By Process of Elimination, the Islanders Should Open at Home Against the Devils (UPDATE: Confirmed)
Kevin Schultz
Update, 5:45pm: Devils beat writer Tom Gulutti confirms the Islanders will host the Devils on 1/19 at the Coliseum.
This morning, I posted a list of the opening night (or day) games that the NHL has tentatively scheduled for next Saturday, January 19th, as reported by reputable hockey media. The schedule is very fluid at the moment and subject to change — the Minnesota Wild, for example, successfully lobbied to get their opening game adjusted — but if you put all the reporting from various sources together, it seems as though the Islanders opening at home against the Devils on Saturday, January 19th is the most logical conclusion. Here's how I came to that conclusion:
Rangers @ Bruins (reported by Boston Globe)
Maple Leafs @ Canadiens (Ren Lavoie)
Senators @ Jets (Winnipeg Free Press)
Penguins @ Flyers (NBC Philadelphia)
Buffalo is off (former Sabre Andrew Peters)
That's where we left off this morning, which left the following teams: NYI, NJD, CAR, WSH, TBL, FLA. Today, we learned more from some well-connected reporters.
Erik Erlendsson from Tampa Bay Online tweeted that the Capitals would open on the road against the Lightning, leaving us with four teams (NYI, NJD, CAR, FLA). Of those four, only two could play home games, as New Jersey and Carolina's arenas are booked on January 19th. If all of the above is true, that guarantees the Islanders will have a home game on the 19th, assuming the NHL is intent on playing as many teams as possible that day. Chip Alexander, on the Canes beat for the News Observer in North Carolina, tweeted that it is "looking more and more likely" that the Canes would open in Florida on the 19th.
So that leaves us with the Islanders and Devils. As most reporters are saying, and the Wild proved, the schedule is still flexible at this point. But with the Prudential Center booked on the 19th and news out there from good reporters about the rest of the Eastern Conference, it sure looks like we'll have Islanders/Devils at the Coliseum on January 19th.
For what it's worth, the Islanders told me they have not heard from the NHL regarding their opening game and opponent.

Making a Business Case
Have you ever tried convincing your manager to make a change?
Change typically involves more resources, either time, money or both. Sometimes it involves a different way of doing something you're already doing; sometimes it's something new to your company. Either way, how does one go about selling your boss on your idea?
We've all been in these shoes. I find that I have to first convince myself before I approach my very analytical boss. What this means is weighing the costs, advantages and creating a plan as to how one would proceed with a proposed opportunity. Before you create PowerPoints and go the distance, you might just start with a simple one-page document; if you have a really good case to make, it doesn't necessarily have to take a lot of glam to sell it.
There's a whole technique to this business case mode, especially if you are a buyer of staffing services. And this is top of mind right now for me as I prepare for a session for the upcoming CWS Summit in next month in Chicago. The session, titled Building the Business Case: Defining ROI to Get the Ball Rolling, addresses how building a business case is the first step when making changes in the contingent workforce program world. The panelists are going to discuss how their successful business cases kicked off their processes and what defines return on investment, which is key to any business case.
Coincidentally, the same principles apply whether you would attend the Summit as a buyer — or one of our staffing conferences for suppliers — because investments of any kind need to be justified. My session at the Summit should give attendees enough of an arsenal to help them set the stage for their CW initiatives. Yes, conferences take time and involve the expense of travel, but I personally have always come back from our conferences with at least a couple of best practices that have enhanced my own productivity and that of my team.
No pressure, but hopefully I have given you a glimpse into how I build my business case.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun are teaming together to launch a new restaurant in Brookfield.
Oak Creek-based -based Surg Restaurant Group announced today that Wisconsin's two athletic Most Valuable Players will open a new restaurant called 8*twelve.
The restaurant, located at 17800 W. Bluemound Road in Brookfield, will offer family cuisine, as well as steaks and seafood with much of executive chef Aaron Patin's preparation taking place on a wood fire grill, a center point of the kitchen.
Fans of both players will see memorabilia in the bar area, which will feature several big-screen televisions. The grand opening for the new restaurant is slated for June.
"Wisconsin has the greatest fans in the country," Rodgers said in a press release issued by the SURG group. "This is an excellent opportunity for me to work with Ryan on a project that will create something for fans of the Packers, Brewers and sports in general, to take part in and enjoy."
The new restaurant is located in a spot that formerly housed Charro. Braun's name also is on Ryan Braun's Graffito, a Surg restaurant in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward.
"Aaron and I are not only great friends, but we both have whole-heartedly made long-term commitments to the sports fans of Wisconsin," said Braun. "We wanted to give them a home base to celebrate their favorite teams and enjoy some great food and service."
Omar Shaikh, co-owner of Surg, said the players both had input on the concept of 8*twelve and will make scheduled and unscheduled appearances throughout the year.
"Ryan's involvement with Graffito has been such a positive experience for both sides, so when another opportunity presented itself in Brookfield, we all agreed to move forward," Shaikh said. "Aaron had expressed interest in the business after visiting Graffito a few times and with his friendship with Ryan, 8*twelve just fell into place. This will be great for the Brookfield area."
Mike Polaski, chief executive officer and co-owner of Surg, said plans for additional locations of 8*twelve are being considered.

