Hong Kong Stand Up Paddle Board Association, ( HKSUPBA ) first established in Hong Kong 2011. Our aim is to provide and support enthusiast paddlers to further their interest with knowledge, products, courses / competition information and to promote and encourage participation.
Through the efforts of the committee members, we have moved forward and have setup an association to provide rules, regulation and training in the sport and to give our full support to our affiliated SUP members and to all the clubs involved and help guide those to a more competitive level throughout the county and perhaps represent Hong Kong competing in international races with athletics from around the world.
HKSUPBA have held many instructor courses last year and are constantly working closely with many different communities and organizations in providing beginner / competitors training as well as SUP instructors training. Due to the ever growing popularity of the SUP sport, HKSUPBA are eager in facilitating experienced SUP personal to their next level.
HKSUPBA are very proud to have achieved and officially became the 76th nation member of the International Surfing Association, which is an international organization recognized by International Olympic Committee ( IOC ).
Stand Up Paddling, ( SUP ) was invented in Hawaii and is said to have started when surfing instructors in Hawaii stood up on their boards to photograph their clients. The technique was also used to get a good view of the incoming sets of waves, and keep an eye on their students from a higher point.
SUP has an advantage as paddlers can paddle further into the ocean than the typical surfing and one can enjoy the wondrous of the oceanic view and its surrounding. SUP boarding offers surfers the ability to catch more waves in a set, as well as offering a better view of incoming sets of waves than the most traditional surfing.
Stand Up Paddling is a very versatile sport and it is accessible to just about anyone with any athletic inclination and is getting more and more popular all over the world. It has become a fast-growing water sport that delivers a full-body workout along with core strength , balance and endurance. It is proving to be quite significant where Health & Fitness are concerned and the individual can enjoy and achieve this in their local rivers , lake and canals.

curcumin, bioavailability, nano-particle colloidal dispersion, absorption efficiency
Curcumin is a polyphenol that is commonly used for its perceived health benefits. However, the absorption efficacy of curcumin is too low to exhibit beneficial effects. We have successfully developed a highly absorptive curcumin dispersed with colloidal nano-particles, and named it THERACURMIN. The absorption efficacy of THERACURMIN was investigated and compared with that of curcumin powder. The area under the blood concentration–time curve (AUC) after the oral administration of THERACURMIN was found to be more than 40-fold higher than that of curcumin powder in rats. Then, healthy human volunteers were administered orally 30 mg of THERACURMIN or curcumin powder. The AUC of THERACURMIN was 27-fold higher than that of curcumin powder. In addition, THERACURMIN exhibited an inhibitory action against alcohol intoxication after drinking in humans, as evidenced by the reduced acetaldehyde concentration of the blood. These findings demonstrate that THERACURMIN shows a much higher bioavailability than currently available preparations. Thus, THERACURMIN may be useful to exert clinical benefits in humans at a lower dosage.

Phil Jackson made his first big decision as the New York Knicks GM on Monday. He fired Mike Woodson and the rest of the coaching staff after the team underachieved to a (37-45) record. It was clear that Mike Woodson would not return as the New York Knicks coach once they fell out of the race for the playoffs.
Woodson and his staff have been relieved of their duties according, the Knicks announced.
— Al Iannazzone (@Al_Iannazzone) April 21, 2014
According to Sportsline.com, Jackson stated that he has a "tremendous amount of respect for Mike Woodson and the entire coaching staff." However, this New York Knicks team was doomed from the very start.
NBA Playoffs: Most intriguing players of the first round.
After winning 54 games and earning the 2nd seed in 2013, the high hopes were dashed early. By the fourth game, Tyson Chandler was injured with a broken leg. The Knicks proceeded to lose 10 straight games and were (3-13) on Dec. 1.
The early part of the season was marred by blowout losses and crushing last second defeats. It was like the Knicks were finding different way to lose. When a team under performs, there always has to be a fall guy, and it's usually the head coach that goes first.
Now, the Phil Jackson era really begins in earnest. Early indications are that Phil will offer the coaching job to former player, Steve Kerr. Although he was a general manager for the Phoenix Suns in the past, Kerr has never been a head coach on any level.

Samsung Galaxy S II Plus i9105 launched in Europe. Also visits the FCC
About a week after it was launched in South East Asia, the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus i9105 is now available in Europe, too. You can buy the new smartphone in at least three European countries: Germany, Finland, and Romania.
In Germany, Amazon is selling the Galaxy S II Plus for €364 (about $493) – unlocked, of course.
The handset's price is slightly higher in Finland, where retailer Gigantti is asking €378 for it. The cheapest S II Plus can be bought in Romania, where Orange is offering it for €315 without contract.
Although the S II Plus has two color versions, only the blue one seems to be available for now. So you'll probably have to wait a bit more if you want the white edition.
Meanwhile, the smartphone has been approved by the FCC in the US – and, since it features 850 / 1900 MHz HSDPA connectivity, it could be released by AT&T (but I don't think this will actually happen).
Officially announced at the beginning of January as a refreshed Galaxy S II i9100, the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus i9105 runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, and comes with a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED WVGA display, TouchWiz UI 5.0, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, 1.2GHz dual-core Broadcom processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of expandable memory.

