Remember Me
You've worked with Ethan and Angelo on all three records. Tell me a little bit about their roles, how they differ and how you guys interact with them.
Nathan: It's almost like they HAD to work together in the past. On this record, they were both looking forward to it.
You talked a bit about your history with Angelo. How did that relationship start?
Nathan: Nashville. We wanted to do some songwriting for pot money and called this number. They thought Angelo would work well with us, so we went and met with him.
Caleb: Before we ever wrote with Angelo, we hung out with him and got to know him some. From the very beginning, he got it. He used to be religious just like us. He was a Holy Ghost guy. Instead of trying to chug out some bullshit song for some bullshit country artist, we sat there and listened to records and hit it off so well. Angelo is a big part of what we do. He's a sweetheart, just a helluva guy.
Nathan, tell me about Caleb as a frontman and singer.
Caleb, tell me about Matthew as a guitarist.
Caleb: Well, as a person he's pretty shy. He's not as confident as he should be. He's one of the better musicians in the band. He can fucking rip on the guitar. The thing is, he'll play something really cool but think it's stupid. So, he'll come up with something else and something else again. He just doesn't have the confidence. But man, when he gets onstage, wow. Have you ever seen his legs? When both his knees bend, he's fixin' to wail, man. He's fixin' to get into it.
He's the outsider - we're three brothers, he's the cousin. He's quiet and stays in the background but when he goes up there and plays he takes it to another level. Matthew has always had great opinions. We'll end up leaving a song off the record that later on we looked back and regretted and Matthew was the one pulling for it. He's got a great sense of style as far as music goes.
I had the sense his addition to the band upped the ante as far as the music you guys were going to be playing. Is that a pretty fair assessment?
Tell me a little bit about Jared as a bass player. He's not your typical bass player. He plays more like a lead guitarist.
Nathan: He's 19 years old and is already this good.
Caleb: He's a fucking madman. You better not print this shit 'cause he's already cocky as hell [laughs].
Nathan: He could go down as one of the baddest bass players [ever].
Since I put Nathan on the spot, I've got to put you on the spot, too. Tell me about Nathan as a drummer.
Caleb: I call myself a drummer but Nathan's a fuckin' drummer. We go on the road with a lot of drummers who can play a lot of hard stuff and Nathan's right up there with them. For this record especially, he brought the songs such a new life. Me and Nathan have the most fun together. We watch each other. If one of us wants to get fucked up before a show, we both get fucked up. There is no him or me with us. If he knows I'm doing something without him, he just gets pissed, and likewise with me.
You opened for Bob Dylan on this past tour. That's a long road between your first gig in England at a strip club in High Wickleman to opening for Dylan. What were your thoughts when you found out you were gonna open for him?
What's the significance of the album title?
Caleb: It's kind of an excuse. No matter the success, no matter the failure, whatever. Because of the Times. It was actually a church conference that we used to go to every year as kids.
Nathan: Aren't they gonna sue us or something?
Caleb: Oh, we'll be all right. If they're real Christians, they won't sue us [laughs]. Anyway, this conference was only for preachers and their kids. No common folk. But, [the title is] an excuse more than anything. Why did it work? Why didn't it work? Why did you change your look? Because of the times.

Great article and glad to see J'base landed a nice interview with them. BUT... as far as the band goes... they really need to get over themselves. The new album is a major disappointment as far as I'm concerned. I suppose it is OK to have a rock n' roll ego if you're backing it up... but the ego here is FAR exceeding the talent. Dangerous territory for a band that has "conquered 13 cities." Sex drugs and rock n roll can only take you so far (with a few notable exceptions.) Add more substance boys or the glory of the first 2 albums will fade fast.
kings of leon rule. a lot of the bland jam bands could learn a lot from them in how the music can be somewhat earthy and rustic and give it a kick in the ass. fuckin a! i can at least understand where people are coming from when they talk shit but if the music is good than i really dont care how arrogant and pretentious they are. it's the music that matters. people like jeff tweedy, anton newcombe, and robert pollard are all assholes but they are incredibally creative songwriters and musicians just like the KOL. i know that whole "bad booy son of a preacher man" stuff has been mentioned and glorified time and again but these guys are on a major label and major labels try to push an image. but fuck it. if it's okay to talk shit if you can back it up than its okay to look and act like a turn if your music rules and KOL rule!
i meant to say "look like a turd".
funniest. opener. ever...could it be any funnier.
It's a Phenomenal album, their best yet. Look forward to seeing them on tour.Kings Of Leon have topped the UK album chart and are Number One with their third album 'Because Of The Times'.
