The following is an email sent to me from a friend. I often enjoy Ben Stein's take on things and this is a good one. It actually choked me up a little.
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession :
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don ' t feel threatened. I don ' t feel discriminated against. That ' s what they are: Christmas trees.
It doesn ' t bother me a bit when people say, ' Merry Christmas ' to me. I don ' t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn ' t bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu If people want a crèche, it ' s just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don ' t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don ' t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can ' t find it in the Constitution and I don ' t like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren ' t allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that ' s a sign that I ' m getting old, too.. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it ' s not funny, it ' s intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham ' s daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her ' How could God let something like this happen? ' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, ' I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we ' ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone? '
In light of recent events… terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O ' Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn ' t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn ' t spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr Spock ' s son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he ' s talking about. And we said OK.
Now we ' re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don ' t know right from wrong, and why it doesn ' t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with ' WE REAP WHAT WE SOW. '
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world ' s going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send ' jokes ' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you ' re not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it… no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don ' t sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein
I've been involved with the UCAR Tech Fair for several years now. I was the committee chair last year which was fun. This year, it is even more fun to be just a committee member. The event is coming up after another year of hard work and I am looking forward to it.
I never considered myself a "Techie" person. In fact, I've always said I am computer illiterate but after doing the Tech Fair three years running, I realize how techie illiterate so many other people are, and amazingly, I am sometimes the one that seems to have the answers.
Ok, I'm not going to be too full of myself. There will always be people like Rod Fife, Harry
Rodas, and many others on these committees with me that are just so…well, far more advanced than I am or ever will be. Thank goodness!
I just had a conversation today with a member of my church and offered myself to help the seemingly many other women in my church that seem to really struggle with the most basic aspects of technology. I surprise myself to find, me of all people, feeling confident enough to offer to teach a few classes on the basics. I don't know what will come of my offer but I felt strongly that it is important for us to know some of these things to enhance our lives.
Three years ago, it would have never happened. It feels good to know that this old dog can still learn a few new tricks…, then be willing to teach them to others. It's never too late to learn.
Business Week Magazine did an article on Utah's new health reform plan. They quoted my husband, Dave Jackson in the article as he has played a vital role in writing and implementing the plan.

Brother mprint MW-140BT printer
4.5 out of 5 Pocket-lint recommended
Gives you a way to print from your PDA
Shaky Mac support at launch
The first printer I ever owned was a dot matrix device that was roughly the size of a vacuum cleaner. The additional spiral bound box of paper was the size of most desktop computers and all together it needed its own stand in the corner of the room. 15 years later, Brother's latest printer fits in my jacket pocket. Times have most definitely changed.
The MW-140BT is a sleek metal-cased unit that measures just 100x160x17.5mm and weight a paltry 300g including battery and paper. Quick readers among you will have already worked out that this isn't A4, it's A7 in fact, and the unit is still only capable of producing black and white prints by a thermal line head process.
Building on Brother's m-Print range of printers the shape and design hasn't changed. The exciting element of this version therefore is the addition of Bluetooth to the unit making it more portable than ever with Pocket PC units. For those still lacking Bluetooth, a USB cable is supplied to connect it to a PC and unfortunately for Mac users while the Bluetooth enabled units will recognise it, the lack of printer driver support excludes the USB option.
To add portability of it all, the unit's powered by a concealed rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
Paper is available in five different sizes and prices range from £2.50 to £5.50 for 50 sheets. The largest is A7 (74x105mm) with a printable area of 69x100mm - the software will shrink an A4 document to fit, however be prepared to get your glasses out. Other options include labels, cut labels - 2 per A7 sheet, cut labels - 4 per sheet (both ideal for addresses), and carbon copy paper.
The printer is capable of a mono resolution of 300x300 dpi and while some commentators have issues with thermal printing, the level that you would use this for, ie notes and labelling the results are perfectly satisfactory.

Arizona Cardinals
Aeneas Williams named 2013 Hall of Fame finalist
The Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee has unveiled their list of 15 modern-day finalists for induction into Canton in 2013, and among those finalists is former Arizona Cardinals cornerback Aeneas Williams.
Williams, 44, was a third round pick by the Phoenix Cardinals in 1991 out of Southern University and made his mark immediately, starting 15 games and intercepting six passes in his rookie season.
The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Williams went on to play ten seasons with the Cardinals, and went to six Pro Bowls during that decade. He is second on the Cardinals all-time list with 46 interceptions, and his six interception returns for touchdowns is a team record.
He was inducted to the Cardinals' Ring of Honor in 2008.
After his time in the desert, Williams ended his career in St. Louis and helped the Rams win an NFC Championship in his first season there. They'd go on to lose to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI.
Williams ranks tied for 19th on the all-time NFL list with 55 interceptions. He was one of ten finalists for induction into the Hall of Fame last season.
This year's list of finalists also includes first-year nominees Jonathan Ogden, Warren Sapp and Michael Strahan.
Former Arizona State standout Curley Culp, who played with the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Oilers during a 14-year career, was selected as a finalist by the Hall of Fame Seniors Committee.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Phoenix news helicopter pilot hosts online Q&A while airborne
The last day on the job is a big deal for anyone.
After all, it gives you the opportunity to give that one final speech, that one last memento or that big sign-off. And what better way to leave a job than to host an online question-and-answer session from thousands of feet above the Phoenix area?
That's what Bruce Haffner, a helicopter pilot and reporter at KTVK-TV did Friday. He posted an "AMA" (ask me anything) on the popular website Reddit.
The thread quickly rose to the top of the page and, at one point, included thousands of participants. They asked various questions, from "Any cool stories? Insane? Funny?" to "How often do you use the expression 'Get to the chopper?'"
Some, however, focused on the tragedy of 2007 when two news helicopters collided during a police chase. Haffner didn't touch much on it, other than to say safety procedures were updated.
A few more even shared kind memories with Haffner of him speaking at their school.
Haffner left KTVK Friday after his contract expired.

