I'm sitting here in absolute amazement. This:
is "Fettucine Alfredo" and it is out of this world. I actually licked my bowl (something I would never publicly admit to unless something is so amazing you should drop everything you are doing and make this).
Part of my amazement is from the sauce. I'd like to know who sat around and thought, "I bet if I mix some cashews with water, lemon, and garlic it will taste EXACTLY like homemade alfredo sauce." Ridiculous. That person was obviously a wizard.
My youngest was overjoyed that we were having spaghetti last night. She had no idea that the 'spaghetti' noodles were zucchini. I'm not about to tell her. She sat at the table talking about how much she does not like vegetables for a good 15 minutes while she chomped away at her dinner.
My husband chuckled that there is not one 'bad' thing in this dish, and there really isn't. Not only that, for all of my Whole30 readers, THIS is whole30 compliant (I left out the pine nuts because I did not have any on hand). Not only is there nothing 'bad', but he was also amazed at how great it tastes.
Looking for dinner tonight? Here is the recipe on Against All Grain (I used the recipe out of the book, which basically just has different vegetables and no basil. I added the Blackened Chicken that is noted in the book, since I was worried my youngest was going to turn her nose at this…she's been picky with vegetables lately).

Celtic Meet Famous Old Foes
Celtic fans will look forward to seeing their favouries play Inter Milan again
Celtic will have the chance to beat Inter Milan again as they did back in 1967 when the sides meet in a pre-season as part of their 125th anniversary celebrations. The game to be played at Parkhead on 28 July will bring back memories for many of the European Cup final when Celtic became the first British side to lift the trophy. Many of the 'Lisbon Lions', will be invited back for the game and current manager Neil Lennon hailed the arrangement as 'magnificent' for the club.He said: "History is something to respect and to cherish and we are delighted therefore to be celebrating 125 years of Celtic in such a manner. The match will be a magnificent event where we welcome some top players to Glasgow and, of course, honour those who have played such an important role in Celtic's past. It is magnificent that Celtic is able to bring such a big name to Scottish football and I am sure this will be an occasion which our supporters, across many generations, will wish to experience."

1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 307 from North America
Wonderful car!!!
Normal wear items, except for headlight bulbs, which seem to need changing frequently.
General Comments:
I had an 85 Olds Supreme for 19 years, and it never left me stranded once. It had 235,000 miles on it, and still ran great except with the expected lessening in compression, which reduced power somewhat and increased gas consumption.
Before the wear, it had great power and got very good gas mileage for a car of its size. It also had a wonderful ride.
I only changed oil every 5K miles. And it had the best car seats I ever sat in.
Best car I ever owned!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

To paraphrase John Heskett, writing in Toothpicks and Logos, a designer is merely someone who takes account of his skills and applies them to imagining and realizing objects and contexts that didn't exist before.
A corollary of this line of thought might be that a designer is defined by means, rather than ends - by methods rather than products. There is art which is indubitably art, and design which unquestionably design, but in between there is a realm of grey: objects which are both art-like and design-like. And I, for one, don't think that this ambiguity is problematic.
Art, or objects displayed in an art-like manner, is interesting, because it is an ephemeral experience; in this case, I wonder how the "white cube" would benefit from a more traditional "product." Christian has identified the ability of art to provoke conversation and thought - contexts that didn't exist before - in a way that consumable artifacts might fall short.
There is something to be said for insular design (cf Boym partners) - it may not make it directly into the consumers' hands, but it provokes other creative types to think in new ways... Partition's message could have a viral impact.

The State Archives collects and stores historic sources and makes them available to the public.
Our Reading Rooms are open to all who wish to use the records, Parish Registers, census lists, financial accounts and other types of unique documents, registers and files.
Many of our visitors are looking for their ancestors, and others are interested in the history of their region or their home town. Still others are academic researchers or students who may be working on a historical research project or their theses.
The raw material - the records - originates from the Danish public authorities. The State Archives ensure that authorities arrange and transfer their records in a condition that renders them useful to future users of the archives - and not least, to the authorities themselves.
The State Archives is the collective name for the Danish National Business Archives, the Danish Data Archives, the Danish National Archives and the 3 provincial archives at Viborg, Aabenraa and Odense. The National Archivist is the Head of the National Archives and the Senior Manager of the State Archives.
Not everything can be stored. Thus, a major task of the Danish State Archives is to appraise what should be preserved and what may be disposed of. Specific rules and regulations issued by the State Archives specify what may be disposed of.
Normally, state records should be transferred before they are 30 years old. Local and county authorities, e.g. hospitals, upper secondary schools and old people's homes are not under an obligation to transfer their records but may do so if they pay for this service. The State Archives also accept records from a number of private organisations, institutions and individuals.
The State Archives provide a forum for an active interest in history. Each year, more than 180,000 bundles, registers, etc. are transferred from storage for use by visitors in the Reading Rooms. A lot of work goes into communicating and presenting the contents of these collections.
For some staff members, researching the records is part of their job. Local history, trading conditions, shipping and technology are just some of the research topics. The records are the key to all of this, and the findings are presented as scientific studies, articles in journals and publications, popular presentations in associations and societies as well as interviews, etc. on radio and television.