Saw this band at bonnaroo a few yrs back they rocked out a set in the rain i was impressed both by the music and the bands true passion for jamrock
GREAT ARTICLE!!.........but,it.s Mt. Juliet,not Mt. Joliet.and the best music comin from that tiny town is not Kings of Leon...............its.................www.oldunion.comwww.myspace.com/flatrockrevivalcom
I like the new album, but I'll need some more listens before I can really compare it to the last two. So far I am pretty impressed. Check these guys out live, because they are a great live band. I saw them at SXSW and the new tunes really shine live. Can't wait to see a full length show at the Ogden in Denver May 5th.
Best album yet, see ya at the ogden!
thanks for getting the "my band is better than yours" shit that always happens on these boards, mbridges. KOL are sick. get musical talent and calebs lyrics are always killer. cant wait for the 'roo performance, they need to come back to VA
I know these guys are the darlings of the corporate press and they have such a facinating "story" but shit they rock!!!
Dannymo, I hear ya. the whole "image" thing of these guys is too much. but yes they rock. the image thing is only part of their label, RCA. look at all of the bands that they had over the years and the ones today where image has been a big deal: ZZ top, village people, all of the american idle winners, elvis, those lifelong silver spoon fed hipsters known as the strokes. RCA even got mad spiteful back in the late 70's/early 80's by trying to destroy Kenny Rodgers. Not that I like kenny rogers (except "the condition my condition was in song" from the big lebowski which is a guilty pleasure, but he is the gambler and does make a tasty chicken at his roasteries.
After the four-year party, the Followills come of ageRemember Kings Of Leon? Or has it been too long? They were Tennessee's very own apple-shaking, cinnamon-throwing, gak-hoovering answer to The Waltons, raised in the not-so-spacious backseat of a destitute 1988 Oldsmobile driven by their pa around the American south's Bible Belt while he preached fire, brimstone and sulphurous lakes of flame to the faithful. However, after not unreasonably coming to the conclusion that all the best broads were probably in hell anyway, the Followill brethren eschewed the Christian life in favour of the dark, debauched ways of rock'n'roll. And stone the crows if they didn't have a ball embracing it.It helped that they were rather good, of course. Their whisky-soaked, nicotine-stained debut album 'Youth & Young Manhood' was one of the great records of 2003, and while its follow-up, 2004's 'Aha Shake Heartbreak', had neither its predecessor's element of surprise or its seemingly never-ending stream of singles, it was a triumph of substance over not-inconsiderable style nonetheless. But what really piqued our interest was the filth; the mountains of drugs, the fountains of booze, the veritable zoo of new and unheard-of genital parasites - it was one hell of a party, but one killer hangover. Especially when Kings Of Leon woke up one morning to discover they'd contracted the worst STD of all: children. OK, not literally, although we'd be gobsmacked if there hadn't been a few scares along the way. But when you consider that the last we heard, they were in a seedy hotel room drawling "You're not so nice, but sex sells so cheap" on 'Aha Shake Heartbreak''s opener, the first lines of 'Because Of The Times' show that a little growing up goes a long way."I don't care what nobody says", croaks Caleb gently over the opening chords of 'Knocked Up', "we're gonna have a baby". Meandering in at over seven minutes long and with nothing that could realistically be mistaken for a chorus, it's a dark, downbeat introduction to the band's third album. Indeed, it could almost have been taken from Springsteen's bleaker-than-bleak 'Nebraska', and it works perfectly.Following on from the precedent set by 'Aha...', Kings Of Leon are revealing themselves to be one of those bands whose records get progressively more fascinating as they get older, unconcerned that the lack of tunes could see their sales slump like a penguin under Pete Doherty's arm. Take 'Charmer', for example - driven by Jared's plodding, Kim Deal-esque bassline, it's a howling, primal, downright unsettling listen that'll have the terminally short of patience reaching to reload 'Molly's Chambers', and sharpish. Same goes for 'McFearless'. Cut from the same oily, sulphate-stained cloth, it's a million miles away from the Creedence Clearwater Regurgitated sound many would have expected them to return to after the experimentation of 'Aha...', and it demands perseverance before it pays off. Radical New Direction is a bit strong, but it's clear that KOL, along with long-time producer Ethan Johns, have been striving to add a new dimension to a band previously accused of having all the depth of a puddle.Not that everyone's favourite doyens of prostate-endangering denim have gone all po-faced on us. After all, being in Kings Of Leon is a fucking riot, as shown by the shuffly-veering-on-violent funk of 'My Party', in which Caleb - rather hilariously for a man who appears to weigh no more than the average paperweight - threatens to "Flip you upside down and mop this place". And on the rather fantastic 'Fans' - a semi-acoustic anthem-in-waiting that's perhaps the closest this record gets to old-school KOL - he's even forced to admit that London's "Rainy days, they ain't so bad when you're the King/The King they want to be".Yet these dalliances are brief, as this is an album all about growing up and moving on - Jared's almost old enough to buy his own drinks these days, after all. And so you get a triumvirate of truly special moments, from 'True Love Way''s epic, stadia-filling self-reflection, to 'The Runner''s ghostly Overlook Hotel-esque waltz, in which Caleb concedes that "I talk to Jesus every day", to the sublime, slow-burning 'Arizona', which brings things to a suitably huge close. Boasting all the wide open space of U2's 'The Joshua Tree' without any of the overblown pomp to spoil it, it's without doubt the best thing the band have ever recorded. As ever with Kings Of Leon, this record is a song or two too long and, in a rather alarming (for their record company, not you) continuation of form, worryingly light when it comes to the kind of tunes that'll get you tearing the seams of your jeans on the dancefloor. But that's a problem for the accountants. As it stands, 'Because Of The Times' cements Kings Of Leon as one of the great American bands of our times. It's good to have them back.Review by Barry Nicolson of NME Magazine
Is it just me or did they completely change their sound? The new album sounds like the Strokes meets the Killers with a bit of KOL left over. I'm not knockin' it, but its not really my thing. Whether it is selling out or buying in, I'm happy that these guys got some commercial success. Someone has to wave that flag, so why not make a little money. The only downside is the jam-scene is about to lose another band it once called its own.
