Cords of Love ~ David Archuleta
Posted by Angelica on Friday, January 11, 2013
"Every time I would think about my purpose, the answers seemed to come in sounds. In melodies. In feelings."
~ David Archuleta, COS, pg 91
"I perceive the world through the wide range of emotions that whirl all around in it."
~David Archuleta, COS, pg 193
From early childhood he sang all the time, alone in his room or in the backyard. He sang for family and friends and at various functions just for the love of singing. He would sing random verses that came into his head at odd moments, a habit he has never lost. He sang even though he was painfully shy, even though he hated the sound of his voice. He didn't believe it when people told him he could sing, thinking instead that they were, "just feeling sorry for me because I was little." I marvel at the kind of love for one's art that can conquer even the belief that you have no gift, or as he describes it in the early days of it's development, "…my so called gift."
Yet in spite of this lack of confidence in his ability, he worked hard to improve his voice. He practiced and studied persistently to increase his range and knowledge of music, taking every opportunity that came his way to overcome his shyness at performing in public (he was much more comfortable singing alone in his room). Just when all of his labor began to pay off and he could see some real progress, came the awful diagnosis of vocal paralysis. What was that like, I wonder, to work so hard and overcome so much and then suddenly lose the dream? I think it must have broken his heart. He could have become rebellious and bitter. He could have railed against God. Instead, he accepted His will and his fate and continued to persevere. He struggled with his vocal exercises, even, as he recalls in his book, Chords of Strength, A Memoir of Soul, Song, and the Power of Perseverance, there were days he felt the whole thing was, "a waste of time." In the intervening years till the miracle of his voice returned to him, he learned to face life philosophically with the fervent belief that, "everything happens for a reason." He learned so much about faith, hope, courage, gratitude, humility, and the very real power of prayer. Quoting again from his memoirs he says, "From the moment I got the diagnosis, life quickly went from Star Search to soul search."
On AI he was scoped by the same doctor who had treated him for vocal paralysis years before. In "Chords of Strength," David relates how the two pictures were totally different, so different that at first he thought it was, "scary." Then he writes:
"….I still had a paralyzed vocal cord, but…my cords had found a way to work around the condition because by some miracle, they were vibrating despite what medically wasn't supposed to be able to happen…The one vocal cord, it seemed, had actually grown up over and around the weak one in order to adjust for the other not working."
The one strong cord "grew up over and around the weak one"…reached out and gathered the other cord so that when the working muscle vibrated the one, it caused the other to vibrate too. In other words, the physical mechanism that produces the sound of his voice is literally an embrace. It is an act of reaching out and lifting up, causing the weak to stand, and that which was unresponsive to feel again. How like a metaphor for David's view of life and the effect his music has on so many.
What had seemed like a curse had in fact turned out to be a blessing, giving his voice a breathy, velvety quality and an emotional power born from the ashes of a refining fire. There is a pain and heartache in his voice that is genuine. It is a sound that one feels as much as hears.

That's beautiful – thank you :)
Friday, January 11, 2013 at 10:54 PM
Yes1 That certainly is beautiful….Love it.
Friday, January 11, 2013 at 10:59 PM
Oh my gosh that was so beautiful. Thank you :)
Friday, January 11, 2013 at 11:01 PM
Lovely, lovely, lovely; Angelica!
I am always glad to see your name up there. I know it will be a treat! You never disappoint.
Friday, January 11, 2013 at 11:04 PM
Thank you Angelica! Beautifully written…
David is the reason why I continue to sing. Having experienced the same thing about my voice as he did, it was sad and painful to accept the possibility of not being able to sing again. But I re-discovered David, and in reading his book "Chords of Strength" (remember the hardbound copy you gave me? Thanks again!), it gave me hope. He became an inspiration to me and he taught me that anything is possible as long as you believe in it. Of course, prayer was a big part of it, too! Not only he is my song, he is also my HERO!
I really love this kid!

Angelica :) Beautiful!

