REVIEW: Blood by Moonlight by Jocelynn Drake, Terri Garey & Caris Roane
Blood by Moonlight (Anthology)
by Jocelynn Drake, Terri Garey & Caris Roane
Avon Impulse (Oct 2012)
Ebook, 224 pages
Paranormal Romance | Urban Fantasy
Needing something quick and easy to read during my commutes to work, I decided to read this anthology which has been sitting on my kindle since late last year. So did this collection make the journeys more pleasurable or did they make me want to jump out of the car?
OF MONSTERS AND MEN by Jocelynn Drake
This was an enjoyable little romp in a series I have yet to pick up. When I found out that there was another short to be read, I jumped at the chance. What I didn't realise was that this story was set after book one, Angel's Ink, which I have still to read. Though it was clear I had missed some important developments in the universe, it only made me want to read the book more.
The premise of this short is that the Winter Court is going on the Wild Hunt in woods that are part of the territory of the local werewolf pack. The alpha of the pack requests the help of Gage, the main protagonist of the Asylum Tales series. As you may have read in my reviews of the two novella's Bronx and Trixie, he is still trying to keep his head down. In this tale, it seems something happened in Angels Ink that has meant he isn't so under the radar as he would like.
With the help of Trixie (who is now his girlfriend), he manages to help the Werewolves, but not without a huge confrontation against the Winter Court.
This was a brilliant little tale and Drake really does have a knack for giving the reader a lot of bang for their buck. Its a tightly knitted tale, which manages to demonstrate alot about Gage in the limited amount of page space she has available.
I saw a side to Gage that really made me stop and cast aside all comparisons to another wizard I love in this genre. Gage is much more of a man balancing delicatly on the edge of the abyss. When he thinks that the Winter Court has hurt Trixie, who we find out is a fey from the summer court, Gage really does titter on the edge of going apocalyptic on their asses. He realises that he can't "unlearn" everything the Ivory Tower had taught him; that the temptation to fall into the known ways is just one misstep away.
Whether it could be read as a stand-alone, I can't really say. Part of me says yes, because I didn't get lost even though I had not read the first book, but then I was at an advantage because I had read the prequel novella's. No matter, this was a brilliant read. (4/5)
THE GHOUL NEXT DOOR by Terri Garey
I have mixed feelings about this story. True, I enjoyed it very much and much like Jocelynn Drake, Terri Garey has managed to construct a really interesting and meaty tale, but for me this could easily have been expanded into a full novel.
Cassie, our female lead for she isn't really a heroine in this tale, decides to use her gifts as a witch to drive out the person who she sees as having stolen her birth right. She sets about breaking down the wall on All Hallows Eve, in order to drive out Falco, the current owner of Cassies childhood home.
However, things don't go entirely to plan as Cassie breaks one of the sacred oaths by using her power against another being like herself. It turns out that Falco is actually a Warlock.
Both have to call a truce and battle a foe who wants to have both the house and the Grimore that is Cassies, for himself.
There is so much potential in this story that when I finished it, I wanted to know more. There is so much backstory that is left unexplored, especially with Falco and the relationship between Falco's family and Cassies. Again I do recognise that there is only a limited number of pages available to construct a full storyline. Garey does manage to do this, but this could have easily been a full length novel or even a series. (4/5)
TRICK OR TREATHEN by Caris Roane
This was the weakest out of the three. While The Ghoul Next Door was an enjoyable read, this was one where the heroine really grated on my nerves. She bounds blindly into a situation with little regard of the consequences.
The setting is a world very similar to the Sookie Stackhouse novels, where vampires are out in the open and are living alongside humans.
Jenna, our female lead in the story breaks into one of local vampire nests in order to get its Master Treyne to help her find her sister. She believes another Master has kidnapped her. Jenna thinks this happened at Treynes club and she wants him to help her get in.
For a story with a pretty interesting hook, it holds very little substance with most of the story taken up with the bedroom antics between Treyne and Jenna. Though Jenna doesn't really like vampires, even more so after her is kidnapped. True, she dislikes Treyne less than others but she still holds some prejudices against him. This is all overridden by a bond that seems to connect Jenna and Treyne.
I must admit that there are some really well written steamy scenes in this book, especially since it is a short novella. My main criticism is that the short doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It is neither a satisfying Urban Fantasy nor Paranormal Romance. Again, it may have been better as a full length novel in order to give the writer the flexibility to build up the unwanted attraction between the two leads. Then the disappearance of Jenna's sister could have been built a better. As another review commented, both Jenna and Treyne spent more time in bed with each other rather than the more pressing matter of saving Jenna's sister.
I do have one of Roane's novels books on my TBR, Born of Ashes. I would be interested to see if she can write a satisfying read. This short won't put me off of reading it, I'm just a bit more wary. (2.5/5)
The shorts in this novel do show the potential each author has and overall I did enjoy them. However, I can't help feeling that with Roane and Garey, the limited length they had meant that their full potential was not displayed.
In the case of Garey, I know that she can write a great novel as I have read Devil Without A Cause and I really enjoyed it. So if you do like this short, then I suggest you should pick that up.

About Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy is the result of about 100 years of research dedicated to understanding
the differences between cancer cells and normal cells. To date, cancer treatment
has focused primarily on killing rapidly dividing cells because one feature of cancer
cells is that they divide rapidly. Unfortunately, some of our normal cells divide
rapidly too, causing multiple side effects.
Targeted therapy is about identifying other features of cancer cells. Scientists
look for specific differences in the cancer cells and the normal cells. This information
is used to create a targeted therapy to attack the cancer cells without damaging
the normal cells, thus leading to fewer side effects. Each type of targeted therapy
works a little bit differently but all interfere with the ability of the cancer
cell to grow, divide, repair and/or communicate with other cells. Modern targeted
therapy types include the use of monoclonal antibodies and anti-angiogenesis drugs,
both of which are described in greater depth here.
The different types of targeted therapies are defined in three broad categories.
Some targeted therapies focus on the internal components and function of the cancer
cell. The targeted therapies use small molecules that can get into the cell and
disrupt the function of the cells, causing them to die. There are several types
of targeted therapy that focus on the inner parts of the cells. Other targeted therapies
target receptors that are on the outside of the cell. Therapies that target receptors
are also known as monoclonal antibodies. Anti-angiogenesis drugs target the blood
vessels that supply oxygen to the cells, ultimately causing the cells to starve.
Researchers agree that targeted therapies are not a replacement for traditional
therapies. Targeted therapies involve production of components such as monoclonal
antibodies or anti-angiogenesis drugs may best be used in the short term, combination
with traditional therapies. More research is needed to identify which cancers may
be best treated with targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies or anti-angiogenesis
drugs and to identify additional targets for more types of cancer.
Using Monoclonal Antibodies as Targeted Therapy
Monoclonal antibodies are a relatively new type of "targeted" cancer therapy. Antibodies
are part of the immune system. Normally, the body creates antibodies in response
to an antigen (such as a protein in a germ) entering the body. The antibodies attach
to the antigen in order to mark the antigen for destruction by the body's immune
system. In the laboratory, scientists analyze specific antigens on the surface of
cancer cells (target) to determine a protein to match the antigen. Then, using protein
from animals and humans, scientists work to create a special antibody that will
attach to the target antigen. An antibody will attach to a matching antigen like
a key fits a lock. This technology allows treatment to target specific cells, causing
less toxicity to healthy cells. Monoclonal antibody therapy can be done only for
cancers in which antigens (and the respective antibodies) have been identified.
Erbitux is a targeted therapy that targets and binds to the epidermal growth factor
receptors (EGFR) on the surface of the cell. EGFR is found on the surface of many
normal and cancer cells. By binding to these receptors, Erbitux blocks an
important pathway that promotes cell division this results in inhibition of cell
growth and apoptosis (cell suicide).