new record kicks ass. They truely are the Kings!
AT least they are pretty boys and the popular kids won't make fun of you for listening to them. Urrr. Oh wait the popular kid is mowing my lawn now I better tell him. Maybe we could pretend DMB is part of our scene too. Then we can have some genuine hit singles and people will take us seriously. They'll also only stand and enjoy the show e=when we play those hits, but who needs originality when your nice to look at.
Okay lets get serious here, the kings of leon kick ass. And for all you haters who claim te are sell outs or only "nice to look at" I can say that I am yet to hear them played on the fucking radio. They are a great rock band and they deserve a lot of attention. Even if they do potentially get mainstream, I think they will do a hell of a lot for mainstream music. I know I'll get crap for saying this, but Phish had Farmhouse, Kings of Leon are just as badass even if this album does make them more popular.
Seriously angry.
let me clarify my last sentence. I did not mean to say, just as badass as phish, I meant to say just as badass as they have always been. Which is quite badass.
Dermatitis - Kings of Leon don't rule... If you took the time to read more reviews of their new album and a little of their history, you would learn that they are far from ruling and are much more fabricated than they let you think.
When I first heard "Aha Shake Heartbreak", I was like "HOLY FUCK: FINALLY some REAL shit, like modern Zeppelin (in terms of rockability).Sadly, being on the road so long, immersed in a frothy bath of phoniness and ego, crippled and perverted the KoL. Their new album drinks curdled bull-milk compared to "Aha". Bummer.I saw them do AHA live at the Filmore in SF. Very lame, unappreciative crowd. I had a wonderful time tapping my toes and nodding in a subdued fashion while the hipsters and rich dot-commers around me got shitty drunk. And stood there motionless.
A bunch of pretty boys with sellout pop tunes Yawn.
What album did you listen to, bigfro? And tell me when you heard these so called sell out pop tunes on the radio or saw them on MTV. Just wondering if you have any knowledge to back up your comment, or if you just write comments about bands you don't know about.
Looks like some people are seeing them for who they truly are. No need to slam us folks we aren't slamming you. We're just being honest with our experiences and knowledge of this band. I too thought some of the song off their first album were decent. After a couple more listens and delving a little deeper they seemed a little more prefab than original. You have to admit, they were getting some amazing gigs with little or no exposure. Looks like these comments will elicit another thumbs down.... oh well.
So you apparently know who they truly are? That makes sense.
Nice comment Bridges! Yeah, check out OLD UNION for sure! KOL definitely has "it." I enjoyed their kinda lazy garagey first 2 albums for what they were, just fun and loud. I think should just stick to what they know and not try too hard. I'm not really impressed w/ the new album, partly because I don't understand it, like what are they going for? It's funny to see them around the local bars and no one else even recognizes them but yet, they can't even walk the streets overseas.
Their new album is freakin' weak. Derivative radio rock. Come on guys - get back to business.
This album kicks ass. If you don't like it you are an idiot. Do not compare with the new emo bullcrap. This is an original band with a unique sound. Can't wait to see them at the ROO!!!!
SAHTHEGREAT - It is comments like yours that validate everything the detractors have said about this band. If their fans (like yourself) lack a certain degree of sophisitacation, one can only assume that they listen to bands/music of the same quality. Party on Garth!
