Healthy Cook
Fishing for Citrus
by Kate Sherwood, March 2010
Got a question or suggestion? Write to email@example.com
A spritz of lemon does wonders for grilled or broiled fish. But that's just the beginning.
Make these three recipes and you'll understand why the Italians and Greeks and Chinese and
Japanese—we could go on—love to pair seafood with citrus fruit.
Pan-Seared Wild Salmon with Citrus Salsa
Other sustainable fish that you can use: Arctic
char and Spanish mackerel.
- orange
- 1
- lime
- 1
- small red onion, very thinly sliced
- ¼
- jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- 1
- cilantro leaves
- ¼ cup
- canola oil, divided
- 2 Tbs.
- bell peppers, sliced
- 2
- zucchini, sliced
- ½ lb.
- kosher salt, divided
- ½ tsp.
- Freshly ground black pepper
- wild salmon, cut into 4 pieces
- 1 lb.
Pan-Seared Wild Salmon with Citrus Salad
Make the salsa: Segment the orange and lime (see box). Cut the orange segments into quarters. Toss the orange and lime segments in a bowl with the onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Set aside.
Heat 1 Tbs. of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the peppers and zucchini until well browned, 3-5 minutes. Season with ¼ tsp. of salt and pepper. Remove the vegetables and keep them warm. Wipe out the skillet with paper towels.
Heat the remaining 1 Tbs. of oil until shimmering. Season the fish on both sides with the remaining ¼ tsp. of salt and pepper and add to the skillet, skin side up. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook for another 3 minutes, or until just cooked through.
Transfer the fish to 4 plates, spoon on the salsa, and serve with the vegetables. Serves 4.

Pacific Cod with Citrus Dressing
Other sustainable fish that you can use: Pacific halibut and farmed U.S. tilapia. The cooking time for the fish is based on a 1½-inch-thick fillet.

- 2 cups
- broccolini or broccoli florets
- 1 lb.
- Pacific cod, cut into 4 pieces
- 1 lb.
- Terra Exotic Vegetable Chips
- 1 oz.
Make the citrus herb dressing: Segment the oranges and squeeze the leftovers to get 1 Tbs. of juice (see box). In a separate bowl, whisk the orange juice with the lemon juice, parsley, dill, sour cream, and salt. Set aside.
Bring the broth to a boil in a large, deep skillet. Add the broccolini and cook, covered, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the broccolini and keep it warm.
Reduce the heat to low and add the fish. Cover and poach for 2 minutes. Gently turn the fish and cook for another 1-3 minutes, until cooked through. Discard the poaching liquid.

Arrange the salad greens and grapefruit segments on 4 plates, top with the shrimp mixture, and garnish with the sesame seeds. Serves 4.

How to Segment a Citrus Fruit
1. Using a sharp knife, cut about a half-inch slice off
each end so that the fruit can stand on end.
2. Slice off strips of the peel, pith, and outer membrane, working from top to bottom around the fruit.
3. Working over a bowl, cut between the inner membranes to separate out the segments.
4. If the recipe calls for juice, squeeze the cut-off top and bottom and the leftover inner membranes.

Making a difference to Syrian refugees in Jordan
June 20, 2012 by Ned Colt
|IRC doctor Mohammed Al-Natour with a patient at one of the IRC's clinics serving Syrian refugees in Jordan Photo: Haifa Hussain/IRC
Mohammed Al-Natour says the reason he's working with the International Rescue Committee is for the simple reason that he likes to "help people." It's not surprising that the 34-year-old father of two is a medical doctor. Dr. Natour joined the IRC this year as the health manager of our two new clinics in the Jordanian border cities of Ramtha and Mafraq. He oversees the medical staff at the clinics, which almost exclusively serve Syrian refugees who've settled in the area.
Many of the illnesses are those a typical general practitioner might encounter. "We see common infectious illness — like colds and sore throats," says Dr. Natour. "But we also are seeing patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease." But there are other patients — who need more specific care — resulting from the yearlong conflict in neighboring Syria. In the week since the clinics opened, the doctor says a handful of patients have sought treatment for gunshot wounds and psychological support for physical and mental trauma they experienced in Syria.
Every day, dozens more refugees cross the desert border into Jordan on foot, fleeing fighting in their hometowns. There are now an estimated 30,000 to 110,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, putting extreme pressure on limited medical facilities. Dr. Natour says while there are other groups providing medical support, one difference at the IRC's clinics is that no one is turned away. The clinics aren't large — consisting of a waiting room, office, and exam room — but they are having an impact beyond their size. Part of the mission is to provide preventive education and care.
In the future, the IRC is hopeful the clinics will also begin providing psychosocial support for women and girls who've been traumatized by the violence in Syria.

CARBONDALE, Ill. - For the second time in four years, the Southern Illinois University women's golf team won their home tournament, the Saluki Invitational. SIU (626) posted four scores in the 70s for the first time all spring to come from nine strokes back and win the 11th annual event at the Hickory Ridge Golf Course Monday.
"I'm so proud of them," Saluki head coach Diane Daugherty said. "I thought 316 was a good score yesterday because it was wet and miserable weather. Nine shots back on our golf course aren't that many and they had plenty of confidence that they could make up the shots."
Led by sophomore Natalie Parker, all six Saluki golfers finished in the top 25. Parker (152) shot a career-best round of 73 Monday to climb seven places to finish third in the two-day event. Fellow sophomores Josie Lowder (78-79--157) and Kelly Gerlach (77-83--160) finished tied for fifth and 10th respectively.
Senior Stefanie Pate, playing in her final home invitational, finished tied for 12th place with a two-round score of 161 (82-79). Freshman Christine Zoerlein (83-79--162) finished tied for 14th, while sophomore Samantha Sutzer (83-82--165) finished tied for 21st.
Sophomore Abbigail Johnson competed as an individual finishing 32nd with a score of 168 (86-82).
Murray State (628) finished second behind the Salukis. Illinois State (630) followed close in third. Eastern Kentucky finished fourth with a score of 649, while Northern Iowa (657) rounded out the top five.
"This tournament just proves how important one shot is here and there," Daugherty said. "We've been one shot short of a better finish in some of our tournaments, so for us to make up nine shots and win by two is great, I'm very proud of them."
The Salukis will play their final regular season tournament in Springfield, Mo., on the Rivercut Golf Course, the host site of this year's Missouri Valley Conference tournament. SIU will take part in the Payne Stewart Memorial hosted by SMS April 4-5 before heading back April 17-19 for the conference tournament.

