Josh Pastner is gambling again -- this time on transfer Michael Dixon
By two different women in two different years.
And I'd be lying if I told you that shouldn't be troubling on some level because it means two different women with no connection to each other have alleged Dixon raped them, and I just don't think that happens to completely innocent men too often. I mean, think about it. How many people do you know who have been falsely accused of rape twice?
The percentage of men who fall under that umbrella is obviously pretty small.
It's why Missouri effectively dismissed Dixon last year.
But he's still super talented -- a hard-nosed guard who can really, really defend. So there was always going to be some college coach somewhere willing to gamble on the former Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, and that coach is Memphis' Josh Pastner, who hosted Dixon on campus Tuesday and accepted his commitment, a source told CBSSports.com.
Dixon will enroll in classes at Memphis on Thursday.
And so what to make of all this?
Truth be told, I likely wouldn't take Dixon because, again, he's been accused of sexual assault twice, and I just don't think that happens to completely innocent guys too often. Beyond that, Pastner already has three senior guards -- Joe Jackson, Chris Crawford and Geron Johnson -- who averaged double-digits in points this season, meaning it's not like there's a huge hole in the backcourt.
So is this a move I would've made?
Again, probably not.
But it's important to note Pastner is a 35-year-old coach entering his fifth season, and he's making $2.65 million per year -- that, by the way, is more than Hall of Famers Roy Williams and Jim Boeheim make -- despite the fact that he's still looking for his first Sweet 16. In other words, Pastner is being paid lots of money to win lots of games, and there's an immense amount of pressure on him to break through, so to speak, as he enters his first season in a tougher league, the American Athletic Conference.
So this is simply Pastner understanding what he's paid to do.
He's paid to win big.
And Dixon will make winning big at Memphis easier than it would've otherwise been next season (provided he receives a waiver from the NCAA to play immediately), which is why he'll be welcomed into the rotation with a firm benefit of the doubt. Speaking of the benefit of the doubt, Pastner probably deserves that, too, considering his players have had zero off-the-court incidents in his first four years, a remarkable feat given the police reports the Tigers stacked in the nine previous years under John Calipari. And it should be noted the other big gamble Pastner has made -- a roll-of-the-dice on Johnson, a player with an actual criminal background who was dismissed from multiple junior-college teams -- has turned out well and provided Pastner with enough equity to make a move like this.
So he's willing to make a move like this.
Consider it something of a risky insurance plan.
What if Jackson or Crawford turns an ankle in March? What if signees Kuran Iverson and/or Pookie Powell -- neither of whom have qualified academically -- aren't on the roster? These are the questions Pastner is almost certainly asking himself, and he's essentially decided he wants to stack his roster in a way where an unpredictable problem here or there won't greatly affect his opportunity to advance deep in the Field of 68 with a team that'll be ranked in the top 15 of the preseason Top 25 (and one).
Now it'll be up to Dixon to make sure Pastner doesn't look foolish.
Now it'll be up to Dixon to keep his past in his past.

