As an ordained minister for many years, my current ministry is to go into different churches, as led by the Lord, and pray for the work of God there, warfaring against the works of the devil. I love to see people delivered. God has given me a love for fasting and prayer, also.
"Witchcraft", as defined in Webster's Dictionary, is "the power or practice of witches; black magic; sorcery." A "witch" is defined as a woman supposedly having supernatural power by a contract with the devil or evil spirits. A man with such power is called a "warlock."
Often, people have the false assumption that witchcraft refers to someone putting items in your food. But that is not always the case. There are many forms of witchcraft. In some cases, it involves conjuring up demons from hell and dispatching them to churches or individuals to cause envy, strife, and confusion. Spirits of delusion (which will cause a false belief or opinion, meant to mislead; deceive or trick) are a strong tool used in witchcraft.
I've found in my many years of ministry, that a spirit of delusion can destroy a marriage. For example, it will cause suspicion and false accusations to be made by one spouse against the other. In the church, divisions between Pastors and members can result when this spirit is loosed to attack the pastor. Many pastors have been hurt, deceived, misused and had their churches split as a result.
The Lord showed me in a vision, that a group of men were chanting and working witchcraft against a well-known recording artist out of jealousy. I saw spirits being sent to attack him. So, I tried to reach him through one of his brothers, a hairdresser and a dancer, but he never responded. I talked to his employees and told them what God had said. I tried to warn him, but he didn't receive it. Shortly afterwards, I began seeing on television news that all kinds of confusion, strife, and mishaps were coming against him and his entourage. He fell from "Number 1″ on the charts to "off" the charts. I wanted to pray with him to destroy the works of darkness. So I prayed for his hairdresser instead, and he received the prayer, and is still being tremendously blessed. So much so, in fact, that he is now writing a book about this testimony.
Recently, I was working with a men's home in Oakland, praying with the brothers there and working deliverance. The brothers were progressing well in the Lord, until a new man moved into the home. I discerned an occult spirit in his eyes. From the moment he came into the home, all kinds of confusion, envy, and strife began erupting daily.
I approached the man and prayed that blindness heaviness, and bondage would be destroyed in him and asked God to reveal to him his heart. He then confessed to the Assistant Pastor that he was a wizard (a male or female magician or sorcerer, one acquainted with the secrets of the unseen world, or an intimate acquaintance of soothsayers; definition, Pictorial Bible Dictionary). He admitted to chanting, but would not repent and turn from his evil deeds. Unbeknownst to him, I was also secretly praying against black magic, and as I did, he started complaining to the counselors that he was going to leave the home. Finally, he did leave and now things are slowly improving there. Prayer will either chase them out or lead to their repentance.
(Remember that people who practice witchcraft are still souls that Jesus died and gave his life for. God loves them and wants them saved too.)
In this book, I have purposely not disclosed any names in order to protect the privacy and identities of the persons involved. God is my witness that all I have related is the truth.

Monsters: A Collection of Literary Sightings, Edited by B.J. Hollars
This collection is the (monster) baby of Pressgang, the newest press project of Butler University. Collectively, it proves that we all need something to be afraid of or in awe of: fear is a form of respect. These pieces survey this concept in as many ways as you can imagine, but they fit together in an impressive way. Misfits, scary things, grotesque things: things that remind us of ourselves to the nth degree. In many ways, monsters are our own heightened emotions. In his introduction, B.J. Hollars says, "These stories are alternately scary, silly, and sinister, and oftentimes deeply affecting. Ironically, these stories are also terribly human, as if to remind us that although our outsides may appear different, our insides remain the same." Perhaps that's the most frightening thought of all. Brian Baldi will have you identifying with Godzilla. Matt Bell will have you rethinking Red Riding Hood, and the wolf, entirely. These stories will make you aware that we are ever afraid of opposites: socializing and loneliness; we need balance, in everything. In the end, we're pretty obsessed with what we can't see: what we can't understand. And really, Laura van den Berg is right: we want to be chased. –Micah Ling

Comments, questions and tips
I made this recipe to the letter and it came out awful. I don't understand what I did wrong. This seemed like a good recipe that my 2 year old and I could make together but I knew as soon as we started to cut out shapes that it was too sticky. We baked them anyway and although my 2 year old enjoyed decorating them and eating one I found them horrible. Not very shortbread like at all! So disappointed.
When I made these a couple of weeks ago the mixture was really sloppy, couldn't roll it with a pin to make the stars I wanted, but could pinch bits off to roll into balls and then flatten slightly before putting them in the oven for about 10 minutes. Was really yummy and the first time ever that a plate of something I've baked and has been cleaned!
Can anyone recommend a way to make the mixture less sloppy?

Palma Violets
Amoeba Review
Palma Violets play unabashed British rock 'n' roll, the kind that gets you on the cover of NME before you release a debut album (not sure if this really happened, but it may as well have). However, Palma Violets are no pretenders. While they deliver rushing three-chord rock, their songs are witty and just intricate enough to keep you interested, while the lo-fi, reverby production does wonders to smooth out their sound and rein in some of their arena ambitions. The band's two frontmen sound like a mix between Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch and Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner, belting irresistibly on "Last of the Summer Wine," which builds from moody instrumental to a catchy singalong halfway through, as well as on balls-out opener "Best of Friends." Detractors may take them to task for not bringing much that's new to the table, but echoes of classic bands from the quite well-known (The Clash, U2, The Strokes) to the cultier (The Walkmen, New Zealand jangle-rockers like The Clean) gel remarkably well across 180. For your fix of quality, young-and-hungry Britpop, look no further.

