You see, since we needed to take Mason back to Nana and Pop's house, I thought we could go ahead and go as a family and let Lil look at the "Krisskriss" lights. Bad idea on my part it would seem. You know what they say, "you reap what you sow" and well, I've sowed some cranky oats...
To that end, I'm going to post my hot fudge pie recipe, my sparklies and be off.
Hot Fudge Pie
(I typically double the recipe and pour it into two graham cracker crusts.)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Directions for Chocolate Pie
Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler (I use the microwave); beat in sugar. Fold in flour and salt. Add vanilla. Beat eggs; fold into chocolate mixture with pecans. Turn into a greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350° for 20 to 30 minutes. Center of the chocolate pie should still be moist when done.
This pie is ohmygoodness deadly and rich. Beware. ;o)
Today's Sparklies:
1. The Advent wreath in my classroom. Yet another reason I love where I work. :o)
2. On the way home this afternoon Lily asked, "May I watch Ralphie please?" Ah, a girl after my own heart. ;o)
3. I've broken out the Christmas socks. It was time.
4. Lil's gifts arrived from Magic Cabin today and I couldn't be more pleased. They are high quality and gifts she is sure to enjoy. :o) Now, I only need to worry about ALL of Brien's family...:sigh:
5. My house looks SO wonderful all decked out for the holidays. It just makes me smile. :o) I have such fond memories of begin pregnant with Lil this time of year, sitting on the couch knitting while watching "Ralphie", feeling all snug and cozy.
6. Studio time.
7. My birthday gift from Jen and family. I'll try to remember to post it tomorrow.
No milestones.
And now, I'm off. ;o)

Brazil and Mexico continued Group A action today playing to a 0 - 0 draw from Estadio Catelao in Fortaleza. Brazil, led by Neymar and company, had several opportunities but couldn't find the score sheet in a crowd pleasing match, that finished with a large ovation from many of the 50,000 on hand.
The Brazilians lacked fluidity and were without one of their regular starters in FC Zenit Saint Petersburg forward, Hulk, but were able to create a formidable challenge for Mexico's defense for most of the contest. Mexico goal keeper Guillermo Ochoa may have been the man of the match with his stout goal keeping which held Brazil scoreless. Ochoa made key save after save keeping Brazil's offense frustrated with one final save coming in stoppage time. While Brazil appeared dominant, Mexico held their own and played well enough to earn a point and keep pace with the Brazilians. Each team now has 4 points in their group with Croatia and Cameroon still looking for their first Group A points.
Brazil held the momentum for most of the match, passing the ball effectively and controlling the clock, but could not break through on any of their chances. "Phenomenal play" by their goalie Ochoa, as reported live by ESPN commentator Alexi Lalas, kept Brazil finding the score sheet and Mexico competitive throughout the match (ESPN live World Cup coverage).
Brazil were not always in the driver seat as Mexico controlled the momentum for a good portion of the second half, but did little to knock the Brazilians off their rhythm relying on several key saves by Ochoa. Brazil, who boasts the highest paid defensive line in all of soccer, were stout defensively for most of the afternoon, offering Mexico few opportunities to score. Mexico created several scoring opportunities, but the Brazilian defense was able to hold.
As a result of the 0 - 0 draw, Brazil and Mexico sit in first and second place in Group A respectively, with goal differential (Brazil +2 and Mexico +1) separating the two sides. Next up for Brazil is Cameroon on June 23rd, with Mexico playing last place Croatia.

|Can the Government Garnish My Wages to Pay My Student Loan Debt?
Last updated: October 2011
The following questions were submitted to John Roska, an attorney/writer whose weekly newspaper column, "Q&A: The Law," runs in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Illinois Edition) and the Champaign News Gazette. This article was published on August 31, 2011.
My employer told me they got something requiring them to garnish my wages for an old student loan. Don't they have to take me to court first? Is there any way to stop the garnishment?
Most wage garnishments require a court case. But not when you owe the federal or state government. The law makes it easier for them to collect from you.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) is our state's designated collector for many federal student loans. The federal rules that ISAC must follow allow them to do an "administrative" wage garnishment that doesn't require any court case.
"Regular" creditors, like credit cards and banks, have to sue you in court, and get a judgment against you, before they can try to garnish your wages. Then, under Illinois law, they can't garnish anything unless your take-home pay is more than $371.25 per week.
The federal rules trump Illinois law, and provide less protection. In an administrative garnishment, they let ISAC garnish either: 15% of your "disposable pay," or your "disposable pay" over $217.50 per week—whichever is less.
That $217.50 is 30 times the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. That's much less than the 45 times our state's $8.25 per hour minimum wage that Illinois protects. So, administrative garnishments start when your net's over just $217.50 per week, not that $371.25.
"Disposable pay" to ISAC is your total gross pay, minus deductions required by law (taxes, Social Security, and Medicare), and any health insurance premiums. Allowing the deduction for health insurance in calculating net pay for a garnishment is about the only thing that's better about the federal rules.
Take, for an example, gross pay of $375 per week, and "disposable pay" of $300. ISAC's administrative garnishment to repay your old student loan debt would get $56.25 per week. That 15%-of-gross is less than the net-over-$217.50 ($82.50). In a court case, under Illinois law, a "regular" garnishment would get nothing
At least 30 days before an administrative garnishment begins, you're supposed to get a written notice warning you that it's coming, and offering a chance to avoid it with a payment plan. Once the garnishment begins, it's probably too late for a payment plan.
That 30 day notice is also supposed to say that if you'd previously been involuntarily unemployed, you can't be garnished unless you've been back to work for at least 12 months. The notice must also notify you of your right to request a hearing, to dispute or correct what you owe, and to request a hardship exception. By documenting that a garnishment would create a financial hardship for your family, you can reduce or stop the garnishment.
You might be able to stop the garnishment by replacing your old loan with a new loan under the Federal Direct Loan Program. If your income's low enough, your "payments" on the new loan can be $0. A new loan also stops tax refunds from getting intercepted. For more information, call 800-557-7392, or go to www.ed.gov/directloan.