My heart started pumped hard as I got off the F train and walked toward the staging for Monday's Mayweather-Canelo media tour opener in Manhattan, in the heart of Times Square.
It was sweet to see boxing getting it's just due, out and proud, with thousands of folks clustered, necks craned, or milling, curious about this spectacle, in a sea of spectacles.
This was the first stop on an 11 city, two-country tour, for the record. Showtime's Stephen Espinoza said that expenses for the caravan are into the seven figures, for sure.
Check out this Boxing Channel report of the presser here.
Before the open-to-the-public event, on a pedestrian island, kicked off, media hustled into the W Hotel, half a block from the stage, and entered one of two rooms to get a chance to hear what the principals had to say. One room was for print guys, the other for video, and first Canelo came into the video room, got grilled, followed by Mayweather.
A Team Mayweather employee whispered to Mayweather publicist Kelly Swanson to try and get things wrapped up, because it was after 3PM. "The NYPD is asking us to get them to the stage," was the word.
The sun was blazing viciously at around 1:30, but some clouds had provided some cover by 3:30. Richard Schaefer scored a point with me when he cracked that of the two boxers, Canelo is the more handsome, and told Floyd he was just kidding. I do wonder how many people get his James Dean reference when he calls Canelo the James Dean of pugilism...
Canelo was his usual self, unflappable, focused, confident, self assured. He told media, with Golden Boy's Eric Gomez translating, that he expects to be the first man to sully Mayweathers' record. No, he said, it won't be any big deal that he has to make 152 or less for the 154 pound scrap. Oscar De La Hoya told me that Canelo "is no Guerrero, he's no Victor Ortiz, he's Canelo," and sounded like he liked the odds of the Mexican scoring an upset more so than he had the two aforementioned guys.
Mayweather showed flashes of his posh self, at one point playing it up--I think he was playing it up--when a handler brought him a glass of iced water. "You brought me filtered water with tap water cubes," he said. No thanks, he said, and handed off the glass. I gratefully took the tainted cubed glass and gulped it down.
Mayweather had the folks cracking up when he was asked for some words in Spanish to hype the Sept. 14 bout in Las Vegas, and said that Canelo is "the uno" Mexican fighter out there. He proved he had a down to earth side lol when he opened up his backpack for us, and showed it had knicknacks, and not stacks of bills, in it.
I told Mayweather that I didn't think Canelo could truly challenge him, and I didn't think anyone in and around his weight class could challenge him. What about a catchweight fight with Andre Ward? No dice, he said, throwing some of that ice water on my fantasy. "I'm a one hundred forty seven pounder," he told me.
When the NYPD got its way, Mayweather charmed the crowd, most of which booed him when he was announced. The crowd seemed to be about 65% Canelo fans, but even many of them got into it when Floyd did a call and response "Hard work-dedication" schtick.
He teased the assembled when he said, "I wish we could fight at Madison Square Garden. Y'all want me to fight at the Garden?" Most seemed to enjoy that prospect, though earlier, inside, when asked about fighting at "the Mecca" Mayweather declared that "Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing." He did allow then that fighting at MSG would be a treat.
Just a guess, but I don't think that's out of the question. Showtime needs to make four more Floyd scraps special, and bringing the Floyd fest to NYC would indeed by a change-of-pace boost. (Though I have to guess that Barclays Center would want that action, too, right?)
Floyd drew some more cheers when he said, "They need to put it right here in Times Square, let us do it today," he said.
He called Canelo a "true champion" and said the 22-year-old earned his right to get this gig.
A highlight for me, and proof of the import of the event was an Al Haymon sighting. I saw him, and right after, heard a fan address him. "Hey Al Haymon," the man said, and the super-advisor didn't flinch or acknowledge him. "OK, it's gonna be like that," the man said, chuckling. I played a card, and said hello, I'm Mike Woods from blah blah blah," shook his hand, and jokingly asked, "Who do you like in this fight?" He seemed to appreciate the weak stab at humor...
Canelo kept it short and sweet, declaring that "this is my time" and "we're gonna win."
After last week, and the Broner-Malignaggi buildup, this friction-free affair was quite the counterpoint. I did note that Canelo was right there in Floyd's face during two staredowns, wait, are we calling them "stareouts" now? and I didn't see any fidgeting, or nerves. No, I think that Robert Guerrero was a little bit frayed by the intensity and duration of attention, and while I think Canelo might get bored, I suspect the gravity of the event won't impact him negatively.
The crew jetted to the airport and got on planes, looking to touch down in DC, and do it again tomorrow. Floyd does a homecoming in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Wednesday.
I do wonder if by the end of this tour any bad blood will get stirred up, or the gentlemanly tone will hold throughout. Your guess, readers?
Somebody knock out Ellerbe
Nice copy, Editor Mike! Why don't you post a foto of the "Shadow" Al Haymon in the TSS Universe? Readers are more antsy about what his bubble arse look like than they where when they kept asking me the name of "Watson" and "his sons" for a year or two before you spitted their identities. Holla!
Tap water cubes are more toxic than a cesspool. Editor Mike, like a mad animal, they will make you drool. Your _____ is going to get upset, then you'll be long-sitting on da toilet stool and feeling like a fool. Hehehe! Money May is not going to be poison come water tricks or by hating d--ks. Money May is on his game, and nothing is going to make him lame.
Lesson 101 of Old-Skool Boxing, never drink water given to you or your team by strangers. In da biz of legal mayhem, there are many tricks of the trade and sneakly dangers.
To this day, nobody believes Big [Rev.] George Foreman that some hanky panky stanky was done to his drinking water for a whole two months before his dance with GOAT Ali in the Rumble of the Jungle famousfest. Holla!
BTW, I know y'all should know the water tricks of boxing .
"You WANT DA BOTTLE! ...Give me da bottle! Da one I MIXED!" -- Panama Lewis. Now that cat is the greatest water mixer all times. Hehehe! Editor Mike probably now has a two-month whammy that was meant for Money May. Holla!
Lmfao@ the comments on Leonard. The pic is funny. Homey is looking straight down at Floyd's *** like "mmmmm, still yummy after all these years".
What is it about Leonard?
I mean honestly that just makes you want to knock his *** out.
The cocky tough guy attitude?
Dude isn't a fighter but runs his mouth like one.
He may be a good businessman and good for him.
Act like a businessman and don't talk like a fighter.
Radam u have a link of Hayman?
I fully respect Al Haymon. I've read up on him, and no, I don't believe all I read but I think I am a good judge of character ...so he sounds legit to me. For all we clown about Leonard and the Watson family .... Al manages and advises and let's the fighters fight the fights and occasionally make jackasses of themselves . Admittedly, I'd like to see him in some sort of one on one interview but neither does he owe it to anyone other than the fighters he represents .
Hehehe! You are straight wilding, SouthPaul. That was a good one. But if Leonard is check out Money May's bottom, he is history. Money May is super homophobia. He was dead seriously hating HBO 24/7 for telecasting the mano-i-mano sleeping arrangement that Cotto had with Cotto's sidekick. Holla!
Amayseng, that bottle trick of Panama Lewis was just effective corner-placebo work. One time I was dragging arse in a bout, and the, late cutman and trainer Chuck Bodak told me that I was getting winded because somebody stuck a needle on my stool, and it lodged in my hip and that he is going to put it out and my engergy will come back.
Chuck fake to pull a draining-engergy needle out of my arse. Of course I believed it, so he fake it, and showed me a hair pin from my female corner assistant. I believed that hair pin to a black needle. I immediately become engergize, whup da holy hebejeebeez out of my opponent for the two rounds and make him quit. He accused my corner of black magic.
Placebos and good cons from a great corner work big time in the hurt bitnezz, my friend. Holla!
To see what Al Haymon looks like, try this: put the words "Al Haymon" into Google. Presto!
Again with the "lol". Cut it out, man!
Ellerbe is a leach and classless
look in the google images bit. You can't miss him. Unlike his best client Al is no Pretty Boy, but like Floyd he's got a big ol' pile of Money (presumably) so probably doesn't care too much!
I'm glad, you said that, L-30-thousand-and-one. "The Shadow" Al Haymon is definitely Pretty Boy challenged. Also he has put on a few pounds that ain't showing up in any "google images bit." And a lot more of his bush has faded to bald. It is a luv T-K-O! But he won't let it go -- let it go! He ought to holla at Don King and get one of those Don King's hair pieces. Or maybe he can holla at Juan Manuel Hulkquez and go to Mexico and get some hair plugs. Hehehe!
And I'm not going to jive and convive too much about the Shadow because he just may send a bust-up crew to touch me up in the P-Islands. Hahahaha! I'm just jiving. See! I've haven't called him "Fat Albert" once. Hehehe! Dude is no doubt money deep. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

