Giveaway Day: We Have a Winner!
At any rate, McLurky thought there was a clear winner, and I couldn't agree with him more. So congratulations ....
Carin (diplofam)!
Carin didn't just comment, she actually wrote a song! Check it out:
"Baby's Got Backing" or "I Like Big Quilts"
Sung to the tune of "Baby's Got Back" ("I Like Big Butts") by Sir Mix-A-Lot
Lyrics by Carin Vogelzang
I like big quilts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with a brightly pieced top
and some 1/8ths she wants to swap
You get sprung, wanna pull out your stash
cause you know this stuff ain't trash
And then you see her binding
You wonder where she's finding
Oh, Baby I wanna get a charm pack
or do some stack and whack
My blog peeps tried to warn me
but that quilt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, and that fussy cutting
that is really something
Well, choose me, choose me
to be your blogging groupie
I've seen your HST's
and online quilting bees
Her seams are first class
as is her bias
I'm tired of the magazines
saying modern quilts are the thing
Take the average quilter's man
and ask him that
She gotta pack a nice backing
So fellas (Yeah!) fellas (Yeah!)
Has your wifey got the batting (Heck Yeah!)
Tell em to quilt it (quilt it!) quilt it (quilt it!)
Show that crazy quilt
Baby got backing!
Baby got backing!
McLurky has this to say about Carin's entry: "Anyone who can successfully combine Sir Mix-A-Lot and quilting surely deserves a prize of some sort. Also, it was dirty enough for me." High praise indeed. : ) I have this to say about Carin's entry: Brilliant! Hilarious! So deserving of the AMH fat quarters! Thank you for the laughs, Carin!
And FYI, when she's not writing quilting-related parodies of '90s rap songs, Carin runs the amazing charity Margaret's Hope Chest. They have a wonderful project called Wrapped In Hope, which provides birthday quilts to children of prisoners.
Carin has a long list of kids in need, and you can sign up to make a quilt for a specific child in 2011. In fact, I just signed up for one myself, and already have a vision of what I'm going to make for 12-year-old Alissa. What a great way to use our talents to make some deserving kids feel special. Click here to sign up to make a quilt yourself.
But back to my giveaway: There were many comments that made the hubs and I laugh, so I have to point out a few honorable mentions as well. No, you guys don't get a prize, just ... notoriety?
PDX Bride said: "I love those small squares you are cutting, are those pasties?"
Melissa's husband thought fat quarters were called "fatty quarts," and Hillbilly Handiwork's husband went into a quilt store and asked for the "Pop Tart" that they had on hold for her, instead of a turnover. Gotta love these guys, right?
Thanks to Madhatcher's comment, I don't think I'll ever look at a mug rug the same way again. : )
And finally, mabblab suggested that when I'm having a bad day, the hubs should get me a bundle of fat quarters instead of roses. I am fully on board with that plan ... McLurks, are you listening?
Thank you all for entering, and for making Giveaway Day tremendously fun! I wish I could reply personally to all of you! But you know, bad time of year and all. Carin, an email is on its way to you.

Okay, seriously? This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time:
"Her seams are first class
as is her bias"
I will now be referring to bias binding as bi-ASS oh yes I will.