Angelica, beautiful article.
"What was that like, I wonder, to work so hard and overcome so much and then suddenly lose the dream? "
I was actually reading this same portion of COS just recently, feeling so sad imagining this young boy who thought he had lost his dream, something he loved so much. David fully understands how deep and painful heartache and disappointment can be. He also knows that if you don't give up, miracles can happen. I think it's why he's so determined to help others not to give up on their dreams. What he went through at that time explains a lot about who David is.
And this >> "It is an act of reaching out and lifting up, causing the weak to stand, and that which was unresponsive to feel again. How like a metaphor for David's view of life and the effect his music has on so many."
Yes. ♥ ♥ ♥
Friday, January 11, 2013 at 11:21 PM
Wow. I don't think there is a fan base out there that can compare to David's. Such a beautiful article from an amazing talented author. I felt swept in the emotion. The love you have for David just pours out.
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 2:40 AM
Thank you for sharing your heart, again. It must have been such an amazing experience to feel first hand "an eternal moment the peace of unconditional acceptance". Am I remembering correctly, that this is the first time you met him and he waited for you?
You beautifully painted a picture of how and why David impacts you as he does.
Yes, David helps me stand when I am weak, helps me look for hope when all I can feel is dispair. I am thankful for this every day. -
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 11:36 AM
Very very beautiful !! Thank you so much !
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 12:04 PM
I have felt so inspired and blessed by the last several posts here at the Voice that i just have to stop and say thank you! Angelica, that, as everything you write, was so beautiful. I loved hearing Ray's story previously, too! It is a remarkable thing to me, this love and joy we feel through David.
I also want to thank Ronaleem for sharing her wonderful story. I can feel and relate to everything you said, as the almost identical thing happened to me last Christmas with David and GCT. It has been a joy filled year and i hope the coming year will be the same for you! I especially love "I sense a purity of soul"….. I now have words to describe what I couldn't before. Thank you, Ronaleem!
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 12:14 PM
Angelica, I've tried numerous times in the last few minutes to write something that could explain how much your "heart sharing" means to me. There are no words. Just like trying to explain ODD. It just is ;-) Thank you!
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 12:27 PM
This is just so lovely. Thanks for giving me a warm feeling today, to go off to work with. I am serious when I say that. <3
Also, when you guys get a minute, listen to the evolution of his voice.
(thanks andrea) -
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 12:50 PM
WOW Angelica, what a wonderful article, Makes me want to read COS again, btw, I've read it many times already,lol.
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 3:01 PM
Angelica, your post is breathtaking. Reading brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing TWO gifts; yours and David's.
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 3:22 PM
I remember well when this article was first posted—beautiful thoughts, exquisite writing. A favorite! What a pleasure to read it and think about it again. Thank you, Angelica.
A belated shout out to MT's poem in the previous post. The very first stanza is the ODD-gospel truth, right?
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 5:45 PM
Angelica,I have to tell you… I get so lost in your beautiful thoughts that you pen, about David. You are such a blessing to all of us♥
Thank you, I loved this article..Abrra, I am having a problem with my "Daviiinaa" ringtone. I no longer want to 'answer' my phone calls.
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 5:48 PM
LOL, We are with David, like David is with music.If something reminds David of a song, he automatically sings the lyric. If something reminds us of him, it tends to just pop right out of our mouths, doesn't it?
Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 6:21 PM
Just read a wonderful Happy New Year message on CaringBridge from Patti. What a year she has had. So inspirational and Recovery remarkable. :)
Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 4:31 AM
What a beautiful article you wrote, you're a great writer always said thing on point and beautifully, David is such an inspiration isn't he…been trhough quite a lot in his young life.
I love this.. " I think it must have broken his heart. He could have become rebellious and bitter. He could have railed against God. Instead, he accepted His will and his fate and continued to persevere." so lovely <3, thank you for this article and lovely pics too
Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 10:55 AM
Thanks Angelica for posting the link to Pattirae's blog. :)
Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 2:09 PM
It was wonderful to read Pattirae's blog yesterday.What a remarkable,amazing woman she is, and such an inspiration. She has been through sooooo much!
Missed you in chat last night Jan♥
I remember thinking it was a strange coincidence…. of 2012 being the first Christmas without David being here, and here comes Les Mis to movie theaters across the country! -
Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 4:45 PM
It was so great to read Pattirae's blog and hear how well she's doing! Wishing her continued good health and happiness. She deserves it.
Thanks for taking part in our dimple debate! haha Now all that's left is for me to see that "to die for" dimple for myself. :) -
Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 5:42 PM
Check out the last 30 seconds of this video from Pin ANTONIO. Love the different ending. David's voice, his expression at the end, and his thumbs up to the keyboardist. Guaranteed to make you smile. :D
Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 6:18 PM
32. LOVE it MT. Got me smiling ear to ear♥ :)))
Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 9:11 PM
Yes, Angelica, your words in this post have matured over time, and although they are genetically the same, they have a new and deeper meaning. David is genetically the same boy from Murray, Utah, but he too has matured with time and he continues to have a new and deeper meaning. He continues to go deeper and deeper into our hearts.
'It is a sound that one feels as much as hears.' So totally true.
He just continues to teach us, by example, the way to make hard things work for our best good. -
Monday, January 14, 2013 at 12:22 AM
Hey All! It's been a bit of a busy and bumpy road this past month, so my time here on the voice has been far too limited! Just wanted to poke my head in for a moment and say…I love this place. I can always count on finding my smile again after visiting this site and reading all the wonderful articles and inspiring posts. Thanks to all those who contribute to the warm and welcoming feeling here.
Angelica, beautiful thoughts…for a beautiful guy:
"In other words, the physical mechanism that produces the sound of his voice is literally an embrace. It is an act of reaching out and lifting up, causing the weak to stand, and that which was unresponsive to feel again. How like a metaphor for David's view of life and the effect his music has on so many."
Abbra, Master Plan…I like that.
Monday, January 14, 2013 at 12:21 PM
Angelica, I love this the first time I read and I love it more now. Since I first started reading your articles back on Noting David days I was intrigued not only with your beautiful writing but your getting David, really getting him from the beginning. As I read the comments I realize that for most this is their first time reading this, there is so much more. Interestingly enough your writings actually go deeper into our souls five years later. I'd love to see them again here from time to time :)
Abrra, Love SF's prayer ♥
Monday, January 14, 2013 at 5:56 PM
I'm loving all the buzz!! Thanks for posting it. It's nice to see there is still so much interest. Gone for almost a year and still newsworthy! Even Ryan's site is in on it. :) Don't you just love it?! -
Monday, January 14, 2013 at 9:05 PM
Morning wake-up: The other morning David and the MOTAB woke me up singing Silent Night. IN MY HEAD.
Lullaby: Every night I listen to Forevermore before I go to bed. About 50 times. It looks like David is putting me to sleep and waking me up.
Forevermore: David is the cute, wholesome, earnest, considerate, modest, polite, sensitive, devoted, reliable, trustworthy, boy-next-door-who-really-loves-me boyfriend I never had in high school. I probably forgot a few adjectives.
Rainbow Remix: Except for the orange lips, I really loved him. I mean, I really loved the video.
Inspiration: David has already inspired me in many ways. Last Friday he inspired me to buy an iPod so I can take him with me wherever I go.
