The Sky won the second pick in the draft lottery, The Phoenix Mercury drew the No. 1 pick, the Tulsa Shock drew the No. 3 pick, and the Washington Mystics drew No. 4.
Having one of the top picks in the upcoming WNBA Draft gives us an opportunity to immediately improve our team, said Pokey Chatman, head coach and general manager of the Chicago Sky. We have a lot to assess after finishing the season, and we will use every resource we have to make the best possible decision for our franchise when the time comes.
Three of the top prospects in the draft include Elena Delle Donne, a 6-5 forward from Delaware who averaged 28.1 points and 10.3 rebounds per game as a junior and once scored 54 points in a game; Brittney Griner, a 6-8 center from Baylor University, who as the AP Player of the year led the Lady Bears to a perfect 40-0 season and won the NCAA Championship; and Skylar Diggins, a 5-9 point guard from Notre Dame University who led her team to two consecutive NCAA Championship games and averaged 16.8 points and 5.7 assists per game in her junior season.
This marks the third time in the teams history that the Sky have had the No. 2 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. The Sky drew the No. 2 pick in the 2012 WNBA Draft and opted to trade the pick to the Seattle Storm for 2012 Olympian Swin Cash and nine-year veteran forward Lecoe Willingham. The Sky also had the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2008, which the team used to select Sylvia Fowles, Chicagos all-time leader in points, rebounds and field-goal percentage, and the 2011 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year.
WNBA officials and a representative from the accounting firm of Ernst & Young conducted the Draft Lottery to establish the order of selection for the first four picks of the 2012 WNBA Draft. The order of selection for the remainder of the first round as well as the second and third round is determined by inverse order of the teams respective regular-season records.
Washington, which posted a record of 5-29 this season, had the best opportunity (44.2 percent) to win the top pick in the Draft. The Phoenix Mercury, which finished this season 7-27, had the next best odds of winning the Draft Lottery (27.6 percent). The Tulsa Shock, which posted a 9-25 record, had a 17.8 percent chance, and the Chicago Sky (14-20) had a 10.4 percent chance.

'Shoddy' concrete job in Indian River to be fixed following resident, newspaper inquiries
Indian River County — Concrete rubble piled around a culvert in a neighborhood canal is creating what one man calls a county-funded eyesore.
Richard Granata, 79, complains the jumbled concrete chunks look as though a work crew carelessly dumped them on both openings of a culvert under 15th Avenue where it crosses a canal off Eighth Street.
"It's just a pig pen, a garbage dump — 100 percent shoddy," said Granata, who worked in concrete construction for 50 years.
This is one of several aging culverts county officials are replacing in south Indian River County. The county is paying for the project and Indian River Farms Water Control District is helping to oversee work on drainage canals.
After the Press Journal brought it to the attention of David Gunter, the water district superintendent, he examined the canal and agreed the rubble is unsightly.
It also doesn't meet state guidelines for protecting the banks, Gunter said. The blocks have too many gaps that could let in floodwater and turn the dirt underneath to mud, causing the rubble to slide, he said.
He has since told the contractor to go back and break the concrete blocks into smaller chunks and pack them together tightly. He also asked a county inspector to make sure the contractor follows through.
"The homeowners have a legitimate gripe," Gunter said. "The material will look better when it's broken into smaller pieces."
Granata said he'd prefer the county build a smooth concrete wall to fortify the culvert, the way it did on a culvert two blocks away on 13th Avenue. The wall looks cleaner, sturdier and safer, he said.
Weeds will grow through the concrete rubble and look unkempt, and children could get hurt playing on the pile, he said.
"They (county officials) were just trying to save money," Granata said.
The county, in fact, shaved costs.
The original plan was to build an $80,000 wall around the 15th Avenue culvert. Using concrete rubble cost $67,000, about $13,000 less than the wall.
Unfavorable soil conditions thwarted efforts to construct the wall, so water district leaders suggested piecing together the rubble, said Chris Kafer, county engineer.
A layer of sand wedged between two hard clay layers lets groundwater stream through, flooding the soil where crews needed to pour concrete to form the wall's foundation, Gunter said. Concrete must be poured on dry dirt for it to set properly, he added.
"It was running like a garden hose," Gunter said of the groundwater, which he thinks was intensified by the rainy season and neighbors irrigating their yards.
Crews encountered these saturated soil conditions at both the 13th and 15th Avenue sections, Gunter said.
Whenever workers tried to pump out the excess groundwater through 2-inch-round well pipes, more runoff would flow in, he said.
After "fighting and fighting" to install the concrete wall at 13th Avenue, district officials decided to avoid a similar battle at the 15th Avenue culvert and instead use rubble, Gunter said.
But Granata doesn't accept that rubble was the only choice.
He criticized the water district for what he considers lack of effort.
That culvert is in the same canal and the same general area as the other culverts, which were installed inside concrete walls, Granata said, questioning why this one was unattainable.
"It's just a bunch of excuses," Granata said. "It's an easy way out. I think it's very ugly to look at."
At the least, the concrete chunks could be stacked neatly to form an attractive revetment rather than tossed into a mishmash, Granata said.
Gunter said if the project was done during the dry season, when there's less runoff in the soil, the crews might have been able to build a wall.
District and county officials couldn't put off replacing the subpar culvert until the dry season because they didn't want to risk the conduit failing during a storm, Gunter said.
Because the canal must be blocked off during installation, they were pressed to finish the job before the onset of heavy storms, he said, such as Tropical Storm Isaac kicking up heavy rain in the region this week.
"It's a real touchy situation and it needed to be handled as expediently as possible," Gunter said.
Gunter said he sympathizes with homeowners like Granata about aesthetics. He insists that breaking the concrete into smaller chunks will look better, and over time vegetation will cover the rubble and make it less noticeable.
Shoring up a culvert with rubble is a standard engineering practice and examples of it can be seen in canals throughout the county, such as a culvert near the Olive Garden restaurant off S.R. 60. Gunter said.
"The idea is not for aesthetics," he said. "The idea is for function."

