Claire Messud's 'The Woman Upstairs' is spellbinding
Midway through "The Woman Upstairs," Claire Messud's spellbinding, psychologically acute and deliberately claustrophobic new novel, a character explains to the first-person protagonist how our view of a story is framed by the way it begins.
There's no forgetting how 42-year-old Nora Eldridge begins her account of life as the woman upstairs - that characteristically "quiet woman at the end of the third-floor hallway" who never makes a sound but is still unspeakably angry. »Read Full Article

Wild iris grows in most of the climates of the United States. The only climates that wild iris will not grow, are the hot deserts, and the wetlands on the southern coast of Florida. Wild iris looks beautiful in their natural habitat of woodlands and along streams. The colorful blooms are present during most of the late spring and early summer.
Wild iris is one of the most beautiful wild flowers. The tall, slender stalks and brightly colored blooms rise above their surroundings. While they prefer moist, well-drained soil, some wild iris can survive short periods of sever drought. The only problem with this is that the flowers do not bloom as well without a good deal of moisture.
The most familiar wild iris is the blue flag. This wild iris is native to deciduous woodlands, and has thick, blade-like foliage. The erect, three-inch wide flowers make a beautiful summer display in northeastern and north central states. Many gardeners like to plant this wild iris in their home gardens, for their beautiful true blue blooms. This species of wild iris will reseed itself readily if left undisturbed.
Most wild iris plants prefer full sun, but some will grow in shade. The shady conditions will oftentimes limit the bloom period, and cause the flower to grow slower. The range of colors that wild iris blooms will flower is as varied as the hybrid cultivars grown commercially. I giver the proper growing conditions, a wild iris will thrive in a home garden and return for years and years of enjoyment and beauty.

U of M graduates 15-year-old "normal" teenager
On Saturday in two separate ceremonies, more than 2,500 people went from students to alumni of the University of Memphis.
Among them was a young man who left middle school for college, never graduated high school and is not yet old enough to drive.
Fifteen-year-old Arun Jambulapati graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor of science degree in mathematical sciences from the College of Arts & Sciences.
University officials say it makes him possibly the youngest graduate ever.
He thinks he's just another teen
"This feels normal, just standing in line," said Arun, who was hot on Saturday in his cap and gown and a little embarrassed at the attention.
Matriculating with Arun wasn't that different from with any other student, said his friend and fellow graduate Matthew Roberson, 26, even though he was 11 years his junior.
"We've taken a lot of the same classes together. It's not really much different," Roberson said. "I guess, given such a large gap in age, you would expect to be radically different, but he's like a regular guy, except he happens to be younger."
Arun says he is a regular guy who plays video games and basketball with friends his own age.
"Really normally kid stuff. I don't do anything crazy," Arun said. "I go to school, do my homework and have free time."
And like most students, he didn't enjoy all of his classes.
"For the most part, the gen ed (general education) courses didn't feel useful," Arun said.
Arun was 10 when he started at the university taking college algebra. At 13, he left Cordova Middle School to go to college full-time.
At first, Arun said, people noticed he was younger and smaller. But by his teens, he'd grown enough to not stand out in a crowd.
Almost from birth, his parents knew their son was special.
"When people were talking, he would pay attention to them, looking at their faces, following the conversation, as a baby," said his father, V.J. Jambulapati. "He would focus on what each one was saying, back and forth. He was trying to make sense of what they said."
When he was 4, Arun left his CLUE preschool class to take second-grade math. Arun skipped first grade and quickly advanced at a pace that required Memphis City Schools to hire him a tutor, Jambulapati said.
Still, Jambulapati can't say that raising Arun has been a challenge.
"He's our first child," he said. " We didn't have any experience with normal parenthood. That's all we knew."
The speaker for both graduation ceremonies was Marvin Ellison, a U. of M. alumnus and executive vice president of U.S. stores of The Home Depot.
Also, departing interim president R. Brad Martin, a 1976 graduate, was given an honorary doctorate.
Meanwhile, Arun has as been awarded a three-year fellowship from the National Science Foundation and will pursue a doctorate at Stanford University.
His dad plans to go with him.
"Because it will be very hectic," Jambulapati said.
But not to Arun.
"I'm just a normal person," he said.

