ROY ANDERSEN suggests that the contraceptive implant will encourage sex without a condom. I believe the lack of condom is the least of society's problems.
Children should not be having sex in the first place. Discipline so removed and poor education of the problems they can face should they partake in such an activity seems to have created a society of children giving birth to children.
Add into this how some companies seem to have an insidious desire to sexualise children (the case last year of the clothing chain selling bras and bikinis for girls under 10 was particularly disgusting).
When they are grownups they can do as they wish, but as children they must be mentored and protected! We need to redefine and reeducate the parents or this will continue to be a problem.

Dear Sirs: This is my first year teaching second grade mathematics. I am presently teaching Unit seven of the Everyday Mathematics from the University of Chicago School of Mathematics Project. My question is... What are the TEKS covered in Unit seven of this math curriculum. I fail to see the importance (which I know there is) to teaching children some of the activities in this unit. For example, one of the lessons teaches kids how to jump around a 100's chart using arrows. First, they present it with filled boxed that are parts of the chart. Then, the workbook has them do a problem using arrows to get the number in a blank box. Some of the children can do it, but I was wondering the significance of this. How does it relate to one of the Math TEKS? Thank you for your time, Lydia Turner email@example.com

Photos of wildlife at Amboseli National Park, approximately 220 kms southeast of Nairobi, Kenya. Kenyan and Tanzanian governments started on October 7 a joint aerial count of elephants and other large mammals in the shared ecosystem of the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro and Natron- Magadi landscape. The one-week exercise, cost 104,000 US dollars, is a collaboration between the two countries and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) and the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) among others.

1.Can i get a backstory on the band/ band biography?
Not Above Evil was formed in late 2009 by Sideeq Mohammed, Daniel Mucs and David Gwynn with the intention of developing a unique brand of metal driven by brutality and technical precision. Only a few months after getting together the trio recruited fellow University of Manchester student, David Horton to serve as a lead guitarist and released the band's debut EP. In addition to receiving generally positive reviews the six songs off this self-titled EP would later form the basis of the band's first full length record, Deification, which they released in summer 2010. It was this release that earned them a reputation for their ability to meld heavy, technical riffs with intricate guitar melodies as well as for over the top, death-metal vocals. Critics described the album as 'well written' and 'played with confidence, self-assured, devilish pace and a crushing appetite for precision' but the consensus was that Deification was, ironically, a stepping stone to greater things. The band's second album, The Transcendental Signified, marks the debut of a new guitarist after the departure of David Horton in late 2010. After an almost year long search with many auditions and shows as a three-piece the band settled on Damien Levette to take on the role of lead guitarist alongside David Gwynn.
2. What lyrical theme do you guys use in your music? What message do you want to send?
The lyrical content is largely philosophical based on our lead singer's studies and life experiences. There is also a lot of grim imagery which matches the screamed vocal style, but a lot of the songs have themes of bettering yourself and breaking out of bad situations.
3. How have the gigs you guys been doing been?
Pretty good, we've had some ups and downs like any young band, but we recently headlined a show in our home town playing the new album all the way through. We're supporting Aliases soon, the new band from ex-SiKth guitarist Pin.
4. What equipment do you guys use?
Marshall 1960 cabs, Peavey Valveking combo, Peavey Bass amp (don't know the model), Blackstar series one head, PRS and ESP guitars, Ibanez basses and Premier drums with gibralter hardware.
5. What bands have influenced your band and its sound?
Our main influences are modern metal bands such as Mastodon, Lamb of God, Sylosis and Tool. We're all massive metalheads and are into 80's thrash especially. We all have different side tastes though, such as 70's prog rock, classical music, blues, prog metal and some indie/punk.
6. Do you remember your first show and what was it like?
Haha nerve wracking, I managed to break a guitar string mid song halfway through the set but I luckily had a spare guitar so just threw that straight on between riffs! We've been playing live over 2 years now.
7.What made you guys decide to form a band?
We were all looking to form a technical metal band and didn't know each other beforehand, but through some friends and the internet we came together to make music. Originally the band was intended to be more like Opeth/Dream Theater but collectively we were more into technical and thrash metal.
8.What is your opinion on sites posting your guys material and other bands material?
There's no point fighting it, and to be honest at this stage in our career it's better for us as it gives us exposure we otherwise wouldn't get. You can stream our latest release at the following link: http://notaboveevil.bandcamp.com/
9.Is there any bands that you guys enjoyed playing with more then the others?
We have some really good friends in Manchester and we all support each other's bands. Some of the very talented bands we have shared a stage with are: Spires, Bisonhammer, Soma Dark and Incidium, who are playing their last gig in a week's time so we're all gonna go and say farewell with some headbanging and jager!
10. How do you guys feel about the classifications in metal? like deathcore, metalcore and other subgenres and how some get a negative rep.
I don't care too much for them, my favourite bands are always those that fearlessly push limits and don't give too much notice to labels. I think mainly they're a product of journalists who have to try and relate a band's sound as quickly as possible. I've always thought if we make a piece of music and we all enjoy it then it is a Not Above Evil song, even if it isn't necessarily metal.
11. What song do you enjoy playing the most?
I can only speak for myself when I say this but I enjoy playing Legion as it has a slew of super fast heavy riffs, and I only have a tiny bit of backing vocals at the end of the song so I can spend the rest of it headbanging relentlessly!
12. When not doing things with the band, what can you guys be seen doing?
We're all a bunch of nerds! Myself and the other guitar player have computer programming jobs, our lead singer is doing a Masters degree and our drummer is finishing a computational chemistry doctorate before taking a job doing Mathematical Modelling. Apart from that we like going to gigs, having a drink and playing music in some side-projects.
13.Your biggest band moment?
Getting a song onto rock band 3 DLC is pretty amazing, and from seeing it it has one of the hardest solos I've seen in that game! We've also had some really positive reviews of our latest cd and as explained earlier we'll be sharing the stage with one of my favourite guitar players from SiKth.
14. What is your opinion on the current state of metal?
Metal seems to be in good health. There's demand for it and it's nice to see people want to hear challenging music. There does however seem to be some apathy since music became so easy to get hold of, it can be really tricky trying to get a crowd for your shows or even for your friends to give the latest album a spin. Maybe that's because we live in a big city and there's constantly amazing gigs on.
15. How did you guys come up with your band name?
Me and the lead singer wrote a list of possible names each, and Not Above Evil was the only one that we all liked. I think one of the other potential names became a song name but I'd have to get the singer to confirm that.
16. What can the fans expect to see from you in the future?
We're gonna keep challenging what we're capable of as a band I hope. We'll probably have a new album within a year and this will be the first one our guitarist Damien will be a primary songwriter on, so we're looking forward to what he's got. We're also starting to get more magazine coverage and better gigs, so from here the only way is up!

