Blanche Smith
Blanche Ellen Darr Smith (Mrs. William Wannamaker Smith), age 86, of Savannah, Ga. died at Hospice in Savannah, Ga. on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013, with her children and two of her granddaughters with her in her final hours.
Mrs. Smith was preceded in death by her husband, William (Billy) W. Smith.
Born in 1926 in Sumter, S.C. to the late Rev. Joseph Haynsworth Darr and Ruby Passailaigue Darr, Mrs. Smith was the eldest of three sisters.
She attended Blue Mountain College in Mississippi, graduating in 1948 with a degree in music and piano.
She declined a graduate position at Harvard to accept a call as organist to the Methodist Church in Conway, South Carolina. There, she met Billy Smith, a recent graduate of The Citadel, who was working for the South Carolina Highway Department.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith married on December 16, 1950 and lived in Charleston, South Carolina for their entire married life.
Shortly after moving to Charleston, Mrs. Smith embraced the role of organist at the First Baptist Church, and she continued serving this church through her music ministry for over 50 years.
Mrs. Smith was also offered teaching positions at Ashley Hall and the newly established First Baptist Church School.
Under the strong, Christian leadership of Dr. John A. Hamrick, Mrs. Smith chose to devote her career to teaching and mentoring students at the First Baptist Church School.
Six and even sometimes seven days a week, she could be found at the piano in her "teaching room" or at the organ in the church at First Baptist.
She loved each and every one of her pupils, many of whom have pursued successful and rewarding careers in piano.
Her piano recitals became important annual events, filled with beautiful classical music by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Schumann, Rachmaninoff, and Grieg, as well as contemporary and patriotic classics.
Her strong, Christian faith permeated everything she did and lifted many friends, students, and family into God's love during difficult times.
A beloved Christian wife, mother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, mentor, teacher, best friend, and musician, Mrs. Smith is survived by her two daughters and a son and their families, who will daily miss her loving, caring touch, Gwen Smith McKee and Dr. Thomas W. McKee of Savannah, Mary Jo Smith Spence and Stephen B. Smith of Roswell, Ga., and William Darr Smith and Gena Smith of Atlanta, Ga.
She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. James P. Hahn of Knoxville, Tenn.; a brother-in-law, Edward L. Smith of Columbia, S.C.; a sister-in-law, Sarah Margaret Smith Dubose of Summerville, S.C.; seven grandchildren, Mary Ellen McKee of Savannah, Thomas W. McKee Jr. of Atlanta, Ga., William (Billy) Kelly McKee of Athens, Ga., Mary Margaret Spence Beaty and Daniel Evan Beaty of Philadelphia, Pa., Paige Elise Spence of Portland, Oreg., William Darr Smith Jr., and Hunter Hamilton Smith of Atlanta, Ga.; and three nephews and four nieces.
Mrs. Smith was predeceased by her parents, her husband and her sister, Mary Sue Darr Loveland, of Bridgeton, N.J.
The family received visitors on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2013 from 3 until 5 p.m. at J. Henry Stuhr, Inc., Downtown, 232 Calhoun Street, Charleston, S.C.
The funeral service were held at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 4, 2013 at First Baptist Church, 48 Meeting Street in Charleston.
Burial was at Live Oak Memorial Gardens for family and close friends immediately following the service.
Pallbearers were Dr. Thomas W. McKee, William Kelly McKee, Thomas W. McKee Jr., Stephen B. Spence, Daniel Evan Beaty, Richard P. Loveland Jr., James Paul Hahn III, William Darr Smith Jr. and Hunter Hamilton Smith.
The family requests memorials be sent to the newly established Blanche Ellen Darr Smith Fine Arts Scholarship at First Baptist Church School, 48 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina, 29401; the Music Fund at First Baptist Church, 48 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29401; the Music Fund at First Presbyterian Church, 520 Washington Avenue, Savannah, Georgia, 31405; or the French Huguenot Society, 138 Logan Street, Charleston, South Carolina, 29401.

Is the Main GameCube Path in GX USB1 ? Because the game folder has to be in 1st partition of USB HDD for DM to work.
Is the GC game same region as system ? Because not all out of region GC games work with GX yet.
Try GX: r1208 ,also remove your old .cfg files from GX, because they could cause issues when you update GX.
GX: R1208_IOS222-249-250.7z
Install USB Loader GX -UNEO_Forwarder Channel 5_1_AHBPROT.wad for USB Loader GX channel, because older GX channels could causes issues. Also try different GC games to see if DM 2.6 is working.
FAQ and GameIssues
For wii games [Guide] Fat32 you do not need a wbfs partition, wii games works perfect with FAT32.
wbfs2fat.py - WBFS to FAT32 conversion

i am still able to load GC games via DM Booter, would really like to make it work via usb loader gx. will try to uninstall usb loader gx then install again using r1208.
still unable to load gc games via usbloader gx(r1208 and 1200) loaded using HBC and Wii Channel. error message "fatal error apploader filesize is zero"
will try to reinstall usb loader gx r1208
* UPDATE * after those sleepless nights i was able to make it work using USB Loader GX r1198 and DIOS MIOS v2.2
game settings turned DML Disc to : "ON"
thanks candylove for the suggestion and everyone here at the forums.