Countdown to a Canadian Space Oddity
By Karen Johnson
It's one small step for the International Space Station, one giant leap for the Canadian space program.
Later Wednesday, astronaut Chris Hadfield will take the helm of the ISS, becoming the first Canadian ever to do so. The changeover will be closely watched in Canada, where Mr. Hadfield's three-month-long stay at the space station has captured the nation's attention.
The 53-year-old veteran astronaut and Ontario native has become a social media marvel, garnering more than half a million followers on Twitter and 70,000 Facebook "likes" with a stream of stunning photos from space.
Mr. Hadfield's son, Evan Hadfield, manages the astronaut's social-media activity from his home in Darmstadt, Germany, sifting through emails and other messages from schoolchildren to centenarians around the world.
"Children write all the time. Elderly people write in, saying it's the first time they have ever used Facebook or Twitter, and that they specifically joined just so they could follow Dad," Evan Hadfield told Canada Real Time.
The astronaut posts photos on Twitter, and his son moves them to Facebook, Tumblr and host of other social media sites. "I call myself the janitor," the astronaut's son says. "I take care of everything. I make it all work."
Wednesday has already been a particularly busy day ahead of the ISS handover. By late morning, Chris Hadfield had received more than 5,000 messages, including one from Queen Elizabeth II, who sent her "personal best wishes, and those of all Canadians."
The astronaut will take over the ISS from Expedition 34 Commander Kevin Ford of NASA, Russian Soyuz Commander Oleg Novitskiy and Russian Flight Engineer Evgeny Tarelkin, who are set to undock the Soyuz spacecraft and head for Kazakhstan after 143 days in space. When they undock, Chris Hadfield's Expedition 35 officially begins. He'll be in control until his five-month space stay comes to an end in May.
Wednesday's transition ceremony, set for just after 5 p.m. EDT, will be televised on NASA TV, and covered by Canadian broadcasters.
"It's a big day for Canada," Evan Hadfield said. He plans to watch the ceremony from home, with his wife, Kata, and their dog, Kaya.

This in-focus selection of nine prints and drawings highlights images of saints from the late 16th through 18th centuries and celebrates the museum's recent acquisition of Guido Reni's beautiful chalk drawing Head of a Young Woman Looking Upward. Jusepe de Ribera and Sir Peter Paul Rubens are among the other artists represented.
Saints, found in almost all religions, are holy people bestowed with ritual devotion because of their exceptionally virtuous lives. Martyrs, known for giving up their lives for their faith, were the first saints officially recognized by the Catholic Church. By the 4th century, people who had confessed their faith not by dying—but by their honorable behavior and pious deeds in life—also began to be publicly venerated. In the 16th century, the Counter-Reformation was the Catholic Church's response to the rise of Protestantism in Europe. Its campaign also challenged artists to make sacred subjects more accessible.
Saintly representations, such as those in Visions of Saints, proliferated. From scenes of penitence and devotion to representations of mystical visions, portrayals of the stories of the saints provided moral archetypes on which followers could model their own behavior.
This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

College Hockey:Mavericks Win a Classic over Gophers
Bruess' Shorthanded Goal in Second Overtime Gives Minnesota State a 1-0 win
MANKATO, Minn. — It was a win almost six years in the making.
Coming into the weekend, it was billed as a battle of the goaltenders and it didn't disappoint. Minnesota State's Mike Zacharias and Minnesota's Alex Kangas went save for save for almost 100 minutes before the Mavericks' Trevor Breuss scored a shorthanded goal 17:36 into the second overtime to propel MSU to a 1-0 victory in game one of a Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoff match up Friday at Alltel Center.
The game winner was, needless to say, unexpected.
Referee Derek Shepherd hadn't called a penalty on either team since the second period — and not one on MSU since the first. But a too many men call with just over three minutes left in the second overtime put UM on its fifth man-advantage, and it seemed, finally, after 96 minutes of hockey, a victory was within their grasp.
But a Maverick two-on-one break less than a minute into the power play brought the crowd to its feet. MSU's Jon Kalinski waited with the puck until he was beyond the goal line, lofting a pass over a sprawled Gopher defenseman to Bruess, who roofed a shot over Kangas' shoulder.
The goal and win snapped a 20-game losing streak to the Gophers, dating back to the 2002-03 season.
"It was a great pass," Bruess said. "Jonny won his battle but he fell down. I couldn't believe he was able to get up after that. At that point in the game… it's just an amazing play."
"Kalinski and Bruess, two great penalty killers," Gophers coach Don Lucia said. "They made the play."
In a game filled with few grand scoring chances, perhaps the best two came on MSU penalty kills.
Minnesota had four power plays in the opening period but until the goal, the game's best scoring chance came in the first half of the first period. Bruess fought off a pair of Gophers behind Kangas and fired a pass to the Zach Harrison in the slot. Kangas made a clean glove save to keep the game tied at zero.
"When you kill eight minutes off in the first 20, it's critical," said Mavericks head coach Troy Jutting, who celebrated his 44th birthday Friday. "We kept our momentum going that way. It was critical that we didn't allow them to get any momentum going against us."
From there on, it was a tale of two goaltenders. Kangas made a number of quality saves in the second period, as MSU buzzed the Gopher net to the tune of a 15-4 edge in shots.
The Gophers never had a golden opportunity to score, but they had plenty of solid shots. MSU outchanced the Gophers 45-34 on the night.
"They had a couple quality opportunities," said Zacharias, who secured his fifth shutout of the season, a school record. "I just needed to keep it going no matter what save I have to make."
The Mavericks appeared to win the game nine minutes into overtime, as the puck appeared to slip behind Kangas and just over the line off a scramble in front. Never called a goal on the ice, the play was reviewed by Shepherd. His ruling said the puck was kicked in by MSU's Jerad Stewart.
That was the final golden chance for either team until the winner.
Afterwards, Jutting was careful not to get too excited.
"It's not over," he said. "That's the reality of it. It's not over by any means."
The game was the longest in the 13-year Division I history of Minnesota State and the first double overtime contest since the first round of the playoffs during the 2002-03 season, also in the Alltel Center, but against Wisconsin. The Mavericks won that one too, but it ended 6-5.
The two teams will play game two of their playoff series at the Alltel Center Saturday. Face off is scheduled for 7:07 p.m.

