text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Deep Waters" first appeared in the July/August 2000 issue of Touchstone. Deep Waters God of the Depths by Richard Kew When my seminary contemporary, Michael Howard, said in his family Christmas letter that 1999 had seen the publication of his book God of the Depths, I decided that it was something I wanted to get hold of and to read. I am so glad that I did, because it is a book that has edified me enormously. Not long, 132 pages, it is well-written, pastoral, and above all, thoroughly theological. In his foreword, Bishop Michael Marshall writes, "In an age when spirituality is the buzz word and is frequently marketed as the 'feel good factor' inviting us to escape from the hard realities of a universe compiled of conflicting and dark forces, here is a timely book in the midst of millennium hysteria that encourages a journey into God, inevitably involving a passage through the deep waters of our human crises." Having read those words of endorsement of one old friend's work by another, I plunged in with deepening interest. Michael Howard is someone I haven't seen for years. We talk on the phone occasionally and have kept in touch through writing. He was in the same class as me at seminary, a large, enthusiastic, intelligent man, with a love for fine music (especially Haydn), good literature, and geology—his discipline before heading off into the ordained life. All these interests, and others, are to be found in God of the Depths, used by him to interpret, in a mature and carefully reflective manner, the ways in which our humanness encounters the dark places. Bishop Marshall also says in his foreword that Canon Howard introduces us to a multidimensional understanding of Christian discipleship "based not on the idolatry of slick certainties, but rather on a living faith, which is prepared to go through the deep waters of life with its problems, crises and challenges," which is right on the button. The man who wrote this book is also prone to episodes of depression, which means the depths that he is seeking to understand have an inner component that makes them regular companions on his own journey. Like so many clergy, I tend toward the depressive end of the spectrum myself, so I was eager to get into the book and see if he could help me get a better grasp of myself through thoughtful theological reflection on similar personal realities. I did not realize it at the time, but when I read Howard's book, I was about to tumble into a period of inner turmoil, heart-searching, and despair. In the midst of all this, my mother died very suddenly and unexpectedly. Notions that this short book opened up have helped me maintain a modicum of equilibrium through disorienting times. Over the last few years, Michael Howard, who pastors a small parish and is Bishop's Officer for Mission, Ecumenism, and Parish Development in the Diocese of Rochester, England, has been involved with the churches in Estonia as they have emerged from what he calls "the Soviet deluge." In his opening chapter he retells the story of the sinking of the Estline ferry, the Estonia, as it sailed with 989 people on board across the Gulf of Finland from Tallinn to Stockholm in September 1994, and the impact this disaster had upon Estonia and Sweden. This image of the depths breaking in upon the lives of hundreds of people, taking all but 137 of them, lingers in the background throughout the book, although its presence is more covert than overt. This is Howard's way of introducing us to the Hebrew perception of the sea, a perception that he then begins to unpack and interpret within its biblical context. He draws forth the manner in which biblical imagery speaks to the human condition and the topsy-turvy circumstances that have a habit of overwhelming our lives. He makes the point that the Scriptures, far from encouraging a gnostic avoidance of "the Deep," beckon us on to discover how to walk with God and chart a way through the depths. "The implication is that chaos, emptiness and darkness are intimately linked in human experience with what we have identified as the depths. They are 'non-being' out of which, in God's hands, things 'become'" (page 31). This book was written by a man who has immersed himself for much of his adult life in the message of the Scriptures and who, through them, has asked God the searching questions that come with the human experience, intensified by the call to pastoral ministry. As you read, you can hear him preaching, teaching, and counseling members of his congregation. As I read this book, I could see the full fruit of perceptions that had their beginning in his mind in the same classes and conversations we experienced together as seminarians in the 1960s. Living as we do in a culture that has turned avoidance into an art form, I found myself being graciously challenged as I was asked to face up to the Deep and its consequences within my life. "If we are willing to live 'on the edge,' to accept challenges, to honestly face the murky deep within our innermost souls, we shall grow in character and maturity. Our lives will bear fruit and we may find God at the heart of all the upheaval" (page 45). Yes, life is punctuated, sometimes frequently, by chaotic waters, barren deserts, and periods of deep darkness, but far from characterizing them as disasters, Howard encourages us to see them as places of discovery and moments of adventure as we journey along with "the three-mile-an-hour God." Woven through the book are references by Howard to his own struggles with depression and the concomitant sense of worthlessness that all depressives know so well. Yet this is neither glorified nor dwelt upon, but is