It was not long ago medical experts around the world were saying it would take a "miracle" for Formula One champion Michael Schumacher to emerge from his coma, but former rival Jean Alesi confirmed yesterday that he is showing signs of awakening, according to an article in the London Mirror Thursday, April 10. Schumacher has been fighting for his life since his skis struck a snow-covered rock which sent him airborne 34 feet before his head struck a larger rock on Dec. 29, 2013.
He was airlifted to Grenoble, a town approximately 400 miles southeast of Paris which once hosted the Winter Olympics. Although he was briefly conscious and spoke, doctors at University Hospital placed him into a medically-induced coma to allow his brain time to heal.
Alesi, who was once an outstanding Formula One driver in his own right, told the motorsports magazine Speedweek that Schumacher appeared to be getting better. The magazine quoted him as saying, "During my last visit I noticed something had improved."
Alesi said he further sensed that his family including wife Corinna Schumacher were happy at the positive turn Michael's condition is now taking. Schumacher's millions of fans around the world were deeply concerned when various medical experts in Europe said Michael may not ever awake from his deep sleep since he is now heading into his thirteenth week.
His representative Sabine Kehm confirmed Alesi's opinion when she recently told news media sources that the seventime world champion is showing "moments of consciousness and awakening."
Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel said before last Sunday's race in Bahrain that, "It is very good to hear it's going in the right direction," according to the London Daily Mirror.
Dr. Ganesh Bavikatte said the fact the F1 legend had been in an artificially coma so long meant his brain injury was extremely serious. Dr. Bavikatte is based at the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, England. Bavikatte made his remarks before Alesi and Kehm reported Schumacher's improvement.
Corinna and Michael have long been considered the "golden couple" of the glamorous Formula One world since they met while he was winning a record seven world championships first for Benetton and later for Ferrari. Michael once recounted he couldn't recall them ever having a fight or serious dispute.
Some observers have attributed the success of their marriage to the fact she has never discouraged him from his risky Formula One racing which took the life of Ayrton Senna, three-time world champion. Ayrton perished while driving a Williams in a race against Michael who was piloting a Benetton at the time.
The irony of Michael's situation is that he never suffered anything more serious than a broken leg during his illustrious career during which he won a record 91 races in addition to the seven world championships.
Corinna has been the personification of the devoted wife during this season of testing for Michael and his family. She reportedly drives a good distance every day to be at his bedside and speak to him in the hopes he will recognize her voice. She has never faltered in her belief he will recover since this ordeal began.
Kehm has denied reports that Corinna has expended 10 million pounds (16 milllion American dollars) to construct a medically equipped room adjacenet to the couple's mansion.
Corinna and Michael married in 1995 and moved into a luxurious mansion in Switzerland. German magazine Stern once reported, "Rarely do you see a couple made for each other as the Schumachers seem to be."
Corinna was a former saleslady from a small town not far from where Michael grew up. Their top priority has been raising their two children, although they purchased a ranch near Dallas, Texas. She has built the ranch into a multi-million dollar business raising horses.
Michael explained to a German television channel last year why he thought they'd never had a "serious" fight, saying, "It's because we share the same values. During all the time I was racing she was my guardian angel."
Corinna has proved herself once again to be much more than a trophy wife. Her undying loyalty to her husband may be the key ingredient which brings him back from the brink.