I've tried loading gamecube games with GX r1208, WiiFlow 4.1, CFG loader, and even DML booter and I ended up with similar results on all of them. I've tried to run super smash bros melee on each of these, and while DM loaded occasionally, if I tried to run it again on that loader DM black screens or shuts down my wii. I'm starting to suspect that my HDD isn't compatible with DM...
Happy you got it working.
I recommended the older DM and USB Loader before for someone with a failing Disc Drive, he replace the Disc Drive and got the new DM to work.
I just saw this update when you got it to work with Gamecube path set to USB1, did you try DM Booter with DM 2.6 1st ?, or only DM 2.2 work with DM Booter ? Does your Disc Drive still play GC or Wii games ? Was it the Gamecube path or the Disc Drive or both causing the issues ?
Verify your HDD is FAT32 with 32KB cluster size, use Acronis Disk Director 11 Advanced : right click your disk/change cluster size/current cluster size: I use Acronis Disk Director 11 Advanced on three HDD to change it from 64KB to 32KB and I did not lose any data. (I ONLY RECOMMEND ACRONIS BECAUSE NO DATA LOSS) If you use any other HDD program you will have to backup everything before you change the cluster size.
The Main GameCube Path in GX has to be USB1. The games folder has to be in USB1 for DIOS MIOS to work:
Try different GC games and force video to your region because some GC games have issues.

I get "Fatal error apploader size is zero!"
This means DM was unable to mount the selected ISO for whatever reason.
- Verify that your dump is ok, just google for the md5 hash.
- Try to install the game again (delete the old folder before)
- Your loader is using an incorrect config version
fated07....your problem is putting all the DML settings to off... GX treats the DML settings with DM too. Just put those to auto.
Last edited by cwjakesteel; 01-15-2013 at 12:24 PM. Reason: responding to 2 people
So where are those games in USB Loader GX? Installed wad with Wad Manager 1.7, installed iso via DM Tool Box, plugged to USB my HDD, opened USB Loader GX, Wii backups are there, GC aren't... wtf?
You have to click the filter button (4th from the left I believe) and check the GC Games box.Originally Posted by Emiya Shirou

Even though the weather hasn't been very good lately, we all know warm weather is a comin', it's just a matter of time. That means, of course, everybody has to get in shape. As I've said before, the only way to make the U.S. the shining star on the mount that every country in the world looks up to is for every American to look marvelous.
That means it's time to get in shape, so when you're walking along the beach, around your front yard, or through the mall in your speedo or bikini, the out-of-shape people will drool with envy, while making a solemn vow to attain your marvelousness.
With that in mind, I've done some research and found six easy ways to speed up weight loss, so as to be just as svelte as a Cheetah. These tips come from the Lifestyle Blog at Xfinity. Hear that Xfinity people, I've just given you some free advertising! Now, do something about my way-too-high bill. Okay, back to being marvelous.
Four of the six tips for easy weight loss are right up my alley – "eat more snacks," "stop multitasking," "eat before eating" and "sleep more." In fact, I've been following most of these tips for years, especially eating more snacks and eating before eating. However, in my case that hasn't led to a more svelte body, rather to a more, let's say, mature body. Okay, okay, a slightly more portly body. Okay, stop it, a big belly. Since reading the tips, I've thought about what has gone wrong, and the only thing I can think of is I'm not eating enough snacks or not eating enough before I eat. That's the only possible answer.
Now, we all know how I feel about multitasking – it's a bad thing and can have dire consequences. Multitasking is for people who feel driven to get many things done as quickly as possible. That ain't me, jack. I'm a firm believer in "qui vivra verra," French for "what will be will be." The French are rude and couldn't beat Sylvatus in a war, but they do have the right attitude when it comes to the pace of life. They take lunches that last for several hours, giving them plenty of time to eat, drink wine and practice the art of love.
I also like to sleep, but I must confess I've been falling short in that category since I rejoined the world of journalism. In the previous three years before I began pounding the keys, the Mistress of the Manor and I would stay up late frolicking and casting fate to the wind. Sometimes we wouldn't kiss the night goodbye until the wee hours of the morning. Time was on our side to paraphrase The Rolling Stones. But, alas, since once again becoming a working stiff my sleep time has shrunken. However, I have figured out how this problem can be solved – I'm getting rid of the alarm clock.
To be honest, the other two tips for weight loss aren't exactly in my wheel house, so to speak. The first is to "drink more tea than water" – the reasoning being that tea is tastier than water. Now, don't get me wrong, I like me some ice tea at times, but I usually prefer water. I find it refreshing and have no problem drinking eight glasses a day. Throw in the four to five cups of black coffee a day and I'm a drinkin' a plenty. By the way, coffee is very good for a person providing at least four cups are consumed a day. Scientists say so, and I'm all about science.
The final tip on the list is definitely out, since it is "add strength training to your workout, or do more of it." It's not that I don't want to add strength training or do more of it, it's that I don't want to train at all. I figure I did enough training back in 1972 at Fort Jackson to satisfy my training quota for life. Besides, additional training will take away from the time I can spend on some of the other tips, like "eating more snacks," "eat before eating" and "sleep more."

HAZARD – The Perry County grand jury is investigating the death of an inmate at the Kentucky River Regional Jail earlier this month.
Detectives with the Kentucky State Police opened an initial investigation after 54-year-old Larry Trent was involved in an altercation with staff at the Hazard jail on July 9. Trent was found unresponsive in his cell in the hours after the fight, and later pronounced dead at the Hazard ARH medical center. According to a preliminary report issued last week by the state medical examiner's office, Trent had sustained injures as the result of a "jail beating" which included blunt impact to the head and body, along with "skeletal and visceral injuries."
Perry County Commonwealth's Attorney John Hansen said he invited KSP investigators to appear before the grand jury on Friday as the jury began its own investigation into the circumstances of Trent's death. He noted the incident involved multiple individuals and there exist a lot of variables "which are concerning and should be concerning to the general public."
Perry County Judge-Executive Denny Ray Noble said last week the deputy jailers involved in the incident at the jail have been suspended while an investigation is ongoing. As of yet, however, no warrants have been issued and no charges have been filed, which Hansen noted as one reason investigators were invited on Friday.
"Typically, probably a good 70 to 75 percent of criminal proceedings start with warrants obtained from the county attorney," Hansen said. "That had not yet been done."
Though an official cause in Trent's death has not been released, and may not be for a few more weeks, his daughter, Jennifer Brewer, told WYMT-TV in Hazard she believes her father was murdered.
Hansen said on Monday he expects others will be called on to appear before the grand jury as its investigation continues, and subpoenas could be issued as early as this week.
"This is something the grand jury needed to be apprised of, obviously, this issue concerning a death of an inmate," Hansen noted. "The grand jury is more than entitled to look into such things, especially when nothing else is being done."