In a news release on Monday, Argentina's Museo Paleontologico Egidio Feruglio announced that in 2011, farmers discovered a "dinosaur cemetery" in a remote region of Argentina's Patagonia some 160 miles from the city of Trelew. The site contained 200 fossils, and in particular, the fossilized remains of perhaps, the largest dinosaur to ever roam the earth.
The plant-eating creatures, dubbed Titanosaurs, were about130 feet long and weighed in at an astounding 180,000 pounds. Imagine two tractor-trailer trucks in length, and fill them with 14 adult elephants. Get the picture? The enormous size of these dinosaurs helped scientists to come up with a name, honoring the giants of ancient Greek mythology.
The scientists were able to piece together the remains of seven of the huge herbivores. It is believed the giants died of dehydration together, perhaps being stuck in a mud bog. The team also found over 60 teeth from large carnivores, but no bones, suggesting the stricken Titanosaurs were eaten.
"Probably, they went to (eat) the herbivores' dead bodies. But the feast came at a price: The carnivores would lose many of their teeth as they attempted to bite the hard skin and flesh," said Jose Luis Carballido, a dinosaur specialist at the Argentinian museum.
These herbivores date back to about 95 million years ago, in the late Mesozoic Era. The Mesozoic Era is a segment of geological time taking place between 252 to 66 million years ago. It is also called the "Age of the Dinosaurs." Mesozoic comes to us from the Greek, meaning "middle life animal." This helps us to understand the time period because scientists have denoted three geological periods. The first era is called the Paleozoic ("ancient life") Era, the second or middle, the Mesozoic Era, and lastly, the Cenozoic ("new life") Era.
Not to confuse anyone further, the Mesozoic Era is divided into three periods, the Triassic (252.2 to 201.3 million years ago), Jurassic (201.3 to 145 million years ago), and Cretaceous (145 to 66 million years ago). So the scientists are telling us that Titanosaurs lived during the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era. It is believed that during the late-Cretaceous period, volcanic eruptions contributed to an extinction event where 50 percent of all life, including all non-avian dinosaurs disappeared.

Legal Representation in Hit-and-Run Accidents
You're driving down the street when you accidentally hit a car or a pedestrian. Panic sets in and, rather than stopping, you drive away. In this day and age, hit-and-run drivers often get caught. Traffic cameras, security cameras and bystanders with cell phones capture pictures of cars, their license plates and their drivers.
If you've been involved in a hit-and-run accident, don't wait until the police come calling. Hire a criminal defense lawyer who has experience representing drivers who are at fault in traffic accidents.
The Legal Consequences of a Hit & Run
Under normal circumstances, if you're at-fault in an automobile accident, there are a couple types of repercussions:
- Criminal: Police may ticket you for breaking a traffic law and causing an accident. Perhaps you were following too closely to the vehicle in front of you or ran a red light, leading to the accident. Or maybe you were doing something more serious, such as driving under the influence, drag racing or driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Depending on the severity of the accident and your crime, you face fines, a suspended or revoked driver's license, probation and even jail time.
- Civil: If you're at fault in a car crash, you'll be responsible for paying for repairs to the other driver's car as well as medical expenses if the driver or passengers were injured. Typically, your automobile insurance will pay these costs, but if you don't have insurance or you don't have enough insurance, you may be personally liable for the costs.
When you're involved in a hit-and-run accident, the criminal charges, in particular, will mount. You may be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Depending on the state in which the accident occurred and whether you hit another vehicle or a person, this may be either a misdemeanor or a felony crime.
If a person was injured or killed in the accident, you may also be charged with failing to render aid.
Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer Immediately
As soon as possible after your accident, hire a criminal defense attorney. Your lawyer will help you understand the legal consequences of your actions and can explain your legal options.
Depending on the nature of the accident and your actions after the accident, your attorney may be able to convince prosecutors to reduce the charges against you. For example, charges might be lighter if you turned yourself into police or suffered an injury in the accident that affected your judgment.

A great way to protect your privacy and cut down on waste is by recycling. The Upshur County Solid Waste Authority held a free shredding event for community members to properly get rid of personal information and business documents. This event helps protect against the growing threat of identity theft. Community members were also shown how to recycle correctly to help cut down on waste.
Organizers said the event is a way to help educate the public about the resources around them.
Burl Smith, Director of the Upshur County Solid Waste Authority, said, "That's the purpose of our celebration of recycling is to educate the people and inform people about what we do have available here in Upshur County for recycling. It's something free to everyone. We're doing it this year and we hope to do it again next year."