It's gingerbread house season and we've got tips from a master gingerbread house builder, Marian Poirer, founder of the tutorial-style baking blog, Sweetopia. She is also a guest speaker at this weekend's Mixed Conference with Duff Goldman!
Marian takes gingerbread houses to new levels with her clever use of candy, foolproof recipes, and templates.
Her sweet pink gingerbread house (above) features pink rock candy sticks as the evergreen trees, pink Sixlets as the siding, and Necco Wafers and Shimmer Pink Bubble Gumballs as the rooftop. Simple ideas that you can easily build on at home.
Marian's red and white gingerbread house (below) turns swirl pops into trees, and gumballs and Sixlets into Seuss-like shrubs.
We had a chance to talk with Marian about her gingerbread houses and gather a few tips. Here's the abridged version …
Candy.com: Your gingerbread houses are works of art. What got you interested in making them?
Marian: My fascination with making sweets began nine years ago, when a illness prevented me from engaging in physical fitness; what I had previously spent much of my free time doing. I needed to keep busy, and as gingerbread houses had always charmed me, I decided to try my hand at one. The first house I made wasn't the prettiest, but I was hooked! The more I made them, the more I found there was to try. Thank goodness the illness only lasted about six months, and I'm grateful for it now, because it led me to find one of my favorite hobbies.
Candy.com: What is your absolute favorite candy to use on a gingerbread house? (We love your use of pink rock candy sticks!)
Marian: Candy canes first, and gumballs come a close second. Oh, and I do love the rock candy sticks, too! They have this pretty, kind of 'candy gem' look, and can easily be matched to any color theme.
Candy.com: In your opinion, what's the trickiest part to creating a gingerbread house?
Marian: I would have to say putting the walls together and the roof on. As long as you've got a really good royal icing (nice and thick), that will do wonders in making the process much easier. Until I found the recipe I use now, I went through a few frustrating experiences.
Candy.com: Do you have a rule of thumb for about how much candy to buy per small-sized and/or large-sized house?
Marian: It depends on the style I'm going for. If I'm making a house that I'd like to have a bit more of a realistic look, I'm a little more choosy and sparse with the candy. If I'm making a fun, whimsical type of gingerbread house, like the pink-themed one in this post, I pile on the candy! It's always good to buy a little extra, as oftentimes I'm not sure how much I'll need until I begin decorating. Plus, that way my husband and I can snack a bit, without being worried that there won't be enough to finish the house!
For more tips, check out Marian's blog post Gingerbread House Ideas and video Making a Gingerbread House.

Social Work at Xavier
Social work at Xavier is a four-year undergraduate program grounded in the liberal arts which grants the student a bachelor of social work degree (BSW). Students graduate with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to practice as a generalist social worker and/or to continue their education through graduate school.
Vision Statement
The vision of Xavier University's program in Social Work in the College of Social Sciences, Health, and Education is to be a leader in social justice oriented undergraduate social work education through innovative educational partnerships with a strong adherence to diversity and the values of Jesuit and Social Work education.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Social Work is to educate students for generalist practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities within an academic environment fostering critical thinking with specific attention to diversity, values, ethics, and social justice.
Generalist Practice: Definition adopted by Xavier's Program in 2002:
"The application of an eclectic knowledge base, professional values, and a wide range of skills to target systems of any size, for change within the context of four primary processes. First, generalist practice involves working effectively with an organizational structure and doing so under supervision. Second, it requires the assumption of a wide range of professional roles. Third, generalist practice involves the application of critical thinking skills to the planned change process. Fourth, it emphasizes client empowerment" (p. 7).
Kirst-Ashman, K., Hull, G. (2002). Understanding Generalist Practice. Pacific Grove, CA: Brooks/Cole Publishers.
The Program
To be a generalist practitioner, the student must acquire knowledge of social work theory and develop his or her skills as a practitioner under professional supervision. The social work student invests 53 credit hours in related classroom courses and over 460 clock hours (eight credit hours) in a field placement site practicing social work. In order to complete this course of study, the student devotes nearly the entire third and fourth years of study to social work classes, field education and supporting courses in the social sciences.
Social work at Xavier is unique in that it is grounded in and reflects the mission of Jesuit education. The shared values of service, solidarity, and social justice with an emphasis on human diversity make social work at Xavier a challenging and rewarding program for our students. As well, the Jesuit focus on cura personalis, or care of the whole person, reflects the approach of Xavier University towards its students and fits well with social work's underlying philosophy of Person-in-Environment.
Department Learning Outcome Goals
The following five goals of Xavier University's Social work program are linked to the student learning outcomes of the university:
- Critical Thinking & Research: students will apply critical thinking skills in order to engage as both a consumer and producer of research informed practice and practice informed research.
- Professional Practice: students will identify as professional social worker and become leaders in shaping the areas of engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation to effectively address societal trends.
- Ethics & Values: students will engage in an ethical decision making process based on the core values and ethical principles of socialwork including identifying personal and professional values that play a role in that process.
- Policy & Social Justice: students will engage in analysis and action regarding policy and practice standards that are informed by knowledge of institutional discrimination, oppression, and privilege and that advance social justice for all.
- Human Behavior & Diversity: students will know and utilize social work cultural competency standards and theories of human behavior grounded in a person-in-environment perspective.
In addition, the five departmental goals are also linked to social work program accreditation standards, competencies, and practice behaviors. The BSW Program at Xavier University is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

"Priest's" marketing team is here for you. They know you're feeling alone in the world, unable to find anyone to answer your questions like "What is that 'Priest' movie? Is it about celibacy? Is it somehow related to 'The Da Vinci Code'?" (Maybe that's just me.) Thankfully, there's a Tag on the film's stand-up promo material to connect fans with more context.
The film, a "Western-fused post-apocalyptic thriller" coming out May 13, stars Paul Bettany (I knew this movie had a connection to "The Da Vinci Code"), Cam Gigandet of "Twilight" and "The O.C.," not that you or I have watched those, and Maggie Q of the recent "La Femme Nikita" TV reboot. Scanning the Tag takes users to a three-minute animated prologue that Genndy Tartakovsky created to provide some back story for the movie. As many films use Tag to link to trailers ("Bad Teacher," "Battle Los Angeles," and "Bridesmaids" in recent weeks), giving people bonus material that isn't part of the movie is a creative way to pique their interest.
Watch the animated prologue:

A woman awoke during the night to find that her husband was not in bed.She went downstairs looking for him. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appeared to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She saw tears rolling from his eyes as he sipped his coffee.
"What's the matter with you, my dear? Why are you down here at this time of the night?" she asked.
"Do you remember twenty years ago when we were dating and you were only 16?" he asked.
"Yes, I do," she replied.
"Do you remember when your father caught us while dating?"
"Yes, I do remember," she replied.
"Do you remember when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or spend twenty years in jail?"
"Yes, I do," she said, getting a little teary- eyed herself at his fond recollection.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "You know... I would have been released today."