No one is saying the defense lost that game. They kept the Steelers in it all night. But for the past two seasons this defense has been unable to make splash plays and give the offense a short field. Against Baltimore with Ben out, the defense needed to make a splash play. Do you really expect Byron Leftwich to lead the offense down an 80+ yard field and score consistently? Do you expect Charlie Batch to do it against Cleveland? Being ranked high as far as yards and points is great and will give the Steelers a chance to win most of the time, but the Steelers aren't getting to the Super Bowl if the splash plays don't come more often.
Special teams also bears some blame in that regard as the return game is practically non-existent and the coverage is a joke.
If you told the 32 head coaches that their defense would only give up 3 points, every coach would take that in a heartbeat.
Sure, it does not 100% guarantee a win:
--rain might even the playing field
--some weird special teams fiasco occurs
--the offense gets shut out (0-3)
The other 97 times out of 100, 3 points wins the game.
Football is simple:
the team with the most
wins the game
. And, 3 points is the second lowest total that a defense can give up (zero being the least amount).
You "say" that you do not blame the defense, but then you turn right around and say that the defense should have given the offense a short field. WHY? The defense gave them something even better: a deficit of only 3 points. Any offense
be able to score more than 3 points... even a broken-ribbed led offense. Furthermore, Byron did not have to "consistently" lead his offense on 80 yard drives; he needed two FGs. You act like he had to overcome a three touchdown deficit. Again, he had to surpass 3 points... and again, even a broken-ribbed QB should have been able to score 6 points.
Regardless, even if the defense had produced a short field, what then??? Because, I remember Mike Wallace not dragging his toe on a TD (a TD that would have given the Steelers the win). So, short field or not, the offense did not come through (i.e. did not capitalize on red-zone opportunities).
Furthermore, if given an "either or" option, as opposed to a
shortened field
, I say that the offense would actually prefer to
only have to score more than 3 points
. As in, if we asked the offense:
Would you rather your average starting point for a drive be at the 35 yard line?
Would you rather the defense only allow 3 points (i.e. you only have to score 6 points)???
I think that all 32 offensive coordinators and/or head coaches would choose the latter.

Kale Chips = Awesome!
Just made kale chips for the first time, and I had to post about it, because they are so, so good!
I am always looking for new kale recipes, because kale is extremely good for you – it is chock full of:
- Lutein – known to prevent eye disease and protect against cancer
- Antioxidant flavonoids, which ward off heart disease and regulate blood pressure
- Calcium
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Vitamins A
- Vitamin C
- Dietary fiber
In other words, it's good stuff!
Now, I have read in several places that Kale Chips tastes exactly like chips. I was extremely skeptical of this, considering these so-called chips are made of, well, kale.
But, I determined to give it a try. Looking through several recipes, I came up with my own little version:
- Preheat oven to 325
- Rinse and dry the Kale
- Tear into uniform, 2-inch or so pieces – discard the thick stem
- Toss in a large bowl with 2 T olive oil, 2 cloves chopped garlic, salt to taste, and some chile flakes.
- Lay the leaves flat on a cookie sheet – make sure they don't overlap (I had to do 2 rounds).
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, until crispy
That's it! Super easy, super fast…and the best part?
They actually do taste like chips!!!
I really couldn't believe how good these things are – I think this is my new favorite snack (and remember, I am a picky veggie eater – you will love these even if you hate veggies!).
A few more other tips and tricks:
- Start off at 15 minutes – only go longer if the leaves are not yet crispy.
- Use real salt – but remember that a little goes a long way.
- Try it salt free! Try seasoning with different herbs or nutritional yeast for a Parmesan kind of flavor. I think I will add some balsamic vinegar next time – it goes really well with kale.
Now let me know if you try these, and how they turned out – and have fun!
18 Responses to "Kale Chips = Awesome!"
A twist on the kale chip – dehydrate them. Keeps them raw so they lose nothing but water.
I made mine with coconut milk (and some added coconut cream bc the milk I opened was too watery) and then a curry spice mix, garlic & onion powder, dried dill, and sea salt. Then I dehydrated them for about 6 hours. They were really crisp and totally raw! Yum! The salt & dill keeps you coming back for more while the coconut & curry satiates the fat craving from potato chips.
These are so good! I just tossed them with EVOO, salt, and nutritional yeast. Yum!
Yum, I have heard these are really good and have been meaning to make some. Ive just put Kale seeds out in the garden, so as soon as they are ready I will be making this. Thanks for sharing!
Christine @ African Babies Don't Cry recently posted..Best DIY, How To and Recipe Posts of the Natural Parents Network Volunteers -
I made these in the past and liked them while I was eating them – but the after taste was too much for me. The ones I made were just EVOO and salt. Does the garlic help combat the "kale" flavor? I really need to find a way to like this nutritional powerhouse!

Once I get all these parts installed and a tune. What are some good match ups to try to line my car up with? I have a friend with a brand new stage 2 ss Camaro that wont race me, (admittedly a bad driver) another buddy has a 383 (unknown what other upgrades) ss Camaro 4th gen but hes deployed, I got a friend with an evo with 402 whp. Im pretty sure I can beat all these guys after my install. Any of you in the bay area that has a car that would give me a good run?

Local Gammon
We cure our own Gammon here in Crouch End using the best ingredients that we source from Blythburgh Free Range Pork in Suffolk. Their animals enjoy a very natural lifestyle and diet with very high welfare standards. As a result they produce a better taste and texture for the consumer. We also offer a smoked version. The joints are cold smoked for four to six hours. This allows the maple wood smoke to impart extra depth and richness.
Authentic Biltong
We produce our own authentic and delicious Biltong from a traditional South African recipe and technique using only the best Scottish Beef. We make our Biltong in a five day process of marinade, seasoning and air drying before packing - all done on our premises.