Undoubtedly the most personal book in the artist series so far, "Schmidt Sean Andreas Schmidt" may seem a very simple book at first glance.
Fifteen double-page spreads juxtapose various photographs of Andreas Schmidt and his son Sean Schmidt, both at similar ages, from birth to approximately four years old.
We can witness both Andreas Schmidt and Sean Schmidt, time delayed by almost exactly 38 years, do all the usual things children do, like taking their first steps, riding a bike, visiting a Zoo, playing in the snow and we are presented with their favourite pyjama, a pet tortoise and a 3rd birthday event.
Yet what appears to be an obvious comparison is perhaps more revealing and profound when considered for longer than the turning of a page, as it is our universal use of the camera in connection with family events that is being analysed in this book.
Was Andreas Schmidt led to take certain photographs of his son because he knew of his own pictures in his family album? Is it just a coincidence that 38 years on his son's favourite pyjama is also yellow? Do we remember life from our first few years or do we remember life from the photographs of our first few years as assembled in our family albums?
Ultimately, like in the final scene of Stanley Kubrick's film "2001", in which linear time has been disrupted and an astronaut sees an image of himself as an old man, first eating and then lying on a bed, dying, only to turn into an embryo, this book reminds us that we are simultaneously our sons and our fathers and that we are part of an immense cycle.

EverBGreen dice That's incredible -- I think the resemblances are more pronounced than in the usual case. That is, in looks, he seems to have inherited your genes. It is a fantastic assembly of images. I definitely agree that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But here the point is made like an arrow through the apple on your son's head. Congratulations on a very memorable book. Even at a young age, he'll be able to totally appreciate it and your bond will be deepened as a result. It's easy for bonds not to be as close as they can be with all the necessary reminders, prodding, rules and requirements etc. So a book like this is very special in shaping your relationship from here onward.

text: As the snow falls, it seems ludicrous to write about short boots, but I can't help myself! I have fallen in love with the Carson Short Boot by Frye. Now I am a born and raised city girl, and I never really had much of a desire for a pair of cowboy boots. But I can't get these boots out of my head. I have fallen head over heels for 'em! They are just too cute! I think it's the idea of owning a pair of blue or red cowboy boots. The boots pictured here are available on www.nordstorm.com for $317.95. Yep, three hundred bucks! Since that is a car payment, I'm going to just have to blog and dream about them.

The origin of the name comes from the appearance of a black skullcap. Capuce is a French word for a skullcap. The Capuchin Monkey's hair is very similar to the cowl or capuche worn by Franciscan monks. Capuchin Monkeys have a supple and slender body with thin limbs. The Capuchin Monkey's hand is similar to the human hand. The thumbs and big toes of the Capuchin Monkey are opposable to the other fingers and toes.
The head of the animal is round with hairs at the back darker than the rest of the coat. The long hairy tail is partly prehensile. It serves as an anchor or prop when Capuchin Monkeys travel through the trees.
Young Capuchins usually stay with their group for the first four years of their life. The young Capuchins start feeding on their own when they reach the age of about four months. The mortality rate is extremely high namely at the time of the first two years of life.
A group can move 1.5 to 3.5 km each day. Groups sometimes meet and may defend their territory by chasing each other. Adult males' job is to defend the group from predators and other monkey groups. Adult females help them participating in the chase.
Capuchin Monkeys are very vocal animals that scream, whistle and bark. In this way, they call each other in order to maintain contact and may express their dislike if someone or something disturbs them.
Capuchin Monkeys spend their free time within the group playing with each other and grooming each other.
When the young are learning to feed independently, large trees are out of their reach. They wait to be carried into tall trees to grasp some fruit by experienced adults. The group of Capuchin Monkeys is likely to restrict their horizontal and vertical movements to adjust to the limited climbing skills of the young.

Social interaction research suggests teamwork helped make humans smart
By Mariette le Roux, AFP
April 12, 2012, 12:26 am TWN
PARIS--Learning to work in teams may explain why humans evolved a bigger brain, according to a new study published on Wednesday.
Compared to their hominid predecessors, Homo sapiens are cerebral giants, a riddle that scientists have long tried to solve.
The answer, according to researchers in Ireland and Scotland, may lie in social interaction.
Working with others helped humans survive, but this required developing a brain big enough to cope with all the social complexities, they believe.
In a computer model, the team simulated the human brain, allowing a network of neurons to evolve in response to a series of social challenges.
There were two scenarios. The first entailed two partners in crime who had been caught by the police, each having to decide whether or not to inform on the other.
The second had two individuals trapped in a car in a snowdrift and having to weigh whether to cooperate to dig themselves out or just sit back and let the other do it.
In both cases, the individual would gain more from selfishness.
But the researchers were intrigued to find that as the brain evolved, the individual was likelier to choose to cooperate.
"We cooperate in large groups of unrelated individuals quite frequently, and that requires cognitive abilities to keep track of who is doing what to you and change your behavior accordingly," co-author Luke McNally of Dublin's Trinity College told AFP.
McNally pointed out, though, that cooperation has a calculating side. We do it out of reciprocity.
"If you cooperate and I cheat, then next time we interact you could decide: 'Oh well, he cheated last time, so I won't cooperate with him.' So basically you have to cooperate in order to receive cooperation in the future."
McNally said teamwork and bigger brainpower fed off each other.

CLAIM: Kris Jenner Helped Sell Kim Kardashian & Ray J Sex Tape
Kris Jenner facilitated the sale of the Kim Kardashian–Ray J sex tape for $10-15 million, claims HollywoodLife, combining its two favorite hobbies: Stealing a story and pulling "facts" out of thin air.
According to the webloid's "exclusive," Jenner was the one who "urged [Kardashian] to sign off" on the controversial video.
"The Kardashians made well over $10-15 million off the tape and it got them the empire and life they currently enjoy," explains a so-called "source" for the site.
Funny, but this whole story seems awfully familiar.
Maybe that's because RadarOnline already wrote all about Jenner having "brokered" the sex tape sale — a bogus story that Gossip Cop busted.
As usual, though, HollywoodLife didn't just copy another site's story — the shameless blog somehow managed to make it even worse, citing the totally fabricated "$10-15 million" figure.
It's getting to the point where the only people more EXPOSED than HollywoodLife are the sex tape stars themselves.
Regardless, the story of Jenner engineering the sex tape sale is STILL not true.