Smittea, your comment is just as ridiculous as SAHTHEGREAT's. Of course when he says "If you don't like it you are an idiot," he is making a fool of himself. However, one stupid comment does not validate the rest of the stupid comments posted here, either. There are plenty of people with sophisticated music tastes that love Kings of Leon, myself being one. The problem I have with a lot of people who comment on this site is that as soon as they see an article about a band they may not like, they immediately start trashing that band instead of moving on to another article they may be interested in. Try that for a change, instead of arguing that a band is not good because of one person's comment on a website, because that is not a very convincing argument.
mcarroll : That is not entirely true. I don't lie in wait for articles about bands that I don't like only to slam or trash these bands. I was intrigued when I first heard Kings of Leon,... however, after listening a little more and reading some articles about this band, they appeared to more fabricated than authentic. It is not that their sound was genuine, it was that they were being touted for their "image" more than their music by the music industry. Again, if you read one of my earlier posts, they do not appears to have paid their dues in order to garner some of the big name gigs that they have had. Many great bands struggle for years in order to be asked to open for someone or play a major gig like Bonnaroo. KoL didn't seem to have to do this at all. I have keeping an eye out for their dates and venues,... all of a sudden... BAM for little or no reason. I genuinely believe that what I have read and observed about this band to be accurate....and I do know that my comments were rediculous, sometimes you just feel like posting responses to assenign comments. I don't slight you for doing that to me, you did it rather artculately.
Here is my argument to that...I think that their music is quite genuine and interesting. I could care less if the industry has touted them for their image. The music is the important thing to me, and I think it is great. As far as paying their dues goes, they have a blistering live show. Bonnaroo and Coachella, U2, Dylan, and Pearl Jam (generally bands that successful choose their openers), saw it and asked them to either play their festivals or open for them. Impressing people with your talent and being rewarded for it should in no way be frowned upon. They also tour relentlessly. One month after opening a concert for U2 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, they were back in the area playing a gig at the Fox Theater in Boulder (750 capacity). That was a couple years ago, and they have been back through here a number of times since playing 750-1500 capacity venues, so I don't think you can say they haven't earned it. If you don't like the band you don't like the band, but I don't agree when you say that their limited success here and larger success in Europe isn't deserved or that they are fabricated.
Smittea, I like tunes brother that is it. I don't try to read into these things so much. Good music is good music no matter how you look at it. There is no political value, no "scene" value, just music. That is it! I like it, if you don't that is fine but don't say that I lack sophistacation. McCarrol, sorry for the "idiot" remarks, but god damn man, this album rocks out! I meant to say if you are a fan of music (which we all are because we on this site daily) you would probably like album. That's it! Peace!
Ok, I said this new album "drinks curdled bull milk" compared to Aha. That's just because I don't like seeing this album get so much more praise than Aha! Aha was (is) AMAZING.But having listened quite a bit to the new album, I must amend myself- this album is really good. McFearless, Knocked Up, Trunk, Arizona, On Call, Camaro... all really good songs.I up my estimation.
I agree wanderingbard with most of your comment. If newbies want to hear the best of kings of leon, please buy Aha Shake Heartbreak, beause its the best album of the past decade. I do like a lot of tunes on the new album, but most of the ones that I like are not the favorites of many others. I think On Call was a poor selection to release as a single. I think the best songs on the album are the runner, fans, ragoo, knocked up, and camaro. The Kings rule, but I cant cant lie when I say that I like having them to myself. It would be great if they could make money and stay off of mtv. Please dont call them emo tho, I listen to them and I do cut mysef nor do I hate my parents.
Great article! "Because Of The Times" is one of the best albums I have listened to in a long while. I have been a fan of KOL since their debut and to hear their growth on each album is incredible. I am heading out from work to see them in ATL tonight and can't wait. I just can't understand someone who doesn't dig their new album. You need to have your head examined if you don't think "My Party" is one of the sickest jams ever!!

"Eli Myrick (Master Technician) inspected the bike and immediatly commented that the vent tube from the charcoal cannister was lower than he would have expected and very close to the rear wheel.
He sprayed water into both intakes with the engine running - no problem - no stall.
He then put the vent tube into a container of water and continued to run the motor - within 2 minutes the motor stalled." -
Very interesting. Very.
I have not had the bike stall in the rain yet, but last Friday I rode to work in a fairly heavy rain. I parked the bike in a dry underground garage. At 5 o'clock, I walked out to my bike and noticed a large puddle under the bike. I got down and looked, and water was dripping out of the charcoal canister breather. This is 7 hours after I parked it, so there was quite a bit of water in there where there shouldn't really be any. It looks like maybe when running there is suction at that vent tube, and when parked, the hot engine warming the tank of fuel reverses the flow and air flows out of the vent tube. Sun on the tank would do the same thing.
Since I had not read this message yet, I opened up the airbox when I went home, thinking maybe there would be water in there. It was dry.
I am definitely going to re-position this vent hose, and might now consider getting rid of the canister.

Lily White was a rural black community located just south of the Houston, Texas and Central Railroad, west of North Post Oak and north of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad on the Lily White Road.
At one time this community had a school, church and cemetery and a scattering of dwellings along Lily White Road.
Mrs. Nancy Stewart who had taught at the African-American school on Lily White Road for over twenty years in 1936.
A 1947 map of Harris County shows the Lily White school with the church next door with dwellings along Lily White Road.