Our Beef is a premium quality range of Scottish beef that has enjoyed a traditional lifestyle and wholesome diet. These cattle are bred, raised and selected to produce the finest flavour. Our supplier is John Scott Meat a family business based in Paisley Scotland since 1968.
Free Range Chicken
We are supplied direct from Fosse Meadows Farm, situated near Lutterworth in Leicestershire a stones throw from the nature park to which the farm owes its name. It is a fourth generation farm producing real free-range chickens in the traditional way – producing the best birds for customers but using the highest welfare standards. These slow growing birds enjoy a wholesome additive free diet resulting in very tasty eating.
Slow Food London
As a butcher who specialises in offering the very best quality meat to our customers we are delighted to be approved by Slow Food London
We select the best suppliers so our customers can be confident that the meat they buy from us is not only good eating but comes from a traceable source where the animals have had a wholesome free range lifestyle, enjoyed high welfare standards and a natural diet.
Animals that are reared by non-intensive traditional farming methods and are truly free range (with lots of exercise) grow far more slowly as a result. This slow natural growth results in superior meat for your plate.

Shameless Self-Promo — So Sous Us!
by FN Dish Editor in View All Posts, January 13th, 2009
Yes, we work here but many of us are true fans as well. We watch the shows, try the recipes and live the life. Crazy…but true.
That said, one new FN show is seemingly creating even more buzz in the halls than usual. CHOPPED, hosted by Ted Allen, premieres tonight, triggering heightened chatter around our fancy, coffee maker-sized watercooler. Frantic sous chefs, insane time constraints, amazing food, flowing tears — all good.
Without giving it away, Rene Lynch (Daily Dish blog on the LA Times) summarized it best…
The format makes for one heck of a nail-biting experience, and it succeeds in placing the viewer in the shoes of the contestants. Who hasn't raced around their kitchen, staring at the mismatched ingredients in the cupboard, while the clock is ticking?
Ok — enough shamless promotion.
Tune in tonight and let us know what you think…
Watch the promo here.

I sat on the edge of my couch anxiously awaiting the 10 PM premiere of Chopped and ultimately held my position until the show ended. I loved the intensity – it fast moving and kept me wondering who was going to be "chopped" next. The lack of confidence the chef's portrayed when given the secret ingredients took me by surprise though. Perhaps, I'm just used to Iron Chef where even the most obscure ingredient doesn't rattle the chef's confidence. During the show I was rooting for Katie to win and almost broke out into tears with her when she was chopped. I'm looking forward to next week's episode…
Rene Lynch has it right! Work 'til 5, home at 5:30, open up the fridge to see what's there, cuz dinner's supposed to be on the table at 6.
"Ok, I've got sausage, broccoli and potatoes. Hmm, those mushrooms have been in there a few days; better use those too." It's too easy to make casserole; you try to be creative.
The cheftestants did great, Ted Allen too. Judges were critical w/out being mean – and I really appreciated that. Fun show, very entertaining. I'll be lookin' for it next week.
:-) -
What is the show about? The FoodNetwork website bills this as a "series that challenges four up-and-coming chefs to turn a selection of everyday ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal". Each round contains a mystery basket. The Chefs are challenged to use every ingredient in the basket… sounds interesting… yes it does. However, the Judge themselves cannot adhere to the rules set fourth and often allowed a Chef to pass to the next round that refused or failed to utilize each ingredient or who dropped food on the floor.
Below is not intended to be list of sins but rather an example:
Pippa Calland (Winner) Episode 2. In her dish the judges could not detect the mystery item, Thai chilies, and in the final round present a 'napoleon' (in name only) that was an unsightly mess upon the plate.
Chris Burke: Episode 3. Dropped chicken on the floor, served it, and moved to the next round. This is not only unsanitary but is unforgivable.
Mina Newman (Winner) Episode 8: In the second round, she could not create a single dish but rather present two dishes and moved to the next round.
William Lustberg: Episode 9. Refused to use one of the mystery items and moved to the next round.
These are but 4 instances out of 9 episodes.
The show has no integrity and if I were a Chef, losing would reflect better on my resume than winning.
If this show is based on taste, creativity, and presentation, then it would be CHOPPED!
I know that for me, it will not pass to the next round.-
Why do they have Ted and his overly dramatic bs as host and some of the critics seem to be introduced as entrepenuers or important but I don't see them cooking in public at least give aaron and alex props because they are working chefs.
C. McVey, I haven't seen every episode, but I believe I've seen the episodes to which you refer in your examples. And like you, I'm often surprised by who is "chopped" and who moves on. Basically, I like the show. Does it need some development? yeah.
*Rhetorically: would it be interesting if the chopped chef came as no surprise to the audience? Good TV does need a drama factor.
*Editing: a large part of the judges decision-making discussions are sitting on an editing room floor somewhere. It's evident to me that the audience does not hear *all* of the reasons one chef is chopped while another moves on.
Having said that, just my opinions and conjectures, I do agree that food served from the floor *must* be grounds for immediate disqualification, regardless of how that dish compared in taste or plating to the other chefs' offerings.Ted Allen, if you're reading this, your production company needs to hire C. McVey and me as consultants.
*giggling* -
How can a `chef` competing on Chopped also compete on Hell`s Kitchen wich is suppose to be amatures?

BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) — "If someone had said that was a bomb that dropped. i didn't know what it was. I never felt anything like that, ever," says Linda Glisson. What Linda Glisson felt was the power of Hurricane Gustav sending a tree through the home she's lived in with her husband for more than 30 years.
"This is the tree that uprooted and came all the way across our house into the next yard. it was this large, it took out everything you see across the front of our house, came through the roof, through the ceiling down to the floor, through the house," says her husband Mike Glisson. it almost took out Linda along with it, "I had my back to the wall, sitting on the floor with my back to the wall. All of a sudden this overwhelming crash. I didn't even know what happened."
Even though it's been three years, Linda remembers it like it was yesterday, "I was just traumatized. I couldn't even move." What she and her husband will also remember is the help they got from neighbors like Bill Cabellero, "We really didn't stand around and have a reaction. We just kinda started grabbing things and moving furniture and trying to get stuff to save it. It wasn't like we had time to say, oh gee, there's a tree."
Though they had to rebuild almost their entire house, they know it could have been so much worse, "Our daughter and son-in-law and grandbaby were gonna come be here for the storm...at the last minute they decided to stay at their home and it was such a blessing."