Zen X-Fi3 Lock-up problem with .ogg files?
I just purchased my new X-Fi3 from Amazon, and its a cute little player. I am coming from a Rockbox installed Sansa Clip, so a bit of a adjustment on the flowery interface, but its OK.
One major problem I am having, ogg files do NOT work with this player. Right when a ogg track is about to play, the player will lock up hard, and I have to hit the reset button to restart the player. This is bad for me, since I rip and listen to most of my music in Quality-1 OGG format, which is a tight, but good codec for listening on a portable device.
I assume there is a bug, and the firmware will have to get upadted to fix this, but anyone else use/listen to Ogg and run into this issue? I have a support ticket/email in with Creative support, so I'll see what they say. ( I know people don't bother with Ogg anymore as storage sizes are so huge, but I'm a annoying purist.. :P )
-- Stefan in Montreal
Last edited by chex; 02-12-2012 at 04:14 PM. Reason: Adding info about contacting Creative Support already
|[Remove Advertisement]
Welcome to ABi
I'd check to be sure your codec of choice is supported. Looking at the front page article I don't see Ogg Vorbis as one of the supported formats. In a quick look at the Creative site I didn't see it mentioned there either.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Uhhhhh. Well, that's really odd because the player is having no problem playing the file-format, except for occasionally but consistently locking up right at the beginning of playing a track. I also seem to vaguely remember seeing that this player did support Ogg, which is one reason I purchased it.
Thanks for the welcome! I've lurked here for years, just created a acct today so I could post.
... wow, after looking at the creative site, and my paperwork on the player, your right that it doesnt say it supports the ogg format. Well, I guess ill see what Creative Support says. :/

If the playing of vorbis files isn't documented I'm not sure how much help CS can be. They usually are reading from scripts designed to help with known or possible issues arising from the formats they support. If there's nothing in their scripts about a undocumented feature they may just tell you what you're using isn't supported and suggest you use a format that is.
I'd still contact them. I'm just saying don't raise your blood pressure if you're told they can't help. Who knows?
Best of luck with this and let us know how it works out.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
OK, Fair enough, and now that I am thinking about this more. Years ago, before I used Rockbox I remember shopping for players and Creative ones were always out of the running because they didn't support ogg, but Cowin and Sansa did.
Was just desperate for a fast player replacement since my Clip II halfway died, I haven't had time to troubleshoot it, and the BT feature on this player looked interesting and handy ( which it is... ) . I may have to sell it and get something else. more headache!
Yeah, suggest using a different format is not an option, I have a librrary of 20+ gigs of Music in Ogg, not switching just for a player wont support it.
why is it always so difficult to buck the tech trends.. *sigh*
Thanks for your advice and input.

You won't find any pretty school marms and singing cowboys in "Deadwood."
No heroic gunslingers on white horses, either, coming to save the day. So don't assume the evil hombres will ever get outta town by sundown.
Not in the brutal outlaw culture of Deadwood, a sagebrush Sodom located in the Black Hills of South Dakota and the dark, violent corners of David Milch's Wild West imagination. Milch is the acclaimed, Emmy-honored "NYPD Blue" writer and producer who wove anguished urban crime stories so memorably dominated by a volatile, tormented New York cop named Andy Sipowicz.
And now he's created a profanely vivid Milchian portrait of America's chaotic frontier past with "Deadwood," a hyper-realistic adult Western that mixes historical figures, fictional characters and a whole lotta cuss words when it premieres at 10 p.m. EST Sunday on HBO.
The time is 1876, shortly after the Sioux have massacred General Custer and his troops at the Little Big Horn.
Deadwood, sitting on land that was deeded to the Sioux Nation only eight years before, lies dangerously outside the law of any state or territory. And the grim, mud-splattered town has become a magnet for lost souls, desperados and desperate fortune seekers drawn to the Black Hills by fever dreams of striking it rich on gold.
It's a rough, violent environment ripe for crackpots and con men, as well as a ruthless entrepreneur like Al Swearengen (Ian McShane, "Sexy Beast"), owner of the Gem Saloon -- where whiskey, whores and gambling are the unholy trinity of malevolent Al's corrupt, big money kingdom.
Yep, Tony Soprano has the Bada Bing. And Al Swearengen, the twisted mister at the shadowy heart of "Deadwood," has the Gem Saloon, which offers a playpen for warped mischief and manipulation.
But hold on. Al's not getting a free ride for his evil intentions in "Deadwood."
Swearengen will have to deal with the resolute likes of Wild Bill Hickock (Keith Carradine), Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) and especially young Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant), a laconic former Montana marshal who's come to Deadwood to open a hardware business.
Premieres at 10 p.m. Sunday on HBO.

text: 30 June 2005 archive See all show photos THEY have a reputation for being cutting edge, eccentric and even a little weird, but the latest offerings from Viktor & Rolf are the sort of designs anyone can understand. Choosing to show the spring/summer 2006 collection in their showroom rather than on the catwalk, the duo presented polo shirts in plum, grey and taupe, burgundy cardigans, V-neck sweaters featuring dotted prints, smart linen shirts and rolled up shorts. A prize piece was the jersey hoodie with 'MONSIEUR' printed across the front and a lone model wandered around before the cameras as if to prove that the slinkily tailored suits looked as good on as off. The wax seal on the label had an old-fashioned, bespoke appeal too, as if Viktor & Rolf has shrugged off any attention-seeking antics in favour of winning the approval of the gentlemen.