Despite a lower cost of petrol and diesel the transport index went up due to high fares associated with Christmas festivities.

BBC Symphony Orchestra
The BBC Symphony Orchestra has played a central role at the heart of British musical life since its inception in 1930, and as the flagship orchestra of the BBC provides the backbone of the BBC Proms with at least a dozen concerts each year, including the First and Last Nights. Strongly committed to twentieth-century and contemporary music, it has given the premiere of more than 1,000 works by composers such as Bartók, Britten, Hindemith, Holst, Stravinsky and Shostakovich, and more recently has premiered BBC commissions by Simon Bainbridge, Jonathan Dove, Michael Nyman and Sir John Tavener among others. Its annual season of concerts as Associate Orchestra of the Barbican includes a weekend each January focusing upon a single composer from the twentieth or twenty-first century, most recently James MacMillan, Elliott Carter and Sofia Gubaidulina.
Jiří Bĕlohlávek took up the post of Chief Conductor in July 2006 and David Robertson was appointed Principal Guest Conductor in 2005. The BBC SO works frequently with Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis and Artist-in-Association John Adams. All concerts are broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and a number are televised, giving the BBC Symphony Orchestra the highest broadcast profile of any orchestra in the UK. The BBC SO is committed to innovative education work, with ongoing projects including the BBC SO Family Orchestra and Music Intro, introducing families to concert-going.
The BBC SO has appeared on 34 of NMC's CDs, including the best-selling recording of Elgar's Third Symphony.

At Bellevue, the Redmen wrestlers pulled out a slim 33-27 victory over non-conference rival Clyde Wednesday that came down to the final match of the night.
"We knew coming in it was going to be tough to come away with a win," Redmen coach Paul Zulman said. "Clyde's got a heck of a team. We had to seize opportunities where we could. We had some kids that came away with a few important wins, and that's what it came down to."
Going into the final match in the 189-pound weight class, Bellevue held a slim 30-27 lead. Jake Miller finished the dual for the Redmen with a win over Clyde's Josh Trick, who had defeated Miller in the Clyde Dale Carroll Invitational just two weeks earlier. Trick was within a point in the third period, but Miller was able to hold him off for the win.
"It took a lot of heart to go out there and wreste six minutes and come out with a win," Zulman said.
Clyde finished second in the Sandusky Bay Conference Duals last weekend with a 6-1 finish, while Bellevue was fourth in the Northern Ohio League.
"It was a big morale booster," Zulman said. "We haven't had much luck with our dual schedule [Bellevue is 6-6 in duals], because of our inability to fill weightclasses.
"We've been piecing together our lineup to do the best we can, and it was a good night for us."
Clyde took a three-point lead, 24-21, following the 145-pound class, the 10th match of the night. Bellevue responded with back-to-back wins -- a pin by Matt Zenowicz at 152 and a 7-1 decision by Chris Moore at 160.
"When you wrestle your rival, you expect it to come down to the last match," Clyde coach Rob Jennings said. "We just ended up on the wrong end of it.
"It wasn't from lack of effort. We just didn't execute as well as well as we can."
Bellevue's Nick Mazzaro started the night with a pin of Dan Darr in 4:08. Casey Dodson took 119, Damon Cheek 130, Matt Zenowicz 152 and Chris Moore 160 before Miller's decisive win at 189.
The Bellevue varsity wrestlers are off until next Wednesday when they and Sandusky travel to Oak Harbor for a tri-match.

Guerra, Fox, Bellamy go 2-0 for SMCC
The Panthers' Alex Guerra, Brandon Fox and Kody Bellamy went 2-0 in St. Mary Central Catholic's tri-match with Tiffin Columbian at Genoa.
Fox, battling back from an illness, fought back from a 2-0 deficit against Columbian's Jacob Smith for the 7-4 victory. He followed that with a 4-0 decision over Genoa's Mike Snider.
"He's coming along, getting back in shape. He got taken down in the first match, 2-0, fought back for the 7-4 win," Bellamy said. "In the second match had early takedown and won, 4-0."
Guerra took a 5-0 decision over Genoa's Max Reeder and pinned Austen Molyet in his second match in 3:50
Kody Bellamy scored 11 points for the Panthers in two matches. He won his match over Genoa's Nick Keller in an 18-2 tech fall and finished his night with a second-round pin (3:35) of Columbian's Kyle Marquis.