Cheering "Metamorphoses"
In London, theatergoers who have become weary with the leftish works of Harold Pinter, Cheryl Churchill, David Hare, and their like can often turn to Tom Stoppard for relief. That option is usually unavailable in New York, where the cultural perspective is, if anything, even more depressingly narrow. But this past season has offered an exception.
Metamorphoses, written and directed by Mary Zimmerman, and still playing at the Circle in the Square, an off-Broadway theater in the Times Square area, has given New Yorkers an alternative. Not only does this work vary the American theater's customary viewpoint, but it puts its audience in touch with some of the deepest resources of Western civilization. Little else in the neighborhood even tries.
"I ask the help of the gods," the first "narrator" of Metamorphoses begins. "Let me speak, better than I know how." For the next 94 minutes, ten stories adapted by Zimmerman from the Metamorphoses of the Roman poet Ovid (43 B.C.E.-17 C.E.) are presented for our contemplation and delight—tales of men and women, gods and goddesses, birds, animals, flowers, trees and, not incidentally, the cosmos. Some of the stories, like Orpheus' failed attempt to rescue his beloved Eurydice from Hades, or Phaeton's smash-up in his father Apollo's sun-chariot, are fairly familiar even today. Others, such as the tale of Erysichthon, who is cursed by Ceres with a hunger so intense he ends up consuming his own body, are less so. Familiar or not, they are, deservedly, a smash hit in New York as they were in earlier productions in Chicago, Seattle, Berkeley, and Los Angeles.
Zimmerman, forty-one, and the winner of a 2002 Tony award for her direction of Metamorphoses, has a reputation as one of the country's most promising playwrights and directors, with devoted audiences in the cities where her works are regularly seen. These include such adaptations as The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, Arabian Nights, The Odyssey, and Journey to the West, taken from a 16th-century Chinese-Buddhist epic. Her productions make use of the story-theater techniques developed at Northwestern University by Robert Breen and Frank Galati, the latter of whom was Zimmerman's teacher, as well as other, familiar devices of modernist theater. What distinguishes their use in Metamorphoses is Zimmerman's sure-footedness, and the ends to which she puts those techniques—ends that are different both from those of the commercial theater and from most of what passes for "serious" drama.
Almost the entire playing area of Metamorphoses consists of a shallow 27-foot pool filled with water and surrounded by a narrow walkway. The actors float, splash, drown, stomp, and wade in the water, which thus serves as both set and prop. As startling as the pool appears when one first enters the theater, it is not a gimmick, and by the end of the performance it seems entirely appropriate. Of course, the psychological and literary significance of water is well known; but for Zimmerman, the water (like the lighting) is also an expressive element that deepens the meaning of the stories themselves. In one, for instance, a ship we see in miniature embarking on calm seas later flounders in a tempest after it has "reached the point of no return, with as much blue water astern as remained ahead."
The stories themselves are told by an ensemble of ten actors, each of whom slips in and out of multiple roles, sometimes performing as a character, sometimes describing in the third person what his character is doing, sometimes standing outside the action and serving as a narrator. The costumes are mostly based on our notions of what ancient Greek and other archaic peoples wore, although—since the stories are timeless—some are more contemporary. Thus, Phaeton wears bright yellow swim-trunks as he floats on a bright yellow inflated air mattress and adjusts his Ray-Bans while explaining to his analyst the difficulties he has had with the sun as his father; his psychobabble-spouting female shrink wears a stylish black pant suit.
Much of what is wonderful about Metamorphoses lies in what it is not. The very first metamorphosis, told as a prologue, concerns the creation of the world from chaos, when "nature was all the same." It takes a god—Zeus—to create the order out of which the sun and moon, land and sea, are put in their proper places; but in this "paradise," as the god himself declares, "one thing was lacking: words." And so "man was born, he was born that he might talk." But what kind of talk? Zimmerman's script honors the responsibility of words to complete the world, and her cast respects those words by speaking them clearly and with precise intentions. Unlike in much new theater, there is no smut, no one is mush-mouthed, and dialogue is not wallpaper.
