WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS: The 65th-ranked New Mexico men's tennis team (14-5, 5-0) won its second consecutive Mountain West Conference regular-season title with a 5-0 record in conference play to earn the top seed in the Mountain West Conference Championships this weekend at San Diego State. As the top seed, the Lobos earned a bye in the first round and will play the winner of No. 4 BYU and No. 5 Utah on Friday at 11 a.m. If the Lobos win that match, they will advance to the finals on Saturday at 12 p.m.
San Diego State University will host the 2004 Mountain West Conference Men's Tennis Championship April 29-May 1 at Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego. This will mark the first time in conference history that the event will be held at Barnes. Barnes Tennis Center was built in 1995 and completed in 1997. The 4.5 million dollar facility was made possible with generous public and private donations.
The winner of the Mountain West Conference Tournament receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Last year the Lobos shared the regular-season crown with BYU and San Diego State. The Lobos fell to San Diego State in the MWC Championship game, 4-3. The last time UNM hosted the championships was 2002, resulting in a win for the Lobos.
RECORD BREAKING YEAR: Senior Divan Coetzee, ranked No. 25, is making history at UNM. Coetzee has taken control of the single season record for wins. He is currently 35-9 overall and 17-4 at No. 1 singles. The record was previously held by Matt Amgwerd, who won 34 singles matches in the 1999-00 season.
Coetzee now has a career record of 94-29 that he has compiled in three short years. Coetzee needs two more wins to tie Pepe Caballero for the most wins in UNM men's tennis history. Caballero, playing from 1995-99, went 96-56 overall.
As long as Coetzee can remain healthy, an undetermined number of matches at the Mountain West Conference Championships. The Lobos will definitely play in the semifinals (Friday, April 30th at 11 a.m.) and could compete in the championship match on Saturday, May 1. Coetzee may also get an invite to the NCAA singles tournament, which he has participated in the last two consecutive years.
NIPPING AT HIS HEALS: While senior Divan Coetzee is having a record breaking year and getting all the attention, you may not have noticed the play of junior David Kowalski.
Kowalski had an impressive showing at regionals in the fall. He entered as the seventh seed and quickly advanced to the semifinal round with four straight wins. His most impressive win was over the fourth seeded, No. 85 Guillaume Bouvier of Boise State. Kowalski sliced up Bouvier, 6-4, 6-1 to advance to the semifinals.
In the spring, he has gone 13-8 at No. 2 singles. He came into the year with a 41-25 career record and now he is 64-39 overall. That record leaves him 17th all-time and he still has one more year of eligibility.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Following an illness-filled opening round, the Cal State Northridge women's golf team posted a 19-stroke improvement carding a second round 292 at the Price's "Give 'Em Five" Intercollegiate at New Mexico State University G.C.
Several Matador players were under the weather on Monday when the team finished with a team score of 311, the highest 18-hole score of the season. But Tuesday was a different story as CSUN posted a team score of 292 to move up to ninth place.
"The girls felt a lot better today and that showed in our scores," said Bonnie Murphy. "One more day out here certainly helped their course management."
Junior Kylie Kimura again led the Matadors as she posted a second round one over-par 73 after an opening round 75. She is currently tied for 18th at (+4) 148, eight shots off the lead.
Senior Ashlee Nagamine, who was 41st after Monday's round of 77, carded a (+2) 74 on Tuesday to move up to 34th at (+7) 151. Junior Ellen Krausse followed up Monday's 80 with an even-par round of 72 on Tuesday to move into 41st at (+8) 152.
Senior Maurissa Medina had a seven-shot improvement on Tuesday, posting a 73 after Monday's 80. Medina is currently tied for 44th at (+9) 153. Sophomore Margo Dionisio rounded out the Matador scoring with a round of (+3) 75 while left her tied for 49th at (+10) 154.
"Hopefully we can play better or at least duplicate what we did today in the final round tomorrow," added Murphy.
Host New Mexico State is tied for the team lead with first-round leader Baylor after two rounds. The Aggies and Mississippi State fired the best rounds of the day with a (+3) 291.
The tournament concludes with 18 holes on Wednesday.

UC Davis establishes center for coffee study
DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — University of California students who drink coffee to get through the day will soon be able to study the science behind the beverage.
Next week UC Davis will host a research conference run by the university's recently founded Coffee Center.
The Sacramento Bee reports Friday (http://bit.ly/1jZj7Uj ) that the center is currently without a dedicated home. But J. Bruce German, director of the university's Foods for Health Institute, says the conference is first step toward establishing a dedicated coffee research study center — similar to the school's Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science.
German says UC Davis could eventually offer a major in coffee science.
The March 11 conference will cover topics such as the genetics of coffee, sustainability in coffee growing, and the sensory perception of coffee drinkers.