Dudes, it's been almost 17 years since "Tragic Kingdom" skyrocketed No Doubt into the collective American consciousness, and Gwen Stefani is still the definition of a golden goddess. If lead single "Settle Down" has anything to say about it, we're in for yet another big dose of ska-punk pop wonderfulness that's been 11 years in the making since 2001's "Rock Steady." Fun fact: No Doubt is so down-to-earth and amazing that their tour archive lists a California house party they played in 1987. -- Dana Moran

SEATTLE (AP)—Things are changing for the Seattle Mariners, both their roster as well as their results.
The Mariners, who lost a club-record 17 straight games in July, won for the fifth time in their last seven Wednesday, beating the Oakland Athletics 7-4 behind newly acquired Charlie Furbush(notes).
The left-hander retired the first 13 batters in five strong innings and he was supported by stellar defense and a 14-hit attack.
It was just the third series sweep for the Mariners this season, the first since taking three from San Diego May 20-22. It also was their first sweep over Oakland since Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 2009.
The Mariners put a lineup on the field that included six players who began the season in the minor leagues or with other teams. Veteran Jack Wilson(notes) made his first career start at third base. Mike Carp(notes) started at first base for the first time since early last season. Josh Bard(notes) made just his 14th start behind the plate.
Casper Wells(notes) started in left field for the fourth straight game since coming over from Detroit in a trade Saturday. He came along with Furbush (2-3), who was making his third career start, first for Seattle.
"It's tough to come into a situation where you're on different teams and no one has seen you play," said Wells, who went 2 for 4 with two RBIs.
"It seems like there's some kind chemistry building within the team since I've been here. Everyone's kind of feeding off each other. Guys are getting hits in there, it's contagious. Pitchers are doing are great job. That's when the wins come in."
Furbush had a perfect game through 4 1-3 innings before Conor Jackson(notes) ended it with a fifth-inning double off the left-field wall that was inches away from being a home run and needed a video review.
Scott Sizemore(notes) drove Jackson home with a double.
Furbush matched his longest career outing and allowed one run and two hits with three strikeouts and no walks. It was his second career win, his first as a starter.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge said he was on a 65-pitch count. He threw 62.
"It's tough to go five innings with that kind of pitch count," Wedge said. "He was efficient. He used all of his pitches. He trusted his fastball. He trusted his stuff in general. He had good tempo. A lot of good things out there."
Bard had the biggest of the Mariners' 14 hits, a 2-run single in the fourth off Gio Gonzalez(notes) (9-9), who is 1-4 with a 6.26 ERA in his last five starts.
Trailing 7-1 entering the ninth, the A's rallied with Josh Willingham's(notes) 3-run home run off Jeff Gray(notes).
Dan Cortes(notes) came in to get one out, but walked Sizemore and Brandon League(notes) came in to get Adam Rosales(notes) on a pop up and Ryan Sweeney(notes) to ground out.
League earned his 26th save in 30 opportunities.
Ichiro Suzuki(notes) had three singles, giving him 274 career hits against Oakland, second most ever by an opponent. He trails only Rod Carew (282). Suzuki is a .333 career hitter against the A's.
Mike Carp had three hits and a pair of RBI. He's now hitting .367 with six extra-base hits and 14 RBI in 14 games since being recalled on July 19.
"Even on our last (1-8) road trip we were hitting the ball. We just weren't putting together our pitching and defense," Carp said. "We're finally starting to click. It's been fun these past few days."
Wilson, who played 1,267 games without once ever playing third, said he barely got much sleep overnight "thinking about those balls coming at me that fast."
He took a bunch of hard-hit groundballs Tuesday's game and early Wednesday. He also borrowed Adam Kennedy's(notes) glove, which is a little bigger.
In the second, he dived to his left to stop a hard grounder by Willingham. In the fourth while positioned on the infield grass, he flashed his glove to snag a hard one-hopper from Coco Crisp(notes). He got up and threw him out.
The Mariners added a couple more in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Carp and Wells' single to score Dustin Ackley(notes).
Wells added a RBI single in the seventh and Carp drove in the final run in the eighth with a RBI single.
NOTES: With an off-day Thursday, A's manager Bob Melvin expects that his two injured players, OF David DeJesus(notes) (sore thumb) and SS Cliff Pennington(notes) (Bell's Palsy), will be fit and available Friday in Tampa. Both worked in the cage before the game and are close to being ready. … Mariners' 1B Justin Smoak(notes) also has a thumb injury. He took a ground ball to his left thumb Tuesday and had to leave. X-rays were negative but the thumb is sore. Mariners manager Eric Wedge said it may be more than a couple days before he returns. Carp played first base … The A's had seven hits Tuesday, ending a 17-game stretch since the All-Star break that they've had at least eight hits. That's the longest streak for an A's team since a 21-gamer by the Philadelphia A's in 1944.

