This soup reinterprets an Irish classic: colcannon, a dish of mashed potatoes and kale or cabbage. Garnish with extra thyme and black pepper.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add potato, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook 6 minutes. Add broth and 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes or until potato is tender.
Combine 3 tablespoons water and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large Dutch oven; bring to a simmer. Add cabbage and thyme. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Place half of potato mixture in blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining potato mixture. Add potato mixture to cabbage mixture; cook over medium-low heat until thoroughly heated.

Make a double batch of these crackers, which will keep several weeks in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to three months. Serve with high-quality Irish butter.
Preheat oven to 300°.
Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; stir with whisk. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/3 cup water and cream; stir to form a stiff dough.
Roll dough into a 13-inch square on a baking sheet. Score dough into 16 equal squares. Pierce each cracker with a fork. Bake at 300° for 45 minutes or until crisp. Cool on pan.

Wild salmon isn't in season just yet, so look for fresh-frozen (labeled "fish frozen at sea" or FAS) fish in stores, or order online from SeaBear Wild Salmon (www.seabear.com).
Preheat oven to 450°.
Place fish, skin side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush fish with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Darina Allen uses a heritage variety of kale called "cut and come" that isn't available in the States, so she suggests collard greens as a good substitute.
Bring 12 cups water to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add greens and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until greens are tender; drain. Combine greens, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, butter, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring until butter melts.

A bowl of buttery mashed potatoes--known as champ in Ireland--flecked with green onions "is comfort food at its best," says Allen.
Place potato in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until potato is tender; drain.
Combine milk and onions in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer. Cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine potato, milk mixture, butter, salt, and pepper in a bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.

"My mother, Elizabeth O'Connell, now 82, still makes this soda bread every day," says Allen.
Scoring a deep cross into the surface of the dough is called "blessing the bread." Because the bread uses baking soda as a leavener, it requires minimal kneading and no rising, so you can bake it just before supper and serve it warm.
Preheat oven to 450°.
Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Make a well in center of mixture. Add buttermilk to flour mixture; stir until blended (dough will be sticky). Turn dough out onto a generously floured surface; knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Shape dough into an 8-inch round loaf; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut a 1/4-inch-deep X in the top of the dough.
Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400° (do not remove bread from oven); bake 15 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

This showcases fresh rhubarb, which is just coming into season.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, rhubarb, and sugar; toss well. Let stand 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Roll dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit dough into a 10-inch round removable-bottom tart pan. Press dough against bottom and sides of pan, and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Spoon the rhubarb mixture into crust. Bake at 350° for 55 minutes. Cool completely, and cut into wedges. Serve with whipped topping.

Germany – The biggest cocaine seizure in the country's history and it was made in someone's house. Police raided it and found 220-pounds of cocaine bricks. That's about six and a half million dollars. Seven men have been arrested, they are all from Turkey.
Also in Germany, fans of all things furry are all in one place. 800-people dressed to impress at a convention. People into this kind of stuff, explain the appeal.

The Latest On Kimmo Timonen

fom Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly,
The Kimmo Timonen saga took a bizarre turn Thursday night with Flyers coach Craig Berube saying during his pre-game meeting with reporters that the former All-Star defenseman was returning to the team.
A little over an hour later, general manager Ron Hextall, who hinted Wednesday that things were "moving along" in a positive manner for the Timonen's return, said Berube was wrong.
"There's no definitive decision on Kimmo coming back," Hextall said.
He said he hoped to have a final answer later this weekend and that Timonen still had not been medically cleared to play.
"There's still a process going on and quite frankly, since I last talked to you guys, it has not moved forward," Hextall said. "It's at the same spot."