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments next week on the most divisive immigration law in recent memory. Arizona's Legislature passed SB 1070 two years ago, but much of it has been put on hold pending the court's decision.
Still, supporters say the law has achieved one of its stated goals: Thousands of illegal immigrants have self-deported, leaving the state on their own. The real reason — and consequence — of such a demographic shift may be more complex, however.

Don't worry, you wont be missed. You sound like a dick.
Yet you're posting on a blog, does that mean you have more of a life than some1 who posts on Facebook to an actual friend not complete strangers ??? Douchebag.
::edit:: Trolling is for morons who have no life FTFY
Allow me to translate. "none. Never have, never will. Social networking is for people who have friends and no one likes me so I don't have the need for one"
Left Twitter for +. Fb is for my family/personal networking.
I'm in love with Instagtam right now! Follow me: sirstevenalexander
I have a Twitter account, but never use it. I don't know anyone personally who's even on it.
+1 .. Twitter is garbage imo, if you want to follow blogs and stuff like that I guess it's ok but not for anything else. Facebook is perfectly fine for keeping in touch with friends, there just isn't a need for all the so called "social netwrking sites"
You Sir, are so on the money.
Twitter for a constant stream of updates, Google+ for closer friends and conversations, and Facebook sparingly, and only to hear from those who refuse to use one of the other two.
When Google+ gets picked up by TweetDeck it will be used more
Twitter owns TweetDeck. I doubt they'll allow it to add new functionality for a major competitor.
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare. I still have a MySpace, but only because I can't bring myself to delete it. There are pictures and posts on there from 2005!
Twitter, tumblr, Facebook.... Then google+. In that order
Here's the best way to put it for me: (Facebook) U (G+) U (Twitter)
I know it might seem awfully 90's, but I still get a lot of use out of AIM, MSN and to a lesser degree, Google Talk.
Missed the invite for Google + so Facebook and Twitter are my currenty go to networks.
Kindly die in a fire, Tyler, ya spam posting fudge packer.
Facebook and Google Plus (gradually phasing out FB and phasing in G+).
Does anyone else think it's funny that Ping didn't even make it on the list?
It is funny.
I have only seen naegtive reviews about this product, I even read a naegtive review in the economist which was mainly detailing how bad their launching of the product was so not really about the product itself.
I know I'm in the minority on this one but I really don't see the point of twitter. It's status updates ... I just have a Facebook, and a LinkedIn profile. I have a MySpace but I NEVER use it, haha, I need to delete it now that I think about that. I think I shall, haha.
Yea it is. The notifications on that app suck haha.
Wow, 10 people still use Myspace ey? Lol. Anyways, I use Twitter and Facebook. But I also use Tumblr. However, no one ever includes that one..
Brightkite was awesome and my favorite! Unfortunately, they went gay and rid of the social network to persue a free text/im app. Retards. That feature will be built into iOS5.
Facebook and Twitter. I'm also one of the "early adopters" who got to try Google+ and I barely ever check my account now because most people aren't on it.
IMO, I think Google+ is following in the footsteps of Wave as another flop...
This needs to be removed, its crap
Facebook and G+. Primarily because there's no other way to reach my kids.
My first social networking profile was MySpace, and then I moved to Facebook and I don't plan on moving anywhere else, including Google+.
Dan, where do you buy the green pwdeor for the fasting? I've never heard of it. I would guess it serves as a detox. Please let me know where to buy it.Thanks,Max
instagram :)
I use a new social networking site today, www.nextsportstar.com. the site is quite nice, lots of friendly people. I like the way it allows me to post videos quickly. Also, it kinda caters to those who love sports.
I also use a lot of other Social media like FB, Youtube, twitter, Linkdin
Posted on Hello this is a enlxlceet write-up. I?m gonna e-mail this to my girlfriends. I stumbled on this kind of while searching on yahoo I?ll be sure to come back. many thanks for sharing.
I would like to thank you a lot for your job you have made in wintirg this blog post. I am hoping the same top job from you later on also.

