Leshoure's 3 TDs send Illinois past Baylor 38-14
HOUSTON Mikel Leshoure isn't sure whether he'll declare for the NFL draft or return to Illinois for his senior season.
But if Wednesday night's Texas Bowl ends up being his college send-off it will certainly be remembered as a good one.
Leshoure ran for 184 yards and a career-high three touchdowns and set five school records as Illinois earned its first bowl victory since 1999, beating Baylor 38-14.
The Illini spoiled the Bears' first bowl appearance in 16 seasons. Both teams finished at 7-6.
Leshoure had a 5-yard TD run in the second quarter, a 13-yard score in the third quarter and another 5-yard touchdown run in the fourth period.
The performance gave him school records for single-season rushing yards (1,697), single-season scoring (122 points), total touchdowns in a season (20), 100-yard rushing game in a season (9) and consecutive 100-yard rushing games (5).
"I can't even really put it into words," he said. "First of all winning and ... now that it's the end of the season and I found out I broke those records it feels good. I'm proud of myself and I'm proud of my teammates and coaches."
The Illini built a 24-0 lead and Leshoure's last touchdown put the game out of reach.
Illinois coach Ron Zook was informed late in the game that Leshoure needed 23 yards to set the rushing record.
"All we had to do was tell the offensive line and (quarterback) Nathan (Scheelhaase) that ... and they did the rest," Zook said.
Baylor's Robert Griffin III threw for 306 yards and a touchdown, but his two fumbles in the first half put the Bears behind.
Baylor coach Art Briles couldn't focus on the strides his team made this season in finishing with its first winning record since 1995.
"It's hard right now. It really is," he said. "Anytime you don't get the result that's desired, it doesn't feel good. It's a bad feeling. It's a bad feeling to have your face turned red."
Leshoure was chosen the most valuable player and wore a cowboy hat as he hoisted the trophy above his head after the game while the small but vocal group of Illinois fans cheered. He kept the hat on when he spoke to reporters after the game.
"I like the hat," he said grinning. "It's my first cowboy hat. I'll use it as a souvenir and I might wear it out sometime."
The Bears cut the lead to 24-14 when Griffin found a diving Kendall Wright on a 39-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-14 early in the fourth quarter.
Illinois finished with 291 yards rushing and 533 yards of total offense to give Zook his first bowl win as a head coach in his fourth try.
"It's hard to win games and they're all big," Zook said. "I don't think there was a lot of people that gave us much of a chance in this game. So that competitor in you that wants to compete and if you can prove people wrong that's something you get satisfaction out of. That's not why you do it, though. I'm just happy for everybody."

Ok so I've got a friend who was just hired to work POTC back in December. He told me that he heard the Remember Dream Come True Fireworks would continue to run for five years and there wouldn't be any Christmas fireworks during that time. Just wondering, has anyone else heard this? I seriously doubt it, but maybe that's just me hoping to see Christmas fireworks this year.
I love these fireworks but I'm not too keen on losing the Christmas ones until 2010.

By Brandi Koskie for DietsInReview.com
Healthy eating plans—like fit bottoms—come in all shapes and sizes. There are thousands of them. Sounds astonishing, right? At DietsinReview.com , we've reviewed more than 2,000 and sometimes feel like we haven't scratched the surface. At some point they all start to look the same, but there are those that stand out and have had loyal followings for years.
While there are countless that cite nothing more than watching what they ate and exercising more to get them to their goal (love this!), others find that a packaged, commercial weight-loss plan is best suited for them, especially in the beginning when they're trying to get healthy and aren't sure where to start. If you've thought about joining one of these, be sure to shop around. Healthy eating plans are like anything else—they are not a universal fit, and you ultimately want to make sure you're getting you money's worth.
Here are a few things to consider about three plans that stand-out as the popular kids so far in 2011.
Just shy of a 50th anniversary, Weight Watchers is often considered one of the most flexible and practical weight-loss plans on the market. You'll rarely find a "best of" list where they aren't holding the top position. Join online, in weekly meetings, through corporate wellness programs, or follow a library of books published by the brand.
Another veteran of the weight-loss market, with 28 years of experience helping men and women lose weight, Jenny Craig is a go-to for celebrities in need of slimming down. The Jenny Craig program is based on meal delivery, meaning they ship pre-portioned meals to your home and offers one-on-one counseling in person or via phone.
The low-carb craze seemed to have died down when the last of the Y2K bottled-water stock piles were drank, but South Beach Diet continues to be a sought-after plan for weight-loss. Unlike other popular low-carb diets, this actually eliminates heart-damaging saturated fats and teaches healthful eating in moderation. For no more than the cost of the book, or for a low membership fee for access to the online program, South Beach Diet is very accessible.
While the FBGs always say "diet is a four-letter word," these healthy eating plans can be good for the right person in the right situation. Tell us, have you tried one of these diets? Did you like it? Have success? Stick with it for the long-term?

Welcome to hyperkitty
HyperKitty is an archiver project for Mailman, version 3.
It aims at implementing http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/ModernArchiving
You can read the main documentation online.
There is a demo server available, but it's a development server, so it may be broken at the time you access it. It's usually OK though. Currently it is running a version of HyperKitty? from July 2014, because recent changes in Mailman make it incompatible with !HyperKitty (the Python 3 port), and we're in the process of fixing that.
Design mockups are available at: http://linuxgrrl.com/fedora-ux/Projects/Mailman/Prototype%201/
More designs are available as blog posts:

The source are hosted on Github: https://github.com/hyperkitty. You'll need all three repositories.
HyperKitty, being a Django application, can be used with any other Django project. If you are deploying HyperKitty standalone, you'll only need kittystore, hyperkitty and hyperkitty_standalone.