Chat: I dropped by the chat on Saturday night to see what it was like. You ladies! My goodness. It was from you I learned that David's attraction is not solely spiritual. In deference to his missionary status, I decided not to go down that road. How long can I hold out?–I don't know. I thought I was out of hormones–apparently not.
Monday, January 14, 2013 at 10:20 PM
Angelica, your article here is perfection. You are so in tune with David and his music. And thanks for the eyebrows at #48.
It is truly amazing what that one small vocal chord has accomplished. I shudder to think what a different world this would be for so many of us if David had been less persevering. Less determined to do his best. Less in touch with his faith. It has sure nuff worked out for us.
Ronaleem, knowing he is a missionary does not make him less handsome. Appreciation can be considerable but not disrespectful.
My birthday is in February. Thanks to Lady V's cryptic quotes, I am expecting a gift! YAYYY!!
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 12:00 AM
You are absolutely right. Nothing makes him less handsome.See #48 :)
There are many sides to David. The sweet, the spiritual, the charmer, the singer, the actor, the model and more. All of them beautiful.
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 12:01 AM
PS I hope you get new music for your birthday!!
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 12:56 AM
Ronaleem, the waking up with David singing in your head is utterly normal.
(this first happened to me with Angels, April 9 2008. It's happened 857 thousand times since)
Everything is happening as it should. :)
Have a great day/night, all. -
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 3:28 AM
Dayzee and Everyone Else:
Absolutely no offense or criticism intended. I have hardly been able to contain my emotions since December 23, and then again since I started talking to you all. Some of these emotions are very powerful and very uncomfortable, and I'm examining them only in the most reluctant way. In a small voice: Am I still welcome here?
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 8:29 AM
Absolutely no offense or cristicism intended to you. So sorry if it seemed that way. Of course you are very welcome! :)
Most of us are overwhelmed with emotions here. Just part of the ODD. But we love David and each other.
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 9:00 AM
Thanks for the big YES!!! I will now go about my day with confidence and gladness!
I want to comment on your article, but I want to read the book first, and I won't get it until tomorrow. At which point I will devour it!
Also, could you please contact me? I sent an email with a personal request to the address on the Contact Us tab, but I haven't received a response, so I wonder if I typed in the address correctly.
To Everyone: Have a great day! It's soft and rainy here, much more like spring than winter. And I'll take it. You don't have to shovel rain!
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 9:03 AM
Thanks, Dayzee! I feel the love!
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 9:52 AM
"… David is the cute, wholesome, earnest, considerate, modest, polite, sensitive, devoted, reliable, trustworthy, boy-next-door-who-really-loves-me boyfriend I never had in high school. I probably forgot a few adjectives."
Ha, ha! You did! Forget a few that is. Because there just aren't enough adjectives for DA. One of my favorite songs from the play "Into the Woods", is the song called "Agony", which is sung by two princes. They are both fascinated by lovely girls. One, by Cinderella and one by Rapunzel. So far….. no luck! Both girls are "out-of-reach". They lament to each other:
"Am I not sensitive, clever, well mannered, considerate, passionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome, and heir to a throne?"
"You are everything maidens could wish for."
"Then why "no"?"
"Do I know?"
"The girl must be mad."Nah… she just knows that no one compares to DA! Sorry, prince!
You are among friends, Ronaleem.
This is a vid of the "Agony" song from the broadway play, "Into the Woods".
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 10:47 AM
Oh, my goodness, I hope I didn't offend you! You are most definitely welcome here!You sound like you're still trying to get used to the ODD so I was trying to explain why we "fangirl" sometimes. LOL David is many things to me and I appreciate them all. And his wonderful good looks is just another one of those things. I go from one end of the spectrum to the other with David. One minute I'm drowning in that golden voice, the next I am admiring his wonderful character, then the next someone posts a pic or video and I just can help but notice how handsome he is! haha It's a see saw. :D
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 11:33 AM
Ronaleem, I always love hearing from new members of the "Get-David Club"! It reminds me that I'm not crazy, just lucky! That blessed little vocal chord continues to spread happiness and hope! I loved reading your story and your comments…please continue.
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 11:49 AM
Angelica – you've made me want to grab my copy of Chords of Strength and read it again!
Bebe #54 – now I have to take time out of my day to watch these. You are forcing me to – twisting my arm, making me look … and listen. Shame on you! :-)
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 12:40 PM
Oh ronaleem ronaleem,
You are going through the "am I insane stages of ODD" lol. Well I'm here to tell you that you are not. Take our word for it. We are here for you ♥
Kaycee, Hope things lighten up for you. Always love to check before going to bed and see your late night comments.
Bluesky, You and Angelica amaze me. You're brains see and connect things in way I wish mine did.
Betsy, "Everything is happening as it should." Love your as a matter fact take :)
Bebe, I can't get The Day After Tomorrow out of my head!!!!!! Thanks for the links.
MT, It is incredible that David while being away generates the buzz he does. Not even idol alumni who are here get this or putting out music like David. He is some kind of wonderful :)
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 1:32 PM
Djafan: There is no cure. DA is the metaphor that embraces (sorry Angelica!) all other metaphors, semaphores, petit fours, and herbivores.
Metaphor: a figure of speech = he is a figure that frequently makes people speak … or …. renders all speech meaningless
Semaphore: an apparatus for visual signaling (as by the position of one or more movable arms). I would agree with that. I would only add: or moveable eyebrows. Just sayin' Once those eyebrows move, all else seems to come to a grinding halt.
Petit fours: a small cake cut from pound or sponge cake and frosted. No problem here: he is small, sweet, not a pound too much or too little. Frosted? Only when someone tries to get between him and his fans. Otherwise he is the icing on ANY cake!
Herbivore: An animal adapted to subsist solely on plant tissues. Closest I could come to explain how some peeps seem to survive only on DA-produced produce. ^_^
I am done. Thank you. (Djafan… please do not encourage me. *_*)
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 3:50 PM
#54, Those videos, the middle one … that face. ♥Bluesky,
#64, That whole thing … LOLOL Too funny!
Can I just say … You guys make my day, all of you. :D
And I do mean ALL of you. I'd write every single name on this post, but I'm too lazy. :D
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 9:18 AM
oo man he talks with those eyes
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 11:12 AM
This post and all the comments are all kinds of wonderful – enjoyed reading everything. The scream caps!! – EYES.
The twitter pix!
#69 interesting that he did that emo scene with the watch strap on the first day of filming and was able to turn on the tears. And that head shot with the intense gaze also on the first day! Wow!
Abrra – if you ever find "photographic proof of said SHORTS" – bring them here pronto!
#65 Bluesky – LOLOLOL
Now I'll have to go watch those vids at #54 -
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 11:45 AM
71 Sweetonda:
Hey!! Glad you had fun watching the clips of the play! Well…. we have all gone "Into The Woods" with dear DA, haven't we. We no longer know what lies ahead. We just know there is a lot of magic involved somewhere, and not a small sampling of mystery.
Those eyes could enchant all on their own.
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 12:53 PM
77 Abrra.. I love your backdoor scenes. That is pretty much how it is here. Snow, snow, snow. DA would not be happy.
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:16 PM
Abrra #65 – OMG, he is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Those pictures really do him justice – the eyes, the skin, good heavens.
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 5:25 PM
I need a bigger screen. And a bigger wall.
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 7:59 PM
I've been loving this for so long. <3
thanks YouCanCallMeTina