This guy explained everything about the situation in Ukraine and his involvement.And besides that he also explained a lot about us Slavs.If this is all true,and I really do believe him,he's a good man.But still,it's stupid to go to war on your own will.
I believe him as well - he spoke from his heart.
I read some place already about Afghans fighting for Eastern Ukraine, this guy just confirmed it.
I think he has his own reason to fight - his father was killed by "american dogs" as he called them. He is there for the "pay-back".
I'm half-slav...
So that means i could join?
Я полу-славян
Значет я могу войти?
Why not? Come in, bro :D
Спасибо :)
НС: Здравей и Добро Дошел ту.
E: Hello and Welcome here.
This is how Slovakia greeted president Poroshenko in Bratislava.
Hehehehehe good job.Soon,the fashist line will be broken.The army of Новороссия is one step closer to victory every day.
I feel sorry for some Ukrainians who are actually good people but still fight for the wrong side (Kiev's side).I hope nothing bad happens to them.I just hope the Nazis will finally go down.
Btw,have you seen that legend Syriza in Greece?The guy totally ****** Merkel and the rest of the "4th Reich" off.Greece finally stood up.
I'm just ashamed of what Serbia is doing.
As for my country,I just keep laughing at it.We ain't going anywhere,neither towards Europe,nor towards Russia.God knows what's happening here.There's about 10 000 (or even more,but I hope not) Mujahideens here.But from those 10 000,7 000 were in ISIS for sure.I'm afraid a new stupid war is coming here...
Yes, many good people in Ukraine are simply decieved and misled by their own media.
They were pretty much telling them that Russia is preparing an invasion of Europe and that they need help from EU and the US to prevent it - this is what two ukrainians from the western regions told me.
I don't know anything about Syriza in Greece. Tell us.
All I know recently about the Blakans is that Serbia is economicaly in bad shape and Slovenia with Croatia isn't that far behind.
Explain us, why do you think that someone may be interested to wage war in the Balkans. Is the situation in the Balkans between the Moslims and Christians that bad in the Balkans?
About Syriza.The guy just won the elections and he's the president of Greece.I think he's from a socialist party.Anyway,the guy already fixed the worst financial problems in Greece,he also wants EU to pay Greece for some debts (I don't know much about this),and he's leading Greece out of EU.
As for Balkans,the situation was always critical.
Not just between Muslims and Christians,but between Christians themselves.I don't know who or when is he planning to start a war here but Balkans are known because of wars that start every 20 years.Now it's about 20 years since the war in Yugoslavia ended,and things are still critical.I was just looking over the internet few days back and I saw that there are about 10 000 radical islamists here from Arabia,Afghanistan,Pakistan,Turkey,Iran etc.Some documents say there are even more,but I sure as Hell hope there are no more than 10 000.And 10 000 is too much already.
Read this when you get some free time.It's an interesting document. Ashevilletribune.com
Here is a fresh article about Al-Qaeda. I know you follow this kind of info since you're closer to Turkey or Syria than us.
According to the article, the al-Qaeda is financed by the Saudi Arabia, supported by some in Israel and we know that they also used to be trained in the US. The circle seems to be complete now.
I just had a quick view of this,but I'll read the whole article in a few days when I get some time off.Looks pretty interesting.
But,I don't know,I just can't believe that Israelis actually sided with jihadi groups in Syria...
I mean,it's just that I like the Israelis and that I know they fight the terrorists and radical groups,so I just can't believe what I just read.Maybe it is true,but I really hope it's not.
I know many people talk bad of Israel,but 2 years ago I stayed in Jerusalem for 2 weeks and the people there seem pretty nice.
Well,it's just the matter of time until we see who's really behind the conflicts in Gaza,Ukraine and Syria. (but I think many of us already know who that might be)
Yes, the regular people are nice almost everywhere, it's their greedy politicians that don't play straight games.
Raven, I follow that news site for quite some time. It belongs to Robert Parry and his team of reporters. R.P. especially does his work right. He has contacts and he always researches the material regarding his story.
He is a professional, not some "theory" writer.
That is correct.The politicians ruin the whole picture of the nation they belong to.Except some rules who got eliminated by the US government.
Well,I'll read the article,then I'll express my opinions about it.
Someone did his homework on that article.
Well, it confirms what we discussed before about the US sticking their nose into places they don't belong. I just can't believe that people are still trusting the US, despite the US having a long list of screw-up since WWII. Unbelievable.
Second, it confirms what I read about the US and Al-Qaeda from 70's. The CIA trained Osama Bin-Laden in the US and then dispatched him into Afghanistan in the late 70's. His mission was to recruit and train new Al-Qaeda leaders and para-military units in order to cripple the south of USSR. That's why the Soviet Army entered Afghanistan in 1980? - they went to put an end to that.
This also makes the picture I posted on my profile valid.
Everyone in the Balkans either hated Tito or everyone simply conveniently forgot what he was telling you all those years. I cannot believe it's so hard for you guys to communicate down there.
Raven, I hope this new generation of Balkan Slavs is less hateful.
That article kind of shows that the Balkans don't seem to be even close to just start talks about any unification.
May Peace be with you, my brother.
I don't know why exactly the Soviets went to Afghanistan but my guess is just that - terrorist activity that represents a big threat to the USSR.And until I saw this video I posted I did not know that the USSR were arming one side of Afghanistan too.I thought only the US were arming the whole of Afghanistan to stop the Soviets.
Bin-Laden was just a puppet,like many of these terrorists.And,sadly,after dozens of versions of his death I can say that I honestly don't believe he's dead.I still think he's hiding somewhere in one of those caves of his.It's Americas' fault he's a terrorist so I just say let them clean up their mess if they can.
Balkans are,like we all know,complicated.Especialy the part where I live.The new generations are weird.Instead of making love and going on,they follow their family's ideologies.But there still is hope.The only problem of these new generations is that they always think about that stupid war.And I don't think it's their fault,but their parents'.
The most important thing is that there are people who are standing for the unification.I sure hope it will happen one day.
May peace be with you too brother!
Correction,my mistake.The guy who won the elections in Greece is Tsipras and he's the premiere of Greece,not the president.
Yes, i just read something about Greece.
They are thinking about exiting the EU. I also read something about Greece sueing the EU and the IMF for manipulating Greece into some kind of bad loans or some like that.
I guess there is more to come out of Greece.
Yep,that's exactly it.
Did you see on the news that Obama and the rest of the EU doesn't like Merkel and Germany a lot anymore?Few days ago,she said that Germany is a "machine that runs whole of EU".
The truth came out,but I don't think people will react how they should react on this statement...