The cemetery may have been next the Lily White Church.....
The school and the church buildings were still there in 1957 and 1964 but by the early 1970's they were gone. In the 80's there was a business on this spot and Lily White Road was widen and called Westview Drive.
The community and cemetery has dissappeared and has been lost to time.

Isabel and I met last year at Central Saint Martins College in London. I decided to reward myself after my Vogue India Internship and booked a flight to Milan to see her and to explore Italy a bit more. I've been to Milan before two years ago but this time was different. I already knew all the tourist attractions and was just enjoying the city and walking around a lot. I booked a very early morning flight and got up at 4.30 am to enjoy Milan in glorious sunshine the whole saturday.
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele is always impressive. It is one of the world's oldest shopping malls and named after the first King of Italy.
Lemons are a symbol of wealth, adoration, purification, fidelity and love. I am clearly not the only one who loves them.
I bought this Topshop dress last week without even trying it on as the fitting rooms are always too busy and I knew it would be absolutely perfect for my trip to Italy.
After our stroll, we were looking for a calm place and decided to go up to the roof top terrace at La Rinascente next to the Duomo…for an overpriced coffee.
Isabel lives near the parc Sempione and we walked home to get changed.
Arco della Pace, the Arch of Peace, is the Marble Arch in Milan and its origins can be traced back to a gate of the roman walls of Milan.
We went to the Navigli district for dinner. It's absolutely beautiful and reminds me of Soho in the evening. The bars and restaurants are great, it's full of young hipsters and people who enjoy jazz music or just being out with lots of people for the evening. AND the best thing is: APERITOVO. Happy Hour from 6-10.30pm and you only pay for a drink but get to eat some pretty nice small plate food.
The day after we headed out to lake Como to pay George Clooney a visit…

Inmate-housing talks expected next week
County seeks rate increase
Nueces County Judge Loyd Neal expects to begin negotiations with the U.S. Marshals Service next week in hopes of securing more money to house federal prisoners at the county jail and facilitate their stay in private prisons.
After spending millions to fix the problems with the Nueces County Jail that led to the removal of federal prisoners in June 2006, the county filed an initial request in January seeking the return of the prisoners with a rate increase.
The county wants to recoup as much as $61.49 per inmate per day to house prisoners at the county jail, up from the $45.15 rate negotiated in 1991. Neal also is negotiating additional county compensation for two private detention facilities owned by Louisiana-based LCS Corrections Services.
Because the federal government does not deal directly with private detention businesses, LCS has a contract with Nueces County that gives Sheriff Jim Kaelin ultimate responsibility for any prisoner transferred to LCS' Hidalgo County facility. In exchange, the county gets $2 per prisoner per day from LCS.
The U.S. Marshals countered the county's request in May, telling Neal and County Auditor Peggy Hayes that the new reimbursement rates needed to be set individually for the jail and the LCS facilities.
Once Neal finishes negotiating those rates with the U.S. Marshals, the county has a contract in place that will give Kaelin additional jurisdiction over LCS' new facility near Robstown once it opens in September.
The county expects to increase the daily rate it gets to $3 per prisoner for the 900 inmates housed each day in Hidalgo County and the 900 expected to be housed at the new facility in Robstown, Hayes said Wednesday.
"It's contingent on us negotiating a favorable per diem," Neal said. "The auditor has done a great job of justifying our request and we feel that the requests for the Valley facility and the one in western Nueces County will cover our costs associated with these contracts."
The county's current contract for housing federal prisoners calls for housing as many as 100 prisoners a day at the county jail, which resulted in more than $4 million in revenue between 2003 and 2005.
Since the prisoners were removed, the county has lost at least $1.6 million in anticipated revenue based on $900,000 in the 2006-2007 budget and another $700,000 this year that hasn't happened.
The return of federal prisoners to the county jail and the money generated from the contracts with the private facilities could significantly lighten the county's general fund budgetary pressures, Hayes said. Neither Hayes nor Neal would speculate how much until firm numbers are in place after negotiations.

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe gave his daughter, Bona, US$100,000 and a 55 herd of cattle at her lavish wedding to Simba Chikore in Harare on Saturday.
Bona, 24, wed pilot Chikore, said to be 37 years old, at her father's home in the capital's plush suburb of Borrowdale.
The presidents of South Africa, Zambia and Equatorial Guinea attended the event along with a handful of former leaders, among them Jerry Rawlings of Ghana.
Various artists including South Africa's Zahara and the Soweto String Quartet, Koffi Olomide from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and local stars Jah Prayzah and Sulumani Chimbetu provided the entertainment.
Private media organisations were barred from the event which was partially televised on national television although even the ZBC took care not to show images of Mugabe's palatial home which is said to have cost more than $10 million to build.
Reflecting Mugabe's sensitivity over his home, the veteran leader's spokesman George Charamba said: "The venue of the wedding is a peculiar one. It is not a public place.