I wanted to invite people to my yearly tradition.
Every year, on Talk Like A Pirate Day, I take my list of Pirate Carols, put on my best Pirate Regalia, and I go out and sing door-to-door. I know I am new to the forum, but I wanted to invite anyone who might want to attend to join us!
1) Spread the influence of his noodly goodness!
2) Pirates sing Sea Shanties, Carolers sing Carols. Neither actually requires (or typically possesses) any singing ability. Pirate Carols perhaps require less singing ability than any other form of song invented.
3) People LOVE us! It's a great feeling. They come out, they clap. We've been offered money, drinks, fireworks... lots of stuff. It's never expected, but always appreciated.
Even if you can't join my group of carolers, I urge you to try it for yourself. But if you can make it to Portland, OR on September 19th, here's where we are meeting and what we are doing:
WHERE: Laurelhurst Park in Portland, Oregon
WHEN: September 19th
3-4 PM: Meet up at the north end of the "lake" in the park, practice carols, admire regalia.
4 PM: Begin walking the streets, singing carols.
7 PM: Caroling Ends. Possibility of going somewhere for dinner or something else- I like to play it by ear.
If you are coming from the Portland Pirate Festival, you can hop on the 75 bus line and it will take you directly to the park. otherwise you can get directions from Google Maps, Mapquest, or some other website.
No need to RSVP, but if you do I'll print out an extra set of carols for you. Just bring yourself and your best pirate regalia!

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
An East Carbon/Sunnyside Community Daze tradition will continue in 2013 with another Bo Huff Family, Food, Fun and Bands Rockabilly Weekend.
In addition to the annual rodeo, Rockabilly activities will kick off at dusk Friday evening as bands including Mad Max and the Wild Ones, Victor Trevino Jr., the Cash Prophets and Eddie Clendening will play through the weekend.
Vendors, bikes, cars and many other custom crazies will be on hand through the weekend on Geneva Drive in East Carbon. The site, just off U.S. Highway 123, provides a unique venue for the event, as it is fronted by a street that essentially serves as a parking lot.
This year's Community Daze weekend includes a third Friday night event, as Miner's Trading Post and the Sunnyside Credit Union will host their own parking lot party starting at 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
The party will feature music by the Jeff Keele Band along with food, games and fun. The Community Daze Parade will begin registration at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning at Miners. Area kids are encouraged to decorate their bike and join the parade for fun and prizes.
More of the Event can be found in the Printed Sun Advocate on page B3.

Why CTF4 is bad
"Any sufficiently skilled player is indistinguishable from a hacker."
To bring an interesting twist to this thread, what about A&D, where speed matters the most (at least in my version).... I'd like to see some fastcaps with rocket jumping... For in A&D the fastcaps don't just require strafing...
As a result of this not being explicitly defined in the original post.... I will start an offshoot thread soon for the A&D playerbase, for the fast caps thread... Since in A&D in pre-game warmup you cannot pick up flags, I will replicate the settings in CTF
EDIT: Ok, maybe god mode is already used, but one more thing... The weapons run should have the "bar" set with the strafe ones, since the strafe run is eligible to also be used as a weapons run..

The problem is nobody submits weapon-run demos so noobcake still holds the records - except a few.
Rocky I'm sure you have my video when I capped the flag in 8 seconds on fallout bunker whilst going through ppl. It was A&D too.

With expenses rising and showing no signs of abating, the city of Ogdensburg has created an employee committee to help figure out ways to cut health insurance costs for city workers.
City Manager John M. Pinkerton and eight other city employees met for the first time last week to begin dealing with a growing private and public sector problem.
Were working collaboratively to try and mitigate the (health care) cost increases, he said Tuesday.
The city is self-insured. The citys bill for health care coverage for its 516 current and retired employees and their dependents in January and February came to $638,071.72.
That two-month total represents 24.08 percent of the $2,650,267 budget for this year, and reflects a monthly average bill of $319,035.86. March health insurance costs have not yet been calculated.
The citys health care budgets of recent years have often exceeded their projections, with the rising costs of prescription drugs a notable factor.
Last year, according to the city comptrollers office, the total bill was $2,652,387.51, an increase of $152,320 over the $2,500,068 that was budgeted.
In 2011, the citys total health care bill was $2,325,766.80, an increase of $75,606 over the budget of $2,250,161.
Mr. Pinkerton said the employee committees agenda for items for discussion so far includes prescription drug costs and wellness programs.
Were looking at different options, he said.
In addition to the city manager, the other members of the committee are: City Comptroller Philip A. Cosmo; Coralee Barrett, Mr. Pinkertons secretary; Assistant Fire Chief Ronald D. Bouchard; Police Detective Sgt. Robert H. Wescott; Police Patrolman Mark T. Kearns; Patrick McCarthy of the Public Works Department; Matt R. Denner of the Parks and Recreation Department; and Julie Frazier-Gebo, of the Ogdensburg Public Library and Frederic Remington Art Museum.

Queensland Cup - Round 15 - Preview
PREMIERS Redcliffe face the very real prospect of dropping four points out of the top five if they lose to Tweed Seagulls at Piggabeen in this weekend?s ABC televised match. Redcliffe?s loss to Ipswich last weekend in the grand final replay, put the club out of the top five for the first time in a decade with the Dolphins on 17 points, two behind Ipswich and Burleigh. Ipswich should pick up another two points against Wests at Purtell Park this Saturday afternoon and Burleigh are a good show of beating the North Queensland Young Guns at Dairy Farmers Stadium on Saturday night. So the pressure is on the Dolphins, particularly as they are travelling to hostile territory in New South Wales. In the other Saturday match the Central Comets host Easts Tigers at Browne Park with a 7.30pm kick-off. On Sunday there are two games with plenty of appeal both with 3pm kick-offs. Competition leaders, Wynnum Seagulls play Norths Devils at Bishop Park with Norths (10 points) looking for a win to keep alive their slim semi-final hopes. In the other match Souths Logan Magpies play Toowoomba Clydesdales at Davies Park and it is anyone?s guess what sort of side the Clydesdales turn out given the fact some of their players might have been required for duty with the Brisbane Broncos against the Sydney Roosters at Suncorp Stadium on the Friday night. Next weekend the annual City v Country match will be held at Barcaldine in western Queensland with both sides named during the week. As a result there will be just one Queensland Cup match ? between Norths and Souths Logan at Bishop Park and it will be shown on ABC television. On the schoolboy front the annual Confraternity Shield for Independent schools will be held on the Gold Coast starting this Sunday and finishing on July 4 while the under-15 national titles will be held in Canberra during the same period. And in tertiary rugby league the British students open and under-21 sides arrive in Cairns on Monday for the start of their Australian tour, which includes a Test match against Australia at Langlands Park on July 15. The tour opens with a match in Townsville this week. In England the annual ?War of the Roses? between Yorkshire and Lancashire ? the British version of State of Origin will be held at Odsal Stadium, Bradford on Wednesday night.
Super League Saturday - Review
LONDON Broncos moved up to fifth place in the Tetley's Super League table with a 50-16 win at Halifax on Saturday night. Halifax, without a win since the opening day of the season at London, harboured hopes of repeating that when they were level at 10-all during an even first quarter.