Secrets of Success
One cheat meal = 2 pounds?? *sigh*
Monday, November 26, 2012
Good day Sparkers,
I thought I had this. I really thought I did.
I ate so well last week and worked out 5 out of 7 days and on my rest days, I took long walks in the mall. I thought I could get away with one cheat meal. Just one. It was lunch, with my mom.
I was wrong.
I am going to assume the scale was slightly off this morning because there is NO WAY I gained 2 lbs from one meal. Mind you, it was chinese food... but a pound of fat is roughly equivalent to 3500 calories, which means that 2 lbs would be equivalent to 7000 calories!!! Even with the chinese food, there's NO WAY. I still have a caloric deficit every single day. This. Is. Impossible.
So. I'm up to 202 lbs and this is slightly discouraging because I planned on being at 199 by December 1st. On Friday, I was 200lbs so I thought I could EASILY lose one more pound by December 1st and now, it's 3lbs I have to lose.
I've rationalized that it must not be fat gain. It just can't be. I'm going to say... water retention from the mother load of sodium? I'm not sure.
REGARDLESS of what showed up on the scale this morning, I have planned a day of meals & snacks that fits right into my calorie range and my gym bag is packed and ready to go after work. I even took my vitamins.
Since this is a short weekend update, I'll just briefly tell you about how I slept for the sake of the Official Better Sleep Challenge.
It got massacred. On Friday night, I was exhausted and could have gone to bed at 9pm but my brother needed a drive out to the bars so I stayed up until past 1am. I was up early the next morning to greet my family who was arriving for the weekend. Saturday night I had a date and I stayed out late... was up early again Sunday morning because I had company over....
On top of that, I've had a splitting headache since Saturday that just won't go away. I don't usually get headaches.
*breathes deeply*
Today is the start of a new week and I will stick to my routine and get somewhat rested since next weekend, I have people over all weekend AGAIN.
I also had a mini fight with my brother and we haven't said a word to each other in a whole day. I'm usually so happy and positive so I vow to get back to having that attitude really soon.
Have a fantastic day everyone!

I know it's tough. I have been terrifiedof what my weekend indulgences will do to the scale and just like you I found that I'm about 2 pounds up which leaves me with 3 pounds to get to my next goal, which is 169. Not happy, but I know it could be far worse.. Especially since it was a whole weekend and not just a cheat meal. Don't get too down though. A lot of factors can account for a fluctuation in weight. Keep doing the right thing and I'm sure it will work out in the end.

A Rare Orca Sighting Off Kauai
Wednesday - August 10, 2011
For years, Hawaii fishermen have shared stories of killer whales sightings in Hawaiian waters, particularly off Kauai. Sure, some of them may be fishing tales, but chances are most are not.
Hawaii anglers are among the most knowledgeable fishermen in the world. Killer whales are not on the list of Hawaii's ocean life, at least not a resident population. They are, in the true sense, visitors to our islands.
Well, welcome back!
On Sunday, July 24, marine researchers taking part in a three week field project off Kauai got up close with a pod of killer whales. Marine biologist Robin Baird and several scientists with Cascadia Research Collective of Washington state were not expecting the rare encounter.
"We found a group of four killer whales, actually only the second time we've seen killer whales in Hawaiian waters in the last 12 years of working out here," says Baird, who spoke to me by phone on the research boat the Wild Whale several miles off Kauai. "When we first came across the group they were actually chasing a rough-toothed dolphin, but we weren't close enough to see whether they actually caught it."
Baird says the last time he saw an orca in Hawaiian waters was May 10, 2002, off Kona. He says this group was spotted midway between Kauai and Niihau moving at a high speed.
"We were able to get close to the animals after that and get good identification photographs of all four," he says. "Although we were set up for satellite tagging, we were not able to get close enough to deploy a tag."
But they did get close enough to notice that an adult female appeared to have a fresh wound from a cookie-cutter shark behind its blowhole. Marine biologists say such wounds are not unusual for deep-water species of whales and dolphins around the islands.
Baird says there are some physical differences in killer whales seen in Hawaii compared to the well-known populations along the west coast of North America. He says the saddle patch or the gray area below and behind the dorsal fin is very narrow on killer whales in Hawaii, and also not very bright.
However, he says there's no evidence of a resident-population of killer whales in Hawaii, and he believes this group was part of an offshore open-ocean population moving through.
"There's not a lot known about killer whales in Hawaii," Baird says, "but we have a small catalog of individuals that are photo identified by the distinctive markings, so we're going to be able to compare those photos and see whether they're animals that have been documented around the islands before."
Besides the killer whales, the team has encountered pilot whales, false killer whales and one morning a group of about 200 bottlenose dolphins. They also spotted four monk seals and seabirds nesting on Lehua Island.
This is the team's fifth field project working off Kauai and Niihau. If you're interested in updates on their field work and seeing more photos, go to cascadiaresearch.org/hawaii/July2011.htm.

Our writer plays "Choose Your Own Adventure" on the waterways of West Virginia...will she pick "Summer Camp Canoe" or "Olympian Death Wisk"?
The upper Gauley River in West Virginia is 48 degrees Fahrenheit and whipping along at 1,100 cubic feet per second on the day my raft flips on Iron Ring.
"We're approaching our fourth big rapid," warns river guide Ben Sutton of Class VI River Runners. My buddies and I have already managed to survive three huge sets of Class V rapids on this, Day Two of our "dueling rivers" package. Iron Ring, named after part of a log flume that was there in the early 1900s, is yet another monster.
When I first saw the Gauley this morning, it was narrower and steeper than I expected, with nearly continuous rapids and frequent boulders. The roar of unseen whitewater began to tie my stomach in knots. Even in a wet suit with polypropylene long johns and a paddle jacket, the water is shockingly cold.
"Oh shit," Carole Miller mutters under her breath. She's a 52-year-old grandmother with silvery, dreadlocked hair who can't swim but still goes white-water rafting every year. This is her second year attempting to shoot the run — she didn't make it over Iron Ring last year, either.
At this point, I know it's going to be rough. Throughout the day, Carole's been calming my nerves with pep talks. Now she's cursing.
Just before rushing down a drop in the river, our raft plows up on a rock. As we scramble to the nose of the raft on Ben's "high side!" command, white water lifts it front over back into the air.In an instant, I'm holding my breath while getting the wind knocked out of me underwater. My life preserver brings me to a chaotic surface, whistles blowing and people yelling. I keep my feet up as Ben instructed us (so they won't get trapped between rocks) and swim toward shore.
Finally reaching a rock, I hold on tight, shaking from the cold and burping up river water. Careful not to lose my footing, I slowly turn and face upstream to wave at the guide so he knows I'm OK.
And then it hits me — I'm OK. My worst fear of the day, "swimming" as they nonchalantly call it, through a Class V rapid, and I just did it unharmed. I smile, proud of myself, and cheer as I watch the next three rafts slide gracefully over the massive rapid.
The classification system for rapids ranges from I to VI and is based on difficulty and danger. A Class I rapid has light riffles, occasional sand banks and gentle curves. In contrast, Class VI rapids hold the constant threat of death and are better left to very experienced rafters. The long, violent rapids of this section of the Gauley, with big drops (our last trial of the day is Sweet Falls, a 15-foot waterfall) and fast currents (Hello, Iron Ring!) are littered with Class V ratings. They are extremely difficult to navigate, a far cry from the placid rivers I traveled on the canoe trips of my youth, a little closer to an Olympic-sized death wish.
Of course, Class VI River Runners realized a long time ago that not everyone is a 20-something willing to get her butt kicked by Mother Nature. The outfitter offers family-friendly river trips for children as young as 6. We eased into our adventure with a less-challenging Day One experience on the lower New River with guide Ashley Wry.
Less challenging — but still heart pounding.
"I know we hit a good rapid when I get that little high scream out of her," Ashley says after hearing me yelp on the umpteenth stomach-dropping pitch of the river. In the rare flat stretches, we play in pools of calm water while Ashley tells us stories about the crumbling riverside buildings, relics of the former coal-mining community. Floating down the blue-green river, surrounded by dense forest and stone cliffs, I imagine taking a company-issued bill to the Kaymoor Company Store and buying provisions for my miner husband.
These days, provisions are found at a timber-framed, open-air restaurant called Smokey's on The Gorge. Over plates of barbecued wild boar ribs and stuffed chicken, we watch the sun setting over the Appalachian Mountains and listen to Class VI co-owner Dave Arnold reminisce about starting the company in 1978 with his buddies.
"We ran the whole company out of one of those green, metal-Twinkie trailers," he says. His wife Peggy laughs, "His mother cried when she found out her son, who had a college degree, was living in a tent."
The trailer is long gone, and this month Class VI River Runners will be sending its 500,000th customer down the river.
Our last stop in West Virginia is the Canyon Rim Visitor Center. As I stand at the lookout point, I can see the New River winding through lush, green mountains to my left and the New River Gorge Bridge gracefully spanning 3,000 feet to my right. It's symbolic, I think, the roaring river on one side and quiet bridge on the other. This has been a trip where adrenaline and relaxation flow together as naturally as the river itself.

