect of an economic boon, but some worry the environmental, cultural cost is too high."
"Global warming could increase flooding, shrink salmon habitat and invite in more invasive species in the West, scientists conclude in a sobering new report."
"From chainsaws to flute solos, the lyrebird can mimic almost any sound it hears. But eavesdrop on this magical bird, and what it is singing can sometimes be troubling."
"Some of the nation's richest and most important ecosystems lie where the ocean meets the land. It's these same coastal areas that are going to disappear as sea level continues to rise as a result of climate change."
"Exactly one year after the immolated hulk of the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon sank in the Gulf of Mexico, the Coast Guard on Friday blasted the rig's owner, Transocean, for what it described as poor safety practices that exacerbated the disaster after BP's Macondo well blew out."
"The 83-year-old man spoke with tears in his eyes. 'It's all over. It is better to just die.' He had just learned his small farm would be sealed off at midnight April 21 inside the government's no-entry zone around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant."
"It's gold vs. golden trout. And gold vs. coho salmon. And gold vs. Shasta crayfish. The California Department of Fish and Game is wrestling – under court order – with a new set of rules to control suction dredge mining in the state's rivers and streams."
"A little-spoken-of war is taking place behind California's fences and property lines – trespassing marijuana growers are setting booby traps, resorting to violence and vandalism, and spoiling the land by stealing water and spraying dangerous chemicals that leach into streams."
"Gov. Rick Scott authorized state officials Friday to ask the federal Environmental Protection Agency to back off on water pollution rules that Florida business and agriculture interests as well as many local government officials say will be too costly to implement."
"It's a volatile time in the state budget process, and North Carolina's main environmental agency can do little but watch as legislators, led by a recently installed GOP majority, work to close an estimated $2.4-billion shortfall through sharp cuts to its budget."
"Alarmed by studies showing children are vulnerable to toxic chemicals found in scores of consumer products, the nation's largest pediatrician group is joining a growing campaign to overhaul how the U.S. regulates hazardous substances."
"Federal agencies turned in progress reports to the White House this week on their scientific integrity policies, but officials are saying little about how far along agencies have come in protecting scientists' work from political meddling."
"Some of Britain's most cherished spring visitors are disappearing in their thousands. Ornithologists say species such as the cuckoo, nightingale and turtle dove are undergoing catastrophic drops in numbers, although experts are puzzled about the exact reasons for these declines."
"Texans pride themselves on being the heart of the nation's oil and gas business. But even here, public concern about natural gas drilling is growing."
"Earth Day Network and Facebook are collaborating to engage people worldwide in environmental action through the Billion Acts of Green campaign. The two organizations have created a new application to motivate people to reduce their impact on the environment."

[TAIPEI] Dazzling Cafe
Dazzling Cafe 蜜糖土司專賣店
Address: 台北市忠孝東路四段205巷7弄11號1樓
Tel: (02) 8773-9238
Hours: [Sun-Thu] 12:00pm~11:00pm, [Fri-Sat] 12:00pm~12:00am
Website: cafe.dazzlingdazzling.com
Price: 200~380 NTD/honey toast, 140~160 NTD/drink
Dazzling Cafe, a honey toast specialty cafe/restaurant in Taipei, has been wildly popular since its opening in March 2010. Llet me just define the phrase "wildly popular" for the purpose of this post – during Dazzling's prime time, it's literally impossible to get a reservation because the phone line is always occupied by obsessed callers, and if you try your luck as a walk-in guest – well, be prepared for a 3-hour wait before you get seated. Let's see what the big fuss is about.
Dazzling Cafe
As we got seated, a cloud of questions popped into my head: Why are so many cafes packed on a Monday at 3:00pm? Who are all these free-spirited weekday afternoon tea drinkers? Are regular day jobs so passé nowadays? Taipei folks, please enlighten me.
But I digress. Back to the honey toasts. We ordered two to share: Chocolate Fondue Honey Toast (380 NTD) and Strawberry Lover Honey Toast (250 NTD). Talk about total disappointment. These were nothing (NOTHING!) compared to the amazing honey toast I've had at Organ, which was nothing short of a fluffy loaf of heaven on the plate. The versions at Dazzling Cafe were dry, bland, and sad.
Strawberry Lover Honey Toast 就是愛草莓蜜糖土司, 250 NTD
Chocolate Fondue Honey Toast 瑞士巧克力鍋蜜糖土司, 380 NTD
We also tried a strawberry crepe (250 NTD), which was actually slightly better than the honey toasts but not really all that impressive either.
Strawberry Crepe 草莓法式可麗餅, 250 NTD
Even the tea failed. My Iced Pomelo Tea with Peach (140 NTD) was astringent, presumably from over steeping.
Iced Pomelo Tea with Peach 樂活蜜桃柚香冰茶, 140 NTD
Why Dazzling Cafe is so popular is completely beyond my comprehension. It's definitely more about the aura conjured up by the group of high society ladies (most notably 孫芸芸) behind Dazzling's business, than about its mediocre desserts. I'm crossing this off my list, happily.