Evening Line- Nicholas J. Cotsonika On The Olympics
by Paul on 01/29/15 at 07:01 PM ET
Comments (0)
— Is the NHL done with the Olympics? Depends on whom you ask. The owners don't want to go, and league officials seem pessimistic. The players do want to go, and union officials seem optimistic. They agree on one thing: A lot depends on whether they receive concessions in Pyeongchang like they did in Sochi – insurance costs, travel costs, access, et cetera. Serious talks have not even started with the IIHF and the IOC, but most expect a decision to be made sooner than last time.
— NBC has paid billions for NHL and Olympic rights in the United States. It certainly would prefer NHL players go. But it might not pressure the NHL to participate in Pyeongchang. It might not care as much as you might think. If NHL players stay home, NBC could air other events – say, more figure skating – or hockey in whatever form it takes. One TV perspective: "It'll still be Olympic hockey, and it'll still outdraw the NHL's ratings."

A Weird Retirement Day For Martin Brodeur
by Paul on 01/29/15 at 03:54 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Jeff Blair of Sportsnet,
It seldom ends in a nice, neat package any more, because we are in sports Viagra era.
We live longer and our idols tend to perform at passable or better levels for longer periods of time because of better training, nutrition, medicine, travel — and, drug-testing often being half a step behind the cheaters, sometimes chemical intervention.
Go hard, don't worry about going home.
It's still said that if Wayne Gretzky can be traded, than anyone can be traded. True. The addendum is that if Gretzky can play out the string with the New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues, than anyone ought to be able to play out the string for whomever and for however long they want.
Still, watching Martin Brodeur retire from the NHL on Thursday surrounded by the logo and colours of a team for which he's played all of seven games seemed a little much, even by todays standards of disposability.
He's a New Jersey Devil — no, he IS the New Jersey Devils.

Ads On Sweaters For The World Cup Of Hockey?
by Paul on 01/29/15 at 02:11 PM ET
Comments (3)
from Rick Westhead of TSN,
NHL sponsors say they expect the league to use next year's World Cup of Hockey to trial on-uniform advertising.
Every North American sports league has weighed the added revenue putting ads on uniforms would generate against fan backlash. ...
In September, NHL officials told team presidents that the league would prefer not to be the first major league in North America to feature on-uniform ads, even though the move might generate $120 million.
But more recently, in the wake of the NHL's announcement of the eight-team World Cup of Hockey, sponsors say they expect the league and NHLPA to be aggressive with its marketing efforts. NHL officials have said privately that they hope the tournament generates close to $100 million. (The league recently sold the World Cup's Canadian TV rights to Rogers Communications for about $30 million, NHL sources tell TSN.)
The NHL has informed sponsors that it will feature about eight categories of sponsorships for the World Cup, selling each for about $1.5 million. To have a corporate logo featured on a team jersey would probably cost about $2 million per team, sources tell TSN.

Party Frame Help
Well I'm trying to rework my UI to make it more useful and take up less screen space. I am looking for an addon that gives good party frames inot the red box in the below picture. Thats where my grid is so I want them to use the same space. I tried using X-perl but once I got it small enough to fit into the boxed area it was far too small to see anything. Then I tried Pitbull but it confused me a lot (if anyone knows where a guide for it is please tell me). I really just need something simple that shows my party's health and mana values, buffs, and targets. Thanks.

The world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart takes in revenues in excess of $280 billion, employs 1.4 million American workers, and controls a large share of the business done by almost every U.S. consumer-product company. More than 138 million shoppers visit one of its 5,300 stores each week. However, it is argued that Wal-Mart's "everyday low prices" come at a tremendous cost to workers, suppliers, competitors, and consumers.
In a gripping, richly-textured narrative, author Anthony Bianco shows how Wal-Mart has driven down retail wages throughout the country, how their substandard pay and meager health-care policy and anti-union mentality have led to a large scales exploitation of workers, why their aggressive expansion inevitably puts locally owned stores out of business, and how their pricing policies have forced suppliers to outsource work and move thousands of jobs overseas.
Based on interviews with Wal-Mart employees, managers, executives, competitors, suppliers, customers, and community leaders, this book continues the debate about Wal-Mart's controversial business practices.

