in town for free camps
...includes the #2, #9 and #40 rated recruits in the country according to ESPN (Scout and Rivals are similar). To sweeten the pot, a rumor's been floating (that I don't think I believe) that the #1 recruit in the country wants to go in a package deal with #2.
It's the best class Minnesota basketball has ever seen, maybe the best class it will ever see in any of our lifetimes. And the U was nowhere with any of these kids, under Tubby.
But there's time. A new coach means new assistants, new recruiters, and Pitino may have the connections to tap the right ones. Some of you might change your minds about this hire, if Tyus Jones is putting on a Gophers cap on signing day next year.
That's a bit presumptuous.
I'm sure Rich Pitino will put on the full court press, and maybe he's a great recruiter, but I'll be surprised if either, nevermind both, sign with the Gophers. It ain't easy for a mediocre program to just start pulling guys away from Duke, NC, Florida, Kansas, KY, Ohio State. If they do, it's a great hire. But it better be a good hire even if they don't from Minny's point of view.
And Baylor?
I suspect they have a chance to get at least one, but even if you're right: the problem is that these are kids that some of the boosters have known their entire lives, and they know, from the recruits' perspective, exactly how the recruiting process has gone.
Which meant Tubby had to go.
Tim Brewester signed a top 20 class his first year. Tubby Smith signed Royce White and Devoe Joseph. Recruiting should not be the primary reason you hire a coach.
Then they hired Richard because he inherited a name from Pitino.
I guess next time they'll hire someone who contracted a sexually transmitted disease from Pitino.
I hear John Wooden's great great granddaughter was next on their list.
The state of MN seems to produce decent talent and the traditional Big Ten footprint is like Florida for basketball. Someone is going to do well there.
Plus, I actually think the Barn is pretty sweet. Reminds me of Yost
In fairness to Pitino Jr., he wheedled a winning record out of Isiah Thomas's roster. Anyone who can unfuck Isiah's messes, even if only halfway, has a chance to be pretty good.
Rick named his son Dick.
Maybe they thought they were hiring his dad. This should be a lesson about why you don't name your children after yourself.

You only have until July 14-next Tuesday-- to register for MEA's 2015 Summer Leadership Conference, "Power from the Past-A Force for the Future." The Conference is scheduled for July 28-30 at Lake Superior State College in Sault Ste. Marie.
Public Sector Consultants, a non-partisan public policy research firm in Lansing, has released a report offering financial recommendations and policy proposals to move Michigan forward. This comes on the heels of new State Superintendent Brian Whiston's goal of making Michigan one of the top 10 states in the next 10 years.
The Senate's version of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA) will finally get a hearing on the full U.S. Senate floor starting tomorrow on July 7. In mid-April, the Senate Education Committee approved the Every Child Achieves Act (ECAA) a week after it was introduced by co-sponsors Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA).
Two weeks ago, Gov. Snyder's education advisor led House Education Committee members to believe that the Governor opposed SB 103, the teacher evaluation bill sponsored by Sen. Phil Pavlov (R-St. Clair), chair of the Senate Education Committee. Under direct questioning, Karen McPhee replied that Snyder did not support the bill in its present form.
However, last week his media spokesperson said that Gov. Snyder has taken no position on SB 103, but would support some changes to the bill. So far, the bill has had four hearings in Committee that still has not voted to discharge the bill.
Pavlov's bill emphasizes local control with districts allowed to choose whatever evaluation tool they wish. There are no provisions for training and no standards by which to judge those evaluation tools. MEA lobbyist Christina Canfield spoke in opposition to the bill, saying the bill is not in the best interest of teachers or children.
Last year, the House plan for teacher evaluations was very different from SB 103. That set of evaluation bills never made it through lame duck last year. Those bills set standards for the evaluation tools districts use; emphasized training for evaluators; and created a much fairer evaluation system for teachers. The MEA remains hopeful this year's House Education Committee will introduce similar amendments to SB 103.
This Wednesday, Brian Whiston takes over as the new State Superintendent. In an interview with the Detroit Free Press, he talks about standardized testing, school funding, charter and cyber schools, deficit schools and teacher evaluations.
With the passage of Michigan's Public Employment Relations Act in 1965, teachers finally went from begging to bargaining. Thanks to PERA, all public school employees have the right to negotiate for fair wages, quality health care benefits and decent working conditions.