I kind of liked the ending. Was better than I expected. But the pacing of that game felt to fast. I wasn't expecting it to be over. Maybe I played through it too fast, I don't know.
Overall I think the missions just weren't long enough. The evolution missions were a joke, WAY too short...
The evolution missions were a joke, WAY too short...
...You realize they were supposed to be short? Just small bonuses to give you an idea of how the variations operated. Hell, originally there weren't even supposed to be evolutionary missions, but they were added later in development.
I was waiting for Mengsk to become Amon kill everyone leaving Zeratul to finish the job. That would have been awesome.
I wouldn't have wanted that. I was expect a more gruesome Mengsk death, kind of like the ones you see in the "SAW" films.
They weren't really intended to be missions just a way for players to get a feel for the different choices without having to just make a permanent choice based on a video clip and a list of features like you had to in WoL.
Well either way the ending was enough. They didn't end up together, but that's ok, this isn't the end of the trilogy anyway.
I was disappointed that Kerrigan went back to her Zerg form as well, I was really looking forward to seeing her as a Terran again, as I really liked her Terran character.
I'm pretty confident that returning Kerrigan to her Zerg form was chosen for the simple fact that they probably spent a very long time creating all her SCII artwork as the QoB, she became very established and her look was very unique in WoL. I think Blizzard decided to return her to Zerg form because they simply could not let go of how awesome they thought she looked as the SCII Queen of Blades. That's really the only reason I can see, as returning her to her Zerg form seemed like a total 180 from WoL to me, and something in the storyline turning around that quickly had to be because of some trivial reason such as described above.
Summary - Blizz made Kerrigan zerg again because they're too proud of how cool she looks as the QoB to let it go.
Summary - Blizz made Kerrigan zerg again because they're too proud of how cool she looks as the QoB to let it go.
It's all right this time, her humanity and morality had been restored, which was why Raynor accepted letting her go for the time being.
That was my only problem with Hots.
1. I liked Ghost Kerrigan! Brought back good memories, I figure her having zerg hair was enough and taking control of the swarm as is was good enough for me..but NOPE they had to change it.
2. Her new form look like her old form..down to the color scheme..Coming from that spawning pool I expected her to be a lot more different heck maybe a different colors scheme on top of it?
3.She went around slaughter people to easily for my taste..made me feel like a #!@*@!@% for helping her. IN fact killing Warfield disappointed me a lot..just because that is what the old Kerrigan would have done.

It was vital for reinfestation. The whole point of the deinfestation in WoL was only to get rid of Amon's influence. It was NEVER about reuniting with Raynor, at least for the time being...
Like i said before my opinions on the story are always changing as a I get a better grasp of the meaning behind everything in HoTs. It really does make sense. In WoL the whole point of Zeratul coming to Raynor telling him Kerrigan must survive makes sense in that purging her with the Xel'Naga artifacts released Amons grasp letting Kerrigan actually be in control of herself. With her being a Primal now it makes her even more powerful. That being said it makes sense that she would have to be in this form to take down Amon. It seems to me Kerrigan is the "chosen one". Really, she its one of the most important characters in the game as of HoT's. But as I will continue to say I would really love to see Kerrigan make it out in human form at the end of LotV. But who really knows right now. I really would love blizzard not to take another year for this next game. But yea I don't know about you guys but i love the action and everything about SC, and i'll admit to the whole love aspect to kerrigan and jim theres no doubt that its a huge part in HoTs. I almost teared up at the last cinematic. I felt that there should have been something more to it, I was a good/bad ending i think, but i'm just venting haha. In WoL there were WAY more cinematics which i really enjoyed. But keep this thread going, let me know what you guys think is the fate of Kerrigan/Jim/Zeratul. As much as I don't want to hear peoples opinions about Kerrigan not being human or not going to live at the end of LotV, hey its your opinion and i respect that :D. (As you can tell throughout my posts on this thread I REALLY don't want to see kerrigan die and would like her to end off in a human form, thats just me).
i think the bright point in the story was the epic beam duel with samir duran. and the cutscene after that mission. it's about time that traitorous dog got what was coming to him.
honestly, after that epic fight, the whole mengsk thing felt like an epilogue.

Yeah, I'll just wait for people to write fanfics after HotS for Raynor and Kerrigan to kiss and make up for the lost time, before parting ways again for a while.
Seriously though, to defeat Amon, all 3 races will have to stand together, so Raynor and Kerrigan will be fighting alongside each other in LotV anyway.
Basically the 'evil' mindless aggresion of zerg as we've known up until this latest release have all been to do with Amon. Blame him, not the zerg race.
Pretty much... as Dehaka says the terran have no essence to absorb. So really the zerg should have no interest in hunting down and killing them. Killing those in their way when they want to absorb something interesting on a planet sure but far as actively TRYING to kill terran they really shouldn't care.
its possible she does spend a lot of time training Za'gara to be more intelligent and to think like a strategist more so than just a killing machine. Also mentioned that Za'gara's time to replace her will come.
Edited by Zarzak on 3/15/2013 9:18 AM PDT
Yeah but this also poses a problem. If you remember in the last Zerus mission, RIGHT before you fight the Ancient One, he told Kerrigan that the heritage of the Zerg is to hunt, kill, absorb essence, and evolve.
That means to ensure the swarm doesn't threaten others, Kerrigan has to change the core fundamentals of the Zerg so they don't do that anymore.