'Hamlet' too hard? Try a comic book
It may be a shocking dilution of academics - or an ingenious way to hook reluctant readers.
At Oneida High School in upstate New York, Diane Roy teaches the students who failed ninth-grade English the first time around. Last year, on the heels of "Hamlet," she presented her class with a graphic novel - essentially a variety of comic book.
Comic books have long been deemed inappropriate classroom reading material. If they appeared at all, they were smuggled in, disguised within the pages of a physics textbook or a volume of Shakespeare.
It's this image - of comic book as contraband - that has endured in the popular imagination at least since the 1950s, when the Senate Judiciary Committee investigated the comic book's sinister influence and potential to inspire juvenile delinquency.
But now the books are turning up on some classroom bookshelves - especially in classes where teachers are desperate to engage struggling and reluctant adolescent readers. For a certain type of student - particularly those who are visually oriented and bright but may lack the motivation or maturity to succeed in freshman English - the graphic novel can become a "bridge to other things," explains Ms. Roy.
Today, the comic book - and its lengthier sibling, the graphic novel - are growing in scope and popularity. In 2002, the theme of the annual Teen Read Week sponsored by YALSA, the youth branch of the American Library Association, was "Get Graphic." Graphic novels can be found in public and school libraries, as well as bookstores, where entire shelves are often devoted to the genre. Manga, the Japanese graphic novels, have swept up teen readers.
And in July, the New York Times Magazine ran a cover story positing that the comic book could become the next "new literary form."
Roy's experiment with the graphic novel as text struck gold when she assigned Art Spiegelman's "Maus," the story of his parents' experience in the Holocaust told as a cat and mouse allegory - a highly regarded work that won the Pulitzer Prize. From there, some students moved to graphic novels about Hitler, and finally made their way to traditional books about the Holocaust.

Rome Vagrant Jacket - Men's
Good Jacket too bad bout the zippers
I've worn this jacket for about half the season now (~12 days).
- Color makes it easy for my friends to spot me
- Ipod remote joystick on the sleeve is full of win.
- Wrist gaiters are nice and not too thick like other jackets I've had.
- Length is a little on the long side which I like.
- Color has faded a bit
- The vent zippers are complete fail. They jam really easily and need to be forced which makes them not all catch. The main front zipper works fine. Just hope you don't have to open/close your vents often.
Bottom line:
Good jacket that has held up well so far. Rome needs to L2 make zippers.

Kate Hudson Pregnant Pictures at LA Premiere of Something Borrowed
Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin Talk Something Borrowed, Marriage, and Love at Their LA Premiere
Kate Hudson wowed in Versace last night on the blue carpet at the LA premiere of Something Borrowed. She headed to the West Coast shortly after wearing a gold Stella McCartney number to Monday night's big Costume Institute Gala in NYC, where her costar, Ginnifer Goodwin, ranked among your Met Ball best dressed in green Topshop. The ladies shared the spotlight yesterday with their leading men, John Krasinski and Colin Egglesfield. John was back in Hollywood following some jet-setting of his own, as he spent the weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan visiting wife Emily Blunt on the set of her Jason Segel-penned new movie Five Year Engagement. John spoke to us before heading into the screening not about life as a husband, but about his excitement at being in the film's sequel and a part of such a well-loved book series. Kate and Ginnifer, both engaged to be married themselves, shared about being in love. Ginnifer revealed that she and Kate have been trading wedding tips, while Kate says she's just enjoying being so happy at the moment. Stay tuned later to see more from the event on PopSugar Rush!