Humane Society International
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Humane Society International
- Submission Document: Not available
General Contenta) What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? Globally, approximately 67 billion land animals are raised for food each year, and an even larger number of aquatic animals are killed for food. The Rio+20 Summit provides an opportunity to acknowledge and improve the welfare of those animals, and set the global community on a course towards more humane, equitable, and sustainable food production systems. The outcome document must confirm the importance of animal welfare, and call for the consideration of farm animal welfare in all agricultural programs and policies. Specifically, the use of barren battery cages to house egg laying hens, gestation crates (sow stalls) to confine pregnant pigs, and veal crates for infant dairy calves must be strongly discouraged.
b) What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? N/A
c) What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.); Closing the implementation gap in agriculture, particularly as it relates to farm animal production, requires (1) recognition of the negative impacts of industrialized farm animal production and (2) redirecting agricultural investments to reflect societal values relating to environmental sustainability, high levels of animal welfare, and support for small farmers. Currently, however, and despite the failure of industrial animal agriculture to promote and sustain food security, governments in developed and developing countries, continue to help spread industrial farm animal production throughout the developing world. Policies and investments should be consistent across institutions and should not undercut each other. HSI believes international development and Finance institutions, in particular, are key to ensuring humane and sustainable agricultural systems, and must immediately end their support of animal agribusiness, and instead develop innovative ways of financing small-scale farmers in the developing world practicing environmentally sustainable, and animal-welfare friendly, agriculture. Further, given the current and rising threats of food insecurity and climate change, there should be a framework for rapidly redirecting funding and policies towards this more sustainable and humane agricultural landscape. Billions of people and animals around the world depend on it.
Humane Society International is the international arm of The Humane Society of the United States, one of the world's largest animal protection organizations ? backed by 11 million people. HSI is creating a better future for animals and people through advocacy, education, and hands-on programs. Celebrating animals and confronting cruelty worldwide ? On the Web at hsi.org.
d) What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actions to be implemented? N/A
Specific Elementsa) Objective of the Conference: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges. Contributions could include possible sectoral priorities (e.g., (e.g., energy, food security and sustainable agriculture, technology transfer, water, oceans, sustainable urbanization, sustainable consumption and production, natural disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation, biodiversity, etc.) and sectoral initiatives that contribute to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development could be launched and endorsed at Rio+20. N/A
b) Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication: views regarding how green economy can be a means to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions, and poverty eradication; what is its potential added value; experience to date, including what has worked and how to build upon success, what are the challenges and opportunities and how to address the challenges and seize opportunities, and possible elements of an agreement in outcome document on a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication N/A
c) Institutional framework for sustainable development: Priorities and proposals for strengthening individual pillars of sustainable development, as well as those for strengthening integration of the three pillars, at multiple levels; local, national, regional and international. N/A
d) Any proposals for refinement of the two themes. Recall that Resolution 64/236 describes the focus of the Conference: "The focus of the Conference will include the following themes to be discussed and refined during the preparatory process: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development".

Custom Hoods, Custom Trunks
Aftermarket hoods help make a car look newer. Just this one replacement can make a big difference in a car's appearance, mainly because it's such a large component in and of itself. You can replace a hood with one that's an exact copy of the vehicle's stock hood, or you can select a customized hood that falls in line with a new design you had in mind for your car. Either way, you'll end up with a car that's better looking, with an engine that's better protected from anything that might damage it
Carbon Fiber Trunks are located at the back of most trucks, SUVs, and cars, and act as the main storage spaces for these vehicles. For truck owners, the trunk is mostly an open bed that is left uncovered. For drivers of cars and SUVs, however, the trunk is often a distinct space reserved for the transportation of luggage, groceries, and all kinds of other odds and ends.
Though you can't replace the trunk space itself, you can replace the rear trunk hatch that keep that keeps the trunk space enclosed. Also often known as a hatch, this piece is as replaceable as the front hood is, though it is replaced far less commonly. If your car got rear-ended, or even if it's just bruised up a bit to the point where paint alone can't make a difference, you may want to replace that trunk hatch or hood with an aftermarket version that looks cleaner and newer to help maintain the value of your vehicle.