Niall Parties With Barack Obama – And Breaks His Arm!
It seems that Nialler isn't the best of friends with the current US President, after breaking his arm at a BBQ!
Not to worry though, Niall isn't the FBI's worst enemy as the unfortunate victim was just a life-size version of Barack.
Niall was hosting a fun-packed barbecue on Tuesday night, and a source speaking with The Sun said:
"They got louder as the night went on. Music was being pumped out and in all the excitement Niall jumped on his Barack Obama model and its arm came off."
Obama's double was a birthday present from the rest of his One Direction bandmates. Aww, we want one!
In other Barack Obama news (we've never said that before!), there's an awesome viral video thats doing the internet rounds.
Watch Barack Obama's lol-ful version of 'What Makes You Beautiful' below:
Doesn't he do a cracking job! How long till One Direction are invited to the Whitehouse?
Elsewhere it seems its all fun and games in the world of One Direction, as they enjoyed a golf day out, thrown on by Modest Management. Modest also look after Olly Murs and JLS, and it looks like they had a ball of a time together:

While it is unlikely that the 113th Congress will take any action on climate change (especially not in advance of the November 2014 elections), many major public companies aren't waiting for Congressional action and are instead proactively beginning to factor internal carbon pricing into their business decisions. According to a new report issued by the CDP, 29 major companies in the United States already incorporate a carbon price into their business planning and risk management strategies. Of the 2,100 companies surveyed throughout the world, 638 companies have disclosed that regulations related to carbon pricing (cap-and-trade & carbon taxes) present opportunities for their businesses (although companies in heavy emitting countries and industries continue to report that they feel competitively disadvantaged by carbon pricing). Moreover, 500 of these surveyed companies reported that they are already regulated and price carbon through global carbon markets. Nearly a fifth of these are U.S.-based companies.
Another interesting observation that can be gleaned from the CDP report is the significant variability in the price that companies are setting per ton of carbon. For example, in North America, the price per ton ranges from $8-$80; in Europe, the price per ton ranges between $15-$324. The variability can be explained, at least in part, on the regulatory regime where those companies are operating. For example, companies operating in California are estimating carbon prices on the basis of California's cap and trade program which prices carbon at between $14-$15 per metric ton. Companies that primarily operate in Europe rely more upon Europe's Emissions Trading Scheme, although the current price per metric ton under the EU ETS (£6 per metric ton) is significantly lower than the above-referenced range so these companies are obviously projecting a higher price per ton in the future.
During last week's United Nations Climate Summit, many governments and companies also expressed support for establishing a price for carbon emissions. The World Bank identified many countries, states, provinces and cities, as well as over 1,000 businesses and investors that were in favor of carbon pricing. The CDP report noted that "[c]ompanies in the US and worldwide are already advanced in their use of carbon pricing. They are ahead of their governments in planning for climate change risks, costs and opportunities. These companies want, and are calling for, clear pricing and regulatory certainty to help them plan their climate-related investments, and they want to see more certain, internationally linked carbon markets."
Regardless of what side of the climate change debate one embraces, what is clear is that the business community has already made a decision to incorporate climate change related risks into its business strategy decision making. For those of us that represent the business community, it probably would be a good idea to get on the train or be left at the station.

On June 25, 2013, in a speech at Georgetown University, President Obama unveiled his Climate Action Plan (CAP) which sidesteps Congress and instead focuses on executive branch action, and more specifically, U.S. EPA action in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As part of the CAP, the President recommitted the United States to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020 (but only if all other major economies agree to similarly limit their GHG emissions). In an effort to meet this commitment, the CAP targets, at least in part, GHG emissions from new and existing power plants.
More specifically, in the CAP, the President directs U.S. EPA to promulgate regulations that limit GHG emissions at existing power plants. The CAP also directs U.S. EPA to re-propose New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for newly constructed power plants. U.S. EPA had previously issued proposed NSPS rules in April 2012; however, U.S. EPA had missed its one-year deadline for issuing a final NSPS for new coal- and natural gas-fired utilities. Other key elements of the President's CAP include:

Cinema 46
1 US Highway 46,
5 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 36 comments
When did UA take over…had this theater still run it would've been owned by Regal. The opening of the Paramus Park movie theater this fall will mark Regal's return to northeast NJ after selling its theaters in North Bergen to independent companies. The closest Regal is in South Plainfield as well as Pohatcong, NJ.
Correction: The Cinema 46 opened by Skouras Theatres on August 12,1964 with The Beatles in "A Hard Day's Night" It closed in April of 1997 under United Artists Theatres.
I remember the summer of 1978 as the summer that "Animal House" came out. I remember seeing it at this theatre and if we had a slow summer night with nothing to do, we would go back to this theatre and see Animal House again.
I enjoyed this theatre and I saw many movies here. I loved the seats and the big screen. I miss this theatre.
I saw Star Wars the first week it arrived at the Totowa cinema. We got there too late for a good seat. I was in the first row and the farthest seat to the left. With the curved screen I could only see the right side of the screen. It was the only seat left but hyperspace was still a great experience. It was fun to turn to the right and look back at all the attendees faces.
Was that theater the Wayne quad? Both theaters were run by UA in addition to the Pascack theater in Westwood, NJ among others, before either closing them or selling them to other chains as competitors expanded screens such as Sony/Loews in Wayne.
I managed this theatre from 1965 to 1966. Theatre opened slowly but took-off after showing "Zorba The Greek". we ran an "arty" type schedule including; "Fail Safe","A Man For All Seasons", "The Ipcress File." The theatre never had enough parking in those days resulting in gridlock for the second evening showing. The NJ State Police actually blocked off our entrance because of a traffic back up on Route 46.
Kirk Douglas appeared here in person for the Reserved Seat Engagement of "Cast A Giant Shadow." I did not get to meet him as I had moved on to another theatre.
Ken Lehman…former manager.
I saw a lot of moves at Cinema 46. I wish I could remember more of them. When I was twelve an usher there caught me and my buddy trying to sneak into an R rated movie. I saw "Purple Rain" there and liked it so much I stuck around and saw it again. Sometimes if it was crowded the ushers asked people to exit through the outside doors. But if you told them you needed to make a phone call or use the bathroom they let you back in the lobby and you could usually stick around and see another movie. Does anyone remember pay phones?
The officemax in totowa was closed earlier this year. Maybe they should put in the movie theater back again lol
There was a story many years ago about this theatre, dont know how true it was, that when they played the first ever Sensurround movie, Earthquake, that some of the ceiling tiles actually fell out of the ceiling. I dont know if this happened, as I was only 15 at the time and heard people talking about it.
I agree unclejay73. I think I saw Hook on a very big screen. FYI, Hook was supposed to be the first movie with Sony's SDDS sound system, but was pushed back nearly two years until "Last Action Hero" came out.
If I remember correctly this theater had the exclusive showingin 1978 of the movie version of A Little Night Music with Elizabeth Taylor which never played Manhattan.
I was there the very last week it was open. It became a second-run theater and the ticket prices were $1.99. I saw the re-release Special Edition of "The Empire Strikes Back"…and then it closed. The screen was huge!! We need more theaters like this.
I was working at Cinema 46 the day of the "E.T." sneak preview – people started lining up at 11am for the show. I called up the house manager at little while after opening when it looked like we were going to have a huge crowd (we hadn't anticipated a crowd as the trailer and poster were met with indifference in the preceding weeks) and said that he should come in to supervise the event. We called in all off-duty staff as well. The official sneak preview (7:15, IIRC, and tagged onto the 5:30 show of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid) was a complete sellout by late afternoon. After the show went in at 5, the manager decided to run an "unofficial" second show of ET at 9:30 by itself, which had about ¾'s of a house.
I lived in New Jersey briefly back in the early '80s, and remember Cinema 46 with affection.
Saw "E.T." there at a sneak preview (wow! remember those?) Memorial Day weekend 1982.
They actually passed out little metal badges that you could pin onto your shirt saying, "I saw 'E.T.'"
I still have mine, in fact.
The funny thing is, the theater was barely half-full, and I remember thinking that the movie was going to be a b.o. disappointment.
Also have fond memories of some other Jersey theaters I patronized back then on a regular basis: the Royal and Center in Bloomfield; the Bellevue, Claridge and Wellmont in Montclair; the Essex Green
triplex; the Verona and Nutley theaters; Cinema 23 (in Montclair??); the Paramus Mall single-screener and the larger Paramus 'plex with 70 mm capabilities (saw "One from the Heart," "Quest for Fire" and "Annie" in 70 mm there that same year).
Some signs of life coming back to Totowa…a Sonic drive-in just opened on the same road.
The latter. You can relive that moment since that movie's out on DVD and in 5.1 surround sound, also shown sometimes on MOJO (formerly INHD) HD. Which theater profited well, this one or the GC where an Officemax used to be?
I only ever two films at this theater:
HARDLY WORKING – (yeeesh…remember that one?)
PINK FLOYD: THE WALL (in 70mm/6-Track if I recall correctly…)
Guess which experience I still cherish?
Breaking news….the CompUSA which replaced the old movie theater will be closing this year…so much for a so-so computer store that took over a popular location…maybe the movies should come back there….too bad OfficeMax is still popular where the old GC Totowa Cinema was located. The last movie I saw at that theater was "Hook", which was an ok movie to see in a small auditorium in Totowa, where there was no 70mm version. According to fromscripttodvd.com, the last 70mm movie that played there was the box office flop The Black Cauldron, Disney's first PG-rated cartoon.
Correction: Mikeoaklandpark (in a June 2005 posting) says that A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC never played in New York. Not true, as that is where I saw it during its original East Coast run in the spring of 1978. It opened at what was then (I believe) called the Gemini Twin. I don't think there are many examples of NYC not playing a movie because it was considered "bad."
Listed as a 3 screen in the 1991 International Motion Picture Almanac under the United Artists listing.
My own most vivid memory of Cinema 46—the original auditorium, anyway—is that it had to be the most comfortable theatre I've ever been in. Plushy seats and more legroom than I've encountered anywhere else. Felt that the screen was maybe a little undersized for such a big auditorium, but I enjoyed a number of 70mm blowups on that screen regardless ("1941" and "Superman II" come to mind). I think the last movie I saw there was "Unforgiven," which looked and sounded pretty spiffy, so I guess I was lucky enough not to experience what other posters describe as the place's sad decline in its last few years. The two tacked-on theatres really suffered by comparison to the main hall in all departments—screen size, picture and sound quality, decor, comfort—suggesting a juxtaposition of two completely different eras and philosophies (showmanship vs. sheetrock) in building theatres.
Sorry – that date is August 12, 1964.
Announcing the opening of Cinema 46 in July 1964:
Michael – it is a CompUSA store, but a lot of the building was changed so it's not really recognizable as a theatre any longer.
The Totowa Cinema – ¼ mile up the road – is now an Office Max store and is similarly unrecognizable.
Looks like it was planned to be a CompUSA.