Officially Speaking | February 2014
President's Column | Councilor's Midwinter Report | ALSC Donors
Hand in Hand
There is nothing like the excited anticipation and energetic bustle of committee work inherent at the Midwinter Meeting! Committees and work groups convene and generate the kind of dynamic energy that is created when passionate, committed professionals come together to pool their collective talents for progressive projects and programs and to carry on the long-established work that is at the foundation of our association—the evaluation of media for children.
It is the latter process that led me to ponder our steadfast and oh-so-important partners—those who are in the business of creating and providing the tools that are essential in allowing us to do our good work with children and families. We depend on the work of equally passionate and committed authors, illustrators, filmmakers, musicians, editors, designers, publishers, and promoters of the materials we employ every day in service to children as much as we depend on the evaluation and award committees that work year round to assess the very best in books, recordings, videos and websites so that we all may share their considered judgment with our clientele.
Midwinter is a time to recognize, honor and celebrate the arduous and rewarding work of all the parties involved, which culminates in the lists of award winners, notables, and great websites. The fruits of their labor may be seen at:
In addition, we are fortunate to benefit from the work of related committees around ALA:
Coretta Scott King Awards (Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table)
Stonewall Awards (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Round Table)
Midwinter is also an occasion to look forward, to network in the exhibits and in programs for previews of the work to be unveiled this year. It offers the opportunity to chat with publishers and colleagues to express our appreciation for all types of media produced for children—not only those cited by award and notable committees, but the multitude of titles that lift hearts, engage minds, tickle funny bones, open eyes to new worlds, and bring children and families back to the library for more.
A friend in publishing recently related the pride she feels when she sees a book to which she has contributed in the hands of a child on the subway, and recognizes that it was probably the result of the influence of a librarian. As librarians, we know that feeling as well, when we see children leave the library with materials we recommend, knowing the hand that our colleagues in publishing and media play in equipping us with what we need to fulfill our role effectively. The two fields are inextricably linked in leading children to literacy and library use.
Even as we congratulate all those publishers, producers, and creators whose outstanding work has been recognized, we know it is we librarians and readers who are the winners. We are grateful for their work and proud to be their partners. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Let's give them a hand!--Starr LaTronica, ALSC President
ALSC Councilor's Report
Greetings, everyone! I'm happy to provide an update on the work of ALA Council during the recent Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia. (A side note: Midwinter attendance was 12,207, which is higher than it's been since we were last in Philly in 2008.) As ALA's governing body, Council works to provide policy direction for the association, and each ALA division—such as ALSC—has a representative—such as yours truly—with a voice. Below are some of the actions undertaken by Council, and a full list of related documents is available online.
A major concern of Councilors, as with many librarians, is the January 14 action by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals striking down "Net Neutrality" (described by ALA as "online non-discrimination"), and that same day ALA President Barbara Stripling issued a statement expressing our association's disappointment with the ruling. This issue concerns the "free flow of information for all people" and the ALA Committee on Legislation and the Washington Office will carefully monitor the unfolding implications of the ruling and keep us up to date.
Council heard a report from the Digital Content and Libraries Working Group, which is encouraged that all "Big 5" publishers are now making their content available to libraries to at least some extent. There is much work still to be done, however, and the group's advocacy work will continue on important issues including pricing, preservation, streaming, privacy, and accessibility.
Council bestowed Honorary Membership, ALA's highest honor, on Patricia Glass Schuman. A tireless library advocate, co-founder of Neal-Schuman Publishers, and author of such articles as "Libraries: Defending Children's Right to Know" (Reading Today, 1992), she has served as President and Treasurer of ALA, and joins a distinguished list of previous honorees. Memorial resolutions were presented for Major Owens, Augusta "Gussie" Clark, Nasser Sharify, and Bohdan Stephan Wynar, and a tribute to Philadelphia's Giovanni's Room Bookstore and Owner Ed Hermance was adopted.
Resolutions passed included those supporting "Maintaining Government Websites during a Government Shutdown," "Curbing Government Surveillance," and "Expanding Federal Whistleblower Protections" (while a resolution recognizing former NSA-employee Edward Snowden as a whistleblower was defeated). Council approved the establishment of the "Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced with Adversity," commended Congressman Sensenbrenner (R-WI-5) and Senator Leahy (D-VT) for their support of the USA Freedom Act, and honored Senator Rockefeller (D–WV) for his support of America's libraries. Council heard a report from the Freedom to Read Foundation, which will be publishing an updated Toolkit this spring, and referred a resolution to allow programs at Midwinter to the Budget Analysis and Review Committee for consideration of financial implications.
Part of being an ALA Councilor is also being an ALA-Allied Professional Association Councilor, and I invite you to visit the ALA-APA website to learn more about this important work to "promote the mutual professional interests of librarians and other library workers." To that end, the ALA-APA's focus is on the certification of individuals in specializations beyond the initial professional degree, direct support of comparable worth and pay equity initiatives, and other activities designed to improve the salaries and status of librarians and other library workers.
As the ALA election approaches next month, I would encourage you to check out the Councilor-at-Large candidates' biographies included in the ballot, look for members of any of the three youth divisions (AASL, YALSA, and, of course, ALSC), and consider lending your support to increasing the youth division representation on Council. The Youth Council Caucus, for which ALA President Stripling joined us in Philadelphia, can increase our visibility and influence as we continue to grow in number. Our advocacy efforts can also be strengthened by supporting the Declaration for the Right to Libraries, and I ask you to add your signature to it here in advance of its presentation at National Library Legislative Day in early May.
As always, I will share any important Council developments on ALSC-L and am interested in your thoughts regarding Council actions past, present, and/or future. I look forward to hearing from you.--Andrew Medlar, ALSC Division Councilor