i totally know what you mean, you gotta be in the mood for uber sweets or else you'll feel a bit sick from it! I really liked the fruit tea though :)

More than 25 years on — ten spent at the helm of the Eurhythmics, the rest following a solo trajectory — Annie Lennox remains one of pop music's most distinctive divas. Her credence stems not only from her beguiling vocals, clearly among the best in the biz, but also from an androgynous persona that ultimately defies delineation. So don't be fooled by its seemingly ominous title; this, her fifth and possibly best solo album, provides a remarkably vibrant platform for her iridescent delivery. Lennox proves she's a master when it comes to spinning rich tapestries of mood and melody, then melding them to a sound that's somehow both searing and seductive. Gliding her voice from a shimmer to a quiver, she slides over producer Glen Ballard's lush, atmospheric arrangements, transforming soulful ballads "Dark Road," "Smithereens," and "Lost" into a series of effusive emotive outpours. "Love Is Blind," "Ghosts in My Machine," and "Womankind" smolder with sensuality and tenacity, her voice soaring into its upper registers one moment before locking emphatically into the music's rousing rhythms the next. Although some of the tracks revisit Eurhythmics environs — "Coloured Bedspread" unabashedly replays "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" — Songs' songs provide exceptional additions to an already-stellar set list.

|The girls have their hair done as a star for
Independence Day!
Had an interesting 4th of July this year. We broke from tradition and didn't go to the parade, and I forgot to take pictures. So it's as though we had an imaginary 4th. Ha ha. Paige made the kids shirts and they were awesome, and fixed the girls hair. They were so darn cute. I didn't even think about shirts until the night before and I ran to Old Navy to get Reese a shirt. Paige asked if I'd pick her one up and I got the Navy Blue stripe version of the shirt pictured.I feel way bad that we forgot to take pictures at the breakfast and of the kids cute outfits. I'll see if I can add some later. Instead if fighting the crowds at the parade we chose to go to Cherry Hill and play in the water. Everyone had such a good time. Grandpa felt a challenge to bring something new so he brought the SunOven and baked us up a batch of Orange rolls. Oh so tasty, and we did have the traditional KFC in honor of Grandma Reese. In the evening we wanted to go to the fireworks show. Paige didn't want a crowd so we went over to the Heritage Church. We set off our fireworks and it was really a blast. Wish we had more cash to get more. The kids really seemed to enjoy the fireworks and the freedom of running around. I brought more goodies than and army could eat. Grandpa bless is heart took a few pictures of the fireworks time. So we do have a few pictures but the kids are in PJ's by this time.

Grandma lays out the snacks and The kids set up their chairs, blanket and they get their glow sticks out. It isn't very long before it gets dark and we set off our fireworks.
We are in a great place to watch Layton's fireworks but we are also in a place where we can see Kaysville's but the best was that everywhere we turned families were sending up aerials. It was fun!