'TED Radio Hour': What We Fear And How To Fight It
Originally published on Sat May 24, 2014 1:09 pm
What are you afraid of? The TED Radio Hour is asking that question this week. Guy Raz spoke to retired astronaut Chris Hadfield, who commanded the International Space Station, about the scariest day of his life.
GUY RAZ, BYLINE: Can you describe the day of a launch? Like, what happens on that day?
CHRIS HADFIELD: It's like a - that feeling in a roller coaster, I think, where you get into that little chunka, chunka, chunka chain thing that drags you up the hill to make the ride begin.
RAZ: Right.
HADFIELD: And the closer you get to the top, you see more and more of the world. And there's sort of this - OK, nothing bad is happening right now, but this process is leading to something. And our process is, like, 20 years that leads to - it's 20 years of chunka, chunka, chunka up the hill. And that last day is where suddenly you're - you come over that crest, and you're away.
FLIGHT COORDINATOR: This is the FC performing a launch status check at this time. All systems verify red, or it don't count. And go for launch, OTC. All...
HADFIELD: So you wake up in quarantine somewhere where they've been protecting you from catching a head cold. I don't know. There's sort of a wedding feel to it of all of these practiced and unusual places where there's a whole bunch of expectant people. And you're wearing clothes you don't normally wear. And it builds. It builds in complexity. And it definitely builds in danger until, finally, after all of the preliminaries, you are wearing the right outfit, and you're sitting in the right seat.
There's an enormous amount of fuel gurgling and jostling in the tanks down underneath you in between you and the Earth. And somewhere there's a spark and, bam, some unseen giant just stuck his foot in the small of your back and is now hurling you...
HADFIELD: ...With a lot of vibration and very little pity.
HADFIELD: And you're along for that ride.
RAZ: So what's the scariest thing you've done, Chris?
HADFIELD: (Laughter) The scariest thing I've done is ride a rocket ship to space.
SIMON: Astronaut Chris Hadfield speaking to Guy Raz. You can hear more stories and ideas about fear this weekend on the TED Radio Hour. Don't be afraid to tune in. This is NPR news. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

"I ordered these cards a couple of weeks ago for my 10 year wedding anniversary and I am so impressed with them. The card quality is amazing as well as the exceptional customer service!! I have ordered from tiny prints before and as always - tons of compliments."
"It was difficult to find a 60th card invitation for a man and this one was perfect! Elegant yet not too fru-fru. I really liked the font and the black and white."
"The invite was perfect for our Mexican Fiesta couples wedding shower! It set to mood for burritos, margaritas and sangria. Nice quality paper and bright colors. It looked great!"
"This was a great invitation. The printing is very clear. It's exactly as they describe it and the size is super cute but it seems small compared to other invitations so be sure you are ok with that size before you order it. I really liked it and it worked out great for what I used it for."
"I used this card as an engagement party invitation and it turned out perfectly! I welcomed RAVE reviews from all that received it, especially the bride and groom. I love Wedding Paper Divas! The service and quality of work is amazing and not something I've seen anywhere, not even my neighborhood paper shop."

Faith in the strength of the economic recovery is at its strongest than at any time over the last five years, according to the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) Global Economic Conditions Survey (GECS).
The GECS quarterly survey, the largest regular economic survey of accountants in the world, gauging the views of ACCA and IMA finance professionals globally, revealed that in the last quarter of 2013 55% believed conditions were improving or about to do so, up from 53% in the third quarter of 2013.
However, when it came to the prospects of their own organisations, finance professionals' confidence fell marginally with 35% reporting a loss of business confidence, up from 32% in Q3. The modest loss of confidence contrasts sharply with improving fundamentals on the ground. The results for Q4 2013 still represent the strongest year-on-year confidence gains since mid-2010.
Emmanouil Schizas, ACCA's Senior Economic Analyst, said: 'At the global level, the last quarter of 2013 may not have seen a surge in business confidence, but the quality of confidence was improved somewhat, by becoming more closely aligned to actual business opportunities and less reliant on a consistent supply of growth capital.'
The strongest confidence gains in Q4 2013 came from Ireland, where business confidence soared following the end of the country's bailout and fiscal adjustment programme, as well as a strong return to the capital markets.
'It is likely that 2014 will be the last year of the recovery and should see a return to normal economic life, whatever that looks like. Recovery in developed markets is still disproportionately dependent on easy money and a surge in the supply of finance in some markets risks creating new credit bubbles.
'Emerging markets, on the other hand, are being buffeted by the outward flows of funds triggered by the Federal Reserve's intention to taper its asset purchase programme, and business confidence is once again strongly linked to price and exchange rate stability – suggesting a real threat to regional, if not global, financial stability. What finance professionals tell us through GECS this year will be vital in ascertaining the direction businesses are taking.'
From a sector perspective, the last quarter of 2013 saw renewed confidence among smaller organisations. Respondents in small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) and small practices reported the greatest confidence gains, followed by their colleagues in mid-tier accountancy firms. Confidence fell among large corporates and financials, and even more so among respondents in the non-profit and public sectors.
The SME sector's confidence gains were driven by a relatively small and dynamic group of mid-market firms, which are larger and more internationalised than other SMEs, accounting for most of the confidence gains in late 2013.
Raef Lawson, Ph.D., CMA, CPA, IMA vice president of research, said: "This small group appears to have driven much of the SME sector's recovery over the last three years. It is possible that such businesses have a distinct advantage in the current environment due to their flexibility and international reach.
'For years, business investment has remained subdued despite the best efforts of governments and central banks, forever on hold until a more promising future. This began to thaw in 2013 and the latest quarter of the year saw a decisive shift. Entrepreneurs and managers are looking around to find that there isn't likely to be a better time to invest in the future; interest rates are low, opportunities are proliferating, even finance is not as hard to come by as it used to be. If the years of pent-up investment put off by businesses were to be prioritised now, the recovery could very well turn out to be sustainable.'