Since the publication of its first report in 2009, I've closely followed the Shift Index initiative of Deloitte's Center for the Edge. The initiative, co-led by John Hagel and John Seely Brown, is an attempt to quantify what Deloitte calls The Big Shift, the long term transformations in the global business environment over the past several decades, brought about by the rapid advances in digital technologies as well as major changes in public policy.
One of their major findings is that the return on assets (ROA) of US companies have been steadily dropping, and are now 75 percent lower than their 1965 levels. ROA is a general indicator of the profitability of a company, so this means that something profound has happened in business to cause the ROA of US companies to drop to a quarter of their 1965 levels. This ROA decline is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.
The Shift Index is composed of 25 metrics grouped into three major indices that render explicit some of the major drivers behind this historical transformations. The Foundation index, measures the fast moving advances in technology performance and adoption, as well as the shifts of global public policy that are reducing the barriers to entry and movement. The Flow index measures the flows of capital, talent and knowledge across institutional and geographic boundaries that, enabled by an increasingly powerful digital infrastructure, are transforming the business landscape. And, the Impact index aims to quantify the impact of these changes on companies and individuals, as well as on competition, volatility and business performance.

Water supply plans
As part of the St. Johns River Water Management District's work to ensure adequate and sustainable water supplies are available to meet future needs while protecting the environment, the District prepares water supply plans per the provisions of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes.
The water supply planning process is an open and public process, and includes local governments, public supply utilities, self-suppliers, other stakeholders and the public.
Water supply plans are updated as needed — at a minimum, once every five years. Water supply plans identify future water supply needs for a 20-year planning horizon, and programs and projects needed to ensure sustainable supplies.
The District is divided into four planning regions as described below, and is working with other water management districts on water supply planning in each region.
Region 1: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns counties. Planning in this area is conducted in coordination with the North Florida Regional Water Supply Partnership and Suwannee River Water Management District.
Region 2: Marion, north Lake and Volusia counties, including coordination with the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
Region 3: Orange, Osceola, Seminole and southern Lake counties. Planning in this area is conducted in coordination with the Central Florida Water Initiative and South Florida and Southwest Florida water management districts.
Region 4: Brevard, Indian River and Okeechobee counties, including coordination with the South Florida Water Management District.