When I talk to family and friends outside of the technology business about what I do, I often get reactions like this, "I've never seen or used Linux. It's just used by technology geeks, right?" My reply? "I'll bet you a thousand dollars you've used Linux. You just haven't realized it." I then ask them the following:
One of our successful programs here at the Linux Foundation is also one of the least well known — at least in the United States. Three times a year, the Linux Foundation Japan office brings in leading Linux luminaries to present and interact with local senior software developers. The goal? To increase open source participation by talented Japanese developers. The result? Even though it's not an exact science, accepted patches from Japanese developers have been rising over the last years.

Dan Frye, IBM's VP of open systems development and an LF board member, suggested at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit that the Linux community should "just chill about v2 and v3." We agree.
While at first look, having software available under different licenses may sound complicated, it's actually not much different than the multitude of licenses that have always been available in both the open and closed source worlds. GPLv3 represents one more.
Here are the facts:
From the New York Times:
WHAT a difference 16 years makes. Last month, the technology world was abuzz over an interview in Fortune magazine in which Bradford Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, accused users and developers of various free software products of patent infringement and demanded royalties. Indeed, in recent years, Mr. Smith has argued that patents are essential to technological breakthroughs in software.
The first ever Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit ended on Friday. I spent today de-compressing and summing up the highlights and accomplishments in a news release that will go out tomorrow. By my estimation (and most I've talked to), the LF Collaboration Summit was a great success.
Here's the formula I used to make this determination: The right people + collaborating on the right projects +having a great time = success.
So I think you can all imagine that I don't have much time for blogging, given the time requirements that organizing the LF Summit require. But I just wanted to say that so far this inagural meeting has been AMAZING.
I've been working with open source companies for about six years now, and very closely with Linux for the past four, and I have never see such a diverse and accomplished group of people gathered together. At the summit, we have (in the words of one very well known journalist I won't name)
Last week Businessweek published an editorial we wrote responding to the Fortune article containing Microsoft's patent threats. The reaction has been overwhelming. Some of the best articles below:
Charlie Babcock's take on InfoWeek
Dana Blakenhorn says we're letting it fly on his blog on ZDNET.
It's been a hard week. First Bill Hilf, open source program manager at Microsoft (talk about a tough job), tells the world that "Linux doesn't exist in 2007″ and that Linus has a job. (For the Linux Foundation no less. Can't believe we didn't keep that a secret.)
Monday morning started out well — a continuation of the sunny day we had Sunday, a few hours to concentrate on my actual work — until the phone rang. Microsoft had unleashed a FUD storm with more vague patent threats. While a few articles have been published with Linux Foundation statements, I wanted to elaborate on our public comments so far.

Garnacha is our annual tribute to one of our favorite grapes, Grenache or Garnacha as they call it in Spain. The bright acidity and bold red cherry and strawberry flavors of Grenache makes such a complex stand alone yummy wine which is why we have chosen it for our only single varietal wine to date. Every year we save a few prime barrels for this special wine and it is always the first to sell out.
The 05 Garnacha is a compilation of the standout Denner Vineyard Grenache barrels. Our blocks at Denner are located on a steep south facing slope. After the intense season of rainfall following several years of fairly dry winters, these vines were invigorated! The fruit sets were amazing. Even with a 50% green harvest the yields far exceeded those of years past with no loss in depth or flavor.
Vinification of all the 05's took place at the brand new Denner winery. Grapes were hand sorted both pre and post de-stemming and then fell down into the fermentation boxes below (it's all gravity flow). The grapes were left alone to cold soak for 3 days after which a regimen of 3 punch downs per day was initiated. The wine was pressed at 3 brix to allow primary fermentation to finish in barrels.
Oak: 50% Neutral, 25% New French Terrensaud, Bel Aire and Seguin Moreau, 25% Hungarian Seguin Moreau and Budapesti Kadar
Appearance: Ruby red.
Nose: Strawberry, green tea, tobacco and vanilla spice along with aromas of cherry candy.
Palate: Medium bodied, lush black cherry and plum, medium tannins and bright acidity, luxuriously lingering finish. Drink now and for the next 5-7 years.

How sublime. I do dot usually play games, but this one captivated me with the sweet music and gentle touches. What I observed right away, was that it was not a combat type of game, (if the work game can be used so), but was gentle from the start. Being free, if you have no objections, I would like to post this link to my blog. Peace be with you, and to yours.