October 19th 2005 | Gaming
It's a curious direction that Quake 4 has taken this time around, with the heavy emphasis on single-player, apparently at the development cost of multiplayer, previously its very selling point. And while the SP production values are certainly expensive-looking and sounding, the actual combat mechanics feel a step behind the evolution of the genre, and not in an intentionally retro way.
Despite its shortcomings, Quake 4 is a genuinely fun game. It just won't keep you entertained for as long as you expect. It's also in the midst of some stiff competition, notably FEAR and Call of Duty 2 (and even Day of Defeat: Source, for that matter). There's a lot of shiny wrapping, but the gift inside is disappointingly small. Score: 8.2.

How to ease joint pain has been a real concern for the sufferers of this condition. Some people may have considered taking some food supplements in order to see whether they can reduce joint pain. On the other hand, medication has remained to be a cure to joint pain, but a problem that has always stood out is that to some people medication does not work properly.
According to medical experts, diet seems to offer that extra ingredient that mere medication through drugs does not offer. However, they advice that it would be good for you to first of all consult your physician before embarking on these alternatives. The following are some of the diets that are deemed to be the best in easing joint pain.
Calcium for Joint Health
It is difficult to talk about joint pain without mentioning bones; bones are the integral parts of any joint in the body. According to experts, calcium is not only important to building bones, but it also helps in muscle contraction. It is therefore imperative that for one to have a healthy joint life there must be adequate calcium consumption.
Due to this fact, it is very dangerous for an individual with deficiencies in calcium as it might lead the body using calcium from the bones in order to perform these roles. If this happens, bones will become fragile and this will eventually lead to joint pain.
In average, a normal individual requires about 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams of calcium element in a day. Some of the best sources of this calcium could be dairy foods, fortified foods and juices, and from supplements.
Vitamin D3 for Healthy Bones
Vitamin D is the normally best in promoting healthy bones as it helps them to absorb calcium. Some of the foods that are good in vitamin D include orange juice and fortified milk. Further, a critical form of vitamin D3 can be obtained directly from the sun or you buy a supplement of it from the supermarket.
According to evidence from one research in Australia, those women who took vitamin D3 and calcium during winter months had less bone loss. These physicians concluded that human body requires vitamin D3 for immunity. And if by any case a body has deficiencies in this vitamin, it will be difficult for the body to absorb calcium which is very integral to the general functioning of bones and joints.
Ginger for Joint Pain and Inflammation
For hundreds of years now, Ginger has been used in Japanese, Chinese and Indian medicine. Despite the fact that there is little evidence supporting this case, it has been claimed that ginger decreases arthritis joint pain and inflammation. According to a research conducted by British journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, ginger was found to act as an anti-inflammatory to joint pain.
Since then, there been vigorous research on the same and at least two studies have confirmed similar results.
Omega-3 (Fish Oil) for Joint Health
There has been a series of research trying to unearth the truth behind Omega-3 fatty acids on joint pain. Most of these research studies have shown that indeed Omega-3 fatty acids contain anti-inflammatory properties. Some of the areas in which a fair amount of research has been done are on the effects of omega-3s on rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Results from these studies show that with regular intake of fish oil supplements, there is an improvement in morning stiffness and joint tenderness. Another source for omega-3 acid is Fish oil supplements. The omega-3 fat acid that is delivered from these supplements plays a vital role in maintaining healthy cells all over the body, including the joints.
Further, these acids trigger the production of some chemicals that control inflammation in the joints, tissues and bloodstream. You can get omega-3 fish oil from canola and soya beans, walnuts and cold water fish like salmon and tuna. You can as well buy Fish oil supplements from the supermarket. However, you need to be careful when purchasing this Fish oil supplements in order to ensure they do not contain pesticides, PCBs, and mercury.
As we have seen above, to some degree diet can be used to ease inflammation on joint pain. However, it is advisable that at all times you are required to consult your physician for more advice on your general progression. On the part of food supplements, talk with your physician so as to ensure it does not interfere with your medications.

Renfroe was a first-team selection on both the 2013 Rawlings/ABCA NCAA Division I All-American Team and the ABCA All-South Region Team. Junior shortstop Adam Frazier (Bishop, Ga.) and sophomore relief pitcher Jonathan Holder (Gulfport, Miss.) were second-team ABCA all-region selections.
Renfroe, a consensus All-American in 2013 and winner of the 2013 C Spire Ferriss Trophy in Mississippi, sports a .357 batting average heading into MSU's third game in the 2013 NCAA College World Series. Renfroe leads the team with 62 RBI and 34 extra-base hits, including 15 home runs. He was selected in the first round (13th pick) of the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft by the San Diego Padres.
Frazier, who shares the NCAA lead with a school-record 105 hits, leads the Bulldogs at the plate with a .360 batting average and 61 runs scored. He has hit safely in seven of MSU's eight NCAA Tournament games, including a school record-tying 6-for-6 plate performance in a Super Regional-opening win at Virginia. Frazier was drafted in the sixth round by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
MSU closer Jonathan Holder notched his 19th and 20th saves of the season in State's first two NCAA College World Series games and ranks fourth with 20 successful game-closing mound performances. Holder has saves in all four of his NCAA Tournament appearances and has fashioned a 2-0 record with a 1.26 earned run average. In 32 appearances he's registered 86 strikeouts in 50 innings pitched.
Mississippi State (50-18) faces either Oregon State or Indiana Friday at 2 p.m. in a game that could send the Bulldogs to next week's best-of-three CWS championship series at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

Where to buy OEM wheel / rim
My front driver's side wheel/rim has a slight bend in it. It's also pretty banged up, so I'd like to pickup a good condition used or brand new OEM wheel. It's really hard finding the OEM 18 6-lug wheels for a decent price for my 06 V. I've seen several wheels on ebay, can those be trusted, anyone ever bought one from there? Does anyone recommend an online selling for these wheels, either new or used? Thanks in advance!