Is that fabric or tendrils in the background?? If it's to be fabric, I'd try to soften up the lighting on it. It seems a little harsh and I'm inclined to agree with the comments on the face. Toss in a little criticism of the hair too- that super slicked up clumps of hair look just doesn't look as cohesive as everything else in the image.

great action lines! real good flow to the character/
however i think your flesh tones and rendering needs work as well as the hair. i would also design the 'fog' at the bottom so it's actually part of the composition...don't leave it to chance.
keep up the good work

Honour students
"After taking a few years off from study, I thought honours was out of reach for me, but through the support of my supervisor I applied and went on to be awarded the University Medal for my Honours work in 2013."
"Through my studies I've been exposed to scholarships, awards, and exhibition opportunities that have been integral to my artistic and professional development. It's also equipped me to build my career as an artist, offering industry connections and opportunities that just aren't available otherwise."
Emily Sandrussi
|"My undergraduate coursework enabled me to understand the foundations of sport and exercise science. I wanted to continue developing my knowledge within this field whilst also having some practical application. Hence, my decision to do research via honours. In the short time I have been conducting my research, it has already allowed me to travel to present my ideas to other researchers within the same field, whilst also being able to understand the broad scope of sport science within soccer."
Denny Noor
|"I completed honours in psychology at the University of Sydney and loved the research I was doing so much that I stayed on for more. I now have a passion for research and can think of nothing else I would rather do."
"Research has allowed me the unique opportunity to work with some of the best researchers in the world in my field and many others. I've also had the opportunity to work on large-scale projects in fields like business and economics, medical education, military operations and others."
Simon Jackson
"I work for Macquarie's Funds Group, as a Quantitative Analyst in the Equities team. My role involves performing research and building tools for the Equities team, and draws strongly on the maths I learned in my degree."
"I know for a fact that my doing honours was a factor in my employer's decision to hire me, but aside from that, the year gave me time to figure out what I really wanted to do. Although I haven't chosen a career in the same field as my honours research, I use a lot of the skills I learned in my honours year at work." "I learned a lot in my honours year, about problem solving, working independently, working under supervision, and self-motivation. I made some good friends, and I definitely believe it made me both more employable, and better-equipped to do my job."

Chainsaws and Curbstomps
The original Gears of War was arguably the Xbox 360's first killer app. Thats not to say it didn't have its problems, though. It didn't have much of a story, the cover system occasionally had its problems, and the online play was kind of a afterthought. Gears of War tries to makes vast improvements to these problems, yet doesn't succeed in all of them. All in all, though, it is everything Cliffy B said it would be. It is "BIgger, Better, and more Badass."

Very painful.
Both the Cards and the REDS go into the All-Star break with their heads down.
It's going to be interesting to see which team comes out of the break with their heads held high and takes control of this division for good.
"...kicks and deals, and it's right down Broadway"
2009 Attendance Record 1-2
2010 Attendance Record 3-1
2011 Attendance Record 2-0
2012 Attendance Record 6-2
The Reds actually had six more hits than the Phillies over the course of this past series. And still get swept.
I actually chalk up losing all four games to just tough luck rather than any indication that the Reds are about to go into the gutter. Heck, if you would have told me beforehand that they would go 5-6 over the last roadtrip, I probably would have taken it.
Yea RiverRat. The thing that stings more than anything is that the Reds missed a few solid chances to be up at least 4 games before the break.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
Like others, these past 4 games hurt. Reds easily could have won all 4 and played well for the most part. It's tough when the losses are so close. I have to keep in mind that the last 3 games the Reds started rookies and all three pitched very well.
All in all this might be the most positive 4 game sweep you could have happen to your team. You can certainly see a lot of negatives but the pitching was a huge positive the whole road trip.
The team ERA on the road trip was 2.71 not couting today in which they only gave up 1 run in 9 innings. That included 3 starts from Wood, and 2 starts from Leake, Maloney and Cueto each.
Wood and Leake are both 22
Cueto is 24
Maloney is 25
Yea I think thats huge.
The nature of the losses in this series were very hard to take. All four of them.
This series was absolutely gut wrenching. I almost couldn't watch, even when we had a pitcher within one pitch of a perfect game. But, the Phillies have been a sleeping giant and we aren't going to run into Halladay every game. Let's get some rest and gear up for the second half! Stay optimistic fellas!
Variatio delectat - Cicero
we might of lost the last 4 but you still got feel pretty good about this team. the starting pitching played great. the bullpen will have changes which should improve it. the hitting will come to life again. we also still have a lead.
Maybe it will be a silver lining. Bruce, Cabrera, and Gomes can get some work this week. But To lose all 4 games of a series by a total of 5 runs, that is a dagger. Oh well, gotta move on. Last time we got swept,we went on a roll. With a favorable schedule the rest of the way, no way we can't. Lets get it!
Cincinnati Reds
Marshall Thundering Herd
Kentucky Wildcats
Indianapolis Colts