Skip to comments.Notorious B.I.G. to Be Honored at VH1 Show
Posted on 06/29/2005 8:19:56 AM PDT by Mike Bates
Both Big Poppa and Big Daddy Kane will get their props from VH1 this year. The late Notorious B.I.G. also known as Biggie Smalls, also known as Big Poppa and old-school rapper Kane will be feted at the second annual VH1 Hip Hop Honors on Sept. 22 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. The show will air Sept. 26 on VH1.
Other honorees include LL Cool J, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, Ice-T, Salt-N-Pepa and the 1991 film "Boyz n the Hood."
"Our first Hip Hop Honors proved to be an incredible success not only for the channel but also within the hip-hop community. It was a long overdue celebration of the genesis and roots of a genre that has permeated world culture," said the show's executive producer, Lee Rolontz, in a statement Tuesday to The Associated Press.
"This year's honorees run the gamut from MCs to trailblazing duos to an iconic motion picture all of which have had a massive impact on the hip-hop music landscape."
Last year's honorees included the late Tupac Shakur, Public Enemy and rap pioneers Run DMC.
Must see TV for felons and those aspiring to be one.
How exciting.
What time is that on?????? I can't wait to miss it!
like biggie cares anymore .... i wonder how long it will take for someone to say, " Biggie, I know you're up there watching this. This is for you."
Why do you think anybody on freep would give a sh*t about this garbage?? What a freeking blight on the cultural landscape. I am boycotting any company that uses rap in advertizing...
I know you're teasin', you'll have that TiVo cranked up.
That's touching. I think I'll honor him myself by getting a Biggie fries and a Biggie shake at Wendy's.
About 4 seconds after Puff Daddy gets involved.
Been honoring him that way for decades and didn't even realize it.
TiVo...snicker.... Heck darlin, we just got a DVD player a year ago. Don't rush us with that new fangled technology!
Because they want to know what's going on in this culture?
Another year of blatantly disrespecting Vanilla Ice.
No JustICE, No Peace!!!
You're up on me. I just moved from 8-track to cassette.
Anyone want to get a pool going as to when the gunfire erupts?
I wonder if they will have a segment devoted to killing 2Pac?
STOP! Collaborate and listen.
There's songs that I still wait to hear the "click" part way through. The 70's scarred me for life.
I can still, to this day, recite 'Ice Ice Baby' from memory. Yet, I can't remember to pay my bills on time.
yeah, aka dead.
Dog, why you buggin?
The only thing sillier than stories like this is listening to Soledad O'Brien and "pop culture commentator" Toure reporting all the latest 50 ("Fiddy") Cent and The Game news on CNN in the morning. I never can seem to hit the remote control fast enough to avoid the brain cell loss which results from listening to such utter dreck.
Celebrity/rap world news is always good for a big laugh, which is why we enjoy it.
I'm gonna participate in a drive through for them there Biggie fries.
What's not funny about it is that the thugocracy of rap music is ruining its second generation of young black Americans. Frankly, I'd rather have them pay attention to Jesse Jackson than any smart mouthed street criminal in the music world.
what the hell are props???

Blue Devils 72, Lee County 49
The Lady Blue Devils were supposed to be region champions this season.
PORTAL - Every time the Portal Panthers (27-1) got a comfortable lead, Tavis Williams and his 27 points put Seminole County right back in it. But PHS was able to control Williams in the second half as they knocked off the Indians 75-66 to advance to the Sweet 16 of the GHSA Class A state playoffs.
The Screven County Lady Gamecocks grabbed the No. 3 seed of the GHSA Class AA state playoffs after knocking off Jefferson County in the Region 3-AA playoffs, and look to carry that momentum against No. 2 seed Mitchell County on the road tonight.
Georgia Southern's season-opening baseball game with Boston College was rained out on Friday night.
Eric Ferguson says he wasn't, 'in the zone'. He didn't feel 'unconscious'. He doesn't really think there was anything extraordinary about putting 47 points up in a region championship game to lead Statesboro to its first title since 2004.
The Southeast Bulloch boys soccer team traveled to Dublin Thursday night to take on the East Laurens Falcons in winter monsoon conditions.
The Southern Ruggers of Statesboro will hold a six-team tournament starting Saturday at Mill Creek Park.
PORTAL - Seminole County may be a No. 4 seed heading into the GHSA Class A State Playoffs, but the Portal Panthers know better than to take them lightly.
COCHRAN - Three Bulloch Academy players scored in double figures to lead the Gators to a 71-42 blowout of Monroe Academy in the opening round of the GISA Class AA boys' basketball tournament at Middle Georgia College Thursday.
COCHRAN - Piedmont Academy used a tight 2-3 zone to keep the Bulloch Academy inside scoring game at bay and Lady Cougar point guard Carrie Tucker hit 10-of-13 foul shots to lead Piedmont to a 39-29 victory in the opening girls' round of the GISA Class AA state basketball tournament Wednesday at Middle Georgia College.
On the verge of the first-ever Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Championships, the Georgia Southern swimming & diving team is focused and determined to make a run at the conference title.
Boys: Farris fuels PHS to 3-A title
Twenty-nine points, four 3s and one helluva ball game by Georgia Southern's Louis Graham gave me another correct prediction on Thursday night in Sparty-burg, Carolina.
TWIN CITY - The Portal Panthers showed the rest of Region 3-A exactly why they were the No. 1 seed going into the tournament, exploding for 41 points in the second half and cruising to a 65-49 win over the Emanuel County Institute Bulldogs in the region championship game Saturday.
CLEVELAND - LeBron James scored 34 points in three quarters, Kyrie Irving added 35 and the Cleveland Cavaliers clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference ...