Nor is Metamorphoses "transgressive," although that is not for lack of material. In one story, the virgin Myrrha is punished for having ignored Aphrodite by being seized with a passion for her own father, Cinyras. She debates with herself what to do: "O gods, I pray you, keep me decent," but then, alternately, "Devotion cannot condemn such love as crime." Finally, enlisting the aid of her old nursemaid, she goes to Cinyras' bedroom at night while her mother is away and he has been blindfolded. But after several nights of terrific sex, he insists on seeing her. His instinct, as soon as he takes off the blindfold, is to kill his daughter. She flees, crying: "Gods, I pray you, change me; make me something else, transform me entirely; let me step out of my own heart." Several possible endings of the story are given, but the one we are left with is that Myrrha dissolves into tears: she steps into a shimmering stream and "her body melted." In Zimmerman's staging, the actress slowly disappears beneath the surface of the pool.
A tale, then, of transgression, but not in the least transgressive. The characters, the narrator, Zimmerman, the audience—all know that what Myrrha and Cinyras did cannot be allowed and must be punished. That Aphrodite is cruel in afflicting Myrrha says something about the nature of passionate love—which the Greeks considered a disease that robbed one of reason and self-control—but in no way exculpates its unfortunate bearer. That is tough, but if Myrrha were to be excused because she is a "victim," she would lose her dignity and her right to our respect. She chose, and she chose wrong. As we are reminded again and again in Metamorphoses, the reason the ancient myths and the classic fairytales are part of our culture is that they look at life unblinkered.
To appreciate the pitfalls Zimmerman has triumphantly avoided in this play, it might help to digress for a moment and consider another recent play that happens to be based on an ancient text: Charles Mee's True Love. Mee, a historian who knows the Greek plays well, has said that he likes to take a classic text, "smash it to ruins, and then atop its ruined structure . . . write a new play." He is a considerable figure in magazines devoted to new drama, and True Love's New York production got much favorable press from critics who favor edgy, avant-garde, postmodern, transgressive art, although it lasted only a little while after its opening. (And it was a small theater.)
True Love is based on Hippolytus, Euripedes' version of the myth in which, like Myrrha, the youth Hippolytus disregards Aphrodite. He is punished by having his stepmother Phaedra fall in love with him. To Theseus, his father, Phaedra then asserts that the boy was trying to seduce her, and when Theseus prays to Poseidon to punish him, Hippolytus is destroyed.
"Relations," Mee has written, "are twisted. Any form of love is true because it's the only kind of love they—the characters—are capable of." One would like to know exactly what Mee means by "true," but on the evidence of True Love he probably means something like "okay."
Hippolytus is given a contemporary setting in a grungy auto-repair garage with an old-model Dodge on stage. Characters come and go—Hippolytus is on a skateboard—and there is a live rock band on stage, a device first seen 40-odd years ago in the Living Theater production of Jack Gelber's The Connection. Since the plot has been pretty well smashed to incomprehensibility, what the characters mainly do is sit around the garage and talk. Much of this talk is funny, but nearly all of it is about what they variously call "sex" or "love." Their case histories are grotesque and thus, in the end, sentimental. (One of the characters shows us how he gets off by attaching jumper cables from the battery of the Dodge to his genitals.)
Mee tries very hard to get us to like these people and to approve of their romantic expedients. Resorting to audience participation, a convention of modern theater, he gives us one character whose form of sexual expression is to have someone smash a pie in his face and then another pie in his groin. At one point this character comes off the stage, picks a member of the audience to go back with him, and after some ad-libbed business gets himself pied. The ensuing laughter and applause ratify the audience's complicity in the character's kinky sex: we are all transgressive now.
A neat trick, but a cheap one. What if the member of the audience had been asked to do something more clearly sexual—to share a French kiss, or to have his or her genitals touched? There is something disingenuous about trying to get approbation for the perverse in this way. Like so much else in the arts today, Mee's work is "interesting" without being in the least convincing.