This is the initial release for the new command line utility AnyCmd. It is designed as a replacement for the AnyTool2 utility witten by bigdude.
Legal stuff: By downloading this software you agree to the following:
This software is FREEWARE and is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty. Use at own risk !! No support, but use as you see fit and circulate freely. In no event will the authors be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this software.
This is third-party software and not supported by Slysoft in AnyWay, shape, or forum.
Install: Unzip and copy it anywhere.
Usage: AnyCmd [enable][disable][stop][help]
[rip <Drive Letter> <Target>] -ow -log
[ripiso <Drive Letter> <Target>] -ow -log
[ripraw <Drive Letter> <Target>] -ow -log
enable or e :Enable AnyDVD.
disable or d :disable AnyDVD.
stop or -s :Shutdown AnyDVD.
help or -h :Shows usage information.
rip* :Same as ripraw for now.
ripiso :Rip DVD files to specified target iso file.
ripraw :Rip DVD files to specified target without renaming folder.
-ow :Overwrite existing files.
-log :Creates a log file in the current folder.
Example: AnyCmd.exe ripios f "C:\Folder Path\Folder\1234567890.iso"
AnyCmd.exe ripraw f "C:\Folder Path\Folder"
NOTE: rip options will create the target path if it does not exist.
* Feature not fully implemented.
AnyCmd : This is the initial release. Im sure there are some bugs hiding in there somewhere but I can only do so much testing. I tried to make this a replacement tool for AnyTool2 and so I matched the command line format that AnyTool2 used. Since this is the first version I would have to actually call this a beta because there are still some things that I would like to fix or improve upon.
Note worthy:
rip VS. ripraw - Currently, these params do the same thing. I havent had a chance to put in the directory renaming stuff yet. This is how I understand the issue.
Useful in scripts: The behavior of the ripper is a bit of a problem for that because when ripping files it creates a folder based on the Media volume label. The problem is that a lot of media actually has no volume label so running several into the same target folder would cause them to clobber each others output. I am adding code to find the folder created and rename it DVD or DVD-001 etc. that way a script could rip from several drives sequentially.
enable enable returns immediately after AnyDVD is enabled or launched. If AnyDVD is not running it will start it. If it start in a diabled state then it will try to enable it. I dont see a reliable way on knowing when AnyDVD is done scanning and goes into its ready state. Some discs can take a long time to scan and if you have multiple drives or virtual drives this could take a while. If this becomes a problem with scripting let me know and I can work on it some more.
New feature: I have also added some new features
-log - Creates a log file in the same directory where you are running AnyCmd from.
-ow - Tells AnyCmd to answer Yes to the overwrite dialog box.
The tools tries its best to anticipate any dialog boxes that pop up but Im sure there are a few situation I have missed so just let me know. This was mainly tested on XP and Windows 7.
You can email me at email@example.com, post in this thread or PM me.
Ill do my best to monitor this over the next couple of weeks and to fix any broken stuff.
-Tom G.

Scouting Report
By Charlie Widdoes (Twitter)
Knicks vs. Timberwolves | Madison Square Garden
When: Wednesday | 7:30 PM
Where to Watch: MSG
Where to Listen: ESPN 98.7 FM
Team Reports
New York: After opening the season with back-to-back games, the Knicks got a chance to catch their breath before tonight's test at the Garden. They split the first two, defeating Milwaukee at home and then losing by one in Chicago when Carmelo Anthony's last-second jumper glanced off the rim. New pieces are being integrated into the rotation, including Andrea Bargnani and rookie Tim Hardaway Jr., and so far, the defense appears to ahead of the offense. Assistant Coach Jim Todd told Jonah Ballow that the goal is to hold teams below 95 points this year, and they've been successful with that in the first two games.
Minnesota: The Timberwolves have been considered a playoff contender for the past few years, but injuries have kept getting in the way. Rick Adelman's team is healthy now, and looking good early on. After beating Orlando in overtime, they put a 19-point drubbing on Oklahoma City on Friday behind their big three of Kevin Love (24 points and 12 rebounds), Ricky Rubio (14 points and 10 assists), and Nikola Pekovic (15 points and 10 rebounds).
The Numbers Game
After struggling with injuries toward the end of last season, Tyson Chandler seems to have regained the form that made him an All-Star. Through two games, he has pulled down 25 rebounds and blocked nine shots.
Matchup to Watch
Carmelo Anthony vs. Kevin Love
Two of the premier forwards in the game, Anthony and Love do things differently but are equally important to their teams' success. Love is a brilliant passer and rebounder and causes headaches for defenses with his ability to stretch the floor out to three-point range. "He's a load," said Melo after Saturday's practice. "He's a legit power forward." His numbers through two games (27.5 points and 14.5 rebounds) might be a little inflated, but that's the kind of production Minnesota fans hope for from the guy who missed 64 games a year ago with various injuries. Melo has played both forward spots this year as Mike Woodson searches for the right lineup combinations, struggling to shoot 40 percent from the field but staying agressive.
What to Look For
The Knicks focus, as it always is, will be on protecting home court tonight. Woodson has always stressed the importance of winning at home, and with two straight at the Garden, New York is hoping to head to Charlotte on Friday with a 3-1 record. We'll see how Bargnani continues to work his way into the groove; after logging only 17 minutes in the opener, he played more than 24 against Chicago and caught fire for a stretch in the second half and ending up with nine points on 4-of-7 shooting -- an encouraging sign for Knicks fans. Hardaway and Iman Shumpert have been solid on the wings so far; their combination of shooting, athleticism and defensive intensity could provide an edge for the home team against Minnesota's wings, Kevin Martin and Corey Brewer.

Winter Radiance by Claudia Seymour, 2005, pastel, 15 x 11. What sort of fixative, if any, should pastel artists apply to finished
works? "Used properly and sparingly, fixative is a godsend," says artist Claudia
Seymour. Our experts agree—but they also offer words of caution about using the
right materials in a safe environment.
Have a question about painting? Get it answered in the pages of American Artist.
Have you ever wondered whether a specific combination of mediums will
work well with a certain type of paint? Not sure about the best way to frame or
present your artwork? Need advice on repairing a damaged piece?
Every month, American
Artist features a Technical Q+A column, in which our art experts suggest
solutions to problems like these. And we want to answer your questions!
Group of Trees by Gilles-Francois-Joseph Closson, oil on paper mounted to
canvas, 14 3/4 x 19 1/8.
Mounting paper to canvas used to be a common method painters would use
to increase the price at which they could sell their works. But doing this
without damaging the work can be difficult.
We are going to address as many of them as we can, so feel free to ask
technical questions about any part of your artistic process, in any media.
I would like to know if Gamblin and Winsor & Newton have a red that is equivalent to Grumbacher red and what would it be.
I suggest contacting each manufacturer through their site. They will probably give you their closest color. I would suggest going to an art store and very gently removing the cap without squeezing the tube and see for yourself. If your even more careful, very gently tap the paint with your pinky finger and smudge it onto a piece of white paper to see how it gradates. If there is oil instead of pigment, skip that tube so you don't make a mess.
Also if Grumbacher red works for you, why change brands?
@KatPaints Thanks for the quick response.
I would like to continue to use Grumbacher red. It's a great red and it's exactly what I need. But for some reason the paint drying in the tube a little quicker than I think it should. Maybe I need to contact Grumbacher and ask them if this is characteristic of their Grumbacher red.
@rhoustons, have you considered looking into different mediums or changing the ratio of thinner and oil in your basic medium?
I personally have some different pigments that dry at different rates, I've had to add just a little extra lindseed oil to specific paints.
Also I have noticed that most of the reds that I come across do tend to dry faster, comparatively. Just as, in most cases, yellows seem to be the slowest driers.