used with an integrity that adds immediacy to what he is saying—it accentuates the fact that, to the writer, this is not merely theory and nice theological ideas. It is as he relates all this to the significance of the Cross that I found him most connecting with me and my own experiences. He talks about the manner in which the crucified God ministers to spirits in hell, that divine absence that seems to accompany being in the depths, and how by his crucifixion Jesus accompanied us into the depths that they might be redeemed. The risen-again-God delivers us through the wounds inflicted, and this message of redemption is not just for us as individuals, but for all people. Howard talks of the way in which the depths are there within the Church. Drawing upon the insights of Walter Wink, there is, he writes, a pernicious Domination System deeply embedded within every facet of human culture. The constant presence of "principalities and powers" is systemic to being human—it is integrally tangled with sarx, that fleshly part of us. Its siren call is insidious, romancing us through the television screen, in the office, and in the classroom, as well as in the life of the Church. This poison of fallenness is perpetuated in every human being and institution across the generations. "No one grows up unscathed. Most end up as casualties of the 'System,' damaged in health and scarred in personal relationships" (page 109). Let me add a caveat at this point. While I appreciate the manner in which Howard brings out the implication of Wink's insight that powers of darkness affix themselves "to the elements and structures of the world and to human personalities as social and political beings" (Stephen Noll, Angels of Light, Powers of Darkness [Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, 1998], p. 25), he does at times tend to unnecessarily depersonalize them. While Wink does well to draw our attention to the constant presence of the depths, certain of his theological presuppositions are, to my mind at least, inadequate. Darkness is not just a vague entity, it has a personal nature that seeks to dominate and rule the world and every facet of its life. We do ourselves a disservice if we ignore the presence of the Domination System in the life of the Church, where it is incarnated in a number of ways. Michael Howard warns of just some of the ways we stumble into the grasp of principalities and powers without necessarily being aware of it. Of course, there are plenty of other ways that the depths can envelop the people of God. The book concludes by encouraging us to embrace the depths, and in the process to be found afresh by Christ as part of a lifelong and ongoing process. Its author challenges us to step back from feel-good vacuousness and to wrestle with often-ignored realities. God of the Depths is immensely satisfying reading, not always comfortable to the sensitive soul, but graciously edifying. It is a book that enables us to interpret and live with life's realities within the ambit of the sovereign God. Much of what passes for theology today, alas, is anthropology and psychology with a lick or two of God talk—this book is definitely not that. This is a pastor and human being attempting to understand the vicissitudes of life through the manner in which God has revealed himself to us. There are no cheap answers, and neither is there anything trite in his grappling with reality and Scripture. As he writes, Michael Howard shows us how we can use the written word to make sense of our life as it is lived. I found his exposition both faithful and creative, and came away from reading the book with a fresh wonder at and respect for the Scriptures. This is a book, too, that transcends party and personal Christian preference, much as the writings of Henri Nouwen and Eugene Peterson do—and like both of them, Howard is a gifted writer. What are its shortcomings? I suppose there are shortcomings, but I didn't find them—maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. I came to this book curious to see what was making a friend from my distant past tick these days, and came away from it immensely enriched, gratified, and challenged. I hope this is not the last piece of writing that Michael Howard does. There are a host of themes in God of the Depths that I would love to see him open up and pursue. Meanwhile, I am grateful that a new year and a new century began for me in the company of someone who was a companion of my youth.

Food processors are great for a lot of applications, and making almond butter is certainly one of them. It's best to work in small batches, utilizing the feed tube on the processor. Grind the almonds until they start to come together a little, then drizzle in a couple of tablespoons of oil with the processor still running. Stop the machine to scrape the sides down occasionally, and just process until the butter is the consistency you want.
If you want a really smooth almond butter, you can add a small amount of extra oil, just a few drops at a time. Otherwise, it will be too oily.

Connealy will continue to teach at ACC while serving in his new role. He became the Cedar Park fire chief in 2004 and was previously chief of the Houston Fire Department. He teaches ACC's Fire Administration I (FIRT 1309), an introductory course in the Fire Protection Technology Program.
Butch Miller, chair of ACC's Fire Protection Technology Program, says having the state fire marshal as an instructor will benefit students.
"Learning from the state fire marshal allows future professionals the opportunity to have enhanced knowledge and insight into the processes for developing and implementing fire prevention and protection strategies," says Miller.