Huron takes two in home quad
In Huron, the Tiger wrestlers took advantage of forfeits in big wins over Fremont St. Joseph and Woodmore.
Jordan Romick (23-7), a week after dropping into the 189-pound weight class from 215, scored two first-round pins for the Tigers. He took down St. Joe's Jacob Widman in 45 seconds and Woodmore's Spencer Linke in 1:23.
"Romick looks really good, dropping from 215 to 189," Huron coach Rob Majoy said. "He looked really good at the (Sandusky Bay Conference) Duals, his first time down. Tonight he had two wins, fairly quick pins."
Huron heavyweight Nino Majoy (27-2), who passed the career 100-win mark over the weekend in the Sandusky Bay Conference duals, pinned St. Joe's Brandon Steinberger in 3:47. The Tiger junior also took a forfeit against Woodmore.
Huron scored 18 points by forfeit against the Crimson Streaks and avoided giving points back with double forfeits at 112 and 119. The Tigers won five matches by forfeit against Woodmore with a double forfeit at 119.

Qatar Prime Minister Opposes Any Kind of Action Against Iran
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Qatar Prime Minister said he wouldn't like "any kind of action against Iran" and hopes the conflict over the nation's nuclear program can be resolved diplomatically after the European Union agreed to ban oil imports from the Islamic Republic.
"We here, in Qatar, are very keen to see the diffusing of this tension, we are working for that," Hamad Bin Jasim Bin Jaber al Thani told reporters in the Qatari capital Doha.
European Union foreign ministers agreed to ban oil imports from Iran starting July 1 to pressure the Persian Gulf nation to curtail its nuclear program, the 27-nation bloc said in a statement. European countries and the U.S. accuse Iran of seeking to develop atomic weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is strictly for energy.
Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a seaway linking the Persian Gulf with the Indian Ocean, if sanctions are imposed on its oil. Qatar, the world's biggest producer of liquefied natural gas, ships nearly all its LNG and crude oil through the strait to markets around the world.
"Hormuz is an international passageway and I think it's in the benefit of all that this passage stays open for the economy, for the world," the prime minister said.

Buffalo Pattiesuser rating
D'Artagnan buffalo are raised in Canada to exacting specifications on a 100% vegetarian diet, in a clean and natural environment, without the use of chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or steroids. The buffalo burgers are minimally processed with no artificial ingredients or water added, so you enjoy 100% pure buffalo and nothing else.
Prepare buffalo burgers rare to medium rare, cooking at lower temperatures than you would beef burgers. For grilling, brush the burgers lightly with oil and use the cooler part of the grill. Spice up their rich, juicy flavor with a little salsa instead of ketchup.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 24, 7:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Alaska Airlines Arena (10,000) -- Seattle, Washington. Television: Pac-12 Network. Home Record: CSU 2-0, Washington 1-1. Away Record: CSU 1-0, Washington 0-0. Neutral Record: CSU 0-0, Washington 1-1. Conference Record: CSU 0-0, Washington 0-0. Series Record: Series is tied, 1-1.
GAME NOTES: The Colorado State Rams venture outside of the Centennial State for the first time this season, as they put their unblemished record on the line in the Pacific Northwest on Saturday against the Washington Huskies.
Larry Eustachy's debut season in Fort Collins couldn't have started much better, as the team has opened with three straight wins, taking down Montana (72-65) and Chadron State (93-50) at home, before besting Denver on the road on Wednesday, 60-53.
Lorenzo Romar's Huskies have split their four games on the year, going 1-1 at home against Loyola-Maryland (85-63 win) and Albany (63-62 loss), prior to splitting a pair of games against Seton Hall (84-73 overtime win) and Ohio State 77-66 loss) as part of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off.
These two team have split a pair of meetings all-time, but those contests occurred in the early 1960s.
It certainly wasn't Colorado State's best offensive performance, but the Rams made up for it with stifling defense, limiting the hometown Pioneers to a mere 53 points on just 29.5 percent shooting, while outrebounding Denver 47-33. Colton Iverson and Dorian Green led the way offensively for CSU, finishing with 16 points apiece. Iverson completed a double-double with 13 rebounds. Wes Eikmeier added 13 points in support, while Pierce Hornung finished with eight points and 11 rebounds.
Colorado State has been solid at both ends of the floor this season, boasting of a +19.0 scoring margin, averaging 75.0 ppg, while giving up just 56.0 ppg. The real strength has been on the glass, where the team owns an impressive +17.0 rebounding margin. Iverson, a transfer from Minnesota, has made an immediate impact, leading the team in both scoring and rebounding with a double-double of 17.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. He is the only current Ram averaging double figures in scoring, as Green is next in line at 9.0 ppg. Hornung (7.7 ppg) gives Colorado State another imposing figure on the glass at 12.0 rpg.
The Huskies went 9-of-18 from behind the arc and shot .479 from the floor overall, but it wasn't enough in an 11-point loss to the fourth-ranked Buckeyes. C.J. Wilcox led the way in defeat with 18 points. Fellow guards Abdul Gaddy and Scott Suggs chipped in with 15 and 11 points, respectively. Center Aziz N'Diaye just missed a double-double with nine points and 11 boards.
Washington has been a solid offensive team as well, delivering on a healthy 48.8 percent from the floor, including an impressive 42.2 percent from long range (27-of-64). Scoring depth is solid with four of the five starters averaging double digits. Gaddy leads the way with 16.0 ppg. Wilcox is a close second at 15.5 ppg as the pair have combined for 16 of the team's 27 3- pointers. N'Diaye has been a force in the paint, averaging a double-double with 11.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. Suggs rounds out the top scoring threats at 10.3 ppg.
The Huskies have already lost at home once this season and the way Colorado State is playing right now, Washington may have to deal with another loss on its home floor.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Colorado State 74, Washington 71