Re: Where to buy OEM wheel / rim
There are wheel repair outfits that can fix just about anything for a price. If you watch the classifieds here and on other forums, wheels come up for sale every few months in a wide range of conditions. I believe you can get just about any wheel brand new through a GM dealer but the price is outrageous. I have searched for parts on copartfinder in the past but never found a salvage yard near me that had a cts-v.

Re: Where to buy OEM wheel / rim
I bought one for a spare on eBay, $200 shipped, had a little bit of rash, but decent. Took me 2 months of looking to find one at a decent price. Try www.fixrim.com, I've used them, they are great, not sure if they have one in your area.

Re: Where to buy OEM wheel / rim
I bought one off ebay for about 160 and used it as my spare. I went through these guys for my wheels to clean up the curb rash and to get them powder coated and I'm happy with the work...they specialize in wheel repair. I paid 400 for the powder coating and repairing of the curb rash for all 4 wheels.

I just put new rims and tires on my car and will be selling my remaining 3 rims and tires. (I'm keeping one for my own spare.). They are factory rims in great condition (35k on car) and bridgestone tires at 50+%. Pm me if you are still looking.

Re: Where to buy OEM wheel / rim
I posted on a previous thread about www.bakerswheelrepair.com they fixed a bent and cracked wheel on my 2008 CTS Performance. They can even get you a refurbished, used or new wheel. I think they will even take the old one thats damaged, alsmost like a core charge. It was less expensive than buying a new one or looking at a salvage yard. I can get you more information if you want it.

One of the more interesting announcements from this year's NAMM Show was the introduction of the Casio XW P1 Performance Synthesizer.
The XW-P1 is designed to be a true performance synthesizer that allows users to create a wide array of sounds from many preset tones, including Solo Synthesizer, Hex Layer, and Drawbar Organ tones, as well as numerous types of internal PCM and Synth waves.
In this review, Nick Batt of Sonic State takes a deep look at the Casio XW-P1 Performance Synthesizer – and comes away impressed with the keyboard as a budget synth.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the few years, you'd realize that the Universal Orlando Resort is undergoing some major expansion. After the successful launch of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the them park giant has started to bite at the heels of their rodent competitors down the road, and is threatening to become the top attraction in Central Florida. Recently, the park has added a new themed hotel, Cabana Bay, and is planning other new and exciting attractions in the coming years.
Later in the summer, the park will undergo one of it's largest expansions yet, as Diagon Alley finally opens to the public, bringing even more of Harry Potter's adventures to life at Universal Orlando Resort. The vision for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley is unprecedented. The spectacularly themed environment, located within Universal Studios Florida, will double the size of the sweeping area already dedicated to Harry Potter's adventures at Universal's Islands of Adventure, expanding it across both Universal theme parks. It will create new experiences based on the signature areas of London, Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.
On Thursday, May 8, Universal Creative revealed a first look at the goblins that will be featured in Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts will be the signature ride of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley. It will be a groundbreaking, multi-dimensional thrill ride that will place riders in the middle of an incredible adventure as they navigate their way through the Gringotts vaults.
"Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts will be like no other attraction in the entire world," said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative. "From the moment we saw Gringotts bank in the films, we knew we wanted to bring it to life for our guests – and we're doing this in a way the world has never seen before."
Because of this new expansion, the park is stepping up its search for new team members for full-time, part-time and seasonal positions now available across the entire destination. Positions, including management roles, are available in areas such as Food Services, Attractions, Operations - and beyond.
New team members will be part of the 3,500 new employees Universal Orlando hires in 2014 as the resort opens eight new Universal CityWalk venues, the Cabana Bay Beach Resort hotel and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter- Diagon Alley.
Base hourly pay for Universal team members – including all those hired beginning today – will increase to $9 from $8 on June 1. The increase is part of Universal Orlando's ongoing effort to provide the best possible work environment for its team members. Base rates will continue to be reviewed moving forward.
As part of its recruitment efforts, Universal Orlando will hold a virtual job fair on Saturday, May 10. Qualified candidates applying online between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. for hourly parks positions, including those still available in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley or at CityWalk, will receive a call from a human resources professional that day to conduct a phone interview or schedule an in-person interview.
Universal Orlando will also hold an Open House Job Fair at Universal CityWalk on Tuesday, May 13 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. to recruit all positions for the exciting new venues already open or coming soon – including Antojitos, Vivo, Hot Dog Hall of Fame – and more.
Universal Orlando provides an exciting work environment for Team Members with great perks like free park admission, discounts, complimentary guest passes and more.
Applications are being accepted now with some positions starting immediately. Interested candidates can apply online to be considered. Interviews will be scheduled by invitation for qualified candidates.
Be sure to subscribe to this column, travel to some of the greatest local getaways around, all from the comfort of your desktop (or laptop, or PDA, or smartphone!)