From May Day to Labor Day, GlobalPost explores the human cost of what's been called a "race to the bottom." The hyper-accelerated movement of capital, jobs and resources from the world's corporations — manufacturing, agriculture and service — to the lowest bidder. In an era of diminished expectations, broken promises and sleight of hand, these are labor stories of governments, employers, unions and workers.
The EU is moving away from saving lives, focusing instead on keeping newcomers out.
In December 2010 a raging fire tore through the Hamim Group garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Twenty-nine workers were killed, trapped without fire escapes or sprinklers, the doors allegedly locked from the outside to prevent theft. Several people jumped to their deaths to escape the suffocating smoke.
Labor activists like Aminul Islam had fought for years to improve conditions in Bangladesh's 4,000 garment factories, which produce billions of dollars worth of goods for American brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Nautica, Kenneth Cole and Timberland. But it was not until ABC News put together a damning report in March, demonstrating that the Hamim Group continued to produce clothing at the factory where 29 people died without upgrading it, that real change began to come to the factories of Dhaka.
Tommy Hilfiger's parent company, Phillips-Van Heusen pledged more than $1 million to raise and enforce safety standards before the ABC story even aired. The pledge was greeted by labor activists as a good start with much more to do. Then, less than three weeks after the landmark agreement, the activist Islam's body was found tortured to death, all his toes broken.
Islam's family suspects Bangladeshi police played a role in Islam's death, the government afraid the added cost of safety protocols, higher wages and worker protections would price Bangladesh's factories out of their collective position as the cheapest place in the world to manufacture apparel.
This is the reality of the "race to the bottom," the hyper-accelerated movement of capital, jobs and resources from the world's international corporations — manufacturing, agriculture, service — to the lowest bidder. In such a race, those who get in the way of business often find themselves on the wrong side of the starting pistol. And even sympathetic people are also consumers who benefit greatly from a global system that produces affordable items for purchase.
This GlobalPost 'Special Report,' titled "Worked Over: The Global Decline of Labor Rights," explores the way the forces of free-market capitalism have rapidly eroded hard-won protections negotiated between governments, labor unions and activists in countries with developed economies, like Spain, the United States and Canada.
In surging economies like Brazil, South Africa, and India, where global capitalism and domestic labor movements are coming of age simultaneously, the battle between worker stability and economic growth continues and workers must often come to terms with an era of diminished expectations.
And for hundreds of millions of the world's poorest people in countries like China, Nicaragua, Colombia, India and Bangladesh, basic labor protections are a luxury if they exist at all and many workers lack the safety net to do anything but work the jobs they are able to get. Unions contend with government suppression and violence while formidable employers target those who dare to organize.
But as international labor organizations have discovered in recent years, the struggles of workers around the world, regardless of their nationality, are remarkably similar. This is why American labor organizations have banded together with their counterparts in Mexico to fight for better Mexican wages. It is why British unions have allied with labor advocates in Bangladesh to protest the conditions under which the London Olympic apparel is produced.
Because as American workers shake their heads as outsourced jobs finally come back home but at much lower wages with far fewer benefits, it becomes clear that the "race to the bottom" has very few winners. And those winners rarely come from the ranks of the assembly line or the cornfield or the checkout counter. In the coming months, GlobalPost will report on just how far labor rights have fallen in recent years and where they are expected to go.

Bluebirds working to beat big freeze
The wintry conditions that have swept Britain this week show no sign of relenting as the weekend approaches and, with more snow and sub-zero temperatures forthcoming, sports events almost everywhere are being wiped out. But the Bluebirds are working around the clock to ensure the club's new Cardiff City Stadium will be ready for action along with the surrounding areas. Last month's scheduled Championship clash against Leicester was postponed due to a frozen pitch with the undersoil heating at the club's state-of-the-art arena not yet fully functional but that problem has been rectified and the playing surface is in good condition. Dave Jones put his players through their paces on the pitch on Tuesday and are expected to return for another session on Thursday. The focus is now on clearing remaining snow and ice from the stands, car parks and all areas and approaches around the stadium to ensure the encounter gets the green light.