"Made it with lime jello and it was fabulous! Very, very easy to make and so low in carbs. Perfect for my low-carb lifestyle. I look forward to making other flavors in the future. UPDATE: For my second attempt, I used strawberry and switched the directions a bit. I added the cream cheese after the jello and then whipped the cream and folded it ..."
"Easy to do and very, very tasty. I used 1 part habanero sausage to 2 parts mild and substituted ground chicken--just because. I used a green onion in place of the onion flakes and added a liberal portion of garlic powder because I love garlic. I made two of them "scotch" and enjoyed both versions deliciously."
"Made this tonight. I wish the thickener had been mentioned in the ingredient list, I got tired of waiting and threw it over some shirataki noodles. Came out like a soup. Decent flavor, but a little too zesty for my tastes. I'm going to try a little less cayenne and substitute some bell pepper chunks for some of the onion next time."
"I found it quite tasty, but not very filling. I'll probably eat it as a side with bacon and eggs or for desert."


text: Hi, i was just wondering if anyone who has had the lap-band procedure can tell me what the cost was, and how much the fill is? i do not have the type of insurance that will cover weight loss procedures, so id like to know how much it would be. i have heard that it is much cheaper to get done in mexico and i would be willing to travel if i could afford it. any info you could give me on this subject would be much appreciated. thank you.

Bigger trucks are more dangerous trucks.
A report published by TRIP (The Road Information Program) finds that the nation's rural roads are in deficient condition, contributing to disproportionately higher traffic crash rates and fatalities—and bigger trucks would only compound these problems.

Start by slow-cooking pork shoulder in an aromatic bath of pineapple, beer (try a floral, spiced white ale like Hoegaarden or Blue Moon), and canned chipotles in adobo. Then shred the meat and set out a taco bar full of fresh flavors, bright colors, and crunchy textures. You can't go wrong here. We like bowls of crumbled cheeses, sliced radishes, chopped onions, avocado, shredded cabbage, and plenty of fresh cilantro.
Southern Living DECEMBER 2013
1. Rub roast with salt, and place in a lightly greased 6-qt. slow cooker. Pour beer and 1 can of pineapple tidbits over roast. Process chipotle peppers and remaining can of pineapple in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
2. Transfer pork to a cutting board; shred with two forks, removing any large pieces of fat. Skim fat from sauce, and stir in shredded pork.
3. Stir together fresh pineapple and next 5 ingredients. Serve pork in warm tortillas with pineapple mixture and desired toppings.

Tailgating is the one thing in life I truly hate. Ride my trucks tailgate & you'll find yourself staring down the barrel of a Colt 1911 .45
Spoken like a true idiot and asshole.
If you take that stance, you might just find yourself lying dead in a ditch when someone shoots you too.
Posted 23 June 2012 - 07:01 PM
But I don't think I would shoot a tailgater though. That might be a bit on the extreme side.

Check out Knox, Brotherton Knox & Godfrey...they will do a good job for her....
Posted 25 June 2012 - 09:41 AM
Apparently she was going to work and some dude was going 10 miles bellow speed limit so she decided to pass him, the extra line was finishing in like 300ft so she floored it but the dude floored it as well not to let her in... The line was finishing and she could not slow down on time so she hit side railing at like 60mph, totaling her car and side swiping the dudes car. Cop gave her a ticket for reckless driving on top of that...
She's getting a lawyer to try to wave reckless driving ticket. What should I expect? It's her first accident in 3 years lol. She totaled another car just over 3 years ago... also her fault.
Lemme see if I can translate this from womenese to real life:
The right lane was going the speed limit if not a bit faster, including the car in front of her. The far right lane was quickly ending, as it has every day since it's creation years ago...leaving it's merging as no surprise to her or any other driver on the road that day. Already ten minutes late for work, she thought she could make up some time by getting in front of the car directly in front of her...not realizing there were 2,045 cars in front of him as well. She saw Fast and the Furious, so she knew all about racing, closing speed, drift, and overcorrection. There was a good 1000 feet to pass the driver safely traveling on his way in front of her. 1000 feet was plenty to get her small 4 cylinder import out of line, past the car in front, and then back in line safely. Physics be damned. About halfway through the pass, she realizes her underpowered car didn't quite have the torque to throw it forward enough in the given space. Forgetting there was a perfectly workable break pedal beside her gas pedal (sidebar: let's all laugh at the idea of there being a clutch in her car), she tried to speed up when she freaked out about the impending barrier that, again, had been there for years. Caught in his blind spot, said driver in front wasn't aware of someone trying to make an idiotic pass on his right at that point of the road and he continued on his pace slightly above the speed limit. Back in our female's car, she's cussing up a storm because she thinks the man is trying to kill her. Realizing she's out of space, time, and driving competence, she vows to take him out as well, this innocent, unknowing red herring of her "driving" blame. She nails the barrier, bouncing off in good Newtonian predictability, and slams into him...instantly totaling her car, and making his passenger side door his new arm rest. She fumes, stays incredulous...blames the guy because it's obviously his fault. As was the accident that totaled her first car. No matter what people say, that bus full of kids was going 80 and forced her off the interstate in a move that would make Dale jealous.
(yes, I'm on a muted conference call)