VICTORIA, TX (CNN) - A school district in Victoria, Texas is considering drug tests for middle and high school students.
School board members are looking into starting a drug-testing program for 7th through 12th graders.
The program would start this upcoming school year and would only affect students who are involved in extracurricular activities or park their cars on school.
The test would be performed by swabbing the mouth of the student.
The superintendent says he believes this is the best route to keep students from doing drugs.
Although the program would cost the school district around 20 to 25,000 dollars, parents think it's a good investment.

ARDMORE, Pa. — In an effort to resolve the controversy over whether certain expenditures made by a drycleaning business are currently deductible as repair expenses, or whether they must be capitalized and deducted over the life of the underlying business asset, the Internal Revenue Service has finally released new regulations.
The IRS's long-awaited expanded regulations for determining whether an expense must be capitalized because it betters or improves tangible business property or equipment, restores it, or adapts it to a new and different use, will have a significant impact on every drycleaning business that acquires, produces, or improves its tangible property.
In addition to clarifying and expanding the current rules, the new regulations create "bright-line" tests for applying the repair-or-capitalize standards, provides guidance for accounting for—and disposing of—repaired property, as well as clarifying other aspects of the repair/capitalize dilemma.
The new regulations specify how repairs made simultaneously with improvements are to be treated, and provide a "safe harbor" for routine maintenance expenses such as materials and supplies. The new rules are also must reading for landlords and tenants that must capitalize expenses related to leased buildings. And, because the new rules were issued in "temporary" form, every drycleaning plant owner and operator will feel the impact immediately.
Since the Reconstruction Era Income Tax Act of 1870, taxpayers have been prohibited from deducting amounts paid for new buildings, permanent improvements, or betterments made to increase the value of property. While this concept has been recognized as part of tax law almost from its inception, exactly what must be capitalized and what may be currently deducted as an expense has been at issue ever since.
According to the IRS, expenditures are currently deductible as a repair expense if they are incidental in nature and neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its useful life. Expenditures are also currently deductible if they are for materials and supplies consumed during the year.
On the other hand, expenses must be capitalized and written off over a number of years if they are for permanent improvements or betterments that increase the value of the property, restore its value or use, substantially prolong its useful life, or adapt it to a new or different use.
Unfortunately, the current rules don't clearly address even the core issue of whether expenditures should be deducted currently (e.g., as repairs or as materials and supplies) or capitalized by the plant owner or operator.
Under the rules, the cost of work performed to return property to a former condition without extending its useful life is currently deductible as a repair expense, unlike capital improvements that extend its life or increase its usefulness or productivity and which must be depreciated.
Similarly, the cost of incidental repairs is typically deductible. The regulations state that the cost of incidental repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life, but keep it in an ordinarily efficient condition, may be deducted as an expense.
Quite frequently, new additions are made to existing property. These additions are not replacement components nor are they repairs to property, but are instead newly installed components. These additions are required to be capitalized.
At other times, replacement parts or components are added. For example, a car's engine is worn out and replaced. This replacement returns the car to its condition prior to the deterioration of the part. It would be logical to consider this replacement as an increase in the car's value requiring capitalization. Conversely, it would also make sense to say that by returning the car to its prior condition, it had been repaired. Under this theory, all repairs would be deductible, no matter how substantial they might be.
The above interpretation renders meaningless any distinction between a deductible business expense and a capital expenditure. Thus, it is oftentimes insufficient to merely look at increased value as the determining factor for characterizing the replacement of a part or component. An increase in value is only one of many factors that must be considered to determine deductibility or capitalization.
The new regulations are the IRS' third attempt to provide comprehensive guidance under the repair-or-capitalize rules. They attempt to answer such questions as how to treat environmental remediation expenses and how to treat rotatable spare parts used in repairs. One significant rule change allows a drycleaning plant owner or operator to deduct retirement losses for building components.
If, for example, the drycleaning operation replaces the roof on a building and disposes of the old roof, it now has the option of taking a retirement loss for the old roof. Of course, the replacement must be capitalized, but at least a retirement loss can be claimed.
Another change involves the "de minimis" expensing rule, a rule that allows a drycleaning business to expense or write off the acquisition cost of property on his books for financial reporting purposes. This immediate write-off is available to a drycleaning business with a written policy in place to do that, but only up to a threshold or ceiling. The new regulations also include many types of materials and supplies among those eligible for the de minimis expensing rule. Under earlier rules they were not eligible, or only some categories were.

$80 for a cake? Yes, it's steep, we admit that, but listen to the description: Almond sponge cake soaked in rum syrup, frosted with chocolate buttercream & crushed almonds, and a crispy caramel-covered cake topper. *drool* Worth the calories AND the cost, particularly if you go in on it with a few friends for a special dinner party treat.