Mary Zimmerman would also seem to be at odds with Tony Kushner, the author of Angels in America, who believes that "What's wrong with the way we do theater in general [is] . . . not enough politics." (That may be why Kushner's plays are so tedious.) In Metamorphoses, there is no politicking, no hectoring; there are no causes. The very first story we are told is that of King Midas. In the hands of any neo-Brechtian, he would certainly be used to illustrate the evils of contemporary capitalism. Instead, when he arrives on Zimmerman's stage dressed as a 19th-century plutocrat and lets us know that "money is a good thing," we learn that wealth is an indispensable part of his story, but it is his story as an individual that compels our attention.
The segment ends when Midas's young daughter unknowingly jumps on him to give him a hug and turns to gold. As her rigid body falls to earth, Midas, who had chided her for annoying him with her games, is no longer a king—"net worth: 100 billion"—but a father, crushed. The tone, playful until the moment the girl leaps, turns instantly tragic, and the audience shudders. Midas's fate is not a political reckoning; he had been forewarned when he asked the god Bacchus to grant him his wish ("That's a really, really bad idea," says Bacchus), and he suffers for it. But the innocent daughter suffers, too. Once again, although the story is literally fabulous, we feel unmistakably that this is how life is.
The absence of ideological politics means that Zimmerman is also not intimidated by the demands of contemporary feminism. In one of the ten stories, Vertumnus disguises himself as an old woman so he can continue his wooing of Pomona by assuring her that "A lover is what you need to make yourself complete as a woman." Although the narrator informs us that "None of this was working," neither does the remark make the self-possessed Pomona indignant She knows who is in the wig and dress, and accepts it for the male "line" that it is; the wooing continues to its successful conclusion.
In still another story, Psyche disobeys Eros's instructions not to look at him, and drops some hot wax from her candle on him as he sleeps. He punishes her.
Q: What's going to happen to her now?
A: She's going to suffer.
Q: And?
A: She's going to suffer.
Q: And?
A: She's going to suffer.
Psyche does suffer, but in the end she is rewarded for her endurance by being made immortal. Her marriage to Eros, we are assured, "will last forever."
Because she is willing to put herself at the service of her material, Zimmerman gets her stories right. Her work is spare and simple, frequently playful, but at the end of each tale, when a transformation takes place, it is not just the brilliant stagecraft or the actors' technique that makes the audience respond. What elicits consent, what makes the work "click," is the felt rightness of the outcome, which is another way of saying that the weight of the culture is behind it.
When Metamorphoses opened in New York shortly after the World Trade Center attack, audiences responded with open emotion to the way it confronted the ineluctable. One of the things Mohammed Atta and his crew demolished on September 11 was a lot of relativist cant, and it may be that, in the aftermath, New Yorkers were better able to hear this work that came to them from the core of a culture they now knew they needed. They took it as balm. Even today, nothing one sees happening on Zimmerman's stage is any more unbelievable than that the World Trade Center should have been metamorphosed from twin towers of steel and glass to two insubstantial beams of light.
In the last of the tales, the elderly couple Baucis and Philemon are granted a wish because of their hospitality to the gods. They wish that, since they have loved each other their entire lives, they will die at the same moment. When the moment comes, they embrace, sprout leaves and bark, and are turned into trees. As this is happening in the middle of the pool, the rest of the cast surrounds them and whispers.
All: Let me die the moment
my love dies.
Narrator: They whisper:
All: Let me not outlive my
own capacity to love.
Narrator: They whisper:
All: Let me die still loving,
and so, never die.
Reciting these lines, the cast launches glass vessels with lit candles in them that float on the water. The lights come down.
It is a beautiful moment, this transformation out of the human condition; but it is also not quite the last. At the end of the Midas episode that has begun the performance, after his daughter has been turned to gold, Midas pleads to have his wish removed. Bacchus says he cannot do that, but that Midas should "walk as far as the ends of the earth and search there for a pool of water that holds the stars at night. Wash . . . in it, and there is a chance that everything will be restored." Now, as the lights dim on the Baucis and Philemon episode and the candles float in the darkening pool, a distracted Midas wanders on, still carrying his daughter's golden jumprope.
Midas kneels at the end of the pool, drops the rope in the water, and dips his hands to wash his face. At that moment his daughter appears, restored. For Zimmerman, for Ovid, for the ancient crones who first told this story around a fire, the final transformation is not out of the human condition but when we are made human.