Katrina & Beyond
Zulu Krewe Loves a Parade
New Orleans Diary
The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club is the oldest mostly-black krewe in New Orleans' Mardi Gras parade. They're at the head of the procession this year amid recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
Coming back wasn't a completely controversy-free decision. Many members lost homes and incomes, but Keith Doley, a second generation Zulu who lost his home, said the membership made the right decision, for this year and for history.
"It was very important," Doley says. "Zulu starts Mardi Gras morning. We set the tempo."

Small Businesses Embrace Technology Even More In 2013, According To PaySimple Pulse Survey
DENVER, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PaySimple, the cloud-based platform for managing and growing small businesses, announced the findings in its 2013 Pulse Survey of Small Businesses today. Thousands of PaySimple users surveyed articulated a plan to adopt more technology solutions, particularly for the operational functions of their firms, including back office, billing, and accounting.

Jeff Demps to focus on track, Olympics
Updated: January 12, 2012, 4:00 PM ETAssociated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida running back Jeff Demps is giving up his football career to focus on track and the 2012 Olympics.
Demps wants to vie for a spot on the U.S. track and field team. So he won't attend any college football all-star games or take part in any NFL draft workouts.
"I can have the mindset of a full-time track guy now," Demps said.
The senior started training with Florida's track team this week and hopes to return to competition at the Virginia Tech Elite ...

Twinkle twinkle falling star
Oh, I wonder if you are
He who called with steady voice
Offering me one simple choice
Shall I stay or better leave?
Contemplatively I breathe
Now to bed I close my eyes
Think of you across the skies
I forgive you, now you know
My chosen path is that I go
One breath. Two breath. Three breath. Four
Eternal sleep, forevermore
Twinkle twinkle trusted friend
Take me there, to where it ends
Shining down your soft, white light
It calms me now and dulls my fright
Down below in bed I lie
With comforted heart I say goodbye

This is for the #Live-Love-Write writing prompt. I really tried to keep this one upbeat but it took a crazy left turn. the prompt is Write anything that features one or more of the following:
- a falling star
- a life-changing choice
- a mysterious phone call
- the phrase "I forgive you"
I tried to use everything in the prompt as always.

Update: A daily deviation whaaaaat!?!? I'm so excited! I've never had so many comments on one of my poems. Thanks everyone!
Daily DeviationGiven 2014-02-18
Lullaby Bye by gadsdy A lovely rhythm matched with a tender message. ( Featured by inknalcohol )
You absolute amazing person!! I found a bit of this somewhere online and I couldn't find the full thing. I searched everything and realised it was on here!! I fell in love with it straight away and needed to make an account ASAP. Basically my Granny passed away recently and this song sort of reminded me off her. I was thinking of making a short song where I'll play the piano and my friend will sing. Are you okay if I do that? I'd make sure to say it isn't mine of course!!! Again thanks for being such a talented writer xox
How about a distant embrace?
Oh gosh. I was attracted to the title and what the preview showed "Hey this sounds like a nursery rhyme!" and clicked on it.
It's soo much better than what I was expecting. I didn't know this was even a DD but after I read it, now I know.
Beautiful poem~
most beautiful song/poem ever
Oh my gosh!!! This is absolutely gorgeous! Its no wonder you got a daily deviation ~! Very well done!
This is....I just can't even put in words how great this is
Wow, it's a really beautiful poem.
Wow....That was some strong stuff!
(Congrats on the DD!)
This is beautiful... And deserving of a DD!
Such a lovely poem!
Very beautiful x
Wow! This is a great play on Twinkle Twinkle! Congrats on the DD! It is well deserved!
it also a twist
Aw I really like that song
Fantastic Poem. Some of the words feel slightly out of place in my opinion ( like contemplatively or comforted), but that might be just me.
But either way, this is absolutely amazing. For such a short poem, so much is portrayed.
This is really pretty!! QOQ
Now that's quite the twist on the classic lullaby.
I'm trying to sing it but "comforted" on the last line throws it off. I try to find another word synonymous to it, but that only pisses me off more -_-
Still, beautiful poem.
You did a good job by keeping the words simple and syllables short. Each line speaks for itself, not too overpowering, and brilliantly balanced rhyme scheme. Loved it. Can't figure out why, but reminds of Carnival of rust. Strange, ain't it?
I like it. Well written!