April 12, 2004
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Junior shortstop Josh Mader (Albuquerque, N.M./Cibola High School) has been named the Mountain West Baseball Player of the Week, the conference office announced this afternoon. This marks the first time in his career that Mader has earned the award.
Mader posted excellent numbers in road trips to No. 13 Nebraska and Utah last week, batting .409 with three homers, 10 RBI and a slugging percentage of .909. He tied a career high with five RBI by going 3-for-5, including a solo homer, at Nebraska on Tuesday, April 6.
The Albuquerque native followed that effort by hitting .462 in the Utah series, leading the Lobos to their second series win over Utah this season. In Thursday's 15-4 blowout win over the Utes, Mader went 3-for-5 with three runs and four RBI, including two homers in UNM's nine-run third inning. In Saturday's finale, he went 2-for-3 with a run scored.
Mader currently leads the team with 29 RBI and a .375 batting average.
The New Mexico baseball team returns to action this weekend (April 16-18) for a three-game series at Air Force.

Mercy And Judgment by Canon F.W. Farrar
Put into electronic form by Tentmaker Ministries and Publications, Inc. Copyright 200 May not be reproduced without permission.
"So runs my creed: but what am I?
An infant crying in the night:
An infant crying in the light:
And with no language but a cry." — TENNYSON
"And Thou, oh God, by whom are seen
All creatures as they be,
Forgive me, if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee." — WHITTIER .
But to conclude: If, as I have shown, the ultimate extinction of the being of sinners appears to be taught by the literal meaning of many passages of Scripture; and if the final restoration of all mankind appears also to be taught in many passages of Scripture; and if the popular conception of endless torments for the vast majority is nowhere indisputably taught in Scripture; and if it is only by inference we are led to the fear that any souls may be finally excluded from the presence of God at the end of the ages; if, I say, these are the conclusions to which Scripture alone has led us, what is it that on this subject I finally believe?
It will be seen at once that I propound no "Optimist theory" (as it has been called), "that all men will be saved"; though since the suppression of the old 42 nd article that view is nowhere declared to be untenable in our formularies as interpreted by the highest authority. Still less do I teach that all men will attain to everlasting felicity, or that — to refer to the coarse instance selected by Jerome — a Jezebel will be at last as a Virgin Mary. Nay, I do not even say that some men may not for ever suffer form the consequences of their sins, and from impenitence respecting them, dearly as I wish that it were possible for us to believe in final universal felicity as a glorious triumph of the love of God and the cross of Christ. But I think that even if some portion of the "pain of loss" may continue for ever, there is nothing to sanction the assertion that such hopes as sinners may here embrace may not also be open to them, at least until the great Judgment, in the Intermediate State beyond the grave. The death of the soul shall last as long as its willing sinfulness lasts, and its "hell" burn as long as its enmity to God continues. The only hope is that form this sin and this enmity it may at last — far off — before the end of the ages — possibly be saved. Hell and death are endless conditions so long as there is persistent impenitence. They cease when the soul repents, but not till then. But who shall say that when the moment of death is over there can be no further answer to the sinner's cry, "Will the Lord cast off for ever, and will He be favourable no more? Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Doth His promise fail for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He shut up His lovingkindness in displeasure?"
But it is due to my readers that I should try to express this in language as clear as the subject admits, not by way of laying down a dogma or of giving expression to a novelty, but by stating what I hold to be the teaching — not of sects or of individuals, or even of majorities, - but of the Catholic Church, of which I am, and ever have been, a loyal and faithful, though most humble and most unworthy son.
In accordance then with what the Church has ever held — adding nothing to that Catholic creed, and subtracting nothing form it,
I believe that on the subject of man's future it has been God's will to leave us uninstructed in details that He has vouchsafed to us only so much light as may serve to guide our lives.
I believe in God the Father, the Creator; in God the Son, the Redeemer; in God the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
I believe that God is Love.
I believe that God willeth all men to be saved.
I believe that God has given to all men the gift of immortality, and that the gifts of God are without repentance.
I believe that every man shall stand before the Judgment-seat of Christ, and shall be judged according to his deeds.
I believe that He who shall be our Judge is He who died for the sins of the whole world.
I believe that "if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, and He is the propitiation for our sins."
I believe in the forgiveness of sins.
I believe that all who are saved are saved only by grace through faith; and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God.
I believe that every penitent and pardoned soul will pass from this life into a condition of hope, blessedness, and peace.
I believe that man's destiny stops not at the grave, and that many who knew not Christ here will know Him there.
I believe that "in the depths of the Divine compassion there may be opportunity to win faith in the future state."
I believe that hereafter — whether by means of the "almost-sacrament of death" or in other ways unknown to us — God's mercy may reach many who, to all earthly appearance, might seem to us to die in a lost and unregenerate state.
I believe that as unrepented sin is punished here, so also it is punished beyond the grave.
I believe that the punishment is effected, not by arbitrary inflictions, but by natural and inevitable consequences, and therefore that the expressions which have been interpreted to mean physical and material agonies by worm and flame are metaphors for a state of remorse and alienation from God.
I see reasons to hope that these agonies may be so tempered by the mercy of God that the soul may hereafter find some measure of peace and patience, even if it be not admitted into His vision and His sabbath.
I believe that among the punishments of the world to come there are "few stripes" as well as "many stripes", and I do not see how any fair interpretation of the metaphor, "few stripes", can be made to involve the conception of endlessness for all who incur future retribution.
I believe that Christ went and preached to the spirits in prison, and I see reasons to hope that since the Gospel was thus once preached "to them that were dead", the offers of God's mercy may in some form be extended to the soul, even after death.
I believe that there is an Intermediate State of the soul, and that the great separation of souls into two classes will not take place until the final judgment.
I believe that we are permitted to hope that, whether by a process of discipline, or enlightenment, or purification, or punishment, or by the special mercy of God in Christ, or in consequence of prayer, the state of many souls may be one of progress and diminishing sorrow, and of advancing happiness in the Intermediate State .
I believe that there will be degrees of blessedness and degrees of punishment or deprivation, and I see reasons to hope that there may be gradual mitigations of penal doom to all souls that accept the Will of God respecting them.
I believe, as Christ has said, that "all manner of sin shall be forgiven unto men, and their blasphemies, however greatly they shall blaspheme", and that as there is but one sin of which He said that it should be forgiven neither in this aeon nor in the next, there must be some sins which will be forgiven in the next as well as in this.
I believe that without holiness no man can see the Lord, and that no sinner can be pardoned or accepted till he has repented, and till his free will is in unison with the Will of God; and I cannot tell whether some souls may not resist God for ever, and therefore may not be for ever shut out from His presence.
And I believe that to be without God is "hell"; and that in this sense there is a hell beyond the grave; and that for any soul to fall even for a time into this condition, though it be through its own hardened impenitence and resistance of God's grace, is a very awful and terrible prospect; and that in this sense there may be for some souls an endless hell. But I see reason to hope that through God's mercy, and through the merits of Christ's sacrifice, the great majority of mankind may be delivered from this awful doom. For, according to the Scriptures, though, I know not what its nature will be or how it will be effected,
I believe in the restitution of all things; and
I believe in the coming of that time when, - though in what sense I cannot pretend to explain or to fathom —
( Doxa tw Qew. )