I am the lead cook of Paul Quinn College. I was taught to cook as a child while watching my mother. At the age of eighteen, I continued my education at Culinary Arts in McKinney, Texas. I enjoy creating dishes with different spices which will cater to different preferences of food that people liketo eat. I started my professional career at Paul Quinn College thirteen years ago.
During my time here, the students and staff have counted on me to serve them tasty quality cuisines in a timely manner. The students know that I will give advice based on life experience if asked, but I will not cut any corners with them. In the past years, I've seen Professors, Deans and Presidents come and go but change is a part of life. If it takes many transitions to make a positive difference, then change is very good.
The students want to learn and grow because Paul Quinn now has a staff that cares about quality education. African American History is the heart of the educational system which personally educates me by just being in the midst of it all.
There are other places where I could express my skills in culinary arts, but the question is,"Will Leonard Haggerty experience happiness and freedom to express himself in his field of work?" The answer is no! I've enjoyed my experiences at Paul Quinn College, and I look forward to many more years here.

Release Date
Assassin's Creed III continues the stealth, action and open-world gameplay that is the series' trademark, transporting the action to the American Revolution in the late 1800s. Our new Assassin is Connor Kenway – half-English, half-Native American, and taking orders from General George Washington himself…
Assassin's Creed on Wii U features:
- The largest and most ambitious Assassin's Creed Game yet
- Action in the city and in the wild frontier
- More missions with greater control on how you choose to play
- Traditional stealth and parkour gameplay
- Immense new Naval battles
- The final chapter in Desmond's story
- Exclusive Wii U Game Pad Features
The Frontier is a wide open wilderness that offers more unique challenges than ever before. From rocky cliff faces to heavy wooded areas, Connor is equally at home climbing and navigating trees and ledges as he is taking out enemies on the ground. And it's not just about stalking foes both British and Templar; this game gives you the chance to animals as well as your human prey.
City-based gameplay still plays a big part, with fantastic and densely-packed recreations of Boston and New York. On top of this, a new dynamic weather system is in place that brings real changes to the action with the changes of the seasons. When winter comes, rivers freeze bringing a change to the geography and allowing you to adapt to the terrain like never before. Enemy soldiers also adapt, becoming colder and slower and easier to pick off!
With larger-scale locations and a longer time-span, the way you execute your missions has evolved, too. New mission delivery systems like Clubs allow you to accept and carry out more than one mission at a time. With different tasks to balance and more freedom to accept missions when it suits you, Assassin's Creed III offers more control over how you play the game, and promises a more personal and layered experience.
The traditional stealth and combat returns in Assassin's Creed III, now looking and moving better than ever thanks to the new Ubisoft-AnvilNext engine. Connor is perhaps the most nimble Assassin yet, with hard –hitting combat and free-flowing parkour moves amongst the buildings, trees and everywhere else! He's not only armed with the traditional Assassin's knife, but has a trusty tomahawk with a blade shaped like the Assassin's symbol.
Naval combat makes its debut in Assassin's Creed III. For the first time, the action can take to the high seas as massive galleons blast each other apart with cannons in ship-to-ship combat. You'll have different kinds of ammo at your disposal, from traditional cannonballs to grape shot for shrapnel. Modify your cannonballs for even greater damage – chain two together for maximum impact, or set it ablaze and set your enemy on fire. Get close enough and you can even board enemy vessels for hand-to-hand combat with the opposing crew. And thanks to the new mission system, naval battles can be as big – or as small – a part of your story as you like.
Assassin's Creed III also marks the end of Desmond Miles' story as he relives his ancestors' lives for the last time. Return to the Animus once more and live the revolution in Assassin's Creed III!
Exclusive Wii U Game Pad Features
The Wii U Game Pad offers new options for control within Assassin's Creed III. As well as being used as the controller for the game, the Game Pad's screen will offer a large and expansive map of each level, meaning you will always know where you are and where you're going, without this affecting the main in-game action. For an ever greater view of the battlefield, the touchscreen can be used for "Eagle Vision", using the in-built accelerometer to control your movements.
The Game Pad touchscreen can also be used to quickly switch weapons and varying combos in the heat of battle – including during naval combat. It will also contain all the database and bio information, again keeping this off the main screen and away from the action.