The Wild Cherry or Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) is a species of cherry, native to Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia, from the British Isles south to Morocco and Tunisia, north to the Trondheimsfjord region in Norway and east to southern Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, the Caucasus, and northern Iran, with a small disjunct population in the western Himalaya.
It is a deciduous tree growing to 15-32 m tall, with a trunk up to 1.5 m diameter. Young trees show strong apical dominance with a straight trunk and symmetrical conical crown, becoming rounded to irregular on old trees. The bark is smooth purplish-brown with prominent horizontal grey-brown lenticels on young trees, becoming thick dark blackish-brown and fissured on old trees. The leaves are alternate, simple ovoid-acute, 7–14 cm long and 4–7 cm broad, glabrous matt or sub-shiny green above, variably finely downy beneath, with a serrated margin and an acuminate tip, with a green or reddish petiole 2–3.5 cm long bearing two to five small red glands. The tip of each serrated edge of the leaves also bear small red glands. In autumn, the leaves turn orange, pink or red before falling. The flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as the new leaves, borne in corymbs of two to six together, each flower pendent on a 2–5 cm peduncle, 2.5–3.5 cm diameter, with five pure white petals, yellowish stamens, and a superior ovary; they are hermaphroditic, and pollinated by bees. The fruit is a drupe 1–2 cm in diameter (larger in some cultivated selections), bright red to dark purple when mature in mid summer, edible, variably sweet to somewhat astringent and bitter to eat fresh; it contains a single hard-shelled stone 8–12 mm long, 7–10 mm wide and 6–8 mm thick, grooved along the flattest edge; the seed (kernel) inside the stone is 6–8 mm long. The fruit are readily eaten by numerous birds and mammals, which digest the fruit flesh and disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some rodents, and a few birds (notably the Hawfinch), also crack open the stones to eat the kernel inside. All parts of the plant except for the ripe fruit are slightly toxic, containing cyanogenic glycosides.
The tree exudes a gum from wounds in the bark, by which it seals the wounds to exclude insects and fungal infections.
Wild Cherry has been known as Gean or Mazzard, both largely obsolete names in modern English, though more recently 'Mazzard' has been used to refer to a selected self-fertile cultivar that comes true from seed, and which is used as a seedling rootstock for fruiting cultivars. The name "wild cherry" has also been applied in a general or colloquial sense to other species of Prunus growing in their native habitats, particularly to Black Cherry Prunus serotina.
Some eighteenth and nineteenth century botanical authors ascribed an origin to western Asia based on the writings of Pliny; however, archaeological finds of seeds from prehistoric Europe contradict this view (see below).
Prunus avium means "bird cherry" in the Latin language, a translation by Linnaeus of the species' Danish and German names (Fugle-Kirsebær, Vogel-Kirsche, respectively). In English, the name Bird Cherry refers to Prunus padus.
Wild Cherries have been an item of human food for several thousands of years. The stones have been found in deposits at bronze age settlements throughout Europe, including in Britain. In one dated example, Wild Cherry macrofossils were found in a core sample from the detritus beneath a dwelling at an Early and Middle Bronze Age pile-dwelling site on and in the shore of a former lake at Desenzano del Garda or Lonato, near the southern shore of Lake Garda, Italy. The date is estimated at Early Bronze Age IA, carbon dated there to 2077 plus or minus 10 B.C. The natural forest was largely cleared at that time.
By 800 BC, cherries were being deliberately cultivated in Turkey, and soon after in Greece.
As the ancestor of the cultivated sweet cherry, the Wild Cherry is one of the two cherry species which supply most of the world's commercial cultivars of edible cherry (the other is the Sour Cherry Prunus cerasus, mainly used for cooking; a few other species have had a very small input). Various cherry cultivars are now grown world-wide wherever the climate is suitable; the number of cultivars is now very large. The species has also escaped from cultivation and become naturalised in some temperate regions, including southwestern Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and the northeast and northwest of the United States.
Two interspecific hybrids, P. x schmittii (P. avium x P. canescens) and P. x fontenesiana (P. avium x P. mahaleb) are also grown as ornamental trees.
The hard, reddish-brown wood (cherry wood) is valued as a hardwood for turnery, and making cabinets and musical instruments.
The gum from bark wounds is aromatic and can be chewed as a substitute for chewing gum.
Medicine can be prepared from the stalks of the drupes that is astringent, antitussive, and diuretic.
A green dye can also be prepared from the plant.
He goes so far as to say that before the Roman consul Lucius Licinius Lucullus defeated Mithridates in 74 BC, Cerasia ... non fuere in Italia, "There were no cherry trees in Italy". According to him, Lucullus brought them in from Pontus and in the 120 years since that time they had spread across Europe to Britain.
Seeds of a number of cherry species have however been found in bronze age and Roman archaeological sites throughout Europe. The reference to "sweet" and "sour" supports the modern view that "sweet" was Prunus avium; there are no other candidates among the cherries found. In 1882 Alphonse de Candolle pointed out that seeds of Prunus avium were found in the Terramare culture of north Italy (1500-1100 BC) and over the layers of the Swiss pile dwellings. Of Pliny's statement he says (p. 210):
Since this error is perpetuated by its incessant repetition in classical schools, it must once more be said that cherry trees (at least the bird cherry) existed in Italy before Lucullus, and that the famous gourmet did not need to go far to seek the species with the sour or bitter fruit.De Candolle suggests that what Lucullus brought back was a particular cultivar of Prunus avium from the Caucasus. The origin of cultivars of P. avium is still an open question. Modern cultivated cherries differ from wild ones in having larger fruit, 2–3 cm diameter. The trees are often grown on dwarfing rootstocks to keep them smaller for easier harvesting.