Residents in Hearne, Texas are still reeling and angry over the May 6 officer involved shooting death of 93-year-old Pearlie Golden, affectionately known in the neighborhood as Ms. Sully, who was reportedly waving a gun around in front of her Hearne home when police were called to the scene. After ignoring demands by police to put the gun down, witnesses say that the responding officer, Stephen Stem of the Hearne Police Department, shot Golden at least five times. Golden died from those injuries a short time later at a local hospital.
New information regarding that shooting reveals that Golden had actually fired two shots from her gun into the ground before being fatally shot by Stem, according to a May 10 report from The Eagle. The 93-year-old Golden had reportedly grown upset after the local Department of Motor Vehicles refused to renew her driver's license on the day before the shooting.
Golden's great-nephew, Roy Jones, was with his aunt the day of the shooting and was the one to call 911 after Golden became increasingly agitated over not having her license renewed. Jones' sister Theresa, said that on the day of the shooting, her brother and aunt got into an argument after her brother refused to give Golden the keys to her car.
At that point, Ray Jones told his sister, Golden grabbed a gun, which had belonged to her late husband.
Roy Jones told his sister that he then ran around the side of the house to call 911, hoping the aid of officials trained in defusing situations could calm her down.
Theresa Jones said that when police arrived on the scene, her brother said that Golden fired two shots into the ground and ignored Stem's order to put the gun down. Although earlier reports stated that Stem had fired his weapon at least five times, The Eagle reported that Stem fired four times. Two of his shots hit the 93-year-old and ultimately proved fatal.
Approximately 150 mourners and protestors, including representatives from Houston's New Black Panthers, marched on the Hearne police station on May 8 demanding that Stem be fired, according to USA Today. Mayor Ruben Gomez who was present for the demonstration at the police station, agrees that Stem should be fired and plans on making that recommendation at a city council meeting scheduled for today.
"It's a loss of confidence in the community. We can't have an officer the citizens have lost confidence in," Gomez said.
Stem was placed on administrative leave after the shooting. The Hearne Police Department, along with the Texas Rangers and the Robertson County District Attorney's Office "are investigating the case, which will eventually be presented to a grand jury."

Dual Careers
Allen's early years helped her to be adaptable. Her father was an FBI agent who was transferred often, and the family — Karen, her schoolteacher mother and her two sisters — moved with him around the Northeast. In 1976, after traveling through South America and the West Indies and doing theater work in Washington, D.C., she went to New York and studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute. Then came her breakout role in 1978's Animal House. "I couldn't have had more fun in a first film," she recalls. "It was a group of young actors, all of us in the same boat, and none of us knew what we were doing. But the [male] actors took me into the fold, maybe because I wasn't one of the girlie girls in the pink outfits, but Katy, the voice of reason."
Three years later, Raiders made her an actress in demand, and she went on to work with stars such as Jeff Bridges, Paul Newman, and Bill Murray. When she and Browne separated after eight years, in 1996, she scaled back on her work to raise Nick. "I never had nannies," she says, shrugging. "It was just me and him, and it was much more of a challenge to do the traveling involved in filming. I thought of myself as semiretired from acting."
Around 2000, when Nick was older, she reentered the entertainment world but found that directors were looking for the latest version of Karen Allen, not the original. "I was at the end of a period in my life, and it was really painful at certain points. I could tell that something had to shift."
When she hit her 50s, she had a revelation: "I was just kind of casting around, wondering, how can I be the parent I want to be and still do something creative? I'm not one of those people who think you have to be a perfect parent — you can be a 'good enough' parent, you can love and nurture your kids and also go out in the world and have a life. I felt it was good for my son to see me doing something I loved. I wanted to wake up in the morning and think, yay!" Then it hit her: One of her abiding passions had always been knitting, which she learned at the age of 5 from her grandmother. She enrolled in New York's Fashion Institute of Technology (which she had briefly attended during her college years) to learn machine knitting, which produces garments much more quickly than handwork does. In 2003, she moved permanently from New York to her second home in the Berkshires with the idea of opening a shop.
Allen's longtime friend Ken Regan, a photographer, says that this is typical of her resilience. "Karen was working less and less, and the roles weren't as appealing," he says. "And she's not one to sit and wait for the agent to call. She's so beyond that."
She found a small studio and started knitting cashmere scarves, sweaters, and hats in richly colored, stripe-heavy designs. They were such a hit that three years ago she rented a 500-square-foot store in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and called it Karen Allen Fiber Arts. Recently she expanded to a larger store nearby; her designs are also available in shops in 13 other states.
The key to successful entrepreneurship is to "find something you're passionate about," she says firmly. "I enjoy everything to do with designing — the colors, the yarn, even the mundane things like steaming a sweater." But when she started, she knew she also needed to learn the fundamentals of running a company, including inventory and bookkeeping, all of which she does herself. "If I didn't develop the business side of it, I'd feel like a victim, like I was waiting for someone to come along and save me," she says.

It's a Nelson - Honeycomb 1.1.1 RRs
By Peter Buckingham on Jun 16, 2008
What's a Nelson? It's a cricket term. It typically refers to 111 (one eye, one arm and one leg of Admiral Nelson).
So this post is clearly not trying to educate the unwashed masses on obscure cricket-lore. Today is the day the Honeycomb 1.1.1 RRs. I've already blogged about this a few times. But we are finally ready to release this to our customers.
The team has worked pretty hard developing this and digging into bugs and problems. i can confidently say that this is the best ever release of Honeycomb.
The software is available for anyone to download and play with. We encourage anyone to take this and contribute.

It was not the first posthumous release from Bob Marley and the Wailers, but it is the most definitive.
It was May 1984, three years after the musician's passing at age 36, that the compilation Legend was released by Island Records. The majority of the album contained Marley's hits from the late 1970s to early 1980s, including "Jamming", "Could You Be Loved", and "Redemption Song". Also included were three songs from the original Wailers (Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston), which were "Stir It Up", "Get Up, Stand Up", and "I Shot the Sheriff" (a number one hit for Eric Clapton). The album also contained one song from the 1983 posthumous album Confrontation, which was the song "Buffalo Soldiers".
Legend would go on to top the UK charts, and reach the top twenty in the US. It has become the second longest-charting album of all time behind Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, with a chart run of 992 non-consecutive weeks (285 on the Billboard 200). It was ranked as one of the top fifty greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone, and has sold over eleven million copies in the US alone, and over 25 million worldwide.
To this day, Legend is regarded as the album that have captured what has made Marley an international icon, from his songwriting to the soul in his songs, making it a great start for those just discovering his music.