That was exactly the problem with the entire campaign, it was completely linear and far too predictable. The ending was expected from the VERY start of the game, literally. Especially when she took control of the zerg just for lols and destroyed half the lab. Then when she got turned back into the queen of blades it was just game wrecking, both storyline wise, and common sense wise.
Why in hells name did she get uninfested in the first place? Because Raynor wanted her back to humanity so they could finally be together. At the very first suggestion he died, she throws her humanity away, the gift he worked for years upon years to do for her. And also at that, the first time she was turned it was (admittedly) Abathor on the overminds command to infest her. The second time, it was a pool of catalytic fluids from the primal zerg planet which according to Abathor was ALOT more then an infestation, it literally rebuilt her to be completely zerg in DNA, not just an infection. The 2 have absolutely no connection to eachother except the specimen that it was done on... SO WHY THE HELL DID THEY DO THE SAME THING IN DIFFERENT COLOURS? I admit her face appears to be more human, but it's hard to tell with how little the "infested" kerrigan was shown in full detail in WOL was, and it is never explained if she ever decided to wear things "make-up" style to add to the effect of "nasty women who needs a bullet for a brain". They are nearly identical despite the completely different style and technique of both processes?
This is obviously Blizzard have no imagination and taking the easy way out throughout the whole campaign... duplicate it and modify some minor details. Even Zagara tells Kerrigan she didn't need to do this in order to win/have her way, because she already could... just showing howfar kerrigan is a diehard moronic women who says "she will pay for her choices later"... yeah maybe don't make those choices in the first place if you don't need to.
Also, to someguy up here who said "She regains her humanity"... Kerrigan admits she denounced her humanity and raynor... She just wants to leave off on a good note with the people around her who will remember her for the "good" she did. She flies in, destroys the city, kills thousands upon thousands of people(assuming mainly soldiers), slays the self proclaimed Emporer, and then disappears without showing any remorse for what she's done to fight an enemy that only she(and Raynor and zeratul, but they cant do jack about it with what they have at their disposal) seems to know about. She doesn't need the civilians remembering her as someone who slaughtered millions, and then disappeared for no reason(they know of). In Warfields case and the evacuation ships, she is probably honouring his last wishes seeing as she DRASTICALLY overreacted to him mentioning raynor, seeing as those injured soldiers would be back into fighting shape(if possible) to face her in the future.
I felt like the predictability was more like hindsight analysis. However, this does feel like they just took plot points from original SC and repeated them.
Kerrigan and Jim have a moment.
They separated
Kerrigan goes cacoon and you have to protect her
Kerrigan re-builds zerg army
Kerrigan pwns everything
I was a little disappointed in the ending, yes. Felt like Jim & Sarah had worked so hard for two games now to be together, and the story writers basically threw it away. Now I am holding out some hope that they will still have a feel-good ending after LotV, but only time will tell. I understand the storyline fully, just wish they had taken it in another direction.