Burglar took TV and bag as Stoke pub landlady slept
Posted: January 29, 2013|
PROLIFIC burglar James Corcoran left a pub landlady terrified after breaking into the venue as she slept.
The 32-year-old entered the living quarters above the Grays Corner pub, in Stoke, through an unlocked window, Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard yesterday.
Prosecutor Heather Chamberlin said the pub was closed for a refurbishment at the time of the break-in, in the early hours of August 13, and the landlady woke at 3.15am to find windows and doors had been opened.
Miss Chamberlin said: "She was very frightened. She locked herself in the bedroom and called the police.
Related content
"When the officers arrived she looked round and realised her handbag had been taken from the bedroom next to the one she had been sleeping in."
The court heard a 42-inch television had also been stolen.
Officers noted the intruder entered through a window and fingerprints matched the defendant's.
Corcoran was arrested on November 12. In his police interview he answered no comment to questions but did say: "They have stitched me up."
However, Corcoran, of Fletcher Road, Stoke, later pleaded guilty to burglary.
The court was told Corcoran had numerous previous convictions for burglary. He received a community order in December and was jailed for four months earlier this month for burgling a chemists.
Jason Holt, mitigating, said Corcoran was not aware the pub's living quarters were occupied.
"He made entry via an insecure, transient window," said Mr Holt.
"That appears to be his preferred method of entry.
"However, I accept there have been forced entries in the past."
But Mr Holt said this was an opportunistic burglary.
"It was certainly not planned," he said. "He was in a difficult place at the time. He is a young man who has struggled through his adult life with a drug addiction. At the time he was sleeping rough," said Mr Holt.
He said Corcoran had been dealt with for a number of offences since that night and added that the defendant was now on a methadone reduction programme and had gone through a period of detoxification while in custody.
Judge Paul Glenn said the minimum sentencing provisions applied because of Corcoran's previous convictions and he jailed him for three years. The judge said: "You burgled these premises while the female licensee was in bed.
"There was plainly potential for confrontation and the items stolen were never recovered. This offence caused her inconvenience and stress."
Judge Glenn said the offence was committed while Corcoran was on bail and subject to a community order.
He added: "You are a prolific burglar. Having committed this, you carried on offending afterwards and ended up with a sentence in January."
Corcoran will serve up to half the sentence with the rest on licence.