Egypt will resume natural gas supplies to Jordan within 10 days after repairing a pipeline in the Sinai Peninsula that was damaged by explosives planted by unidentified militants.
By Summer Said
Egypt will resume natural gas supplies to Jordan within 10
days after repairing a pipeline in the Sinai Peninsula that was
damaged by explosives planted by unidentified militants early
Egyptian investigators and a technical committee are
currently examining the site of the attack to evaluate the
damage and the repairs are expected to start Tuesday, state-run
Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co., or EGAS, said in a statement
Initial evaluation shows that the explosions, which caused
no casualties, damaged about 12 kilometers of the 36-inch
pipeline in the Sinai town of El Arish, it added.
The explosions follow militant attacks on a regional airport
and security checkpoints in the Sinai Peninsula in recent
The pipeline, through which about 100 million cubic feet a day
of gas is transported to Jordanian power plants, has been
attacked 16 times since early 2011 when an uprising forced
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to resign.
The latest attack, the first since July last year, comes
after the elected President Mohammed Morsi -- who has the
support of the Muslim Brotherhood -- was ousted Wednesday by
the country's military after just one year in office.
The Egyptian army Friday declared a state of emergency in areas
bordering the Suez shipping route after a militant attack on a
regional airport triggered fears of oil disruptions and pushed
crude prices higher.

Bryant Set To See Career Out With Lakers
Kobe Bryant has put to bed any rumours about his future by signing a two-year contract extension at Los Angeles Lakers thought to be worth $48.5 million.
The 35-year old is now expected to end his career with the Lakers and will not be moving elsewhere at the end of this season.
Lakers call Mark Cuban's Kobe Bryant remarks 'inappropriate'
The Lakers heard Mark Cuban's comments about Kobe Bryant. They weren't amused.
The Dallas Mavericks owner said in a radio interview Friday that the Lakers should consider using their one-time amnesty provision on Bryant this summer.
Bryant has one more season and $30.5 million left on his contract. He is one of four players the Lakers can waive via the money-saving device after this season.
Kobe Bryant scores 40, Lakers hold off Blazers
The Lakers lined up alongside Kobe Bryant, or behind him, or something, when asked if they agreed with his optimistic belief they would make the playoffs.
They then backed it up with a gritty 111-107 victory Friday over the Portland Trail Blazers at Staples Center.
That's two in a row for the Lakers, reason enough to throw a victory parade in a season to dismember.
Kobe guarantees playoff spot
Kobe Bryant's always so conservative with his views. So meek. Timid.
"It's not a question of if we make the playoffs. We will," Bryant told Sports Illustrated. "And when we get there, I have no fear of anyone — Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Denver … whoever. I have zero nervousness about that."
He didn't mention the Clippers, but that's another story for another day.
Dwight Howard won't be traded.
Kupchak said that, for the record, Dwight Howard won't be traded.

Trade Rumours: Dwight Howards Future
Will Dwight Howard be traded from the LA Lakers less than a
season after arriving out west from Orlando?
The star centre remains one of the most sought after players in the
league, and teams are eager to add a player with his talents to their
roster. LA has surprisingly fallen out
of playoff contention, and is in need of a change in order to have any chance
at turning the season around.
Latest Lakers News and Update
Los Angeles
newcomer Steve Nash will be out of action for the upcoming future after he sustained
what is being called a small fracture of his left fibula. It is being
speculated that he will be out of action for at least a week and that he will
miss games against Detroit, Utah
and Golden State.
Steve Nash Out Indefinitely With Fracture In Left Leg
The Los Angeles Lakers were hoping that point guard Steve Nash would be a
big part of the team moving forward, however, it looks like the star
could be out of action indefinitely. Unfortunately for the team, the
Lakers have announced that Nash will be out indefinitely with a
non-displaced fracture in his left leg.
What can Mike Brown do for the Lakers?
People laugh when Mike Brown tells them he spends most weekdays in his office at the Lakers' training facility in El Segundo. They wonder what he does there, day after day while the NBA lockout drags on and on, with the 2011-12 season in jeopardy.

The Los Angeles Lakers
have had to replace two coaching legends in the last 20 years: Phil
Jackson and Pat Riley. The only time it's worked out well, the team
turned to Mike Dunleavy.
They're thinking of doing the same again this time. Dunleavy was
contacted by the team this week and is said to be on the team's current
"short list" to succeed Jackson, according to a source with knowledge of
the situation. That list also includes former Houston Rockets

President Barack Obama attended the annual White House Correspondent's Association Gala at the Washington Hilton hotel May 3, 2014 in Washington, D.C. The dinner is an annual event attended by journalists, politicians and celebrities. For Obama, this is the sixth attendance for him as president. Obama's normally self-deprecating was not present last evening, instead opted to go after some members of the Washington, D.C., cast who've complicated his five-and-a-half-year tenure in the Oval Office, according to CBS News.
This is part two (see part one) of President Obama playing America's comedian-in-chief Saturday night, and was supported by a real life comedian, Joel McHale. Obama and McHale were given high marks for comedy, most of it "poignant." Joel McHale, who stars on NBC's "Community" and hosts the E!'s "The Soup," followed Obama with his own roast. McHale promised his remarks would be "amusing and over quickly, just like Chris Christie's presidential bid," and he succeeded, according.
Obama took jabs at journalists, lawmakers, celebrities and -- most pointedly -- his own administration's botched rollout of HealthCare.gov. Obama made his annual obligatory "born in Kenya joke."
"While we're talking sports, just last month, a wonderful story -- an American won the Boston Marathon for first time in 30 years. Which was inspiring and only fair, since a Kenyan has been president for the last six," said Obama. Jokingly adding, "Had to even things out."
Obama ten took a poke at a possible GOP 2016 presidential nominee, Sen. Ran Paul of Kentucky.
"We have some other athletes here tonight, including Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Jamie Anderson is here. We're proud of her. Incredibly talented young lady. Michelle and I watched the Olympics -- we cannot believe what these folks do -- death-defying feats," said Obama "Haven't seen somebody pull a "180" that fast since Rand Paul disinvited that Nevada rancher from this dinner."
Obama weighed in on the Cliven Bundy cattle controversy, taking a shot at Bundy's "racism."
"As a general rule, things don't like end well if the sentence starts, 'Let me tell you something I know about the negro.' You don't really need to hear the rest of it," advised an amused Obama.
Obama ten started in on the Koch Brothers and Fox News in one fell swoop. "And speaking of conservative heroes, the Koch brothers bought a table here tonight. But as usual, they used a shadowy right-wing organization as a front. Hello, Fox News."
He then warned that when he leaves office, Fox news "You'll miss me when I'm gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya."
Obama made reference to his habit of reading ten letters a night from ordinary American. " Just yesterday, I read a heartbreaking letter -- you know I get letters from folks from around the country; every day I get 10 that I read -- this one got to me. A Virginia man who's been stuck in the same part-time job for years; no respect from his boss; no chance to get ahead," Obama said.
"I really wish Eric Cantor would stop writing me," said Obama to uproarious laughter. "You can just pick up the phone, Eric."
Perhaps the best joke of the night and the most memorable came at the expense of House Speaker John Boehner. "I'm feeling sorry -- believe it or not -- for the Speaker of the House, as well. These days, the House Republicans actually give John Boehner a harder time than they give me, which means orange really is the new black."
Obama closed on a serious note. "Tonight reminds us that we really are lucky to live in a country where reporters get to give a head of state a hard time on a daily basis -- and then, once a year, give him or her the chance, at least, to try to return the favor."
"But we also know that not every journalist, or photographer, or crew member is so fortunate, because even as we celebrate the free press tonight, our thoughts are with those in places around the globe like Ukraine, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Egypt, who risk everything -- in some cases, even give their lives -- to report the news," said Obama
He ended the evening with one surprising joke. "And because this is the 100th anniversary of the Correspondents' Association, I actually recorded an additional brief video thanking all of you for your hard work. Can we run the video?"
The video failed to play, and Obama asked, "What's going on? I was told this would work. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Entering from the backstage was Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "I got this -- I see it all the time. There, that should work."
Among some of the celebrities spotted on the red carpet, according to CNN before the dinner began: "Scandal's" Tony Goldwyn, Scott Foley, Joe Morton, Bellamy Young and Dan Bucatinsky; Sens. Charles Schumer, D-New York, and John McCain, R-Arizona; Attorney General Eric Holder; Cynthia Nixon; Patrick Stewart; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; Washington "fixer" Judy Smith; Tim Tebow; Frida Pinto; IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde; Katie Couric; Richard Marx and the Winklevoss twins. Also in attendance were CNN's Jim Acosta, Michelle Kosinski, Dana Bash and Brianna Keilar.