Top Pentagon officials, under orders from Secretary Chuck Hagel, will reassess military priorities in light of sequestration. (File photo)
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered Pentagon leaders to launch a strategic review that will reassess military priorities as fiscal pressures settle in for the long term.
Hagel charged Ashton Carter, deputy defense secretary, and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with conducting the review; they have a May 31 deadline.
The sweeping, forward-looking reassessment will scrutinize the Defense Department's most central strategies, including the "Asia pivot" that former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta outlined last year in the 2012 defense strategic guidance. The officials also will examine force posture, investments and institutional management, according to a DOD release.
"This strategic choices and management review will define the major decisions that must be made in the decade ahead to preserve and adapt our defense strategy, our force and our institutions under a range of future budgetary scenarios," George Little, DOD spokesman, told reporters at the Pentagon. "The results of this review will frame the secretary's guidance for the fiscal 2015 budget and will ultimately be the foundation for the Quadrennial Defense Review due to Congress in February 2014."
The review comes as DOD officials seek to make $46 billion in cuts by the end of September under sequestration. On March 18 officials released a timeline for civilian furloughs, one of the cost-cutting measures being implemented as part of the across-the-board budget cuts.
Last month, Carter and other top military brass warned lawmakers on Capitol Hill that if sequestration went into effect, it could render obsolete the current strategies underpinning DOD operations.

Review of DoD Contracts needs to be a priority. It could find much waste, fraud, and abuse in "stove-piped" logistics systems for a start. These "specialized, good old boy" systems need to be combined into an enterprise environment with standardization across the entire military. That's where you'll obtain major cost savings.
The military used to send them to different locations around the world for 6 months tours on training. That needs to come to a halt, cause it is a waste of time and money.

Give the gift of legalese
In this witty, user-friendly discourse, TVR columnist Adam Freedman explores the origin and meaning of legal language, from its beguiling oxymorons (attractive nuisance) to its cautious redundancies (null and void). Order this "lighthearted but lucid explanation of legalese" (William Safire) for the lawyer or law student on your list.
In the November 2007 Vocabula
Although the major European countries have been prolific in bringing dictionaries to press since the early seventeenth century, dictionary production in the twentieth century has grown exponentially in all the major European languages. It is worth mentioning that although in the last two decades there have been revolutionary electronic innovations in format, searchability, presentation, and design, in many fundamental respects monolingual general dictionaries produced today, whether in the United States or in Europe, are very similar to those of earlier centuries.
As metalexicographer Henri B�joint explains, their similarities are due to the common origins and parallel historical evolution from the Renaissance to the present through the turning point of the eighteenth century of the European peoples who wrote them. And they have remained virtually unchanged because their traditional form their conservativism, their being "almost mythical emblems of learning" exert a powerful influence on popular ideas of what they should continue to be.

Many years ago, I gave the Mencken Day lecture at the Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore. After my lecture, a man in his late seventies, possibly early eighties, came up to tell me that he knew H. L. Mencken. He then drew out of a battered briefcase a small light brown frame, in which, tapped out on an old-fashioned typewriter, was a letter from Mencken himself. The letter went something like this:
Dear Phil, I want to thank you for being so good a bartender all these years at the Rennert Hotel. You have always done your job with tact and craft, and I admire a man who brings these qualities to his work, no matter what a man's job is. Sincerely, Henry Louis Mencken.
I thought about that letter the other night at a restaurant called the Chicago Firehouse, lodged in a converted firehouse built in 1905, in the city's south Loop neighborhood. I had not been to the restaurant before. The rooms were decorated in a calm and understated way, and there wasn't any of that din that contemporary restaurants seem to feel gives customers a go-go feeling of success. The people already seated seemed serious feeders, not there for status or other nongustatory purposes. More ...