THE END FOR SMALL CINEMA; TOTOWA THEATER SUCCUMBS TO TREND. (BUSINESS) Kevin G. Demarrais.
Full Text: COPYRIGHT 1997 Bergen Record Corp.
By KEVIN G. DeMARRAIS, Staff Writer
At one time, it was known for its big screens and excellent sound quality, but the United Artists Cinema 46 in Totowa had been struggling of late, unable to compete with a bigger, brighter competitor down the road.
And so, with no fanfare, the three-screen movie theater passed into history this week, shutting its doors after Sunday's final showing of "The Empire Strikes Back" to make way for a computer store.
By Tuesday, the large sign along Route 46, which last week was promoting a $1.99 admission, was blank.
About all that remained to identify the white building as a movie theater were three small decal signs on the doors and eight hexagon-shaped film canisters in the deserted lobby, awaiting their return to the distributor.
"Once Sony came in with 14 screens, they were dead," said a clerk at the Holiday Inn next door.
The clerk was referring to the Sony theater a couple of miles west on Route 46, across from the Willowbrook Mall and Wayne Towne Center, which went through a makeover and expanded from eight to 14 screens last year.
At the same time Cinema 46 was losing business, its land was increasing in value as a Who's Who of national and regional retailers converted a four-mile stretch on Route 46 west in West Paterson and Totowa into a major retail center.
The 11-acre plot on which the theater and Holiday Inn are built, between the Passaic River and Union Boulevard, is the only underdeveloped property in that four-mile stretch.
As a result, the land, which is owned by a partnership, S&T Associates of Totowa, is valued in the "tens of millions of dollars," said Larry Liebowitz, president of Landmark Real Estate in Westwood. Liebowitz is the exclusive broker for the property.
The property has already undergone change, with part of a tennis club converted into a Pet Nosh (now Petco) superstore, and the movie site will become a 30,000-square foot CompUSA store, the Dallas-based chain's fifth New Jersey outlet.
Most of the current building will be razed, and CompUSA is seeking to have the new store open by the fourth quarter of the year, in time for the holiday shopping season.
This is the second Totowa movie theater to have its site converted to retail use in the past four years. The Totowa Cinema, a two-screen theater about a half-mile west of Cinema 46, shut its doors in 1993 to make way for an office supply store.
Both theaters drew praise for the quality of their pictures and sound when The Record reviewed North Jersey theaters in 1988. But neither could compete with the multiscreen competitors that offered a wide choice of first-run films, even when Cinema 46 discounted its prices.
"The days of three-screen theaters are over," Liebowitz said. "They did some business on the weekends, but they couldn't compete with the Sony theater. It's too expensive to operate."
Closing small theaters is part of an industry trend. United Artists Theatre Circuit Inc., which operated Cinema 46, opened 15 new multiplex complexes with a total of 130 screens last year, and closed or sold 54 buildings with 245 screens.
Each of the new theaters had an average of 8.7 screens. The facilities that were cut averaged 4.5 screens.
Closing facilities such as Cinema 46 fits with United Artists' corporate strategy, as stated this month by Kurt C. Hall, the acting chief operating officer, to increase "efforts to dispose of older, less productive, or non-strategic theaters."
The Denver-based company lost $46.6 million last year, which was nearly a third less than its $68.9 million loss in 1995.

Holy Spirit Empowerment
By Benny Hinn
It was the Holy Spirit who gave Jesus the power to feed the multitudes, walk on water, and raise the dead, demonstrating that He was indeed the Son of God.
It was the Spirit who helped Him endure the cross.
And it was the Holy Spirit who raised Him from the dead.
The Holy Spirit played a vital role in every phase of Jesus' life---his conception and birth, His boyhood and youth, His mission and ministry, His suffering and death, His resurrection and exaltation.
The Spirit was fully the presence and power of God in Jesus.
Before His ascension, Jesus made an extraordinary promise to His disciples, "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endured with power from on high," He told them.
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me" (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8).