Kingdom promotes dialogue at Non-Aligned Nations meeting
March 17, 2010
Saudi Arabia declared yesterday at the Non-Aligned Nations meeting in Manila that the world is in dire need of comprehensive and deep-rooted dialogue that contributes to the achievement of justice, equality, security and stability and works for the elimination of hate, war and extremism.
In a address to the Special Non-Aligned Movement Ministerial Meeting (SNAMMM) on Interfaith Dialogue and Cooperation for Peace and Development, Prince Dr. Torki bin Muhammad bin Saud Alkabeer, Undersecretary of Foreign Ministry for Multilateral Relations, called on developing countries to consolidate the non-alignment movement in the post-Cold War world, as regional blocs and alliances replace the bipolar order. Dialogue and peaceful solutions must be implemented to solve the unprecedented political, economic, social and cultural crises of today's world, he asserted. Describing the Kingdom's extensive efforts to promote dialogue between religions, cultures and civilizations, Prince Torki recalled the successful conferences sponsored by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz in Madrid, Makkah and New York.

Three balloon flights to the edge of space were made during the program: Manhigh 1 to 29.6 km, by Captain Joseph Kittinger on 2 June 1957; Manhigh II to 30.95 km, by Major David Simons on 19 and 20 August, 1957; and Manhigh III to 29.9 km by Lieutenant Clifton McClure on 8 October 1958.
Including the pilot and scientific equipment carried aboard, the total weight of the Manhigh II gondola was 747 kg. At maximum altitude, the balloon expanded to a diameter of 60 m with a volume in excess of 85,000 cubic m.
50th anniversary of a forgotten space mission: Project Manhigh
by John C. Keel, M.D.
By the 1950's, high-altitude balloons were capable of reaching higher than 99% of the earth's atmosphere. As a first step in sending man into space, the United States Air Force executed a series of manned high-altitude balloon missions from 1957-1958, known as Project Manhigh. These missions tested equipment such as space capsules, space suits, and telemetry and communication systems. Most of all, Manhigh first tested the ability of human beings to function in the harsh extremes of high altitude, where the blue sky ends, and space begins.
Manhigh I and II were flown in June and August of 1957 by Joseph Kittinger and David Simons, respectively. For the third and final mission, new pilot requirements were expanded and refined, including psychological and stress testing, and physical challenges such as the centrifuge. Having been the first to pass this rigorous gauntlet that would later be used to select the Mercury Seven, Clifton McClure was launched aboard Manhigh III on October 8, 1958.
In a sealed capsule filled with oxygen, nitrogen and helium, McClure soared to an altitude of 99,700 feet, above the Tularosa Basin of New Mexico. He persevered through equipment failures that could have proven disastrous. His parachute came loose, and somehow he repacked it by hand while in the confined space capsule. Most significantly, the capsule's cooling system failed, and temperature climbed, as it was beyond the radiation shielding of the atmosphere. Incredibly, McClure's body temperature reached as high as 108.5°F, yet he remained conscious and recovered completely.
A graduate of Anderson High and Clemson, McClure also later became a member of the South Carolina Air National Guard. He flew the F-104 with the 157th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (now the 157th Fighter Squadron at McEntire JNGS, Eastover, SC). He was deployed to Spain during response to the 1962 crisis in Berlin. McClure passed away in January 2000. He was inducted into the International Space Hall of Fame in 2001.
Balloon missions continued briefly after Manhigh, including Excelsior and Stargazer, but all were soon overshadowed by NASA, and now they are all but forgotten. A few books have documented their feats, including The Pre-Astronauts: Manned Ballooning on the Edge of Space, by Craig Ryan, and Touching Space, by Gregory P. Kennedy. The Discovery Channel has aired a documentary on the pre-astronauts. A much-anticipated movie is also in progress to recount their amazing adventures.
Let us remember the remarkable, awe-inspiring achievements of McClure and the pre-astronauts. It was the pre-astronauts of Project Manhigh who were the first to see the curve of the earth against the black void. As the space programs of the world prepare for the next stage, let us always remember those who have come before, for we pursue the most ancient dreams of mankind.