I want to meditate with you about the failure of language, about failure as limitation, and about limitation as the door to abundance. As image-makers, writers are charged with the shuttle that weaves abstract thought in and out of galloping life. The words, if they are muddy enough to accustom the mind to ambiguity, also lend flexibility to the mind. Such flexible, indirect language the Taoists called living words, goblet words, and dwelling words, and used them to subvert absolutes and create conditions favorable to life. More ...
Have you ever wondered what's so pleased about punch in the expression "pleased as punch"? The answer reposes in the world of show business. The punch that is so pleased in the expression is not the lunch we drink but the Punch of the Punch and Judy puppet shows, created in the early seventeenth century. Punch, traditionally, is an extroverted, self-satisfied puppet, who is enormously pleased with himself until Judy strikes him with a two-sided stick. When the two sides were slapped together, they would make a loud whack. The stick became known as a slap stick, and the compound was applied to any knockabout farce.
From the art of puppetry, we gain another expression. Puppetmasters manipulate the strings or wires of their marionettes from behind a dark curtain. Unseen, they completely control the actions of their onstage actors. Whence the expression "to pull strings." More ...
As I write this, my friend Jacques Barzun approaches the legendary age of 100. But as he, with his long perspective and range of reference, would remind us, it is legendary largely because of the human race�s historically recent decision to adopt the denary system of numeration. Had we chosen, perhaps more wisely, the duodecimal system, Jacques� age would be written as 84 the same number, but not as striking to the eye. We are thus partly culture-bound in making so much of a centennial birthday something I think Jacques would regard as worth noting in passing, but not brooding over, much less deploring; a culture can inform your life, indeed make it possible for you to have a human life at all, only at the price of binding you in some ways. And this is a bargain that Jacques accepts gladly for himself, and would have us accept for ourselves it is the bargain that makes us human. More ...
Vocabula RevisitedNaughty Words
Samuel Johnson defined fart as meaning "to break wind behind." He illustrated the usage with a quotation from Swift:
As when we do a gun discharge, Although the bore be ne'er so large, Before the flames from muzzle burst, Just at the breech it flashes first; So from my Lord his passions broke, He farted first, and then he spoke.
I have not been able to find out who was the object of Swift's attention. Probably Lord Chesterfield, who was much despised by Johnson. Johnson described Chesterfield's letters to his son as "teaching the morals of a whore and the manners of a dancing-master." However that may be, it is apparent that fart was not treated in the eighteenth century with the reserve now accorded it. The OED2 says fart is "not now in decent use," which is about a 6 on the lexicographer's Richter scale of naughtiness. Compare damn: (no caution, but best not said to Duchesses or in Court, say, 2 on the Richter scale); bum, turd: "not in polite use" (say, 3); wank: "slang" (4); bugger: "low language" (5); fuck and cunt: "for centuries, and still by the great majority, regarded as a taboo-word; until recent times not often recorded in print but frequent in coarse speech" (off the scale). Bloody gets a "foul language" rating in the OED2, which is about 7, but in Australian usage, it is about a 3. Arse is noted as obsolete in polite use, which puts it with bum: appropriate anatomically, but in my view it rates a 5. Oddly, there is not much naughty language available above 6 unless you want to go off the scale. More ...
FictionThe Vow
"Jules, we need you," Virginia implored.
Jules sat at the green kitchen table under a circle of shaded light falling from a shadowy ceiling. From a turmoil of papers scattered over the tabletop, he plucked a sheet.
"Jules, thank you for coming with us," Virginia said.
Annoyed, Jules raised his sunken eyes, flashed them into the gloom of his wife's cloudy outline, then dropped his gaze to his preoccupation.
"We've never had you all to ourselves like this," she went on, studying his tensed visage. "Not since we built the cottage eight years ago." Her thoughts caressed his high cheekbones, thick black brows, receding hairline, admired the lean composition, handsome still although wracked with resolve.
Stealthily she sidled behind him, glared at the memorandums bearing cryptic words: standard cost analysis, evaluation procedure, marginal operation. "Jules," she tried again. His head jerked up, and his foot stamped the floor as the small cottage trembled on its stilts. "Shh, you'll wake the children," she warned.
"Well, don't bother me."
"We'll talk later, then."
"Yes, yes." He waved her off. More ...

Dogs move. Dog moves
The Elder StatesmanGripeFest 2007
Time to grouse again. Every so often I grant myself the columnist's prerogative of complaining about matters pertaining to popular usage, grammar, and orthography. I hope to accomplish all this complaining without the grating tone of a whinge. After all, Olympian disdain is the proper style in all such things.
Have you noticed that the word saw has pretty much disappeared from everyday conversation? I hear very few people say, "I saw my friend at the party last night." Of course the prevailing usage is "I seen him go to the door and knock." I'm surprised: is saw really that much more difficult to pronounce than seen? Where do such seemingly universal habits come from? I suspect it's a matter of someone hearing a malefactor misuse a term, and then passing the solecism along in the fashion of a cold sore. When I hear a person practice this particular imprecision, I suffer the same reaction I undergo when I see a young man wearing, in public, the waistline of his pants around his thighs, exposing for the benefit of the world the pattern of his underwear.