Efforts to legalize marijuana for either recreational or medical use were defeated yesterday in three states. In Colorado, where Amendment 44 sought to legalize possession of an ounce of pot for adults, only 38% of the voters favored the inititative.
"I wish I knew [why it failed]," said Mason Tvert of SAFER, the organization that got the amendment on the ballot with NORML's help. "I think years of marijuana prohibition happened and people have heard half-truths about it all their lives. Why shouldn't adults over the age of 21 be able to make a safer choice by choosing to smoke marijuana instead of consuming alcohol? That's all we're trying to accomplish - to give adults the right to make a safer choice."
In Nevada, Question 7 would not only have legalized possession of an ounce but instructed the state government to make marijuana available commercially in stores. The initiative, coordinated by the Marijuana Policy Project, took a 56%-44% beating.
MPP executive director Rob Kampia tried to put a positive spin on the loss - the second time in three years Nevadans decided against becoming the first state to legalize marijuana: "Today, a record number of Nevada voters called for an end to marijuana prohibition, the highest vote ever to end prohibition. The momentum is with us. Major social change never comes easily, but change in our failed marijuana laws is coming because prohibition does nothing but harm. Prohibition funds criminals and guarantees that teens have easy access to marijuana, and voters have begun to see through the drug czar's lies. We've made huge progress since our 39 percent to 61 percent loss on a similar ballot measure in Nevada four years ago. We plan to try again with another marijuana initiative in Nevada in November 2008 or 2010."
In South Dakota, medical-marijuana Measure 4 was on the short end of the vote, losing 52%-48%.
The good news was deprioritization measures, which lower the priority of police enforcement of local marijuana laws, passed in Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Santa Monica (all in California), and Missoula, MT. The result of a similar vote in Eureka Springs, AK was not yet known.

I have a Win 2008 dedicated server. The remote access for MSSQL db is disabled. However I want to connect to it during development from my system. I need to create something like a tunnel from my lap so as to access it. I don't have static IP.
Another reason for mentioning about creating tunnel is that my server IP has been whitelisted with other server. The data must originate from my dedicated server then only I can do the testing.

According to Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun on Monday, two Calgary Stampeders were injured in their 30-20 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday. Defensive lineman Micah Johnson injured his knee and wide receiver Jeff Fuller suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Johnson, according to Sportak, has "arguably" been the best Stampeders player this season. The product of the University of Kentucky tore a knee ligament in a 26-7 loss to the British Columbia Lions to close out the 2013 Canadian Football League regular season, and apparently injured his same knee this past weekend. At 6'2", 275 pounds, Johnson has had 19 tackles (three more than his entire 2013 total) and three sacks this season.
Fuller meanwhile has been a dynamic offensive force for the Stampeders that have seen injuries to running back Jon Cornish and wide receivers Maurice Price and Nik Lewis already in 2014. In seven games, Fuller has caught 28 passes for 366 yards and five touchdowns. His 366 receiving yards was second on the Stampeders behind slotback Marquay McDaniel.
There is some speculation however that Cornish will return to the Stampeders' lineup on Saturday when Calgary plays the Ottawa Redblacks. Cornish suffered a concussion in Calgary's season opener against the Montreal Alouettes and will be practicing on Wednesday.
Calgary native Matt Walter will also return to practice. Walter, who was seeing more playing time at running back with the injury to Cornish, also suffered a concussion in Calgary's impressive 26-22 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on July 24.
With all of the injuries the Stampeders have had, it is very impressive they are still leading the Western Division with a record of six wins and one loss. In that time they have outscored their opponents 191-114. Their 114 points against are the least in the Canadian Football League. In terms of coaching, this could be Rich Stubler's finest season to date. Stubler, who is the Stampeders' defensive co-ordinator, has been coaching regularly in the CFL since 1983, and at the age of 65 is in his first year in Calgary.

To begin: Cut 3 panels for the front of the apron. Cut each panel 11" wide by 18" tall. After the panels are cut measure in 2" from the top corner of each panel. Draw a line from the 2" mark to the bottom corner of the panel (as shown in the diagram). Cut along this line. Do this to all 3 pieces for apron front AND to 3 pieces of lining for apron lining. Cut a piece of fabric 21" wide by 11" tall. Measure in 5" from each top corner (on the 21" side). Draw a line from the 5" mark to the bottom corner. Cut along the line (as you did for the apron skirt front pieces above). You will have a trapezoid shaped piece of fabric that looks like this: Repeat to cut an additional piece from apron lining Cut a 3" x 21" piece of fabric for the waistband Cut a 3" x 21" piece of fabric from lining for waistband lining Cut a 3" x 44" (width of the fabric) piece of fabric for the neck ties Cut 2 5" x 44" pieces of fabric for the apron ties Cut 2 6.5" x 6.5" pieces of fabric for the pockets outside Cut 2 6.5" x 6.5" pieces of fabric for the pocket lining Cut 3" wide by 11" piece of chevron fabric (going the opposite direction) for the apron front panel feature. Begin sewing: Sew your 3 apron front panels together. (all seams are 1/2" unless otherwise stated). Press seams open. Attach jumbo ric rac to the outer edge of your apron front skirt piece. You'll attach it around the bottom and 2 sides but not the top.
Apply lightweight fusible interfacing to wrong side of waistband. Sew 2 pieces of piping to the long side of the waistband. The raw edge of the piping even with the raw edge of the fabric. (I use a piping foot for this step, if you don't have one, try your zipper foot). Sew your waistband piece to your apron front panels. Set aside. Sew piping to the right side of the 3" apron front feature piece of fabric. Turn raw edges under and press. Attach piece to the center of your apron top piece. Top stitch along the piping to attach. Attach apron top piece to the apron waistband. To make the bats for the pockets. Trace a bat shape approx 5" across onto a piece of heat and bond lite. Iron onto wrong side of black fabric Cut out precisely Peel off backing and iron onto another piece of black fabric (also ironing onto the wrong side of the fabric). Before you cut it out again, top stitch around the outside edge of the bat. Cut out bat. To make pockets: Sew 1 pocket piece to one pocket lining piece. Sew around all 4 edges leaving a 2" wide opening in the bottom of the pocket to turn right side out. Clip corners, turn pocket right side out and press, folding in the raw edges. Take bat and using iron on seam tape, iron bat onto pocket front. Stitch pocket onto apron front, 2" down from the waistband and 3" in from side of apron (as you do this you'll close the opening in the pocket). Repeat for 2nd pocket. To make neck ties. Take 3" x 44" wide piece of fabric, fold in half, right sides together and stitch. Turn right side out and press. Cut in half One each piece, turn under one raw edge and using fusible seam tape, close the opening (no raw edges showing). Attach neck ties to apron top, 1" in from each edge, with raw edge of tie, even with raw edge of apron. To make apron ties. Fold each 5" x 44" piece of fabric in half lengthwise. Stitch. One one end, place seam in center of apron tie, stitch a diagonal line to close tie, and cut off excess. Turn right side out and press. Repeat for 2nd tie. Attach tie to apron front at waistband. Attach one tie at each edge of waistband. Next, construct the lining. Using your apron front, panels and waistband pieces construct apron lining the same way you constructed the apron. (omitting the piping, pockets and ric rac etc.). Place apron lining and apron, right sides together. Stitch around entire apron, leaving a 3" opening in the side to turn right side out. Be careful not to catch the apron ties in the seams. Clip corners, and turn right side out and press. Close opening using fusible seam tape. To finish, sew buttons onto apron front.