Thor #339 - Walt Simonson art & cover
Thor v1 #339, 1984 - Bestowed with a new hammer from Odin, Beta Beta-Ray makes the journey back to his own people. Perhaps not surprisingly, Thor and Lady Sif accompany him. Walt Simonson makes up for his convoluted cover with a superbly drawn story. His opening splash reveals the battle-weary heroes, precisely framed by Asgardian swords and spears. On page 9, where Lady Sif is taken by surprise by outsized attacker, the artist uses more negative space to emphasize the setting's remoteness. Page 19 is the issue's high point, presenting Beta-Ray Bill and his hammer Stormbreaker in fully costumed splendor. This is number 12 of 41 Thor issues with Simonson art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Simonson or Thor issues. See also this blog's Walt Simonson checklist.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -
Becker O'Shaughnessey has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week for men's tennis, which was announced by the league on Wednesday. The Macon, Ga., native was vital in the Crimson Tide's success last weekend as it posted wins over Cornell and Harvard in New York.
Playing at the No. 1 singles position, O'Shaughnessey earned a 6-4, 6-4, victory against Cornell junior Venkat Iyer, and backed that up later in the day with a come-from-behind win against Harvard sophomore Denis Nguyen, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(2), to clinch the team victory over the higher-ranked Crimson. O'Shaughnessey also teamed up with senior Jarryd Botha to make up Alabama's No. 1 doubles team, collecting an 8-5 win versus Harvard to help the Tide claim the doubles point.
Alabama is back in action today when it hosts UAB and Samford in a doubleheader in Tuscaloosa. The Tide will take on the Blazers at 1 p.m. CT and the Bulldogs at 6 p.m. CT.

by Herman Melville
Moby-Dick Chapter 87: The Grand Armada Summary
- The Pequod moves into the sea around the islands of Southeast Asia, a long archipelago filled with little ports that can be used by whales and ships alike.
- These islands seem to Ishmael like a gateway to the riches of the East—although he's also aware that there are Malay pirates in the area that might attack the ship.
- Ahab doesn't let his crew land on any of the islands. He's planned to sail through the Javan Sea, past the Philippines, to the east coast of Japan, so that he can go through all the important whaling grounds.
- Neither Ahab nor the whaling ship needs anything extra for sustenance—Ahab doesn't land the ship anywhere to rest, and the whale-ship never carries any cargo except tools for, or the harvest of, the whale-hunt.
- The area around Java is a good hunting ground for whales, and soon the Pequod sights a group of them.
- Ishmael explains that sperm whales used to be solitary creatures, but since whale hunting has become more common, the whales have started traveling in large pods for mutual protection.
- What the ship has sighted is a long, crescent-shaped chain of whales along the horizon about two or three miles away; as the whales spout, it looks like a thousand chimneys spewing spoke on the horizon of a city.
- While the Pequod is stalking the whales, they spot a Malayan pirate ship stalking them.
- Ahab is driven wild by the idea that he's speeding toward his fatal encounter with Moby Dick both chasing and being chased, but the rest of the crew are just concerned with trying to catch up to the whales.
- The Pequod leaves the pirate ship behind and gets close enough to the whales to justify launching boats. The whales put on speed again, and for hours the crew must row with all their strength to keep up.
- Eventually, the whales are so frightened—Ishmael calls them "gallied"—by the hunters that they start to panic and behave erratically, either floating paralyzed or swimming in chaotic circles.
- The three boats (Ahab's isn't among them) separate so that each can chase a different whale.
- Queequeg throws his harpoon and strikes a whale; the whale plunges right into the middle of a group of whales, endangering the boat that's being pulled along behind.
- Queequeg steers the boat around the whales as best he can, while Starbuck uses his lance to stab at the whales that are too close.
- The boat carries three "druggs," which are harpoons attached to thick pieces of wood.
- When a boat finds a large group of whales, the harpooneer can impale several of the whales that aren't being chased at the moment with these druggs, and either kill or just wound other whales to capture and harvest at their leisure.
- The men on Ishmael's boat successfully throw two druggs; the third drugg is thrown, but the block of wood catches under a seat and tears it out, creating a hole in the bottom of the boat that they have to stuff with cloth.
- Queequeg's harpoon gets pulled out of the whale they're chasing, meaning that the boat is no longer being tugged along by the fleeing animal.
- The boat slides to a halt in a strange calm area, like the eye of the storm, in the middle of two or three square miles of frenzied whales.
- There's no space to row out, so the crew waits for an opening.
- While the boat sits motionless, young whales come up to it curiously, almost like puppies sniffing around something unfamiliar. Queequeg pats their heads and Starbuck scratches them gently with his lance.
- More intimate still is the sight the men have of the pregnant whales and nursing mothers with their infants.
- One whale mother is still attached to her baby by the umbilical cord.
- Ishmael makes the whale pod a metaphor for his own soul—even when the outside is a wild, fearful tumult, the center is calm and peaceful.
- From their becalmed place at the middle of the pod, the men in Ishmael's boat can see the other two boats still fighting some whales and using "druggs" on others.
- One of the other boats tries to attack a whale by throwing a cutting-spade at its tail.
- The whale breaks away, but its wound is deep and painful, and now it's thrashing around entangled in the harpoon-line, unintentionally throwing the still-attached harpoon around it and striking other whales.
- Most of the whale herd responds to this by drawing into a tighter and tighter group—with Ishmael's boat in the center.
- Starbuck, Queequeg, Ishmael, and the rest of the crew fight their way out of the middle of the group of whales, which now takes off swimming for the horizon, again, too fast to be pursued.
- The men collect one of the drugged whales and a whale that Flask killed and "waifed" (marked as his with a special pole).
- All the others escape for the time being.