Bengal bus strike called off
Commuters faced a hard time Thursday as a section of bus operators launched a two-day strike in West Bengal to press for a hike in fares. After an official assurance, the operators ended the agitation in the evening.
The protestors also decided not to continue the strike on Friday, as planned earlier.
Earlier, over 50 lakh commuters faced lengthy queues as fewer buses plied in the city.
"There are less buses but still a good number are plying... however, it is not sufficient... we are standing for a long time in queues," said a commuter.
After following through the first day of the strike Thursday, the Joint Council of Bus Syndicates, one of the largest bus operators in the state, called off the strike and dropped its plan to continue the agitation for the second day on Friday.
The strike was called off after Transport Minister Madan Mitra promised the operators a resolution of their demands. Buses will be back on the roads Friday morning.
Sadhan Das of the Joint Council of Bus Syndicates, told IANS: "We have been requested to call off the strike by the minister. He has assured us that a decision will be taken regarding fare hike after Durga puja."
"We do not want public to be inconvenienced... buses will ply tomorrow morning onwards," Das said.
While the protestors stayed off the roads, buses of state-run organisations like West Bengal Surface Transport Corp and Calcutta State Transport Corp ferried passengers across the city.
Around 3,000 private buses of the Bengal Bus Syndicate were also plying.
Operators have been pressing for a hike since the last revision in November 2012, asserting that the last increase was not enough to cover operational costs.
Earlier in the day, Mitra warned a section of bus operators to mobilise their fleet as early as possible, failing which their permits would be seized.
"I will give them a bit of time... but if they do not start operating the buses by then, then I will have to ask the police to confiscate their permits," said Mitra.
In compliance, several buses were towed away by police.

Off to See 'The Wizard of Oz,' in 3-D and IMAX, Oh My!
By USA Today: Scott Bowles on June 3, 2013
After dazzling audiences 75 years ago, 'The Wizard of Oz' returns for a one-week run in September in 3-D and on IMAX screens, part of a studio movement to remaster the classics.

LOS ANGELES — There's no place like a restored home.
Nearly 75 years after its dazzling Technicolor debut, The Wizard of Oz will be converted to 3-D and IMAX for a one-week theatrical run in September, Warner Bros. and IMAX officials will announce Tuesday.
The restoration marks the film industry's highest-profile conversion yet of a 2-D classic. Already, studios have remastered films including Titanic, Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
But Oz "is as iconic as they come," says Greg Foster, chairman and president of Imax Entertainment. "It was one of the first movies that truly came out at you with an explosion of color."
Studio execs hope to come at audiences with an enhanced look at the yellow brick road: namely, digitally enhanced sound and images to bring Dorothy and company into 3-D and IMAX's colossal format. Warner Bros. quietly remastered the film for months before bringing the reel to IMAX for a test run.

Exelon is halting efforts to gain initial federal regulatory approvals for new nuclear construction in Victoria County, Texas, the company announced today.
VICTORIA, Texas — Exelon is halting efforts to gain initial federal regulatory approvals for new nuclear construction in Victoria County, Texas, the company announced today.
The company has notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that it will withdraw its Early Site Permit application for an 11,500-acre tract southeast of Victoria. The action is in response to low natural gas prices and economic and market conditions that have made construction of new merchant nuclear power plants in competitive markets uneconomical now and for the foreseeable future.
"While we have decided to withdraw our application for this particular project, Exelon's presence in Texas is growing and will continue to grow," said Charles G. Pardee, chief operating officer of Exelon Generation, the nation's largest nuclear operator. "We like doing business in Texas. It has a welcoming environment for business and industry, the competitive market is strong and the people are great. Exelon is in Texas for the long haul."
Following Exelon's successful merger with Constellation Energy, the company operates more than 4,000 megawatts of natural gas and wind generation capacity in Texas. It also sells electricity to more than 144,000 residential accounts through its StarTex brand, and to nearly 35,000 commercial customers through Constellation New Energy. Exelon and its subsidiaries have offices in Austin, Dallas and Houston.
Exelon originally submitted an application for a combined construction and operating license for the Victoria County site in 2008, but never made a decision to build a nuclear plant there. In 2010 the company applied for an Early Site Permit, a change in licensing strategy that allowed Exelon to continue with some aspects of site evaluation and regulatory approvals while deferring a construction decision for up to 20 years. Today's withdrawal brings an end to all project activity.
"Victoria County was Exelon's location of choice because of its strong community support. People made us feel at home in their community from the very first day, and they still do," said Marilyn Kray, vice president of Nuclear Project Development for Exelon Generation. "This is all about the economics of the project, which are driven by commodity and financial markets. I cannot stress enough how important it was to us to have partnered with Victoria, and we look forward to other Texas partnerships in the future."
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

Dallas wrote:Paul wrote:I want to point something out that might "sting" for a minute. I'll just try to hold a mirror up to your face,
I know of at least one member of the forum that returned to drinking after some comments that "stung".... That's why we share about ourselves rather than offering stinging comments or advice. Don't do it. Stay away from getting personal or making comments (especially stinging ones) in regards to someone elses comments on the board. It nearly always causes problems.
I'm sorry that you took the words I chose to use out of context. I see you felt compelled to remove a set of words and comments. I don't think that was necessary. If you were to take the sentence I used above completely out of my post, the results would be no different. What I posted were questions that were asked to hopefully encourage any particular person on the forum to reflect. That is to "to look at oneself" or to look at "my role" in a situation that causes a disturbance.
The questions I asked were not "stinging". So I should have avoided using the sentence I used above that you quoted. But in my experience, anyone who takes a personal inventory, it doesn't matter if it's done like step 4 or step 10, and there is a shortcoming they're trying to uncover - well, reflection feels like a sting if I'm in the middle of finding my shortcomings. If I'm doing the forth step and the tenth step to the best of my ability, I'm gonna feel like I'm getting stung - plain and simple. If you would, please tell me what is "controversial" or "offensive" or "hurtful" about these questions:
"Are you being honest with yourself?"
"Are you ashamed of hiding something you don't want others to know?"
Now if you find any of the questions I asked to be offensive, then I'm willing to review them and see where I went wrong. Also, if there is something I posted that was not qualified by something that said "If I used those words, it would mean to me that..." - in other words relating my own experience - which I think I've been painstaking to do - then I need for that to be pointed out. But if you're picking out grammar or semantic mistakes, then to me it's not a constructive way of doing business or like they say around here "Why throw the baby out with the bathwater."
My question to you: Is removing the questions I asked and the comments related to them constructive? Particularly in light of the topic of the "10th Step Promises". From my experience, asking reflective questions is how an inventory is took.