Perhaps you'll find this useful in your work place, personal schedules or home environments. These opinions are strictly mine and I welcome your comments.
I'm a science/engineering type and believe there is a correct answer to problems that lend themselves to "hard science" … on the other hand I'm flexible when it comes to matters of the heart or "soft science"
Time as measured by the rotation of the Earth around our Sun one (1) time is what we agree to call a day and it's equal to 24 hours. We all have the same amount of it and therefore there's no more or less time only more or less use of it and we call that productivity. Guiding the productivity of time we find the ability to prioritize it every useful. In fact, those who master the prioritization of their time are found to be the most productive, successful and happy in every aspect of life.
There are several tips one can employ to gain productivity during the day such as these:
• "T.I.O." – touch it once, as it pertains to paper that endlessly streams into our life. Deal with the
paper now, complete the task, pass it on, file it but no not STACK it
• Make brief notes "immediately" following a conference, meeting, or important conversation, highlighting what was discussed and what decisions were made.
• Keep simple records regarding the routine of your life. While detailed records are often kept at the office, this practice does not always follow into the home. Setting up such files in a file cabinet at home with the important folders for records will save time, and money by having the info available when you need it.
• Schedule quite time – daily and make it completely free from interruptions even text messages!
• Learn the art of saying "no" – every invitation to assist, participate, etc is not an event you have to participate in. This goes into "goal setting" as well – when you have a goal, and you know the required action steps necessary, these interruptions are easily seen to either fit into the action plan or not, if not the answer is, "I'm sorry. My day is already planned out, maybe next time – but it's a no for now."
• Use "waiting time" wisely.
• Keep your work area uncluttered and free of distractions. My mother's old saying, "A cluttered desk means a cluttered mind," is more timely today than it was years ago. If the shoe fits …
• Keep incoming "junk mail" to a minimum – both the physical kind as well as emails. Increase the security settings if necessary, set up a specific time to deal with this mail each hour and don't violate you own rules!
Don't underestimate the efficiency of management and delegation within the office environment. Who can accomplish the task equally as well or perhaps even better than you? Delegation – the most underutilized technique of "workaholics" that there is. Finally, spend the time needed to prioritize your activities prior to beginning them, I find the evening prior to be the best time for me, I sleep better.

Grapes & Resveratrol
Tuesday, April 4, 2006
Additional Resources
Heart disease is the number one killer in this country. Heart disease is associated with a variety of conditions, including obesity, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol levels. High fat diets are also associated with cardiovascular disease.
The "French paradox" refers to the relatively low incidence of heart disease, despite a diet high in saturated fats, in parts of France where red wine consumption is high. One reason for this paradox might be that an ingredient found in the skin of red grapes has a protective effect on the heart. This substance is called resveratrol. Not only is it found in grapes, but it is also found in pine trees, peanuts, and certain plants. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant and limits oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol), which is one of the steps in the process of atherosclerosis. This compound may also reduce the stickiness of platelets, a blood clotting cell found in the body. Studies suggest that high intake of resveratrol can result in reduced cardiovascular disease and lowered LDL (bad) cholesterol. Current research is investigating whether there is an anticancer effect of this phytochemical.
Although supplements are available that contain resveratrol, it's best to get the nutrients we seek from the foods we eat rather than from pills. Resveratrol is present in red wine, red and purple grapes, grape juice, and peanuts. Grapes treated with insecticide have a reduced level of this compound. If you choose to drink wine, do so in moderation. This means no more than 2 glasses a day for a man or 1 glass a day for a woman. Most experts advise against drinking solely for the apparent health benefits of wine. Some medical conditions and medications can be affected by alcohol consumption. Please consult your physician before consuming alcohol, if you have any questions.

Let's Be Cops is a wayward, humorous happenstance that utilizes one of the more unconventional approaches to the often used buddy cop genre. It's an amusing intersection of a comedy and a crime drama and a jocular embellishment of the genre that pokes fun at a number of classic "cop" scenarios. The movie stars Jake Johnson (Neighbors), Damon Wayans, Jr. (The Other Guys), Rob Riggle (22 Jump Street), Nina Dobrev (The Roommate), James D'Arcy (Cloud Atlas), Keegan-Michael Key (Bucky Larson: Born To Be a Star), and Andy Garcia (Rio 2).
This creative exhibition attempts to add itself to the list of modern buddy cop films with one of the more creative takes on the genre. The film starts off with a bang but the comedy quickly begins to dissipate as the plot of the story starts to take shape. It hyper focuses on trying to embed the theme of friendship and maturation too much that it offsets much of the comedy and waste far too much of the film. The first 35 minutes are hysterical despite the fact that most of that portion of the movie is what was advertised in the trailers. Within the first half hour, Let's Be Cops has some of the best comedy of the year. This sets the tone and gives the audience exactly what we came for. Most of the comedy is crude and laced with vulgarities, obscenities, and feverish number of sexually based jokes. However, it makes great usage of the ones that are embedded into it. Many of the film's best parts are when it decides to focus on the slapstick nature that utilizes the obscenities. The film would have been hilarious if it would have emphasized more on those aspects. Consequently, the comedy severely falls off after that. The film's creators focused too much on trying to be sure that the film's themes of friendship and responsibility are known that it deviated too far from what made the film enjoyable. It forces a change from the light-hearted/slapstick nature of the film that really is the best part of the movie. All in all, there are some really good themes that are rooted within this comedic calamity. Let's Be Cops really shows the true value of friendship as the two would be cops learn to truly appreciate one another.
The cast of Let's Be Cops is led by Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans, Jr. make a good comedic tandem. The two play very well of one another. They have completely contrasting styles but fit well on screen together. Rob Riggle makes the most of his limited screen time as Officer Seagars. He continues to add to his list of growing great roles with another great supporting comedic role.
The biggest flaw with Let's Be Cops is that it doesn't stay true to what it's billed as. Let's Be Cops is advertised as a more of a slapstick comedic movie and the film tends to stray away from that. The makers of the movie lost sight of that aspect while embedding the plot. Let's Be Cops is at its best when it just makes fun out of the duo just pretending to be policeman and the haphazard chaos that stems from it. Those are the true comedic gems of this. Maybe they should do a sequel or a reality series off of the concept because it had great potential that was never truly realized. Let's Be Cops still manages some good level of entertainment but it's painful to think of what it could have been.