Connealy holds a bachelor's degree in fire administration and a master's degree in executive fire service leadership. As state fire marshal, Connealy will lead the State Fire Marshal's Office, which works with communities to reduce loss of life and property from fires. He also will serve on TDI's executive management team.

Electronics For Imaging Management Presents At Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference (Transcript)
So our position there is really about building more and more subtle valuation that's in server and drive software options that have endorsed factor in that server. Turning to the inkjet segment, there the competition is a bit more open, the three main competitors are ESI, HP and Doors, Doors is a private company in Europe. About 20 to 25% market share for each player and then there are other players, (inaudible) is another one but a smaller market share. I think the penetration into the digital world is really where we're focusing on really trying to move from analog to digital and therefore the analog world is what we're trying to replace at this point in time.
And then finally in the approximately business, in the software business, ERP tailored for activities of printing. We are very unique. It's a very fragmented market, commercial printers or production printers and have a lot of homegrown type of software and or local vendor. EFI is the number one market share in the US, everything else is very fragmented and small vendors. The smaller or the number two vendor in that category would be less than $10 million.
Unidentified Analyst
The skeptics would say paper demand is down 23-25% in the US over the last few years. Why should we invest in a printing company? How would you address that issue? Unidentified Company Representative So I think you're right. Pages are coming down and commodity printing type of page you have, emails printing etcetera is going down but there are activities of printing that will never disappear. Printing a label on a bowl, printing on a ceramic, having a need for people who will always have printing as a professional activity and need of software to move their business into the 21st century. All of that will continue to grow. So while overall printing maybe secular decline you've heard it from HP. The activity that are more industrially focused or high end type of printing activity will not go away and continue to grow quite fast. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Global Mobile Perspectives: Brazil
Thursday, January 27, 2011 | 10:00 AM
Labels: AdMob
Last week, we shared in the regional breakdown for the 2 billion daily ad requests on the AdMob network. As shown in the data, the rapid growth that we highlighted is not restricted to any one country or market. Throughout this quarter, we'll be posting perspectives from different markets to learn about unique country trends, challenges and opportunities in mobile.
This week we have a guest post from Peter Fernandez, who leads mobile advertising partnerships for Latin America across the Google Mobile Ads and AdMob products, on his perspective on the latest mobile trends in Brazil.
Brazil has one of the largest populations of mobile phone users in the world and last year we saw a significant increase in the number of Brazilians accessing the Internet on these devices. This is likely driven by operator investments in infrastructure and significant price drops in mobile data prices, including pre-paid services. For the first time, operators have seen revenue from data plans exceed revenue from messaging services. Given that less than a quarter of Brazilian households have fixed broadband access, mobile is poised to become an important Internet access point in the future.
What are these millions of Brazilians doing when they connect to the mobile Internet? In just the past year Google mobile search traffic in Brazil has increased over 500%, whereas Google mobile search traffic has grown over 5x globally in the last two years. Similarly, we've seen an 1251% increase in ad requests on our AdMob display network in the last year. The usage is not restricted by device types either. The majority of Brazil's mobile subscribers own feature (WAP) phones, and a lot of the growth we're seeing is coming from these devices. However, high end devices such as those running the Android and iOS operating systems are growing quickly as well in terms of both ad requests and unique users.
As more Brazilian consumers spend more time on their mobile devices, advertisers need to think about how they should tailor their marketing to reach this growing mobile audience. Today, advertisers can reach millions of users in Brazil who are searching on Google from their mobile devices. To connect with these consumers, there are three things that advertisers should focus on when going mobile:
- Create separate mobile campaigns. The first step to reaching mobile users is to separate mobile ad campaigns from desktop campaigns - globally we've seen that these campaigns perform better because advertisers have more control over their bids and budgets and can make better use of mobile-specific ad features.
- Optimize landing page experience. Advertisers need to be sure that their landing pages are optimized for mobile. They can do this by either creating a new mobile landing page or making sure their desktop pages render well on the mobile screen.
- Don't forget about feature (WAP) phones. Much of the growth in 2010 came from mobile users who are searching on feature phones. Be sure that you are reaching these users by creating WAP mobile search ads for your mobile campaigns.