Shrinking Muscles
The average guy loses 6 pounds of muscle by the time he's 50. But, in addition to lifting weights, you can protect your hard-earned muscles by feeding them a steady supply of high-quality protein.
The fix: Tuna. Ounce for ounce, it's one of the best sources of protein—and contains zero saturated fat. To grill your way to a better body, follow this muscle-building recipe from Men's Health cover model Gregg Avedon.
Brush a 6-ounce tuna steak with olive oil, lightly season it with freshly ground pepper, and place it on a preheated grill. Grill until medium-rare to medium, for 7 to 10 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl, and microwave the ingredients for 30 seconds. When the tuna is ready to eat, drizzle a small amount of the warm sauce on top. For a perfect complement, pair the tuna with ½ cup of wild rice.

A film is a terrible thing to waste. For Roman Coppola to waste one on "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III" is a sad sight to behold. I'll go further. For Charlie Sheen to waste a role in it is also a great pity.
I stop not: For Bill Murray to occupy his time in this dreck sandwich is a calamity. Of Charlie Sheen, we've seen more than enough, at least until he gets his act together. But there's a sad shortage of Bill Murray performances, and his work here is telephoned in as if Thomas Alva Edison had never been born.
Sheen plays a caricature of his public persona in a production design beyond his wildest dreams. Elliot Hostetter. Remember that name. The feverish colors and images that he conjures up in "Charles Swan" are the reason I kept watching, ready to examine every scene for its look but not its content. At times I caught myself trying to look beyond the actors, annoyed that they were blocking valuable background space.
Every detail has been pushed to 11 on the "Spinal Tap" scale. Take Charles' classic Cadillac. Its seductive curves have been restored not merely to how it looked coming off the assembly line, but to represent how it looked in its designer's imagination. On one side, Charles has painted two eggs. On the other side, two strips of bacon. What were you expecting? A horse and carriage?
Near the beginning of the story, Charles' girlfriend, Ivana (Katheryn Winnick), leaves him. So distraught is he that he packs her shoes in a plastic bag and hurls them over the side of Mulholland Drive. This sets in motion a chain of events that ends with the Cadillac parked in a swimming pool with Charles inside. I pitied the automobile.
Swan the Third owns a design studio, that, in the 1970s Pop Art style, has a giant toothbrush leaning against a wall. The loss of Ivana leads to him indulging an orgy of the sexual hunger that must have inspired her exit through the gift shop. Curiously, although he encounters countless beautiful scantily undressed young women in both life and his fantasies, his primary object doesn't seem to be the stake but the sizzle. Scantily Attired. You remember her. On the old Bob and Ray radio program, she was the never-heard twin sister of Natalie Attired.
After the swimming pool incident, Charles suffers an unspecified chest attack, and experiences hallucinations. One involves Ivana's group, the Secret Society of Ball Busters. In one hallucination, Charles and his best friend, Kirby (Jason Schwartzman), are on horseback in the Old West and come upon Ivana and other almost nude Indian maidens who beckon them forward before warrior women on horseback attack them with bows and arrows.
That's when we see Charles' agent, Saul (Bill Murray), step forward to offer advice. The name Saul is possibly a homage to the great designer Saul Bass, which may be obscure for today's audiences but nowhere near as obscure for them to recall that Charles Swan is the name of the hero of Marcel Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past."
Watching the movie, I found myself thinking at the screen: Give it up, Charlie Sheen. It's getting old. The purpose of this film didn't last long enough for it to justify being released.

moreThe study of permutation patterns is a thriving area of combinatorics that relates to many other areas of mathematics, including graph theory, enumerative combinatorics, model theory, the theory of automata and languages, and bioinformatics. Arising from the Fifth International Conference on Permutation Patterns, held in St Andrews in June 2007, this volume contains a mixture of survey and research articles by leading experts, and includes the two invited speakers, Martin Klazar and Mike Atkinson. Together, the collected articles cover all the significant strands of current research: structural methods and simple patterns, generalisations of patterns, various enumerative aspects, machines and networks, packing, and more. Specialists in this area and other researchers in combinatorics and related fields will find much of interest in this book. In addition, the volume provides plenty of material accessible to advanced undergraduates and is a suitable reference for projects and dissertations. less