Ultimate Sniper 2006 : An Advanced Training Manual for Military and Police Snipe
Paladin Press (2006) | ISBN B000FN2BSG | 580 Pages | PDF | 40.4 Mb
When John Plaster's The Ultimate Sniper was released in 1993, it was hailed as an instant classic in the sniping community, influencing an entire generation of military and police marksmen around the world. Now this revolutionary book has been completely updated and expanded for the 21st century! Through revised text, new photos, specialized illustrations, updated charts and additional information sidebars, The Ultimate Sniper once again thoroughly details the three great skill areas of sniping: marksmanship, fieldcraft and tactics. Just some of the material in this new edition includes: * Cutting-edge sniper rifles, scopes, ammunition and equipment, everything purpose-designed or adapted specifically for military and police sniping. * The latest tactics and techniques from the frontlines of the War on Terror, including the mountains, deserts and urban areas of the Middle East and Central Asia. * Analysis of evolving technologies, including lasers, night vision, FLIR and ballistics programs. * Detailed ballistics and trajectory data for sniper ammunition. * An all-new chapter on countersniping lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan * An up-to-date listing of U.S.-based sniper training programs. Find out why professional snipers, sharpshooters and long-range riflemen consider The Ultimate Sniper to be the bible of their craft. A veteran of the top-secret Special Forces covert operations unit MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War, Maj. John L. Plaster combined what he learned of stealth, stalking and camouflage with his postwar experiences as a competitive shooter and firearms instructor to write The Ultimate Sniper. Over 60 pages of the original manual have been replaced with updated, modern information. An additional 120 NEW PAGES have been added with the above information

"Reading of chapter and verse annoying"
Because the flow of the scriptures is interupted I am going to find another audible Book of Mormon
Love the Book of Mormon and the way it makes me feel
by reading every verse and chapter
"Very irritating reading format"
The reader recites the chapter and verse over and over in front of every verse. Good grief. How can one follow the story with so many numbers being recited ad nausem.
Worst I have ever started to listen to.
Not a chance.
I want the story read - not a bunch of numbers!
Cut out the numbers except for the chapters. I want my money back.
Linda Smith Morse
"Hard to listen to--broken up with verse numbers"
Yes, but not scripture because of the naming of every verse. Chapter headings would be enough
"I love the Book of Mormon...BUT!!!!"
The constant repeating of Chapter and Verse ruin this reading. Please will someone do a narrative of the Book of Mormon so that we can enjoy the message and not the numbers! Don't waste your money on this one. I can hardly wait until someone does the audio version so it can be enjoyed instead of causing a headache.
Every bit of the Book of Mormon is wonderful.
Sean Crisden is just fine. I like his voice and pace.
I am a Mormon. It's scripture and it's true. This presentation had no redeeming qualities but a first time listener would give this type of presentation short shrift and I wouldn't blame them one bit.
Hurry up and get the job done right!
"The performance was so bad I returned it!"
The narrator reads the numeric reference to each verse before reading the text which breaks up each chapter so much- it really interrupts the flow. I found it so distracting I decided to return this. At least the old cd version one can still find doesn't do this.
As for the performance itself, well I was hoping it would be better than the cd version since it's newer. However it's not, it is just as mechanical and flat. It reminded me of a computer. So much for a great portable version I can listen to. I'm going to just have to stick with written text where the Book of Mormon is concerned.
"Did a computer produce this recording?"
I love the Book of Mormon, and wanted to listen to it on my mp3 player. BUT, the voice sounds like it comes from a computer circa 1976. Verbalizing chapter and verse is incredibly distracting. Come on, guys. You can do MUCH better than this.
"Poor narration"
There's no way that I will ever listen to this recording on audio. It is SO poorly done.
I love the Book of Mormon, but there is no way you can listen to it when the narrator states the verse before reading it. It completely ruined the flow. And not only is it stated once, but TWICE.
Don't waste your money or credits on this version of the Book of Mormon. Find an audio version where they don't label each verse, or just stick to reading it.
"Format is flawed, do over,do it right!"
Only the misinformation. Should say: Translated by Joseph Smith, not written by Joseph Smith.
Released by: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, not Church of the Latter-day Saints.
The recording is flawed and does not due justice to the Written Word.
The Holy Bible. History as recorded by various prophets throughout time.
Lack of emotion, and the constant repeating of chapter and verse, for every verse.
A very bland performance.
Please re-record and release, using a professional this time. Then make it available in
whisper sink for Kindle.
"great book"
very spiritual
it is definately the word of god
it brought me closer to god
this book was not written by joseph smith it was only translated by him thru the help of the holy ghost
"Impossible to listen to"
The narrator ruins the book with flat delivery and he reads the chapter and verse number after every line. It is so infuriating that I had to turn it off after 5 minutes.
He gave no effort to the reading. A computer would have had more enthusiasm.
The Book is great, the narration is literally the worst audio book I've ever listened to.