The New Orleans Saints' offense improved Thursday night.
The selection of Oregon State wide receiver Brandin Cooks in the first round of the NFL draft injected much-needed speed and playmaking ability to New Orleans' offensive attack.
The Saints' offense is now quicker, faster, more dynamic, more versatile and more explosive than it was yesterday, a scary thought for opposing defenses.
Saints coach Sean Payton admitted wide receiver was an area of need for the Saints in this draft. But it was far from a desperate need. The Saints, after all, were ranked second in the NFL in passing offense and fourth in total offense last season. As long as Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Kenny Stills, Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson are around, they are going to score points and gain yards as well as any team in football. But rankings don't tell the whole story. Anyone who watched the Saints struggle against NFC defensive heavyweights Seattle, San Franciso, Carolina and St. Louis knows they needed to add a new dimension. When your tight end, even one as unique and dynamic as Graham, is your greatest deep threat you know you need help.
Cooks looks like the perfect fit. With Darren Sproles (Eagles) and Lance Moore (Steelers) now paying incomes taxes in the state of Pennsylvania, he will be the fleet-footed yin to the Marques Colston-Jimmy Graham yang on the flanks. Cooks' nickname, after all, is Sonic Boom.
"He's a playmaker," Payton said.
Cooks plays wide receiver, but he'll be a Swiss Army chess piece for Payton, the offensive version of last year's first-round pick, safety Kenny Vaccaro. I expect Payton to employ the 5-foot-9, 190-pound speedster in the same role Reggie Bush and Sproles manned in the Saints' offense.
My guess is opposing defenses will have a tough time keeping up with Cooks before the snap. His versatility is one of his greatest strengths. He's the "factor back" ESPN analyst Merril Hoge always talks about, Jon Gruden's "joker."
At Oregon State, Cooks did it all. He split wide and ran go routes. He played in the slot and caught bubble screens. He took reverse handoffs and returned punts and kicks. Saints fans should expect to see him in a similar role in the Superdome.
"He's a threat," Payton said. "He's a guy that can be used a lot of ways."
And rest assured, Payton will exploit every way possible to take advantage of Cooks' multifaceted skill set.
"I couldn't be more hyped to put on the Black 'n Gold next year," Cooks tweeted from New York, shortly after his selection.
The only person happier than Cooks might be Drew Brees. The Saints' quarterback now has a receiver that can separate from the league's stickiest defensive backs, something the Saints perimeter corps struggled to do consistently last season.
Despite its lofty ranking, the Saints offense lacked big-play, quick-strike ability when it matched up with the NFC's top defenses last season. Against the Seahawks, 49ers, Panthers and Rams, they notably struggled to stretch the field and gain yards in chunks. Cooks, who led all FBS schools with 32 receptions of 20-plus yards last season, should help rectify that problem.
"The one thing that stood out, he's a tough player, both physcially and mentally," Payton said. "He's consistent and very durable. I like his makeup with regard to his mental toughness."
Let's hope this move plays out better than the last two times the Saints traded up in the first round in the Payton era. In 2008, they dealt up for Southern Cal defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis and in 2011 they vaulted back into the first round to take Alabama running back Mark Ingram. Neither move worked. Ellis was solid, but far from spectacular. The jury is out on Ingram, who faces a make-or-break season with the talented, young Khiry Robinson nipping at his cleats on the depth chart.
The Saints have drafted only two receivers in the first round in the past 15 years and both picks proved to be relative disappointments. Robert Meachem (2007) and Donte Stallworth (2002) were far from busts, but neither turned out to be the impact player they were once projected to be. In fact, neither developed into a full-time starter.
Cooks was more productive and versatile than either Meachem or Stallworth, a pair of Tennessee speedsters who excelled primarily on go routes. While Cooks probably won't start initially for the Saints, either, he'll see action early and often in their high-powered offense. He'll be fun to watch on the fast track in the Superdome.
When the Saints realized eight years ago they were going to select Reggie Bush in the 2006 draft, Payton famously became so enthusiastic he designed plays on the napkins at Emeril's Restaurant in anticipation. My guess is he's doing the same with Cooks. And it'll be interesting to see what Payton cooks up for Cooks in the four months between now and the season opener at Atlanta.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 6 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Quote 4
I was pretty tired, and the first thing I knowed I was asleep. When I woke up I didn't know where I was for a minute. I set up and looked around, a little scared. Then I remembered. The river looked miles and miles across. The moon was so bright I could a counted the drift logs that went a-slipping along, black and still, hundreds of yards out from shore. Everything was dead quiet, and it looked late, and SMELT late. You know what I mean—I don't know the words to put it in. (6.22)
Yeah, we don't either. But Huck does. He really gets the natural world; he understands its rhythms, and he can even tell the time by how it smells. (We'd be lost without our watches.)