Since 2001, City Slicker Farms has been partnering with the West Oakland community to grow and distribute thousands of pounds of fresh, healthy produce.
Learn how you can support a just and sustainable food system in West Oakland.
CSF Staff Head to EcoFarm Conference
Farm Assistant Joseph Davis and Program Assistant Katherine Yagle received scholarships to attend the 2015 EcoFarm Conference, an annual conference in Pacific Grove focused on cultivating sustainable food systems. Joseph checked out a few workshops that got him thinking about possibilities for the new West Oakland Farm and Park--one called "Make Your Farm Energy Self-Sufficient," where he learned about incentives for using alternative energies on the farm, and one called "Biodynamic Beekeeping," which gave him plenty of ideas for the bees that will live at the Farm Park.
Lemon Recipes from Backyard Gardener Erica Marcus
Backyard Gardener Erica Marcus donated lemons from her tree to our first farmstand of 2015 on Saturday. We asked her to share some of her favorite lemon recipes with us.
When I moved to West Oakland, I fell in love with my house because of the incredible lemon tree in my backyard. It loves my backyard and for the last twelve plus years, it has provided thousands of lemons to me and my neighbors. For the last year and a half, whenever possible, I bring a bucket of lemons to City Slicker Farms Saturday Farm Stand.
Unity Council-De Colores Garden Featured in Green Childcare Video
The Alameda County Early Care & Education Planning Council recently released a video documenting the importance of green education in child care programs. The video features a garden City Slicker Farms built with Unity Council - De Colores Head Start.
Backyard Gardeners Build Pruning Skills
This winter, in an effort to keep Backyard Gardeners' fruit trees healthy and share pruning skills, City Slicker Farms' staff and mentors are embarking on a first-ever fruit tree pruning project, heading out into backyards across West Oakland. Although CSF has traditionally offered some winter assistance to Backyard Gardeners, such as pruning and dormant spraying, Backyard Garden Program Coordinator, Alison Fischman, found that it was not meeting Backyard Gardeners' needs.
Neighborhood Food Act makes it easier for renters to garden
West Oakland renters applying for a Backyard Garden got a boost this year thanks to the Neighborhood Food Act. The new law makes it illegal for landlords to prohibit their tenants from growing edible fruits and vegetables for their own consumption. Backyard Garden Program Coordinator Alison Fischman said the new law will be a positive change for the City Slicker Farms community.
Last Day to Double Your Impact!
Today is the day we say goodbye to 2014 and welcome in a new year! At City Slicker Farms, we're proud to be celebrating all of the accomplishments we made over the past four growing seasons, and all of the relationships we've built with our donors, program participants, allies, and volunteers.
The Helen Turner Children's Center Garden Project: A Picture Book
In early October, Childcare Garden Program Coordinator Sarah Karlson and a very enthusiastic group of staff, children, and parents worked together to build a garden for Helen Turner Children's Center in Hayward. This garden was specifically designed to be accessible by children in wheelchairs. In just four hours, the group assembled boxes, strung trellises, shoveled soil, planted seedlings and installed irrigation. At the end of the day this beautiful garden was finished!
Win Prizes While Learning How to Reduce Food Waste!
City Slicker Farms is partnering with StopWaste, a public agency that encourages recycling in Alameda County, to promote the use of your green bin at home.
Goal: Build Thirty Backyard Gardens Before the End of the Year
Backyard Garden Program Coordinator Alison Fischman was on maternity leave for four months this year, but she's not letting that stop her from reaching her goal of thirty Backyard Garden builds.
Every year, we aim to build at least thirty new backyard gardens for West Oakland residents.
Team Instructacoop Builds a New Home for our Chickens at the West Oakland Farm and Park
As we get closer to the start of construction on the new West Oakland Urban Farm and Park, the staff is abuzz with design plans and dreams of the future. One of the changes we're most excited about is our new chicken coop--a beautiful 4-section compound that will house a 20-chicken flock.
The new coop is the project of a group of Masters of Architecture and Design MBA graduates from the California College of the Arts who received an IMPACT Award from CCA's Center for Art and Public Life. Logan Kelley, Leila Khosrovi, Shawn Komlos, Hachem Mahfoud, Frances Reid, and Brendan Williams--Team Instructacoop--have been working on an innovative coop design since March.
"Five of us were in a class together at CCA called Professional Practice and we kind of 'hatched' this idea together," Frances said. "We met with City Slicker Farms folks and were flying a bunch of ideas that would be useful for the new Farm Park. The chicken coop seemed to rise to the top really quickly for all of us."The design features three paddocks that can be opened or closed via a central vestibule, allowing the chickens to graze in one paddock while the other paddocks regenerate, or providing a dedicated paddock for a chick hatchery. A roost located directly above a worm bin will convert chicken poop into compost. The design also has the potential to include a rainwater catchment system.

Latest Tidal power Stories
ScottishPower has announced a deal with Debenhams to supply all of its 178 properties in the UK with electricity generated from green sources.
We're starved for clean energy when it is all around us, in the air, water and even the earth. We'd have plenty if we could figure out how to collect it. But technological development must overcome some formidable challenges, especially to mine the powerful energy in water.
As the Manawatu struggles with the cumulative effect of turbines spreading across our hills, balanced against the need for renewable energy, minds begin turning to other types of energy supply, such as off-shore wind farms and tidal turbines.
ISOBEL Lindsay refers to wasting money on Trident (Letters, September 29). We have a few examples recently of how Russia treats its neighbours (and one-time allies). In the case of Ukraine and Georgia, do what you are told or big brother will sort you out.
By JOHN ROSS THE waters of the Pentland Firth are set to become the epicentre of Scotland's future in renewable energy with the equivalent power of 20 conventional stations, according to Alex Salmond, the First Minister .
By Kate Galbraith For years, technological visionaries have painted a seductive vision of using ocean tides and waves to produce power. They foresaw large installations off coastlines and in tidal estuaries that could provide as much as 10 percent of U.S. electricity needs.
New York is the site of an experiment using turbines placed in the East River to tap tidal surges to generate electricity, officials say.
By LINDA McKEE Northern Ireland will lurch from energy crisis to energy crisis unless the Executive takes immediate action to cut our reliance on imported power.
By Jerry Harkavy EASTPORT, Maine - Workers spent the past winter tinkering with high-tech turbines slung beneath a barge in the cold waters off the Maine coast before getting them to produce a modest 20 kilowatts, enough electricity to power a half-dozen homes.
By GEORGE CHAPPELL; OF THE NEWS STAFF UNION - Organizers of the first Labor Day forum on alternative energy used music and speeches to spread the word on the need to find a new source of heat besides oil.
- One who brings meat to the table; hence, in some countries, the official title of the grand master or steward of the king's or a nobleman's household.

fruits and vegetables contain a lot of water
I posted this link on the 'using a grinder' thread, and just now, looking at it again, thought it worth posting on its own. It gives the per cent water content of many fruits and vegetables. This list surprises me to the point where I'm actually a bit skeptical (hard to imagine broccoli is 91% water). Did they compare the fresh weight with the weight of the ash?
In general, though, and taking into account that peels, cores and seeds would have less % water, this info is a good reminder that produce will rot and disappear in a pile without effort on our part besides balancing them with carbons/browns.
Odd that beans are missing from the list.
Here is a link that might be useful: water content fruits vegetables
Very interesting. I would not have guessed that about broccoli either, but the type of fiber and its structure is going to affect the texture and apparent solidity of a vegetable just as much as the water content, it seems.
This analysis would be done by weighing, drying in a drying oven, then weighing again. If burned to ash you would find out only the mineral content.