Bethumped with WordsSputnik: True Origin of the Word
With buoyant Soviet ballyhoo and much galactic vaunting, Sputnik was launched on October, 4, 1957. It was the first artificial satellite. Them there pesky Russkies had beaten the Americans to space, and paranoia held hourly parades through Washington for years afterward until the Yankees beat the Russkies to the moon.
Here's a brief note on the etymology of the Russian word sputnik, a note you will not find in the Oxford English Dictionary or anywhere else. There is even a common word in English related to the word sputnik. More ...
Harrison's CornerThe Last Words You'll Ever Hear
Like me, do you mishear no less than you misread? There's nothing wrong with my hearing or my eyesight. I just inhabit a place where misprision is more interesting. Only today I discovered that a radio program that bore (so I believed) the subtle and mysterious title, Just A Stocking, was in fact called Justice Talking. How drab!
Recently the business of mishearing took a memorable turn. It happened because I managed to take almost three hours to travel from Manhattan to Brooklyn, delayed first of all by a long phone call home, and then by taking a train going in the wrong direction, not for the first time. ("I think there is a fatality in it I seldom go to the place I set out for," wrote Lawrence Sterne in A Sentimental Journey.) Well, there was nearly a fatality in this case. Once I reached darkest Brooklyn, I made the further mistake of entering a late-night deli where I stood in line for 30 minutes to get a large orange juice. More ...
The Common ReaderChinese Whispers
Earlier this year, humorist David Sedaris created a bit of controversy when he acknowledged exaggerating and embellishing some of the stories he has written for NPR and The New Yorker about his comically dysfunctional family. This seemed unfair to me. Embellishment and exaggeration are the very essence of a good family story. Take for instance the story that I call "A Thanksgiving Without Turkey," which I drag out of mothballs every year about this time.
I am a grocery store enthusiast. I love to shop for food. But I tend to avoid grocery stores in the days leading up to a major national holiday the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Super Bowl Sunday (not technically a holiday, but probably America's biggest secular feast day). I have a proprietary relationship toward the half dozen grocery stores I regularly visit, and it annoys me to have to share them with throngs of strangers. I prefer to do my grocery shopping during the workweek, at ten in the morning or two in the afternoon, when the supermarkets tend to be less crowded than usual. More ...
Vogue Words and Buzz PhrasesJudgmental
If you want to stay out of trouble these days, try not to be judgmental. This word once had a neutral connotation as well as denotation; if you were judgmental, you were inclined to make judgments. But for at least a decade, the most common connotation has changed so that a judgmental person is one who makes only negative, and frequently prejudiced, judgments. What�s more, these negative judgments are made when few people want to hear them. If someone describes you as judgmental, he is usually criticizing you for not being positive, upbeat, or at least neutral. It�s as if he is saying �if you can�t say anything nice, don�t say anything at all.� More ...
Letter of the LawAll About Eaves
Feeling neglected? Cheer up: at least the government is listening to you. Eavesdropping once a term mainly associated with nosy neighbors is now a hot topic in legal circles. The federal government is locked in an epic battle with a number of states over whether private phone companies can be held liable for cooperating in the administration's warrantless eavesdropping program after September 11.
Personally, I haven't a clue who's right, but the whole thing does highlight what a curious word eavesdropping is. It is, of course, related to eave, the edge of a roof, which comes directly from an Old English word efes (also yfes). But how do you get from a roof edge to electronic surveillance? More ...
Ada's ArdorWord Economics
I have recently been thinking about the value of a word. While most of the country is paid for time (hourly wage, annual salary, time is money, and so on), as a freelance writer, I get paid by the word. In some ways this is liberating. I can wile away the hours, if I want, unconcerned with how much it's costing me. But I can't waste words. Instead of worrying about how I spend each minute, I worry about how I spend my words.
The cost of a word varies. Some magazines pay $1 per word; others are more, or less, generous. But regardless of the rate, I'm in no danger of making millions from this arrangement. Neither Cosmo nor the Times nor The New Yorker (should I ever be so lucky) would let a writer ramble on for an entire issue. They would tell me ahead of time when they want me to shut up, but they'd tell me nicely. "Give me 800 words," they'd say. More ...
Of the trillions of insects that crawl over this earth, the lowly ants are the most ubiquitous, conspicuous, and gregarious. A Science magazine article revealed that a species of leaf-cutter ants has been gardening fungi for 23,000,000 years! Not only are they everywhere, they've been there forever. More ...
Although few people can complain of another's grammatical mistakes with impunity, that is, without revealing their own, we are hopeful that "Disagreeable English" will encourage us all to pay more heed to how the language is used � by ourselves as well as by others � while bettering our ability to speak and write it. More ...
We all know far too well how to write everyday English, but few of us know how to write elegant English � English that is expressed with music as well as meaning, style as well as substance. The point of this feature is not to suggest that people should try to emulate these examples of elegant English but to show that the language can be written with grace and polish � qualities that much contemporary writing is bereft of and could benefit from. More ...
Words often ill serve their purpose. When they do their work badly, words militate against us. Poor grammar, sloppy syntax, misused words, misspelled words, and other infelicities of style impede communication and advance only misunderstanding. But there is another, perhaps less well-known, obstacle to effective communication: too many words. More ...
Inadequate though they may be, words distinguish us from all other living things. Indeed, our worth is partly in our words. Effective use of language � clear writing and speaking � is a measure of our humanness. What's more, the more words we know and can correctly use, the broader will be our understanding of self, the keener our acquaintance with humankind. More ...

Free in VocabulaMock Merriam
The eleventh edition of "America's Best-Selling Dictionary," Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (Frederick C. Mish, editor in chief), does as much as, if not more than, the famously derided Webster's Third International Dictionary to discourage people from taking lexicographers seriously. "Laxicographers" all, the Merriam-Webster staff reminds us that dictionaries merely record how people use the language, not how people ought to use the language. Some dictionaries, and certainly this edition of Merriam-Webster, actually promote illiteracy. More ...