Friday Fun - Womens Bike Polo
Submitted by David on
Friday Fun two days early!
Here is the story behind the video:
Guts and Glamour – Girls of Bike Polo Hit London
09/21/2011 – Two-wheeled excitement hits the UK next month, as the gutsy and glamourous ladies of bike polo take on London.
The Hell's Belles tournament will bring together the finest female bike polo teams from across the world together for the first time, as they head to London for the ladies majority tournament.
The ladies of the London Hardcourt Bicycle Polo Association strapped on their armour and took to their rides to create a video (http://bit.ly/hellsbelles) drawing attention to the exciting style and vibrant social scene surrounding the sport.
Swapping a horse for two wheels, Hardcourt Bike Polo emerged in 2003 and came to Europe in 2005. Today, the sport continues to grow in popularity, with thousands of teams around the globe joining leagues from Australia to the USA. Hell's Belles is presented by classic saddle manufacturer Brooks England - who has long been the sport's main sponsor.

If one of my allies has grappled one of my enemies, do I get any bonus to attack this enemy? It does not say so in the rules, but surely it must be easier to hit an entangled foe than a free one...?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Yes and no.
You do not get any special bonus for attacking a grappled enemy, but you get at least a +1 gang-up bonus due to your ally being adjacent to your enemy. Additionally, you will (probably) get an additional +2 bonus for attacking an Unarmed Defender, because a grappled foe is considered unarmed (unless they have some special edge like Martial Artist).
So in most cases you will get at least a +3 bonus, almost the difference between a hit and a raise. Not bad, uh? ;-)
Easier than what, attacking in normal melee with one ally? You still get the +1 Gang Up Bonus, but unless a situation grants an Unarmed Defender (it isn't always the case), you do not get that bonus.
It is easier to hit an entangled foe than a free one, but it's also easier to hit the entangler, who is presumably your ally and therefore you want to restrain yourself from hitting them. So the short answer is that it's a wash and therefore no easier to attack a grappled character than a character in normal melee with an ally.
Now for the long answer. In Savage Worlds, there is no mechanical benefit to attacking a restrained character; the attacker does not receive a bonus and the defender has the same Parry. Narratively, this would be because even in a headlock, the defender might still be able to wave their weapon around, kick, turn so that the grappler is temporarily facing the potential attacker, etc.
What about the grappled character having his arms tied? You won't find an answer in the book, but the official ruling is that the siutation may sometimes result in the grappled character becoming an Unarmed Defender, resulting in a -2 Parry. If the grappled character is using a flail, they can't do much with it if their arms are restrained, so I think that Unarmed Defender should be granted. If they are holding a bastard sword in their hand, I can't see them being an Unarmed Defender because there's a giant pointy thing between them and any other melee attackers.
You also deal with the typical effects of attacking an enemy with an ally in melee. This means that if you are making a melee attack, you still get a +1 Gang Up bonus for having an ally adjacent to your target. It also means that if you are making a ranged attack, you risk shooting your allies because of the Firing Into Melee rules.
Note that of course the GM could certainly adjudicate that extenuating circumstances grant a bonus (or penalty) to attacking a grappled character.

Princess Layouts
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Heidi Anne Giebel
What's more fun for any little (or big) girl than pretending to be a princess? Whether it's a Disney princess or a real royal one, scrapbooking our princess adventures can be a true delight.
Here are 10 of my favorite Princess-inspired scrapbook layouts made by you that really bring out our inner divas!
- Meeting the Princesses by PamFSU29: This bright and sunny 8 ½" by 11" layout showcases three of the Disney Princesses along with the page designer's child. Beautiful stitching frames the page, and the pastel lace and trim complete the look.
- ***A Whole New World ***The Color Room by Jennifer Y.: A visit with Princess Jasmine is the focus of this scrapbook page. One large photo clustered with two smaller ones creates a balance to this page.
- Pretty Little Princess by KristineB: The exquisite die-cut piece of patterned paper layered along with some pieces of complementary paper really give this page a delicate, frilly feel. A bird, butterflies, flowers and a lace bow are the crowning touches to this perfect princess page.
- Christmas Princess by Skyscrapper: This charming, whimsical page really brings the photo to the forefront with minimal embellishments. The white line frame and journaling on the right complement and keep the focus on the tiny sleeping princess.
- Today I'm The Princess by Theblingprincess: This lovely monochromatic scrapbook page is a tribute to a beautiful bride. The cut-out work layered over a contrasting patterned paper really helps the black-and-white photo to stand out and be the focus of this page.
- We were princesses by Eiramannod: If it were not for the photo you would never know that this is a heritage page. Filled with contemporary flowers, birds and butterflies, the photo on this princess page could just as easily be swapped out for one that was taken today.
- KM & WW : the royal wedding by Ozgirl: There is nothing more fun than a wedding, and when a royal Princess is involved the glamour factor rises. The scrapbook artist of this page assembled her four photos, including the Union Jack, into a top note shape for drama. Along with some flowers and a banner this is a flirty, fun page is worthy of any royal celebration!
- I Didn't Ask To Be The Princess But Somebody Has To Do It by Mkp: We certainly cannot leave out our furry princesses and this page is a perfect example! Simple yet elegant, this page highlights the endearing photo and the little crown on top of the pup's head is just the right touch.
- I Caught a Mermaid by Gabriellep: Lovely embellishments on this page surround this amazing photo. This whole scrapbook page screams out royalty and princess. From the filigree to the flowers to the castle tower, only a true princess could be showcased on this page.
- Every Princess Needs A Castle by Reneabouquets: This princess page truly shows the beautiful layering talent of its creator. The photos look perfect nestled among a gorgeous circle of pearls and glitz, while from behind, lovely patterned paper peeks out. The mix of handwriting and glittery chipboard letters really allow the title to stand out on this page.