Herbal medicine is the medicine of the people. It is simple, safe, effective, and free. Our ancestors used -- and our neighbors around the world still use -- plant medicines for healing and health maintenance. It's easy. You can do it too, and you don't need a degree or any special training. Ancient memories arise in you when you begin to use herbal medicine -- memories which keep you safe and fill you with delight. These lessons are designed to nourish and activate your inner herbalist so you can be your own herbal expert.
In our first session, we learned how to "listen" to the messages of plant's tastes. In session two, we learned about simples and how to make effective water-based herbal remedies. The third session helped us distinguish safe nourishing and tonifying herbs from the more dangerous stimulating and sedating herbs. Our fourth session focused on poisons in herbs and herbal tinctures, which we made and then collected into an Herbal Medicine Chest.
In this, our fifth session, we will find out how to help ourselves and our families with herbal vinegars, one of the green blessings of the Wise Woman Way.

1 In this article I would like to share some of what I have observed about women's dance traditions in remote villages on the slopes of Mount Olympus in Greece, and the ancient wisdom encoded within them, which I believe has its roots in the Goddess culture of Neolithic times.For thirty years I have been researching and teaching women's traditional circle dances of the Balkans and Near East, which have been danced for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, and are still danced today at weddings and village celebrations. The method I've developed is to compare common motifs in archaeological finds, embroidered textiles, dance patterns, and song words. I see these four forms of women's artistic expression as modes of unwritten communication, transmitting 'hidden information' which, in the words of Marguerite Rigoglioso, 'may have been deposited for safekeeping in those great repositories of the forbidden – myth and folklore – where they have remained veiled in plain sight for two millennia.'
All over Greece, the Balkans, Russia and Ukraine, Central Asia, India, and in Scandinavian and Celtic lore, myths and legends tell of nymphs, nereids, naiads, and Muses. Also known as vily (whence comes the English term 'willies'), these priestess/Goddess figures are divine or semi-divine female beings associated with water, clouds and rain; birds, flight and journeys between worlds; trees, vegetation and healing herbs; prophecy and divination; fertility and blessing, and music and dance. In Greece they were worshipped as early as the 8th C BCE.

Spellbound, almost hypnotized, you float through magic lands of enchantment with fairy princesses, talking frogs, magic cats and candy houses, with Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and a whole host of others. Was it like this for you when you read fairy tales as a child? It was for me – I was as enchanted as Sleeping Beauty when she dropped off into her 100-year sleep. And the magnificent illustrations of some of those talented old children's book illustrators (Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, Kay Nielsen, et al.), made the journey even more intoxicating.
Now, as an adult with years of research under my belt, I have come to the conclusion that many if not most of these fabulous old fairy tales originated among goddess-oriented Europeans. This is exciting, because it means fairy tales hold secrets about how our ancient pre-patriarchal ancestors viewed goddesses, magic, good and evil, the first humans, and other potentially fascinating aspects of their spirituality -- information we can't really wring out of many other sources.
The Scandinavian Cailleach – The"Kælling/Kärring"1
by Kirsten Brunsgaard Clausen
2! Now is Her time – Her playtime. On the backs of foaming wolves and ragged boars She rides forward 3. She is the Bone-Mother, the age-old Wise One. Wild and playful. Who would she need to make up to? Was She not the first on Earth, dancing here long before any living creature took its first steps? She is surely older than time. Oh, doesn't She remember the day She wrestled down this conceited warrior god, the high Thor himself, god of the newcomers, the Aesir4! Isn't She Herself the very Grandmother Hel? Elle they call Her. For sure She is the great-great-grandmother of everything. She need not bow to anybody. Ha-haaaa! Her mouth full of yellow teeth laughs. Ugly as sin She is, if you see only her outside. Tough, wrinkled skin covers Her old bones. No rosy cheeks. That was long ago! Her gnarled fingers crook into the fur of the beast. You will see Her flying, yelling, through the air – in stories from Germany – with a deafening noise and fury, with shrieking instruments and howling beasts5.November. A new year has just begun. The harvest is happily stored. Mother Earth will give no more. The dancing colours of summer are gone. Frost has nipped off the head of all living things. Finally winter! Everything sleeps – from the tiny insect to the big bear. Skeletons of trees stretch out their branches, black and bare. Gray are the heavy clouds, white the frozen ground. Silence. Death … then suddenly – a blood-curdling shriekcuts through the air. Immediately the wind throws back an howling answer. A moment later earth and sky raise a roar together. A tumult of dry leaves and frozen plastic bags whirl round in the storm. People who lose their footing are swept aside. Snowflakes whip in the faces like nails of glass. Now She rules: "the Kælling"
The air, the air! The storm is Her true element. One of them.