House Music
Bumping 4/4 beats and bright, thick synthesizers are some of the most notable traits of house music, a genre of dance that was birthed in the late '80s in Chicago. For much of the early to mid nineties, this was the predominant strain of dance heard in clubs or on the radio. The genre lost some of its popular appeal thanks to the rise of other, frequently less overt types of electronica, but in the early part of the 2010s, the genre has seen a rebirth of sorts.

Flaky Pastry
|Strong white bread flour
|8 Ounce (225 Grams Or 2 Cups)
|1 Pinch
|Chilled butter
|6 Ounce (175 Grams Or 3/4 Cup)
|Chilled water
|1⁄4 Pint (150 Milliliter Or 2/3 Cup)
1. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Rub or cut in 40g/1 1/2oz/3 tbsp of the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Pour over 120ml/ 4fl oz/1/2 cup of the water and, using a round-bladed knife, mix to a soft dough, adding more water if needed.
2. Put on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in clear film (plastic wrap) and chill for 15 minutes.
3. Roll the dough out to a 30 x 10cm/ 12 x 4in rectangle. Cut another 40g/ 1 1/2oz/3 tbsp of the remaining butter into small pieces and dot them evenly all over the top two-thirds of the pastry, leaving a 1cm/1/2in margin at the edge.
4. Fold the lower third of the pastry up and over the centre third, and the buttered third down over that. Press the edges together to seal. Wrap in clear film and chill for 10 minutes.
5. Repeat the rolling out and folding process (without adding any more of the butter) once more. Roll out two more times, with the folded edges at the sides, using 40g/1 1/2oz/3 tbsp of the butter each time. Roll out and fold once again (without adding any fat). Chill for at least 1 hour before using.

Mallet - Adolph Bruhn & Son, Wooden, circa 1970 - 1985 Reg. No: SH 912009
- Summary:
- Alternative Name(s): Hammer
Wooden Mallet made by Adolph Bruhn & Son, circa 1970 - 1985. It was taken from Area A at Adolph Bruhn & Son's Wood Turners Shop, 283 Coventry Street, South Melbourne. The business was established by Adolph Bruhn circa 1893 in Little Collins Street, Melbourne. Upon his death in 1919 it was then operated by Adolph's son Sophus Christopher Bruhn. Upon Sophus's death in 1959 his son Sophus Walter Bruhn took over the business. In 1970 Sophus reduced the scale of the business and relocated to South Melbourne. The business closed upon Sophus's death in January 1990.
Adolph Bruhn migrated to Australia from Germany in 1884, at the age of 29. He arrived in Adelaide where he lived for 10 months before moving to Victoria, where he settled, established his business, married and had five children.
- Description:
- Fawn coloured wooden mallet; mallet head is triangular with the long sides of the triangle curving towards the point so that the head is iron shaped. Handle has raised surface near top and three thin grooves en- circling end. Handle is attached to the head via insertion into a holed bored into the centre of the head base. Mallet is unfinished (ie. unvarnished etc.)

The Vandalia girls basketball team not only wrapped up its first-ever South Central Conference East Division title Monday night - the Lady Vandals got their mojo back.
After struggling offensively in wins over Pana and Hillsboro its previous two games, Vandalia scorched the nets to the tune of 58 percent shooting from the field in a 61-48 win at Litchfield.
Down by five points early in the second half and in desperate need of offense last Thursday at Pana, the Vandalia girls basketball team went to a scoring option few teams possess.
It turned to its defense.
The result was a turnover-fueled 11-1 run that turned an 18-13 third-quarter deficit into a 24-19 Lady Vandals lead and - after some tense moments down the stretch - something that hasn't happened in quite a while.
Tuesday's postponed Vandalia boys basketball game at Hillsboro has been rescheduled for Monday, Feb. 16, at Hillsboro. The game was originally rescheduled for tonight (Wednesday, Jan. 28), but heavy snows wiped out VCHS's latest attempt to take on the Hiltoppers.
The Vandals' home date with Hillsboro has also been postponed twice and has been rescheduled for Feb. 7 at VCHS.
The prep basketball season tends to get a lot like a trip to McDonald's once the conference slate begins - just the same old, same old.
That said, one might liken the Third Annual WKRV/Hosick Motors Vandalia Shootout as the hoops equivalent to a trip to the Golden Corral buffet.
For roughly nine hours Saturday at VCHS, basketball fans will get the opportunity to enjoy something different - and there will be plenty of variety.
It's been proven time and time again that defense wins championships.
Saturday night was no exception, as the Lady Vandals hoisted the Sandoval Tournament championship plaque for the second straight season, thanks in large part to another overwhelmed adversary's inability to score.
Emotion can carry a team a long way. On Saturday, it carried the Vandalia wrestling team to perhaps its biggest victory of the year.
Pumped up by a big home crowd and the presence of a highly regarded visiting team, the Vandals (17-2) finished off a quadrangular sweep in thrilling fashion, as Anthony Coney's pin in the 130-pound match clinched a 37-36 victory over state-ranked Murphysboro.
January 16 was a date the Vandalia boys basketball team had circled on the calendar for weeks.
Now, Feb. 6 is a day that cannot come soon enough.
That's the date the IHSA will release postseason pairings. And you can rest assured, the Vandals are practically salavating at the possibility that another shot at archrival Greenville could await them when the Pana Regional pairings are revealed in a couple weeks.
To most people, it was simply the day after Thanksgiving.
To McKendree University men's basketball fans, it is the last time they lost a basketball game.
On Nov. 29, the Bearcats started a winning streak, which, with a win over Columbia College on Jan. 20, has been extended to nine games.
The road can be a cruel place.
Especially when you're coming off a loss like the Vandalia boys basketball team suffered against Altamont Saturday at VCHS.
And even more so when the destination is Staunton.
The Vandalia girls basketball team will get a chance to defend its Sandoval Tournament title Saturday night thanks to a 40-26 semifinal victory over Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City on Thursday.
Defense and rebounding keyed the Lady Vandals' latest victory, as they held a 28-16 advantage on the boards and forced the Lady Hornets into 26 turnovers.
Laura Hobbie led the way in the first half, scoring all 10 of her points, as VCHS enjoyed a 19-10 lead at intermission.