Tokyo A-List Is Here for You, Lone U.S. Stars
The latest in the parade of Hollywood celebrities crossing the Pacific to promote their seasonal blockbusters is the vixen of box office action flicks, Angelina Jolie.
The actress arrived in Tokyo this week as a part of her global trot promoting her latest spy thriller "Salt." But unlike the celebrities who have already jetted through this summer, Ms. Jolie flew solo. In contrast, all four leads in "Sex and the City 2" shrugged aside some fairly scathing reviews to pitch up in Japan, while fellow cast members flanked Leonardo DiCaprio and producer Jerry Bruckheimer accompanied Nicholas Cage when the stars were in town last week for the Japan premieres of "Inception" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," respectively.
But Ms. Jolie still ended up with company: Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan invited a "big fan" to join Brangelina's second half on stage during a press conference in Tokyo Tuesday afternoon — up-and-coming actress and singer Meisa Kuroki, a rising star in her own right here but introduced as just another star-struck fan when she crossed the stage to hand Ms. Jolie a huge bouquet following a question and answer session with reporters.
Calling on Japan's domestic A-listers to do the bouquet honors for visiting celebrities has become a win-win promotional tactic: the movie houses get a local figure's two thumbs up, while said famous Japanese person gets an easy image boost when shot in the same frame with overseas heroes and heroines. A Sony Pictures Japan spokesman said the company reached out to Ms. Kuroki when they learned she was a Ms. Jolie fan. Earlier this year, Sony gave ex-first lady Miyuki Hatoyama a chance to meet another celebrity from across the ocean – this time in his current incarnation, unlike Tom Cruise, who she says she met in a past life. The company asked Mrs. Hatoyama to be the ceremonial flower girl when Hugh Grant was in Tokyo for the Japan premiere of "Did You Hear About The Morgans?" in March, the last time one of the film's actors came to promote a Sony-backed movie.
After Tuesday's greeting, the clearly elated 22-year old Ms. Kuroki, who has appeared in over a dozen Japanese television dramas and released her second album in January, said she was so happy at getting to meet Ms. Jolie her hand was shaking. Eager to share her celebrity meeting with her own fans as soon as possible, Ms. Kuroki posted a picture with her arm around her favorite big screen gal on her blog within the hour, and wrote "she is such a lovely person and kindly listened to my poor English…I'm off to record in such an exuberant mood!"
And if Ms. Jolie wasn't quite so overjoyed by the whole affair, her Japanese celebrity fan clearly left an impression. "I think she's extraordinary," Ms. Jolie said.

An early morning fire caused significant damage to a Hazel Dell house Friday.
Firefighters with Clark County Fire District 6 and the Vancouver Fire Department were called to a house fire around 3 a.m. at 10611 N.E. 20th Ave.
When crews arrived the house was engulfed in flames, said Capt. Scott Reamer, with District 6. About 20 firefighters set up a defensive attack to contain the flames and protect nearby houses.
The fire was under control after about an hour, Reamer said.
No one was reported injured.
The homeowner was at home himself when the fire sparked but he got out without injury, Reamer said.
County property records indicate the house is owned by Robert Bergdahl.
The Clark County Fire Marshal's Office is investigating.

Ken Bone IN HIS THIRD SEASON:
WSU head coach Ken Bone holds a 43-32 record in his third season in 2011-12, and already has more wins than eight previous Cougar men's basketball coaches, six of which coached at least two seasons.
Last season Bone led WSU to an NIT postseason appearance, making him the third-fastest Cougar coach to reach a postseason tournament.
He also has more wins than two of the last three head coaches, seven more than Dick Bennett (2003-06, 36-49) and 12 more than four-year head coach Paul Graham (2000-03, 31-79).
Senior Marcus Capers has played 107 games in his WSU career, while the school record is 127 games played set by George Hamilton in 1945 and 47-49.
Given Capers plays in all the team's games this season, he will play in his 127th game March 1 at UCLA and his record-setting 128th game in WSU's regular season finale, March 3 at USC.
Washington State was picked to tie with Colorado for 10th place (119 points) in the inaugural Pac-12 preseason media poll released by the league at the conference's media day in Los Angeles, Friday, Oct. 28.
The poll had UCLA finishing first with 14 of the 38 first-place votes and 421 points.
California was chosen second with 13 first-place votes and 405 points, followed closely by Arizona with 11 first-place votes and 404 overall points. Washington (fourth, 355), Oregon (fifth, 282), Stanford (sixth, 255), USC (seventh, 194), Oregon State (eighth, 188), Arizona State (ninth, 148), Colorado (t-10th, 119 points) and Utah (12th, 74) rounded out the poll.
The Cougars spent the majority of the summer and fall of 2011 giving back to the community, participating in various community service activities.
In June the team held three camps, including a day camp for kids ages 8-14.
In July members of the Cougar basketball team participated in Palouse Habitat for Humanity and Pullman Learning Center's sports week and in August the team made appearances at the Lentil Festival's street fair and parade.
The entire team spent time before the Cougars' Sept. 10 football game, signing autographs as part of `family day.'
Members of the team visited the senior center Sept. 16., the team held a free Kids' Clinic Oct. 1, members of the team helped with the YMCA's Keys to Success event and several Cougars have visited Jefferson Elementary, helping out in a second-grade classroom.
WSU welcomes back three starters and seven letterwinners from the Cougars' 2010-11 team.
Marcus Capers, Abe Lodwick, and Reggie Moore appeared in the starting lineup during the majority of last season, en route to a 22-13 finish and a semifinal appearance in the NIT.
Senior Faisal Aden, who started nine games as a junior, is the team's returning scorer after averaging 12.7 points per game in his first year with the squad.
Moore was fourth on the team with 9.1 points per game, including 10.1 in conference play.
Updates to the basketball practice facility were completed this summer as part of WSU Athletics' branding master plan.
The gym, located in the P.E. Building between Bohler Gym and Smith Gym, is now easily recognizable with the WSU logo painted on one set of doors and Cougars on the other.
Paint, including the WSU fight song, and photos were also added, along with changes to reflect the newly formed Pac-12.
The addition of the center-hung scoreboard in Beasley Coliseum, home of WSU men's and women's basketball teams, has been completed and is ready for use in the 2011-12 season.
Washington State completed the project in conjunction with Daktronics, Inc. of Brookings, S.D.
The new center-hung display features four LED video displays, each measuring 11 feet high by 15 feet wide.
With 10 millimeter line spacing, these displays will incorporate clarity and contrast of video images with the capability to present live and recorded video.
The displays are also capable of showing custom animations, vivid graphics, up-to-the minute statistics, player highlights and in-game advertising from sponsors.