Apollon Musagète Quartet
There will be no interval
The Apollon Musagète Quartet – former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists and eloquent champions of contemporary music – makes its Proms debut, bringing the European premiere of the Fifth Quartet by one of Britain's leading living composers, Colin Matthews – a work commissioned for the 75th anniversary of the Tanglewood Festival.
It is paired with Webern's youthful Langsamer Satz, an ecstatic piece that showcases the composer's formal skill within a lyrical idiom.
Of Beethoven's six Op. 18 quartets, No. 3 is the lightest, and the hardest to pin down. The scherzo is fleeting, and even the framing movements have an unusual delicacy and wistfulness about them.

- Ensco is the second largest offshore oil driller in the world.
- Its list of competitive advantages include industry best safety and customer satisfaction, the second youngest fleet and the rock solid balance sheet.
- The company yields 5.8% and raised its dividend by 100% in 2013. Upcoming increases in free cash flow are likely to result in continued strong dividend growth.
- Global increases in oil demand and offshore drilling, ultra-deepwater drilling in particular, is likely to drive several decades of market smashing returns.
- Recent market overreaction has left Ensco trading at up to a 50% discount to fair value.
Several weeks ago I wrote an article about my favorite offshore oil driller Seadrill (NYSE:SDRL). In it I argued that the company was massively undervalued and represented an extraordinary long-term opportunity for capital gains and high income. Several commenters told me about one of Seadrill's competitors and how they believed it to be the gold standard in the offshore oil drilling industry. Their comments peaked my interest and the more I researched their recommendation the more I believe they are correct.
Company Overview:
Ensco PLC (NYSE:ESV) is the world's second largest offshore oil driller by fleet size. It owns 74 rigs with another 6 under construction. The company has transformed itself into the second youngest rig fleet at just 3.8 years old. This compares very favorably to Seadrill's 3.1 years and Diamond Offshore's (NYSE:DO) 22 years. Ensco is focusing exclusively on high margin floaters and harsh environment Jack-up rigs. Over the last 4 years the company has sold 13 of its older and less profitable rigs for a combined gain of $80 million. The proceeds were used to fund a massive new rig construction program that will have spent $5 billion from 2010-2016 on 18 new state of the art rigs. Thirteen of these are floaters (the most profitable form of oil rig) and five are harsh environmental jack-ups. As part of its growth effort in 2011, the company spent $7.6 billion to acquire rival Pride International (NYSE:PDE) which more than doubled Ensco's fleet of floaters from 13 to 29. Today the company operates in three segments.
Floaters: 63% of revenues, 29 rigs in the fleet, three under construction.
These are ultra deep-Water drillships and semi-submersibles. They are the most advanced oil rigs in the world and are capable of drilling up to 40,000 feet under the seafloor in 12,500 feet of water. The floaters are the most expensive to build but the most profitable, commanding day rates as high as $650,000/day and usually paying for themselves in just five years (average life span is 30 years).
Jack-ups: 35.1% of revenues, 44 rigs in the fleet, 3 under construction
These are harsh environmental rigs that can only operate in 400 feet of water.
Rig Management: 1.9% of revenues
This branch of the company manages oil rigs for third parties. Sales in 2013 were $59.2 million.
The recent spending on new rigs is coming to a close with 2013 cap-ex of $1.8 billion declining to no new rig spending in 2016 as Ensco absorbs and processes its new rigs. This is expected to free up $4 billion in free cash flow over the next three years. This money will go toward paying down the debt taken on to acquire Pride International as well as growing the dividend.
Catalysts For Growth:
Some facts to consider:
-In 1990, 25% of the world's oil production came from offshore, by 2020 it will grow to 34%.
- Today Ultra-Deepwater drilling produces 1 million barrels/day. By 2020 this is expected to increase to 5 million barrels/day.
- To meet the demand for ultra-deepwater drillships in 2020, 189 more UDW rigs need to be built by 2020, through for 2015 only 45 are scheduled to be delivered. This means that long-term demand will outstrip supply, driving up day rates.
- 55% of Jack-ups and 37% of floaters are over 30-years-old and will soon be retired.
- In 2013, there were 500 UDW wells drilled. In 2025 that number is projected to grow to 1,250.
- Since 2012, 57% of all new oil discoveries have been offshore in water deeper than 5,000 feet.
- According to the latest investor presentation, there have been 70+ offshore oil discoveries/year since 2009.
- By 2050 global demand for oil will increase by 110% to 190 million barrels/day.
- Past 2020 a minimum of 30% of new oil production will be from offshore.
- This means that by 2050 the production of Ultra-Deepwater oil will have to increase over 17 fold at a minimum. This represents a minimum growth rate of 8% CAGR over the next 37 years.
The mega trend in offshore oil drilling is one that is likely to continue for decades to come. The extra 100 million barrels/day of oil production will overwhelmingly come from offshore as onshore wells become exhausted. Offshore oil drillers such as Ensco who have the size, scale and expertise to safely operate in Ultra-Deepwater and harsh environments will likely prosper tremendously and long-term investors with them.