Rec Players open new show Friday
The two characters in this weekend's production by the Henderson Rec Players take drastically different approaches in advancing the plot.
"It's probably the most creatively constructed show I've ever seen," said Mark Hopper, Henderson Rec Player member.
Written by Jason Robert Brown, "The Last Five Years" tells the story of the five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein (played by Brian Westbrook) and Peyton Hancock Grissom (Cassie Hiatt). The young author (who secures a book contract at age 24) and the struggling Broadway actress will reflect on each of the five years they spend juggling their relationship with their careers.
"But it's told on a contrary timeline," said Hopper. "He starts at the beginning of the relationship and goes forward and she starts at the end of the relationship and works her way back to the beginning. The only time they'll interact on stage is in the middle of the show in their wedding."
Running at around 90 minutes, the production will include a seven-piece orchestra (rhythm section and strings), playing a variety of styles of music.
The play will be staged at The Episcopal Church of the Holy Innocents, 210 S. Chestnut St. in Henderson, from Friday through Sunday, in the great hall. It will be presented as a Valentine's dinner theater Friday and Saturday. Tickets, at $35 each, must be purchased in advance by calling Hopper at (252) 432-6007. Dinner will begin at 7 p.m. each night, with the show to follow. A matinee will be shown Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door for $12 each.
Proceeds from this production will go toward future shows by the Henderson Rec Players