I suddenly liked the subject – the Centre of the City! I liked the going downhill of Moore Street [now Martin Place], the feeling that the Post Office at the bottom was the centre of the city, the people hurrying about. (Then I was interested in outside things, what people did and what was happening ...)
Grace Cossington Smith, 1971
'Centre of a city' was a groundbreaking painting by Grace Cossington Smith, both in terms of its subject and her approach to it. It was painted at a time when Cossington Smith was commuting regularly to art classes in the city from her home at Turramurra on the North Shore. The radiant blue sky and rosy glow of buildings signal her increasing affection for the city, which reached its climax in her paintings of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the late 1920s.

Girls tennis primer
THUNDER INVITATIONAL: Mountain View's annual tournament is branching out this season. Clark County teams such as Skyview, Prairie, Columbia River and Hudson's Bay will be joined by Bellarmine Prep of Tacoma, Bainbridge Island, and Todd Beamer of Federal Way. The tournament is March 22-23.
YOUNG GUNS: Freshmen shined at state last year. Now, they're sophomores: Skyview's Sammi Hampton, Prairie's Akari Baba, and Camas' Esther Kwon. Kwon placed eighth in 3A singles.
TOUGH 4A GSHL: With Camas moving to Class 4A, Union, Camas and Skyview will be battling it out for the league title. In addition to Hampton, Skyview also returns a two-time doubles state qualifier in senior Kristina Metz.
MENTALLY TOUGH: Prairie should not only have a good team, but they've got the brains to match. The average GPA of the Falcons' top 11 players is 3.728. Two players have 4.0s (Baba and Becky Shirley) and six players have a GPA of 3.831 or better.
Sammi Hampton described it as nerve-racking, and she is the one who won in straight sets.
Akari Baba said it was an honor to be part of such a prestigious match.
Hampton, a sophomore from Skyview, defeated Baba, a sophomore from Prairie, 6-0, 6-0 Wednesday in what was the first regular-season match pitting defending state champions from Clark County.
"It's a little bit nerve-racking at the beginning," Hampton said. "You're battling a state champion. You don't know who's going to win."
"I didn't feel like I played my best tennis, but obviously that's because's she's way better than me," Baba said after the match.
Hampton went undefeated as a freshman, losing one set all season in winning the Class 4A state singles title.
Akari won a Class 3A state doubles title with her sister Shiori. Now that Shiori has graduated, Akari is playing singles this season.
With Prairie taking on Skyview in a non-league match Wednesday, their coaches put their No. 1 players up against each other.
"It makes me feel very proud of the caliber of athletes that Clark County can produce," Prairie coach Chris Linquist said.
She has been coaching at Prairie for 29 years and said she could not recall a match of defending champions. A quick search of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Associations's tournament history showed that of the handful of Clark County athletes who have won tennis titles, none of them overlapped in the same year and faced each other the next season.
"It's awesome for the sport of tennis," Skyview coach Jay Gowen said. "It highlights two bright, rising stars who choose to represent their schools. They could do what a lot of (elite) people do and not play high school tennis. They represent what's good about high school tennis."
Both athletes are excellent students, and their coaches say the grace and sportsmanship they show on and off the court are qualities that will not be shown on the results page of the Sports section.
"She's the nicest kid I've ever coached, and obviously she's the best," Gowan said of Hampton.
"You've got the full package," Linquist said of Baba.
Hampton showcased her skills Wednesday with a near-flawless performance. A top player can win even on an off day. When she is hitting everything just pure, well, that's how one can beat a skilled opponent 6-love, 6-love.
"It feels like all the cards are in your favor," Hampton said. "You just hit it and it hits clean off the racket and it just feels amazing. There are bad days when you frame it, and you can't get the ball on the court. Then there are the good days when everything is perfect. Luckily I had that today against her."
Hampton's state title last year just gave her more motivation to repeat. She stepped up her workouts, performing the strenuous P90X workout system, among other things.
"Instead of just playing more tennis, I've been working out more so I can be a better athlete on the court," said Hampton, ranked No. 1 by the United States Tennis Association Northwest Section for girls 18 and under. "Everybody is like, 'You won state once so you can do it again.' You have to work even harder to make sure you can."
Gowan watches her every day and yet still seems amazed at what he sees.
"Last year, she was already good," he said. "This year, I don't even know of the right words for it."
As far as Baba, the final score of Wednesday's match was misleading. She was going up against the best player in the state who was having an awesome day. On Tuesday, the two champions faced off in a one-set competition during a jamboree exhibition. Hampton won that 6-3.
Linquist said she knew all along that Baba would be a strong singles player. Last year, though, Akari wanted to play with her sister.
"Being together, it guaranteed them both a trip to state," Linquist said. "That they won the state title, that was a real bonus.
"It was a really cool opportunity to do something like that and kind of selfless. I think Akari could have done really well (in singles)."
This season, the singles competition is not as strong in the 3A Greater St. Helens League. Some top seniors graduated and Camas has moved to the 4A GSHL.
Baba said she expects to win district and hopes to win regionals and get to state. She also appreciates taking on top 4A competition in the non-league matches.
"It's a big honor to play against her," Baba said of Hampton.
Hampton enjoyed the competition, too. Sure, on the scoreboard it looked like just another match. But Hampton said she can notice a difference when she faces a talented opponent.
"I love hitting with people who are really good. You get into a great rhythm," she said. "It was really fun."
It also was a first for Clark County girls high school tennis, featuring a pair of first-place performers.