Elections 2016
Obama re-election highlights divisions, inspires fear
While listening to News/Talk 92.3 KTAR on Tuesday night, the election became a different story than I had envisioned.
All my optimism, all my belief in the words of Karl Rove and his white board, all my opinions shared by the likes of Dick Morris, who predicted a landslide victory for Mitt Romney, all those pundits who made me confident that my choice would be in the White House come January; it's over.
The networks placed that dreaded check mark after the name Obama. It's over. Everyone projected the president has won reelection.
There will be time for analysis, there will be time for recriminations. I will spend time listening to your calls, many saying, "I told you so."
There is some good news. Sheriff Joe Arpaio was reelected. David Schweikert will return to Congress. Matt Salmon will go back to the House.
Here is what is for sure: America is a divided country -- severely divided -- and what is sad is that America is divided by color. Black and brown America thinks differently from white America. You may want to disagree with that -- and I'll accept your arguments -- but the numbers will tell the story.
One other thing is a huge segment of the population that has its collective hand out. The "give me," the "I deserve without work," the millions of Americans who want the government to support them, they were heard tonight.
I am afraid for my dear America.

White regrets having Leben-Brunson open UFC 155's main card | News
LAS VEGAS MMA fans love to play matchmaker and they love to decide where fights should be slotted on cards.
Sometimes, they might just be right. For instance, at UFC 155, fans on social media made a push for a bantamweight bout between Eddie Wineland and Brad Pickett to be on the main card instead of the closing bout on the FX-televised prelims.
Instead, a middleweight fight between Chris Leben and Derek Brunson opened the pay-per-view, and UFC President Dana White said after the fight he regrets that decision.
UFC 155 took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Brunson (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) beat Leben (22-9 MMA, 12-8 UFC) by unanimous decision to open the main card.
Leben returned after a yearlong suspension for violating the UFC's drug policy. And while some cage rust may be to blame, White wasn't thrilled with Strikeforce crossover middleweight Brunson, either, who was making his UFC debut."I love Chris Leben, personally and professionally," White said at the show's post-event news conference. "But tonight, I think I made a mistake putting him on the pay-per-view. I should have had him on the undercard. He's been off with personal problems for a while. He's had a lot of time off, and he looked slow tonight. I wasn't crazy about that fight. That wasn't my favorite fight of the night, that's for damn sure."
White said another plan was in place for the pay-per-view's first fight. The original Leben matchup was against Karlos Vemola, who had to pull out with an injury. But he remained the pay-per-view's opener after Brunson came on as the replacement while a pair of "Fight of the Night" contenders in Wineland-Pickett and Jamie Varner vs. Melvin Guillard had spots on the FX preliminary card."The other kid was looking at the clock like he was a 14-year-old waiting for school to get out the entire fight looking at the clock," White said. "You're in the UFC your first time, and I wasn't very impressed."
Despite Leben's loss in his return, and despite being less than thrilled with the fight as a whole, White said he and the UFC will continue to cast his support behind Leben, who twice has been suspended by the promotion for drug violations."There was another fight that was starting the show, and I switched it," White told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps). "Believe me, (UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva ran over and let me know he told me that. And he was right. Joe, you're smart, I'm dumb I get it."
"Chris Leben loves to fight there's no doubt about that," he said. "The biggest challenge in Chris Leben's life is battling his demons. We try to help him as much as we can. I love the kid."