|Fatal Fire Afternoon Update: Little New
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 23 January 2013 15:01
The latest on this morning's fatal fire is a waiting game—waiting for an autopsy, a fire investigation, literally frozen in the cold. Boone Chief Jimmy Isaacs confirmed the fatality in the 3:40am fire, but he said this afternoon that few other details have been officially determined
as the matter is still under investigation, and the autopsy results not yet finalized. The fire call came in to an address on Rainbow Trail near Rocky Lane, explosions, probably from tires exploding on a car that was also burning, waking those living near the mobile home. Arriving firemen found the mobile home and an adjacent structure fully involved in flames, and with other homes very close to the mobile home, firemen worked to contain the fire to the two already burning structures, and discovered the deceased as they were finally able to start their search of the rubble. Initial calls on the fire indicated that someone might be in the mobile home, and now that has been confirmed, with family, neighbors, and friends revealing the name of the woman who lived there, but without official word, we're leaving it at that. Cove Creek manned Boone Station 1 while Meat Camp, and Deep Gap went to the scene. Watauga Medics and Watauga Rescue stood by in case of other injuries and exposure to the 10-degree cold.

You Can Use Your CrockPot as a Smoker
Day 220.
Alternative title: CrockPot Smoked Brisket Recipe
I have been reading Jared's blog, the CrockPot Alchemist, with interest this year. He has the same think-out-of-the-box (crock!) mentality I seem to have when it comes to crockpotting, and not only does he come across as an awfully nice guy you'd like to have dinner with, he is quite funny.
Jared likes things to taste smokey. He uses Liquid Smoke, and has written about how it isn't a super-scary-chemical-concoction.
But I can't find it. I've looked in about 6 grocery stores around here, and just. can't. find. it. I've emailed a few people who have given me liquid smoke recipes and they can find it at Walmart. We don't have Walmart here. I guess I need to take a Walmart field trip, which is fine by me, because they have the most comfortable tank tops I've ever worn, and I'd like to stock up on layering options for fall. (in case you were wondering. you may have been.)
Anyways---since I couldn't find any liquid smoke, and because I was spurred on by the Last Food Network Star when the comedian guy built a smoker, I turned the crockpot into a smoker yesterday.
And it totally worked.
The Ingredients.
--3-4 lbs beef brisket or comparable hunk o' meat
--1-2 cups mesquite wood chips (depends on size of crockpot), soaked
--favorite spice rub. I used McCormick's Roasting Rub.
--1/2 cup of water. or beer. or wine. or broth.
--parchment paper
The Directions.
Soak your wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes, and drain the water.
Spread out a good-sized length of parchment paper on the counter, and put the wood chips inside.
Fold over the edges of the paper to enclose the wood chips and make a packet, similar to a foil packet (I was worried foil would rust), that fits inside your crockpot completely.
Put it in.
With scissors, cut teeny tiny holes here and there in the top level of the parchment paper to let smoky steam escape.
Rub all sides of your meat with spice rub. Put it in the crockpot, directly on top of the parchment paper packet (lots of Ps, there).
Cover with whatever liquid you are going to use. I stuck with water.
Put the lid on and cook on low for 8-10 hours. The meat is done when it is cooked through and has reached desired tenderness. I wanted ours to fall apart, and cooked it on low for 9 hours.
The Verdict.
It worked!
The parchment didn't disintegrate, and the wood chips never touched the meat. The brisket was flavorful and had a definite smoky flavor in each bite.
My spice rub was quite peppery, so after the first few bites, I mostly tasted pepper, but the smoke was infused.
The kids loved it, and called it "the best steak my mom has ever made in the crockpot." It cracks me up that they included the "in the crockpot" part.
I have POUNDS of mesquite chips left, and am interested in smoking some salmon.

Okay, I have been reading your blog since January and can't wait to check it each morning to see what you have done once again. This is amazing. I have 4 different sized crockpots that are grossly underused. You have just proven to me that you can do ANYTHING in the crockpot and I think I will utilize it more now. Keep it up!!

Wow! I'm stunned. Did the chips actually heat to the point where they gave off smoke? If so, I'll bet you didn't want to lift the lid of your crock too much. :)
- August 7, 2008 at 8:04 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Maggi,
I did not lift the lid at all during cooking time, but I think it was mostly steam and not actual smoke that flavored the meat.
- August 7, 2008 at 8:07 AM
Hello crockpot lady,
your blog and recipes are wonderful.
But today, I'm more interested in finding out just what kinds of tank tops you're talking about that's so darn comfortable? Please share specific brand names!
- August 7, 2008 at 8:18 AM
- MaryLu said...
Wow!! You constantly amaze me!
I love smoked meats, salmon is soon to be running here and they will be plentiful. I'd love to try that here.
One question, I have a can of Smokehouse wood chips, the size of a tuna can, it has a small hole in the top to let out the smoke flavor as it heats on the grill so it smokes the meat.
Do you suppose you could stick that in the crock instead of the parchment paper bag of chips? Just wondering...
I'm so gonna try this, it sounds fabulous!
- August 7, 2008 at 8:20 AM
- Kelli said...
That sounds delicious!
You inspire me, your recipes always sound delicious and I'm so glad I found your blog! I wish I could remember whose I found it through, but sometimes it's one link leads to another, and then before you know it, you've forgotten how you got somewhere!
I've sent your blog link to several of my family who love to cook, and need new ideas. You're always so creative.
I cooked a ham in mine a few weeks ago and although no one could tell me I couldn't do it, no one could tell me that they had done it. But it turned out so well and it kept the kitchen from getting hot and was delicious, just putting the ham in there with a Coke poured over it. Southern cuisine at its finest:)
Thanks for inspiring me!