Team Argo added butter to the soup recipe.
Team Richards rolled its cookies in powdered sugar — twice.
Team Sandburg refused to reveal its special touches.
"It's not a secret if we tell you," senior Heather Udowitz said. "When we win, then we'll tell you."
Eight culinary teams competed Tuesday in the First Regional Culinary Competition for area high schools, sponsored by the Moraine Area Career System and hosted by Argo High School.
Working in groups of three, the students prepared vegetable minestrone soup, Caesar salad, chicken Parmesan with pasta and Italian sugar cookies for dessert.
They had two hours to chop, sauté, mix, boil and bake four servings of each dish. They worked from identical recipes but were free to mix things up to their liking. One team, for example, created a Parmesan cheese bowl on which to place its Caesar salad.
In the end, Team Richards was named overall winner.
Richards sophomore Doaa Shehadeh revealed that she took the rind of the Parmesan cheese left over from the salad and put it in the soup to give it a flavor boost.
Her teammate Rachel Johnsen, a junior, said the girls also went beyond the recipe seasoning suggestion of salt and pepper for the chicken and sprinkled in some Italian spices.
When it came to the cookies, senior Jasmine Ortega not only rolled the pastry bites twice in sugar, she added additional pecans to the dough.
Beyond their special touches, Jasmine said, "I think we won because we worked really well together and helped each other out."
When one girl forgot to put the pasta on to cook, another reminded her to do so.
Having each other's backs, they agreed, was something their teacher Rob Staudacher taught them.
"He taught us really well," Rachel said. "We practiced a lot."
Staudacher returned the compliments.
"It's all them, they're great kids," he said. "They're hardworking and they devoted a lot of time to practice."
The event kicked off in the newly remodeled culinary kitchens at the Summit high school at 10 a.m. sharp. Each team had its own work station that included a stove, sink and counter area. They all had access to tables filled with ingredients, which ranged from canned tomatoes and packaged beef broth to fresh onions, carrots, garlic and celery.
In addition to flavor, they were being judged on knife cuts, texture, doneness and attention to sanitation.
Mike Cognetti, the contemporary technology department chair at Argo, said the event was at least three years in the making. Local culinary arts teachers have been working with MACS — a consortium of high school districts 217, 218, 220, 229, 230 and 231 — to choose a date and a site for the daylong competition.
Now, with the first competition under their belts, the schools hope to make it an annual event.
MACS assistant director Suzanne Kendryna said, "We work to foster collaboration among these regional schools in career and technical areas by sharing facilities and expertise."
Sara Szablewski, culinary instructor at Andrew High School in Tinley Park, said, "This is a great opportunity for students across the region to showcase their skills and see how they compare with other students in this area."
Argo Community High School District 217 Supt. Kevin O'Mara, who also has a background in the culinary world, having worked as general manager of the Pump Room for a time, said he was thrilled to see the project finally come together.
"It's good to see so many kids interested in cooking and good nutrition," he said.
At noon, the students were told to put down their utensils and step away from their creations. It was time for Chicago-area chefs and restaurateurs to judge their work.
Chuck Pine, executive chef and owner of Chuck's Southern Comfort Café in Burbank, judged the soup.
Elliot McCarty, head chef at D'Masti Catering in Blue Island, judged the cookies.
Mark Rimkus, executive chef at Flo & Santos Pizza and Pierogi in Chicago's South Loop, had the hearty task of tasting all eight dishes of chicken Parmesan.
Juliette O'Brill, high school representative and culinary specialist at the International Culinary School at the Art Institute, scored the salads.
Their tallies were totaled and Richards was awarded the first-place trophy. Shepard took second. Argo came in third.
After the award ceremony, and after the dishes were washed and put away, the judges chatted with the young chefs. For all of them, the restaurant world was a second career choice made late in their 20s or early 30s.
Pine complimented the Argo team for its flavorful soup. Rimkus reminded all not to forget to season at the start of the dish and again before serving.
While Ortega plans to study business at the University of Chicago this fall, many of the competitors, including Eisenhower's Luis Calderon and DeJon Henderson, have their sights set on entering the culinary field after high school graduation.
Rimkus warned that the field is not as glamorous as TV would have people believe.
"It's hard work, long hours, at very low pay to start," he said. "You need to know this going into it."
But McCarty added, "If this is your dream, just stick with it. It will seem overwhelming at times but it will come to you."

Risk Factors for Clostridium Difficile Colitis Requiring Colectomy
Steven J. Nurkin, M.D., Howard I. Tiszenkel, M.D., Lisa Galati – Burke, P.A.C., Kedar Oak, M.H.A., James Turne,r M.D.
Introduction: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most common nosocomial infections and a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality among elderly hospitalized patients. According to multiple reports, the disease seems to be more prevalent, virulent and refractory to medical therapy than it was in the past.
Methods: A prospective, multi-institutional, risk-adjusted cohort study of patients undergoing colectomy for CDI was performed from the 228 hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons Patient Safety in Surgery Study of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). Demographic, clinical, and intraoperative variables and 30-day morbidity and mortality were prospectively collected in standardized fashion.
Results: Reviewing the 2005-2007 databases, we identified 127 patients that underwent colectomy. Eighty-eight patients (69%) were discharged from the hospital alive. Operative mortality was 30.7%. The mean age of the mortality group was 75 years and the survival group was 64 years, p-value = 0.0006. Overall mean pre-operative WBC counts for all colectomy patients was 26,600. A trend for a higher mean pre-operative WBC count was observed in the mortality group (29,000) compared to the survival group (25,000), but was not statistically significant. 43% of patients were transferred from a health care facility prior to operation (i.e. chronic care facility or an acute care hospital). The average preoperative BUN was 41mg/dl and creatinine was 2.2mg/dl.
There were 28.3% of the patients on a ventilator and 54% of the patients were in septic shock just prior to colectomy.
Conclusion: Operative intervention for CDI has a poor prognosis. Detection of risk factors, and clinical variables early on, may help with earlier surgical intervention and improved outcomes.