Why Managers Can't Increase Productivity -- And What You Can Do
Terri Levine, MCC, PCC, MS, CCC-SLP
CEOs are in the hot seat. According to a report in the Financial Times, the recent trend for average length of stay in the CEO position is just three years, with some being given "the boot" after just 18 months and one after just 12 weeks. This is less than what it was some 15 years ago.

Comments about Home Styles Monarch China Cabinet - White & Oak:
I order this buffet and cabinet, it ships in 4 large boxes. The buffet is sold on it's own but you can only find the top cabinet sold with the buffet. I wish it was sold separately because I would have returned the top after all the grief we went through to assemble it.
The bottom went together *fairly* easily, it takes two people and it is not a quick process. Plan on a few hours as the instructions are not always easy to understand, and in some cases they are actually incorrect. Assembly is not for the faint of heart or for a quarreling couple, you may end up separated at the end of this process.
The top piece is where I lost my desire to ever buy another piece of self-assembled furniture ever again. My husband of little patience wanted to smash it to bits and return it.
I had two defective parts, fortunately the first piece to assemble was one of the problems. Unfortunately, we had unwrapped all of the parts and had them spread out all over our kitchen, along with the huge refrigerator sized box it came in. Now we had to repack everything to wait for replacement part - only one part was shipped even though I had damage to a shelf, I was told they wouldn't replace it because you wouldn't see it once assembled. Whatever, but that's pretty bad customer service!! Save yourself some time and DO NOT fill out the form online for replacements, CALL THEM. You'll waste a day getting it shipped and answering questions.
Fast forward one week, parts have arrived. unpack everything for the second time only to find out the replacement part has the correct part ID label on it, BUT IT IS MISLABELED AND IS THE WRONG PART! Repack all the junky product back in the box and get on the phone to get the right one.
Fast forward ANOTHER WEEK, finally get past Step ONE with the correct part. Get it almost fully assembled only to find the part they didn't agree to replace is defective! the holes are drilled in the wrong places for the cam locks. No fixing or hacking your way around this! I am now livid that this ginormous thing is partially assembled in the middle of my kitchen so there is no way to pack it all back up in the box. I 1000% would have sent this back if I could have.
I realize buying this kind of furniture is going to result in a less than wonderful, high quality piece but come on! How hard is it to drill holes in the right place? Where is your quality inspection? Do you have any? If you do, you need to fire them and retrain some new monkeys. The ones you have don't do a very good job.

Mandriva CEO Refutes Acquisition Rumor
Arnaud Laprévote clears the air on the official Mandriva blog.
Mandriva S.A. CEO Arnaud Laprévote responded to rumors that the Linux distro had been sold, stressing that the company behind the Linux distro had not been sold.
In a blog post titled, "About Mandriva's Current Situation" Laprévote cited that while the company is in takeover talks with several investors, the talks themselves are nothing new and have been going on for quite some time. Laprévote cited Mandriva's acquisitions of Edge-IT, Conectiva and Linbox FAS as examples of the company's ingenuity during slow economic times.
These acquisitions in combination with improvements to their core product were responsible for the heightened investor interest.
Laprévote ended his post by saying, "We are beginning to harvest the results of this development work with hundreds of thousands of PCs using the Mandriva OS sold in South America, Asia and rapid sales of Pulse2 and MES5 in Europe."
With that in mind, it doesn't look like investor speculation will end any time soon.

Re: New and need some help
Hi, thanks you again, I am not sure if its good to reply msg by msg or all at once ! anyway
Yes, Amex gold is the only card in my report, I never had cards before, never had car loan or any kind of loans or mortgage.
I know I need more cc, but trying to get the best for my needs, low interst, no anual fees, something like that
I like the idea of applying to Amex Blue, but how should I do it,
should I wait few month until the EQ record drops ? or do it now ?
also should I apply for all the cards I need one time, or one by one
I can bring my util to 0% within few days, because I pay the charges eveymonth anyway, should I do that, and wait until Amex soft pull and apply ?
I took longtime to be here, as more than 6 years ago, I always got rejected for cc, and did not know why, after long long crazy fight I found that the cc berue was reporting my brother bad records to my report ! including an bankrubcy, by the time I fixed that, my account already had alot of cc inqu. and I gave up getting any cc
now after longtime on 665 score, the last and the only bad medical record is dropped and my score gone high, so hope I can do it right this time,
I don't shop at walmart a lot, maybe 1 or 2 times a month, most of my money goes to designer closthing and resturants
if Amex refuse me for blue, I think the applied 3 years ago to get blue and they did not approve it, now can I talk to them ? or waste of time ?
Thank you