- Jessica said...
I had no idea....off to the freezer to thaw a big "hunk o meat"!!!!
If you continue to not find liquid smoke, I'll be happy to ship some to you ~ just because I'm dying to see what amazing recipe you'll think up to use it!!! :)
- August 7, 2008 at 9:17 AM

MUST Try this!!! What a fantastic idea Steph!!!

Wow, this was such a great idea! How inventive. I now wish I had a brisket waiting for me in the freezer. Maybe I can try it with chicken breasts or *gasp* turkey legs! Oh me oh my! thanks for the inspiration....

can't wait to try this!!! brilliant!
- August 7, 2008 at 9:54 AM
I'm guessing that you do not live south of the Mason-Dixon? We have it in abundance - yet another blessing of being Southern! Thanks for sharing your crocking quest - it's great!
- August 7, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Now that's being creative in the kitchen!! I have a recipe for Kalua Pork that uses liquid smoke and you cook in the oven. I'm thinking it might work using your method in the crock pot! BTW...I can find liquid smoke in most all the grocery stores here in Utah. I find it in the ketchup isle...usually on the top shelf by the "Kitchen Bouquet" browning sauce. Thanks for all your great recipes, and for inspiring me to use my slow cooker more!!
- August 7, 2008 at 9:57 AM
- ~Kat~ said...
I don't even like beef but heck, that actually sounds good enough that I might try it!
I wonder if liquid smoke is even gluten free? hmm... who cares- I like your quick and easy recipe even without it.
I may try it with Red Bridge though.
- August 7, 2008 at 10:08 AM
- The Calico Cat said...
Wow, I am so intrigued. (I have seen liquid smoke, but I have always steered clear of it.)
Do try the salmon - I am even more intrigued by that. (I have heard of cooking salmon on a plank of wood...)
- August 7, 2008 at 10:21 AM
- zakary said...
That is a wicked awesome idea.
Liquid smoke kinda freaks me out. I can't wait to try this.

Wow! Who would have thought it could be done?
- August 7, 2008 at 11:29 AM
- Joanna said...
Oh wow, Steph! I never even thought of this technique before. That looks like some delicious brisket. Adam was my favorite on The Next Food Network Star! I was bummed when he didn't win :( If you ever watched Top Chef, the one guy with the blonde mohawk (can't think of his name) made this AMAZING brisket using brown sugar and mustard. When I find the recipe, you HAVE to try it.
By the way, I made a blog! It's about time.
- August 7, 2008 at 11:29 AM
About liquid smoke.....
I understand why some people are leary of this product...because I was too! It just sounded kinda funky! I had never bothered to read the ingredients list...I just never wanted to try it. Then I tried it in the Kalua Pork recipe, and it was so good! My daughter-in-law is a Celiac, and she can eat this with no problem, so I know there is no gluten in it. Here are the list of ingredients on my bottle of "Colgin Natural Hickory Liquid Smoke":water, natural hickory smoke flavor, vinegar, molasses, caramel color and salt.
My friend makes the most delicious beef jerkey, and she uses this brand of liquid smoke in her marinade. Give it a try...you just might like it!
- August 7, 2008 at 11:29 AM
I was just going to post a comment about wanting a crockpot brisket recipe, since weare trying that in the crock today as well - you beat me to it! We didn't use the chips but may try it next time- thanks!

I just happened to pick up a bottle at Safeway. Do you have a Safeway near you? I was planning on making pulled pork bbq sandwiches in my crock while on family vacation next week. I'll send the recipe if it turns out!
- August 7, 2008 at 12:21 PM

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so unclear. I just picked up a bottle of LIQUID SMOKE from Safeway.

I have never made a brisket but have definitely used Liquid Smoke. Great stuff. I can't wait to try this recipe.

I just bought you some Liquid Smoke. Shipping address?

As a thank you for sharing such great recipes everyday, I would love to send you a bottle of Liquid Smoke. Email me your address! :-)

- Anna said...
I think I love you. Smoke, it's what's for dinner. ;)
Wait, that sounds like a commercial for Camel, or something.
I have fond memories of hickory smoked turkey from my father, and my husband has no clue. I am GOING to do this. SOON.
- August 7, 2008 at 1:44 PM
- Becca said...
SO I think I read your blog everyday not only for the great recipe ideas but for your random comments about whatever is in your head! I too love Walmarts tanks and have many in different colors! I will definetely try this smoking idea. Looks like fun!

We live in Alaska, and because of this, my husband goes dipnetting for salmon every year. This year, he only brought home 26, including several Kings, one of which weighed 65 lbs. Anyway, we smoke a lot of salmon. This year, it turned out the best yet. I could literally get sick on smoked salmon. It could be viewed by some as an addiction, I think. Just wanted to let you know that, in my opinion, smoked salmon won't disappoint you. Ever.
- August 7, 2008 at 2:26 PM
- Jenn Schofield said...
I buy my Liquid Smoke at Safeway. It is by the steak sauce. Let me know if you can't find it and I'd be happy to send you some!
- August 7, 2008 at 2:33 PM
- Amber said...
Wow! I would never have thought you could smoke meat in the crockpot. I'm glad I have you to try all these things out!
As far as the liquid smoke, I've always gotten it at my local grocery stores, Winco and Safeway. I believe it is down by the BBQ sauce in Winco. It's in a small square bottle, kinda like a little bottle of soy sauce. I don't know if you have Winco or not so this may not help. :) I could always mail you a bottle if you continue having trouble finding it.
- August 7, 2008 at 3:18 PM
- Timincal said...
One should be able to purchase liquid smoke in ANY grocery store in the U.S.
I laughed when you soaked the wood chips and then THREW AWAY the water.
You could have boiled the water with the wood chips in it and that would have tasted like mesquite.
Next time you go to the store ask someone who works there!Find the manager and he will know if they have it.If not than can order it for you.