the long slow run that is fast
Monday, April 23, 2012
Last week's long run was an incredible 16 miles. After the previous week's so-so run I needed this. I ran the first 4 with my sister, her friend, and my sister-in-law who is 33 weeks pregnant. We went slow and enjoyed some girl talk.
They turned right to a coffee shop and I turned left to run 12 more miles. Alone. I was actually looking forward to the alone time. And the whole thing went surprisingly well. I changed my route because I was so close to Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis and I wanted to check it out.
I love how Instagram makes me look like a good photographer.
I went down the steps and ran through the trails. It was peaceful and invigorating. So cool to be in the middle of a city and have such great nature.
After checking out the falls I ran to my brother's house and asked for a banana. I still had 7 miles to go and was hungry. They laughed and sent me on my way.
I use the mapmyrun app and I love the voice that announces mileage and average pace. I call her Siri's sister. My average pace kept dropping with each mile. I wasn't trying to go fast, I was just running what felt normal. I forget what the pace was by the end of the run. Maybe right around 9:30mm. The next day I was sore. And the next day and the day after that. I guess I pushed it a little too much and should have slowed down. I know it is the Long Slow Run and all, but I just went with what felt right.
So good to have a 16 mile run that felt great because after the 14 miler I was a little concerned with the distance and time commitment of training. It went so well that I was wasn't even nervous for 17 miles.
Yesterday morning a group of us met up again. We started the first 3.5 just like last week. All together, real slow and easy. Then my husband and I went out on our own. Just like last week, we kept getting the app announcement that our average pace was dropping with each mile. I said we needed to slow down and it felt like we did. I was talking the whole time and felt great.
We were about half way around our 2nd lake and it was mile 11 and I realized that we were probably further than 6 miles from home. I know, I know. How do I use a GPS app that maps everything and gives pace, but I didn't properly map out the run beforehand??! Well, I trusted my dad. That's a fair mistake! And I wasn't letting it get to me because when we hit 13.1 our time was 1:49. That is faster than my HM PR. And I felt great!! How is this happening?! Of course that negative voice jumps in and says: "Maybe this is your peak. maybe this is your best running and you'll get hurt before June." Shut up mean voice! I am a runner and loving it!
Long story, short: we ended up running 19. I fueled much better eating a Stinger honey waffle (holy yum!) around mile 9 and a mocha GU at 14. Still not a huge GU fan. At 16 I hit my "crabby wall" and sent my husband ahead of me. I was shocked by how good I felt throughout the run and even at the end once I got time to myself and back into that runner's zone. I was really shocked that my average pace was 8:49.
I think the biggest thing I've learned from this is START SLOW. I know that slow means different things for different people. All runners need to do what's best for their bodies. Starting slow makes sense. Warm up, right?! Well, I think I've always started too fast and then been zapped.
I am still shocked by how good I feel today. No soreness like last week. I feel ready for a marathon. I know I'll have another bad run before then and that's OK. It's good for mental toughness. Everyone that says training is a journey is absolutely right.

I love this! A year ago you hadn't even done your first 5K and now you consider keeping up 8:49 for 19 miles to be a Long Slow Run. AMAZING! It's so nice that you have a family that is so active... and that keeps a banana supply.
Happy Running!!

Nice work! Everyone's slow pace is different - I can't crank further down than 9:30 on long runs at this time and that's ok - I believe I have more speed yet to come.
The falls are a great place to run to although lots of hills around that area.

|Sport: Ice Hockey
|Year Graduated: 1972
|Year Inducted: 1993
After watching Dan Brady don the symbolic Scarlet sports jacket at the 1992 induction ceremonies, Tim Regan, the remaining half of Boston University's 1968-72 Hall of Fame goaltending tandem similarly took his rightful place among the all-time great Terrier athletic heroes the following year.
In three years of varsity play, the Regan-Brady duo compiled an overall mark of 91-13-2, captured a pair of NCAA titles, a single ECAC crown, and a string of three consecutive Beanpot banners. For his part between the pipes, Regan turned aside 1165 shots, while allowing but 108 goals in 54 games, for a stellar .915 save percentage, and an equally impressive 2.18 goals again average.
As a senior in December of 1971, Regan added a shade of blue to his familiar Scarlet and White uniform and joined the US Olympic Hockey contingent for the upcoming Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan. However, he returned to Boston University in March, and immediately found himself on the Boston Garden ice for the 1972 NCAA Championships. After keeping the Badgers at bay in the 4-1 semifinal round triumph over, Regan turned aside 39 shots en route to blanking Cornell, 4-0 and earning the Tournament MVP Award. The win provided the Terriers with a 26-4-1 mark and back-to-back national titles.
Although freshman were prohibited from playing varsity sport
prior to 1973, Boston University previewed the future when
Regan compiled an 8-0 mark, allowed but nine goals, and posted
a 1.12 goals against average, while helping the freshman squad
to a perfect 17-0 record.
The following year, he was one of nine sophomores who joined the varsity for what was expected to be a rebuilding year. Behind the steady play of Regan, who made 550 saves and registered a 2.82 goals against average - - second in the East, the club posted a 20-7 slate, captured the Beanpot, and finished third in the ECAC Championship.
Having proven itself the year before, the 1970-71 team took
the ice with great expectations, and, in what soon became
a tale of two tenders, the Regan-Brady rotation led the squad
to a 28-2-1 mark, its first ever NCAA championship, the ECAC
crown, and the Beanpot title. Brady, who played in 14 games,
allowed but 23 goals and posted a 1.77 goals against average.