4 The BlufatherShaiya | 01/11/2008 | See all Shaiya's reviews (9)I was really looking forward to the Blu-ray release of the Godfather films. Unfortunately, picture quality is not noticeably better than a standard DVD and is grainy in a lot of scenes. If you already own the Coppola Restoration on DVD, I wouldn't recommend upgrading to Blu-ray if you think it will have superior picture quality. You may end up disappointed like me. The films are of course fantastic and under normal circumstances, this would get the five stars, but I'm going to minus one for the disappointing picture quality.
1 Godfather Part II Disc Problemsmoothdan | 30/10/2009 | See all smoothdan's reviews (1)Unfortunately there is an error with the Godfather Part II disc which causes it to jump/skip. I have looked it up on the Internet and this appears to be a common problem with the set (a bad batch apparantly have been produced). Play were superb with dealing with the refund though.
5 An essental purchase for a fan with a blu ray playerKAV2007 | 16/02/2009 | See all KAV2007's reviews (113)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer First, the movies are excellent... The only gripe i had throughout the years of owning it on dvd was the picuture quality and as part 2 was so long, you would have to load the 2nd disc half way through.Having now got this version on blu, i was amazed at how they have restorted this movie.Ok, it is not going to be demo material, but the picture now to what it was previously is amazing. The original source material was badly damaged or even lost in some places and a lot of money went into what was done to restore it.The extras are also great, with 90% in blu ray, also on a seperate disc, so this is a 4 disc box set. In one of the segments, it shows how they actually restored the picture frame by frame, was very interesting and will show you how bad the picture used to be.If you love the movies then this is really an essential purchase. I am very pleased with this and feel i can now watch the trilogy in how it was supposed to have been presented to us.Hope this review helps.
3 error in disc 2?chenzhen | 12/11/2009 | See all chenzhen's reviews (1)does anyone have the same problem with the godfather 2???? it freezes/skip/jump approximately in the middle (1h 41min?)
3 Excellent package.. but not for Greeks..Pappablade | 03/04/2009 | See all Pappablade's reviews (1)The quality is good the sound is even better.. about the films.. one word...classic.The problem for the greek buyer is this..if you look here in play.com about the trilogy it says clearly that it has greek subtitles..Ok now listen this:None of the three films has subtitles except the fourth disc with the extras!!!!The choice is your's...

I love when form meets function, and this is rocker is a perfect example. Brendan Gallagher, a Canadian design student from Edmonton, has masterminded this impeccable rocking chair. Aptly named Rocker No. 1, made of walnut which in itself is a beautiful wood with great variation, wire mesh, and simple upholstery. It rivals some of the great chairs which revolutionized mid century furniture. His inspiration was taken from another Canadian company, Bustle Clothing (in which I own many a blazer), and their use of simple styling, patterns, and clean modern looks. Although simple in its design it holds a lot of visual interest and definitely made a name for Brendan Gallagher. We are looking forward to more amazing designs to come from Brendan.

Brother MFC-J6910DW review
35ppm print speed, USB, 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11n wireless, 331x540x489mm
This hulking inkjet multifunction peripheral (MFP) is one of the most versatile printers we've reviewed. Its size arises from the fact that it can handle paper sizes up to A3, but its talents don't end there. This range-topping model can automatically print, scan and copy both sides of each sheet of paper, although duplex scans and copies are limited to an A4 maximum. There's also a fax machine with support for superfine (200x400dpi) resolution.
We've criticised the appearance of Brother's A4 inkjet MFPs before, but although the MFC-J6910DW shares a similar squat design, it seems to work much better when scaled up to this size. There are two 250-sheet paper trays that will each take a range of paper sizes, although telescoping them out to accept A3 paper leaves them protruding from the front by around six inches, increasing the already considerable desk space needed. The automatic document feeder (ADF) holds up to 35 pages, and folds neatly shut when not in use.
Although most of the MFC-J6910DW's print jobs will come over the network, which it can connect to over Ethernet or via a built-in wireless interface, most faxes and copies are likely to be made via the machine's front panel. This contains a mix of buttons and a large touchscreen and is generally easy to navigate, although advanced settings such as duplex copying are hidden away somewhat. There's also a card reader for direct photo printing, but while this may prove useful, this isn't a great photo printer.
In fact, we weren't overly impressed with any aspect of this MFP's print quality. Photos are acceptable for a business machine, but the colours in some looked a little drab, and blue skies in particular revealed obvious grain. Colour prints on plain paper appeared faint, with solid fills having a granular appearance. Most significantly, black text didn't have the sharp, definite outlines typical of a laser printer, which could leave business mailings looking a little amateurish. Still, although photos were slow, all prints on plain paper were fairly rapid.