This .32 ACP pistol, known as a Welrod, was used by OSS operators and resistance forces behind enemy lines during World War 2. When fired the barrel slows the release of high pressure gases and quiets the weapon.
The Welrod was issued to OSS and Jedburg teams as an assassination weapon/covert weapon for missions in Nazi-occupied Europe in WWII. READ MORE »
The Airborne & Special Operations Museum Foundation supports the museum with marketing, advertising and financial support for its programs and exhibits.

God Has a Plan

Some would like to think that the whole human race is the children of God, but not so. It is true that we are a creation of God, but from a relationship perspective, all are separated from God by sin. The Scripture tells us that before salvation we were children of wrath; "…
you were by nature children of wrath, but God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us…made us alive together with Christ
." (Ephesians 2:3-5)
When we put our trust in Christ we became someone we have never been before. We passed from death unto life. We are now a new creation with a new worldview. We once followed the world's perspective on life, now we have a new perspective.
This new perspective/worldview affects everything in our life. We now see the world through the eyes of God's Word. Our reaction to the world's disappointments and failures now has a spiritual component. We realize God is involved in every aspect of our life, and with that involvement He has a divine plan and purpose. When we hurt or suffer a great loss God is there to comfort us, but sometimes He often reveals a divine purpose in our suffering.
To illustrate my point I want to share a story recently sent to me by a dear friend. It's the story of how the old gospel song "Precious Lord" came about.
"Back in 1932, I was a fairly new husband. My wife, Nettie and I were living in a little apartment on Chicago's south side. One hot August afternoon I had to go to St. Louis where I was to be the featured soloist at a large revival meeting. I didn't want to go; Nettie was in the last month of pregnancy with our first child, but a lot of people were expecting me in St. Louis. I kissed Nettie goodbye, clattered downstairs to our Model A and, in a fresh Lake Michigan breeze, chugged out of Chicago on Route 66.
However, outside the city, I discovered that in my anxiety at leaving, I had forgotten my music case. I wheeled around and headed back. I found Nettie sleeping peacefully. I hesitated by her bed; something was strongly telling me to stay But eager to get on my way, and not wanting to disturb Nettie, I shrugged off the feeling and quietly slipped out of the room with my music.
The next night, in the steaming St. Louis heat, the crowd called on me to sing again and again. When I finally sat down, a messenger boy ran up with a Western Union telegram. I ripped open the envelope. on the yellow sheet were the words: YOUR WIFE JUST DIED.
People were happily singing and clapping around me, but I could hardly keep from crying out. I rushed to a phone and called home. All I could hear on the other end was "Nettie is dead. Nettie is dead.'"
When I got back, I learned that Nettie had given birth to a boy. I swung between grief and joy. Yet that same night, the baby died. I buried Nettie and our little boy together, in the same casket. Then I fell apart. For days I closeted myself. I felt that God had done me an injustice. I didn't want to serve Him anymore or write gospel songs I just wanted to go back to that jazz world I once knew so well. But then, as I hunched alone in that dark apartment those first sad days, I thought back to the afternoon I went to St. Louis.
Something kept telling me to stay with Nettie. Was that something God? Oh, if I had paid more attention to Him that day, I would have stayed and been with Nettie when she died.
From that moment on I vowed to listen more closely to Him. But still I was lost in grief. Everyone was kind to me, especially one friend. The following Saturday evening he took me up to Maloney's Poro College, a neighborhood music school. It was quiet; the late evening sun crept through the curtained windows.
I sat down at the piano, and my hands began to browse over the keys. Something happened to me then. I felt at peace. I felt as though I could reach out and touch God. I found myself playing a melody. Once in my head they just seemed to fall into place: 'Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn, through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light, take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.'
The Lord gave me these words and melody, He also healed my spirit. I learned that when we are in our deepest grief, when we feel farthest from God, this is when He is closest, and when we are most open to His restoring power.
And so I go on living for God willingly and joyfully, until that day comes when He will take me and gently lead me home."

(For those too young to know who he is, Tommy Dorsey was a well-known band leader in the 1930's and 40's.)

My. Oh. My.
This cheesecake-esque pie is probably the best dessert that I've had in a looooong time. It's creamy, rich, dense, strawberry-ish and incredibly delicious! It's easy to make and packed full of all the good stuff, including nuts, coconut oil, strawberries, honey and coconut. What's better still is that it's gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and soy-free) and paleo-friendly!
I've been longing to make this recipe for a long time. Continue reading