"It is actually within the grounds of the home of the First Family and this is a home which is distinct from the official residence of the President.
"You might recall that the land on which that home stands was bought by the party, Zanu PF, for their leader. Not a single cent came from the State."
"Secondly, the structures which have become the private home of the First Family were painstakingly put up through a combination of private savings and donations from well-wishers.
"That makes the place not just a house for now, but a home for all times for the Mugabes, in and out of office. That immediately raises security concerns not just in the present, but for all times.
"So, access to the venue of the wedding can neither be random nor unlimited."
Some of the top gifts:
An unnamed local mining company gave the couple $100,000
Businessman Ihmad Ahmed - US$50 000
Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and his wife - US$35,000.
Gabriel Mugabe - US$25 000 and 10 herd of cattle
Public Service Minister Nicholas Goche, US$2,000
ZRP chief, Augustine Chihuri - US$10,000

Fun St Patrick's Day Ideas (and new give away)
What are some fun things you do with your family on St Patrick's Day?
I went searching… and thinking…. and here are a few things I came up with or found:
Get some gold chocolate coins and hide them all over your house and have your kids search for them. You could hide rainbow colored skittles too.
Make yellow jello and cut into cubes so it looks like gold!
Make rainbow cupcakes! How cute are these? I found this idea here.
Make Irish Soda Bread! I have done this before and this a fun treat. It tastes a lot like scones. Here is the recipe I used.
Play Bingo as a family and see who is the most lucky! You can get the cards here.
Check out all of the ideas at sugardoodle - she has a whole bunch of GREAT ideas!!!!
What are your ideas?
Since it is Monday, I had to post this super fun idea by Nikki. What a great Family Home Evening Idea!
I love the idea of hiding the chocolate gold coins. I just might turn it into an FHE night where they have to read the scriptures about helping them stay on the right path which will lead them to the end and find the coins, which would represent heaven!

We have rainbow pancakes for breakfast with peaches(gold) and whipped cream (clouds). We make our regular buttermilk pancake batter, divide it into seven bowls, coloring each bowl of batter a different rainbow color. Then we cook them and stack them up on our plates topped with the cream and peaches. YUM!
And of course we dress in green. EVERYONE has too as green is mom's favorite color.
# Ann Snider on 13 Mar 2011 at 5:27 pm
We always have the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner. It's a fun way to end the day and it's been fun to have our children start to like the food after a few years.
We also have the kids hunt for gold coins. We have a missionary out and we just sent his all green box. We went to Target and bought all kinds of green foods and snacks and fun $1.00 items There was even a green tie in the dollar section.

The tricky leprechaun visits our house the night before. He causes all sorts of mischief, like turning everything green(our milk, the toilet water, etc.) and he leaves little messes for us to find. My three-year-old is awe wondering where this little leprechaun is and how he keeps leaving tricks for us throughout the day.
# Tracy on 14 Mar 2011 at 12:43 pm
We celebrate birthdays! My daughter's birthday is the day before, so we always spend both days just relaxing and celebrating. I am going to make the rainbow cake for her birthday this year. I also think we will have one of our treasure hunts. My older girls write clues and hide them throughout the house. Then the younger kids get to find the treasure (usually a fun treat that the older ones make.) We are on Spring Break, so the spring cleaning will be complete. Maybe I can talk my kids into helping plant some flowers too.
# Maria on 14 Mar 2011 at 12:49 pm
We take small terracotta pots and fill them up with gold candy, like rolos, and then add colored pipe cleaners to look like rainbows sticking out the top. We make these with the kids, then we take them to our grandparents who live close. Holidays are always a good excuse to drop by and visit them!
# Karin Watkins on 15 Mar 2011 at 7:26 pm
We do green eggs and ham for breakfast. The leprachauns come to our house too and play little messy tricks. We all wear green and we make green cupcakes for Daddy's office with rainbows made out of airheads stacked on top of each other, then cut, bent into a rainbow with a rolo at the end. I think I saw the idea on Family Fun and his office loves them. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. I love this site and I really appreciate all the great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
# Flowergirl on 16 Mar 2011 at 4:38 pm
When my kids were little, it was fun to set a trap to try and catch a leprechaun the night before. He always gets away, but not before causing mischief at our house. Like a few other houses he dyes all sorts of things green at our house. Another fun idea my sister did was bake a giant sugar cookie in a round pizza pan, then cuts it in half. Then you frost the cookie and make a rainbow with fruit. Mandarin oranges, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, etc. It is really cute and fun to eat.
# Marne on 16 Mar 2011 at 9:51 pm
We always set up a leprechaun trap the night before. The leprechaun comes and makes a mess of everything and leaves Lucky Charms for breakfast. One year the leprechaun left clues for the kids on a treasure hunt where they found gold chocolate coins at the end. They loved that! I always make rainbow jello for part of lunch (or dinner) and this year I am making pistachio bundt cake for dessert! Last year I did the rainbow cupcakes and they were a hit but really time consuming. We don't do too much green food since that makes it un-appetizing for all of us.