Fortunately, scan quality was much more encouraging. Colours were accurate and captures were unusually sharp and detailed for a business-oriented device. Some detail was lost from the lightest and darkest areas, but overall the results were more than good enough for general-purpose and light creative use. Copies were also much better than average for an inkjet MFP, with quite accurate colours and far less darkening than we saw in mono copies from the Brother DCP-J715W reviewed in Labs, issue 276.
Aside from its sheer versatility, this MFP's strongest suit is its running costs. These are lower for both colour and black prints than any of the laser printers we've seen recently. Its print quality is disappointing, but if that's not a priority and you need a do-everything A3 workhorse in the office, this is a good choice.

Growing up, I remember my Grandma spending what seemed like months in her basement kitchen canning everything she had grown in her backyard garden. She stored it all on long wooden shelves in a cold, dark cellar and used it to prepare huge Sunday suppers for 15 or more all year long. I miss those Sunday dinners and my grandma. I wish I had taken the opportunity to learn to can way back then. Instead I let years pass intimidated by what seemed to be an overwhelming process.
I finally got brave last summer after picking over 5 lbs of strawberries. I knew we couldn't eat them all and I really wanted to make freezer jam. It was time to give canning a try…and you know what…it's really not that hard. Since then I've canned strawberry freezer jam, over 100 quarts of spaghetti sauce, peaches, pomegranate jam and lots of salsa. If you don't have a garden, don't worry. Local farmers are a great resource. I can usually get 25 lbs of tomatoes with 24 hours notice at a great price. Pick your own farms are really fun too and a great way to get the family involved.
If you don't want to jump right into the boiling water canning method, check out my recipe for Strawberry Freezer Jam here. If you're ready to go all out, start planning and join us for National Can-It-Forward Day sponsored by Ball brand canning. On August 17, Food Network star Ted Allen will be live on www.FreshPreserving.com demoing his favorite canning recipes for viewers. You can join the conversation on Twitter and Facebook all day August 17 using the hashtag #canitforward.
Ball has put together an amazing giveaway to help one lucky reader start stocking their shelves with fresh, canned goods. The giveaway includes:
- The Ball Canning Discovery Kit – A kit designed to demystify the home canning process and make fresh preserving accessible for even the most novice canner.
- The Ball Blue Book Guide To Preserving – It's loaded with recipes and easy to follow directions for a variety of canning methods.
- One coupon for a free case of Ball brand canning jars.
I used my kit and my FreshTECH Automatic Jam and Jelly Maker to make these delicious peach and pomegranate jams. It is insanely easy and takes about 25 minutes from start to finish to have a freezer full of jam. I'll be sharing the recipes here on August 17 so be sure to check back. In the meantime, enter to win this fabulous Ball prize pack and get ready to #canitforward.
Let's all learn to can because this tastes so much better than store bought jam!

TALENT, Ore. — Fire agencies all over Southern Oregon are on high alert today, saying drought conditions make the holiday even more unpredictable.
Fire District Five says it has a game plan for the holiday, and it will also have extra staff on duty all day and night. Officials also say they will have staff ready to take calls, and extra personnel doing patrols. Something, officials say, will help them be prepared to jump into action at any time.
Jimmy Johnson, a fire fighter with Fire District Five, explains, "If we had a grass fire right now we have a grass rig along with our structure rig. Depending on where it's at in the county, we'll have our water tankers that go with us too so we have a pretty go response to that and so we respond quickly with quite a few resources."
District Five is not alone. Most departments will have extra staff ready to respond to calls all day today.

The Dokken 'Broken Bones' EPK Is Here
The other day, Frontiers Records released the electronic press kit (EPK) for Dokken's new album Broken Bones. The clip has Don Dokken explaining why he chose the phrase "broken bones" as the album's title and also features song excepts. In my opinion, this electronic press kit does the band well. Broken Bones sounds like it has great production. The album comes out September 25.
Reader Comments (7)
I stand by my previous comments about Dokken and Eddie Money . . . but this is taking mood lighting (or lack thereof) and soft focus to another level! It looks like a heavy metal version of Elizabeth Taylor's "White Diamonds" commercials.
September 13, 2012 |
He needs all the help he can get until he gets the real help he needs to gain his voice and even more importantly, his health, back.
p.s. Great analogy, HIM.