It stung, he says, that people think the project is just about money, as if anything dealing with Columbine is a guaranteed blockbuster. He spent the better part of ten years researching his book and challenging the core myths about the attack — for example, that Harris and Klebold were out to kill jocks — but most major publishers weren't interested. Even after the book won rave reviews, major studios passed on the idea of a feature-film adaptation.
"It was this project nobody wanted to do, based on this very dark material," he says. "People who think it's a moneymaker, I would love for them to go to Hollywood and have that conversation with the studios that said no."
After some high-profile industry names became attached to the proposal — writer/director Tommy O'Haver (An American Crime) and producers Michael DeLuca (Moneyball, The Social Network) and Christine Vachon and Pam Koffler (Boys Don't Cry) — Lifetime became interested in it as a "prestige project," something to help change the network's image.
"I was leaning all the time toward doing it as a miniseries on TV," Cullen says. "You can tell a much more involved story that way."
Cullen expects to have considerable input into the adaptation, which he says will give due attention to survivors' stories as well as that of the killers. He doesn't anticipate that the miniseries will inspire copycats, because the "actual" Harris and Klebold, stripped of their mythologies, "are pretty unappealing." For economy's sake, the script may contain composite characters on the periphery of the story, but the intent is to tell a true story: "It's definitely all real names, real people, keeping it as real as possible."
Yet it's precisely the assertion of the project's authenticity that most troubles its opponents. In the Columbine community, Cullen's book is widely regarded not as the definitive account of the massacre and its aftermath, but one version of it, with its own biases and questionable interpretations. The second chapter portrays Harris as a chick magnet, an assertion based largely on the account of one reputed girlfriend whom police investigators concluded wasn't credible; several people who knew the killers well believe both Harris and Klebold died as virgins. ("Right now I'm trying to get fucked and trying to finish off these time bombs," Harris wrote two weeks before the attack.) It's one thread in a larger dispute some readers have with Cullen's work — which, in their view, downplays the role of bullying and other factors in its efforts to portray Harris as a well-integrated psychopath and Klebold as his depressed, rejected follower.
It's doubtful that even the most nuanced version of the killers' motives would satisfy all camps. Harris and Klebold offered contradictory explanations for their hatred and despair. They were filled with rage over perceived slights from family members and the "bitches" who rejected them, but they also believed they had "evolved one step above you fucking human shit." They offered ample warning signs of their intentions because they suspected, correctly, that almost no one was paying attention. They disparaged religion but clung to a hope that they would somehow be able to enjoy their dead-celebrity status. They pursued their apocalyptic plot for months, with the monomania of terrorists, even as their lives seemingly improved, yet they were adept at blaming others for their isolation and contempt for the whole world. "I hate you people for leaving me out of so many fun things," Harris wrote in the final, self-pitying entry in his journal. That's not an explanation — just another expression of long-nurtured grievances by an angry, deeply delusional teenager.
A few of Cullen's most vocal critics say they don't trust his book because he relies so heavily on sources among law enforcement and school officials, including Jefferson County lead investigator Kate Battan, FBI agent Dwayne Fuselier (whose psychological analysis of the killers Cullen presents as if handed down from Mount Sinai) and principal Frank DeAngelis — people that Columbine families accused of misleading them or providing self-serving accounts. Although Cullen deals in a roundabout way with the police cover-up concerning prior investigations of the killers and their blunders on the day of the attack, he also describes the law-enforcement officials — several of whom lied outright to the media and the victims' families — as "essentially honest men," and he makes a point of proclaiming that Battan "was clean."
"He was working with Battan and Fuselier to make the police look good," says Brian Rohrbough, who fought in court for years to establish that the official account of how his son Danny died outside the school was wrong. "He glosses over the cover-up as if it's an incidental thing."
When Columbine was published, three years ago, Rohrbough and other parents were incensed to learn that Oprah Winfrey was going to feature the author, along with Battan and Fuselier, on a show marking the tenth anniversary of the shootings. Contacted by a producer for photos of his son, Rohrbough suggested that Winfrey was making a terrible mistake.
"I said, 'I'd be happy to pay for my own plane ticket and be part of this,'" he recalls. "'If you're going to put these liars on, someone needs to be there to refute them.' She was horrified."

Disappointing Sunday meal. Brunch stops around 4pm and instead of dinner there is a very limited 'Sunset" menu with few options. What's the point? Food was subpar: cold fries, dry chicken, bland and boring salad. Even the diet coke didn't have a slice of lemon. Manager seemed concerned. Kitchen needs to step it up!! Wait staff was slow. Won't go back.

Last Monday my husband met our visiting friends for brunch and I decided to choose Isabella's based on their hotel location. The food was delicious. The menu offered inventive Mediterranean fare with some American fare classics, and while we were waiting for our entrees we were treated to a lovely melon gazpacho compliments of the chef. The service attentive and polite. Our charming waitress asked if I was finished with my meal rather than the horrid: "Are you still workin' on it." The atmosphere was classy, but not pretentious, and the jazz background music was just at the right volume so we could enjoy our conversations. I used to dine at Isabella's frequently, especially for weekend brunch, when I was a student at Juilliard, but hadn't been there for quite a few years since I moved out of the neighborhood. It is lovely to know that this over a quarter of a century old establishment has stood the test of time. I will be back again, especially for the Dark Chocolate "Bag".

I've been going to this restaurant for a number of years and the food has been consistently good and completely reliable. When I ate there last week, I was surprised to find the normally crowded place half empty. We ordered and the both the appetizers and entres were a huge step down in quality and taste. Every dish was heavily seasoned and the entres were so salty they were barely edible. Clearly there are some changes going in the kitchen. At one point the manager was going from table to table asking the patron's opinions (something I've never seen happen at this restaurant) so I think management is appearing to be a bit worried. I've always liked Isabella's but with so many other quality restaurants in the area, I'll need to hear that this kitchen has straightened out before I go back again. I hope they get back to their old higher standards. It's disappointing.
Posted by Lorrie Stuart on 09/29/2012
Isabella's has been around for longer than almost any restaurant I can think of. I hadn't been there in a long while, but my dinner last night suggested that it has not only maintained its quality, but actually improved! Maybe it was just the service: we asked for a quiet table and were actually seated at one! And our waiter was absolutely wonderful: smart, funny, and very attentive to our needs. The food is also excellent, and more inventive than I remembered: my roasted artichoke salad was superb, and superbly dressed. All in all, an extremely pleasant experience.