Troy Savings Bank Music Hall is known far and wide for its amazing acoustics. But who will get to take advantage of the space next?
Executive Director, Jon Elbaum, join us now to let us know who will be taking the stage in their upcoming season.
Brown's has been crafting dependable ales & lagers in the Northern Hudson Valley since 1993. From their 19th Century warehouse brewery on the Eastern shore of the mighty Hudson River, they brew a bountiful variety of well-made traditional styles with a sense of pride and dutiful conviction.
Joining us now to discuss Brown's, their growth and amazing food and drink, we welcome co-owner Kelly Brown and Brown's VP Gregg Stacy.
The Arts Center of the Capital Region engages people in the creative experience. They are the region's preeminent proponent of the arts and creative education, expression, and appreciation, serving people of all ages, abilities, and economic and cultural backgrounds.
The Arts Center of the Capital Region is a private, not-for-profit corporation that began life as the Rensselaer County Council for the Arts in 1962. In its early years, it was located in a brownstone mansion on Troy's Washington Park. Art classes were offered for the first time there in 1965, with the mansion' converted ballroom and formal dining rooms serving as an art gallery.
The Albany Symphony will welcome American pianist, Orion Weiss, who marks his third performance with the orchestra as the centerpiece of their American Music Festival Orchestra Concert on Saturday night at 7:30 PM.
Weiss joins the orchestra for Christopher Rouse's "Seeing," an extraordinary piano concerto commissioned by the New York Philharmonic for Emmanuel Ax in 1999. "Seeing" is a powerful, poignant statement on the nature of mental illness.
One of the most sought-after pianists of his generation, Orion Weiss has performed with most of America's major orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and New York Philharmonic.
The Albany Symphony's American Music Festival's Reading Sessions offer a one-of-a-kind sneak peek into the world of music today as up-and-coming composers from a competitive national selection process have their works read by an orchestra for the very first time.
Two of this year's composers are William Gardiner and Katherine Balch.
This Friday at 10pm, The Albany Symphony's American Music Festival will host R WE WHO R WE - an ongoing collaboration by composer-performers Ted Hearne and Philip White. A tribute and commentary to both classic and ephemeral artists of the pop landscape, R WE WHO R WE uses pop music like graffiti uses public space, exploiting the tension between theft and tribute.
Composer, conductor, and performer Ted Hearne joins us. He attended Manhattan School of Music and Yale School of Music, and has studied with Martin Bresnick, Aaron Jay Kernis, Ezra Laderman, David Lang, Nils Vigeland and Julia Wolfe.
The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, named a National Historic Landmark in 1989, is in use over 100 days a year. Since it opened its doors in 1875, the Hall has hosted performances by numerous world-renowned artists, including Marion Anderson, Dizzy Gillespie, Pete Seeger, Ella Fitzgerald, Isaac Stern, Yo-Yo Ma, Vladimir Horowitz, Yehudi Menuhin, and Arthur Rubenstein, among many others.
Another regular tenant is the Albany Symphony Orchestra. The hall is known far and wide for the perfect acoustics of the second floor performing space. We welcome their Executive Director, JonElbaum.
We begin our broadcast from the Albany Symphony's American Music Festival by speaking with David Alan Miller.
David Alan Miller has established a reputation as one of the leading American conductors of his generation. As Music Director of the Albany Symphony Orchestra -- a position he has held since 1992 -- he has proven himself a creative and compelling orchestra builder.
Through exploration of unusual repertoire, educational programming, community outreach and recording initiatives, he has reaffirmed the Albany Symphony's reputation as the nation's leading champion of American symphonic music and one of its most innovative orchestras.
The play "8" is written by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black and is based on interviews and transcripts from the Prop 8 trial in California after marriage equality opponents succeeded in having cameras barred from the courtroom. It is made up of interviews, news reports and court transcripts and highlights the main points which led to the court finding Proposition 8 unconstitutional.
In conjunction with RPI Community Advocates and the Pride Center, a staged reading of the play will take place at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on Friday, March 22 at 7:30pm.
Joining to tell us more, we welcome Aaron Holbritter - the shows director, Isaac Newberry as plaintiff Paul Katami and Gary Maggio as Chief Judge Vaugn Walker.