Resolution: standard / high
Figure 4.
RNAs containing Alu sequences. Because of the high density of Alu elements found in introns, there are many Alu elements located (in both sense and antisense orientations) within the introns of the primary nuclear transcripts (hnRNAs) found in the nucleus. Even after splicing, a high proportion of mature cytoplasmic mRNAs also contain Alu elements in their 3' non-coding regions. Both of the above types of transcript involve capped (blue circle with C), polyadenylated RNAs where one or more Alu elements is included in either orientation within the transcript. The transcripts made from the Alu RNA polymerase III promoter are not capped, include a genomically encoded A-rich region, and terminate at a typical RNA pol III terminator. The transcripts are similar, but not identical, in the Alu region (wavy light blue line), with an A-tail encoded from the genome that is variable in length and often includes non-A bases. The 3' ends of each Alu RNA are unique, and arise from the flanking sequences of the different genomic Alu elements (Figure 1).

Ghizzoni, Andrew Mundweiler and Aaron Hull scored G/M's goals. Hull's game-winning goal came with eight seconds left in regulation.
Simmons stopped 13 shots for the Dutch Warriors, while North Rockland goaltender Anthony DePinto had 24 saves.

MORFI, JUAN AGUSTÍN (?–1783). Juan Agustín Morfi, missionary, teacher, and historian, was born in the province of Asturias, Spain. He moved to America in 1755 or 1756 and became a Franciscan friar on May 3, 1761, at Mexico City. Noted for his learning and for his ability as a sacred orator, he taught theology at the Old College of Santa Cruz de Tlaltelolco and was later a lecturer on sacred theology at the principal monastery of the Franciscans in Mexico. When Teodoro de Croix came to New Spain in December 1776 as the newly appointed commandant general of the Provincias Internas, he decided to make an inspection tour and requested a friar to accompany him as chaplain. Morfi was recommended and accepted the position. On August 4, 1777, the group began the tour that eventually extended through Mexico, Tula, Querétaro, San Miguel de Grande, Zacatecas, Fresnillo, Sombrerete, Durango, Mapimí, Parras, Saltillo, Monclova, San Juan Bautista, and San Antonio de Béxar, then back to Mexico through Chihuahua. On the border between Chihuahua and Coahuila, Morfi must have been separated from the group, for his diary ends abruptly at Las Cruces on February 24, 1778. By March 31, 1778, he was back in Mexico. After his return, he devoted himself to study and writing. In 1782 he was elected guardián of the Convento Grande de San Francisco. He died on October 20, 1783. He is known chiefly for the history of Texas that he compiled after his long and arduous journey.

Joining quilt artist Barbara Wheeler (right) in Jennings were family members Virginia Cook, Jennie Barfield, Chad Barfield and Rachel Barfield.
- Filed Under
The Zigler Museum of Fine Art in Jennings recently opened its latest exhibit with an afternoon reception featuring artists from north Louisiana.
Three of the artists - Marcie Nelson of Benton; Lee Estes of Monroe, and Barbara Wheeler of Spencer, whose works are in the exhibit, were present for the event. All three enjoyed visiting with the crowd and answering numerous questions about their pieces. Also exhibiting but unable to attend was Monroe artist Marlene Gremillion.
Wheeler's quilt - designed and crafted by Wheeler and finished by "The Busy Bees" quilters in Bastrop - attracted significant attention among the guests. The quilt (begun in 1980 and completed in 2012) features blocks that depict various characters as seen in the iconic movie "Gone With the Wind."
As part of the afternoon's activities, Georgiann Potts gave a talk entitled "Pretty, Yet Practical - Quilts and the Textile Arts" in the museum's Fine Arts Gallery. Her presentation placed quilting in historic terms within the Textile Arts tradition, with special emphasis on the history behind the remarkable Wheeler quilt.
"Friends of Barbara Wheeler," a special group of Wheeler's friends and family from north Louisiana, were in Jennings for the weekend to show their support for her.
Enjoying the activities in Jennings were family members Virginia Cook, Wheeler's sister, Chad and Jennie Barfield and their daughter, Rachel, Wheeler's daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, and friends Cathy Brown, Becky Dance, Elnice Davis, Jim and Georgiann Potts, Paul, Wanda and Nathan Simpson and Suzanne Watts.

Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) – Last year's wildfires in the state of Colorado, coupled with the current fires burning right now in the state, have fueled much debate over a Colorado air tanker fleet.
A bipartisan-supported bill to create the fleet was signed into law this last legislative session. Now, the main issue with the bill comes down to funding, as the project would need about $17 million.
The bill's sponsor, Senator Steve King, says the bill and its funding need to be top priority for the state.
"This has to be a clear and present danger; that it is priority one for this governor and for this legislator to wake up and smell the smoke in the air and do something about it," says King.
King says the bill could be funded by asking different state groups to pitch in, saying many hands make light work.