We are accustomed to lovely and inspiring creatures associated with the Goddess; from the elegant ferocity of the lioness of Sekhmet to the gentler cat of Bastet, or even the endlessly hypnotic snakes of the Cobra Goddesses. Given the variety of animals that the Ancient Egyptians encountered it is surprising that they should associate a scorpion with a Goddess, particularly a largely benevolent one.
The Scorpion Goddess Serket (Selkis or Selket) is first attested to in the 1st Dynasty so she will have been a Pre-dynastic Goddess (before 3,100 BCE). Serket can be depicted either as a woman with a scorpion on her head or as a scorpion with a woman's head and torso. Her name Serket Hetyt means "she who causes the throat to breathe".1 A Goddess responsible for the divine breath of life or a euphemism referring obliquely to the effect that scorpion venom has on its victim's breathing.
Scorpions were very common in Ancient Egypt and they have a unique and distinct appearance. Scorpion stings were a common, but none the less distressing, hazard. Attendance registers from Deir el-Medina contain many occurrences of men missing work because of scorpion stings. The potency of the venom varies and some species are relatively harmless. The symptoms are burning pain followed by shortness of breath but for the young, elderly and weak the poison could be fatal. It is because of the latter symptom that Serket was thought to control breathing. Female scorpions are larger than the male and so have more venom. Was this why they were associated with a Goddess rather than a God, or was it pure misogyny?

From the waters of Nu, the primeval ocean of Egyptian myth, to the river Styx, which deceased souls cross on their final journey, from the world-encircling oceanic serpent known as Oceanus or Jormungand, to the celestial river of The Milky Way which flows to the land of the soul, water has always denoted the confines of earthly existence, both at its beginning and at its end, and in both a physical and spiritual sense.
This belief evolved because water is the life force of Mother Earth. Just as blood flows through the veins of our bodies, so water flows through the rivers and oceans of the Earth, in a lovely demonstration of the macrocosm-microcosm relationship: "as above, so below." No living thing can survive without water, and as birth is heralded by the breaking of the waters, so it was believed that the soul was also carried out of this world by a celestial river. Therefore it is no surprise that water has always held such importance in belief and tradition.

Goddess of the Moon! Ix Chel,
translucent and ever-changing weaver woman,
creator, destroyer, healer,
Lady Rainbow,
sleek jaguar of stealth and grace,
how you awaken me each morning!
Long before the sun's rise, now in early Spring,
you are there, Ix Chel, in my window,
sparkling bright mystery upon my sleepy eyelids.
I pull the blankets up to my eyes, and give gratitude,
oh most lovely Woman of the Isle of Women!
Before the day begins, you awaken me tenderly,
fresh from dreams, half asleep.
"Remember me! I pass here each night,
I touch your forehead with my luminous beauty,
I bless you, I reach for you,
I am Ix Chel, your sister,
gracing you once more
with my lightest spark of transformation
and truth. I only ask
that you receive me gladly."