- Mark Twain, Joan of Arc
He sits hunched over his ipad, tapping, tapping his forefinger against the screen, a quick occasional glance up at the film on the television. Every now and then, up he pops and scoots over to the other sofa to show me something he's working on, a discovery, an idea, always interested in my opinion, excited to share. The intermittent dazzle of sunshine energizes and gives us hope, yet the somber leaden skies that normally greet us each day with a mournful shake of the head and an oppressive sigh keep us huddled inside, so we spend our days putting together our projects and pushing towards the future.
I find that I write less and less about food. Strange for a food blog, you may say. As life forges ahead in time, my thoughts are wrapped up in our day to day, our plans and projects. Our conversations are concentrated on our sons' educations and how they can possibly build a safe and secure future while living out their passions. We waver between moving to the States, staying in France and wandering off to distant, exotic lands, far-flung and isolated where we can live out an adventure away from the madness of the world. Discussions rage, peppered with laughter and dotted with hijinks, lists are made and blueprints laid out for each and every idea that crosses our minds. As philosophical and thoughtful as we normally are anyway, as practical and orderly as we naturally are, this time of our life, this period of transition and change has made us even more sagacious and reflective and I cannot but help myself, this all comes out in my writing. These momentous decisions haunt my every thought and writing is my own personal way to think each one through, weigh out the consequences. Seeing it all in black on white is my way to measure our words against my own desires and judgment, to fix my emotions and come to my own conclusions. I am, after all, a writer and this process is necessary to me.
Yet this is, as you know, a food blog. And it may seem to those who visit that I randomly throw out recipes, that my choice of what I prepare for my family is haphazard and that the blog posts that I write are totally unconnected to what ensues in the kitchen and vice versa. But there is rhyme and reason to what we, my husband and I, cook and bake. Hidden behind each story I write, each tale of our daily life that I tell is a particular meal, a dish, a cake or treat tacked onto the end with little apparent explanation as to why it is there, yet I do assure you that all is intimately connected. You see, I do not cook simply to feed and nourish my family nor do I simply have the automatic gesture of recreating family traditions. Food and life are intertwined, woven together in a delicate, complicated dance. Yes, we see this at holiday times or when we celebrate one of those many events that dot our lives: births and deaths, marriages and holidays. We flip through our recipe cards handed down from parent to child, the old family favorites, the dishes created without thought or discussion on this special day or that. Yet our every day is a gentle blend of ritual and chance, the predictable and the unexpected. And each requires some carefully thought out and selected sustenance, some comforting refreshment, for normally a craving is triggered, a need kicks in, a desire sparked.
Chez nous, cold, drizzly days call for something rich and steaming, a dish spicy and succulent, chunks of long-simmered lamb or chicken and tender vegetables. Couscous finds its way to the table, a variety of tagines, tangy with preserved lemons and olives or sweet with prunes and almonds, bringing with it memories of old days in hotter, sunnier, more colorful and exotic climes. Misery loves company? Quite possibly, but nothing feeds the blues like a hearty plate of Parmentier, cozy mashed potatoes studded with sweet caramelized onions and blended with sautéed beef or sausages or a bowl of mussels in a wine and shallot broth, the aromatic steam circling up and around your head. Breathe in the goodness and a smile will quickly be found playing on satisfied lips. Soups appear as the cold, damp weather sets in, offering healing and soulful contentment when resignation and despondency threaten to settle in; pizza, focaccia and everything in between are lazy-day recipes when we want to lounge around the television in front of a fun movie, en famille, the four of us together as a family; these, as with all breads, take up a healthy chunk of preparation time, so this usually happens when things are looking up, good news has rolled in and we are all feeling chummy and positive. And desserts, whether fancy cakes or simple, homey goodness like cookies and brownies, well, these are made as a son or husband requires, as the pitter patter of man-sized shoes is heard on the parquet, tromping through the house bored and restless. When fruit is the main ingredient, it usually means there is guilt to be appeased; apples, pears, peaches or citrus assuage a need to return to childhood pleasures and running barefoot in the sun. Berries are for celebration, sweet, tangy and special for their rarity, local strawberries, plump and bursting with flavor, delicate raspberries and tart red currents, also grown in the neighborhood of Nantes, signal something special happening in our lives when we have the ability and desire to splurge just a little. And the familiar is needed, the same old is demanded when the house is filled to overflowing with more men than this lone woman can count, comforting panna cotta or sponge cake, chocolate chip cookies or cinnamon buns, when discussion bordering on argument is on the agenda and when Starting Over tends to make us all restless and introspective; chocolate is required in any shape or form when the American in each of them calls or when one or the other wants to impress.
So, as you see, one can easily read meaning into each recipe I post on my blog without the typical "why I made this recipe and what I found at my local greengrocer" introduction. Philosophy in food form, edible therapy, if you will. No need for me to explain or lead into a recipe, just follow the dots and you should be able to get the general ambiance around here without my having to speak. Like making eye contact across a crowded room or playing charades, the dishes I prepare and then post on my blog along with a seemingly unconnected story are in fact interconnected, one inspiring the other or both inspired by the same general mood, an up or a down, a success or a series of bumps and bruises and together indubitably relay some meaning. Which is why today's sweet treat is a Blueberry Buckle. Good old fashioned American comfort food at its best. Winter blusters and fusses outside, decisions are being hashed and rehashed inside, boys are giving us the same crazy mélange of satisfaction and frustration and the world seems to want to put all of our plans on hold (with some horrid musak version of a Liberace classic piped in as we wait) and nothing consoles and cheers like a classic confection, nothing rich and fancy, just a plain, delicate cake, light and fluffy, studded with sweet spots of fruit and topped with streusel with a hint of cinnamon. Nothing. Believe me.
An afternoon spent with Dianne wandering around the old French Quarter of New Orleans on a steaming afternoon of August found us in a wonderful shop filled with kitchen goodies, local treats and specialties and, yes, cookbooks. I always purchase one cookbook wherever I travel to, a tradition that brings great pleasure, and I try and find a cookbook of local or regional dishes or baking. This, I find, is a wonderful way to carry the memories and experience of a trip and a special place with me back home. While in that bookstore in New Orleans, I happened upon a book that intrigued: Cooking Up a Storm, Recipes Lost and Found from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans. This wonderful cookbook is more than just a collection of recipes, the renowned, authentic dishes of this city and a tale of a rich, diverse, fascinating culinary history. You see, The Times-Picayune newspaper became a post-hurricane Katrina swapping place for old recipes that were washed away in the storm. Marcelle Bienvenu and Judy Walker have compiled more than 225 of these delicious, authentic recipes along with the stories of how they came to be and what they mean to those who have searched so hard to find them again. As my son spent a year volunteering in the aftermath of Katrina, helping to rebuild the destroyed Lower Ninth Ward, I feel a personal connection to what happened and how the city is pulling itself together and working to preserve and safeguard their culinary legacy.
And I settled on the Blueberry Buckle for one rainy winter afternoon of hardcore family discussion. I made a few subtle changes: I used frozen blueberries for fresh – blueberries are extremely rare to find in Nantes (thus very expensive not to mention flown in from far away) and impossible in the winter months, and frozen wild blueberries, I find, have more flavor than fresh – and I did not thaw them before using; I had no buttermilk so substituted a blend of 0% low fat fromage frais and lowfat milk, about half and half; I ran out of unsalted butter – believe it or not – and used salted butter for the cake (not the streusel) and so reduced the salt quantity to ¼ teaspoon. Well, the cake is fabulous! Light, fluffy, delicate and flavorful, just as it should be, with tangy sweet berries and just the perfect balance of streusel. I will make this over and over again. And am now looking forward to making many more of the delightful recipes in this cookbook.
From Cooking Up a Storm edited by Marcelle Bienvenu and Judy Walker
Streusel Topping
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup flour
4 Tbs unsalted butter
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¾ cup sugar
4 Tbs unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsps baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup buttermilk
2 ½ cups fresh blueberries or 2 cups frozen
Prepare the Streusel Topping:
With a fork or your fingers, combine all the streusel ingredients in a small bowl until the mixture has a crumbly consistency. Set aside. (I put the bowl of streusel in the refrigerator while I prepared the cake batter so the butter wouldn't get soft which would make it more difficult to crumble over the cake).
Prepare the cake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease (with butter) a 9-inch square pan.
Beat the sugar and butter together with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then the vanilla.
Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl. Add this to the sugar and butter alternately with the buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Fold in the blueberries just until evenly distributed then spread the cake batter out in the pan and top with the streusel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
We all fell in love with this Blueberry Buckle and find that it makes the perfect breakfast or snack cake.