Babies make me sick. Literally. It's been 16 years since I last felt the lurches, gags and aversions of early pregnancy.
With Jay, I hugged the porcelain for seven months. My astounding ability to become ill at the smell of salt, watching a McDonald's commercial or nothing became family legend and lore.
My inability to keep food down became so intense I lost 16 pounds in two weeks and had to be hydrated intravenously. The constant retching took its toll on my skin and eyes, too. They were red and patchy with busted blood vessels.
The only other contender for my attention was exhaustion. When I wasn't making friends with the bathroom tile, I was conked out. Often the only way I could manage the two extremes was with a pillow in the restroom.
I hoped this pregnancy would be different.
By the way Jimmy watched me warily I knew he did, too.
Of course … the poor guy got the brunt of it. He'd tenderly hold my hair, ask me what I needed and bring me water to help soothe what the bile burned.
At one point, he couldn't eat in our apartment. I was so sensitive the scents of everything he cooked, microwaved or brought home would gag me. Which, in turn, made him gag.
This time would be different. I would 'will' it to be OK.
My 'will' lasted approximately a week before nausea and Saturday afternoon naps invaded.
I held onto my composure shakily for about two weeks. Then, I lost it one morning before work. There was just enough time for me to quickly, loudly chuck dinner dishes from one side of the sink to the other.
As if on cue, Jimmy entered the kitchen. "Oh, here we go." By the tone of his voice, I could tell he was only half-joking.
I couldn't blame him. Life as we knew it was over.
Lately dinners have consisted of cereal, oatmeal and toaster waffles. If I get real fancy, I break out the peanut butter, jelly and swipe some on bread.
Jay's asked me if I was becoming a vegetarian. Maybe. I became one with him. It wasn't until after he was born I could enjoy a cheeseburger again.
My attempts at cleaning the house usually end up with a grand total of half the dishes being put away. Then it's naptime again.
Weekends are a big snore fest. Jimmy's been incredibly kind, patient and supportive. He's doing the majority of the work, taking care of the kids and making sure I'm OK.
I'll admit this isn't near the intensity of last time – but it's still isn't easy.
I'm just glad we have something to look forward to.