best eggs Benedict in the city (and anywhere for that matter) and I have tried very many. went for dinner tonight since brunch is always so good and was not disappointed - everything we had was terrific and the flavors were great. everything was cooked to perfection. not sure what everyone is talking about re: the wait staff, everyone was nice and cordial and quite helpful. great place with actually a pretty good value for the type of food - will definitely go back, one of my neighborhood faves!
Posted by Lena on 04/06/2012
If you like being ignored for 30 minutes or more and paying for your full order while only received parts of it, then go to Isabella's. The poorest service in town.
Posted by Mike on 06/29/2011
Our first time for dinner. 7:30 reservations, seated right away, the waiter came by and asked about drinks, dropped off menus, then disappeared for 1/2 hour. We waived him down to order. The salads came quickly, the main courses took 40 minutes after the salads were delivered. The meal took almost 2 hours on a Monday night without a dessert. The food is not special enough for the poor service. Prices are on the high side. There are too many other choices to eat at in the UWS.

The Great Recovery
A friend of mine, William Vanderbloemen, recently had an opportunity to interview Dave Ramsey about a new project of his: The Great Recovery. This is a somewhat long interview (20 minutes) but I guarantee that you will find it worth your time.

Every Life Has a Story
Stories are powerful! There's something about a story that moves us like nothing else can! Last night at Two42 (our College/Young Adult worship service at Community Bible Church) we heard a story of a former military medic. He shared about his experiences at war and his struggles when he returned home. His story had a […] [Read More]
Love Wins Controversy
We love controversy don't we? Just look at the Charlie Sheen situation. It is a sad story that is irrelevant to most of us, but we can't get enough. Charlie Sheen has blown up on Twitter and his interviews are getting millions of hits on YouTube. There's something about controversy that captures our culture. It's […] [Read More]

The Riverside Cottages, Elandskloof Farm
Hello! It's been about five months since my last post, and I had no idea it's been so long.

Giraffe House
On Saturday we met the loveliest lady at Giraffe House. The tall, gentle and exquisitely beautiful Gerry.

Stir-fried Cauliflower 'Rice' & Sticky Sesame Chicken

The Flops of 2013
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll notice that I spend a lot time in the kitchen. Most of my recipes are experimental and I don't always follow recipes the way I should, which leads to a lot of trial and error (read: flops) to get it right. My earliest cooking memory is when I … Continue reading

Sunday, December 15, 2013
I had so many great ideas for this weeks column. I was going to write about the epic Thanksgiving we had on The Farm at my in-laws in Alabama. I was going to tell yall about how Sadie was my bed buddy every night and how I stared at her for an hour after she fell asleep amazed that she is mine.
I was going to tell you about my kids chasing chickens and riding horses and the hilarious squabbles the girls had with their cousins. Sadie cried real tears when her cousin Mary-Ann, who is exactly her same age, told her she had to go take a nap.
I was going to tell you about all the dance moves Emma made up on during the hayride at The Farm, square dancing and buck dancing like she was born and bred with clogs on her feet.
I had so many things to write about. Then I watched the Iron Bowl. And if you dont know this, but my blood is orange and blue. My daddy is an Auburn grad, and some of my earliest memories are of falling asleep in my own bed then waking up at our tailgating spot by the School of Pharmacy wearing my Auburn cheer leading outfit.
I was raised on the east side upper deck of Jordan-Hare stadium. I have rolled Toomers corner and loved everything about Auburn my entire life. So when, Chris Davis returned a missed field goal for a 109 yard touchdown, you just need to know that I lost my mind. And if Im going to be real honest (and you know I am), I havent thought about anything else since then.
I wore the same Auburn T-shirt for four days straight. I thought about washing it then, but I just wasnt ready. Yall, Ive watched the last few minutes of the game no less than 109 times. As a matter of fact, its playing in the background as I write.
I was proud to be an Auburn Tiger when it looked like we were going to lose. I was a little sad, but I was proud of how hard my team had played and that hadnt made it easy for Bama. But then that last second, yall.
One second.
It changed everything, and also wiped all my happy Thanksgiving memories straight from my little head and now all I can think about is that one second. 109 yards. From endzone to endzone.
I might wash my shirt tonight, but only so I can put it back on tomorrow. I gotta go watch another clip. War Eagle.