I'm more excited about T&N...
September 13, 2012 |
This sounds pretty good unfortunately I think it may be a lot of studio tricks and he won't sound near as good live. T&N just bores me thinking about it. The "originality" of the name fits the material. Re-hashing the stuff one more time. Don;t care who is singing it, just seems weak. Wish they would just concentrate on new material.
September 13, 2012 |
scott whitt
I've been a Dokken fan from the beginning. I will buy this, but my days of going to see them live are over.
September 13, 2012 |
So, true, Scott! Why is it a genius like Lynch would go with a name like T&N? Surely Talents like he and Pillson could come up with something better!
September 13, 2012 |
Hey, Jeff! You stole my post. 100% agree.

Developer Reveals Prey 2′s Radical Departure From the Original
Posted on October 11, 2011 AT 01:03pm
THE BUZZ: Most sequels take the faster path to fame, opting for a bigger, better, more explosive version of the original concoction, but Bethesda's Prey 2 takes a slightly different approach, drastically tweaking the familiar formula toward something that's more Mirror's Edge than Prey—but despite rumors to the contrary, EGMi: The Digital Magazine's recent discussion with project lead Chris Rhinehart revealed that this was the team's plan from the get-go.
As he tells it, "some people had surmised that we were working on a completely different game and then slapped Prey 2 on it. That's not at all what happened. When we first met with Bethesda, from the get-go, it was what we wanted to do with Prey 2."
The Human Head co-founder went on to say that, more than anything else, the studio wanted to deliver something different in this stunning sequel—and for them, that meant breaking the mold.
"We didn't want to do more of the same. We didn't want to do a linear shooter," he explains. "One of the opportunities we had was to explore more of the Prey universe. You play through the first game, and you blow up the entire ship, and that whole space is gone. Right off the bat, we can't set the sequel there. So, this was the opportunity to go and explore other parts of the Prey universe."
It was this desire to do something markedly different that led to some wild ideas from the dev team, and according to Rhinehart, Prey 2's current vision continued to grow from there.
"It all just kind of started building on itself," he explains. "We want to take the player to a new space. We wanted to give the player something new and something different to experience, and that was a really big thing with Prey. We took the player to a space they really hadn't seen before, gave them gameplay there, and we wanted to do that again with the sequel."
Last but not least, Rhinehart says it's about more than a desire to make use of an open world and parkour elements to deliver a new gameplay gimmick—Human Head wants to fundamentally change your role in the sequel: "Another thing we really wanted to do was explore the predator/prey relationship. In Prey, you're the hunted. In Prey 2, you get to be the hunter, and that's where the idea of a bounty hunter came from—and everything else just builds upon those core ideas."
EGM'S TAKE: The original Prey went out of its way to challenge gamers to see their world in novel ways, but Prey 2's focus on vertical gameplay and a host of futuristic gadgets has us even more amped for the sequel than we ever were for the original.
Set for a 2012 release, Prey 2 is still a ways off, but Chris was kind enough to give us a ton of new details in the full interview, so be sure to download the latest issue of EGMi: The Digital Magazine for even more juicy tidbits!

The first time I tried aglio e olio I was a bit disappointed. I usually love Italian dishes, but this one didn't have much cheese. For some reason I always thought Italian food and layers of cheese always went together.
I have been known to use way more than the amount of cheese a recipe calls for, so this was the main reason I didn't care for it so much.
Since I love to cook and create my own dishes, I could see how this would be awesome with more cheese added to the recipe. A little bit of Parmesan cheese sprinkled in is just never enough.
My pasta con aglio e olio recipe is not very traditional, but it suits my taste. I still use the traditional olive oil and garlic, but just like to spice it up a little bit.
I have also added shrimp to this recipe when I want something different and that goes over well with my husband too.

How Novak Djokovic cheated death
PARIS -- When it was time to win the match, Novak Djokovic needed just one chance, and it was over.
When he is closest to losing, Djokovic seems to remind himself that deep in his heart, he does not believe that he can be killed on a tennis court, cannot be beaten, will not yield the final point. Until the end, when he could no longer sustain the fight, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, weary and honorable, had played his best, most inspired tennis, even better than when he shocked Roger Federer at Wimbledon nearly a year ago. When the inevitable became mounting fact in a doomed fifth set, Tsonga said he thought to himself it was a "joke" that he was to lose this match, for he had done virtually everything required to win. The fans took the journey, shared his confidence and so desperately they wanted to erupt -- for themselves and for him, and it was a towering Djokovic, raising a fist high each time he had beaten elimination, who simply would not let them.