Once upon a time in the faraway Peorian...
Once upon a time in the faraway Peorian desert, lived a man who lived in a castle made of the purest stucco. He worked as a UNIX systems administrator, and spent his days having fun, and generally enjoying life. But alas! All was not well in the realm, he was missing something in his life. So he called upon the great wizard "Internetz", and pleaded with it for a lovely companion to while away the future hours of his life. "Oh, her wit would be like a diamond, shining in the evening light, conversations could be had ranging from all kinds of topics, and we could learn from one another! She could be artistic, or crafty, and we could make silly little knick-knacks together. Her silly sense of humor would mesh with mine, and giggles could be heard across the land. Perchance she is nerdy, or geeky, and enjoys fun things like Sci-Fi or Board games? Oh, and maybe she could have really b----sshhkt--" Ahem, carrying on... The man also enjoyed starting all kinds of large and rediculous projects, because he loved to learn about the skills required to complete them. He had a genuine flair for BBQ, and would cook up the best meats in the land. He cared for many animals in his domain. He had towering aquariums full of the finest saltwater fish from distant lands, the cutest little kitties, and a tortoise, who ruled a small domain in the backlands. Sometimes, when the mood struck him, he would wander off on a great voyage in his carriage, and simply drive all over the lands, with no direction in mind, simply seeing what is out there. He was the type of man who never kept still, constantly working on new projects, such as modifying his castle to be automated by dark magical forces, or absurd pursuits, such as building a catapult to conquer distant lands with grapefruit. Really? This is what I have to work with here? He was not a perfect lord however, I would be remiss to fail to mention that he had no desire for an heir, and he was a smoker. At one point in the far distant past, he was married, but he was young, and stupid, and mistakes were made. "She yelled alot, and that's not cool dude." Hey! We're working with a _theme_ here, come on.. He was open and honest, and generally a virtuous soul. He greatly desired someone to spend his time with who could hold a conversation, and whom he could partake in fun activities together. "Forsooth! Perchance she could share a hobby of mine, or better yet, she could introduce me to a new hobby, that we could share together! We could spend our days crafting, or talking or going on trips, or whatever, anything other than sitting in front of a TV constantly just vegging out. Umm, Verily?" Seriously? Why do I even let you in the paragraph... Our little story was looking somewhat bleak. He was happy, but that special someone was missing from his life. But then, suddenly, in a flash of dazzling sparks, you appeared on the horizon! Such awesome intellect, blazing away in the night, driving off the shadows of ignorance. Your hair, blown back by the wind, revealing your eyes, that look into his. Our story comes roaring into the present, but I must leave you with a cliffhanger my friends, because we no longer know how it will end. But with a little luck, perhaps it will be that they lived Happily Ever After?

I have two cats, and three saltwater aquariums. Keeping fish is a passion of mine, and I can watch them dance around the aquarium for hours.
I enjoy watching Doctor Who (I've been a fan since I was a little kid). I like Sci-Fi movies, especially really bad ones. One of my favorite things to do is to buy a 12lb brisket, smoke it for 24 hours, and invite friends over for a feast.
One of my favorite things to do is play board games. My typical thursday night is spent down at the local game store, with 5-6 of my friends, playing whatever games we happen to bring. I don't care if I win or lose, it's about conversation and fun.

- Transfer the pattern, according to these directions: Using a light box or a window, place on pattern front. Line up precut arc and with a permanent marker trace faces on.
Hint: If using a window, use two pieces of scotch tape to hold pattern up.
- Turn precut arc over and line up pattern back. Trace on ghost outlines and lettering.
Painting Instructions
- Faces: Use #3 round brush to paint ghost pupils Lamp Black, highlighted with a 'C' stroke and a dot of Titanium White.
- Paint noses in solid with Violet Haze and #3 round brush.
- With Deerfoot brush, stipple on Violet Haze cheeks.
- The face with the tongue sticking out and the one with the 'O' shaped lips are painted Yellow Green using #4 flat brush.
- On the back of the shade using the wooden end of the brush, dot all letters with Lamp Black.
Finishing Instructions
- To form back seam, overlap and match up scallops on straight edge. Spread bead of glue, making sure glue comes to the edge of the paper so the seam will seal. Line up two back scallops and hold until glue is set.
Hint: Once seam is lined up, lay shade flat on table, on the seam side and lightly press so edge becomes sealed.
- Turn shade upside down for gluing wire in place. Hold 3" bulb clip wire in position and put a bead of glue around wire where it is touching shade. Press lightly so you don't bend top scallops. Let dry.
- Fill jar with candy corn. Put lamp together and clip on shade.

Part of the above instructions are for the ghost figures and then the last section is correctly for the candy corn lamp. Hope to see it corrected because I have always wanted to change a vase or jar into a lamp. Warm regards, Susan

"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"
"I have 5 littles and wanted to get a card made up quickly of them and this was just what I wanted. Beautiful, not too "holiday" themed so they could keep it up past the season if they wished. Most importantly, it was easy to make, shipped quickly, arrived well packed, and is better quality than a couple other places I have used in the past. Love the cards and will come back when I need to make others!"
"Too late for Christmas cards this, year, so we went with a "happy new year" theme and this was a great choice. Cheered it up a bit by changing the main greeting from blue to yellow. Photo reproduction on the printed version faithfully matched the online version. Nice work, Tiny Prints!"

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 1/28/13
On Sunday, after a double-overtime win over the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce learned of Rajon Rondo's season-ending injury on live television. The expression that crossed his face, and the "Oh my God" he muttered as a first reaction, was what it looks like when a great team's present and future come crumbling down. This is the end for the Boston Celtics as we know them and as we have known them since their own version of the Big Three came together in 2007 and promptly won an NBA championship. This year's incarnation of that team, one minus Ray Allen but still with Rondo, Pierce, Kevin Garnett and some intriguing pieces around them, seemed to many still capable of wreaking havoc come the playoffs. Despite their early-season doldrums, the thinking in some Eastern Conference front offices went like this: Boston would eventually gel, the conference would remain weak and with Rondo at the helm the Celtics might eventually be, if not great, at least very formidable.