|Progress. Persistence. Paydirt.
The Idaho women's basketball team didn't look like an NCAA-tournament-caliber team in November. It looked more like the group of inexperienced youngsters that it was. Those Vandals -- who used four different starting lineups in seven games, went 1-6 and started a combined total of 23 freshmen and sophomores in the month of November -- were struggling to find their identity. Or maybe they were learning to find their identity.
Coach Jon Newlee put his fifth different starting lineup on the floor to start December with a road swing at UC Irvine and UC Riverside, and the Vandals found some swagger. Idaho dominated both Big West schools, winning by 18 points at Irvine and 14 at Riverside. All of the sudden Idaho had won three of its last five games and was beginning to bounce back from its 0-4 start to the season. But Idaho was heading into the toughest three-game swing of the season, visiting Washington and Gonzaga before hosting eventual regular-season Western Athletic Conference champion Seattle U, and the Vandals weren't quite ready for the challenge. The team fell by 14 at Washington before being blown out at Gonzaga. Idaho had its best shooting night of the season in the WAC-opener against Seattle U, but it was all undone by a season-high 31 turnovers in a 76-71 loss. With a 3-9 record entering January, the Vandals felt they were underachieving, and had yet to show their true potential.
"What has impressed me about this team all year is its resiliency," Newlee said. "When things start to go a little bad they are digging down. That's something they've learned over the course of the year. Basketball is going to be up and down and it's not going to be perfect. I always tell them that as long as you play as hard as you can all the time, good things are going to happen to you. I'm sure they're going to remember that."
As the calendar turned, so did the results. The Vandals started 2013 with a much-needed 17-point win over San Jose State. After failing to out-score Utah State in a 91-85 home loss, the Vandals were tasked with hitting the road for the first time in WAC play. By this time, Idaho was up for the challenge. The Vandals erased a halftime deficit for the first time in almost a year in a 68-60 win at Denver, then grinded out a 57-51 win at New Mexico State. After falling to Louisiana Tech, which has had Idaho's number literally forever – going 17-0 all-time against the Vandals – Idaho won six of its next seven games to get to. 500 for the first time all season at 12-12, and more importantly, 9-4 in WAC play.
"It was a pretty difficult start to the season, but to our credit we picked it and started playing as a team and getting those wins," sophomore guard Stacey Barr said.
By the time mid-February rolled around, the Vandals found their rhythm with a starting five that included three true freshmen. Led by freshman Christina Salvatore and Barr, the team ranked among the nation's top-10 in 3-point shooting, but could easily counter the long-ball with the inside scoring and rebounding provided by junior Alyssa Charlston and freshman Ali Forde. Freshman Connie Ballestero, one of the WAC's most efficient point guards, ran the show and the Vandals had all the confidence in the world.
"I'm going to tell you, our freshmen, our younger players are very even-keeled on the basketball floor," Newlee said. "I've never seen a younger group that was like that. They don't panic. Very rarely have I seen panic on the faces of our young players."
But back-to-back heartbreakers -- two-point losses at UT Arlington and LA Tech -- brought the Vandals back down to earth. All of the sudden with just three regular season games left, Idaho could fall as far as the No. 5 seed in the looming WAC tournament. Idaho, however, never let that happen. The Vandals used a pair of double-digit wins over UTSA and Texas State to lock up the No. 3 seed heading into the regular season finale, a road test against a Seattle U team that was playing for the regular-season WAC title. Idaho battled for 40 minutes but a mid-range jumper from Seattle with less than two seconds left proved to be the difference in a 55-53 loss that left the Vandals more hungry than disappointed.
Idaho's last three losses had each come by two points, and the Vandals were ready to flip that script. Eager to prove it could beat the top two teams in the WAC – Utah State and Seattle U – Idaho was nearly upset in the conference quarterfinals against San Jose State. But Krissy Karr took matters into her own hands in the game's final possession, hitting a buzzer-beating layup as time expired to lift Idaho to a 57-55 victory and send the team to its second-consecutive WAC semifinals. There, Idaho faced Utah State, which handed Idaho its second-largest defeat of the season, an 81-50 loss in Logan, Utah. But Idaho brought everything it had, overcoming a 26-percent first-half shooting performance and a 37-point outburst from Utah State's Devyn Christensen to escape with an 84-82 win.
With its two-point loss in the regular season finale just one week in the rear-view mirror, Idaho was poised for another shot at Seattle U, this time with the WAC tournament title on the line. Idaho's offense was in-sync, shooting 44 percent from the field, and its defense was intense, holding Seattle U to 34 percent shooting while blocking nine shots, and the Vandals clawed their way to a 67-64 win to punch the programs first ticket to the Big Dance since 1985.
Barr, who averaged 19.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shot 60.6 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from 3-point range in the tournament, was the tournament MVP. Charlston also earned a spot on the all-tournament team as the Vandals cut down the nets at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
Idaho's reward for its WAC tournament championship? A trip to Storrs, Conn., to face No 3 nationally and No. 1 seeded Connecticut. The Vandals and Huskies will square off at 10:30 a.m. (PT) on March 23 in a nationally televised (ESPN2) game."We're playing our best basketball of the year right now," Newlee said. "We went down to Las Vegas on a mission and our team really came together during that week and won three really close games with all the pressure on. The way we performed down there was something we've been talking about all year. We finished playing our best basketball and that's what you want to do."