I do not know about you, but when I think of Sleepy Hollow, actor John Cho does not jump to mind.
But it seems that might be changing. Cho, best known for his work in the Harold and Kumar films series, as well as his appearances in the American Pie series and Star Trek reboot, has landed a guest starring role in Fox's new drama pilot based on the classical novel.
The series will be set in modern times and will be a supernatural thriller (as you probably guessed). It will star British actor Tom Mison as Ichabod Crane. Cho's part will be Andy Dunn, a well-liked police officer in Sleepy Hollow who watches over Detective Abbie Archer (Shame's Nichole Beharie) and does what he can to assist her. However, as seems to be the case with every single character I have written about this pilot season, there is more to Dunn than meets the eye.
Orlando Jones and Katia Winter have also joined the cast. They will be playing a detective and Ichabod's wife...I will let you figure out which is which.
The pilot is being developed by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who produced and wrote Star Trek. They will be doing the same for this project, and Len Wiseman is attached to direct.

Every morning when I roll out of bed around ten, ten-thirty-ish I pour a cup of coffee, light a cigarette and open up the morning edition of the World Guardian. After the Sports, the Funnies and the Obituaries I go right to the little blurb about whose celebrity birthday it is on that particular date. You'd be amazed at how old some of these well-known superstars are getting.
For example, country music legend Loretta Lynn is 81. Cereal icons Snap, Crackle and Pop are also 81 and underage drinker, alleged singer and partially clad music wannabe Justin Beiber just turned 20. Other notable birthdays are the Vlasic Pickle Stork, 38 years old, Winston Cigarettes and Godzilla turned 59 and noted Renaissance artist Michelangelo turns 539 years old.
Fast-food mascot Jack in the Box also just turned is 19 going on twenty and still is the creepiest mascot in the food industry.
In the beginning Jack in the Box used a huge clown head as its mascot, perched high atop a sign above the restaurant. In the 70's the clown head was attached to the drive-thru menu and actually talked to you to take your order. The 70's were a blur to me what with the discovery of marijuana and that was what creeped me out initially as well as fueling my fear of clowns. In the 80's the chain decided to go with a more mature image and started blowing up clown heads on TV commercials. By 1994 Jack in the Box was reinvented as a science fiction-like white bubble head with a conic red nose wearing a suit. I still can't eat a Jack in the Box Jumbo Jack Burger.
Anyway, here are some other notable celebrity ages that may startle you and make you realize how old some of us are getting.
The Kool-Aid guy turns 60. Over the years he has been a dynamic pitcher-about-town, surfing, jet-skiing, busting down brick walls and playing guitar while frightening millions of children around the world. This cat even has his own footprint in front of Mann's Chinese Theater in LaLa Land.
1 Pkt. Kool-Aid
1 Cup Sugar
2 Qts. Water
Empty contents into large plastic or glass pitcher. Add 1 cup sugar (More or less to taste). Add cold water and ice to pitcher and stir to dissolve. Do not store in metal container.
Mr. Peanut was born way back in 1916, becoming the official Planters Peanut mascot in 1937. By the late 50's he was starring in TV commercials. Since then he has sold millions of Halloween costumes, trained for tree-athalons and solved problems while contemplating. This is a traditional Southern spin on two old favorites.
Roasted Peanuts and Coke
1 12 Oz. Coke in a Bottle
1 1.75 Oz. Bag Planters Salted Peanuts
Pop open the Coke and take a big swig out of it. Tear open the bag of peanuts and carefully drop the peanuts into the Coke. Enjoy! It's the real thing.
The Trix Rabbit is 57 and it took the silly rabbit almost twenty years before he finally tasted the forbidden cereal composed of raspberry red, lemony lemon and orangey orange.
Trix are for Kids Treats
¼ Cup Butter, Melted
30-35 Large Marshmallows
2 Tbs. Kool-Aid Brand Lemonade Mix
7 Cups Trix
Spray 13x9 Pyrex. Add marshmallows to butter and stir constantly until melted. Stir in drink mix and quickly add cereal until everything is smushed together. Pour into baking pan, cover with wax paper to pat treats down evenly.
The Pillsbury Dough Boy is almost 50. Besides being a pusher for crescent rolls he has beautiful blue eyes, a world-class smile and a famous giggle, even when he is getting poked in the stomach or getting patted down by the TSA at the airport. Nothing says lovin' like somethin' from the oven!
Crescent Rolls w/ Asparagus
1 Pkg. Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 Lb. Asparagus, Trimmed
Sea Salt/Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Unroll the rolls into their triangles. And set out on greased baking sheet.
Blanch the asparagus until softened but still crisp.
Grab 3-4 spears, place in center of triangle and roll up. Lay side by side on sheet, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Sorry Charlie. Unfortunately the Stah-Kist spokestuna, born in 1961 passed away in the mid-80's from mercury poisoning while trapped in a Japanese fishing trawler net. No recipes are available.
There is a complete highlight reel of these and other celebs on the slideshow and video. Check them out.
Happy Birthday everybody.

KJ Stroud Signs as UDFA with the New York Jets
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 04/28/2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Former Bethune-Cookman receiver KJ Stroud has officially signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets of the National Football League.
Stroud, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior wide receiver from Brooklyn, N.Y., becomes the first B-CU player to ink a free agency agreement with an NFL team following this year's NFL Draft. He arrived to the Wildcats program in 2011 after transferring from Rutgers where he spent the 2009 and 2010 campaigns. In the process, he joins former B-CU players Terry Williams – now an assistant coach with the defensive backs for the Wildcats – and Charlie White as former B-CU players to have signed with the New York Jets organization. Williams served as a second round choice for the Jets in the 1988 draft, while White was selected in the 1977 draft.
In 2012, Stroud saw action in all 12 games for the MEAC champion Wildcats, hauling in a team second-best and career-high 26 passes for 293 yards and a touchdown. His 24.4 yards per game average was also second-best on the Wildcats squad this past season.
Stroud matched a career-best mark of four catches on three occasions in 2012, including a career-high 60 yards on four receptions and his lone touchdown of the season against Norfolk State. He also pulled in four receptions against Alabama State in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge and an additional four at Savannah State.
He concluded his B-CU career with 33 catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns.