There isn't a huge stylistic gap between Steve Earle and John Hiatt, so it makes sense that they would make a good tour package (one that hits the Taft Theatre tonight for an 8 p.m. show). They're both moderately successful Americana artists with slavishly loyal fan bases and solid bodies of work over long careers (Hiatt having the earlier '70s start).
To the curious mind, the billing begs the point: What else do Earle and Hiatt have in common?
• They both began their careers as staff songwriters and launched performing careers after one of their songs became a hit for someone else (Johnny Lee for Earle, Three Dog Night for Hiatt).
• They've both been covered extensively by other artists, Earle by Travis Tritt, Robert Earl Keen and others, and Hiatt by Bonnie Raitt, Rosanne Cash, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and many more.
• They both signed with Epic Records for their first deal; Earle never recorded for them, while Hiatt did two Epic albums which sold poorly and expedited his release.
• Their second contracts were both with MCA; Earle had a pretty decent run with the label, including his 1988 hit Copperhead Road, while Hiatt's was a repeat of his Epic experience.
• They've both been nominated for Grammys, but Earle has a commanding lead with 14 nods and three wins, while Hiatt has been nominated twice with no mantle bling to show for it yet.
• They've both been married multiple times, but again Earle has the lead with seven marriages; Hiatt has only had three.
• Both have successfully dealt with substance issues.
• Both are balding; Hiatt has the lead here with more hair, but Earle compensates with a ZZ Toppish beard.
• Both will kick your ass in the live setting, so bring an extra ass.
Here's a clip for Hiatt's "Damn This Down," off his latest LP, Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns.
And here is part of a documentary filmed during Earle's sessions for I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive (also the name of his novel and, yes, both are based on the Hank Williams tune, which he covers on the album as a bonus track. The novel is centered around Williams mysterious "doctor" who traveled with the singer until his death, then disappeared).
If you were hoping to walk up and buy tickets to check out tonight's show at the Taft Theatre featuring the Grammy-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band, skip the box office and "walk up" to a scalper because the Taft just sent out a press release announcing the show as a sell out. (Read what our Brian Baker had to say about the group here.)
If you do have tickets to tonight's 8 p.m. show (doors open at 7 p.m.), be sure to arrive on time to catch opener Shannon Whitworth (pictured). After a self-made Americana debut, the singer/songwriter's career began in earnest in 2009 when she went into the studio with producer Neilson Hubbard (who has worked with a slew of singer/songwriters, including Glen Philips, Garrison Starr and his pal Matthew Ryan). The two emerged with Water Bound, a lovely, eclectic album that touched on Blues, Jazz, Roots music and Rock.
Whitworth has a new album due this year in which she collaborates with Band of Horses' bassist Bill Reynolds (who has done behind the scenes work for The Avett Bros. and Lissie), so the evolution of Ms. Whitworth should be interesting to continue to watch.
Here's a clip of Whitworth performing live:
• Jazz trumpeter Scott Belck performs tonight at the Blue Wisp. Belck is the Director of Jazz Studies at University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, where he succeeded retiring longtime department head Rick Van Matre a couple of years ago. Read our interview from last year with Belck here. For tonight's 7:30 performance at the Blue Wisp, Belck is joined by locals Rusty Holloway, Phil DeGreg and Jim Leslie. Admission is $5.
• The 2012 Tunes & Blooms music series at the Cincinnati Zoo concludes tonight with a 6 p.m. concert featuring Folk Rock crew The Turkeys and Americana ensemble Jake Speed & the Freddies. Admission is free but it costs $8 to park in a zoo lot. It might rain. Bring a hat.
Here's a clip from a documentary about late local outsider artist Raymond Thunder-Sky featuring Speed's song, "Raymond Thunder-Sky," especially audible towards the end. Looks and sounds like a great project.
Click here for more of tonight's live music events.
Music Tonight: Cleveland Art Punk band HotChaCha bring its dancey Post Punk rhythms and soulful melodies to Newport's Southgate House tonight, playing the club's Parlour room. The show is the fourth date on the Northern Ohio foursome's extensive nationwide run with eclectic upstate New York Indie septet Summer People (which has been compared to The Cramps and Nick Cave), promoting the two bands' split 12-inch EP release, Do It. The vinyl release is a limited edition, but in cyberspace, there are no limits, so give the EP a listen here.
Cincinnati homeboys Walk the Moon have been tearing up the road since the release of their self-titled debut for RCA Records earlier this year, not to mention making the promo rounds all over the television dial (from the late-night chat shows to various appearances on VH1 and an MTV Unplugged set). The band is currently touring Europe with the band fun. ("We Are Young") and this morning they debuted the music video for their latest single, "Tightrope."
The video is Walk the Moon's first since the stellar DIY clip for "Anna Sun," which was made even before the RCA deal was in place and continues to draw massive hits online. If you watch even a few minutes of TV a week, chances are you've already heard part of "Tightrope." The track is used in commercials for the HP Envy 4 Ultrabook.
When Walk the Moon wraps up its current European jaunt, they'll perform a homecoming show Nov. 1 at the Madison Theater in Covington. The show is also the second anniversary of The Counter Rhythm Group, the locally-based music promo group that has worked with WTM, as well as local bands like Wussy, R. Ring and Alone at 3AM. Tickets for the Nov. 1 show are $16 and apparently moving very fast (i.e. it will sell out). Fellow local-gone-national Indie act Bad Veins opens the show. WTM hits the road for a North American headlining tour soon after the Madison show.
Here's Walk the Moon's new clip.
And here's the HP commercial featuring a bit of the tune.
On this date in 1949, American musical icon Hank Williams made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 25. It was the beginning of a very difficult relationship.
Even though things soured, Williams' Opry debut was a career-defining moment. The singer/songwriter wowed the crowd so much, he was called back for six encores (the encores ultimately had to be halted so the rest of the show could go on).
Williams' reputation for heavy drinking put off the Opry initially, but as his star continued to rise — boosted by the success of "Lovesick Blues" (recorded at the Herzog studio here in CIncinnati) — the Country music institution finally relented and invited him to perform.
Williams continued to make Opry appearances over the next three years, but he was banished in 1952 for his alcohol-related issues. Hank died just a few months later, in January of 1953 at the age of 29.
Over the past eight or so years, Hank Williams' grandson, Hank III, and other supporters have participated in a campaign to have Williams posthumously reinstated to the Grand Ole Opry. CityBeat also lent a hand, promoting the "Reinstate Hank" campaign during a tribute presented by the Cincinnati USA Music Heritage Foundation in honor of Hank's historic recording sessions in Cincinnati (Herzog studios was located where CityBeat and the CMHF headquarters now reside). Check a clip below.
The reinstatement campaign has yet to work and seems to have lost some steam. But click here to learn more about the attempts to right such a ridiculous wrong.
Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing a June 11 birthday include the least hirsute (ironically!) member of ZZ Top, drummer Frank Beard (1949); Soft Rock god with Air Supply, Graham Russell (1950); guitarist/singer of Southern Rock group .38 Special, Donnie Van Zandt (1952); Flaming Lips drummer-turned-guitarist Steven Drozd (1969); and Heartless Bastards singer/guitarist Erika Wennerstrom (1977).
Though she and her band are currently based in Austin, Tex., Wennerstrom grew up in Dayton before relocating to Cincinnati. As Wennerstrom has grown, matured, changed and become more confident, so has her band's music. After releasing her first two albums, Wennerstrom headed to Texas and retooled the band, adding two different musicians also from our area — Jesse Ebaugh and Dave Colvin — who joined Wennerstrom in Austin. Since then, the Bastards' albums The Mountain (a more earthy, less balls-out effort) and this year's Arrow (a great combination of everything the band does well) have continued the trend of each successive HB album drawing the group higher praise and more fans.
A happy 35th b-day to Erika. We miss you here in Cincy. Below, check out an interview and acoustic session recorded for American Songwriter.
After a successful screening of an acclaimed Sigur Ros concert film recently, the Contemporary Arts Center is showing another concert flick soon, this time on the same night as dozens of theaters nationwide. On July 18, the CAC is listed as one of the venues screening Shut Up and Play the Hits, the much anticipated concert film/documentary that follows LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy as he preps for his band's final ever concerts, which took place at Madison Square Garden last spring.
The film will be in theaters (or art museums, in our case) for one night only, then presumably be issued on DVD. (No release date on that yet.)
Tickets for most screenings go on sale June 8. Click here for updates. The film will be shown at the CAC at 9 p.m. and accompanied by a DJ set.
Here's the superb trailer for Shut Up and Play the Hits.
Music Tonight: It's a fittingly slow Monday for concerts, as touring bands gradually make their way back to the road after the Thanksgiving weekend. But that doesn't mean there's no live music in the area tonight. You can dance the Mondays away, Salsa-style, at The Mad Frog in Corryville, as Latin ensemble Tropicoso continues its long-running Monday night residency. Or you can enjoy some yummy, spicy grub and check out Gypsy Jazz kings The Faux Frenchmen at Allyn's Cafe in Columbia-Tusculum, one of the quartet's regular gigs. One residency that is coming to an end is Slack Panther's Monday night showcase at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine. The new local Indie Rock crew has been the club's November "House Band," so their every-Monday concludes tonight. The foursome — whose Facebook description claims "post-grunge neo wave" as the band's genre — released the eight-song Love Space Desire Forever Love Heartache Longing Cincinnati this year. It's available at the popular rate of "name your price" on the Slack Panther Bandcamp site here. Below, give a listen to the track "Brightest Star." The band performs two sets at MOTR tonight, starting at 10 p.m. The show is free.
Music Tonight: Say goodbye to August tonight with some classic Hip Hop at Bogart's, one of many recent and upcoming Hip Hop shows from the longstanding Corryville concert venue. Rock the Bells began seven years ago as a stand-alone Hip Hop festival in California, but today the brand has been expanded to included RTB package tours and smaller club tours, like the one in town tonight.
Music Tonight: Though they moved their world headquarters to Austin, Tex., a while back, The Heartless Bastards will always be a Cincinnati band in the minds of both their local fans and the band members themselves (band leader Erika Wennerstrom said as much when the group performed on David Letterman's show a couple years ago). And they always keep Cincinnati in mind when plotting out tour jaunts, including their current all-acoustic jag, which brings them to the Southgate House tonight. R. Ring, the acoustic duo project featuring local musician/engineer Mike Montgomery (Thistle, Ampline) and Dayton's Kelley Deal (The Breeders), warm things up at 9 p.m.
Today in 1996, one of the greatest, most influential bassists ever, Bernard Edwards of Disco/Funk group Chic, passed away after contracting pneumonia while on tour in Japan.
My personal favorite bass line is Sly Stone's lick on "If You Want Me to Stay," but it's hard to deny the power of Chic's "Good Times," a Disco-era hit that helped lay the groundwork for Hip Hop. Edwards' bass line from the song is considered one of the most sampled pieces of music ever and it has been mimicked almost as often. Songs that wouldn't exist with Edwards' riff include Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust," Hip Hop trailblazers Sugarhill Gang's breakthrough "Rapper's Delight," Blondie's "Rapture," Daft Punk's "Around the World" and Wham!'s "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" (hey, they can't all be winners).
R.I.P Bernard Edwards. And thanks for the groove.