Four times Tsonga was a point from taking everything from the history-driven Djokovic -- his French Open title hopes and the honor of becoming the first player to hold all four Grand Slams since Rod Laver in 1969. Tsonga had the chance to become a first-time French Open semifinalist, to become the first Frenchman to win at Roland Garros since Yannick Noah in 1983.
Four times Djokovic staved off elimination, including an epic service game at 4-5, 15-40 when he faced double-match point but ended with him staring at his box, again unbroken.
"There really isn't any rational explanation or a word that can describe what you're supposed to do when you're match points down or when you're losing or very close to losing," Djokovic said, who has now won 26 consecutive Grand Slam matches. "It's trying to be mentally tough and believing in your shots. So, I don't want to be wise now and say, 'OK, I know how to play when I'm match points down,' because I said, there's no explanation."
Yet at the baseline, after ripping an uncontested backhand down the line on match point that gave him a pulsating 6-1, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6, 6-1 victory, Djokovic roared majestically, a sound and image that has become commonplace now that he is a master at cheating death. He walked to his chair, thumping his heart with his right fist, a gesture that has lost virtually all of its power in sports -- baseball players do it after a worthless base hit in a 10-1 game -- but Djokovic, over the past year, and especially of this tournament, has returned its authenticity.
Tuesday at Roland Garros was an evening of incredible shot-making and power tennis, both on Court Philippe Chatrier and on Court Suzanne Lenglen, where Roger Federer was down two sets to Juan Martin del Potro. With Djokovic and Federer nearing defeat only to respond with rousing rebounds, the universe may have been better for the drama, but in the end, the best players won. Two of the big four are in the semifinals with Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray playing Wednesday. Both of the titans were pushed, and yes, the two will play each other Thursday in the semifinals, a rematch of last year, when Federer ended Djokovic's 43-match win streak.
Federer is the last man to silence Djokovic in a major and the one who indirectly created his air of invincibility. It was Federer who famously served to oust Djokovic from the U.S. Open in the deciding fifth set last year. Djokovic not only erased the first match point on a blistering crosscourt return that Federer or tennis fans will never forget, but once he evened matters, he also never allowed Federer to sniff victory again.
Tsonga did not lose the match as much as Djokovic refused to let him have it. Tsonga played tentatively and scared in the first set, losing 6-1 in about 30 minutes. Just when it appeared he would become a stick figure in the Djokovic drama, Tsonga seized the moment, becoming, as Djokovic called him days ago, a "big-match, big-stage player."
Down 2-0 in the second set, Tsonga fought and played with desperation and heart, powering serves and placing Djokovic on the defensive. The two played like heavyweights, trading crushing forehands that produced waves of breathlessness from the crowd and expectant gasps that nearly interfered with the punishing rallies. With Djokovic, the point never ends. His defense and return of serve again reminded anyone that there is still no better performer in the business.
Tsonga could not match Djokovic's technical precision, and his 61unforced errors ultimately cost him the match, yet he did not wilt. When Tsonga is distracted, playing down to his competition or lacking belief, he will initiate a change in the point with slices or drop shots. He will roll his backhand tentatively instead of launching into it with his 220-pound frame. Usually, such flights from concentration cost him. His drop shots are weak and artless, hanging at the service line to be put away.
Against Djokovic, however, Tsonga fought hard on both wings and proved once more that he has major material. He did not blink against the moment or against the formidable pressure from Djokovic.
Throughout the match, it became clear that Tsonga was playing inspired, championship-level tennis. The crowd at Chatrier grew more ambitious and emboldened, sensing that something special, something historic and personal was occurring, made even more thrilling when an ominous, steady rain threatened the saga. Tsonga was theirs, and he was going to carry them. They sang for him and hurt for him. When the match ended, fans waited for him, gave him a standing ovation as he sat with a towel over his head and Djokovic stood nearby.
On Sunday, Djokovic came back from two sets down to defeat Andreas Seppi, but Seppi is not a player of Tsonga's caliber. Djokovic's ability to summon the focus and execution as the pressure increases only adds to his formidable aura.