Reviews for Spicy Barbecued Chicken
"Didn't change anything. Really liked this. We made it over Labor Day and it was great!!! We didn't find it to spicy at all, even my 4 and 8 year old loved it."
"flavor is great! I think it would really be good on wings."
"We had this delicious chicken tonight and it was delicious. I think next time I may cut back on the cayenne but it was not overly spicy for us. It was very easy to prepare and grill. We will be having this again. I highly recommend this recipe as a Volunteer Field Editor."
"Delicious! I did make a few changes since my husband doesn't like spicy foods. I used 1/8 t of cayenne in the sauce, and in the rub, I only used 1 t of chili powder and omitted the cayenne. I also baked the chicken in the oven at 400 for 25 mins. I baked it without sauce the first 10 mins, then basted the chicken with sauce and baked it the rest if the way."
"Very spicy, will cut down on the spice next time."

Spanish authorities have confiscated thirty-seven backpacks that were filled with cocaine. In all there were roughly 2,000 pounds of this caustic substance contained in backpacks in which each was fit with a tracking device to be located later by the drug smugglers.
The backpacks were found floating in the waters of a beach near Valencia. My Fox NY reported on Feb. 4 that the cocaine was being transferred from Malaga to be smuggled into Valencia. The drug smuggling attempt had gone bad when they dropped their stash in the sea with hope to retrieve it later on with the use of the tracking devices they were equipped with.
Authorities were lucky this time and were able to seize the drugs from the traffickers as well as those involved. Arrests have been made on five Spaniards who were involved in this operation. Upon arrest they confiscated approximately $97,000, jewelry, phones, watches and computer equipment.
There may have been many others of these attempts to bring this type of drug from one country to another. Setting up tracking devices with the aid of computer equipment and phones may have been thought by the smugglers to be a sophisticated and sure proof plan but it backfired. This botched job ended well with the drugs being confiscated as well as the drug traffickers involved.
The speed and detection of these backpacks will certainly save millions of lives from drug use, overdoses and deaths that are so likely to have happened if the substance was able to pass through undetected.
Cocaine is a narcotic drug that causes addiction and sudden cardiac deaths. It is a harmful stimulant that causes psychological dependency, lethargy, psychosis, depression, akathisia, and fatal overdose. "Physical side effects from chronic smoking of cocaine include hemoptysis, bronchospasm, pruritus, fever, diffuse alveolar infiltrates without effusions, pulmonary and systemic eosinophilia, chest pain, lung trauma, sore throat, asthma, hoarse voice, dyspnea (shortness of breath), and an aching, flu-like syndrome. Cocaine constricts blood vessels, dilates pupils, and increases body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. It can also cause headaches and gastrointestinal complications such as abdominal pain and nausea."

Jamie Neith's Reviews > Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior
Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior
by Temple Grandin, Catherine Johnson
by Temple Grandin, Catherine Johnson
Jamie Neith's review
Oct 09, 2010
A few years ago I bought this book without any knowledge of Temple Grandin, simply because I thought the back cover sounded interesting. I picked it up a few times but sort of only skimmed it until recently. I love the way she writes, very matter of fact and simplistic, like she is explaining very in depth topics so that a child can understand. I work in the field of Autism but I do not know very much about animal behavior so I was interested to see how she connected the two. This is a brilliant book that gives insight into the commonalities among those with Autism and Animals. There is a widely speculated connection within the field but one that seems almost taboo to explore...this book does so with sensitivity and a real sense of authority considering the fact that Grandin herself has Autism. That is not to say that the majority of the book is even focused on that topic - as it delves deeper into the behavior of animals...a topic which is unendingly interesting to me. I love it.

Larimer County Sheriff lobbying against Bicycle Safety Bill!
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Folks, please Contact us when you get news like this!
Find your state representative HERE
See the full bill HERE
Don't hesitate!, Email this to your cycling friends NOW!
Thanks to Bike Fort Collins for sending us this, here is what they had to say
"Hello everyone -
This email is to ask for your support again. Colorado State Senator Greg Brophy ( R) and Dan Gibbs (D) are sponsoring Senate Bill 148. The Bicycle Safety Bill clarifies rules governing bicyclists riding 2 abreast, staying to the right-hand side of the roadway when possible, and using right-turn lanes. Specifies that a driver must allow at least 3 feet of clearance when passing a bicyclist, and creates a limited exception to the prohibition on driving left of center to allow drivers to give bicyclists extra room. Prohibits harassment of bicyclists, with enhanced penalties for harassment when perpetrated by: driving a vehicle in a threatening manner, or throwing an object from a moving vehicle.
It just makes sense to me. But not to the Larimer County Sheriff's department; they are lobbying against the bill. Unbelievable! I am asking that all of you support for Senate Bill 148. Our representatives may vote on this bill as soon as February 16 so I am asking you to contact your state representative now. Don't wait, please do it now!
SB 148 creates safe and common sense rules for bicycles and motor vehicles on public roads. Here are the highlights (full text of SB 148 is attached).
The bill gives motorists more freedom to safely pass a bicyclist by allowing them to cross the centerline in a no-passing zone when safe to do so. By allowing three feet passing distance, it creates a safer environment on the road.
Clarifying language gives bicyclists the ability to ride as far right as they determine to be safe. Also on one-way roads with more than one lane, bicyclists may also ride as far left as they determine to be safe.
The bill clarifies that side-by-side bicyclists are not impeding the normal and reasonable movement of traffic if there is no conflicting traffic and if the lane is too narrow for a motor vehicle and bicyclist to travel safely side by side.
Language in the bill makes throwing an object towards a bicyclist a class 2 misdemeanor and driving towards a bicyclist in a dangerous manner a careless driving offense.
Bill Sponsors
Sponsor: Greg Brophy (R)
Co-sponsor: Dan Gibbs (D)
House of Representatives
Sponsor: Michael Merrifield (D)
Co-sponsors: Terrance Carroll (D), Andy Kerr (D), Don Marostica (R), Frank McNulty (R)
Please contact your STATE representatives and urge them to support SB 148. We (you) flooded them with email messages for cell phone usage, we can do it again for this bill."