Comments about Outback Trading Co. Outback Men's Low Ride Duster Coat:
I am a merchandise conveyance restocking technician for the great and evil empire. Ok- I'm a cart pusher at [@]. My position is much like that of the postal service in that: I must work through rain, sleet and dead of night. Sometimes all in the same day. This jacket provides the warmth, comfort, durability and protection from moisture that I need in order to perform my job as needed. Definitely one of the best purchases I have made in awhile. High-quality Australian oilskin lined for comfort and double stitched for longevity. I would recommend for anyone in need of a tough, rugged jacket to get the job done.

Comments about Outback Trading Co. Outback Men's Low Ride Duster Coat:
I am a stable hand at a college equine center. I work outside in ALL weather conditions. I have been needing a coat that will keep me dry and warm when it is snowing or raining. I bought this coat Dec. 27th, 2010. The 3rd time I wore it one of the snaps on the front pocket fell off when I unsnaped it, I had never even used or unsnaped the pockets before that. By the 6th time I wore it the seam on the front flap had riped. The lining in the sleeves tends to stick out allowing them to get wet. This coat is not the slightest bit warm and actually gets quite cold, the colder it is out side the colder the coat gets and you will be cold if you do not have lots of layers or a good fleece on under it. I talked to someone who told me they had one once and had the liner for it and the liner didn't really help keep you any warmer (so I'm glad I didn't waste money on that to). The only good thing about this coat is that it does keep me dry for the most part, though I will have to re-waterproof it before next winter - if it hold together that long. If you need a good coat save yourself the hassel Don't Buy This, Go buy a Columbia or a Carhart you'll be much better off.

Hey I stumbled across this reference drawing - not sure how accurate it is but I found it on the QuickLOAD/QuickDESIGN software site:
ETA I see that some of the information is already posted in this thread. What I am really looking for is how "short" of a bullet can you go with them. There may be some possibilites of using .308 equipment if there is a short enough bullet.

Ok...bumping my own thread for reference referral. :-)
I do have magazines in hand (TIGR-9) and want to get this project finally off the ground. I am thinking of using the front stub and trunnion off of a M76 as the basis for a reweld receiver.
Any thoughts on a bolt or anything else?
Could you get a tigr receiver in Russia, demill it, import it, and reweld it in the US?
Not sure, but I do have access to one that I can take measurements and photos of.
63,000 PSI is up there. Id want a three lug trunion on that. are any of the 30-06 sagias avaliable any were???? that would be my starting point.
I'll take a look at the TIGR-9 bolt and trunnion and see how they have it set up.
I believe the Tigr-9 bolt is three lug but it rotates the other way from the Saiga.
Can anyone tell me where I could find blue prints for the SVD/Dragonuv/Romak??Pardon my ignorance,I just like the idea of the semi auto version of 7.62x54r and would like to build such a rifle,

My 5 month old DS has always sounded "mucuousy". The doctors have thought on and off that it was reflux, even though he has no other reflux symptoms, and the reflux meds never seem to help. It seems like he's had a cold/cough for the last 2 months. He was tested for RSV (negative). He had a chest xray Friday and his right lung has spots, which could be normal congestion, bronchitis, or maybe pneumonia. He's on his third round of antibiotics in the last month. I don't think more antibiotics is the answer, and we can't stay on antibiotics forever.
My husband found mold in an area by the furnace, and has cleaned it out. We are thinking of hiring duct cleaners to get the entire home. I hope this helps. I really want to figure out why he's sick all the time. Some people point to daycare, but I don't think it's that. He's been home for the last 11 days and is still sick, and it seems to be worse.
Does anyone have any experience with recurring respiratory illnesses and/or mold in the home?