Reviews for Edna's Ho Ho Cake
"I read all the reviews...folks I used granulated sugar..as written. the trick is to beat it a LONG time, as I do ANY buttercream or filling recipe. That makes it light and fluffy. Patience is the key you need to let the sugar dissolve. I am lucky enough to have a stand mixer..i turn it on and walk away and do something else for 5 minutes. If i didnt have a stand mixer I would just take the time to use a hand mixer the same way. Directions are clear to use 2 9" PREPARED chocolate layers. This is a great recipe...everyone loves it!!"
"Really good. I've made it twice. The recipe definately means confectioners sugar. When making the filling just keep beating it until it thickens. It takes awhile."
"what was the filling between layers?this recipe as printed omitted the hoho filling"

TUCSON – Although Brigetta Barrett has graduated from the University of Arizona with honors and began her professional career, she will try to claim another accolade for herself and the university. On Tuesday, the NCAA announced the top 30 honorees for the 2013 NCAA Woman of the Year award. Barrett is one of those 30 women.
Ten women from each of the three divisions make up the top 30, spanning various NCAA sports. In September, three finalists from each division will be selected to form the nine finalists for the award. The 2013 Woman of the Year will be announced at an annual ceremony in Indianapolis on Oct. 20.
Cumulatively, the top 30 earned a 3.79 grade-point average and nearly 50 Academic All-America honors. The top 30 earned 12 national championships (individual and team) and more than 80 All-America honors. The top 30 volunteered for 365 organizations during their college careers. Many served as team captains and held leadership positions in various campus and community organizations.
Anna Soho, NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee chair, described the extraordinary commitment to academics and athletics by each of the top 30 honorees.
"These distinguished women are truly quintessential NCAA student-athletes, demonstrating dedication not only to athletic achievement but academic excellence and community leadership as well," said Soho. "The NCAA applauds their achievements, and we know that they will continue to be role models and make a positive impact on the world."
Barrett has served in several leadership positions, including being selected the co-President of the Pac-12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and was a team captain on the Wildcat track and field squad. She is also currently the co-President of the Committed to Christ student group on campus. Voted UA's Homecoming Queen this year, she continues to participate in several community service efforts, including Mentor Kids USA, a program that encourages young girls to pursue education and self-respect; Susan G. Komen with specific focus on helping to promote and facilitate race-day coordination; and Students on Stage, where she mentors fellow students and helps create an environment where they can express themselves and achieve common artistic goals.
Looking to eventually pursue a career in the performing arts, Barrett has been invited to sing the National Anthem at numerous sporting events, including the 2012 Pac-12 Men's and Women's Track and Field Championships, the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, a Diamondbacks baseball game, the Fiesta Bowl and Arizona football games. She has also sung the National Anthem at the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk, the State of the City address where she was invited by the mayor of Tucson, and at different high schools where she also has talked about the importance of academic success.
Barrett is also a finalist for The Bowerman, the award given to the most outstanding male and female student-athletes in collegiate track & field. She was named the 2013 Pac-12 Women's Field Athlete of the Year for the first time in her career. Barrett was also named the USTFCCCA National Women's Field Athlete of the Year this season, the first time she received that honor as well. She also was named the 2013 Women's West Region Field Athlete of the Year. Also, Barrett was named the 2013 Pac-12 Woman of the Year.
Barrett left Arizona as the most successful women's collegiate high jumper ever. She won her sixth-straight NCAA Championship in the women's high jump in June Eugene, Ore. The last three indoor titles and the last three outdoor titles belong to Barrett. Barrett is the first woman in collegiate history to win three-straight indoor and outdoor titles. She also owns the most high jump titles in collegiate history with six. Barrett is the second woman in collegiate history to win three-straight outdoor titles; former Wildcat Tanya Hughes is the other. Hughes accomplished the feat in 1991, 1992 and 1993. Barrett is also the outdoor collegiate record holder in the event with a clearance of 6-6.25 (1.99m). On Saturday, Barrett claimed the silver medal at the 2013 IAAF World Championships with a clearance of 6-6.75 (2.00m). Her personal-best clearance of 6-8.25 (2.04m) at the USA Championships is the No. 2 jump in U.S. history and was good for second-straight USA Championship.For continued coverage of Arizona Wildcat men's and women's track and field, visit ArizonaWildcats.com and follow @ArizonaTrack on twitter.