Where do you live that you don't have a Wal-Mart near you? :-)
- August 7, 2008 at 3:40 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
oh you guys are so funny. okay. the kids and I went for a walk and went BACK to the Safeway where I couldn't find it a bunch of times that I looked. I asked someone who worked there, and we stood in the condiment aisle for a good 10 minutes before I found it. 1 kind, 1 brand, and it WAS in a squarish bottle, and didn't look like what I thought it would look like.
I still didn't buy it (it was $4.95, and I'm not absolutely certain yet how I'll use it) but now I know exactly where to go.
thank you.
the Internet rocks.
you all ROCK.
- August 7, 2008 at 4:14 PM
wow, i cant belive such a hard time finding liquid smoke. i have it by the gallon at our house. (we also live in the south, its pretty much manditory) but i crock an awesome pork roast in liquid smoke and water with some bbq rub. when its done i shred it with bbq sauce. yum!
- August 7, 2008 at 6:39 PM
- Jared said...
I appreciate the shout out. You are far too kind to me. Love the smoker concept. Way to take it to the next level. Sorry to hear you are having problems finding liquid smoke, but it looks like you are quite good at improvising.
- August 7, 2008 at 7:37 PM
- Jai said...
I can mail you some liquid smoke if you like .. just in case you don't get to Wal-Mart anytime soon!
Will have to try this AND his site.
- August 7, 2008 at 7:47 PM
This sounds wonderful! I can't wait to hear how your salmon turns out!!! YUM!

Okay, now THIS I'm gonna have to try! I have made a number of your dishes/recipes and they have ACTUALLY been a hit with my family! Surprise, surprise. You go girl! I would be more than happy to send you some liquid smoke! Here in the "Big Easy", it's everywhere!! Let me know! ;)
- August 7, 2008 at 8:09 PM
- Tara @ Feels like home said...
This is a tremendous idea! I'm going to share it with my hubby who will certainly want to try it.
- August 7, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Publix has liquid smoke too if you have one of those. Here's what I do with it and a brisket. Just before bed, put the brisket in the crock along with the whole bottle of LS. Cook on low all night. In the morning drain the meat. Put it back in the crock and cover with your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook on low all day. I used about 2/3 of the bottle until the meat fell apart. Then I shredded the meat and added the rest of the sauce. This is the best BBQ meat you'll ever taste. It's SO GOOD. Thanks for the blog. I am loving your blog and the recipes. My family is thankful too.

- baking scientist said...
I was just wondering if crock-pot smoking would work. I polled my smoking friends who said no way. Now I can prove them wrong!
- August 7, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Very interesting concept! I'm thinking that you could have used foil. It's aluminum...doesn't rust.
- August 8, 2008 at 5:26 AM
Two things: Yes, Liquid smoke is gluten free.
Liquid Smoke should be in with the other condiments (ketchup, chili sauce, worcestershire, etc..) and it's a very small squarish bottle, and there is usually one row of it so it sort of blends in...mine was found at the very top shelf wedged between rows of worcestershire and somethign else that didnt' make sense....basically, ask your customer service at your grocery store, they will look it up in their system and direct you...
- August 8, 2008 at 5:28 AM
Okay, so I did it the lazy way. Soaked my wood chips, dumped them in the crock pot, put some poked foil on top and put a hunk a meat on there. Worked fine. Definitely smokey in flavor, but also dry. I don't know why. Anyways, would have been great for pulled pork or beed sandwich meat, or maybe fish. Our steaks were wonderful in flavor, but pretty mucky otherwise. I think that by cooking on the foil, or not in the juices, dried it out. Not sure how to go around that, but I will definitely be trying again. On a good note, tasted kind of like beef jerky. . . any jerky for the crock pot coming?
- August 8, 2008 at 7:50 AM
- jinxi said...
wow!!! Im going to tell my husband.. even though we just bought a smoker.. maybe I wont and just surprise him hahaa.
- August 8, 2008 at 8:02 AM
I have smoked chicken in my crockpot as well. It's one whole chicken, salt to taste, and 1/4 cup of liquid smoke. That seems like a lot of liquid smoke but it's really not overpowering. We really like it. It never occurred to me to use wood chips though. That sounds so good! I really enjoy your blog. It is entertaining and you have so many good recipes on here.
- August 8, 2008 at 8:57 AM
- The Calico Cat said...
If you smoked salmon in the crockpot - how long would you cook it?
I have never even thought to do fish in the crockpot...
- August 8, 2008 at 10:22 AM
- Andie said...
Steph- taht sounds like a fantastic idea! I'll have to try that out-either with the chips OR with liquid smoke.
Have you ever tried making any cajun dishes in your crockpot? Like Red Beans & Rice (you just make the beans in the crock, and serve over rice) my grandma used to make hers in the crockpot- SO SO YUMMY!
If you are interested in the recipe, drop me an email- sweetsouthernspirited@coxdotnet

hey really quick, if you do go to walmart on a field trip, their store brand of soy sauce if gf. la choy must make it. it is way cheaper than most of the gf soy sauces. i use soy a ton and was really frustrated when i was diagnosed with celiac b/c of my love for any asian food. the gf soy sauce is usually pretty expensive so i was jazzed to find out about that. passing it along...

we use a lot of soy sauce, too.

Looks delicious! I'm going to have to try this recipe. Have you tried collard greens in the crock pot? I have and absolutely love them! If you like greens, google the crock pot recipe for them or I can send it to you...I have it bookmarked.
- August 8, 2008 at 10:53 PM
- Renata said...
I read a comment about the meat being dry, it may be the cut of meat. If it is too lean, there just won't be enough fat in the meat to keep it moist.
Thanks for the great recipe. I'm going to try it this week!
- August 11, 2008 at 4:33 AM
I don't understand how much water you added to the crockpot for this smoked brisket recipe, please. Did you add enough to cover just the wood chip packet or the packet AND the roast? Thank you so much!
- August 11, 2008 at 6:32 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Anon, I soaked the wood chips, then drained them and wrapped them in the parchment. Then I plopped the meat on top and poured 1/2 cup of water over the meat.
I was worried about the meat drying out, and had never smoked anything before (on the grill, etc.) so didn't really know how to best approach what I was doing.
I was pleased with the tenderness of the meat and the slight smoky flavor.
- August 11, 2008 at 7:08 AM
- Clara said...
It took me a while to find liquid smoke, too. But it is SO worth looking for. I use it in A LOT of things. Burgers, steak, chili, pork loin (before I went porkless, that is!), even just a little on turkey before you roast it. Yum! I find mine over with the BBQ sauce. If you can't find it near you, you can order it online!
Hope that helps!

Can I just say that you are a God send. I consider it a true blessing to have found your blog. My husband bought a huge brisket last year...it has been taking up too much room in my freezer for too long. I had no idea how to cook it since we don't have a grill at the moment (I really didn't want to heat up the house by using the oven either). Anyway, you came through for me...I'm giving it a try tonight!