# Kayleen on 23 Feb 2012 at 9:47 pm
I am so excited to try your cupcakes! St. Patrick's day is my birthday so we're going to use them for our treats. I have always had green cakes so this idea was refreshing. Thank you for your amazing site!

- 2011 CFN Freshman All-America
Defensive Freshman of the Year: LB Dion Bailey, USC
DE Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina
The most ballyhooed recruit of 2011 proved worthy of all the attention, getting named SEC Freshman of the Year for his work on the vaunted Gamecocks defense. Coming off the edge with a rare combination of size and speed, the 6-6, 254-pound man-child registered 32 stops, 10 tackles for loss, six sacks and five forced fumbles. For Clowney, this fall was the ground floor of a career that's set to explode in 2012.
DT Dominic Appiah, Boston College
One of the few bright spots for the Eagles in 2011, Appiah really came on strong late in the season on the Heights. The 6-5, 285-pound tackle, with the hops of an end, started the final eight games for an improving D. Peaking with three tackles for loss and a pair of sacks in the upset of NC State, he has anchor potential up front for Boston College, a program with a recent history of sending interior linemen to the NFL.
DT Timmy Jernigan, Florida State
The Noles are just giddy about the future of Jernigan. And for good reason. Even as a reserve, the 6-3, 297-pound flashed his enormous upside potential by making 28 stops, six tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks from the interior. Powerful and explosive off the snap, he has the skill set to blow up plays from his tackle spot, and command double-teams once he adds a little more seasoning and experience.
DE Scott Crichton, Oregon State
Without a lot of warning, Crichton has blossomed into a gem for the Beavers. A modest recruit out of Tacoma, Wash., he performed as well as any Oregon State defender this fall. In fact, the Pac-12 honorable mention selection racked up 74 tackles, 14.5 stops for loss, six sacks and a school-record six forced fumbles. Athletic and assertive, he showed a penchant for getting off the snap quickly, and simply beating the opposing tackle to the backfield.
LB Dion Bailey, USC
The Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year—and all-league second-teamer—became the first Trojans rookie to lead the team in tackles since these kinds of records started being kept in 1954. Essentially a safety playing on the second level on the D, the 6-0, 200-pounder used his tremendous range and ferocity to intimidate opposing ballcarriers. He plays the game on the edge, a contagious demeanor that started rubbing off on his older teammates last fall.
LB A.J. Johnson, Tennessee
Even as the team crumbled around him, Johnson just kept getting better and better as his first campaign in Knoxville unfolded. The rare true freshman to start at linebacker for the Vols, he led all SEC rookies with 80 tackles and seven stops for loss. At 6-3 and 245 pounds, he already possesses the size and physicality to withstand the rigors of playing in the toughest conference in the country. With more reps—on the field and in the weight room—his ceiling at Tennessee will climb even higher.
LB Hayes Pullard, USC
Like Bailey, Pullard had 81 tackles in his debut, which means he, too, became the first USC frosh to lead the team in tackles since records started being kept over a half-century ago. He has outstanding instincts for such a young player, and a flair for the dramatic. The local recruit from Los Angeles delivered a season-high 14 stops, a sack and a forced fumble in the Trojans' upset of Oregon on Nov. 19.
CB Quandre Diggs, Texas
Diggs performed in his first season on campus as if he plans to be the stopper of the Longhorns' secondary over the next three years. A top recruit, he played like it as a nine-game starter, going on to be named the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. A 5-10, 200-pound bump-and-run corner, he has 48 tackles, four stops for loss, three picks and a UT-high 16 passes defended.
S Ibraheim Campbell, Northwestern
The big-hitting Campbell was one of this season's pleasant surprises in Evanston. Not only did he capture a starting gig at an early age, but he also has a team-best 89 tackles to go along with a pair of picks. The kid from Philadelphia has shown little brotherly love to opposing players in the Big Ten, deploying their airbags whenever the opportunity presented itself.
S Eric Rowe, Utah
Rowe is a quintessential Utes player; heady, somewhat overlooked and about to bloom into a very special player. A playmaker, who rarely makes mental mistakes, he made 66 tackles and broke up 10 passes from his free safety spot. A fluid and coachable athlete, he's on the verge of becoming the next in a growing line of Utah defensive backs who surges into a bigger spotlight, and the consciousness of NFL types.
CB Merrill Noel, Wake Forest
The Demon Deacons knew they were harboring a budding lockdown corner in Noel, but just about everyone else has been caught off guard by his rapid maturation. Not even a shoe-in to be a starter before the season began, he ended up tying for the nation's lead—and setting a school record—with 20 passes defended. A well-kept secret no longer, he's developing a reputation in pass coverage that'll encourage opposing quarterbacks to frequent the other side of the field.