Recently analysts from Barclays and Citigroup downgraded several offshore oil drillers citing concerns over short-term oversupply and falling utilization and day rates. While true that utilization and day rates have declined for competitors Diamond Offshore and Transocean (NYSE:RIG), this has not been the case for new and more modern fleets such as those owned by Seadrill and Ensco. Specifically here are some recent contracts procured by Ensco.
- Two rigs - ENSCO 68 and 81 - received new contracts from Chevron (NYSE:CVX) at higher day rates than before.
- Activity in the Gulf of Mexico is strong, with ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) signing a three-year contract at $550,000/day for rig DS-9.
- Recently Talos signed a three-year contract at $530,000/day for the rig ENSCO 8502.
- North Sea "demand continues to exceed supply," as seen with rig Ensco 122 recently signing on for a two-year contract in the low $230,000s/day.
- 2013, year-over-year 19% increase in average floater day rate, up to $438,000/day.
As one can see from these recent contracts, the weakness that competitors such as Diamond Offshore and Transocean are facing in 2014 is not being felt by Ensco or Seadrill, drillers with young, modern fleets.
Competitive Advantages:
1. Scale: Ensco has 47 customers in 22 countries on 6 continents. This diversifies its risk in case one customer gets in trouble or goes bankrupt such as the recent bankruptcy of Brazilian oil company OGX.
2. Strong Balance Sheet: Ensco has a current ratio of 1.47 and a leverage ratio of 28%. Ensco is the 2nd least levered offshore driller. This gives protection to both the company and the dividend in case of unanticipated trouble such as the recent OGX bankruptcy. The loss of income from the 2 rigs operated by OGX isn't a threat to the company's ability to service its debt (debt interest coverage of 3.57).
3. Large Backlog: Ensco has a $11 billion contract backlog that covers 2 years of revenues and from which dividends can continue to be paid during a rough patch.
4. Young, state of the art, highly profitable fleet: During the first 10 years of its life, a floater has operating margins of 65%. Ensco's fleet is an average of 3.8 years old. Only Seadrill's 3.1 year old fleet is younger. In addition to higher utilization rates, (due to less maintenance) demand for young, 6th generation rigs continues to be high. The state of the art rigs in Ensco's fleet possesses the latest safety equipment, which all oil companies want after the BP oil spill disaster.
5. Top in industry customer satisfaction: Ensco has been the top offshore driller in customer satisfaction for 3 consecutive years. This focus on serving customers results in loyal customers and repeat business. In addition Ensco has an obsessive focus on safety and strives to achieve record low accident rates every year. After the BP oil disaster, safety records are one of the first things potential customers look at in a driller.
6. Top Income Margins in Industry: Management is able to generate industry best, 29% net margins, despite its strong investment in new rigs and its obsession with customer service and safety. Few companies can achieve this optimal blend.
Valuation and Long-Term Projected Performance:
The recent weakness in the offshore drilling market has resulted in Ensco being incredibly undervalued. To show the extent of the mispricing I'll use three different methods.
First I'll use a discounted cash flow analysis with the following assumptions:
- current EPS: $6.07
- 5 year EPS growth rate: 10.36%
- 10 year growth rate after that: 10% (due to the mega trend in offshore drilling)
- discount rate: 9%, (historical CAGR of stock market from 1871-2013)
Under these conditions Ensco is trading at a remarkable 48% discount to its fair value of $99.44.
Another way we can model the fair value of Ensco is by modeling the growth in its earnings and dividend and then applying likely historical valuations and yields.
This table attempts to model different growth scenarios for Ensco's earnings and dividend over the next 10 years. I start by using the analyst estimated 2016 earnings of $7.25/share. Next I used the consensus estimate of 10.36% EPS growth through 2018. This coincides with the projected short-term weakness in the industry. 2018-2023 is likely to see strong growth in the offshore drilling industry as Ultra-Deepwater production is forced to ramp up quickly to meet rising global oil demand.
I model two scenarios. The first, a continued 10% growth rate in EPS. The second, a faster 15% growth rate. To get a projected five-year price target I use the historical four-year average PE ratio of 12.62 and assume regression to the mean within 5 years. To the projected share price I add the anticipated five years of dividends to get a total share value. I then discount this by the same 9% used earlier to determine the fair price and current discount. Finally, I use the projected total share value to determine the expected 5 and 10 year returns.
With dividends, I model two scenarios as well. A 10% growth rate and a 15% growth rate. The first growth rate is based on the assumption that the massive increase in free cash flow will allow the continued strong growth of the dividend. The second growth rate takes into account the possible acceleration of growth past 2018 as the industry comes out of its trough and assumes the dividend will grow at the pace of earnings.
|Dividend (10% growth)