I was thinking. If your grocery store doesn't carry Liquid Smoke, you can probably ask the manager if they could order some for you. I'm in Los Angeles and I know Ralph's does this. Maybe Safeway will too? Worth a try. Take care!

What you don't have a Wal-Mart... Do you live in the USA? Hee hee... I have lived in San Diego County and I had 2... When we moved to the backwoods of NW Missouri I was so sick of Wal-Mart!! I had the choice of driving 20 minutes to a regular old Wal-Mart or driving 1 hour to a Super Wal-Mart.. I just about peed my pants when Target came in...
Okay back to your blog... just love it!! Sorry I missed you on the Rachel Show!! I am determined to try your Creme Brule... I just called my daughter who was heading to Wal-Mart with a shopping list so I can do the smoked brisket!! Thanks so much for being a fantabulous guinea pig!!

Thanks for the ideas!

- Unknown said...
so...just an idea...since it's dry if you don't add water, what if you WANT it dry, for sort of a "carne seca" effect...I think I will try soaking mesquite bean pods for about an hour, place in crock pot, cover with pierced foil, add meat rubbed with garlic, salt, cumin, and pepper, and cook. After cooking, dry saute some chili, onion, and tomato in a cast iron skillet, and then add shredded roast....hmmmmm....will let you know how it turns out!

I tried making a smoked whole chicken in a crock pot. I used wood chips, soaked them, and put them in an aluminum foil to make a foil packet.
I also used Wright's Liquid Smoke, which I found at Smart & Final. None of my grocery stores had them, not even Safeway. Target said they only carried them seasonally, in winter.
While the chicken had a smokey flavor, it was also bland. I had started to pour the liquid smoke over the chicken, but then it appeared to "wash" / rinse away my seasoning, So I poured the rest of the amount I was going to use, in the bottom of the crock pot.
So the blandness of the chicken was a disappointment, even though it was smokey.
Also, the two prior times I tried a seasoned whole chicken, I didn't like the way it came out. I had tried Stephanie's recipe two prior times, and even though they smelled great when they were cooking, the flavor was still light.
The only whole crockpot chicken I've been able to make to my liking is her lemon rosemary one. I've made that one twice, and it comes out great.

Hello! I've just stumbled across your blog while looking for things to smoke in my crockpot, Moore Wilsons (at least the one in Wellington) sells bottles of liquid smoke it's about $20 from memory :)

I stumbled across this blog, and was intrigued with your idea of using the crock pot as a smoker. I am so going to try this, and I am looking forward to you trying it with salmon...please post about that when you do!
- April 27, 2013 at 9:26 PM
- BILL GUTHRIE said...
I tried this this past Monday and couldn't have been more disappointed,the brisket tasted like wood chips. I might as well have just used the water from the soaked wood chips because that's exactly how it tasted.
I did everything like it said to do with the exception of adding any liquid. The juices from the fat of the brisket came over the top of the parchment paper and the brisket came out tender and juicy so I don't know what I did wrong. I will not be trying this again!
- June 26, 2013 at 8:49 AM
- Cee Jay Kay said...
I used this "method" with a venison roast a few weeks back, but I packed the venison in tin foil before setting it on the packet of wood. That had to be the most tender and tastiest venison I've ever cooked. I love this concept.
- February 25, 2014 at 6:29 AM
- Brenda Bell said...
I don't care what anyone says but "smoking" foods with Liquid Smoke is NOT smoking. I have a smoker so I doubt I'll try the crock pot, but I'm sure you got much better results with your method than anyone ever got with Liquid Smoke. Nice creative thinking on your part.

followed recipe exactly, no smoke, wasted time and meat, won't be trying this again...

On Martha Stewart's Valentine's Show today at 11 a.m. (CST) on the Hallmark Channel, Weddings Editorial Director Darcy Miller showed off the Valentine she's giving to her own family and friends: Customized glass jars filled with Candy.com Valentine's candy! (See the how-to and resource guide on Darcy's blog and view the segment.)
Here are two photos from this morning's show. (Thank you Jenn!)
Darcy's Valentine candy jars were darling and seemed simple enough to make, even for a novice crafter like myself (see my humble DIY Valentine's Hearts). I'm pretty sure I'm going to steal this idea down to Madelaine's red chocolate lips!
p.s. – Steal the idea, too. Check out the Valentine's segment with Martha Stewart and Darcy Miller.

Against the Current
Paul Thompson, a financial writer struggling with a tragic past, decides to do something special and unique to distinguish himself. Having always wanted to swim the 150 miles of the lower Hudson River, he recruits his best friend, Jeff, and new acquaintance, Liz, to accompany him on a physical and emotional journey exploring friendship, grief, and how we cope when what we lose is greater than what life has to offer. Beautifully nuanced and restrained, Against the Current swells with friendship and human folly. Playful dialogue entices as smart writing and stellar performances immediately immerse us in the unfulfilled lives of these three characters: a profoundly sad man, a failed actor in an unhappy marriage, and a woman yearning for more while dealing with the pressures of dealing with her mother. The simplicity of this well-crafted narrative is what makes it so beautiful. We can't always understand the decisions others make, but writer/director Peter Callahan adeptly illustrates the intensely complicated dynamics of human relationships and just how far we're willing to go to support those we love.

Douglas Complex knocks out train traffic
GLENDALE, Ore. -- The Douglas Complex fires have burned over 38,000 acres and continue to move south.
No homes have been destroyed but some structures have been damaged.
Train rails and trestles connecting Eugene to northern California were damaged a few days after the fire first started.
Dale Summers, the CORP Roadmaster, showed the damage on Tuesday. "At this particular location the bridge deck caught on fire, probably due to blowing embers from the fire above," he said. "The steel structure is still OK, so right now we're just replacing the bridge deck itself."
Nearly all the wood was burned off, and crews are working to put in 158 deck ties. "Due to the intense heat of the area, it made the rail expand, which added too much rail to the structure and made it buckle out," Summers said.
These tracks make up a major line for freights to pass through. "They're not being diverted," said Summers. "We're just, kind of on a holding pattern."
A little north on the same rail line crews are working to remove a tree measuring 5 feet in width and 64 feet in length, which slid onto the tracks, breaking parts of it.
It's estimated that by this Friday the tracks will be up and ready for service.