Denel improves its profitabilityComment on this story
Cape Town - State-owned arms manufacturer Denel significantly boosted its net profit to R194 million on the back of a long-term turnaround strategy, its 2013/14 financial results revealed on Friday.
The group's net profit improved by 63 percent and its revenue grew by 17 percent to R4.58 billion, mostly attributable to a surge in exports.
Half of Denel's revenue was made up of developing and producing missiles and other defence items for export to regions such as the Middle East and Asia.
It had attained its largest-ever multi-year order book at R32 billion to be executed over the next 10 years.
"We can safely state that Denel has now returned to profitability on a sustainable basis," group chief executive Riaz Saloojee said in a statement.
"We have achieved the envisaged turnaround and are well on our way to move the company from being a good to a great company - in the process meeting shareholder expectations and transforming Denel into a valuable and self-supporting national asset."
Denel's debt to equity ratio had gone from 2.8:1 in 2012 to 1.1:1 this year.
Fitch Ratings recently upgraded Denel's rating to "AAA" in recognition of its improved financial performance.
Saloojee said Denel was expanding from being a primarily defence company to a broader technology clearing-house as its future growth was dependent on remaining competitive.
In the short-to-medium term, it would further diversify into civil security and command and control.
Systems integration in the maritime industry was a future possibility.
Saloojee said increased co-operation with departments and state bodies was important.
"We have already seen this approach in practice with the recent contract awarded to Denel Aviation to deliver helicopter services and maintenance work to the Transnet National Ports Authority," he said.
Denel also intended becoming involved in the revitalisation of rolling stock belonging to the Passenger Rail Agency of SA.
Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown congratulated Denel on Friday for its performance despite constrained defence budgets around the world.
"We are not celebrating yet as a lot of work still needs to be done," she said.
"I have reminded the board that the business is still work in progress. The balance sheet is still supported by the R1.85bn government guarantee and thus the company needs to wean itself off government support."
Brown said she had raised the issue of workforce transformation with the Denel board as a matter of urgency.
The company needed to make sure it did not have a skills gap brought about by retirements.
Gender equality was also imperative.
"The current status quo of a 78 percent male versus 22 percent female staff complement is a cause for concern," she said.
The board was instructed to report back to her on its progress in these areas by the next annual general meeting. - Sapa

Video footage of a 4-year-old Chinese girl driving a car along a crowded road hits YouTube
Say what? Video footage of a young Chinese girl driving a car along a crowded road has been trending on the Internet.
The young, very small girl is seen holding the wheel with both hands as she navigates her way through traffic in Jinal, Shandong Province, China. Many media outlets are reporting she is believed to be only four years old.
The video, originally posted on YouTube by user wangdazhi712, was filmed by a man believed to be her father -- who seems very calm as he sits in the backseat of a car driven by a toddler.

Interview with Diana Abu-Jaber on "Birds of Paradise"
Diana Abu-Jaber sat down with Helen Raptis to talk about her new novel, Birds of Paradise. At its core, it's the story of a runaway daughter, Felice, and the effect of her absence on her mother, father, and brother. It illuminates the silent crosscurrents of guilt, anger, blame, and grief that can plague a family, and it will resonate with all those who have sought adolescent independence and then yearned to reconnect with their families once they are grown up. Abu-Jaber writes with authority on the hot-button subject of teenage runaways and the impact on the people they leave behind, as she herself left home at fifteen—not to spend her time modeling tattoos, clubbing, and scrounging for food on Miami Beach like Felice, but to gain independence from her strict Jordanian father. This personal connection to the novel will make Abu-Jaber a natural choice for off-the-book-page features.
The subject of teen runaways isn't the only social issue explored in authentic and satisfying ways in Birds of Paradise. Also explored are adolescent cruelty, parental self-absorption, and hidden histories of political violence and tragedy. The food industry spectrum is a major theme: Felice's mother is an elite pastry chef consumed with beauty, her brother is the earnest owner of a trendy food co-op; their separate agendas speak to today's foodie fetishism and the tricky politics of sugar and food production. Felice's father's position as a corporate real estate attorney navigating Miami's boom-and-bust housing market raises questions about financial risk and the effects of gentrification. Finally, the climax of the book during and after Hurricane Katrina reminds us of the potential for generosity and community even among people previously isolated from one another.
The story of a fractured family—and the way in which its members find their way back to one another—has tremendous emotional pull. Featuring Abu-Jaber's signature prose, nuanced characters, startlingly vivid imagery, and all the other elements that fans have loved from her previous work, Birds of Paradise adds crackling dialogue and a rich, suspenseful plot. This new novel should thrill Abu-Jaber's existing fans and win her many, many more.

I would like to test my different stoves with different pots. I have a canister stove, an alcohol stove and a white gas stove. I also have an HE pot, a couple titanium pots and a few aluminum pots. I plan to use ice water to boil 2 cups. Any suggestions on how to record my data or additional thoughts to take into account?
If you want to have meaningful data, you'll have to run all the tests at the same air temperature, with the water starting at a consistent temperature and reaching a consistent temperature. I would suggest going just to 200 degrees on the water temp, since it's easy to read on any thermometer and avoids the subjectivity of just what is boiling and what is not. What i did was make a lid from aluminum flashing with a hole in it that my thermometer fit tight into, so I could leave the thermometer in the pot and hold it up off the bottom of the pot. A rubber band around the shaft of the thermometer ensured that it didn't ever slide down and touch the bottom.Then you'll want to run several tests with each combination of pot and stove so you can average the results. For my tastes, fuel efficiency is way more important than speed, but you can certainly record both for each test if you like. Weighing your fuel is going to give you more useful data than trying to measure volume of fuel. For white gas, what I've done is to weight the fuel bottle with the pump in it before and after each burn. Likewise, with the canister you can weigh the canister before and after. I think I'd just leave the stove attached to the canister if it's an upright, so it's easier. For alcohol I guess you could weigh the stove with fuel in it before and after (I haven't run any tests on alcohol stoves).I've done my testing in a garage with the garage door open - so plenty of ventilation and a concrete floor in case of spills, but out of the wind.I'm looking forward to lots of nice data, please post all you get.
"I plan to use ice water to boil 2 cups."You're really on to something if you can work that out!
> I plan to use ice water to boil 2 cups. Um - patent rights on that process? Royalties?Cheers
Thanks for the help and encouragement. With the alcohol stove I plan to test it with both "Yellow" Heet and Everclear (95%), so I can gauge different fuels. The reason I was planning to test with ice water is cold mountain streams being my typical water source.
How will a full canister compare to a half full canister? Does it lose pressure making it less efficient the more I use it? Will that taint my results?
If you are going to invest the time to do a rigorous comparison, I would invest in a USB temperature logging device. Something like this:http://www.amazon.com/Powered-Thermometer-Temperature-Sensor-Data/dp/B0054U4YKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331819243&sr=8-1or this one:http://pcsensor.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=31Now, a cheap device like this probably won't be calibrated, but it should be fine for comparison purposes. One problem with stove testing is that it gets difficult to watch for "exactly" when the boiling happens. Having a temperature probe is a good way to monitoring things in a quantitative manner.Allow the pot and windscreen to cool between runs. Weigh the fuel you use between runs. Be organized, take notes and pictures, post your results,Cheers
Interesting idea.