|EPS (15% growth)
|Payout ratios
|2018 Price Projection
|Total stock value

|2023 price projection
|Total Share Value
|Total Return CAGR
|Total Return CAGR with Dividend Reinvestment
|Fair Value
|Avg Current Discount in 2014
|Avg Total Return CAGR
As seen in the table, based on likely 5 year projections Ensco is trading at a discount of 25%-42% with an average of 31%. Anticipated returns are between 15.4%-21.6% CAGR assuming dividend reinvestment.
Looking out 10 years, we see that Ensco is even more undervalued by an average of 43%. The anticipated 10-year total returns are between 13.8-17.8% CAGR - again assuming dividend reinvestment. Comparing this to the stock market's 9% CAGR, (11.1% with dividend reinvestment) we see that Ensco is likely to greatly outperform the general market. This is not surprising given the deep discount to fair value at which the shares are currently trading.
After researching this competitor to Seadrill I must concede that Ensco does seem to have many advantages over that company and all others in its industry. When you combine Ensco's best-in-class customer service, safety record, its strong backlog and safe balance sheet this spells strong dividend growth and capital appreciation for many years to come. Given the current massive undervaluation of its shares I do not hesitate to recommend Ensco as a "Strong Buy Now" to interested investors.

All the magnificent trappings of a bygone era come to life at Medieval Times, where ironclad knights clash for the title of King's Champion in front of a wide-eyed audience that peppers the battlefield with cheers and jeers between bites of a four-course dinner. Each two-hour tournament channels the pageantry and spectacle of 11th-century Spain, pitting six competitors against each other inside a spacious, sand-filled arena for the honor of earning the title of champion and the favor of the royal court.

To further immerse guests in the fairy tale, Medieval Times encourages each guest to declare their allegiance by cheering loudly for the knight in their corner. Like royal guests centuries ago, spectators bask in the revelry while feasting upon a finger-friendly bill of fare without the aid of utensils. The four-course feast includes a tomato-bisque soup starter, oven-roasted chicken with a garlic-bread side, single spare rib, and an herb-basted potato.

BMC Public Health 2011, 11:364 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-11-364Published: 23 May 2011
This qualitative study examines parent and child experiences of participation in a multi-component community-based program aimed at reducing offending behaviour, and increasing social competence in boys 6 to 11 years old in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The program builds on the concept of crime prevention through social development, and includes structured groups for the identified boy, parents, and siblings.
A sample of 35 families participating in the multi-component program took part in the qualitative study. Individual interviews with the boys, parents and siblings asked about changes in themselves, relationships with family and peers, and school after the group. Interviews were taped, transcribed and content analysis was used to code and interpret the data.
Parents reported improvement in parenting skills and attainment of more effective communication skills, particularly with their children. Parents also found the relationships they formed with other parents in the program and the advice that they gained to be beneficial. Boys who participated in the program also benefited, with both parents and boys reporting improvements in boys' anger management skills, social skills, impulse control, and ability to recognize potentially volatile situations. Both parents and boys described overall improvement in family relationships and school-related success.