Camping can be the perfect getaway for the family. You have nature, cooking by a campfire, relaxation and time for family bonding that can be difficult to get with busy lives at home. This Father's Day weekend, camping at a participating KOA camp grounds is free for kids. Kids are free with an adult purchase and the stay must take place anywhere between June 13-June 15. There are a dozen of participating locations to choose from in New Mexico and many more throughout the United States and Canada. In New Mexico, all KOA locations are participating, including: Alamagordo/White Sands, Carlsbad, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Grants, Lordsburg, Silver City, Albuquerque North/Bernalillo, Las Cruces, Ratón, and Tucumcari. Due to the scorching New Mexico heat, you may consider staying at a KOA location that has a pool so you can cool down while vacationing.
This offer is valid for any of the types of accommodation and there's many to choose from. If you're into deluxe camping, then you'd like the deluxe cabin that features plenty of beds, a large living space and even a kitchen area. For families that don't plan on spending much time indoors, a smaller basic cabin might be more fitting. The basic cabin only has sleeping quarters and does not feature a living space. It does, however, have a porch with a swing. If you have your own RV, you can also bring that to camp in. Or bring your own tent and have the luxury of having access to restrooms, a shower and even kamping kitchens if you don't want to cook over campfire. Although cooking over campfires is allowed too- within fire restrictions for the day. Some locations around the US also have unique accommodations such as renting a Airstream, Teepee, Caboose or Tree House.
If you do plan on staying at a KOA this weekend or any other day in the future, be sure to plan your trip and location not only around the accommodation, but the actual city or town its located in. Depending on your interests, you'll want to spend family time doing more than just hanging out at the campsite. Try staying near a New Mexico State Park and visiting the lake for fishing, splashing or having a picnic. Check out any museums in the area or historical sites of interest. If you find that visiting just one KOA for a couple nights is not enough for you and you'd like to explore many more sites, then consider looking into the Value Kard Rewards program to receive a number of year round savings and earn points with each purchase.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Teacher's Guide
Essay Topics
What are the different views of reading portrayed by Scout, Jem, and Atticus? How is reading linked to morality for each of these characters? Which view does the author advocate?
Lee writes of the Ewell property that "against the fence, in a line, were six chipped-enamel slop jars holding brilliant red geraniums, cared for as tenderly as if they belonged to Miss Maudie Atkinson" (Chapter 17). What do the flowers tell us about their keeper, Mayella Ewell? Are the geraniums a symbol? If so, why, and if not, why not?
A true gift is, in one sense, an unexpected blessing bestowed by a person—or even, perhaps, by fate. Some of them may be objects, while some may be things that cannot be seen but are no less important. In Chapter 4, the children find a mysterious shiny package in the knothole of a live oak tree. What gifts are given in
To Kill a Mockingbird?
Why might they be important to the unfolding of the story?
The Radley place undergoes a change in the course of the novel. At the beginning, we are told, "Inside the house lived a malevolent phantom" (Chapter 1). By the end, Scout fearlessly walks Boo up to his front porch. What change has taken place in Scout that allows her to walk with Boo?
Maudie Atkinson says, "Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time" near the end of Chapter 10. What lessons do the Finch children learn from the incident with the mad dog? Explain in detail, indicating how they change their understanding of their father. Is the mad dog a symbol of some Maycomb citizens?
What does the visit to the Negro church teach Scout and Jem about black people in Maycomb? How is their culture different from the culture of white people the children know? How are the two connected?
At the novel's end, Scout says of Boo Radley, "…neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad" (Chapter 31). Is Scout right, that they gave nothing in return? Does this comment come from the adult-Scout narrator or the child-Scout narrator?

After struggling with its first try, a Chicago suburb gets curb ramps that work.
The Village of Arlington Heights, Ill., doesn't rely on a one-size-fits-all approach to designing and installing its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps. It has different designs for each, relying on the engineer and inspector in charge of that particular project to ensure that ADA requirements are met.
"Especially in our downtown, which has narrow sidewalks, we can't use a standard design," says Jim Massarelli, P.E., director of engineering for the village.
Arlington Heights is a typical town northwest of Chicago. This suburban community of 76,000 people also has its typical sidewalk issues—it is working to become 100% ADA compliant.
The village has a mayor-appointed disabilities coordinator who works closely with the engineering and public works departments to help determine the best approach for curb ramp projects. And, says Massarelli, the disabilities commission is fortunate to have someone in a wheelchair who can give first-person feedback on specific projects.
The average cost of completing new ADA-compliant ramps ranges from $600 to $800 each. For the past 4 or 5 years, Arlington Heights specified red ceramic panels coated with a rubberized material. This product saw poor results: After the first winter, some of the truncated domes were sheared off, cause unknown.
The contractor and manufacturer glued new panels into place. This didn't work either, probably due to water seeping beneath the panels. The village is moving to a coated metal product that was tested and approved by the public works department. Installation falls on the higher end of the cost range, says Massarelli. Results on this new product weren't available at press time; stay tuned to see how well they work. — Amara Rozgus