December 1, 2015
(AP) - The Browns have agreed to terms with guard John Greco on a five-year contract.
Greco started a career-high 10 games last season for Cleveland, filling in at left guard after Jason Pinkston was hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs. Greco did not miss an offensive snap over his first nine starts.
Browns CEO Joe Banner said one of the team's goals is to "develop and keep our own players" and was glad to reach a deal with Greco.
Coach Rob Chudzinski called Greco "a solid, all-around teammate, on and off the field."
The 6-foot-4, 315-pound Greco was part of an offensive line that helped running back Trent Richardson rush for a franchise rookie record 950 yards last season.
Greco, who is from Youngstown, Ohio, and played at Toledo, was drafted by St. Louis in 2008. The Browns acquired him in a 2011 trade.

There's been a flood of support from local businesses for the city police in the aftermath of Friday's shooting death of Officer John Falcone.
"Businesses and private people have been just coming here in a stream and dropping food off," said Det. Paul Hansen, heading up the receiving end for the police.
"The outpouring from the community and from the restaurants has been incredible," he said. "It's nice that people care."
The list is long and still growing, he said, promising to acknowledge the gifts when time permits.
Falcone's funeral is Thursday.
So much food has been dropped off that Hansen suggested future gifts would be welcomed at the City of Poughkeepsie PBA, the Police Benevolent Association.
A group of local businesses have offered some free dry cleaning to members of the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department.
"We are sincerely sorry for your loss. As a community business, we feel your loss and wish to offer a small token to help out at this sad time," a statement from the group said.
The businesses are Miz Clean, 1 South Ave., City of Poughkeepsie; Mike's Laundromat, 45 Raymond Ave., Town of Poughkeepsie; and Fabri-Care Cleaners, 251 Myers Corners Road, Wappingers Falls.
The offer is open to any uniformed or other staff member of the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department through March 4 and is an offer to clean a suit or uniform, including a shirt and tie.
Brian Hart, a representative of Miz Clean, said it was an effort "to take off the burden from the officers, the uniformed and the civilian staff."
Michael Caballero, owner of Mike's Laundromat, credited Hart for finding a way to "help out with the mourning situation and to do something nice and show our appreciation."
Charles North, president of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, said, "I'm so proud that the business community has stepped up again."

CHICAGO (January 25, 2013)--As far as snow goes, Chicago didn't get much Friday, but as just more than an inch, the snowfall was still one for the record books.
National Weather Service forecaster Matt Friedlein said its the latest first snowfall of at least an inch since record-keeping began in 1884.
Before Friday, Chicago had gone 335 days, or about 11 months, without an inch of snowfall in any calendar day.
The area has received a total of 2.8 inches of snow this winter, 15 ½ inches below normal.
Clara Mark of Chicago Snow Removal Services said it's the first time their plows have been out all winter.