Members of the Association of Bay Area Governments and the Metropolitan Transmission Commission voted early Friday to pass Plan Bay Area and its accompanying environmental impact report. The votes on both documents were virtually unanimous.
In a vote after midnight, Marin County supervisors Steve Kinsey and Katie Rice voted yes on both, while Novato City Councilwoman Pat Eklund abstained from voting on both Plan Bay Area and the impact report.
In an email following his vote, Kinsey wrote: "I voted 'yes' on the plan knowing that it doesn't reduce local control over land use. It actually commits the region to embrace long-standing principles reflected in Marin's protection of ag and open space, while encouraging limited new development along transit corridors.
"Voting 'no project' would not only be unlawful under state legislation, it would increase greenhouse gas impacts, sprawl and transit inefficiency," he wrote.
After months of discussion and half a dozen public meetings in Marin County alone, the regional transportation and land/use housing plan ignited a storm of controversy in Marin.
Vocal opponents of Plan Bay Area were vying with supporters of the plan and those who want more emphasis on mass transit Thursday night as officials were prepared to take a final vote on the proposal. Public speakers were limited to one minute.
When her turn came, Susan Kirsch, one of the co-founders of Citizen Marin, called all the opponents in the hall to join her at the podium.
"This plan has been wrong from the beginning," Kirsch said. "You don't represent us. What we demand is the right to vote."
Linda Rames of Mill Valley, who also spoke, said, "You are so cynical that you don't care about the municipalities that you represent."
Kevin Krick, a leading member of the Marin Republican Party, said, "This plan will not reduce greenhouse gases. It is clearly a social engineering experiment."
While expecting defeat, Marin opponents were out in force to watch their local representatives cast their votes.
Citizen Marin, the coalition of Marin neighborhood groups that united to oppose Plan Bay Area, chartered a 48-seat Marin Airporter bus to shuttle plan opponents to the meeting, which took place in the 500-seat exhibition hall of the Oakland Marriott hotel in downtown Oakland.
Passengers included: Corte Madera Mayor Diane Furst, Larkspur Mayor Dan Hillmer, Sausalito Councilwoman Linda Pfeifer, former Fairfax mayor Frank Egger, supervisorial candidate Toni Shroyer and Randy Warren, who is running for a seat on the San Rafael City Council.
The decision on the plan was up to the Association of Bay Area Governments' 38-member executive board and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's 21 commissioners. Both groups include elected public officials from throughout the nine-county Bay Area. Rice and Eklund serve on ABAG's executive board; Kinsey is a MTC commissioner.
A collaboration of four regional government agencies, Plan Bay Area sets out housing and transportation plans in response to the California Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008. The state law requires each of California's 18 metropolitan areas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks 30 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.
The plan seeks to channel 80 percent of the Bay Area's housing growth and 66 percent of its job growth into "priority development areas." These are areas typically located along existing traffic corridors, near mass transit, jobs, shopping and other services that have been identified and approved by local cities or counties for future growth. Local jurisdictions that approve priority development areas will be rewarded with grant money.
Opponents of the plan, such as Citizen Marin, assert that it robs counties and cities of their control over land-use decisions and will result in high-density apartment developments that will degrade Marin's pristine environment and erode its small-town character. But another group of Marin residents, Concerned Marinites to End NIMBYism, have defended Plan Bay Area, asserting that opponents of the plan are really worried that the creation of higher-density, more affordable housing will attract lower-income, more ethnically diverse residents to the county.
Responding to a drumbeat of criticism from Citizen Marin and other opponents, county supervisors last week voted unanimously to withdraw Marinwood and Tamalpais Valley from consideration as "priority development areas."
Opponents of Marinwood's participation in Plan Bay Area have launched an effort to recall Supervisor Susan Adams. Randy Warren, a businessman and San Rafael attorney, has said his opposition to Plan Bay Area motivated him to run for San Rafael City Council in November.
It was clear at Thursday's meeting that officials have been listening to the criticism of Plan Bay Area. One of the revisions to the plan underlined the fact that it will not rob local jurisdictions of their control over land-use decisions.
The plan was altered to read: "Adoption of Plan Bay Area does not mandate any changes to local zoning, general plans, or project review. The region's cities, towns, and counties will maintain control of all decisions to adopt plans and permit or deny development projects."

Subaru Impreza Clutch questions
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,742Yeah, it is interference and most likely is in the head unit. I hope I did not poke too much fun your way; I had the visual of a "rough idol" in my mind and it tickled me just the right way.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
kent1 Posts: 2Had my clutch replaced at 57,000 due to clutch chatter when cold and also clutch fade under load.
Did not go to dealer, but garage who has done work for me before. Had a new factory clutch replaced, told me oem flywheel for that model and year was not available? resurfaced flywheel and clutch kit installed total $825. Price was right but now I have clutch chatter out of first and in reverse and down shifting worse then before. Was Told to drive car to break in clutch, took a few launches to help speed up break in. 10 days later not much difference. He told me to bring back but why do I still have this chatter? wondering if I should have gone to dealer? -
kent1 Posts: 2Brakes make a squeeling noise. Had pads checked and rotors. both ok. noise continues, goes away when brakes are applied. My guy put some material behind each pad to reduce possible cause for noise. Worked for a short time. Now it's back. really notice in parking garage. How to solve?
bachemicullo Posts: 3a good shade tree mech is "looking for input" before jumping into a clutch swap.
? those that have done it ...will you do it again or pay someone else?
? is this difficult and require any special tools?
? how high would I have to lift the car from the floor?
? would i need a helper?
-- original clutch got 105K miles - pretty happy with it, i enjoy driving hard but don't race (old age and wisdom)
? what's advantage in going to another clutch vs. the Subaru stock - taking into account the dealer price - ouch!
? recommendation on clutch kit manufacturer and distributor web address?
? replace or resurface the flywheel?
? if replace then from what manft'r and distributor?
thanks!!!! -
paisan Posts: 21,181Royal PITA to swap it, hard part is splitting it from the engine block. Especially at 105k miles. Should pay about $300-400 max in labor from a shop.
I've done several, and have paid to get recent ones done.
You'll need a clutch tool, and if you don't have air tools, you'll need them as well to break the bolts.
I'd say you need the car at least 1'-2' off the ground, enough to get the trans out from under it, you'll also need a trans jack or 2nd jack.
Several helpers would help
I've used Exedy clutches as replacements, better than stock and cheaper
I'd go for the Exedy Sport Organic Clutch kit (which includes the pilot and throwout bearing, and pressure plate)
I replaced mine with the Exedy Lightened Flywheel, easy upgrade while you are in there.
Hope this helps.
-mike -
bachemicullo Posts: 3thanks much Mike!
I've got air tools but i do know how difficult it is to change a clutch from a laying position vs. working under a lift. I think that i'll follow your lead and pay my local trusted mechanic ...with a lift.
Many clutch options - is this the one that you were referring to?
Exedy Clutch Kit 2002-2005 Subaru Impreza Pull Type Clutch FJC521; FJD024; BRG601. Availability: In Stock Usually Delivers in 2 to 3 days
2002-2005 Subaru Impreza W0133-1653770 $273.95
Flywheel is pricey at $471.95 - is this the one you were referring to?
Thanks so much!
david -
paisan Posts: 21,181That is the standard clutch kit. I'd go for the W0133-1597403 for the WRX Sport Organic. Gives you a bit extra bite and combined with the lightened flywheel will add a little extra umph. The $ you are saving from getting it done at a dealer would offset the higher prices for the better parts.
I assume your car is a WRX?
-mike -
bachemicullo Posts: 3Yes - WRX.
I went to the Exedy web site and came up with the following:
Clutch Kit - Organic (as you suggest)
- http://www.exedyusa.com/oe/15802
and the flywheel:
- http://www.exedyusa.com/oe/FF01
prices all seem to be the same regardless of distributor for a combined total of $1,020.00.
Dealer wanted $1,596 installed which included $257 for a new flywheel. Difference of $600 should be labor for my local mechanic ... and i'd get a better clutch and flywheel.