Alcohol in the form of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is found in alcoholic beverages, mouthwash, cooking extracts, some medications and certain household products. Ethyl alcohol poisoning generally results from drinking too many alcoholic beverages, especially in a short period of time.
Other forms of alcohol — including isopropyl alcohol (found in rubbing alcohol, lotions and some cleaning products) and methanol or ethylene glycol (a common ingredient in antifreeze, paints and solvents) — can cause another type of toxic poisoning that requires emergency treatment.
A major cause of alcohol poisoning is binge drinking — a pattern of heavy drinking when a male rapidly consumes five or more alcoholic drinks within two hours, or a female downs at least four drinks within two hours. An alcohol binge can occur over hours or last up to several days.
You can consume a fatal dose before you pass out. Even when you're unconscious or you've stopped drinking, alcohol continues to be released from your stomach and intestines into your bloodstream, and the level of alcohol in your body continues to rise.
Unlike food, which can take hours to digest, alcohol is absorbed quickly by your body — long before most other nutrients. And it takes a lot more time for your body to get rid of the alcohol you've consumed.
Most alcohol is processed by your liver, and in general, it takes about one hour for your liver to process (metabolize) the alcohol in one drink.
One drink is defined as:
Mixed drinks may contain more than one serving of alcohol and take even longer to metabolize.

Vintage Zombie Halloween Bash (27 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
When I started planning a Halloween table, I really wanted to do something different than the typical Halloween themes, so I chose zombies. However, my challenge was to create something that would be fun for adults but not give the kiddos nightmares. So, I settled on a vintage zombie movie theme and made it more campy and spooky than bloody and scary.
My budget for this party was $150, and though I used a professional baker and fondant artist for help on a couple of items, I managed to stay just under budget by re-purposing items from around the house, shopping at the dollar store and doing homemade whenever possible.
I designed the printables using vintage images and a color palette of greens, red, black and amber as a nod to those old Hollywood horror movies. Decorations came mostly from Dollar Tree, while cake stands, serving dishes, antiques and some Halloween decorations came from my own collection (in fact, most of my black serving pieces were picked up at Hobby Lobby last year after Halloween when they were marked down 85% off). I printed off vintage zombie movie posters and framed them in dollar store frames to create a spooky back drop.
For the spooky edibles, I served zombie cookies and eyeball cake pops by the fabulous Stacey of Treats 4 Ta-Tas (she donates 100% of money earned to Breast Cancer Research), homemade Living Dead Cupcakes (chocolate cherry cupcakes) with edible headstone toppers by Sugar & Stripes Co. and some doll arms I bought off of Etsy, homemade Zombie Mousse (Chocolate Mousse Parfaits), homemade Monster Munch, and Zombie Juice (lime soda) to drink.
The Living Dead cupcakes were definitely the hit of the party and were so much fun to make! I baked chocolate cupcakes and hollowed out the middle. I filled the holes with cherry pie filling and then frosted the tops with chocolate icing. I crumbled the extra cake pieces and sprinkled them over the top of the cupcakes to resemble dirt. Then I stuck in a fondant headstone and an arm. Big impact, little effort!
Everyone had a blast and we had a great time talking about Halloween, zombies, and old movies!

Bulleit Brand Ambassador Hollis Bulleit, Master of Whiskey Ed Adams and They Die By Dawn Director Jeymes Samuel
Nothing beats a good Western film, especially when an all-star cast is combined with heart-stopping action and an engaging plotline to make an epic, even if short, film experience.
This morning, Salt Lake Magazine was sent an exclusive look at the upcoming short film They Die By Dawn, written and directed by Jeymes Samuel and starring an entirely African-American cast, including Jesse Williams, Michael K. Williams, Isaiah Washington, Nate Parker, Bokeem Woodbine, Clifton Powell, Rosario Dawson, Giancarlo Esposito, and Erykah Badu.
The Bulleit Bourbon preview event, held on Jan. 20, took place in Park City, where the director and several cast members answered questions about the film and talked about their respective characters and roles. Bulleit Bourbon, which is featured extensively in the movie, teamed up with Samuel to provide frontier-inspired cocktails for the preview's attendees, adding a vintage and altogether rustic and very Western feel to the evening.
Master of Whiskey Ed Adams introduces They Die By Dawn actor Isaiah Washington to the new Bulleit 10
Set in the gun-slinging town of Langston, Oklahoma, the film centers on four hardened outlaws who all have generous bounties on their heads. They arrange for a shootout with only one rule: There can only be one man standing, and he collects the bounty for them all. It's scheduled to release in March. Check out the trailer below:

I couldn't believe how easy and fast they were, and still taste like you put lots of work into them! Thanks for a great recipe!"