The qualitative data revealed that parents and boys participating in the multi-component program perceived improvements in a number of specific areas, including social competence of the boys. This has not been demonstrated as clearly in other evaluations of the program.

Empty Netter Assists - 01-12-12
-Dave Molinari's recap from last night's game. "I don't think he's anywhere close to coming back. We can't really wait for him. The guys who are going to pull us out of this aren't Sid or Letang. It's the guys who are in this room. Obviously, we'd love to have those guys in the lineup, but that can't be our attitude right now. We can't wait for those guys." - Brooks Orpik on the absence of Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang.
-The Washington Post's recap. Washington Tomas Vokoun (above, with Tyler Kennedy) recorded his 46th career shutout.
-The Associated Press' recap. Six.

-An overtime goal and an assist by Zack Torquato gave the Wheeling Nailers a 3-2 win against Toledo Walleye. Peter Delmas made 24 saves in the victory.
-Today would've been the 82nd birthday of former Pittsburgh Hornets and Penguins defenseman Tim Horton (right). An all-star with the Maple Leafs, Horton came to the Penguins in the 1971 offseason when he was claimed from the Rangers in an intra-league draft. His only season with the Penguins was 1971-72. He appeared in 44 games and scored 11 points. During that spring's playoffs, he appeared in four games and recorded one point. During the 1972 offseason, he was claimed by the expansion Sabres in an intra-league draft. Midway through the 1973-74 season with Buffalo, Horton was killed in an automobile crash Feb. 21, 1974. In 1977, Horton was the first Penguins player to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Horton was a founder of the doughnut and coffee chain which bears his name.
-Happy 33rd birthday to former Penguins forward Marian Hossa (right). Acquired at the 2008 trade deadline along with Pascal Dupuis in one of the biggest deals in franchise history which sent Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito and a first-round pick to the Thrashers, Hossa's Penguin's career amounted to 10 points in 12 games during the rest of the 2007-08 regular season. In the playoffs, Hossa was one of the team's top players appearing in 20 games and scoring 26 points including a series clinching overtime goal in Game 5 of an Eastern Conference semifinal round series against the Rangers (below). After helping the Penguins reach the Stanley Cup final for the first time in 16 years, Hossa stunned the hockey world by joining the team which beat the Penguins in the final, the Red Wings as a free agent. He is currently a member of the Blackhawks.
{youtube width="465" height="345"}JBbNsHB-JA8{/youtube}
-Happy 39th birthday to former Penguins goaltender Rich Parent. A free agent in the 2000 offseason, Parent's Penguins career amounted to seven games, a 1-1-3 record, a 3.07 goals against average and .887 save percentage in 2000-01. He was released in the 2001 offseason.
-Happy 37th birthday to former Penguins goaltender Jocelyn Thibault (right). Acquired in the 2005 offseason in a deal which sent a draft pick to the Blackhawks, Thibault spent parts of two seasons with the Penguins. In 2005-06, he saw action in 16 games and went 1-9-3 with a 4.46 goals against average and .876 save percentage. During that season, Thibault was in for a 3-2 defeat of the Canadiens, Nov. 10, 2005, the first shootout victory in franchise history. He rebounded from injuries in 2006-07. While serving as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup, Thibault appeared in 22 games, went 7-8-2, had a 2.83 goals against average, a .909 save percentage and one shutout. He saw action in one playoff game that spring and made one save on one shot. During the 2007 postseason, Thibault joined the the Sabres as a free agent.