larryk1152 Posts: 1I only have 45K miles on car and already need a new clutch. Dealer is pricey and indpendent mechanic says that Subaru clutches have issues not acknowledged by Subaru. He suggeststhat I get repalcement at www.fastwrx.com, but I have no clue what to get. I like speed, but do not want to affect daily driving adversely.
Any thoughts?

Hi folks!
How about getting your creative juices flowing, now that the game is out and many rules questions have been answered? I'd like to hear about various small set-ups you'd like to test your players with, stuff that can be incorporated by others in their scenarios. Oh and preferably role-playing related although all kinds of situations are welcome.
I'll start with this: in preparation of a Battle, let the kill-team participate in some festivity of mass by the ecclesiarchy. The local preacher/cardinal/congregation is of a brand that preaches the Emperor as a God (of course) and the Astartes as his Angels. Try to make some of your players feel as uncomfortable with heaps of praises and hallelujahs and deification as possible - as many chapters might disagree or even disagree strongly with such notions. Then after the sermon has finished (assuming the players don't do anything), let the cardinal ask the kill-team's leader to say some words to the congregation.
If this still doesn't lead to conflict with the preacher, have the mass end with some silly, superstitious and over-the-top ritual in which the players are asked to participate (holding hands, chanting cumbaya, whatever you think might tick them off). The point is here to force the players into conflict with the supersititous faith of this brand of the imperial cult, to see how much it takes for the individual character to vent and how he does it. If they only refuse to participate, just have the preacher ask them what's wrong and otherwise let him be obnoxious in his adoration.

Leopard Shawl Collar Blazer
Style # 224633
Update your workweek with a bit of ferocious print in this bebe leopard blazer, featuring a luxe crisp lightweight fabric, polished shawl collar and an effortless cuffed design. Try it over a bodysuit, a pair of boyfriend jeans and strappy heels.
- 100% polyester
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Center back to hem: 18" (46 cm)
- Padded shoulders
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Leopard Shawl Collar Blazer
It's wild sophistication.
Quality of this vest is great, the fabric is on the thinner side but it's lined so I like it. It will work for spring, maybe summer and fall. It's a tricky piece because of the wild leopard print but it's fun at the same time. On sale I bought it in XXS, I down sized because it did fit better. Another thing I like is that it has 3/4 sleeves and I can roll up a little more showing the black lining for more casual looks yet put together. The design of this (or very similar) blazer is stylish, hopefully bebe sells more in different colors! Recommended if you are considering it.
March 1, 2014
Well rounded blazer
I've been wanting this for sometime and finally bought it. Love it, great for all occasions. Adds a kick to casual outfits. Runs true to size.
November 4, 2013
I looked so good its a nice fit and I got a lot if compliments I did not like the feel of the fabric at first but after working it I was really happy. Better quality fabric would be nice. Other than that I was happy.
August 27, 2013
Very cute!
Just received this blazer today and its super cute! It has slight padding in the shoulders and that makes it drape very well on the body. Runs true to size. Only downfall is that the material is very thin...not quite what you would expect for $117. But other than that, its very versatile!

Those high temperatures may occur during frying, baking or roasting.
Acrylamide also is found in other foods, such as roasted coffee, cereals, breads and many baked goods.
During the past decade, the compound has come under scrutiny as a possible carcinogen.
Acrylamide production can be reduced to some extent by potato variety selection, cultural practices in the field, storage practices and cooking temperatures, Baker said.
By adding the Innate technology, he said acrylamide levels could be reduced an additional 50%-80%, which would bring them under the target.
The first three varieties scheduled for release are russet burbank, a baking potato; ranger russet, a french fry variety; and atlantic, a chipping variety.
J.R. Simplot hopes to have USDA approval by 2014, which would allow it to have a limited amount of Innate potatoes on the market by 2015, Baker said.
In years to come, the company plans to release snowden, yukon, pike and russet norkotah varieties with the reduced black spot/acrylamide traits.
Although the details are still in the works, Baker said J.R. Simplot would develop an identity preservation plan so Innate potatoes would not be commingled with conventional varieties during growing or packing.
The company also is looking at potential in the retail potato arena, he said.
"We're open to a number of commercialization possibilities," Baker said.
The same gene responsible for black spot bruising during harvest and storage also causes browning when potatoes are sliced during food preparation.
Only about 50%-60% of a potato crop grades as USDA #1, depending on the year and storage length. But with the Innate Technology, downgrades caused by bruising could be reduced by 10%-15%, Baker said.
The benefits also would carry through to retailers, with reduced shrinkage from having to toss bruised potatoes, he said.

Venice is a key center for paper arts...
And marbleized paper/carta marmorizzata is their specialty.
during the 1970s. The sheets are made by hand and each is unique. Why not don your marbleized mask and write some old fashioned snail mail on these perfect note cards..?