The flathead catfish, which continues to thrive in the region's river systems, offers southwest Georgia anglers a realistic opportunity to catch a very large fish. The average flathead weighs between 5 and 25 pounds, but individuals over 40 pounds are common.
The big cats are plentiful as well, even to the point of being introduced pests in some waterways. Maligned by some anglers for decimating bream and bullhead populations in some locations, the flathead is nevertheless a worthy angling opponent and a true battler on the end of a fishing line. In Southwest Georgia, the species is found in varying stages of abundance in the Flint River, Lake Seminole, and over the past few years have begun showing up with more and more frequency in the Chattahoochee River, most notably in the tailwaters below the George W. Andrews Dam.
Flathead catfish, often called appaloosa or Opelousas cats, have a flattened head with small eyes, are yellowish to brown in color, and do not have sharp spines. They can live as long as 20 years, but most adults in Deep-South populations range from 4 to 10 years old.
"Unlike other catfish species, flatheads are almost exclusively predators and prefer live prey, although they are opportunistic and will scavenge just like other catfish from time to time," said fisheries biologist and avid catfish angler Jerry Bitterman. "Smaller fish up to 3 or 4 pounds can be caught with worms, aquatic insects, crayfish, and minnows. Larger flatheads prefer bigger, livelier baits such as large bream, shiners, goldfish, or suckers. Flathead catfish will eat fish up to one-half their own length, so large baits will not necessarily discourage even the smaller flatheads."
When fishing for flatheads, it is important to fish areas that contain the best flathead habitat. The fish exhibit a strong preference for flowing water and are most often found on the outside bends of a river channel. Areas containing large rocks, rock shelves, and fallen trees or other snags are excellent flathead territories. Holes and depressions in the river bottom will also hold fish.
"Don't limit your fishing to deep water exclusively," Bitterman said. "Actively feeding flatheads will often move into the shallow water at the head or tail end of pools. Like other catfish, they are nocturnal and the best fishing times are evenings, nights, and in the early morning."
There are a number of successful bait rigs that can be used while fishing for flatheads with a rod and reel. Bottom fishing with a bell or egg sinker or drift fishing with a float are two traditional favorites.
For successful bottom fishing, anchor upstream of likely spots such as snags and stumps in deep, flowing water. The size of the hook (3/0 to 7/0) and sinker (1 to 4 ounces) is determined by the size of the bait and the strength of the current. Use enough weight to keep the bait on bottom. This will result in fewer snagged hooks.
"A split shot or swivel can be used to keep the bait at a known distance below the sinker," Bitterman explained. "This distance can be from 3 inches to 2 feet. Faster current requires a shorter distance between the bait and the sinker. Don't be afraid to move the bait every few minutes. This will allow you to cover more area, improving your chances to entice a flathead to take the bait."
Another good bottom-fishing technique for flatheads involves drifting with the current in a river. Drift-fishing anglers "bounce" their baits along the bottom while using a trolling motor to maneuver the boat near snags and other fish-holding underwater structures. Moving with the river will increase your likelihood of finding actively-feeding flatheads.
"The float-fishing method is one of my personal favorites," Bitterman added. "Fishing a float rig enables a fisherman to cover a lot of catfish habitat and can be a very successful technique when bottom fishing is slow. Tie the hook about 12 inches below the swivel and position a 1-ounce to 4-ounce egg sinker (depending on the size of the bait) just above the swivel. Attach a large float 3 to 4 feet above the sinker and drift back and forth over likely flathead-holding structure. Relatively few anglers have picked up on this method, but it can really pay dividends. Many people think flatheads and other cats are exclusive bottom feeders, but they aren't. More often than you might think, they'll go into a free-swimming mode between the bottom and the surface when they're actively feeding. If a bottom bite just isn't happening, try float fishing. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised."
Baitfish, according to Bitterman, should be hooked through the back near the dorsal fin. The vibrations of a bait so impaled will attract hungry flatheads. Allow the float rig to swirl around holes, steep banks, and stumps.
Flatheads are easily caught on single-hook or multiple-hook trotlines, too. Attach them to slightly flexible objects such as tree limbs to prevent larger fish from tearing the hooks loose. Leave lines out overnight and retrieve them the next morning. Checking lines often will result in fewer lost fish. Remove trotlines at the end of your trip and be familiar with state trotline regulations.
Not only are flathead catfish fun to catch, but, table-wise, they may be the best-tasting catfish of all. Even large flatheads are delicious. The meat is similar in texture to other catfish, slightly flaky when cooked, but firmer than bream or bass.
"If you haven't before, go out and meet the flathead this year as the weather warms," Bitterman concluded. "I guarantee you'll have a lot of fun, and you'll definitely enjoy the fruits of your labor at the table."

The more-than-week-long event dedicated the Labor-Day weekend to two nights of roaming through the Soulard neighborhood. With 10 venues participating in the cruise the scenic voyage was more like a cannonball run from concert to concert.
The event consisted of a lineup of 20 bands performing across 10 venues in the Soulard area. Purchasing a $10 wristband granted access to all 10 venues for an entire night. In essence, the Blues Cruise was like being confined to a cruise ship on the Mississippi filled with hours of live performances.
To aid in the simulation of a cruise, shuttle buses were provided to transport concert goers from venue to venue. The shuttles ran about every 15 minutes or so to get attendees across the area in a timely manner so they wouldn't miss out on any action.
Participating venues included: BB's Jazz Blues & Soups, Sonny's, Broadway Oyster Bar, the Great Grizzly Bear, Hammerstone's, the Shanti, Joanie's Pizzeria, Johnny's, 1860's Saloon and Lywelyn's Pub. Many of the venues are clustered together within blocks of each other which made for pockets of block parties scattered across the area. Soulard is located south of downtown St. Louis.
Performances for the opening night of September 2 included the Blue Tones, Bob "Bumble Bee" Kamoske, the Bottoms Up Blues Gang, Jim McClaren, Melissa Neels, Jeremiah Johnson Band, Skeet Rodgers and the Inner City Blues Band, All Roostered Up, Rough Grooves and the Soulard Blues Band. The lineup of performances for September 3 included: David Dee, Rum Drum Mat, Jake Austin and the City Limits, Uncle Albert, Brown Bottle Fever, Patti & the Hitmen, Johnny Fox's Hot Sauce, Steve Pecaro Band and Chris Taylor and the Blues Crushers.
Upon arriving to the 700 block of Broadway, where both BB's and the Broadway Oyster Bar are located, I knew this would be a true blues night on the town. The weather for the night was perfectly hovering around the 70s. The first bar that stood out was the Oyster Bar. The Oyster has an outdoor stage that is exposed to the surrounding streets and allows the sound of entertainment to seep through the partially-built walls. The warming up of the first act could be experienced from the sidewalk. People who didn't purchase a pass lined up along the sidewalk to peek through the steel-barred windows and see what was going on.
My first stop on Saturday night's cruise was BB's Jazz Blues & Soups, one block north of the Oyster Bar. When first entering BB's, the small entrance gave the illusion that it was a small coffeehouse venue, but once inside it opened up into a big blues hall. Although the building is narrow, making for difficult crowd maneuvering, it is vastly deep to compensate for the shot-gun-style room.
The opener (whose name I didn't catch) was a solo artist on the guitar. Using a glass slide on his guitar produced the blues twang that he stomped his foot to to get the audience going. He provided a great opening for the night of cruising.
A shuttle ride away was the Rockin' Jake Band performing at the Grizzly Bear. The four-piece band consisted of a guitarist, bass player, drummer and a lead vocalist who also played the harmonica. The vocalist made it his business to entertain the crowd by reaching out and shaking hands wherever the microphone's cord would allow him to wander. The wailing of his harmonica on the small stage in the corner of the bar reminded me of the nostalgic movie "The Sandlot." The crowd couldn't help but stomp their feet in knee-bending approval.
The next shuttle stop was at Joanie's Pizzeria to see Patti & the Hitmen. Patti and the guys were setup on the patio of Joanie's as a five piece. Both attendees and the waitresses were dancing across the patio along with Patti's flamboyant show-womanship. On the harmonica was Big Daddy, who sported a leather holster packed with 11 harmonicas.
After Joanie's it was back over the Oyster Bar to see Jake Austin and the City Limits. The female lead of the group brought the cruise home with her raspy vocals. Behind the Oyster's stage is a wall-sized mural of life below the surface of the ocean, including fish and other marine life. A giant fan in front of the stage blew her hair and ruffled the clothes of all the band members, making them appear to be floating under water inside the mural.
The most attended venue of the cruise that I witnessed was BB's. By the time David Dee took the stage there was standing room only inside the bar. The crowd filled BB's to watch Dee and his band work the stage with their blues.
Although there were 10 courses of blues offered up for the night it was difficult to make it to all the locations. I estimate the average concertgoer attended about three of the locations, myself having made it to four. People seemed to be having a good time where they were at and didn't do much cruising.
But from time to time the shuttles would have a full load. For those who used the shuttles, the Blues Cruise brought people together who otherwise would only have visited one of the venues. In the end, the Blues Cruise succeeded in taking attendees down into the St. Louis bayou of Soulard.