Bolt targets 2016 Rio Olympics
Comment on this storyZurich - Usain Bolt wants to defend his three Olympic titles at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, though he has yet to decide his plans for next season.
Bolt says he's looking forward to Rio and to "really defend all my titles, that would make it even greater."
Still, Bolt could change his usual program of 100 and 200 meters and 4x100 relay at the 2013 world championships in Moscow or beyond.
Bolt says he'll soon discuss strategy with coach Glen Mills and "I will be saying long jump, he'll probably be saying 400 meters."
The Jamaican sprint star is unlikely to challenge his 200 world record of 19.19 seconds at the Weltklasse Diamond League meeting on Thursday.
Bolt says: "I just want to go home. I'm counting the days now."

Title: Playing With Fire
Author: Amy Knupp
Publication Info: Harlequin July 2010
Genre: Contemporary Romance
I bought this book because I love beach stories, romances set in small beach towns, friends-to-lovers plotlines, and, I'll be honest, I liked the cover, too. In the end, I struggled to finish it because while the beginning grabbed me, the middle let go of realistic emotion that I wasn't sure whether to finish it – except that I wanted to know what happened to the heroine at the end.
Macey has just returned from two years away in Thailand in the Peace Corps where she used her business degree to help small family businesses develop working plans to grow and become more successful. She's decided to take her six week vacation on San Amaro, a small Texas island, to help her childhood best friend Derek come back to the land of the living. Derek has taken over his uncle's beach bar and removed himself entirely from his former career of fighting fires after a terrible and tragic fire killed his girlfriend Julie five months prior. Macey has had it bad for Derek for a long time, and while she knew Julie vaguely as she and Derek fell in love – prompting Macey to join the Peace Corps – she can't stand knowing Derek has pretty much stopped living in his guilt and grief. It's time to wake him up.
You can probably guess my major problem with the book: the time line. If Derek has just lost his girlfriend, about whom he was pretty serious, in that same year, is it really appropriate to prod him into anything, much less a new relationship? Macey doesn't throw himself at him, and tries very hard to separate her desire for Derek from her desire to see him wake up and begin recovering from his grief, but over and over, I found myself thinking, "Girl, that is so not your call as to when and how he lets go of his own grief." Sometimes I could support her decisions, like asking Derek to stop working around the clock day after day, hiring new people to help staff the bar – which is slammed during the summer tourist season – and inviting him along on tourist-y outings to get him to escape from his very limited routine.
But other times, and more often, I wondered where the hell she got off telling him what to do, and whether her determined interest in Derek, which became less and less separated from her own desire, was over the line of inappropriate:
"Derek. What the hell is wrong with you? I know you're grieving, but what happened today?"
He sat there in silence for so long she wanted to kick a reaction out of him.
"Today's her birthday," he finally said, his voice so quiet and full of anguish that Macey barely heard him. "I'd planned on asking her to marry me."
Macey had no words. She sat down heavily, straddling his legs just above his knees, giving no thought to the contact now, too wrapped up in trying to somehow assuage his pain even though she knew she couldn't. She took both of his hands in hers and squeezed them.
Derek raised his chin and stared at the ceiling. Swallowed hard. "Sorry I skipped out on work."
"We did okay. But I was worried. I wish you'd told me what you were up against. I would've understood."
He met her gaze head-on. "I forgot it was her birthday, Mace. She's only been gone for five months and I'm already moving on, acting like I don't care. Forgetting the date I was going to propose."