However, I'm surprised that DTV would allow any photos at all of the inside of their facility.
I think most of the "proprietary" stuff is software. The outside stuff is clearly visible on Google Map. The computer banks are pretty generic, it's how they all work together that's the secret.

Agree, Like I said there far less games on NFL Sunday Ticket now, then there ever has been. Thats going to mean something to Directv and its customers .
Directv isn't going to see the value is spending Billion on something thats quite frankly, NOT really exclusive IMO.
I've had Dish and Cable, both had Red Zone.
Plus the now 13 games on NFL network.
NBC has 18 with Thanksgiving Night.
ESPN has 17 with their 2 monday night games week one. And Saturday Night game.
And 2 Thanksgiving day games.
3 local games every sunday for 17 weeks
You don't need ST to see any of these.
101 games you don't need Sunday Ticket for.
Thats almost a Quarter of the season that everyone without ST can watch out of market games. Add red zone channels, and they can catch their teams mainly important plays.
Without it alot of us would not get to see hardly any of our favorite teams.

I agree. It seems like the focus is going to Sunday Ticket when the article seems to be about a broadcast center.
I find this kind of ironic.
A couple of months ago, the exact opposite happened. There was a thread about Sunday Ticket that had turned its focus to the Solid Signal DirecTV Broadcast Center Tour, albeit momentarily.

In recent months the DOG WORLD website has become an increasingly important vehicle for debate on canine topics. The comment function makes the website both immediate and vibrant. DOG WORLD considers debate healthy but we expect contributors to adhere to acceptable levels of respect for those whose views differ from their own.
All users of the website are subject to our published terms and conditions but we have been asked a lot of questions recently about how we moderate comments and so here we hope to make this process clearer in a Q&A format.
What is the aim of the site?
The aim of the site is to encourage a dynamic forum for debate in an open but civilised way. We try to delete as little as possible though some content has to be removed, usually for legal reasons, sometimes for taste reasons and always with the aim of keeping the community running smoothly and minimising conflict.
What is moderation?
Moderation is the removal or editing of messages or content which is unsuitable or offensive. Moderators are people who work to guidelines set by the website owners.
How do you moderate?
Registered users are encouraged to publish comments directly. Although we regularly monitor the site, we don't guarantee to read all the comments posted and rely on users to complain about anything that is offensive or inappropriate.
What do you remove?
The main types of content that we remove are:
a) Personal abuse. Criticising an argument is fine, attacking the person making it is not. In other words, you can say a person's argument is idiotic but don't call them an idiot. Repeatedly posting personal or offensive comments about individual may be considered harassment.
b) Legal. Libellous comments, that is those that make defamatory claims about people, will be removed as soon as we become aware of them. Any other content that breaks the law or condones or encourages unlawful activity will also be removed. This includes breach of copyright and contempt of court.
c) Racist, sexist and homophobic material and comments likely to incite religious hatred. Generalisations about entire groups of people are never a good idea and, in some cases, may be illegal.
d) Advertising. Content which promotes products or services for profit.
e) Offensive language. Content which contains swear words or other language likely to offend.
f) Privacy. Content contains email addresses or other personal contact details.
I've seen an instance of the above and you didn't remove it. Why not?
We may not have seen it. We rely on our readers to report inappropriate material. If you see something that you don't think should be on the site, please send us a complaint via the "Report as inappropriate' link. We will ask you to give your reasons as to why you feel the material is inappropriate.
I complained about something and you didn't remove it. Why not?
We encourage users to help us keep the site a civilised place to visit by making complaints. We give each complaint serious consideration but that doesn't mean we always agree. Many factors are involved in our decision. The words you use and the context in which the comment is made can affect our decision as much as the content itself. However, moderation is a subjective business and some comments will be viewed differently depending on who moderates them.
Will you tell me why my comment was deleted? Will you tell me why the comment I complained about was not deleted?
We don't enter into discussions about why a certain comment was or was not deleted. We don't have time to do this and, in any case, we find that it is seldom constructive.
What about my right to free speech?
Free speech is an important value to us and we know that it is to you too. However, that doesn't mean we can drop all restrictions. Some of these restrictions are there for legal reasons, others are there to stop the site becoming unpleasant. If you don't like the restrictions we place on comments, there are other places online where you can comment without any moderation at all.
Why do you allow registered users to adopt nicknames?
Your right to privacy is important to us. The use of a nickname is a device widely used to protect privacy as it discourages unsolicited or unwelcome direct contact from other users. Of course, you are also welcome to use your own name if you prefer.
Do you delete comments that are critical of Dog World?
No. You're welcome to criticise our arguments, point out oversights and suggest things we haven't considered. We know that our readers are very knowledgeable. However, personal abuse is not tolerated.
Why haven't you banned so-and-so?
We reserve the right to ban some accounts outright. Spammers and people who are obviously impersonating another user will have their accounts deleted as soon as they are brought to our attention. We are more lenient with users that we believe are commenting in good faith, though we will delete unacceptable material. If your account is in danger of being suspended we will send you an email warning first.

Our layaway offers you the opportunity to get the products you need on a payment plan. Using cloth diapers saves money, but we understand that getting your initial cloth diaper stash can be hard when you are short on cash. Our cloth diaper layaway plan allows you to spread the cost out over 3 months.
Select the items you need, then use the voucher code "LAYAWAY" when you checkout. You'll only be charged 25% of the cost of your order. I will set your items aside until they are paid for.
You will then be responsible for paying 25% each month for the next 3 months. If you do not finish paying for your order within 90 days you can apply any amount you have paid as store credit or you will receive a refund of current paid amount less a 25% restocking fee.
You can make payments on your layaway items with PayPal by putting "Layaway" and your name in the subject of the payment. The email address for Paypal is email@example.com. You can also pay with check or credit card. Please call us at 1-877-536-0850 for more information.
Certain items are dropshipped (cosleeper, etc.) from the manufacturer. These items are not actually ordered until the payment is made in full. In rare cases a manufacturer may change or discontinue a product during the payment period. If this happens and the product or a reasonable substitute (such as a different color) is not available then a refund will be issued.