Such an easy little appetiser...and so delicious too!
I used Louisiana Hot Sauce ( all I had)...and although it was on the fiery side, we enjoyed it..I did, however, have to warn others...and those I didn't get to in time....well, it was fun to see their reactions!!
Like other reviewers...I too found it a little salty...possibly due to the doritos ( I used the 'Burn' variety, my kids love them!), and the fact that the blue cheese I used was full on, and quite salty too....I definitely wouldn't add any extra salt to this!
Nevertheless...these went down well at the party that I took them to..even being complimented by an American couple there...who I noticed kept going back for more!!
Thanks Shelby Jo...I'll be doing this again!
Made for PRMR.
Very easy and very good! I didn't do the individual chips b/c I had to feed a huge crowd but this combo worked great for a big platter of nachos. I also used unsalted butter, like TeresaS, to cut down on the possible saltiness and loaded up on the hot sauce (I like it spicy). The blue cheese-sour cream dressing was a big hit with my nacho noshers. I bought a block of blue cheese (rather than the store bought dressing) and mixed it with the sour cream. Very good. I used the leftover chicken and sour cream sauce the next day on a baked potato.
This are darn good. I made as posted with the sour cream and blue cheese. The only problem I found was that it was on the salty side and I only used a dash of salt and pepper. I would suggest that you use unsalted butter. I didn't. I'm pretty sure the scoops have a lot of salt in them because I used them in another recipe it was also really salty. Just a heads up. We found the heat perfect for our taste buds. But we do like it hot. Thanks for posting. :)

Most of what has been written about Buber and education tend to be studies of two kinds: theoretical studies of his philosophical views on education, and specific case studies that aim at putting theory into practice. The perspective taken has always been to hold a dialogue with Buber's works in order to identify and analyse critically Buber's views and, in some cases, to put them into practice; that is, commentators dialogue with the text. In this article our aims are of a different kind. First and fundamentally, we demonstrate the political and social ontological basis of Buber's thought; that is, we show that Buber, the philosopher of dialogue, held an authentic dialogue with his time, and demonstrate that Buber's work, in this case I and Thou, holds a dialogue with its Zeitgeist; that is the text dialogues with its Zeitgeist. This approach leads us to our second aim, which is to demonstrate that Buber's thought remains relevant to our times, particularly when it serves as a dialogical educational tool with which to resolve conflict of all types and to aid dialogue towards peace in inter-community relations.

Michael Crabtree, Earl Thomas wearing custom Jordan Brand cleats
On Saturday and Sunday, a pair of Jordan Brand athletes -- Michael Crabtree and Earl Thomas, respectively -- will stand out in a shiny way with their cleats.
Crabtree, the 49ers wideout, and Thomas, the Seahawks safety, are sporting customized retro Air Jordan VI cleats.
Crabtree's cleats have a "solid metallic gold with gym red cleats on the bottom" and white/black tops with a No. 15 on the back.
Thomas' retro cleats have a neon green cleat plate on the bottom with isolated navy cleats.
When the Seahawks play the Saints Saturday, Thomas will be sporting a more mid-size cleat, which you can see from the side angle:
Crabtree's cleats, on the other hand, are lower cut than the traditional football cleats.
Both cleats, which you can check out over the weekend games, will be available for sale by Nike at some point this summer.

Mistakes are the inevitable accompaniment of the greatest gift given to man, - individual freedom of action. Let us be glad of the dignity of our privilege to make mistakes, glad of the wisdom that enables us to recognize them, glad of the power that permits us to turn their light as a glowing illumination along the pathway of our future. Mistakes are the growing pains of wisdom. Without them there would be no individual growth, no progress, no conquest.

Life is simply time given to man to learn how to live. Mistakes are always part of learning. The real dignity of life consists in cultivating a fine attitude towards our own mistakes and those of others. It is the fine tolerance of a fine soul. Man becomes great, not through never making mistakes, but by profiting by those he does make; by being satisfied with a single rendition of a mistake, not encoring it into a continuous performance; by getting from it the honey of new, regenerating inspiration with no irritating sting of morbid regret; by building better to-day because of his poor yesterday; and by rising with renewed strength, finer purpose and freshened courage every time he falls.
Source: The Power of Purpose, pp. 22-23.
Let us seek to reign nobly on the throne of our highest self for just a single day, filling every moment of every hour with our finest, unselfish best. Then there would come to us such a vision of the golden glory of the sunlit heights, such a glad, glowing tonic of the higher levels of life, that we could never dwell again in the darkened valley of ordinary living without feeling shut in, stifled, and hungry for the freer air and the broader outlook.