"You're not acting like you don't care. I can tell you care, can tell you're mourning her in every single thing you do."
"I forgot her birthday."
"No offense, but I've seen no evidence of you moving on, Dare. You've practically stopped living."
He shook his head and looked away.
…He ran his beat-up hand through his hair and flinched, which told Macey his knuckles hurt worse than he was letting on. "I need to work."
"The world won't stop spinning if you take one night off."
He rose from the floor slowly. "I can't stand being in this place for the rest of the night. I'll come to work."
That she could understand. "Okay. If that's the case, get your butt in the shower. You smell like a gym. And call Gus. He's worried."
He stared stubbornly at her and then lifted the muscle shirt over his head, revealing that sculpted chest that had been burned into her mind since she'd watched him sleeping. Before Macey could react, he lowered his shorts.
"Going to stay for the rest?" he asked.
She couldn't help it; she looked down, thinking he'd surely left his underwear on. But holy cripes…nope. She averted her eyes, not quickly enough. He was staring at her, saw her reaction, which had to be all over her face because she'd never been able to hide a thing. Her cheeks warmed.
Derek's lips twitched into a humorless near smile.
"Careful who you boss around."
He turned away and walked to the bathroom and, Lord help her, she couldn't not check out his butt. Just for a second. Long enough to see that it was as beautiful and perfectly toned as the rest of his body. She whipped her eyes back up and wanted to sink through the floor when she realized he'd looked over his shoulder and again caught her staring at him. She hurried out of the room to wait at a safe range. Like maybe Alaska.
From extreme painful grief to checking out his butt? This is not the whiplash I was looking for.
I think Knupp took a very big risk in placing the story so soon after Derek lost his girlfriend, and I don't think that risk entirely paid off. Mourning someone that close to you takes a long time, off and on for months of up and down grief, and even if Macey didn't know Julie too well, Derek did, and the manner in which he was maneuvered and pressured into moving on away from his mourning left me very uncomfortable. Not only did she push him into more enthusiasm for life and new experiences but she wanted him to get back to firefighting, too. Eeep!
Aside from the conflict between the main characters, there were many other things I liked about the book, when I wasn't getting that funny, "Oh, dear," curl of squick in my stomach. I loved that Macey was re-entering her old life at home in Texas with the confidence and self-assurance she found in Thailand after two years in the Peace Corps. I loved the ways Derek's family drove him nuts and how his bar was his second home, and not in an entirely bad way. The beach bar is a wonderful setting, and I could imagine people queuing up for bar food and drinks, imagine the employees and the cook in my mind, and picture the other characters who become "regulars" in the bar. I liked the close community – and beach towns are wonderful for that – and I liked how the tourist influx determined how some of the other characters entered the story and how it changed the way they acted.
Knupp has some skill in the ancillary character department, and I'd be pleased to see her name on another book, but not one that tangles with such closely-kept and recently-endured grief. I had doubts about the happy ending because up to and including the last scene, I couldn't trust the hero's ability to recognize his own emotions, much less act on them in a justifiable manner. His forced exit from understandable grieving (especially considering the details of his girlfriend's death, which are revealed in the story) at the cheerful and persistent prodding of Macey left me in a definitely un-romantic mood. I struggled with the grade for this book, wavering between D+ and C-, and went higher because of the strength of the collection of characters, the setting, and the writing. I'd be curious to hear from other readers if the time line bothered them as much as it did me.