Teacher Used Facebook to Solicit Sex from Students at Mavericks High (Where Joe Biden's Brother Is Spokesman)
A teacher at Mavericks Charter High School in Pompano Beach -- a school Joe Biden's brother once called "a hope factory" that would "save the country" -- was arrested Thursday for using Facebook to solicit sex from at least four students ranging in ages 15 to 17.
According to a Broward Sheriff's Office news release, the teacher invited students to her Boca Raton home, and offered them pot. She also allegedly sent messages such as, "I don't want you to fall in love with me but I also don't want you to hit it and quit it either".
According to the BSO, Stevie Glasspool, 31, was arrested on Thursday and is charged with "soliciting a child for unlawful sexual conduct using a computer."
Glasspool had been a teacher at Mavericks Charter High, but was fired back in May . She was most recently employed at Hollywood Academy of Arts & Science where she worked for the first four days of the new school year.
This isn't the first time Mavericks has been at the center of controversy.
In May of 2012, New Times reported that the school faced three whistle-blower lawsuits alleging that two of its schools inflated attendance records and improperly altered grades.
In February of 2012, the Palm Beach County School Board denied Maverick's request to open three new schools, basically because the for-profit company's claims about its academic achievements could not be verified. A number of the Mavericks schools have graduation rates below 15 percent.
The company used Vice President Joe Biden's brother, Frank, as a spokesperson to try and help them get those three schools built.
In other words, Mavericks has a long history of being a total and complete mess.
As for Glasspool and her underage victims, BSO detectives believe there could be more of them out there, and are urging them to come forward.
Glasspool is being held in the Broward County jail in lieu of $25,000 bond.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact BSO Detective Ann Suter at 954-321-4689 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