"Upon reading reviews and the recipe, the reserved batter is to use 1 tsp. of batter on top of each of the rolls. The purpose looks to be to give it a "roll" look instead of a cupcake or muffin shape."

Development of Adult-Generated Neurons
Most neurons in the brain are generated during embryogenesis. However, neural stem cells in discrete regions of the adult brain continuously produce newborn neurons that can functionally integrate by forming synapses with the existing neural circuitry. One of the regions where adult neurogenesis occurs is the dentate gyrus, an area that is involved learning and memory. My laboratory focuses on the mechanisms underlying functional maturation and synaptogenesis of newborn granule cells, the principal neurons in the dentate gyrus. We use a variety of techniques to explore how newborn neurons survive and integrate, and how these processes are modified by aging, exercise and disease.
Several methods can be used to identify newborn neurons from the much larger population of mature neurons. One tool we use is the POMC-EGFP transgenic mouse. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is normally expressed in the pituitary and hypothalamus, but cryptic sequences in the POMC promoter also drive the expression of EGFP in newborn granule cells of the dentate gyrus. Because neurogenesis continues through adulthood, EGFP-labeled newborn neurons can be visualized in both young (above, left) and adult (above, right) mice. We also use complementary methods such as retroviral labeling and immunohistochemistry to identify newborn granule cells at various developmental stages.
One of our interests is how adult-generated neurons become "wired" into the adult neural network. Newborn neurons in the dentate gyrus first receive GABAergic synaptic input. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult brain, and during development it also has a trophic role in neuronal maturation. We study how new neurons interact with their local environment to form synapses, and how these processes are altered in the aging and diseased brain. To the right is an image of three granule cells filled with biocytin (red) surrounded by unfilled granule cells (blue). Two of the granule cells received synaptic input (lower traces) in response to action potentials (upper traces) generated in a nearby GABAergic interneuron (upper left red cell).

The constructor of WSDL has a bug where $this->_uri is not properly saved. This leads to problems with complex types that rely on this information and inside the tag the namespace is empty. This did not came up in the unit tests, because they also expected the wrong result.
Attached is a very simple patch for both WSDL and WSDLTest classes that solves this issue.
Solves the $this->_uri issue with two simple changes to the constructor.
Fixes the Unit Test that expects the wrong result. There are hundrets of whitespace changes in this patch too, since the WsdlTest was completly in DOS format.

For this week's Throwback Thursday, Giant Step President/CEO Maurice Bernstein tells us about Blaze's 1990 shows for their debut album. What were some of your favorite Blaze tunes?
We started out the Groove Academy in June of 1990 with our main focus on shows highlighting older funk & soul artists, but the third show we did was with a new group called Blaze from New Jersey.
Representing the New Jersey underground house scene, they were heavily influenced by 70s soul, dance music, and gospel. Signed to Motown by Timmy Regisford, Blaze were pegged as the next generation of the label (in the spirit of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On").
We were really excited to work with them, especially with Blaze being a band that I was very keen on and the fact that Motown had really gotten behind them. Their tune "So Special" was a big hit in NY house music community.