Crazy Woman Blog Post on June 30, 2005
Armed with enough verified data to begin searching for living relatives of Fay, I penned my now-infamous June 30, 2005 blog post which began:
"Her name was Fay Louise Bensfield, and she died in 1984 at age 75. She was my grandmother, I never knew her, nor did she know me.
"But I always wondered about her….Was she happy? Kind? Pretty? What was her ancestry? Did she have other children or grandchildren? Was she loved and loving?"
Ten days later, Mr. Dick Bensfield left the following comment:
"I suspect the Fay Bensfield was my aunt, married to Ray Bensfield. Fay had two children-Beverly and Bob, both adopted (I believe) by my uncle Ray. Does all this ring true?
Hollywood Writer Connection
Elated, I sent several emails to Mr. Bensfield, but he never replied. Like able researchers these days, I googled Mr. Bensfield, and discovered a treasure trove of intriguing info about the only plausible person with that name. Per the Internet Movie Database (IMBD), Dick Bensfield is a retired TV writer and producer… one who enjoyed a prolific, 40-year career crafting a long string of famed Hollywood sitcoms, including:
- Ozzie and Harriet (1952-66)
- The Andy Griffith Show (1967-68)
- I Dream of Jeannie (1969-70)
- Mayberry R.F.D. (1968-71)
- Love American Style (1971-73)
- The Partridge Family (1972-74)
- The Odd Couple (1970-74)
- Happy Days (1974-75)
- One Day at a Time (1975-84)
As a UCLA film school graduate, I was impressed by Mr. Bensfield's talent and Hollywood staying power, but realized that he's not a blood relation. But he was my first contact with someone who remembered Fay, a person who verifiably knew Fay, albeit distantly.
Ultimately, I would locate and have contact with two more people who remembered Fay… including one who lovingly called her "mother" until her 1984 death. But that was only after I experienced five frustrating years waiting to find Fay and her family.
When Dick Bensfield went silent, I assumed he thought I was misguided or mistaken. Or worse, a star-struck stalker. You see, my mother's birth name was Jacqueline, not Beverly. Further, while my mother's birth certificate does, indeed, indicate that Fay had a son, no other daughter is mentioned.
The connection instinctively felt right to me, though, for no rational reason. I intuitively knew that Mr. Bensfield had gifted me with important clues: the names Beverly, Bob and Ray, all Bensfields.
Genealogical Dead End
For much of 2005, I scoured innumerable databases and yellow pages, and scrutinized Ancestry.com, then a fledgling genealogical research tool. Nothing. I googled and googled. And googled more, to no useful avail.
I sadly set aside my search for Fay, and reluctantly reported to my mother the limited findings about Fay. I had very little information about Fay's family, and found nothing about the shrouded circumstances surrounding her own birth.
Mother was gratified and mildly interested to learn that her birth mother, Fay, passed away in 1984 at ripe age of 75 in Camarillo, California, within driving distance of our family. That Fay was apparently blessed with a long marriage, and moved on to raise two children.
That she probably had a sister, or half-sister, provoked a shocked confession: years ago, my father may have seen Beverly. My mother and father had always since secretly wondered if she had a sister.
A Sister or an Apparition?
When Dad was in downtown Los Angeles one 1970s morning, he spied a woman crossing a busy street who, in his words, "looked exactly like your mother. Exactly!" Stunned, he stared, scarcely able to believe his eyes.
He memorized her movement, her gestures, her body and face and and loose auburn hair. She was the embodiment of my mother, who he married in 1948. She even appeared to be the same age. Dazed, he watched as she disappeared. He never forgot, and he never once doubted that mother's look-alike was real.
I thought we were at a genealogical impasse. The search was undertaken to answer my mother, and she felt half-satisfied and strangely incurious. Her lukewarm response was prompted, I later realized, by ambivalence often felt by adoptees toward the birth parents who gave them away. And prompted by loyalty to the loving, good people who raised her.
Oddly, I wanted to learn more about Fay. I felt an unexplained stirring… a deep, unrequited yearning to learn more about my birth grandmother. About my heritage. About my blood relatives. About where and who I came from.
Searching for Myself
Looking back, I now understand that in late 2005, my mother's search for Fay Louise Williamson Bensfield became my search, too. I felt drawn, as if by an invisible force. I kept the correspondence and my notes. Searching for Fay was temporarily tucked away in memory. Like my father, I never forgot.
Almost five years later, as my mother slipped into her 80s with ever-faltering health, Fay returned to mind.
In spring 2010, I again googled… Fay, Ray, Bob, Beverly… with no results. I searched for their names using a powerful new networking tool: Facebook. And thank the good Lord, yes, one Robert Bensfield was a Facebook denizen.
Could it be? Could he possibly be my mother's brother by birth? Fay's son, who would surely have known her? My uncle, who I never knew? (I've never had an uncle in my life.)
Per Robert Bensfield's Facebook photo, he was about 80 years old. Smiling, attractive and neatly dressed, he stood with family: wife, daughter or granddaughter, a small baby. He appeared approachable, happy, vaguely familiar. His favorite saying was "The Journey of a 1000 miles begins with the first step." His words fatefully drew me toward him.
Nervous but fiercely hopeful, I drafted a carefully worded, non-stalkerish Facebook email in which I cited very specific information about Fay, but never mentioned my mother. I also clearly identified myself, including home address and phone number. I recited a silent prayer, and clicked "send."
Three months later, long after I had forsaken all hope, I received the following email on August 14, 2010:
"I am the Robert Bensfield for whom you are searching. How can I help you?"

The Nominative Case[edit]
The nominative case refers to the subject of the sentence. It is also one of the three cases of modern English. Every sentence must have a subject. For example:
Caesar is emperor of Rome.
Caesar is the subject of this sentence therefore Caesar is given in the nominative case.
Caesar's army entered Rome
Above is the genitive case which shows possession; the army was Caesar's army. We have changed the case of the word "Caesar" by altering its end. The nominative case has been changed to the genitive case by the addition of an apostrophe and the letter "s".
Latin cases are formed in the same way. The first step is to learn some words in their nominative case so as to become familiar with their endings which will later be changed to form the other cases.
Notes on Vocabulary[edit]
|Lesson Vocabulary

|ambula-t, ambula-nt
|(he/she/it is) walking, (they are) walking
|curri-t, curru-nt
|(he/she/it is) running, (they are) running
|An adverb placed before a verb meaning 'not' thus negating the verb.
|Some second declension masculine end in -r instead of -us in the nominative case — boy is puer, not puer-us. Of the nouns discussed on this page, this rule only applies to puer.
Of the "to be" verbs listed in the table, only est and sunt will be covered in this lesson. The table simply allows you to familiarize yourself with them, as verbs will be covered more in future lessons.
The nominative case is used for the subject of the sentence (or any noun that is the equivalent of the subject).
In this chapter, the following conventions will be used for nouns:
- m. = masculine
- f. = feminine
- n. = neuter
- First and second declension substantives are given with at least the nominative case. (We will add the genitive singular as time permits. It is not strictly necessary, but you should get in the habit now of declining nouns based on the genitive stem and not the nominative. This chapter is therefore slightly misleading in this regard.)
- Third, fourth, and fifth declension substantives are given with the nominative and genitive singular.