ST. MARYS – Johnsonburg (4-4) jumped out to an early 13-0 lead Thursday afternoon in the consolation game of the Elk County Holiday Basketball Tournament and cruised to a lopsided 41-14 win over Ridgway (0-8).
Johnsonburg senior Justis Myers paced all scorers with 15 points on the day while outscoring the Lady Elkers. Myers finished the 2010 county tournament with 27 points.
One day removed from a 65-36 loss to eventual county champion St. Marys (8-0), the Lady Elkers did not break through the double-digit barrier until the final minutes of Thursday's game.
"I thought we played well [Wednesday against St. Marys] but we were just flat [Thursday], and we couldn't make a shot," said Ridgway head girls' varsity basketball coach Glenn Schauer following the loss. "Once things didn't go our way, the girls had their heads down and we need to work on that.
"We're down by 12 points at the half, we're still in the game and could've come back, but we have to learn to keep pushing."
Down 13-0 in the second quarter, Ridgway finally got on the board after sophomore Katie Oknefski drained two free throws with 7:03 on the clock. A 2-point field goal from junior Nicole Breier cut the lead to 13-4 and another Breier basket down the stretch cut the lead to 10 with 2:13 to go in the first half. A layup from Johnsonburg senior Taylor Harvey set the halftime score at 18-6.
To pressure the Lady Elkers, the Ramettes used a 'trap' defensive scheme where two players double-team whoever possesses the ball. The plan worked for Johnsonburg as the Ramettes caused several turnovers en route to the 27-point victory.
"[The trap] works well when our players do it right but when we do it wrong, we don't get back in time and a good team will get easy layups on you," said Johnsonburg head girls' varsity basketball coach Mike Zilkofski. "But [Thursday], it worked to our advantage."
Despite the successful scheme, Schauer said he was unsure as to why the trap was working against Ridgway.
"We had trouble with that but I don't know why because we've seen it before and we've been over it so we should've been able to break that easily, and we didn't," Schauer said. "We did a real poor job on that and Johnsonburg did OK with it but it wasn't anything special-- we should've been able to break that."
Johnsonburg put the game away by storming out in the second half for a 9-0 run to go up 27-6 midway through the third quarter. A Breier offering under the basket halted the run with 3:05 remaining in the third quarter to cut the lead to 27-8.
Between the third and fourth quarter, the Ramettes ran off another scoring streak, this time a 12-0 run highlighted by 3-pointers from junior TommI Wildnauer and sophomore Rhianon Fowler. It was Fowler's second trey on the night as she finished with eight points.
Back-to-back 3-pointers from Ridgway freshman Jenni Thomas and senior Brianna Stenta pushed the Lady Elkers into double figures in the 41-14 loss.
"We're a really young team but we were able to get younger players in so they could gain experience," Schauer said. "They're learning and it's a bunch of sophomores and freshmen but they're all learning. They put in a lot of time and I think they're doing a nice job.
"We have a few players who are injured and I think that's affecting us a lot."
Coming off a 35-29 loss Wednesday against Elk County Catholic as they squandered a seven-point lead, Zilkofski said he was more than happy with his team's turnaround.
"I told our players in the locker room before the game [Thursday against Ridgway] that the Elk County Catholic game is over, it's behind us and we have to focus on Ridgway," Zilkofski said. "Our players came out and ran the zone offense the way it should be, but I wish we could've penetrated more and looked inside a bit more but overall, we passed the ball well and shot well.
"We scored a lot of baskets off the press and to come back against Elk County Catholic and win like we did, I'm happy to be 4-4 right now."
The Ramettes will travel Jan. 7 for a game against Kane, while Ridgway will travel Jan. 5 for a contest against DuBois.

I have been on a journey for the past year and a half ... both emotionally and literally.
Mine began with joy and excitement when in July 2011 my son announced that he had asked his girlfriend of almost three years to marry him. She said "yes" in front of the
Brett and Elizabeth met during training for their new jobs in D.C. in 2008. She lived in upstate
I was impressed.
In anticipation of the marriage, my Southern born and bred son gave up all that was familiar and made the move to
Brett wanted the wedding to be held in
I went to bat for the bride, as I knew the wedding day belongs to the bride. Eventually Brett gave in and planning began in earnest.
As the mother of the groom, I stayed out of the planning for the most part, as I tried to remember the sage old advice that the mother of the groom should keep her mouth shut and wear beige — although beige is not my color.
The bride and groom selected a historic chapel in
The reception would be held off site at The Lodge at Welch Allyn, just a few miles away.
The selections looked lovely, but nothing like what my son described as "a casual wedding."
And when the mother of the bride sent pictures of the designer dress she had selected, the pressure was on.
The good news, though, was that the mother of the bride's dress was essentially beige! That meant I could choose a real color! My daughters and I began searching, trying on, taking photos of ourselves in different dresses, and emailing them to each other for support, opinions, and coordination ... and this went on for months.
My friends tried to help dress me, but in the end, this occasion was so important to me that it was something I had to do on my own. I knew what I wanted, and I knew how I wanted to look, and that is something only I could zero in on.
I ended up with two dresses of my own choosing — one for the ceremony at the historic chapel, and one for the swanky reception site.
When I flew up for the wedding last week, those two dresses and their accessories were all that was in my carry-on bag so that I could guard them for a safe arrival.
I arrived a day early to meet the parents and get comfortable. I really didn't know what to expect since the first impression I had heard from my son was that the mother was something like me. To that, I could only ask, "And you're still dating her?!" To which my son chuckled.
What I found was a woman who did indeed have several qualities that I possess. I liked her a lot and felt right at home.
The next day was even better as my son called to tell me he was on his way to see me and was available to spend the afternoon with me. Sweet!
He showed me the chapel where he would marry two days later, and the lodge where the reception would be held. We walked around the small town where it is located, then went to a small vineyard nearby that was holding a wine tasting.
That night, my daughters arrived and the family celebration began.
Friday night was rehearsal at the chapel and my first time to see the father of my children in a dozen years. Any anxiety I had about that was gone in a matter of minutes. The rehearsal and the dinner that followed went very well.
The next day's afternoon wedding was the culmination of years of weeping on my part, whenever I thought about giving up my son.
My daughters and I arrived on time, and I found my son looking for me.
I had the opportunity to pin his corsage to his gray suit, pose for a private photo op, and kiss him goodbye.
As I stood waiting to enter the chapel at my appointed cue, I fought to keep the tears at bay. Why would I cry? My son had chosen the perfect wife, and I approved.
I still don't know how to explain it, but I could not keep the tears at bay.
When my cue came, the wedding planner said, go — and smile.
I smiled, as the tears streamed down my cheeks, all the way down the aisle.
I blew my son a kiss as I entered my pew where my daughters waited, and he smiled.
My son never stopped smiling, even as his bride entered in her gorgeous gown, on the arm of her father.
He never stopped smiling as they held hands and exchanged vows; nor did she.
As they exited down the aisle, I thought to myself, "I have never seen a happier couple. I have never seen two people more thrilled to look forward to spending the rest of their lives together. I have never seen two people more right for each other."
We all danced the night away at The Lodge at Welch Allyn, as we all bestowed our blessings on this glorious love union.
My son and I danced to Elton John's "You Are Blessed" after
The dresses were perfect; the camaraderie was perfect; every detail was perfect. I am so blessed.