Ingratitude is a crime more despicable than revenge, which is only returning evil for evil, while ingratitude returns evil for good.

Much of the seeming ingratitude in life comes from our magnifying of our own acts, our minifying of the acts of others.

Profuse expressions of gratitude do not cancel an indebtedness any more than a promissory note settles an account. It is a beginning, not a finality. Gratitude that is extravagant in words is usually economical in all other expression.

The man who says he will lead a newer and better life tomorrow, who promises great things for the future, and yet does nothing in the present to make that future possible, is living in an air-castle.

The supreme courage of life is the courage of the soul. It is living, day by day, sincerely, steadfastly, serenely,-despite all opinions, all obstacles, all opposition. It means the wine of inspiration from the crushed grapes of our sorrows. This courage makes the simplest life, great; it makes the greatest life-sublime. It means the royal dignity of fine individual living.

Iowa, Already
Should Ted Cruz start running for president? Iowa's social conservatives demand it.
AMES, Iowa—It's like the landscapers are mocking us. On Saturday morning, a substantial rump of the political press corps has flown into Des Moines and driven the 30 minutes up to Iowa State University. The FAMiLY Leader, a coalition of social conservatives, has booked a concert hall for an all-day schedule of speeches and prayers, adjacent to the site where the Iowa Republican Party usually holds its for-profit straw poll. The lawn that's usually auctioned off to presidential candidates and occupied by gaudy tents and food trucks is being resodded. Of course it is—there are two years until the next straw poll.
And yet inside the concert hall, it's already primary season. Rick Santorum, who's been in the state for two days and already hit a party fundraiser and the state fair, fields questions from a dozen reporters who want him to commit to 2016. One asks him if he caught "lightning in a bottle" last time when he narrowly won the nonbinding precinct caucuses, and whether he now needs a new strategy and larger staff. "Three hundred and eighty town hall visits and 99 counties last time," says Santorum, holding back an eye-roll. "I don't know if that's catching lightning in a bottle."
A few steps away, Iowa Rep. Steve King walks through hypotheticals about the next Republican field. Does Rand Paul have the advantage? Should candidates be here already?
"It's always important to be here early," says King.
Jonathan Martin, the roving New York Times reporter, sets the time machine even further in the future—summer 2016, when the party will hold its convention. "Is it important that the next winner of the caucus be the nominee?" he asks.
"It's still relatively early in the process," says King. "What we do in Iowa is, we punch one, two, or maybe three tickets to New Hampshire."
The focus on the 2016 presidential contest is completely ridiculous, and everybody knows it. After he followed Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul to a Des Moines summit of pastors in July, Yahoo News reporter Chris Moody joked that "running into other reporters in Iowa for presidential coverage in 2013 is like locking eyes with a church friend at a strip club."
But this isn't any earlier than usual, and it's not really the media's fault this time. The way social conservative see it, they've blown two consecutive primaries to a moderate candidate—one who's gone on to lose the presidency. Iowa's supposed to be the Thunderdome that boosts one of their own. In 2012, a majority (57 percent) of caucus-goers were evangelical Christians and a plurality (47 percent) considered themselves "very conservative." They split their votes and gave the narrowest of mandates to Rick Santorum, and that was two weeks after the FAMiLY Leader endorsed him. What could have happened had the rest of the movement been quicker on the draw. Could they have avoided the distractions of Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich?
They want to find out. That's what's driving the presidential talk around Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who arrived in his first elective office this past January. Jamie Johnson, who'd been Rick Santorum's coalitions director in Iowa, tells me that Barack Obama "changed the game" in 2008 and proved that someone with just a little time in D.C. could win. "He was in for one year and he was already laying the groundwork." This is why he's switched from Santorum to Cruz, who doesn't have "10 years of votes to apologize for."
"Before, there was never a mixture of the limited government, fire-breathing prophet with a Christian conservative, moral-based guy," says Johnson. "When the conservative base of the Republican Party has a David, to use a biblical analogy—when they have their David, it's obvious who their David is—it doesn't matter where the money is. Ted Cruz is the only guy who fits that bill. He's the only one who can speak to the religious right, to the economic conservatives."
The implication, although Johnson is being genteel about it, is that Santorum can't. Santorum gets 20 minutes to address the 1,000-odd conservatives in Ames, who fill about half a room that recently saw tours from Bill Cosby and Shrek: The Musical. Santorum spends the time on dark lessons, with personal anecdotes, of how his movement keeps blowing it. He mourns how the 2012 Republican National Convention obsessed over Barack Obama's "you didn't build that" gaffe by giving floor time only to aggrieved business-owners.
"Not one time did we see someone from the factory floor walk out there and talk about working for the man or woman who built that business, and talk about how that helped them," he says. "Not everybody in America is a type-A personality who's going to spend 80 hours a week building their business." Telling this alternate history lets Santorum's audience imagine how somebody else—not naming names!—might have run in 2012.