The thought of living without the comfort of a Twinkie has the world grinding to a halt.
The thought of living without the comfort of a Twinkie has the world grinding to a halt. I was never a Twinkie fan, but my knees would buckle when there was a Hostess Cupcake with its chocolate cake, chocolate frosting and hidden reward of the creamy centers. There was two large cupcakes in a package which to me meant it was one serving. It was a regular purchase in high school at least two days each week. At the noon bell, the north doors would burst open spewing kids onto the grass across the lawn between a couple of houses to the sidewalk. Then it was just a two block sprint to Beeck's Grocery and gas station. Dorothy was always there and the choices were plenty in the snack line. If the cupcakes were out my second choice was the snowball. Again it was the chocolate cake and white gooey frosting covered in coconut. Also two in a pack ready for the walk back. On the way out, there was a chest type pop cooler where you made your selection of Coke, orange or grape by sliding the bottle towards you then left down the channel, then backside left into the release chamber. I believe it was a whole dime by then (I can remember the nickel days at the Chevrolet Garage). The noon break covered both exercise and nutrition program. Kilbride's Bakery was our second choice, only because it was twice as far, but the fried rolls were worth the effort. Fifteen cents each or two for a quarter. Don't mourn the Twinkie, someone will come up with the recipe.
Our warm weather this week building to the holiday is easy to take and will make it harder to accept the cold that's moving in. Black Friday's cold biting wind will be a reminder of the winter to come. Only Friday's hot bargains will keep you warm.
This week we will gather for one of those warm holidays made for family, fun and food. It is a time to remember those who have touched our lives and made our purpose clearer. It's time to thank you our readers for your patronage, our hats are off to you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Have a good week.

They are known for their football rivalry. The "Holy War" between St. Edward and St. Ignatius is one of the fiercest in the country. It's neighborhood bragging rights between players that may have played together in grade school and middle school. The game always means something, and the games are usually close and well played.
Same can be said when the two teams hook up in basketball
This Saturday, St. Ignatius, the state's third ranked team, travels to St. Edward to take on the Eagles, the state's top ranked team. It's a battle of two teams that almost completely mirror each other. They are big, quick, and deep. There will be a number of Division I college prospects on the court Saturday night.
Scouting St. Ignatius.... The Wildcats take a 9-1 record into the game. Their only loss was to Detroit Jesuit, and nationally ranked team. They have two outstanding wins, beating Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary 74-64, and Cleveland Central Catholic 59-52. St. Ignatius comes at you in waves, playing up to 10 players that receive quality minutes. Coach Sean O'Toole knows the challenge that the Eagles present:
They are great at attacking the rim. Both their bigs and their guards find a way to get to the rim and get quality shots. We have to be very sound with our on-ball defense, along with our help-side defense
The Wildcats will need great games from the Black twins, 6'6" Eric and 6'6" David. St. Ignatius can also throw out additional size with 6'7" Jake Strippy and 6'6" Jaylin McDonald. Their backcourt, who will be in charge of slowing down the size and quickness of the Eagles guards, are led by 6'3" captain Isiah Barbra, 6'4" super sophomore Deven Stover, and the leader and trigger man for the offense, 6'1" Danny Bova.
Scouting St. Edward.... The Eagles also take a 9-1 record into the game. They recently returned from the MaxPreps Tournament in Palm Springs, California after facing four nationally ranked teams. The Eagles went 3-1 on the trip, with their only loss being a close 66-58 game to Westchester High School of Los Angeles, currently ranked tenth in the country. The Eagles are a balanced team, both offensively and defensively, and coach Eric Flannery knows it's that balance that will be needed to beat St. Ignatius:
They are really good defensively, and match up with our size really well. We can't be content on throwing up jump shots against them if they try and take away our inside game. Sean does a great job over there, and we know they will be well prepared and ready to play
The Eagles are led by the dynamic duo of 6'6" Kipper Nichols and 6'4" Marsalis Hamilton. They both are match up nightmares as they can both shoot from the outside, and be strong in the post. Point guard Malcolm Walters can get to the rim with his athleticism, using his 6'2" frame to overpower opposing point guards. Their sharpshooter from the outside is 6'4" Tony Vuyancih. Controlling the glass for the Eagles with be 6'6" junior Mike Ryan, and 6'9" Derek Funderburk, one of the top sophomores in the state.
So, who wins?.... It should be a great game. Expect St. Ignatius to use their depth to try and wear down the Eagles big men. The Wildcats may even throw in some zone on defense to try and get the Eagles to rush shots from the outside. St. Edward will want to be patient on the offensive end, where their talent will take over. They will also need to rebound, so they can get out and run.
St. Edward wins a close one this Saturday at home....but you know what is great? These teams will play again in February at Sullivan Gym at St. Ignatius
The "Holy War" isn't just about football.

Howard County girl to be tried as an adult in the death of her father
ELLICOTT CITY, Md. - A Howard County Circuit Court judge has ruled that a teen will be tried as an adult on charges she planned along with her boyfriend to kill her father, according to the Howard County State's Attorney Office.
Morgan Arnold , 16, allegedly planned the stabbing death of her father, Dennis Lane, inside their Ellicott City home in May of last year.
Arnold's boyfriend at the time, Jason Bulmer, pleaded guilty to killing Lane and was sentenced last month. He admitted to stabbing Lane repeatedly.
Prosecutors allege Bulmer and Arnold planned the murder for months so they could run away to California together.
Arnold is set to go on trial beginning Aug. 18.