Brandon Scherff is a veteran of 33 career starts at left tackle for Iowa, with another two starts early in his career at guard (35 total starts). His success on the field has resulted in being named First Team All-Big Ten in both 2013 and 2014, First Team All-American in 2014 and Second Team All-American in 2013. He was the winner of the Big Ten's Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year award this past season. Physically, Scherff is every bit of 320lbs and appears to be maxed out there. He seems really comfortable at his current weight, displaying movement skills of a man that's lighter. His body is well-proportioned with tree trunks for legs. The power that he creates from his lower-half is obvious. There aren't many linemen who have come out in recent years that are as physical and strong as Scherff is on the field. The power that he generates through his hips is impressive, often times resulting in the defender laying on their back. His strong base and good overall flexibility allows for Scherff to anchor and hold up against power moves with very little effort. And he's nasty, too. He not only has strength; he loves to use it in an effort to manhandle his opponent. Athletically, Scherff is pretty light on his feet and shows better than expected overall flexibility. He's capable of getting to the second level in the run game and he has the necessary body control to finish the play in space. Scherff is effective as a step and seal player; he takes quick and effective steps that position his body in the ideal place to wall off the defender and open massive running lanes for his back. Scherff isn't perfect, as he needs to slide his feet a little quicker in order to keep up with speed rushers to the edge. He's strong enough to ride them out of harm's way, but he'll be facing an entirely different breed of pass rushers in the NFL. In pass protection, Scherff possesses good, strong hands and is able to stun the oncoming rusher with a powerful punch almost immediately out of his stance. He always maintains control over the action and often times drives the pass rusher into the ground. I like his aggressive style, but he has to be careful not to lean and bend at the waist too much when attacking the defender. He's had a lot of success playing with a wrestler's mentality, but he'll need to be prepared for the arsenal of pass rush moves that he'll face in the NFL. That's not to say that Scherff doesn't already react and respond well to counter moves. He's rarely beaten by an outside/inside pass rush, showing the kind of feet and agility needed to slide from left to right to left efficiently and smoothly. But the speed rush to the corner can give him problems at times (causing him to lean and bend at the waist.). Scherff might be the nastiest and most effective run blocker in the 2015 NFL Draft class. From his ability to reach his assignment to the jolt he creates on contact and his ability to get a good fit and drive his opponent to the ground, Scherff simply does it all. He'll project well to any scheme (whether it's an in-line power scheme or a zone blocking scheme) because he's athletic enough and displays the kind of on-field awareness to be an asset in space, while also being flat out nasty in a phone booth.
BOTTOM LINE: Brandon Scherff might not be the sexiest pick in this year's class, but he's one of the safest. He's a plug and play tackle from Day 1 who has a low risk to "bust." In the event he can't keep up with NFL speed to the edge, slide him inside and enjoy his pro bowl performances at guard.

The title tells us someone dies and within the first few minutes the hints are very strong as to who that might be. No surprises there, except the programme credits an actor as playing that character. The other questions are as you'd expect: who, why, how and when?
The kitchen in question is in a restaurant. Denis Hearfield's set features a prep bench up-stage centre, a set restaurant table down right, and office desk stage left. And down in one corner is an easel menu which tracks the time structure – backwards.
On Friday morning everyone is behaving strangely, suspiciously and unsubtly with it. It's hard to get a hang of the style of Tza Drake's My Kitchen Kills, directed by Paul McLaughlin. Is this tending towards farce, broad comedy, a genre send-up …?
The focus is squarely on plot being played out with not very much depth of character. We get their circumstances in ways that go to possible motive for the yet-to-be-declared murder but their characteristics are superficial rather than deeply psychological, as may befit a good murder mystery.
So the actors are more, well, acting than being. They are utensils or additives rather than flesh-and-blood ingredients as they stir and fold according to Drake's 'whodunnit' recipe, adding touches of colour and texture where possible.
As Chef, Francis Biggs chops a mean carrot and does sardonic with bitters quite tastily. His protégé, Sam – Kenneth Gaffney – offers a dash of sweetness with his eagerness to please then adds an after-taste of self-preservative.
The head waiter, Steff, is Alex Greig's fifth role in as many months so far this year. This time he plays dispassionately amoral, if not sociopathic; apparently sapped of profound emotion. Or that's how it seems at first. He's saucy, as needed, but rather bland with it.
Jean Sergent's Kirsty, the waitress, brings a bit more zest to her emotions, what with having financial and therefore landlord problems and solving – or rather avoiding them – them with drink. Either Kirsty has the least to hide or she is over-compensating.
Their boss, the owner, is Barry, and Michael Ness lays his unpleasantness out in ungarnished strips: take it or leave it.
Then there's the cleaner, played by Mohamed Abdilahi, with a keen alertness and a piquant preciseness with grammar: about the only real surprise in the play, which itself is surprising in a genre that usually involves a good twist or three.
Also lacking is a level of tension that could earn it the sobriquet 'thriller'. There are predicaments, sure, and when the detective – Stefan Alderson – arrives the proverbial eggshells are in evidence.
But – despite the odd flutter at the TAB – there are no high emotional stakes to engage our concern, and nowhere much to invest our empathy.
To be fair, the way the scenes track back in time does raise questions that do get answered as we find out why people have done as they did. But without emotional engagement it becomes a rather academic exercise. And there is a place for that within this genre, except that's where the testing of intellect comes in and there's not much brain-challenge to be had on the menu here either.
Sometimes strange uses of the space see any imagined geography of an actual restaurant dispensed with, placing the actors and furniture nowhere else within our willing-to-be-suspended disbelief but on the Bats stage.
On opening night, then, it was undercooked but it could well be that as the season progresses the ingredients will prove to have greater potential to produce a more profoundly pleasing repast. Or maybe the recipe itself needs more work, to fully explore the necessary complexity of the genre.