Overview of Adjectives[edit]
An adjective is simply any word that describes a noun, such as an object or subject in a sentence. Of course, whole phrases may be used to describe nouns, but adjectives are individual words. For example:
|The good boy walks.
|Puer bonus ambulat.
An adjective can also be used in a sentence opposite a form of "to be." The "to be" verb simply serves as a linking verb, as "the good boy" is an incomplete sentence, but "the boy is good" is a complete sentence.
|The boy is good.
|Puer bonus est.
As shown above, the same is true in Latin.
Adjectives in Latin[edit]
Like nouns, adjectives in Latin are declined. The vast majority take either the first and second declension (antiquus -a -um) or the third declension (ferox, ferocis). All such adjectives must agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case, but not necessarily declension.
- First and second declension adjectives have three distinct genders. Feminine adjectives require the first declension, masculine the second, and neuter the second. First/second declension adjectives use all three gender suffixes: -us, -a, -um (masculine, feminine, and neuter, respectively). This is because description is not limited to a single gender. For example, being good is not a quality limited to a single gender. Boys can be good, girls can be good, and things can be good. So, since all three genders must apply, we don't label adjectives as particularly m., f., or n..
- Third declension adjectives are given with the nominative and genitive singular. This, however, is only true for third declension adjectives of one termination, so again this chapter is misleading in this regard. Most third declension adjectives do not have separate masculine and feminine forms. (Neuter adjectives follow the third declension neuter pattern.)
These words will look like the adjective antiquus (old, ancient):
- antiquus (masculine), antiqua (feminine), antiquum (neuter).
Third declension adjectives typically look more like ferox, ferocis (wild, bold). This is because the third declension has no stem assigned to the nominative singular and is a "wild card" in that regard.
Adjectives often come after the word they describe. (But since word order is not central to the meaning of a Latin sentence, the adjective may appear anywhere within the sentence. In poetry, for example, several words often separate an adjective from the noun it modifies.)
For example: Nota bene: In the following examples the -us ending stands for the masculine (m.) gender, the -a for the feminine (f.) gender, and the -um stands for the neuter (n.) gender. So magnus is masculine, magna is feminine and magnum is neuter.
|Puella bona est.
|The girl is good.
|Dominus bonus est.
|The master is good.
|Templum magnum est.
|The temple is big.
Bona is an adjective describing a feminine substantive, such as puella.
Bonus is an adjective describing a masculine substantive, such as dominus.
Grammar: Pluralizing Nominatives[edit]
|First declension feminine
|Second declension masculine
|Second declension neuter
To pluralize most first and second declension nouns, replace the singular suffix with the equivalent plural suffix. All adjectives that describe the noun must be pluralized as well because adjectives must agree in case, number, and gender (but not necessarily declension). With the adjectives given, use first declension with feminine nouns and second declension with masculine nouns. In English we use the same nominative plural endings for words we have borrowed from Latin, so it may be helpful to remember we say one vertebr-a but two vertebr-ae, one radi-us but two radi-ī, and one medium but multi-medi-a.
Basic verbs[edit]
Verbs in Latin work quite differently than those in English. Study the following table, then view the examples below, though keep in mind that you only need to fully understand the difference between numbers for the time being.
|Only pluralize the noun that is being pluralized, not the adjectives that describe it or the verb that it is performing.
|All three are pluralized. In this context, singular verbs end in "-t" (est, ambulat), and plural verbs end in "-nt" (sunt, ambulant).
|The ending is sometimes changed, though the words surrounding the verb can also be used to denote tense. Consider these examples: "he will walk, he is walking, he walks, he walked".
|The stem is used to denote the tense, though this will be covered in a future lesson. In this lesson, only the present tense is being taught.
|The subject of the sentence is used to determine the person. If I am the subject of the sentence, then the sentence is in the first person. If you are the subject, then the second person, and so forth with the third. In this lesson, only the third person is being taught, which refers to anyone other than the speaker or the listener.
|The stem also denotes the person, though as previously stated, only third person is being taught in this lesson.
|puell-a bon-a es-t.
|The girl is good.
|And to pluralize:
|puell-ae bon-ae su-nt
|The girls are good.
|Note that verbs do not have gender, in that they do not change to the gender of the word that they are describing.
|Puer bon-us ambula-t.
|The good boy is walking.
|And to pluralize:
|Puer-ī bon-ī ambula-nt
|The good boys are walking.
|You will notice that neither the linking verbs "est" nor "sunt" appear in the previous two sentences. The meaning of the linking verbs are assumed in Latin sentences, as their respective meanings already exist in the verb stems.
|triclīni-um magn-um es-t
|The dining room is large.
|And to pluralize:
|triclīni-a magn-a su-nt
|The dining rooms are large.
Further Examples[edit]
Example 1[edit]
|templum magnum est
|The temple is big.
- Notes
- The adjective magnus -a -um must agree with templum in gender, number, and case, so the correct form is magnum (neuter nominative singular).
- Something like templum magnus est is incorrect because magn-us does not agree with templ-um. To a Latin speaker, this would sound like nonsense.
Example 2[edit]
|puella magna est.
|The girl is big.
Notes: In the same way, the adjective magnus -a -um must agree with puella in gender, number, and case, so the correct form is magna (feminine nominative singular, a-declinatio).
Example 3[edit]
|Puer currit.
|The boy is running.
|Puerī currunt.
|The boys are running
Notes: You may notice that, when pluralized, "currit" becomes "currunt". The original spelling was probably "currint", but changed to "currunt" over time to make it easier to say. This is true of any pluralized verbs that would otherwise be ending in "-int".
Example 4[edit]
|lūdī magnī sunt
|The schools are big.
Notes: The adjective magnus -a -um in this case must agree with lūdī in gender, number, and case, so the correct form is magnī (masculine nominative plural).
Third Declension Nouns and Adjectives[edit]
Third declension nouns and adjectives follow a different pattern. The nominative singular stem is not defined, and as such, any letter (or letters) can serve as a third declension stem. For example, Māter (mother) is a third declension noun in the nominative case. When pluralized, it becomes Mātrēs. "-ēs" is attached to the end of a third declension noun to pluralize it, as opposed to changing the ending completely, because there is no uniform way to do so given the third declension's random nature.
You may have also noticed that that the "e" in "Māter" was dropped when pluralized. This often happens when a stem is attached to a third declension noun of similar spelling (example, "Pater" (father) becomes "Patrēs")
|māter bona est
|The mother is good.
|mātrēs bonae sunt
|The mothers are good.
|pater magnus est
|The father is large.
|patrēs magnī sunt
|The fathers are large.
|amīcus fortis est
|The friend is strong.
|amīcī fortēs sunt
|The friends are strong
Third declension nouns are listed with the nominative case and the genitive case to provide the main stem, which will be covered in a few lessons. All other nouns are also listed with the genitive for standardization, but often just the genitive ending is given. For example:
|pater, patris
|oratio, orationis
|uxor, uxoris
|canis, canis
|proelium, -ī
|oculus, -ī
|amīcus, -ī
All other types of nouns are also generally listed with the genitive
Adjectives with a nominative ending in -is and the same stem in the nominative and in the other cases (eg. fortis) end in -e in the neuter and -ia in the neuter plural.
For example:
- dies difficilis = the difficult day
- proelium difficile = the difficult battle
- proelia difficilia = the difficult battles
- Translate the following Latin words into English.
- dominus bonus
- ludus malus
- puella magna
- triclinium est magnum
- Translate into Latin.
- the good boy
- the large master
- The temple is large.
- The master is bad.
- Translate the following Latin words into English.
- The good master
- The bad school
- The big girl
- The dining room is large
- Translate into Latin.
- Puer bonus
- dominus magnus
- templum magnum est
- dominus malus est