A shared use trail on the new Portage Bay Bridge?
Filed Under Bicycling, Environment, Sustainability, Transportation, walking
Yesterday, The Seattle Times reported that "the ramps to nowhere" are going away. The unofficial public swimming infrastructure is making way for a new Highway 520 floating bridge. That project has caught the attention of neighbors in Montlake, Madison Park, Laurelhurst, and Capitol Hill who have come together to ask for the replacement project to help reconnect their neighborhoods and "make it safe, comfortable, and convenient for everyone, from an 8-year-old child to his 80-year-old grandmother, to bike and walk" in their neighborhood.
The Cascade Bicycle Club reports overwhelming community support. Nearly 1,200 people wrote the Seattle City Council telling them to "get SR 520 right!" The groundswell has catalyzed a City Council resolution calling for the city to work with WSDOT to improve walking and biking connections in Montlake and to figure out how to build a shared use trail on the new Portage Bay Bridge.
Here is an image of the impact to the Portage Bay Bridge footprint if a few feet were added on each side for non-motorized options:
But wait, it gets better. Councilmember Conlin has introduced an amendment to help ensure the biking and walking improvements work for people of all ages and abilities. This means they'll build protected bike lanes and neighborhood greenways instead of just slapping some paint on the road and calling it good.
For more information about this effort and how you can lend your voice to the call for new non-motorized connections between neighborhoods, check out the Cascade Bicycle Club or Central Seattle Greenways.
I have great summer memories of leaping off the Arboretum's unfinished freeways. I always marveled at the seemingly limitless appetite of road builders. Let's hope the city and state jump right into the work of planning other ways for us to get around, building a future of vibrant urbanism that's less dependent on private automobile ownership and use.

The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games Chapter 4 Summary
How It All Goes Down
- A very drunk Haymitch, the former champion who is supposed to be mentoring Katniss and Peeta, slips around in his own vomit.
- Peeta offers to clean Haymitch up, which Katniss wonders about until she realizes that Peeta is being kind. Kind?! This could be bad for the Games since kind people have a way of "working their way inside" Katniss and "rooting there" (4.10).
- Alarmed at her tender feelings, Katniss throws Peeta's father's cookies out of the train window, but wouldn't you know it, they bust open right beside of a patch of dandelions. Which of course just remind her again of Peeta's kindness back in the schoolyard. Sigh.
- Flashback alert: Katniss tells us what happened those many years ago after Peeta gave her the bread and she saw the dandelion.
- She and Prim go to the Meadow where they gather enough dandelion greens for a huge salad. Katniss realizes she could scavenge for even more food with her mother's book from the apothecary.
- Katniss also begins going under the fence surrounding District 12 and out into the woods to hunt. She uses the small bow and arrow that her father had made for her and hidden in a hollow tree. Katniss kills a rabbit on her first day and the family has meat for the first time in months.
- Over the course of time, Katniss is able to use the woods as the family's main food source: eggs, fish, rabbits, squirrels, and plants.
- Eventually Katniss is old enough to sign up for tesserae. She doesn't stop hunting though, but begins to trade the bounty from her hunting and gathering at the Hob (the city's black market).
- Later that summer, she finds potato-like bluish tubers growing around a pond. She remembers that they're called "Katniss." And that her father had said: "As long you can find yourself, you'll never starve" (4.22). (Double meaning alert! Remember this for later!)
- With the food and the hope, Katniss's mother begins to come out of her depression. Katniss, though, can't ever completely trust her.
- Flashback over. Now we're on the train with Katniss who is staring out of the window thinking of her home and family. All of that seems so long ago. She decides to sleep and even though she decides to allow herself to cry: she can't.
- Katniss wakes and dresses (green outfit, gold mockingjay pin). Breakfast is huge: "eggs, ham, piles of fried potatoes" and delicious hot chocolate (4.34).
- Also at breakfast? Haymitch, the drunkard. Katniss realizes that she kind of hates Haymitch because he's apparently not very good at supporting his tributes – or getting them sponsors (the people who give aid and supplies to the tributes during the game).
- Katniss asks Haymitch for advice, and he says "stay alive" (4.40) and then laughs. Ha?
- Peeta is ticked off by this and knocks Haymitch's glass out of his hand. Haymitch punches Peeta. Katniss stabs a knife into the table.
- A little surprised, Haymitch wonders aloud if he has fighters on his hands this year. Katniss throws a knife into the wall to prove that he does.
- A deal is made: If no one interferes with Haymitch's drinking, he'll stay sober enough to help. But! Peeta and Katniss must do exactly as he says. All are agreed.
- The train pulls into the Capitol and people are on hand to gawk. Katniss backs away from the window, but Peeta smiles and waves. "Who knows?" he says. "One of them may be rich" (4.61).
- Katniss realizes that maybe she has underestimated Peeta. Maybe he does have a plan – and that plan probably involves killing her.

AT&T Nokia X7 canceled, might still sell elsewhere
Remember the oft-leaked Nokia X7, that was supposedly going to be sold by AT&T starting this month? Well, according to two separate reports, the Symbian-powered smartphone will not be hitting US shores anymore. So who canceled it, AT&T or Nokia? According to PocketNow, it was the former. According to TheNokiaBlog, the latter.
But, regardless of who, it's pretty safe to assume that the X7, which was apparently going to get named Nokia Journey, is not going to be sold by AT&T.
Apparently, it was going to be released on February 13, one day before the start of MWC, and not later this month, as previous reports had it. Accessory manufacturers were getting ready to sell made-for-Journey accessories. But then something went wrong.
The Nokia X7 may still get released elsewhere in the world, and be sold by that name ('Journey' was probably only ever meant to be used in the American market).
Of course, we'll probably never find out why this phone was cancelled, but judging by the general impression of Symbian in the US, it's probably better this way – at least from the point of view of Nokia's brand value over there.