Get Your Tickets Here!
TUCSON, Ariz. - When the Arizona Wildcats take the field at Arizona Stadium on Saturday, a sell-out crowd of 57,400 could welcome them back home for the first time in 35 days, marking the beginning of a three-game home stand.
Arizona officials said Friday morning that approximately 4,000 tickets remained available for the Family Weekend showdown against Stanford, which is set to kick off at 4:30 p.m. and be televised live by the Versus Network.
Fans looking to purchase tickets are encouraged to do so in advance of Saturday's game. Tickets can be purchased by phone or in person at the McKale Center Ticket Office through 5 p.m. on Friday. In addition to individual game tickets, a pair of new ticketing options remain available, including Pac-10 Mini Packs and Single Game 4-Packs. Tickets can always be purchased online through Arizona's official Web site.
"We're glad to be back at home," head coach Mike Stoops said earlier this week. "We've been on the road for over a month and we've had some long flights. Having our own fans in the stadium will be a welcomed change for us."
Saturday marks and end to UA's 35-day stretch between home games, the second-longest span between home games in the nation. The Wildcats opened the season with a pair of home games, winning both, and improved their record at home to an impressive 9-2 mark over the last 11 games.
Along with Family Weekend activities, Arizona will honor nearly 200 student-athletes for their academic accomplishments during the last year. In the 2008-09 academic year, 199 Wildcat student-athletes achieved a 3.0 or higher grade point average. Of that group, 17 earned 4.0 GPAs, including Jeremy Samoy (football), Jill Malina (softball), Justine Schluntz (swimming and diving), Danielle Steinberg (tennis) and Kendra Walworth (track and field), each of whom will be in attendance.
The Wildcats will also honor current Dallas Cowboys star Nick Folk, who recently had his name displayed on the Ring of Honor on the west side of the stadium. Folk, who was selected to the NFL Pro Bowl a year ago, starred for the Wildcats from 2003-2006, becoming one of the greatest place kickers in UA history.
Others with a vested interest in the outcome of Saturday's game include representatives from the Sun Bowl and Rose Bowl, who are making their initial stops in Tucson as bowl positions begin to take shape entering the second half of the college football regular season.
Arizona players and coaches wrapped up their game-specific practice preparations on Thursday evening, and will hold final meetings and a walk-through on Friday.
Head coach Mike Stoops and coordinators Mark Stoops and Sonny Dykes spent their lunch hour with the on-air television talent for Saturday's broadcast on Versus. Quarterback Nick Foles and linebacker Vuna Tuihalamaka also dropped in to give some players' perspective for the crew, which includes Ron Thulin (play-by-play), Kelly Stouffer (color analyst) and Lewis Johnson (sideline reporter).
"We have amazing fans," Foles said this week. "It's going to be fun to play in front of them. I'm really excited to make my first start at home. Hopefully we can create a lot of energy for the fans."
For the Wildcats, seeing a stadium full of their own fans will be much-welcomed as they begin a three-game homestand.

Many of us enjoy the classic cubed steak. This is sometimes called "minute steak" since it doesn't take long to cook. Fried and served with gravy over rice or potatoes, it makes very good eating! This is also great fried and placed in a slow cooker, along with cream of mushroom soup and cooked for a number of hours. This method is very welcome when you have a long day of work and would like to have most of your meal ready when you return home.
I'm sharing a recipe for cubed steak that's cooked in either the oven or slow cooker called "Tender Cubed Steak". This is an easy recipe and is even easy enough for a beginning cook to prepare. This takes cubed steak that's coated in seasoned flour and browned. This is placed in a baking dish. A can of golden cream of mushroom soup goes over it, along with some water. This has two baking periods: 350 degrees for 1 hour, followed by 300 degrees for 1 hour longer. It's now ready to serve with rice or mashed potatoes. It's one of those "good and easy" recipes!
You'll see in the recipe that it calls for using meat tenderizer and salt being used in coating the meat. I find that because the meat tenderizer is salty on its own, I would omit the salt in the seasoned flour, as this can make the finished meat too salty. If you don't care for the golden mushroom soup, or can't find it in the stores, the regular mushroom soup will work equally as well.
This can also be placed in a slow cooker in the event that you would like to make this and won't be home to monitor it in your regular oven. Follow the directions as given in the recipe, placing the meat in a slow cooker. Combine the mushroom soup and water and pour over the meat. Cover and cook on "LO" for 6-8 hours. No matter which way you prepare it, it comes out tender and tasty, just as the title states!
While I'm on the subject of slow cookers, I shared a recipe for "Hungarian Goulash" sometime ago that's cooked in the slow cooker and is very good, too. Here's the link to the recipe, in case you missed it earlier:
Try this one whenever you would like something extra good for dinner, regardless of which appliance you use to prepare it!
- 4 to 6 portions cubed steak
- meat tenderizer
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can Golden Mushroom soup
Shake meat tenderizer over both sides of the steaks. Place the flour, salt and pepper in a Ziploc bag and shake each piece of meat to coat. Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown the meat on both sides. Place the meat in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the can of soup over the meat, covering each portion. Fill the soup can with water and pour around the meat. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hours. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake for one hour longer. Good served with rice or mashed potatoes. Yield: 4-6 servings.
To prepare in a slow-cooker, prepare as directed above, placing the meat after browning in a slow cooker. Combine the soup and 1 can of water and pour over the meat. Cover and cook on "LO" for 6-8 hours.