"Well, I'm disappointed," Tsonga said. "I'm disappointed, but now it's over. I can't play the match again, so I'm eliminated. It's a bit of a shame because I was pretty close. I'm not going to regret many things in that match. I gave everything I had. I fought as much as I could. Unfortunately, at the end I had no energy left in my legs. That's it. That's the way it is. It is the worst defeat of my career."
That is the way it is with Djokovic, who always seems to have one more shot than the other guy, one more step in his legs, one more beat in his heart, one more way to quiet the crowd. It is a champion's will; it is not an illusion or hyperbole. He is the proof. He is the one still standing.

The county, however, argued that an SEIS would delay base development for at least four years, not eighteen months. In addition to securing federal approval, the county must submit to state review, a process that is already well underway -- based on the original EIS. But if the federal government orders a supplemental study, the state can't legally use the first one either, county officials said. So the county would have to wait for the SEIS, then submit those results to Tallahassee and begin the state process anew. That review, they said, would take another two years.
Says one source involved in the discussion: "That's what is causing the feds heartburn right now. They were taken aback that everything could not go forward in tandem." Although the political implications of the pending SEIS decision were not discussed, this participant notes that if redevelopment of the base were put off for four years, it could have serious consequences in the year 2000 for both Vice President Al Gore, who will be running for president, and for Alex Penelas, who would be up for re-election. "If nothing is happening at that base," the source predicts, "then both Penelas and Gore are going to have a hard time winning votes down there."
Penelas and Graham are pressing McGinty and the air force to allow some form of limited development while further environmental review takes place, according to several sources. "I think they are going to find a way to allow something to happen out there," a county official asserts. One possibility being discussed would permit limited rebuilding of the air base's hurricane-damaged terminals, as well as a restricted number of commercial flights. They might also allow HABDI to proceed with plans for the construction of nonaviation structures such as office buildings to attract "high-tech industry to the area," according to the county official.
Not everyone is thrilled that these discussions are being held secretly. County Commissioner Katy Sorenson is angry that she had to learn about the meetings from a reporter and notes that neither she nor Commissioner Dennis Moss were asked to participate. "It's very odd that the elected commissioners who represent South Dade have not been invited to meetings on one of the most critical issues this county is facing," she says. "Who developed the guest list? Were they afraid we might be party poopers?" (County staffers claim the guest list was put together by Graham's office. A spokeswoman for Graham denies it.)
Last week a coalition of environmental groups wrote President Clinton requesting that the federal government move forward with a supplemental study. "On the eve of the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration of the establishment of Everglades National Park, we urge you to make a decision that will protect Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary, and the entire South Florida region," the December 1 letter stated. Among those signing the letter were Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club; John Adams, executive director of the Natural Resources Defense Council; Ronald Tipton of the World Wildlife Fund; Stuart Strahl of the National Audubon Society; and Joette Lorion of Friends of the Everglades.
"An SEIS that takes the necessary hard look at the environmental impacts of the developers' proposed international 'hub' airport with two runways is a necessary predicate to making a decision that will impact the greater Everglades ecosystem for generations to come," the letter continued. "Taking this hard look now, before construction or operation of a commercial airport is phased in, is critical to ensuring that the right decision is made. If a commercial airport is allowed to proceed at Homestead, we believe a second runway is likely to become an inevitability for safety reasons, to meet predicted aviation demand, and to make the airport economically feasible."
The environmentalists also asked the White House to consider other options for rebuilding South Dade's economy. "It is not a question that South Dade needs economic redevelopment in the wake of Hurricane Andrew," the groups wrote. "The real question is what type of redevelopment project at Homestead Air Reserve Base will bring maximum prosperity to the region, what type of redevelopment will bring the highest-paying, most-skilled jobs, what type of redevelopment will best promote the long-term protection of the nearby national parks, which make South Florida such a desirable place to live and visit."
In a pointed jab at HABDI, the environmentalists added: "Certainly some people stand to gain from construction of an airport at Homestead, but those who stand to gain the most are not necessarily the people of Homestead."
Finally the environmentalists questioned whether Homestead is really the best location for a reliever airport for Miami International, and they urged the president to study other possible sites, including Opa-locka: "We believe that the only way to adequately determine where to site Dade County's next large commercial airport -- and for the federal government to satisfy its legal obligations -- is to conduct a comprehensive regional aviation services study."
Homestead Mayor Shiver rejects the environmentalists' suggestions. "Personally," he says, "I'd like to see the base conveyed with no restrictions whatsoever."