The death of Robin Williams on August 11, 2014 by apparent suicide has left the world in a state of shock and grief. The man who spent his life giving us laughter and smiles has suddenly and silently extinguished that light of humor that we have always associates with him.
The laughter began full force in 1978 with Williams bringing Mork from Ork into our living rooms and into our hearts. His infectious humor and zany personality captured our attention from the moment he said "nanu nanu".
From Good Morning, Vietnam in 1987 to current projects that we will later watch him perform, Williams has commanded the silver screen with not only his talent and gift for laughter, but also with his own personal touch of creativity. It has been said many times over the years that he requires a certain percentage of creative control; so that he can stretch his humorous mind and wings and bring more life to the character he is portraying than what is solely on a script.
Robin Williams wasn't just an actor and comedienne; he was an iconic part of the 20th and 21st century. He brought us films that made us laugh, cry and ponder realistic issues that people in the world deal with every day. His gift to the world was legendary and he will forever live on as one of the greatest actors of all times.
Let's reflect on Williams' immense quantity of projects. What was your favorite movie or TV show? Tell us in the comments.
On August 11, 2014 a true Hollywood and beyond star fell from the sky and left us pondering how this could happen. The world became a little less funny and lighthearted as we wonder if this was preventable.
If you or someone you know is suffering from severe depression or has a suicidal thought or action, please reach out and get them help. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a mental health checkup. We don't know if Robin Williams could have been saved if he or a loved one sought further mental help, and that is probably the saddest part of this whole situation.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255). No matter what problems you are dealing with, we want to help you find a reason to keep living. By calling, you'll be connected to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center in your area, anytime 24/7.

It has been said that shell collecting is the second most popular collecting hobby, after postage stamps. Those who journey to the sea shore, for an hour or a week, find it hard to resist reaching down and picking up a shell or two to serve as a reminder of the joy they felt while strolling along the water's edge. And then there are those who go out of their way, unable to help themselves, to find that one particular shell.
Seashell Festival
The Space Coast has 72 miles of coastline and the shells most often found on it's beaches are common varieties. The Astronaut Trail Shell Club, a group of local enthusiasts, hosts a Seashell Festival every year, that allows attendees the opportunity to learn about and view shells that are not found locally. That show will be held Jan. 10-12, 2014, at Melbourne Auditorium. Scientific exhibits, which include rare and unusual shells, will more than satisfy those with a thirst for shell knowledge. Dealers will have unique collectible shells for the more serious collector. And if finding some interesting pieces to lend a tropical flair for the home interests guests, then they will delight in the multitude of shells, driftwood, and sea glass available for purchase.
Art and craft vendors will also be represented. The show will be a good place to get ideas for anyone wanting to create something with their beach finds, and it is also an opportunity to get information on becoming an exhibitor sometime in the future. The show will be held at Melbourne Auditorium, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost per person will be $4 for adults, children 12 and under are free.
Astronaut Trail Shell Club
Founded in 1966, the Astronaut Trail Shell Club provides a place for those who have a special interest in seashells, whether that interest is casual, professional, or artistic. The club meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month, 7:30 p.m., at the Satellite Beach Community Center, 565 Cassia Boulevard, in Satellite Beach. The club web page says their " Activities include amateur and professional presentations on shells, collecting field trips for marine-land-freshwater-fossil shells and information exchange related to molluscs. "
Membership costs $12.50 per year for individual or $15.00 per year for a family. Newsletters are published and exchanged with other shell clubs and museums. Each year, the club awards educational grants for malacological research. Three members offer email addresses for those wishing to know more about the club, show or grants:
Alan Gettleman - firstname.lastname@example.com
Emilio Power - firstname.lastname@example.com
Doris Underwood - email@example.com
Conchologists of America
The Astronaut Trail Shell Club is a participating member of the Conchologists of America Club. The COA Club seeks to help shell clubs around the world communicate with each other.
Those looking for a shell club to join can find one on the COA web site. There are currently 37 registered shell clubs around the world:
26 in North America
1 in South America (Brazil)
6 in Europe
1 in South Africa
2 in Asia (China and Guam)
1 in New Zealand
Florida shell shows
If getting to the festival in Melbourne isn't possible, there are more opportunities coming up:
- Jan 18-19: Pompano Beach - Emma Lou Olsen Civic Center, 1801 Northeast 6th St, Pompano Beach. Web page available.
- Feb. 14-16: Sarasota - Bradenton Area Convention Center, 1 Haben Blvd., Sarasota, FL. Web page available.
- Feb. 22-23, 2014: St Petersburg - Seminole Recreation Center, 9100 113th St. N., Seminole, FL
- Mar. 6 - 8, 2014 - 77th Sanibel Shell Festival, Sanibel Community Center, 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel Island, FL
- Mar. 13-15: Marco Island - United Church of Marco Island, 320 North Barfield, Marco Island
Shell collectors will be the first to say that pristine sandy beaches aren't always the most ideal locations to find unusual shells. On the Space Coast, there can be few or even no shells for months at a time. In contrast, the islands off Florida's west coast have piles of shells that sometimes have to be bulldozed off the island's two lane roads. Take time to visit the Seashell Festival and learn where to go, when to go, and what you'll find if you'd like to pick up some of those beautiful gifts from the sea.