Trip date: 10/13/2006Reported by: Lisa Giegel
Twenty of us stayed in two rented cabins at Hill's Resort on Priest Lake the weekend of Oct. 13-15. Cabin dwellers included Terry Hergert, Meg Bouchard, Teresa Watson, Paul Z, Brad Blegen, Chris Roberts, Carl and Jan Wheatley, Diana Roberts, Dianne Murray, Connie Connelly, Kathy McGary, Jane Schelly, Randy Spotts, Randy Labeff, Lisa Helmbrecht, Joe and Lisa Giegel, Tom Antles and Stephen Johnson (Friday night), and Maryanne Gaddy and Lloyd Hixon (Saturday night). Mars Gemar and Rick Vance joined us for the Saturday ride.
Fabulous trails, food and friends are the recipe for an unforgettable mountain bike weekend.
The trails: Though a bit cool when we all headed out from the Beaver Creek campground, the trails were dry(!) and in superb condition this year. The weather warmed to a spectacular, sunny day—the best ever for our annual weekend on the lake. Most of the several groups jumped on to the Navigation Trail north of Beaver Creek grinning ear-to-ear as we swooped along some of the best rolling single-track in the area. The largest group of riders decided to pedal around the north end of the lake to the Trapper Creek trail on the east side meeting some Mountaineer hikers along the way. Upon returning to Beaver Creek, some of the group decided to go south on the Lakeshore Trail. Three of the heartiest riders--Rick, Paul and Lloyd--ended the day with 47 miles on the odometer. That's the equivalent of a road ride century or more! The other groups went as far as the Navigation campground before turning around, lunching at the beach and riding all or part of the Lakeshore trail. Many of us wish these trails were closer to Spokane. What fun!
The food: Joe and I always jump start the weekend with a visit to the Chimney Rock Café on Friday evening. Brad and Connie joined us for a tasty dinner at this culinary gem. Other Mountaineer mountain bikers and hikers had the same idea as we filled a few tables in the eatery. We headed back to the cabins for further indulgence featuring chocolate cake and pumpkin cheesecake. After Saturday's adventures and a few homemade trail cookies, we enjoyed the traditional potluck dinner followed by Sunday morning's breakfast of french toast, ham, eggs, fruit and more.
The friends: Another Friday evening tradition for me and Joe is a short hike along the lakeshore before dinner. This year Brad and Connie joined us. As we walked, Diana Roberts sat by the lake and painted a beautiful watercolor of the water and mountains in the waning daylight. After dinner, we enjoyed sitting around the cabins, swapping stories and listening to the very talented Randy Spotts play his guitar. A warm fire and abundant laughter filled the rooms.
The only thing better than single-track is riding single-track with a fun group of people. Top that off with another evening spent talking and laughing, and everyone went to bed pleasantly tired (some a little bruised) and filled with the sense of a day well spent.
Participants went in many directions on Sunday following Saturday night's rain. The adventurous rode Trail 308 to the American Falls, aptly named, as the wet conditions resulted in quite a few scrapes and bruises. Others went back to the Lakeshore trail. Some paddled. The rest headed home savoring memories of the previous day.
Fabulous trails, food and friends. Thanks to all for a grand birthday weekend!

Tom McAvoy – Biography
Tom McAvoy was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1937. At age ten he moved from Long Island, New York to Colorado. His grandfather had died and he had to go take care of his grandmother. It was there where "Mac", as we all know him now, became an All State Basketball Player as a mere sophomore in high school.
Moving back to Schenectady, New York his junior year, he became a highly regarded left handed pitcher. He then stuck with baseball, all the way to the Major Leagues and the Washington Senators baseball club.
If not for two devastating arm injuries, I doubt we would be talking about Tom McAvoy in ISC circles. After all, he did strike out Ted Williams in a spring training game, and was highly touted as a rookie, along with good friend and now 'Hall of Famer' Jim Kaat. The Senators believed in Mac, but it wasn't meant to be, as the arm just never got back to where it was. So, once again, Mac headed back to New York, only this time---he was married. Mac had met Jean (Taylor) in 1958 in Charlotte, North Carolina while playing Single A Ball. They were married in October of 1959, and Jean has now been by Mac's side for 50 years! It's a good thing she likes 'ball', because Mac made many stops after being let go from the Minnesota Twins 40 man roster in 1961. Although it seemed like his days of serious ball were over, Mac found a new game, or I should say it found him, and the rest is ……well you know!
Next Stop for Mac – ISC Hall of Fame!
In 1965, friend John Salvatore asked Mac to play fastpitch softball with him and a bunch of Marine Corps buddies. Unfortunately, Mac had arthritis so bad; he pretty much just helped out and didn't play. Thank God for all of our sakes, that's when his zest for managing came to fruition. From 1965-1972 Mac was coaching in Sportsman's Park, Schenectady, one of the east coast's premier fastpitch leagues. His teams won the league five out of seven years, and in the midst of those winning seasons he got a group of all stars together to form 'Peckham's Travel Squad'. They continued traveling for many years, competing in ASA State, Regional, and National tournaments; winning the ASA State and Regionals 1983, 1984, and 1985. These are only a few of the many state titles for Mac, not all with Peckham's. It was in 1990 that Mac got his first taste of ISC fastpitch, when he was with a team called 'Lieber's'. They played in the World Tournament held in Victoria, British Columbia. Mac was hooked!
In 1992 he broke in to the ISC with a brand new team full of guys that played for OTB in Middletown, New York. This team included some of his old 'Peckham's' players and had a sponsor named Garry Heflin. The team would eventually become 'Heflin Builders' and they finished 9th that year in Salt Lake City. This was the first of many top ten finishes for Mac at the World Tournament. He also had a 4th place finish in 1999 with the 'Heflin Smokers'.
Through the 1990's Mac's Heflin teams were tough, competitive, and invariably winning. Even though the ISC World Tournament title has eluded Mac, his teams have always been in the mix! He's been around even more with stints in St. Louis in 2005, back with Heflin in 2006, and his last team was Circle Tap of Wisconsin in 2007. Mac took time off in 2008 to settle some serious health issues and he'll be back in January 2009 to defend the AAU International Championship. His teams have won three years in a row at the annual AAU Tournament. Besides winning three in a row, Mac's teams also have two runner up finishes, as well as top ten finishes every other time! Mac's passion for fastpitch and the ISC has never wavered. He'll tell anyone, it's okay to play in certain tournaments, but the most prestigious, to this day is the annual ISC World Tournament! Mac's leadership has always been appreciated by the players he coaches, and the many players they competed against. There have been hundreds of ball players who have played for Mac, this one included, and he's not just a manager, he's a mentor, a friend, and to some of us, like a second dad. Mac's wisdom and foresight have taught many of us not just how to handle a riseball, but how to sometimes deal with life, and everyday problems.
While Mac recuperates from these health issues, anxious eyes and ears await that bark from the third base coaching box where Mac is totally at home. Nobody knows how long they are going to be able to do something they love, but we all know Mac will do it until he can't anymore! The next time you see him, make sure of two things –
Tom McAvoy – A Legend, Tom McAvoy, ISC Hall of Famer!