TigerCast: James Perry, Jason Vigilante, Peter Farrell And Mark Linnville
Critical Ivy League weekends are coming up for football, cross country and men's soccer, and TigerCast talks about each with football offensive coordinator James Perry, cross country coaches Jason Vigilante and Peter Farrell, and All-Ivy soccer standout Mark Linnville.
Perry is the coordinator for a football offense that ran off 29 unanswered points last weekend to stun Harvard and take over control of first place in the Ivy League. Perry talks about the play of both his quarterbacks, as well as his deep corps of receivers, and looks ahead to the Cornell defense. He also shares thoughts on Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews, who is making a charge at Perry's Ivy League career passing records.
Jason Vigilante is the new head coach of Princeton men's cross country, and he will be making his Ivy League Heptagonal debut this Saturday at West Windsor Field (see men's preview here). While he will be making his debut, women's head coach Peter Farrell is in his 35th season as head coach, and his teams have won five of the last six titles (see women's preview here). The Heptagonal Championships are considered one of the most exciting events hosted by the Ivy League each year, and while neither Princeton squad is the top-ranked Ivy school currently, the Tigers look forward to having the event on their home course.
Linnville is a senior back on a men's soccer team that will face nationally ranked Cornell this weekend. After assisting on the overtime game winner against Harvard last weekend, he leads a Princeton squad into Ithaca for a matchup of two teams with true aspirations for an Ivy League title. Only two points separate the top four teams in the league, and an outright win for Princeton Saturday would put it in terrific shape heading into the final two games.

Derek Nash
« Back
As leader of the award winning jazz ensemble, Sax Appeal, Derek Nash has played extensively throughout Britain for the last 20 years and made many radio and TV performances. The band has received arts council grants and touring bursaries to help them perform from Exeter to Newcastle, France to Venezuela.
Born and raised in Manchester, Nash is the son of BBC Northern Dance Orchestra arranger Pat Nash. His musical career started as a member of Stockport Schools, Stagesound, an award winning youth big band with whom he performed in two "School Proms" at the Royal Albert Hall and on TV. Graduating from the alto chair he studied acoustics at Salford University and returned to Stagesound, but this time as their musical director. This led to concerts with Ronnie Scott, Don Lusher and Henry Lowther. Nash returned for another "Schools Proms" appearance as the Stagesound conductor and also as a member of the newly formed Sax Appeal. He appeared both on TV and at the Royal Albert Hall the same year.
He also played and toured with Spike Robinson in Young Lions - Old Tigers, a band in the classic Zoot Sims/Al Cohn swinging double sax, front-line style. In addition, he worked alongside Be-Bop/Swing legends Hank Shaw and Dick Morrisey in the John Burch Octet.
Apart from the jazz scene, Derek is very active in pop, soul and blues music, performing and recording with Suzi Quatro, Basia, ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green and the Gambler-Soul Survivors. This has meant concerts alongside the Crusaders, 10cc and The Average White Band.

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon-Horseradish Cream
These tangy horseradish-cream-topped Brussels sprouts are just the thing to serve with corned beef and potatoes, or alongside a holiday ham or turkey. Look for sprouts with tight, firm, small deep-green heads; if they're still on the stalk, so much the better. To prepare, peel off outer leaves and trim the stems. Double it: Steam the Brussels sprouts in a Dutch oven instead of a saucepan.Yield: 6 servings, 1 cup each
Active Time: 20
Total Time: 20
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 strips crisp-cooked bacon, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan, add 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Put Brussels sprouts in the basket and steam until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Mix bacon, sour cream, horseradish, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.

The Airports Company of South Africa (Acsa) has made a clean sweep in the 2014 Skytrax World Airport Awards with Joburg's OR Tambo International, Durban's King Shaka International Airport and Cape Town International taking top honors.
The top three busiest and biggest airports amongst Acsa's portfolio of nine airports in South Africa "captured all the awards for the entire Africa region" Acsa announced following the 2014 Skytrax World Airport Awards event held in Barcelona, Spain on March 26.
In the international World's Best Domestic Airports category, King Shaka came third after Tokyo International Airport Haneda and Shanghai Hongqiao Int'l Airport.
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport was fourth, Denver International Airport was fifth and Cape Town International Airport was sixth.
While OR Tambo was recognised by Skytrax as the best airport in Africa, King Shaka International won the award for the best regional airport in Africa.
Cape Town International took the accolade for the best airport staff in Africa.
The Skytrax awards were based on a nine-month survey consisting of 12 million questionnaires, completed by airline passengers representing more than 100 nationalities and covering 385 airports.
Acsa said in addition to the top awards in Africa for its three major airports, Bram Fischer International in Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth International and East London Airport also ranked in the top 10 best airports in Africa
King Shaka International spokesman Colin Naidoo said the Durban team were "extremely proud" to have won the prestigious award for the best regional airport in Africa.
"This award and the many others that our airport has garnered over the past few years shows that we have a dedicated team that is competing with airports around the world."
"As a company, we continually strive to improve our customer service by ensuring that our airports unreservedly meet passengers' needs, said Bongani Maseko, managing director of Acsa.
The awards announcement came as South Africa celebrates 20 years of democracy.
Masek said the Skytrax awards were the best possible industry validation.
"It is particularly gratifying that Acsa has once again demonstrated its relentless pursuit of excellence by winning all three of the Skytrax awards available for the Africa region with six of our airports ranked in the top 10 in Africa," he said.

Revenues from LED lighting products in commercial building markets are projected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2013 to more than $25 billion in 2021, according to a recent report from Navigant Research.
When LEDs were first introduced for general space lighting they were expensive, not very efficient, and too dim. Today, LED-based lighting products can successfully compete with rival technologies on the basis of light quality, efficiency, dimmability, and almost any other important metric except for price – which is falling rapidly.
"The rise of LED technology will transform every part of the commercial lighting industry," says Jesse Foote, research analyst at Navigant Research. "While other lighting technologies have limited potential for future improvements, new designs for LEDs that push quality and efficacy to new levels continue to emerge from lighting labs around the world."
In the coming years, LED prices are expected to fall to a point where savings from electricity consumption will provide a short payback period that will encourage consumer adoption en masse, according to the report. This shift will be most dramatic in the share of lamps sold for retrofit projects, where older lighting is often replaced specifically to improve efficiency. Although Navigant Research forecasts that only 5 percent of lamps sold to retrofit projects worldwide in 2013 will be LED-based, that share is expected to grow to 40 percent by 2017 and 63 percent by 2021.
The full report is available from Navigant Research.