*Lunch included
$45 per person
Bloom for Girls, LLC is a program created for moms and daughters to begin filling our toolboxes with confidence, self awareness, and gratitude for the gift of womanhood we've been given. The program is intended for middle school girls between the ages of 10 and 14 and their mothers or guardians.
Join Bloom for two dynamic workshops (lunch and yoga included) that will send you forth inspired to embrace your femininity and celebrate the positives of being a woman in today's society. The goal of Bloom is to educate and start conversation about the challenges girls face today created by our digital culture, the mass media, bullying, and body image in a fun, constructive way. Prepare for a day of laughing, bonding, sharing, and learning from one another.
A report commissioned by Saint Mary's College, The Status of Girls in Indiana 2013, indicated that at this age, girls experience feelings of sadness or hopelessness more often than boys.
The Bloom for Girls, LLC programming counteracts these findings by bringing moms or caregivers and daughters together through fun experiences and conversation to find the root of the what makes them great. The ultimate goal of the Bloom experience is to spark conversation on issues affecting our girls, to learn from each other, and to go forth inspired to continue talking to each other and friends and family. Being a girl is an amazing gift, when we know the power we have from within. Let's make the time to spend a purposeful day together that will keep giving to both of you for many years to come.
We need to keep talking.
We need to keep questioning.
We need to embrace the power we have as women.
It is our time.
Let's Bloom!
Friendship and Bullying
Walking Through the Digital World: What is my Footprint?
Love Your Beauty
I am Healthy!
Beginner Yoga Class
All participants can elect to participate in this class that is designed for mother and daughter to focus on balance, breath control, gentle movements and mindful meditation. No experience necessary. Please dress in comfortable clothing.
It has been proven in psychological studies that women are socially pre-wired. We thrive on connectivity and emotional bonding, especially with other women. Yet, we are also our own worst critics and competition. How can we use our gifts to better friends? By engaging in some self analysis of what we bring to the table as a friend through art, discussion, meditation, and role playing, the goal of this workshop is to leave with the self awareness to be a good friend and to know how to seek good friends and keep them.
This program is a fun-filled, educational workshop designed to help mothers and daughters explore together the ways in which the digital world has changed the way we search for our own personal identity. The goal of the workshop is to start healthy, on-going discussions and self-reflection about how the choices we make using today's technology can have an everlasting imprint on how the rest of the world sees us as individuals.
Is beauty really only skin deep? Become a media savvy pro when it comes to how women are portrayed in advertising and the mass media. Let's try to redefine what beauty means to us in regard to ourselves and the women we love and admire in our lives.
This workshop helps moms and daughters explore the idea of being healthy in 2015 and beyond. Through group discussions, breakout sessions and creative activities, we will help all participants recognize their own definition of a healthy body image. How can adult women in our daughter's lives model healthy body habits and positive conversation about our bodies? Can we expand the narrow definition of a 'healthy' body depicted by pop culture and find ways to embrace our natural and unique bodies? Let's start the conversation - "I am Unique. I am Healthy!"

Reviews for Sugar Cookies
Sort By :
"The cookies were great, I'll be making them, Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe."
"Great recipe! I used lemon extract instead of vanilla. Wonderful flavor!!"
"Just made a batch of these for the first time and I LOVE them!!! I think they're a lot like a delicate shortbread cookie. Not for rolling out and using a cookie cutter. I did sprinkle half the cookies with extra sugar for more sweetness and those are more like a sugar cookie taste. I used a tablespoon measuring spoon for a scoop and got about 2 dozen. I will definitely make these again."
"I made these cookies with a GF flour and they turned out great."
"Very disappointed with this recipe! I've been baking for over 40 years. Cookies were not sweet enough and turned out crumbly looking after baking. I made these for a club meeting at school, but I will not bring these cookies. I'll stop by the store in the morning to pick up something to bring to the meeting."