All I know for sure is that the Rum/ lime juice 'daquiri' they make over at the Swizzle Stick is delicious.. I LOVE IT!
We are happy that he didn't let evacuees use it as an escape route!!! so you're right, it is very appropriate. BTW, we don't want to have ANY part of new orleans in Jeff!!!
I don't think he was biased either and I also enjoyed the Jordan interview. The only thing I am happy about is that I can make it to Leno without falling asleep / and I'm tired of hearing about Katrina....

I truly believe that I began my baking career the very same evening that my parents decided that I was old enough to stay home without a babysitter. It was the era of TV dinners, so I was occasionally left with a rock-hard frozen aluminum rectangle for dinner. One night, unsatisfied with the tiny square of dessert offered, I opened my mother's favorite cookbook, and lo and behold, I discovered a recipe for an exotic-sounding chocolate soufflé. All of the ingredients were in the house. Using a Pyrex measuring cup as a soufflé dish, my career was born. Serve the soufflés immediately with a drizzle of crème anglaise or a dollop of whipped cream.–David Lebovitz
LC David Lebovitz, Esquire Note
We find that first foray into baking of David Lebovitz quite commendable. So much so, in fact, that we'd like to confer some title upon him. "Esquire" is the best we can do for the moment. Care to suggest an alternate? Maybe we could append "baking guru" to his name? But then, we think most folks do that anyways, at least in their minds.
Special Equipment: Six 4-ounce ramekins or 6-ounce custard cups
Double Chocolate Soufflé Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 6 soufflés
- Butter, for the baking dish
- 5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup milk, preferably whole
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons whiskey, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large egg yolks
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 1/2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, very coarsely chopped, or 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1. Butter six 4-ounce ramekins or 6-ounce custard cups. Place them on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
- 2. In a large heatproof bowl placed over a pan of simmering water, heat the 5 ounces chopped chocolate and the milk until the chocolate melts. Do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the simmering water. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in 3 tablespoons sugar, the whiskey, and the egg yolks. Let cool to room temperature.
- 3. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until they're foamy and begin to hold their shape as peaks when the beaters are lifted. Gradually beat in the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, whipping until the whites form and hold soft, droopy peaks.
- 4. Using a spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Fill each ramekin or custard cup halfway with the soufflé mixture. Sprinkle with the coarsely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Add enough of the remaining batter to fill each soufflé dish almost to the top.
- 5. Bake for 14 minutes, or until the soufflés appear firm yet are slightly jiggly when nudged. They should be very soft when you remove them from the oven. Serve immediately.

CALIFORNIA–A 22-year old Los Angeles man has pleaded not guilty to vandalism and burglary, but wait until you see the security video of what happened.
Deputies say Equonne Howard crashed his car into a Temecula Apple store and his buddies jumped out and started stealing every computer iPad and iPhone they could grab.
He tried to back out but was trapped by the security gate.
It took several tries to get out, and that ruined his tires. Deputies found the SUV a few blocks away with two flat tires. Howard was arrested when he came back to fix one of the flats.

Architecture is undergoing a crisis. Our buildings no longer satisfy people. It is necessary to start to create differently: in place of design and aesthetics to take inspiration from the deeper laws of nature.

The 10th pick is slotted for $2.7 million and the 11th pick for $2.625 million. Barring a surprise, both players are likely to sign pro deals.
Great haul for Bama with this kid. Good luck to him in his career. Hopefully he stays a few years and isn't a one and done.
No, none of them have actually been gay. The three male Robins before the current one have all gone on to establish identities of their own and been involved in several relationships with women. Like I said in the previous post their choice of costumes deinfitely don't help.
As far as Batman Forever, I just try to block that out of my mind. Terrible film.
Robin has never been gay. Has he always worn a flamboyant and ridiculous costume? Yes. The current Robin is actually Batman's son.
To be fair, comics these days come with RATINGS like movies. They're hardly just for kids anymore.
Bruce Lee played Kato in the Green HORNET.
DC has had gay characters for years.
Correction: Hal Jordan isn't the original Green Lantern, it's Alan Scott.
Because most comics aren't geared towards children anymore. They now have rating systems akin to movies for readers to go by.
Batman is A FICTIONAL CHARACTER?
I don't think it will be anyone like Superman or Batman. The backlash would just be too great. I could see it being a prominent B-list character perhaps.
The flame wars at this site never cease to amaze me. I'm awaiting a time when weather reports end up in Auburn/Bama arguments.
Check out the moves from that old timer. Impressive!
The stat that sticks out for me is his accuracy. 72% is the mark of a pretty accurate QB.
As a fan I get more excited about some of the inter division games that we don't get to see all the time than the same old division match ups every year.
This is a great story. My brother in law attends Spring Hill and it is definitely an outstanding school.
LOL! I agree with both comments.
Hopefully she's a better driver than most of the women in this state.
I kid...I kid.......
Actually it says they were flagged.

This report points out that the contenders for head of the RNC are all making statements and flexing their talking-point-muscles on Blago-gate. This emphasizes a key skill for the post, while the opposition is firmly in power: the ability to make your case in the media. The ability to forcefully, but cheerfully, oppose a popular (for now) President is quite a talent.
Michael Steele and Ken Blackwell have plenty of practice in this area, and regularly appear on TV and talk radio. Oddly, the least expert of the candidates may be the current RNC Chair Mike Duncan. I frankly can't recall seeing him on any cable or network news show. Indeed, his absence from talk radio has been so noticeable that Hugh Hewitt quizzed him on it in a rare interview this Monday.
The challenge for the RNC is to find someone who combines the organizational and media skills to improve both the GOP's operation and its public image. The most successful of the past RNC chiefs (Bill Brock and Ken Mehlman come to mind) were able to do both. Finding someone who does even one of these tasks well, and who meets with the approval of party insiders, may be tough. Finding someone who does both, may be next to impossible.