Special Teams
PK Andre Heidari, USC
The Trojans needed a reliable placekicker this year, and Heidari certainly delivered. A model of consistency in his first season removed from high school, he missed only two kicks all year, while connecting from a long of 50 yards. The Groza Award semifinalist also provided unheralded support for the USC D by displaying excellent leg strength on kickoffs.
P Brad Wing, LSU
It took just one season of football at a local Baton Rouge high school for the Tigers staff to get a glimpse of Wing, a lifelong Australian Rules Football player. The 20-year-old, with the unorthodox style, has been quite a weapon for LSU. Not only does he have a booming leg, but he also punts with tremendous accuracy, often pinning opponents deep in their own territory. The Ray Guy Award semifinalist has quickly become a fan favorite in his new hometown.
Second Team
DE Marcus Rush, Michigan State
DT Andre Monroe, Maryland
DT Kelcy Quarles, South Carolina
DE Anthony Chickillo, Miami
LB Tra'Mayne Bondurant, Arizona
LB Dyshawn Davis, Syracuse
LB Denzel Perryman, Miami

The mission of schools is to promote a healthy learning environment for children. Although school health departments have the best interest of their children in mind, mandatory BMI reporting may, in fact, compromise a child's learning environment. In addition, research has shown that to be weighed and measured with other peers can be not only embarrassing, but degrading for a growing child.
"As an eating disorders specialist and a mother of three girls, I am very concerned with the policy regarding the mandatory BMI screenings,"
If you are a parent, you have a "right' to opt out of the weigh-ins. Provide a copy of your child's most recent health form with a note to your school nurse or principal saying that you do not want your child weighed. There are many ways to ensure that your child is healthy, weighing them at school is not one of them.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs trade rumors swirling again
The Winter Meetings are in the rear view mirror, but that doesn't mean that phones aren't ringing all over Major League Baseball.
One of the busiest and most-talked about teams at the Nashville gathering was the Arizona Diamondbacks, and apparently GM Kevin Towers is at it again.
According to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the D-backs are involved in a three-team trade with the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians.
Hoynes writes that Cleveland would send outfielder Shin-Soo Choo to Cincinnati for outfielder Drew Stubbs and shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius.
Cleveland would then flip Gregorius to the Diamondbacks in exchange for young pitching, either Tyler Skaggs or Trevor Bauer.
Gregorius, 22, is a left-handed hitting shortstop who split time last season between Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Louisville, hitting .265 with seven home runs and 54 runs batted in over the course of 501 minor league at-bats. He committed 18 errors in 122 games.
The native of Amsterdam, The Netherlands was considered by most publications a top ten prospect in the Reds organization prior to the 2012 season. He did appear in eight games at the big-league level after being called up in September.
Gregorius also played in the Arizona Fall League with the Peoria Javelinas, batting .278 with one homer and eight RBI in 74 at-bats.
Skaggs and Bauer both reached the Major Leagues in 2012 after being rated as top ten prospects in all of baseball. Skaggs made six starts, going 1-3 with a 5.83 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 29.1 innings.
Bauer made four starts for Arizona, going 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA. He struck out 17 batters, but struggled with his control, issuing 13 walks in 16.1 innings. Bauer was named the Diamondbacks' Minor League Pitcher of the Year.

Calmed my stomach
2 人が、次のレビューが役に立ったと感じています
Reviewer3272925により Sep 12, 2011 に掲載
This stuff is amazing! For details, keep reading! I knew I had some problems with my digestion (especially proteins). However when using HCl digestion aids, I got burning sensation in my stomach even with low doses. This of course can possibly mean that I don't have too low stomach acid. However, my nutritionist asked me to still try if my stomach was irritated for some reason and asked me to take 1 month worth of Zinlori. After using Zinlori for 1 month, I tried the HCl test again. As a surprise to myself, I could easily digest maximum allowed dose of HCl without getting any burning sensation. With Zinlori calming down my upset stomach, I was now able to use HCl to support my digestion and help me towards my mission of normalizing my stomach function. After using HCl for several weeks, I'm now convinced that I (still) have too low stomach acid: it feels like the food "melts" away right after I eat, I have less crawings for sweets and coffee, and my stomach and bowel function is much much more smooth and predictable. Without using Zinlori, I would have concluded that my stomach acid was high enough, thinking I didn't have a problem in first place!
Great stuff

Zinlori has been a major life saver for me. It really helps with my stomach upset (chronic atrophic gastritis) in just few days and relief of my extreme discomfort symptoms fast! I hope it helps heal me in time. I do not have H. Pylori or ulcer. I do take this along with Mastic Gum by Allergy Research, DGL by Natural Factors & N-Acetyl Cysteine by Source Naturals. Will continue using Zinlori!
Highly recommended product:)