If you're not a fan already, check out some of Beat Takeshi's movies. Hana-Bi is my pick, it's a fucking masterpiece.
This album is great. Good review though.
Album Rating: 3.5I somehow knew that this wouldn't be very good. I like BtBAM and all but I really believe this could have been much, much better. Great review DFelon.
Album Rating: 4.0It's an ok album.
Some good stuff, some bad stuff. It depends whether you like what they are covering in the first place.
^Excuse me?
Well, I've only heard one song and I really hated it. Maybe I need to listen to more?
I wanna hear Us and Them just for kicks.
Hey, DFelon, can I quote you on this part of the review for another review I have going on the Punk Goes 90s Comp? I'll put it italics, quotes, link to this review, and put -DFelon204409 at the end.
This is what I want to use, it's pretty much my thoughts.
[quote=DFelon204409]To be successful at covering a song, a band has to tap into a song that is either inherently great (for example: Shai Hulud's cover of NOFX's "Linoleum"), or can be molded to be great by reinterpreting it using the idiosyncratic qualities of the particular band covering that moldable song (for example: any song covered by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes). Some songs and bands just can't mix like Throwdown and "Baby Got Back." Sure, results can be humorous, but they definitely aren't good. Enter...[/quote]
Album Rating: 2.0Ya man sure. Just cite and link the review too.
Yeah, I thought I said that. Thanks.
Album Rating: 2.0Whoops, I'm a spaz.
all u guys are fags btbam is fukin awsome as is this album so screw ur opinions u pop punk lovin p'sos if u like strait singing ur obviously not gunna like this band and everyone who thought that the blakened cover was horrible y dont u go rate mettalicas "st anger" lol what a joke
u guys are retarted if u like strait singing ur obviously no gunna like these guys so go listen to ur pop punk bullshit
The tracklist for this was dissapointing. I will try to listen to this at a record store or something because I doubt I will have any reason to buy this. BTBAM are one of my favourite bands, but I'm just not interested in hearing 80% of this album.
Album Rating: 2.0[quote=1drummer]u guys are retarted if u like strait singing ur obviously no gunna like these guys so go listen to ur pop punk bull****[/quote]
We'll leave you to your gay singing then.
But seriously, having a brain means we aren't allowed to listen to BTBAM's other CDs?
this cd just ruined btbam
I don't see how this cd could ruin a band? Alaska just came out last year, and I'm sure their going to have another one on the way pretty soon, I don't really see this album as a big deal. Personally, I'm not all that excited for new BTBAM anyway.
What the?? Dillinger doing a cover EP and now BTBAM?
Album Rating: 4.5I don't know about you, but Cemetary Gates actually sounds good after the 5th listen or so. Tommy's vocals carry a certain smoothness to it that gives an old favorite a new spin... certainly like the new solos they throw into it.
The rest of the album is hit and miss.
If u guys like Takeshi i hope uve seen Battle Royale, he doesnt direct it but acts in it. If u havent seen this movie ur fucking urself over.
Album Rating: 2.0I agree with this review completely.
Side note: AV8RS has a lot to learn.

Hot Shots Golf may be known by many names around the world (such as Mina No Golf and Everybody's Golf), but in any language the series has become a byword for humorous and accessible golfing action. The game has appeared on every Sony platform since the original PlayStation, so it was no surprise to see it announced for the PlayStation 3. With the game already being on sale in Japan, we were able to play the finished article ahead of the Tokyo Game Show, as well as talk to the game's developer.
The main thing to talk about is how the shot and putting systems have changed in this latest outing. Instead of being indicated by a bar, the shot power is now displayed with visual indicators on the golf club itself. Once you've chosen your club, the circle button will initiate the shot and your player will begin the swing. At the 50 percent power level, the end of the club will flash yellow, and at 100 percent it will flash red. By judging from these two indicators, you have to press circle again at the desired power level to take the shot. At this point, a target reticle will zoom in on the ball itself, and the idea is to press the circle button again just as it encapsulates it to ensure a straight shot.
We found the new shot system to be intuitive, and we had no trouble getting to grips with it from the very first shot. Thankfully, the special moves have been retained from previous games, allowing you to perform even more accurate shots than usual. You can also manually alter the trajectory of the shot at the last minute by hitting the target reticle at different times. For example, hit the button just before the reticle covers the ball and you'll pull slightly to the right, do it just after and you'll pull to the left.
The putting has also changed for the PS3 version, with a system that displays how far the ball will go at maximum power. Using this system, you have to judge how much to bring the putter back, as well as analysing the lay of the land to account for any changes to the shot trajectory. Again, it's a simple system to get into the swing of (if you pardon the pun), and we were soon finishing a number of holes with satisfying birdies.
Another new feature for the PS3 version is the ability to see a top-down and a display of the follow-up shots toward the hole. For example, you can now see how a different shot trajectory will theoretically impact on your follow-up shots to the hole, and this allowed us to figure out a few shortcuts on the holes we played. Technically, this is one of the most advanced features of the game, as it certainly isn't a graphical showcase for Sony's flagship console. Having said that, the game will support online multiplayer and downloadable content, although no official details have followed for either feature at this time.
The latest Hot Shots Golf looks to be shaping up nicely, and as this stage there's only localisation to be done in order to get the game released in the US and Europe. The last games in the series have gone down well with fans, and we remain hopeful that this one will do the same. We'll have more details on the game once Sony announces more official details post-TGS.

Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Department Receives Recertification
The Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program of the Guerrieri Heart & Vascular Institute at Peninsula Regional Medical Center was recently awarded recertification by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).
"Recertification reflects that our program meets national standards to ensure quality care, consistency in the delivery of services, evidence of tracking clinical outcomes and program operational standards in compliance with AACVPR Program Guidelines, JCAHO and Medicare regulations," said Pamela Caldwell, RN, BSN, Director of the Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. "This is a three-year certification for both programs."
This program was first certified by AACVPR in 1999, with this being the fourth recertification for both programs. Individuals who participate in the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program have had open-heart surgery, have recently been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, have undergone an interventional procedure for coronary disease or are at risk for the development of coronary artery disease.
Additionally, the AACVPR recently recertified the Pulmonary Rehabilitation component of the Medical Center's program. Today, pulmonary rehabilitation is recognized as an integral component of the standard of care for patients with chronic respiratory disease. Unique to Peninsula Regional's Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is the association with the comprehensive Lung Clinic, which begins with an initial consultation, continues with the inpatient program should patients be admitted for surgery, and then transitions to the outpatient setting.
The Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Peninsula Regional was founded in 1986 and is the largest and most comprehensive program in the state of Maryland, providing services to patients at the Medical Center and at a second location in Berlin, Maryland. Over its 26-year history, it has served hundreds of thousands of patients.

International Coastal Cleanup Day is Sept. 25
By MITCH TRAPHAGEN
The 2010 International Coastal Cleanup will be held on Saturday, September 25. South Hillsborough is represented with six locations in Ruskin and Apollo Beach. In all, up to 270 volunteers are needed to spend four hours making a huge difference for the coastal environment.
Jim Grannon is the site captain for one location dedicated to cleanup up the Gulf City/Sand Key area of Tampa Bay, taking over for his wife Sal who had spearheaded that area's effort for the past four years.
"I'd like to get high school students, Scouts and local boaters involved in the event this year," Jim Grannon said. "The past cleanups have yielded prodigious amounts of litter from the waterways — all in a four hour effort — and this year we need more help from the folks in the Ruskin boating community, the people who really enjoy the water, fishing and nature."
The Gulf City/Sand Key meeting location is on Bayview Drive in Ruskin.
The annual International Coastal Cleanup is a global effort in which half a million volunteers join together to make a positive difference for the world's oceans and waterways. Locally the effort is sponsored by Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful, a non-profit organization established in 1992 by residents concerned about the growing problem with litter in the county. The organization is supported by the Hillsborough County Solid Waste Management Department and the Board of County Commissioners, along with other community partners. The organization estimates they have collected hundreds of thousands of pounds of litter and illegally dumped material over the past 18 years.
According to Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful, last year's event in Tampa Bay involved more than 3,000 volunteers cleaning 100 miles of coastline. Through their effort, more than 65,000 pounds of trash was picked up including 15,024 discarded cigarettes, nearly 9,000 glass bottles, thousands of cans and other plastic bottles and, oddly enough, a bowling pin and a backpack filled with coins. There were sober reminders for why the effort was needed: three pelicans found entangled in monofilament line, fish and other animal casualties.
In the Tampa Bay area, the volunteers come from all walks of life; including students gaining community service credits, families, Boy and Girl Scout Troops, businesses, and civic organizations and citizens that just want to spend a few hours making an impact on their communities. In addition to cleaning up the trash, volunteers also collect data that is sent to the Ocean Conservancy where it is used towards more effective efforts at future cleanups and for public education. The overall effort is supported by a wide array of local businesses and civic organizations.
A few years back on Coastal Cleanup day at Bayview Drive in Ruskin, the volunteers took off on foot and in small boats and canoes. They returned with an impressive and eclectic mix of trash cluttering the waterways of the community and threatening the wildlife. The gallons of used motor oil found in carelessly discarded jugs, the tires, the various plastic and metal bits and bobs, and everything else that filled the commercial-sized dumpster only seemed to prove the motto of Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful: "People are the problem. People are the solution." On that Saturday morning, as it will be on September 25, Jim and Sal Grannon, along with their friends and neighbors from around Tampa Bay become the solution.
To volunteer to make a difference in your community, visit khcbonline.org, email email@example.com or call 813-960-5121. Registering in advance will help organizers and site captains to make the most effective plans for the day. Check-in begins at 8 a.m. on September 25 with the clean-up effort running from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Volunteers will receive a free t-shirt or tote bag to commemorate the event. With six locations in South Hillsborough, you can join your neighbors to make a very tangible and positive impact on Tampa Bay and our communities.

Thoro Packaging Moves to 100% Wind Power
Carton manufacturer Thoro Packaging has moved to 100% wind power for all of its manufacturing, enabling Thoro's customers to print "Cartons Produced with 100% Wind Power" on their packaging, Thoro reports in a press release.
Thoro has been a member of the Green Power Leadership Club since 2010. It purchases enough renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset all energy used by its facility, and now those credits are sourced 100% from wind energy, the company reports. "These RECs financially support the development of new renewable electricity production in the form of wind power. Energy diversity is increased, and dependence on foreign energy sources is reduced," Thoro explained in the press release.
"Thoro is committed to not only reducing our impact on the environment and natural resources, but also strives to offer as many options as possible to support our customers' sustainability efforts as well," stated Janet Steiner, President and CEO, in the release.
Thoro's purchase of renewable energy reportedly reduces an estimated 4,199,796 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. Thoro states that such energy is "comparable to taking 364 personal vehicles off U.S. roads for a year."