Hot stuff and Miami fudgepacking." True art, what with the relentlessly shallow coverage of "all night dance and beer parties" being tragically overlooked by the root-of-all-human-evil. Another reader asking for "intellectual reading" rather than "senseless parties and the who-fucked-who-where scenes." Well, burrowing like a maggot through all the decayed meat of society takes its toll. But then we like to think of ourselves as a sort of throwback to Tobias Smollet, the cheerful, conscienceless Scotsman who chronicled the depravity of eighteenth-century England. Great stuff, and, as George Orwell pointed out, work that would be "ruined by any intrusion of the moral sense."
Sobering-enough criticism, but unfortunately, senseless parties and vacuous-but-diverting nights in clubs are part of the program. A "Sizzling Summer Sunday" at Sempers, hosted by the "Girls in the Night" crew. Black-and-white drawings on the walls, lesbians in a Joan-of-Arc phase, and a massive black doorman: "You understand that this is a gay party, right?" Gay girls dancing away, ringleader Lisa Cox making a cruel joke ("That'll be five bucks") and affecting introductions. A cozy, friendly party, the specter of sex, thank God, totally out of the question. "Disco" at The Cameo a frantic hetero battleground packed to the rafters, an unkind bright light coming up in an illusion-destroying way during the "play that funky music, white boy" refrain.
Dark thoughts about the futility of it all, then the perfectly earnest Brazilian model/fashion designer Joana Bueno materializing out of the satanic maelstrom, proving that upright human beings actually go out at night. Bueno wearing one of her own cotton Lycra catsuits, having a show this fall at the Miami International Merchandise Mart, and heading off in September for a modeling stint in Japan. Her design firm, Boca Loca Inc., a partnership with fellow Brazilians Alba Nascimento and Delia Camposs, apparently also producing bikinis and the sort of short, tight dresses appropriate for lounge-lizard leisure wear. Twenty-four, ambitious, and at peace with the world, something of a dim memory personally: "I came from Dizinopolis in Brazil four years ago. The clubs here are so much better, so many different types of music. Miami is great."
On to the great and not-so-great, bits and pieces of the club/party/culture circuit. Nightclubs having exhausted every possible sexploitation angle, Club One in Coral Gables moving into the possibly arousing neoviolence area with a weekly series of boxing matches. Malcolm Jamal-Warner of The Cosby Show having an after-hours party at The Spot. Lily Zanardi of Stilnovo throwing a party at her chic Coral Gables furniture store. A dinner for designer Norman Gosney of the new club Hell at Barocco Beach. Hype-chat about Tattler, the London Sunday Times Magazine, and Stern doing the obligatory South Beach article. "Dwelling Places" at the World Gallery on Lincoln Road, an exhibition of new work by sculptor Alvaro A. Garcia. Connie May Fowler, author of the wonderful novel Sugar Cage -- featuring a collection of compelling circa-Sixties Northern Florida characters, ranging from a white soldier to a voodoo priestess -- speaking at The Foundlings Club on August 19. And, to end the mad whirl on the right ethno-culture note, a tribute concert at the James L. Knight Center for mambo pioneer Israel "Cachao" Lopez, Cachao -- Mambo y Descarga.
Co-promoter and actor Andy Garcia setting a high-purpose tone, opening with a reading from the work of Federico Garcia Lorca. Cachao, accompanied by pros like Nestor Torres, Paquito D'Rivera, and Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros, launching into a series of vintage Cuban dances, danzones, gentle songs about what Garcia calls "the ritual of courtship." Marred somewhat by a party of Cuban burghers chattering away heedlessly behind us, an approach to audience decorum they probably would have taken with the second coming of Christ. Intermission, the lobby popping. Actor Robert Duvall real intense, moving fast and mumbling "thank you" to an assortment of gushing admirers. Olga Garay, director of cultural affairs at the Wolfson Campus of Miami-Dade Community College, doing an Anglo head count, six and still counting. Poet and art curator Ricardo Pau-Llosa working on a variety of Latin American art projects, Cuban painter Arturo Rodriguez and a major-hair glamour girl in a tiger-print jumpsuit, an exhilarating summit of vulgarity beyond capturing.
Slipping down front to the VIP section afterward, easier listening, and somehow, easier breathing, too. Garcia playing drums for the second section of the concert, descargas, jazz improvisation sessions with insistent Afro-Cuban rhythms. Cachao's bass rumbling beneath, explosive clarinet and saxophone solos. The occasional screaming adolescent voice -- "Andy, we love you." Gloria and Emilio Estefan climbing up on stage, milling around awhile, Torres explaining the artistic process: "With descargas, you really don't know what you're going to do until you're doing it." Everybody eventually chanting, "Hey, Gloria Sol" to a big mamboland finish.

Department of Justice
United States Attorney James R. Dedrick Eastern District of Tennessee
KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Charlie Edward Cox, age 71, of Union County, Tennessee, was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 21 months stemming from his guilty pleas to charges that he bought votes in a 2006 election in Union County, Tennessee. Judge Phillips directed that Cox be taken into custody at the conclusion of the hearing to begin to serve his sentence immediately.
According to the indictment and plea agreement, Cox violated Title 42, United States Code, Section 1793i(c), by paying six (6) different individuals for voting during an early election held in Union County, Tennessee, on or about August 3, 2006. This election was held in part for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the office of Member of the United States Senate.
In August 2006 Cox drove the six (6) individuals to the polling place at Union County High School, paid them ten dollars ($10) each, and directed them to vote for specific candidates. At the time of the offenses, Cox was a Union County Commissioner. Later, Cox attempted to obstruct the investigation by discouraging witnesses from talking to law enforcement personnel who were investigating the vote-buying scheme, telling the individuals whom he had bribed not to admit that Cox had paid them to vote as he had directed them.
United States Attorney James R. Dedrick said, "This prosecution reflects the commitment of the the Department of Justice to aggressively investigate and prosecute persons who seek to corrrupt the integrity of our election process. The sentence will serve to deter others who would seek to illegally undermine the foundation of our democracy."
The case was jointly investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

If you look around for information about growing a bigger butt, you'll likely notice that everyone reccommends either exercise or fattening foods. The most popular advice given is "eat cornbread and/or do squats."
While this might work for a few people, it simple doesn't work for most. There's more to building a round curvy butt than gaining weight or gaining butt muscle.
However, for this issue I'm going to focus on the cornbread myth. Here's why eating cornbread doesn't work for most people:
If you have an unsatisfactory butt, chances are your body doesn't want to store any gained weight in the butt area. It's probably more prone to collect around your stomach or upper body. This is an unfortunate truth about many people. Just because we want a big butt doesn't mean that's what our body is just going to give us!
You have to change the way your body stores fat if you want gained weight to go to your bottom instead of your middle.
I used to think this was impossible, but one day I stumbled upon the answer (and it's kind of a weird one). If you want to learn more about it, do yourself a big favor and check out the Bigger Butt Secrets system as it's been proven effective and works quickly.