Agent for ChangeOn a muggy Sunday afternoon this summer, Coleen Rowley's campaign trail leads her a couple hours north of her Minneapolis home, to Minnesota's resort district, where a star of the Democratic party firmament has come to help her raise money. It is just one stop in dozens of races around the country that pit big-money politics against grassroots momentum, longtime incumbents against unconventional candidates who are making it up as they go along.The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes doesn't look too lodgelike; it's so new that there's nary a shrub between the entrance and the highway 100 yards away. Perhaps to compensate, the cabin-country decor goes overboard: The stuffed bears in the lobby are the product of actual taxidermy; the snowshoes, creels, and antler fixtures appear to have been professionally distressed.The 70-some working parents and retirees in this room have been lured by the headliner: comedian, talk-show host, and possible future senatorial candidate Al Franken. But everyone in this rural area knows Rowley's story. She was a career special agent who told the world how her office, just before 9/11, tried to investigate Zacarias Moussaoui, who trained at a Twin Cities flight school, and how FBI higher-ups thwarted the effort. The fund-raiser attendees also know that Rowley leaped to celebrity as one of three women whistle-blowers (the others were from Enron and WorldCom) on a cover of Time in 2002.Now Rowley is running for the U.S. House of Representatives as an "agent for change" — especially on civil liberties, privacy, and the war in Iraq — facing the GOP incumbent, John Kline, a hawkish war proponent and staunch Bush supporter. Even as a record number of women run for state and federal offices, Rowley is uniquely positioned as a challenger. A political outsider, she doesn't yet smack of business as usual. She has serve-your-country credentials and national intelligence experience to appeal to the so-called security moms. She's animated and warm, if no-frills, with a captivating speak-truth-to-power backstory. "People are hungry for this voice," says Becky Lourey, a longtime Minnesota state senator who ran in the Democratic primary for governor this fall. "You need to connect with voters, and that's what she's done: connect, connect, connect — tirelessly." Rowley stands an excellent chance of breaking through the electorate's apathy, if she can get her message out.Rousing a CrowdRowley, 51, dislikes being cast as a hero. She lives with her husband of 25 years in a Twin Cities suburb with the bucolic name of Apple Valley. She has four children (ages 11 to 24) and one grandkid, and shoulder-length hair flecked with silver. A long-time triathlete, she's comfortable in her trim, five-foot-five-and-a-half-inch frame. But she's hardly imposing when she steps to the podium after Franken's introduction. Speaking in a nasal Midwestern accent, she sprinkles her talk with epithets like "gosh" and expressions such as "just plain wrong." Early on, she told party strategists she'd rather lose the election than have to turn herself into a "prom queen."Still, Rowley's job today is to rouse her audience and open their wallets. She's begun to figure out the chicken-and- egg equation of money and popular appeal. A few months back, coming to preach to the near-converted in this small burg far from her district would have made no sense to her. Now she's calculating differently. If — a colossal if — enough people make the suggested $50 donation today, Rowley can buy TV ads. TV ads would reach disaffected swing voters in her district (the suburbs and farmland south of Minneapolis and Saint Paul) who may not be wild about Rowley but who aren't crazy about Kline either.And Rowley has begun to project authority. As she talks, audience members start to nod and answer back, like a congregation. "It's not a lie," Rowley tells them. "The terrorist threat is higher." She begins to slam the Bush administration's monitoring of Americans' phone calls and bank transactions. This stepped-up surveillance, she warns, won't protect anyone. It's counterproductive.

She made headlines after 9/11 by writing a memo that blew the whistle on the FBI. Now Coleen Rowley is running for Congress against an incumbent. Can a mild-mannered Minnesotan learn to play political hardball?

On July 12, 2006 eight IDF soldiers were killed and two kidnapped on the border with Lebanon, in an attack by the Hizbullah terror organization. Hizbullah simultaneously launched Katyusha rockets against Israeli communities near the border.
From July 12 until August 14, when the cease-fire went into effect, 43 Israeli civilians and 117 IDF soldiers were killed.Two more soldiers were killed in south Lebanon shortly after the August 14 cease-fire.After spending over a year fighting for his life in a Haifa hospital, Mohammed (Don) Salum succumbed to his wounds on August 29, 2007.
Israel Police: Since the beginning of the fighting on July 12, 3,970 rockets landed on Israel, 901 of them in urban areas. More than a thousand rockets landed in the Kiryat Shmona area, 808 rockets landed near Nahariya, 471 near Safed, 176 near Carmiel, 106 near Akko, 93 in the Haifa vicinity and 81 near Tiberias.Health Ministry: Since July 12, 4,262 civilians were treated in hospitals for injuries. Of these, 33 were seriously wounded, 68 moderately and 1,388 lightly. Another 2,773 were treated for shock and anxiety.During Hizbullah's month-long bombardment of Israel's civilian population, 6,000 homes were hit, 300,000 residents displaced and more than a million were forced to live in shelters. Almost a third of Israel's population - over two million people - were directly exosed to the missile threat.Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce: Businesses in the north lost revenues of NIS 5.9 billion (USD 1.4 billion) as a result of the war.

• Foreign Minister Livni (July 12): "Hizbullah is a terrorist organization, which is part of the Lebanese government. The international community, including the Security Council, has demanded, repeatedly, that the government of Lebanon dismantle Hizbullah. Lebanon has failed to act and today's aggression is the result."