TAMPA, FLA. -- Remember when the New Orleans Saints defended their decision to shoot for an unbeaten season last December after their 13-0 start.
Remember their comments?
"If you have an opportunity to do something special, I think anybody who's got a champion's mindset is going to take advantage of an opportunity," right tackle Jon Stinchcomb said.
"Who knows if we will ever get this close again," quarterback Drew Brees said.
Now we know.
Five weeks into the NFL season, and no unbeaten teams remain.
In fact, only eight teams have just one loss. Five of those one-loss teams - the Bears, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Falcons and Steelers - failed to qualify for the playoffs last season.
When the Chiefs lost to the Colts on Sunday, it meant no NFL team reached 4-0 for the first time since 1970.
Entering Week 6, 22 of the league's 32 teams are in first place or within a game of first in their divisions.
Twenty teams have a .500 record or better. That ties an NFL record.
Some call it parity. Others would say it is mediocrity.
Saints Coach Sean Payton calls it the norm.
"If you just took at the last 10 years ... I think the exceptions to the rule would be the 13-0 or 14-0," he said. "This league is week to week. It's a battle each week. We knew it was going to be tough coming into this season."
The widespread parity might be the best thing going for the Saints.
Sure, they're mired in third place in the NFC South, but they're only one win removed from first place. A win at Tampa Bay today coupled with a loss by Atlanta in Philadelphia, and the Saints would be tied for first with a home game against the woeful Browns on deck.
Perceptions can change dramatically from one week to the next in the NFL. A month can cost jobs and reputations.
As Payton noted this week, the 49ers were the unanimous preseason favorite to win the NFC West Division. Five weeks later, they are issuing votes of confidence.
"'Surprise' would not be how I would ever describe where a team is at or where we're at," Payton said. "There's such a fine line between winning and losing in this league."
The Saints' 3-2 start is widely viewed as a disappointment. A month ago, some Saints fans envisioned another dominant run, considering that the team's roster returned virtually intact.
But, as Drew Brees noted, "Obviously, that's not the way it goes. It becomes more difficult."
Injuries happen. So do bad bounces. And in the Saints' case, there's a heightened sense of awareness by opponents.
As Reggie Bush said this week, the Saints "aren't sneaking up on anybody this year. We're getting everybody's 'A' game."
This reality set in quickly for the Saints.
In 2009, they didn't trail for a single second in their first five games and won their first six games by an average margin of 18 points.
This year, they've yet to win a game by more than five points and have mustered just one double-digit lead: 10-0 against Arizona last week.
Otherwise, it's been a bloodbath each Sunday.
Before the season began, Pro Bowl safety Darren Sharper was sidelined. Three weeks in, Reggie Bush joined him. Then Pierre Thomas. Then Tracy Porter.
Super Bowl favorites Green Bay and Indianapolis have been beset equally by injuries. Both also are 3-2.
"More often than not, (having a long winning streak) is not the case. (Each week is) a real challenge," Colts Coach Jim Caldwell said this week. "Look at last year. There were seven ballgames that we had to come from behind to win. That's the norm to me. That's the world we live in."
No one is going to run off and hide like the Saints and Colts did last season. The good news for the Saints is they've weathered a series of early injuries and bad bounces and still sit just a game out of first.
"We know we're banged up," Brees said. "We know we're not playing our best football right now, but we know how to handle that. We know it's about the process, handling the day to day, the preparation, not letting any of this become a distraction, people asking what's wrong with you guys? Nothing's wrong with us. We just have to keep plugging away. We're not where we need to be."
But where they are only adds luster to their remarkable accomplishment of a year ago. The resounding blowouts of the Eagles, Giants and Patriots. The miraculous come-from-behind wins against the Dolphins and Redskins. The dominant postseason run.
With time, their legend grows.
Be special.
The 2009 season was that and more.
It becomes more evident with each passing week.

Thieves in the Temple: The Christian Church and the Selling of the American Soul
ISBN13:by MacDonald, G. Jeffrey
Perseus Books Group
What has become of the Christian Church? Once devoted to molding Americans into better people, in recent years the Christian Church has gotten a corporate makeover. In a desperate attempt to bolster membership rolls, ministers have begun to treat their churches more like companies, and their congregations more like customers.As a minister in a small church, religious journalist Jeffrey MacDonald witnessed firsthand this lapse into consumerism. He realized that in an effort to cast a wide net for souls churches have sacrificed their authority to transform Americans' self-serving impulses for the better. In the headlong rush to operate more like businesses, churches are sacrificing their moral authority, perhaps permanently. The result is a crisis for the American conscience.Based on boots on the ground reporting from America's churches, as well as the author's personal experience and Christian theology,Thieves in the Templeis an incisive critique of today's movement away from true religion, showing how desperately America needs a new religious reformation.

CINCINNATI — Standard Textile's Carl Rau, laundry market manager, recently retired after seven years with the company, and Cecil Lee, who has more than 25 years of laundry industry experience, was named his successor, the company reports.
"We hired Carl to expand our presence, enhance our reputation and grow our sales in the central/co-op marketplace," says John Wintz, group vice president. "This area of our business continues to grow, and being successful in the laundry industry remains a priority for Standard Textile."
Rau brought 35 years of laundry experience to Standard Textile, working previously as a general manager and in business development for a national laundry outsourcing company.
"We appreciate all that Carl has done over the years and wish him a successful retirement," says Wintz. "We look forward to welcoming Cecil and appreciate the expertise he will provide to all of our valued customers in the laundry marketplace."
A graduate of the University of Michigan and Central Michigan University, Lee has vast industry experience, having worked for a national laundry company and other laundries in Ohio, Michigan and New York, the company says.
"I am very excited about coming to work for Standard Textile," says Lee. "The company is a premier manufacturer and supplier to the healthcare workplace. I look forward to continuing Carl's great work and servicing our customer needs in the central/co-op marketplace."

My earliest cooking experiences were helping my mother
and my grandmother as they prepared their family's
meals. Later, when I learned to cook on my own,
particularly after I married and was raising my two
children, I began to collect gourmet recipes that I hoped one day to try. As I enjoy being creative in the kitchen, my recipe collection, drawn over the years from friends,
family, cooking classes, newspapers, magazines and even
some restaurant chefs whose creations I had found
especially delicious, grew and grew. One day I looked at
the pile of file boxes, clippings and stray notes that had
accumulated and realized that I had to bring some order
to the collection so that its recipes could be more easily
accessed. And so I asked my sister Peggy Lowe to help me
organize it. The result of her organization, which I
gratefully acknowledge, is this volume.
One other note: In this volume I have modified
many of the recipes to make them salt and butter free.
To do that I have replaced salt with herbs and butter
with olive oil and the food remains
just as tasty & gourmet, while being healthier.