2012 Rugby Championship thread

Re: 2012 Rugby Championship thread
The Wallabies continued their fine recent history of playing poorly in Italy sneaking home with a 22 - 19 win. They scored ZERO points in the 2nd half...Z-E-R-O.
Only one try a piece. Cummins bagged the Wallabies and Italy got theirs off poor handling by Timani in the 22. In fact Timani had a poor game. His decision making out wide was poor either throwing a one handed pass to no one or getting isolated.
Main issue was the scrum was poor. The track was soft, but they still got handed a lesson.
Another injury as well with Sheenan having to go off after 30 with a leg injury. The Wallabies looked a bit lost and all over the place in attack for most of the game.
A win is a win I guess.
Next it is Wales who will be on a 6 match losing streak (3 of those to the Wallabies in June/July). In recent years Wales and the Wallabies have played quite close games, the mid-year games were won by Aust by 8, 2, and then 1. Hopefully it will be a good game and that both sides won't be trying to out bumble the other to defeat.

Hang tight!
Recipe by AMIEEWILSON
"This is another recipe that my boyfriend and I made up. We decided that the normal combo pizza was getting boring so we spiced it up - A LOT. This recipe may not be for the weak at heart. It has some great ingredients such as German salami, portobello mushrooms, and jerk sauce."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

green bell pepper
4 teaspoons
olive oil, divided
skinless, boneless chicken breast half - finely chopped
1 tablespoon
jerk sauce, or to taste
3 cloves
garlic, diced
portobello mushroom, finely chopped
1 (10 ounce) package
pre-baked thin pizza crust
1/2 cup
pizza sauce
1 (4 ounce) package
thinly sliced salami
1 1/2 cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
This is my recipe, but I noticed the All Recipes people changed it a bit. To let you all know who want to try it I used German salami which is spicy. I also did not put the salami on top of the chicken I put it on top of the sauce. If you want a really spicy pizza sometimes I will put a hint of the jerk sauce in the pizza sauce as well.
This was good!!!. I made my own dough, used the exquisite pizza sauce fr this site. I omitted mushrooms and salami but added pinapples, bacon and cheddard cheese on top of the mozorella. It came out tasteful.

This was so good. I couldn't find jerk sauce so used jerk seasoning instead. I also replaced the salami with bacon. This is a nice change to your typical pizza recipe.
This was great! And easy to make, too. The only change I made was using already cooked chicken breast.
This was pretty good! I didn't have much time in the kitchen so I didn't roast and peel the green pepper, and I also used canned chicken breast meat. While the pizza was very tasty, it wasn't as jerk-y as I expected. If I made this again, I would probably use dry Jerk seasoning rather than sauce. Anyway, this was nice for a change. Thanks, Aimee!
Used this as a base recipe! Very good, thanks.
This is a very good recipe and a great change from the norm. I don't think that the step with broiling the bell peppers is really needed and adds more work to a recipe that already requires significant prep. Great variety of flavors though!
I add cumin, cilantro, lime juice and coriander to the sauce and add mango and red onion to the toppings.

Great fairway wood. Sits perfect behind the ball and delivers a deep, solid feel on shots. I get a medium ball height and straight flight. Sole interacts well with the ground. Used it to hit it close on two different par 5s this year that led to eagles on both holes. Highly recommend
Face depth is great for shots off the tee. It delivers from the deck too!

Get your flu vaccine as soon as possible while it's still readily available. Otherwise, there could be a delay. That delay last year cost me dearly. Not only did I catch Flu B, but landed in Urgent care twice, and prescriptions were expensive. The copay for Tamiflu alone was over $100. And you will pay it because you think you're dying!

I love this thing. It has replaced my Swiffer Wetjet. I can use my own cleaner, and actually get my floors clean, and not just rub dirt around on my floors with a wet floor pad. I have saved tons of money with this by not having to buy replacement anythings, and because I mop a lot because I have dogs, this is a life saver. Yes, my dogs drag the outside in. lol

(Memphis) A Memphis man is accused of setting nine cars on fire.
Police say Terrance Stokes did it because he couldn't afford to pay to get his cars back from a body shop.
They say Stokes went to the shop on Millbranch and set his two cars and seven others on fire.
The shop owner believes if Stokes wasn't able to get his cars back, he didn't want anybody else to have them.
He believes Stokes burned the other cars just so he didn't look responsible for the crime.
"I want him to be locked up because he destroyed a lot of people's property," said Royce Dates, owner of Xclusive Custom Body Shop.
Dates says Stokes not only set his own two cars on fire, but also seven others, including an ambulance.
"It was a nightmare because we had to deal with all the different insurance agencies."
It happened in June, but police just arrested Stokes Wednesday for the crime.
They say a friend ratted him out, saying Stokes and his wife plotted the crime.
The police report says Stokes doused the nine cars in gas, lit them up and then came back home, throwing all possible evidence, even his clothes and shoes, in a BBQ pit.
Dates says stokes alleged arson adventure cost him and insurance companies a lot of money.
"I think the whole total was over $60,000."
Dates believes Stokes burned the cars because the body shop was going to file for liens on his cars.
That's because Stokes hadn't been able to pay a $1,500 bill and the cars had been left on the lot for more than 30 days.
It meant Dates could ask the State to let him keep the cars, allowing him sell them at auction.
"One of the things he told us was that we weren't going to get his cars," said Dates. "At the time we were like 'yeah, we are' but he had something else planned."
Police say Stoke's "plan" is likely going to send him to prison.
Stokes wife hasn't been arrested.
Dates hopes Stokes is ordered to pay restitution to him, the other car owners and the insurance companies who had to pay for most of the damage.