Humanitarian efforts
Aug 8: Following the escalation in violence last month, an operations room was set up in an IDF base in northern Tel Aviv to coordinate international efforts to provide aid to Lebanon, headed by Lt.-Col. Yigal Haccoun and manned by representatives of the Foreign Ministry, the United Nations and the Red Cross.
Since July 12, the IDF has helped coordinate the evacuation of at least 70,000 foreign nationals from Lebanon. A total of 213 passenger ships, 123 land convoys and 196 helicopters have been allowed to dock in or travel through Lebanon to evacuate the expatriates and tourists. The convoys were able to travel on approved routes, without fear that they would get caught in the middle of IDF-Hizbullah gunbattles or in the sights of IAF jets.
Some 57 planes have been allowed to land at Beirut International Airport to unload humanitarian goods for residents of southern Lebanon.
Israel strikes back - Operation Change of Direction
Israel Air Force strikes back in Lebanon (Reuters)
In response to the July 12 attack, the IDF immediately carried out over 100 aerial attacks in Lebanon, targeting mainly Hizbullah bases. A vehicle, in which two Hizbullah terrorists were traveling, was targeted in the evening. A number of bridges and roads in Lebanon were also attacked, in order to prevent Hizbullah from transferring the abducted soldiers. The Israel Air Force also targeted Hizbullah batteries of rockets aimed at Israel, stationed along the northern border.
On July 13, Israel widened its offensive against Hizbullah, imposing a full air, ground and naval blockade on Lebanon. The IAF fired rockets into the Hizbullah's al-Manar TV station and headquarters in Beirut, as well as the Beirut airport, forcing its closure.
July 18: Over 700 Katyusha rockets were fired by Hizbullah at Israel since July 13, 2006, killing 12 Israeli civilians and wounding over 300.Since the beginning of Operation Change of Direction, IDF aircraft have flown over 1,600 sorties, the IAF's unmanned aerial vehicles have logged approximately 250 hours of flight time in the skies over Lebanon and over 130 missile launch sites in Lebanon have been attacked.

The next morning Bella awoke early (for her) and headed down the gently curving staircase to bid her father farewell before he went off for his weekend 'business' trip. He left every saturday at 10am and she needed to catch him before he went this time.
If her mother noticed that he seemed to spend a lot of time away at night and on weekends she never said, but Bella certainly couldn't help but realize what was going on. Then again, perhaps her mother was aware, as she had been spending considerably more time at her sister's house and less and less time at home. Which was alright, she supposed, but it left Bella with a lot of alone time. Not that her mother was much company when she was in her usual state, anyway.
Her father was seated at the head of the dining room table, reading the paper in a dark blue suit and sipping coffee.
"Morning Daddy." Bella said, as she entered the room.
"How was school yesterday, Issy?" Her father asked, crossing his legs and glancing over the top of the paper at his daughter. He was an attractive man in his early 40s. He had deep brown hair with white streaks glancing back from his temples, bright morning sky blue eyes and chiseled features. He wore his success over his shoulders like a mantle and he seemed to ooze authority.
"It was fine, there was a surprise world history test. I was very surprised." She said, rolling her eyes and sitting to his left. She sorted through the discarded sections of newspaper until she found the comics.
"In other words, you weren't prepared." He said, giving her a mock stern look.
"Daddy, how can you possibly prepare for a surprise?" She asked, eyes wide with innocence.
"It's a good thing you are pretty, precious." He said, reaching across the table to tap the end of her nose. "God knows you'll need your looks to get by without an education. You should study harder, you'll never get into a good school at this rate."
"I'm sure I don't know what you mean." She said, lifting the comic to hide her face. "I need more money, Daddy."
"You could try something novel, like getting a job." He said, turning the page of his paper.
"How could I possibly study more if I have to get a job?" She asked, lowering the paper to stare at him wide eyed again.
"How much do you want?" He asked, sighing and folding the newspaper.
"Oh... You know... However much you think..." She began before he cut her off.
"You have a figure in mind, I know you. How much do you want? Or shall I just give you your allowance early?" He asked, reaching for his wallet.
"Oh, please do. That would be perfect." She hopped up and stood by the arm of his chair, hand held out. When he placed the bills in her hand she glanced at them, and back to him without saying a word. Laughing, he added another to her open palm.
"Thank you, Daddy. I love you, you know. I really do." She bent to kiss his cheek before darting out of the room without waiting for a response.
"Good-bye Daddy, if I don't see you again before you go! Tell Chrissy I say hiiiieeeee!" She tossed over her shoulder, laughing at the thought of the surprised look her father must be wearing at having her see through the thin pretense that he was spending the weekend on a business trip instead of in his 22 year old secretary's loft.