"As good as gold": stay in the seventies of the last century, before the creation of strokes
Wen / Ma Qingyun
movie "as good as gold" Hebei and other cities of the cinema release, the film tells the story of Hebei Agricultural University graduates helped the dead classmates maintenance their parents things. Screenwriter Zhan Wenguan, Hebei Shijiazhuang, a city with me, but never masked. It is said that the film "screenwriter center" system, in other words, screenwriter government contacts, resources, able to obtain the financial support of the Government. Government money to shoot films it has been common. But this time, the screenplay of Zhan Wenguan the "good as gold" not for the government to sing any hymn, but good deeds instead danced the "loyalty dance". Watching the movie,Insanity Workout, I would like to ask the sentence is government investment as the main theme of the film, when a pair of living alone is already dead son's classmates care set Yousi the civil affairs departments where? This is perhaps not the embarrassing part of this main theme of the film.
drama shot in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Normal University and stone house in the village, so many election scene, the key scenes in the stone village. Rocks village views of the village for the movie point to see, particularly in the rain as the most beautiful mountain village after the rain. Shooting season and catch up with the fall in 11 years, everything slightly withered without falling, can be described as the right place at the right time. In the other hand,Insanity Workout, the film, right place, but the lack of human resources.
director of the
"as good as gold," The Jockey Club Lei. From the play reflected the view of the problems, the Jockey Club Lei director of the film narrative rhythm ability to control the poor. Sensational start is the students sitting on the grass for several minutes, before entering the relative state of tension, the male lead fall to the hospital. Up to the diagnosis of an incurable disease, the death of the male lead has become the foreseeable future, in the process of waiting for the death of the male lead, unlimited large area sensational play is a direct result of the loss of moviegoers expect real good changes to "go die quickly, hurry to the next plot" to complain. - This phenomenon, not the audience without conscience, but the director used the camera to an abuse of lyrical, should this audience to understanding, to the director to express. For example, the male lead is home to die left Hebei Normal University East Campus for some, I saw that opened a full version of the car more than a minute, pro, you this is a TV series?
director serious problems in the scheduling of the lens. In addition to the abuse lyrical Another big problem is to complete the film shooting, shooting style drama. The movie, too much emphasis on the lines of dialogue, and few characters of the play, basically all the scenes are done through the lines, put aside the image, just look at the lines, the audience can reveal an "I sentence you" scenes. Director of the lens scheduling is dull and even messy, no aura. And even, this is an affliction piece (film side located affliction), director of the empty mirror actually did not see the love and bitter, the lens does not lyrical, weeping and noisy remaining characters to pretend lyric . Lens become a dead thing, the characters become alive, but the lack of "affliction" soul dead. In the the lens push and pull between the pan, can be issued to the feelings, the director of the language of the camera passes understand these.
say that the actor's speech. Cast the bad, or the director. "As good as gold," All the actors are put, but Shoubu Zhu, not acting freely. Like a hard to force a race, are put, but fully liberalized, they also lose the power of affliction, they will become a farce. For example, students find a crush on the girl that period for the death of the male lead, forced a bitter look, let the audience feel a bunch of God nerves. Group of young performers, in fact, the rest of freak to the back lines, they are not acting, but crying recite the text. It touches the mother of the male lead good scenes, but there is no tension because the story itself, which leads to the mother put too open, it is absent-minded. Mother played by too liberalized, resulting in this role seems there is no meaning, the lack of the spiritual world even more memorable. But on the whole, or scheduling problems, I always thought, no not the actor, not the director.
camera teachers really do not want to say he. Said one, my personal viewing experience - not to the lens.
But we have to see, "as good as gold" is actually is a screenwriter Center movie, the film quality is good or bad, to close full responsibility screenwriter Zhanwen Guan to negative. Directed by scheduling not, why use? The camera can not give up, why please? Instead we think, the failure of the director of the camera, to a large extent caused by the weakness of the script. In other words, the erection of the story itself, there is no tension.
1, old-fashioned storytelling way.
is classifying method itself is not the problem, but "as good as gold", screenwriter build script, without regard to the story transforms, anywhere, think we can cry for a nose, immediately Laxialianlai, everyone went with weeping and the. Poor grasp of the story rhythm, and even pre-bedding is too long, and behind spent force. This old-fashioned account of the way, resulting in the whole story is just a running account. Running account of their personal feelings, the play but he must have since significantly wise to join a variety of emotional catharsis, eventually leading to feelings bursting point, the blasting, actors with tears dip off the fuse.
no power lines for plays.
dialogue of the movie, it is the largest flawed. According to the TV series "flowers" (seemingly called "warm spring") dialogue. The screenwriter lack their own language features. Even, the screenwriter is in an awkward position on an own language. Another point, the various lines of dialogue winded, can say and an engaging absolutely say to thirty-five parties feel clever, in fact, only the old lady's long-winded like Mendun. Different characters, there should be a different language styles. But the screenwriter's grasp clearly insufficient. All bets are forced to suffer the bitter language to force the character, there is no difference, there is no any a bright spot.
superficial character build.
screenwriter when writing scripts, the lack of a deeper understanding of the story characters, in other words, not into the spiritual world of the characters, whimsical composition, leading to play all the characters are superficial, boiled water, and even more dead than alive and back lines. Explore the character of the spiritual world, the script of the movie is going to overcome first. Not do the work, or do not get this work, a direct result of the peace on the script, the characters are not alive, dead fish state. The male lead, is completely dead fish status, The argumentative the deathbed Guzuogaoshen a few words on the life and death of the person, but the lack of screenwriter stories ability, with to speak truths keen pout. Screenwriter suitable to open the Congress, rather than engage in script writing, from that point on.
4, the overall pace of the overall story out of control.
"as good as gold" gave me the feeling, the screenwriter for this good deeds to write poetry of praise, think of what to write where, did not focus on how much ink this, that part of how much ink. Do not know how the scheduling of ink, you can not generate the overall rhythm of the story. The film, in front of blunt forced lengthy behind this should be all-round display CAU how the student support for the elderly 10 years of things, but not what story to tell. The short a lot, this can be a long. This is not a story, this is a funny play limericks.
5, the proliferation of catharsis.
true suffered movie, is not so much a freak hanging ingesting pesticide. Silent is sound. "Schindler's List" is a good example. "As good as gold,Insanity Dvd," died, in order to render, rendering son not survive, covered with a tearful voice. This is the the screenwriter personal lack of capacity. Do not know how to find among the silent power of sound. This writing style reminds me of those hymns to shine as the Quartet, Golden Hill of Beijing, Chairman Mao is the golden sun - you are so straightforward praise good deeds, the audience will feel your own "good deeds" sycophant doubt on the motive of praise? - For example, to write good deeds really think it is worth learning it, or to sell a script fee? Too straightforward, often do not take the audience into the story, but directly to the audience to question the motives.
wiseacre plot add a lot of.
drama will be a big problem is that writer's try to be smart, come up with a lot of feel great but the audience think it is a very low-level plot. For example, the male lead home to recuperate and wait for death, the stone village spontaneous sprinkle on the road grain for some writers try to be smart and come up with a village sing River drum commentary and so on, is superfluous. Another example, the village committee director bet River drum artists, godson whether they can adhere to the 15 years it seems to contrast with the side of the pen writer, in fact, just the last story of screenwriter no material performance. Plus a River drum artists to join is entirely flaw, All the River drum aria, is the audience the play, the audience play, how can you take it followed the film's emotional beats?
script of the movie, as the Academy of Film Screenwriting error correction problem master, even every word, every plot placement, are worthy of scrutiny just the right again. Screenwriter, I would venture to speculate, is likely to be reading such as "Song of Youth", "Snowy Forest", "Yanshanyehua bibliographies grew up, language routines old, thought banal, boring creative approach. So I said, "as good as gold" is a stay of the things written in the seventies of the last century the creation of strokes. The brushwork, really the main theme, However, in addition to the main theme, what is left of it?

Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: Gets off to a great start and then simply shuts down, like an awesome vintage car on an ambitious road trip.
- Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com, Thursday, August 30, 2001
Rotten: Jeepers Creepers is better setting things up than following through. It must resort to psychic mumbo-jumbo that has to be played straight and doesn't work.
- Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle, Friday, August 31, 2001
Rotten: The only thing about this movie that really made me shudder is that we are probably going to be deluged with a bunch of crappy sequels for it.

Audience Reviews
Jeepers Creepers is a very different Horror film than what we are used to. Director Victor Salva creates a horror film with a unique monster, The Creeper, a boogeyman type of monster. The film is very intense, and terrifying, it brings elements of old school horror and the cast here do a good job. Jeepers Creepers is a well done film film withn an original story that will please horror fans that are tired with cliched heavy horror films of the late 90's. The film starts off with a bang with the truck attack , which echoes Steven Spielberg's Duel. Jeepers Creepers is a terrifying horror film and has many scares for the audience, and it will make you feel uneasy. I think that Jeepers Creepers has had unnecessary flack because it's viewed as a ccheap thrill horror film. I really don't think that this film deserves all the bad press it has gotten. Jeepers Creepers is one of the most memorable horror films of the decade and it's certainly a good one at that because IT IS not a remake, it's an original film! After the really bad Horror films of the late 90s, this film is very refreshing in scaring you. It doesn't have the typical Scream horror clichs and its very enjoyable give it a chance; its really not a bad film at all. If you like boogeyman type films, the Jeepers Creepers is the type of film you need to watch. A very blood curdling film at times.
- TheDudeLebowski65, Saturday, November 20, 2010
The story is pretty unique (not the killing part that shows that the monster doesn't die no matter how hard you try). I must admit that It was very frightening. I enjoyed the conversation between the brother and the sister. Loads of slang that will make you laugh a bit. But the atmosphere gets scarier after sometime. The ending was sad. The yelling part seemed fake, Darry (Justin Long seemed like having fun in the Fifa Tournament (well it sounded like that). The Cat Lady looked more scarier than the Jeeper Creeper lol.

More women getting training for permits than men!
Since offering FREE* training for women, Armed & Safe classes have been booked since February, with a MAJORITY of women in attendance ($30 cost paid by most, $60 special deal for guys, full scholarships available for those who need it). We will continue this offer IF demand for it continues, so tell your friends to take the class ASAP: June 28th, July 19th, July 26th, August 16th, August 24th. We will be requesting grant money from FRNA for materials to continue this offer. Mark your calendars for August 16th to attend the FRNA fundraising dinner for local pro-gun charities (more below).
2008 Reciprocity for CCW: Nevada has full reciprocity with Florida, Californians can carry in NV on a UT permit ( tell your CA pro-gun friends they can take the 4-hour class in Reno, SAC, or SF BAY area).
CCWs no longer valid for waiving DPS transfer charge : ( Starting July 1st The ATF sent notification letters to Nevada FFL dealers NOT to accept NV CCW permits as a waiver for the NICS ( Brady) checks after July 1st. We do not have all of the answers about why, but we know that we have lost this in the past due to some SOs not doing proper background checks, failing ATF audits. A grassroots effort to get the SOs to accept ATF assistance for compliance restored it for a few years. It appears we have lost it and must fight again.This is a NEVADA GUN TAX!
Get ready to protest the Nevada GUN TAX
The Department of Public Safety (DPS) has been charging Nevada FFL dealers $25 (passed on to all customers without a CCW) for making a call to the Federal NICS system. This is FREE to any states without a 'middle man', or POC, which means it is a gun tax that benefits only the DPS. This is a duplication of government services, a state tax on ALL firearms purchases (beginning July 1st). It does not have the same confidentiality guarantees as the federal system (which destroys records every 90 days). Nevada State Legislature voted to allow the DPS to become a POC, so we will need to follow a legislative reversal process. Since they are out of session at this time, we will not be able to act on this until Fall. Hopefully by the end of this year, we will be able to eliminate the Nevada gun tax for EVERYONE! We will keep you informed on how to protest ( emails, phone calls, petition, testifying) as soon as we know what action is required.