The Coach House and sister club the Galaxy in Santa Ana play host to a number of these bands, as well as those in a related universe: earnest, singer/songwriter surfer-bum acts such as Marc B. There is also swaggering, sorority-girl-approved beach blues stuff such as Pawn Shop Kings. All of this material is pitch-perfect for sound-tracking chillaxed parties, which means it'll never really go out of style.

The mother of the Beverly woman sent to the slammer for six months for hosting a boozy bender for her teen daughter and her pals called the sentence "very harsh" and said her jailed kin is sorry.
"The sentence was very harsh considering my daughter had no record," Linda Clark told the Herald yesterday. "She's done everything that she's supposed to do up until this time to try to do the right thing. She's very sorry for what has happened."
When the cops showed up after getting complaints of a loud party and underage drinking, Tiffany Clark was swaying and slurring her words, the police report said. She was taken to the hospital after her "intoxication appeared to get worse" and she fell over, police said.
A.B. Dear Mom,
Remember that time when I was sixteen and you helped us make jello shots for that thing? And my best friend got alcohol poisoning and the police took me to the hospital? You don't? Huh. Well we must have both blacked out then, because clearly it's something that everyone does with their kids. Except the judge, who doesn't have a clue anyway.
Hope we had a great time!
Happy Mother's Day.

Diana says...
'The warming aroma of star anise wafting through the house is an antidote to the more traditional Christmas scents. Stir-fried bok choi or Savoy cabbage and plain boiled rice are great on the side. This freezes well. Defrost completely before heating on the stove top and add the lime juice and herbs just before serving.'
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy-bottomed casserole, season the shanks, then brown them 2 at a time on all sides, adding the remaining oil for the second batch. Remove the lamb and add the onions. Fry them quite briskly, about 30 secs, add the ginger, garlic and chopped chilli, then turn the heat down and cook for 1 min. Add 1 tbsp sugar, stir, then add the star anise, lemongrass, stock, purée and seasoning. Bring to the boil.
- Cover and cook in the oven for 1½ hrs, then add the sweet potatoes and cook for 1 hr more. The lamb should be completely tender and almost falling off the bones. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice and 1 tsp sugar to just lift the flavour, then scatter with the mint, basil and the sliced chilli to serve.

Comments, questions and tips
Had this for tea last night after cooking in slow cooker the night befor. Halved ingredients as just cooking only one shank. Had to alter recipe slightly as tesco didn't have fresh lemongrass, star anise and fish sauce. used lemongrass from a jar, 1tsp chinese 5 spice and soy sauce. Served with mashed potato, carrots and fine green beans. Delish, sauce thickened up on hob lovely. Was very spicy maybe used too much 5 spice. Will make again when I find correct ingredients. Sure will make many times.
Smelt absolutely beautiful in the oven, but the end result was a bit of a disappointment. The lamb needed longer in the oven and I would advise using a better cut of lamb as the quality of the shank meat wasn't great... There was too much stock so the juice was all runny and didn't stick to the lamb as I would have liked. The star anise have a beautiful aroma though and I will use them in my cooking more. This recipe kept me entertained for a short while and made a nice change but I won't be making it again.
This is a beautiful dish. Made it in my slow cooker over about 8 hours and served it to friends for a casual dinner with rice. Very easy to do in advance and the flavours were so good, even better the next day. I've got one stashed away in the freezer for a rainy day as well. I'll do this one again and again!
This looks and sounds delicious! I'm thinking of doing it in my new slow cooker, but am a bit new to slow cooking. Can anyone give me an idea of how long to cook it for using the slow cooker, and also, would I need to add the stated 1.2L of stock....because my slow cooker seems to make things quite liquidy. Thanks for any help- dying to try this out! :o)
Got this in the oven for the second time - friends coming over to eat this evening. If it turns out half as delicious as last time I will be delighted, not quite sure where my root ginger has gone? Must have fallen out of the supermarket trolley! Hey-ho. Going to use coriander this time, it just seems more apprpriate.