If my gun would take the hornady FPB, I would shoot them. I shoot 338 grain powerbelts for elk and 295 grain for deer. They are accurate and easy loading. If you take the gas ring off of them the bullet just slips right down the barrel. I always wonder if the rifle got bumped just right with the barrel down, would the bullet slip off the gas ring, would it fall out of the gun? You wouldnt think that the bullet engages the rifiling when fired but when I dig one out of the dirt behing the target, you can see the rifiling on the expanded bullet. I can never find enough of the bullet when I dig it out of the animal. That is the one thing I don't like about the powerbelt, they come apart too fast and fragment. It depends what organs the fragments hit, whether or not the animal goes down right away. They dont like bone! I have taken the hornady FPB and pushed it through the barrel several times and " prestart" them so they are easier to load without the assist of a short starter. It helps a bit but they still push hard and it is tough to get the same seating pressure on each load. I shoot t/c triumph, it must have a smaller barrel than most. Some T/C's like them and some dont.
Sounds like Thor is onto something with slightly different sizes to compensate for the variations in muzzle loaders. Maybe Im just lucky mine likes the FPB's? I shot knight red hots before that but had to switch for colorado last year.
I got my Thor samples today.....4 different diameters. When I get the right fit and order some, I'll find out how they shoot.

Push them a bit. 110 gr of BH209 usually works good.
I usually use APP. Been using 100 grs of it, also use some Goex... real BP.

Oops! I had to go back to the first post to see what you were shooting. I forgot. Not a fan of APP. I find it very inconsistent. BP is fine, but I usually save it for sidelocks.
Have you tried Pyrodex? Cleaner than BP, and a little more power. Fires off easily with a 209 primer. BH 209 is the best BP sub right now, but it has ignition problems in some guns. I'm not sure how it would work in your gun. There's also Triple 7, but it has it's problems too with a crud ring. If I had your gun, i'd shoot Pyrodex RS (2F), or Pyrodex P (3F) for a hotter load.
BH209 is sooo much better than anything else on the market right now. All it takes is one shooting session and you will be buying in the largest quantity you can get your hands on.
What is better about BH209? I started with pyrodex but switched to 777 because it burned cleaner and I been happy with it so I havent looked any farther.
BH burns clean. very clean. I go about 10-15 shots before even a dry patch. Best of all it is very easy to clean. No more soap, water, windex, or whatever you used to use. Just some good ole Hoppes. Oh and it is very consistant with shot performance. Higher chrony readings. Tighter groups. And it looks cool too! each grain is a little cylinder.

The Number One team in WCTC's Central Jersey High School Football Top Ten for much of the year - Ridge - has capped off a perfect season with a state title. The Red Devils finished 2013 with a school-best 12-0 record, thanks to a 48-13 win over Union at Rutgers University in Piscataway Sunday in the North Jersey-Section 2, Group 5 Championship game, as heard on WCTC. Ridge dominated the game, particularly in the second half, after taking a 21-7 halftime lead. A senior-laden team, the Red Devils were led by QB Conor Hughes, who was 10-for-13 passing for 156 yards and 4 touchdowns. Three of them went to the team's best receiver, Ryan Bell, who had a couple of outstanding grabs and dives into the end zone for scores. The defense was outstanding, too, holding 2011 Gatorade NJ Player of the Year Jamauri Bogan in check all day. Bogan - averaging 151.4 yards per game - came in needing just 68 to reach 7,000 yards in a stellar four-year career. But, official stats showed his total at 67 in the game, leaving him one yard shy for his career. Ridge players also came up with 3 interceptions on Farmers' QB Diego Riod.
Tune in to 1450 WCTC and wctcam.com on Monday morning at 6:30 as we reveal our 2013 Team of the Year, Coach of the Year, and our final Top Ten.