Why, in the Internet Age, did the Pentagon try to scrub Robert Bales from the Internet in the first place?
WASHINGTON — Besides waiting nearly a week before identifying the Joint Base Lewis-McChord staff sergeant suspected of killing 16 Afghan villagers, the U.S. military scrubbed its websites of references to his combat service.
Gone were photographs of the suspect, Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, and a recounting in the base newspaper of a 2007 battle in Iraq involving his unit, a report that quoted him extensively.
But they weren't really gone.
Given the myriad ways information remains accessible on the Internet, despite the best efforts to remove it, the material about Bales was still there and available, in cached versions of Web pages. Within minutes of the Pentagon leaking his name Friday evening, news organizations and others found and published his pictures, the account of the battle — which depicts Bales and other soldiers in a glowing light — and excerpts from his wife's blog.

Most Read Stories
So why did the Pentagon try to scrub Bales from the Internet in the first place?
The military said its intention in removing the material wasn't to lessen the Army's embarrassment over the attack but to protect the privacy of Bales' family.
"Protecting a military family has to be a priority," said a military official, who like several interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity.
"I think the feeding frenzy we saw after his name was released was evidence that we were right to try. … Of course the pages are cached; we know that. But we owe it to the wife and kids to do what we can."
A second Pentagon official acknowledged that one of the reasons for the delay in releasing Bales' name was to remove references to his Army service from the Internet. But when Army Maj. Nidal Hasan was arrested in the deadly shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, the Pentagon released his name immediately.
Several former military officers said they were perplexed that the Army would try to remove information that already had been public. One called it "unusual."
Experts agreed the effort was futile.
"Once a site has been accessed enough times, it's very, very difficult to remove content," said Dan Auerbach, a staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit group that supports Internet access. "I don't want to say it's impossible, but there's no evidence of it happening in recent times."
Another likely concern of the military was that criminal charges against Bales are expected soon, and the case could last a long time. He's at the Army's maximum-security prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
"The military actually does a very good job of protecting defendants' rights," said Allan Millett, a military historian at the University of New Orleans and a retired colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve. "I suspect it was simply a matter of not prejudicing either public opinion or anyone who might be involved in the case. I'm sure they're leaning over backward."
Bales, 38, is a veteran of multiple combat tours: three to Iraq and one, his most recent, to Afghanistan. He is the father of two children: a daughter, Quincy, 5, and a son, Bobby, 3. Before his name became public, the Army moved the Bales family from its Lake Tapps home to the security of Lewis-McChord.
The massacre occurred early March 11. Bales allegedly left his base in southern Afghanistan, walked to two nearby villages and killed 16 residents, nine of them children.
He then returned to his base, the military says, where he was arrested. The military didn't disclose his identity until five days later.
A motive for the killings isn't known. But Bales' history of repeated combat tours, including a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury, has become a subject of speculation.
"Why didn't they spot this guy as a risk?" said Millett, the military historian.
Steven Aftergood, a government-transparency advocate, said secrecy was an "instinctive response" of the military and government in general, usually to try to avoid controversy or to thwart the news media.
Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists, said that in the Bales case, "there are competing interests at stake. But if nothing else, the defendant deserves a fair trial."
Parts of a blog that Karilyn Bales, the suspect's wife, has been writing for several years also appear to have been deleted since the killings. It's unclear how that occurred. Her blog, in which she discussed her husband's disappointment at being passed over for a promotion, among other topics, previously was available to anyone but now is password-protected.
McClatchy Newspapers correspondent Nancy A. Youssef contributed to this report. Material from The Associated Press is included.


text: Back in 1954, cinema snobs sneered when suspense master Alfred Hitchcock stooped to using 3D to tell the story of a husband (Ray Milland) plotting the murder of his wife (Grace Kelly). The 3D backlash forced Hitchcock to let the movie go out in 2D. Only in the 1980s did audience get to see the artful 3D mischief Hitchcock was up to. Revel in the fun, especially in the scene with Princess Grace and the scissors. You've been warned.

Comments about Rapco Horizon 1M-2F Guitar Y Cable:
I bought this to split my guitar signal into 2 to use two different amplifiers. It works but I notice some static when I turn up my volume nobs on guitar and when I touch the female connectors, not wise to use with good quality equipment.