There's been some chatter about potentially trading Long while he still has value. Of course, he can't be traded until after he heals, but its an intriguing prospect. And it goes along with my thinking that the Dolphins would be relatively smart to trade up to get whatever QB they will covet - and allow the prospective team to pick ANY player (or two!) off the roster in trade - even Long.
Now as for trading Long, I actually find this amusing. Why? Because I can go back in history to 2008; Miami is sitting with the #1 overall pick. There was a lot of talk about which offensive or defensive lineman Miami might go with - and very little regard for taking a QB. Miami takes Long #1, and Matt Ryan goes 3rd.
Protect the blind side. You'll be set for years to come. The guy is a stud. A lock. He's going to be great. And sure enough, he made the probowl all three of his first seasons. But he wasn't protecting anyone, and we're already seeing the body breaking down. He had that shoulder injury that probably should have curtailed last or this season. He's had knee problems, and now back problems, and he tore his biceps.
And now at the end of year 4, we're talking about trading him. If all you got out of the #1 overall pick was 4 years (even if 3 of them were great), would you consider that to be a wasted pick?
And one last thing: with only one game remaining this season, why did the fins even bother to put him on IR? They've gone into games over the last few years with a roster spot open - why did they make a big deal of this?

Trade Jake Long?

Trade Long?, what for?...
They need linemen and perimeter, and also they almost always lose in trades... trade Henne instead
Trade him for....whatever you can get (I assume)
Can't trade henne. He's a free agent. They would have to sign him first.

July 2014 - With a brand new makeover to a consistent premium blend, Gurkha Cigar Group is proud to announce the reintroduction of Pedro Martin Ruby and Maduro Cigars. Gurkha welcomed Maria Martin and the Pedro Martin brand under the corporation¹s umbrella in the spring of 2013 and closed the year with the release of the Limted Edition 2013. ³The Limited Edition 2013 has had a wonderful reception by retailers nationwide,² says Maria Martin, Pedro Martin Brand Ambassador. ³Many of our customers have repeatedly asked for the popular Pedro Martin brands and now we are happy to finally be able to introduce them once again.²
The Pedro Martin Maduro and Ruby cigars are set to be re-released at IPCPR this month. These medium to full body, full flavor cigars include the traditional Pedro Martin blends with a brand new look and feel under the same watchful eye of Arsenio Ramos in TABASA ESTELI NICARAGUA. Set to incorporate the customary feel of old world Cuba, family tradition, and a matter of pride, Gurkha has paired with Maria Martin to honor the famed master blender of cigars himself: Pedro Martin, with a brand new band and box. The Pedro Martin Maduro includes a Mexican San Andrés Wrapper, Nicaraguan Maduro Binder, and Nicaraguan Filler to incorporate the flavors of spice, caramel, sweetness, and cocoa. The Pedro Martin Ruby includes a Red Colorado Corojo Wrapper, Nicaraguan Binder, and Nicaraguan Filler for another medium to full body profile. Both cigars will be available in the following three sizes: Robusto (5x50), Toro (6x52), and XO (6x60) with an MSRP set between $7.50 and $10.10 per cigar.
I am beholden to both Juan Lopez and Kaizad Hansotia for giving me the opportunity to honor my father through the Gurkha brand. I know dad is looking down and proud to see his legacy continue, said Maria Martin, Official Brand Ambassador to the Pedro Martin line. With all these Pedro Martin releases, Gurkha Cigar Group could not be more proud of the hard work and dedication that the company has pulled together to present these new cigars to both new cigar lovers and aficionados alike. Be on the lookout for these new brands and other traditional favorites from Gurkha Cigar Group at your local retailer.

As for Alex and Ani bracelets, Touché is the largest retailer, outside of City Creek, carrying the bracelets. Not only are these bracelets made in America out of recycled material, but the charms carry inspirational messages. Keep on stacking them to get the perfect care-free boho look this summer.
In addition to Vera Bradley and Alex and Ani, Touché carries Phynes handbags, Uggs, Sanuk shoes, jewelry, scarves, home and kitchen products, gourmet candy and fun stationary items. It's also the best place to find that perfect house warming gift or simply treat yourself.
But for England, it's not just about fashion and statement pieces, she truly enjoys getting to know her customers. "We offer an experience—that's the difference," she says. "I want everyone to come in and feel welcome."
Visit Touché at 116 S. Main Street, Bountiful, or visit their Facebook page for specials and updates.

Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin
Sku: 1368484*
The Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin from those years was made mostly from very old Mourvedre vines yielding tiny quantities of intensely ripe, concentrated fruit. Those fortunate enough to have tasted it never forget it. Truly, a 'grand vin.
Saturated black-ruby color. More, darker aromas of black cherry, cassis, spice, leather and game, has an almost medicinal aspect.
Very sweet entry, then backward and closed, almost to rough on the palate today.
Extremely concentrated at the finish.
A wine to be kept for your retirement.