In terms of lifestyle, dictators and rock stars occupy the same stratum. Consider only a fraction of what they share: palace residences, obsessively broadcast concern for the poor, appearances before strange crowds who chant their names, flattery from identical media sycophants, protection from hired flunkies who allow their eccentricities full expression, an ever-ready foul word for Israel, and another for the United States. Experientially, rock stardom is dictatorship without death squads and the pretense of governance.
Perhaps that's why newly released pictures of British rock star Sting laughing it up with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in 2008 seem to capture a moment of natural affinity. Who but a rock star understands the demands of the dictatorial daily grind? Viewing photos in the Daily Mail of the two happy men with glamorous wives in tow, it's easy to imagine they're trading stories of bumbling private-jet stewards or the headaches of polo-court installation or condemning rapacious capitalists (present company celebrated, of course) or whatever else the dictator-rock star class gets up to when not dictating or rock starring.
Sting's second career is self-righteous pontification. He has irritated on the matters of trees, earthquakes, and the poor. He has served since 1981 as "ambassador" for Israel-bashing Amnesty International. He is the unparalleled rock-star activist self-parody. Which, of course, is why his flirtations with human-rights abusers are so delectable. Yes, flirtations—plural. Sting is one of those human-rights promoting singers who take big money to sing for human-rights abusers (while opposing the evil regime of George W. Bush, naturally.)
In 2010, he played a concert in Uzbekistan organized by the regime of Islam Karimov. Accused of boiling his opposition alive, Karimov nevertheless pays well. One night's work earned Sting £2million.
An ungenerous reading of Sting's public comments might lead one to believe he's sympathetic to the likes of Karimov and Assad. In 2010, he told CNN's Don Lemon during some cause-oriented interview, "We're asking for big government, basically." Lemon clarified: "You want big government?" Sting's response: "Of course we do. This is a huge problem, and only the government can solve it. You know, the man on the street can do a little bit, but big governments need to make decisions."
What, exactly, was the "huge problem"? Here's a better question: What's the difference? There's no shortage of huge problems that activists beg big government to handle, from energy policy to healthcare to wealth distribution. Sting was stuck on forests at the moment, but the details of the 11th hour crisis du jour don't matter. The point is, if big government is your thing, no one goes bigger than dictators. In Syria—even way back when in 2008—every breath you take, every move you make, Assad is watching you. And in time, killing you. Sting doesn't have to convince him the man on the street can only do "a little bit."
Which is where the man on the street parts ways with Sting. The latter, as an international superstar with hundreds of millions of dollars in disposable income, dinners with world leaders, and millions of impressionable fans, can do plenty. Every time I write about some pop star-bad regime alliance, I get comments and emails begging me not to waste Contentions real estate on clueless performers. Know-nothing narcissists, I'm told, are irrelevant to the real problems we face. Maybe. But who owns the culture: cerebral neoconservative scholars or people who look, sound, and act like Sting? Viral videos of pop stars and actors pledging allegiance to Barack Obama were hardly irrelevant to the unprecedented youth vote that delivered our 44th president to the White House.
Culture matters, even when it's superficial and base. That's why more people need to understand that celebrity activism is an outgrowth of lifestyle. You buy a yacht, schmooze a dictator, do an Occupy photo-op, and sign on to save the rainforest. It all comes from the same silly place. Sting is only hypocritical when you look at him through the lens of convictions and values. But why would you ever do that? As a longstanding member of the superstar set, his behavior is perfectly consistent.