-With goaltender Josh Harding dealing with an illness, the Wild recalled goaltender Matt Hackett from Houston of the AHL.

Pacific Division
-The Stars demoted defenseman Jordie Benn to Texas of the AHL.
Norris Division

-Maple Leafs overlord Brian Burke was his typically diplomatic self in response to the poll saying, "Yes, players dumb enough to participate in polls designed to crap on fellow NHLPA members are not very bright. They can all go defecate in their chapeaus. I am thrilled to have both players on my team. And by the way? Anyone who wants to tell Dion that in person should fly to Ottawa in about two weeks."
-Fighting has decreased 25 percent in the NHL this season.
-Former Blues/Coyotes/Stars/Kings forward Ladislav Nagy has joined Dinamo Minsk of the KHL.
-Former Wild/Predators forward Peter Ölvecky has joined Växjö of the Elitserien in Sweden.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
Now you belong to him . . . in order that you might be useful in the service of God. Romans 7:4 (TEV)
"In some churches in China, they welcome new believers by saying, 'Jesus now has a new pair of eyes to see with, new ears to listen with, new hands to help with, and a new heart to love others with.'"
Your call to salvation included your call to service. They are the same. Regardless of your job or career, you are called to full-time Christian service. A "non-serving Christian" is a contradiction in terms.
The Bible says, "He saved us and called us to be his own people, not because of what we have done, but because of his own purpose." (2 Timothy 1:9 TEV)
Peter adds, "You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you." (1 Peter 2:9 GWT)
You are called to serve God. Growing up, you may have thought that being called by God was something only missionaries, pastors, nuns, and other full-time church workers experienced, but the Bible says every Christians is called to service. (Ephesians 4:4-14; see also Romans 1:6-7; 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 1:2, 9, 26; 7:17; Philippians 3:14; 1 Peter 2:9; 2 Peter 1:3)
Anytime you use your God-given abilities to help others, you are fulfilling your calling. The Bible says, "Now you belong to him . . . in order that you might be useful in the service of God." (Romans 7:4 TEV)
How much of the time are you being useful in the service of God? In some churches in China, they welcome new believers by saying, "Jesus now has a new pair of eyes to see with, new ears to listen with, new hands to help with, and a new heart to love others with."
Most people want to be closer to God and experience more fulfilling relationships. Jesus gave us the keys to accomplish this when he taught us that of all God's commands only two are most important: Love God with all your heart and love your neighbors as yoursef. This sounds so easy, but we struggle in this area. That's why Pastor Rick developed the 40 Days of Love Study Kit. This unigue tool will equip you to fulfill the two greatest commandments. And, as you learn to live a love powered life you will grow closer to God and others. You'll become more like Jesus!
Everyone has a life principle, whether it's comfort, fun, safety, or affirmation. Join Pastor Rick for this series that walks through the ways to make love the most important goal of your life and be obedient to Christ: "Let love be your greatest aim" (1 Corinthians 14:1).