What a Weekend Abroad Should be, and a Lack of Photos to Prove ItChristchurch, Spring 2012
When is the last time you had one of those moments? You know, the kind where you're living in it, completely content, and in the back of your mind you know that there is not one place in the world that you would rather be than the place and state you're in? People measure happiness and progress in life with a lot of different scales, including wealth, title, and achievement. But if you ask me, the best measurement possible for how well you're doing is nothing more or less than the frequency of those "it can't possibly get any better than this" moments. These moments come in a lot of shapes and sizes, and they evolve as you grow older. I imagine playing with your children or holding a new grandchild would be classified as some of the most powerful moments, but being who I am at the current time, my moments have presented themselves in other, simpler forms. Often it can be watching the sunset from an Adirondack Peak (and a bottle of wine can't hurt), occasionally it can be experiences shared with close friends, and once in a while it can come from completely unexpected places. This weekend was my first genuine "it can't get any better" moment in New Zealand, and it happened with a group of complete strangers. It is easy to spend all your time with a familiar group of friends, especially being so far away from home. But studying abroad is supposed to pull you out of your comfort zone, and I started to realize that I was very uncomfortable with being so comfortable. So at the last minute, I changed my plans from a day hike in Christchurch with friends to the Bushcraft Weekend with CUTC (Canterbury University Tramping Club). Almost twenty of us ventured out to a hut in the Mt. Thomas Forest Region of Canterbury, where we left our belongings, climbed 1080 meters along a mountain ridge, and looped back around to spend the night and learn a little more about backcountry survival and etiquette in New Zealand (which I'll discuss a little in the end of this post, to spare my dorky excitement over these differences for those of you that don't spend as much time outdoors/those of you who don't making a living educating people on how to spend their time outdoors). Long story short, the night ended with an incredible campfire by the river with a sky filled with more stars than I have ever seen before. While this is more than enough to put a smile on my face, the best part was the people. I was the only American, and in addition to a few Kiwis (New Zealanders), fellow club members came from the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Holland, Shanghai, Austria, and Finland. I've always said one of the reasons I love the woods is that it has the power to put everyone on the same level: it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, from the city or the country- either you're prepared to handle the elements or you're not, and that's all that matters. Turns out it does the same thing with nationality; after a day of crossing rivers and shuffling up steep hills with new friends from all over the world, this fire was the perfect way to reflect on a shared experience with a dozen different accents. I took far less pictures this weekend than I normally do because sometimes it is better to be selfish and enjoy the moment for yourself, rather than trying to document it for everyone else. While around the fire, I had a conversation with an Austrian who I had spent the day hiking with. He served in the military for six years prior to coming to Christchurch, and he was talking to me about parachuting and jumping out of airplanes. This got me thinking about Band of Brothers and World War II- where does the hate come from to cause that amount of destruction? There is no doubt in my mind that the outcome of that war could have been very different if someone had taken all the major political figures of the time and put them around a campfire with a bottle of Brandy and a bag of marshmallows (of course, Hitler would have benefited from some serious psychotherapy, but that's besides the point…). In conclusion, there is so much beauty in simplicity. Society would be going in a much better direction if we all remembered that a little more often… As always, thank you for your time. And for all of my Adirondack hiking friends and anyone else who may be interested, see below for some differences that have taken some serious getting used to here. Enjoy! -jmk New York Hiking vs. New Zealand Tramping NY: We can't give you a time estimate! NZ: Wrong- we can give you a time estimate. In fact, that is the only thing we're giving you. Every sign for every track lists the destination and the time to get there, but it says nothing about elevation or mileage. Good luck! NY: Bear Resistant Food Canisters are mandatory when camping in the backcountry! NZ: Don't step on any sheep. Besides that, there's nothing to worry about. NY: If you don't like Guardia, purify your water. NZ: What is that funny looking pump thing for? NY: Please stay on the canter of the trail, especially in the fragile alpine zone! NZ: Trail? NY: That river may be past your knees now, so you can't go on that trail. NZ: This river may be close to your shoulders, make sure everything in your pack is in a waterproof bag. Might not be a bad idea to cross with someone else so you don't get carried away, current looks kind of strong… NY: Yes, Marcy is a difficult hike so you need to be in good physical condition. We can't give you a time estimate but plan on being out all day. NZ: Okay today we're doing an easy-medium difficulty hike. Its only 1200 meters (4000 feet) of elevation gain, we should summit in under 3 hours. (um… WHAT.)

So nice to hear you had an amazing easter break as well, jackie! I spent some time in the mountains (although driving around, not hiking) and found it equally as breathtaking and contemplative. Maybe it's a mountain thing: they're so huge, it's hard not to think about the meaning of life, right?
Also visited Christchurch, but you guys were on your IES trip to Raro already. I loved spending time in your home, though. A lot of sadness, but a lot of hope as well.
Love reading your thoughts. Cheers!

The Paris Creek Trail begins at Forest Road 4330 and ends at Middle Fork Teanaway Trail #1393.
This trail climbs steadily, staying on the north side of Paris Creek. It levels off on a bench after 1.5 miles and is in a clearcut (1990) for the next mile. After reaching the junction with Jolly Mtn. Spur 1307.1, it turns northeast (left) and climbs steeply out of the Paris Creek Basin. It then descends into the South Fork Boulder Creek and climbs again, this time to its end at the ridgetop and junction with Middle Fork Teanaway Trail 1393. While much of this trail is in good condition, portions are steep and narrow.

It was one of the biggest and bitterest feuds in pop but Spandau Ballet have finally buried the hatchet – and not in each other's heads.
Yesterday they announced they were back together and going on tour – a plan greeted with equal amounts of delight and disbelief.
The band, who split up in 1989 after scoring 17 UK Top 40 hits in the 80s, will play eight dates, starting in Dublin on October 13. Their reunion was revealed on board the HMS Belfast by Tower Bridge, where they played one of their earliest gigs in 1980.
But behind all the fuss and fanfare, the comeback was a particularly poignant day for brothers Martin and Gary Kemp.
Earlier this year both their parents passed away within 48 hours in the same Bournemouth hospital. Their dad Frank, 79, had a heart attack in January and was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In a tragic twist, mum Eileen, 77, was a patient there, recovering from a heart bypass. When her sons broke the news, she was so distraught she died soon afterwards.
Talking exclusively to the Mirror, Gary said: "The second thing my mum said after we told her dad had a heart attack and wasn't going to live, was that he was so looking forward to Spandau Ballet being back and it was such a shame.
"Both of them were very excited about the prospect of a reunion before they passed away. I can assure you my Dad would have been here today, proud as punch.
"It's given us another reason to do this. The feeling that their sons are making the wish come true and to make them proud of us."
Ironically, the Kemps' once-loathed bandmates helped them through the pain.
Gary said: "We walked into rehearsals for the first time with the other guys and our parents had just died – the funeral had only been a week or two before.
"We found ourselves with people who had good memories of them. They knew mum and dad really well because we used to fly them around the world a lot. We were very close to our families, being good working-class boys – and the rest of the band loved them, too."
Former EastEnders star Martin added: "It was really therapeutic. If I was on a film set I can't imagine being around people who would have known my parents so well.
"It would have been much harder for me to get over, but being around an alternative family made it that much easier."
Yet it was remarkable given the animosity between the band members during and after their high-profile High Court case in 1999.
Tony Hadley, Steve Norman and John Keeble were suing Gary for £1million in songwriting royalties – they eventually lost.
Gary described the battle as "like walking away from a car crash, you're glad to be alive but mortified and shocked by the wreckage".
As recently as 2007, Tony declared: "I know you should never say never, and bands in the past have said hell would freeze over before they got back together, but in our case hell is frozen and we still wouldn't do it."
But yesterday it was a very different story. Tony explained: "Once we sat down and had a pint we realised that we could be friends again and it very quickly came together.
"As soon as we played, all the rubbish, all the angst, went out of the window.
"This dispute went on for a long, long time and we were not on personal terms. But as soon as the seed was planted that there was a chance we could reform, I remembered what the band meant."
Martin said the first contact he had with anyone in the band other than his brother was on a holiday in Ibiza last year, when he realised that Steve was staying in a nearby hotel.
He said: "I started banging on Steve's door like a madman.
"We said we should start building bridges – if not to get the band back together then to get rid of the baggage of carrying a big argument around. I got Gary to fly over, and one by one everyone started coming on board."
As well as the UK dates, the band will perform in Europe, Asia, Australia and America in the near future. And they're not daunted by the prospect of a gruelling tour.
Gary said: "We just used to get wrecked all the time. We'd stay up all night and all day, do the gig and then get on the tour bus.
"We were in an awful state. I think we look after ourselves much more now."
Despite claims they will earn millions each for the shows, the band insist that getting back together isn't all about the money.
Martin said: "Being in a band is a hobby and we are lucky enough to not need the money either. We had several big offers several times but the time wasn't right."
But it certainly is now.
