Reviews for Creamy Herbed Chicken
"My husband liked this a lot. Said it had good flavor, and the chicken was very tender. I used the Knorr seasoning, and I didn't think it was too salty. This is a good, easy dinner, and I'll make it again!"
"Made it tonight. Chicken was very tender. I actually did not use the Knorr seasoning because I couldn't find it... so I used a little of the following: fresh chopped oregano, dried thyme, crushed rosemary, garlic powder and a little McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning...... and it had a great flavor - not overpowering and far from bland. I'm so glad I didn't use the Knorr seasoning since a lot of reviews says it made it too salty. I served it over buttered fettuccini noodles."
"My family loves this recipe!!"
"Ingredients on hand and a quick chicken crockpot recipe, but it was just so-so."
"Really easy to prep and throw in the crock pot and was very delicious. I used a homemade version of canned soup so I didn't get the saltiness that others did. I am looking forward to trying this again with some of the recipe changes/suggestions from the other reviewers!!!"

2015 is here. Time for new years' resolutions that are usually broken by mid January or February if you're feeling extra good that year. How about an easy resolution, why not resolve to update your website? Consider the customer experience Websites are your greatest asset. They are the first interaction between you and the customer so the design and layout have to be right. A good site that is easy to use, especially when it comes to ecommerce sites, is the difference between a sale and no sale. If customers find purchasing from your ecommerce site to be complicated and long winded, they will switch sites before the sale has gone through. You have to ensure it works and if it doesn't then an overhaul is a must. Obviously to change your site takes careful management and your time but there are some positives that you should take on board before dismissing the idea. Is Read more…

Lockout forced Chad Henne to step into a leadership role
Every week for the past two months about 20 to 30 Miami Dolphins players - primarily those on the offensive side of the ball - gather together at Nova Southeastern and play their own version of sandlot football.
Of course there's weight lifting and conditioning drills taking place five days a week during these player-only workouts, which the Dolphins were the FIRST team to start back in late March.
But a couple of times a week the offensive linemen run through their blocking schemes, and the quarterbacks, receivers, tight ends and tailbacks play pitch-and-catch with Chad Henne, the co-coordinator of the workouts led by the Michigan Boys, which are the team's two Wolverine alums.
Henne and Jake Long, the team captain who is the other half of the Michigan Boys, coordinated the workouts, and run them using a cliff-notes version of Brian Daboll's offense to teach their teammates.
According to coach Tony Sparano, the language of the offense line is the same so there's very little changes Long and his unit need to make. Their work is more about building line chemistry, and it helps that new center Mike Pouncey came to South Florida and participated for a week in the Nova workouts. He's also expected back next week I'm told.
Henne, who has a 13-14 record in his two years as the Dolphins' starter, has got the heavy lifting.
After receiving a cram session from Daboll, which ultimately got the Dolphins fined by the NFL, Henne is laboring to teach his teammates a new language… Daboll's language, and walk them through what I've repeatedly been told will be a more aggressive offense (head that one before…I'll believe it when I see it).
Becoming the team's offensive instructor has forced Henne to become a better leader, which is something that was desperately needed in order for this fourth year vet to possibly take that next step as an NFL starter.
Henne does not have a take charge, follow me personality (fact, not fiction). But I'm told he's been forced to develop one as a result of the 2011 NFL's lockout.
"He's done a really good job. It's hard to find guys numbers because they scatter out after the season…Hard to find guys who are back in town," said tailback Lex Hilliard, one of the Nova workout participants. "Guys that are here he's got a hold of them, told them when we're throwing and when we're lifting and stuff like that.
Henne's managed to get every receiver but Brandon Marshall to attend the Nova workouts. However, some of those were one time appearances because guys like Davone Bess and Brian Hartline have their own trainers, and their own programs.
"He talks to the team after every practice," Hilliard said. "That's what you expect out of a leader and he's done a great job."
I've personally heard mixed reviews of the Dolphins' player-only workouts, but it's universal that the offensive skill players do benefit.
Hilliard believes those workouts have given him and Kory Sheets a competitive advantage over rookie tailback Daniel Thomas, who is training at FAU with professionals at TEST Academy.
Hilliard said players aren't going at one another like they would in a NFL camp settings, but it is still competitive.
"When we run 40's, or 60's or 80 (yard sprints) guys are competing with one another to be the first one done. You still get that competition," said Hilliard, who hopes to compete for the vacant starting spot. "The nature of a football player is you want to be the best at whatever you're doing. It's been good. A lot of guys have been showing up. A lot of guys aren't just going through the motions. They've been getting better and stronger, which is the right thing to do."
Hilliard said the key for the offensive players to continue improve this offseason - helping last year's struggling unit match the production level of its top ranked defense - is to "not get discouraged."
"The hard work is there. Guys are willing to work, they are unselfish. That's what builds the character of your team," he said. "If we just keep on building on that, keep putting their best foot forward, that's what builds the character of your team."

On June 16, an adorable mixed breed dog was surrendered to the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facility in Baldwin Park, Calif.
The dog, who is not quite three years of age, is named "Chef," and he has been identified as a white and tan English Cocker Spaniel and Basset Hound. Despite Chef's good looks, nobody has decided to take a chance on him, and he remains impounded behind the bars of his kennel run at the animal control facility.
On the Facebook page, United Hope for Animals, the following information is posted about Chef:
Chef is a gorgeous 2-year-old white-and-tan male English Cocker Spaniel/Basset Hound mix who came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as a stray on June 16th. Weighing 37 lbs, Chef is a happy guy who enjoys the company of other dogs and bonds quickly with people.
He has gorgeous, Appaloosa-like markings, long ears that appear as though they've been crimped, and a little nub of a tail that is always on the wag. He sits nicely for his handlers, appears to be housebroken, and kicks when you scratch him behind the ears. He could use some additional leash training, as he pulls a bit.
With a medium energy level, he will do best as an indoor pet in an adult household with another dog to pal around with and people to take him on walks.
The right person for Chef is out there somewhere - they just need to be found. Please take a moment to network this handsome dog's information to help make his adoption a reality.

Alexa Guarachi and Mary Anne Macfarlane earned a top-eight seed in the NCAA Doubles Championship, awarding the duo ITA All-America honors in doubles. They will also represent the Crimson Tide individually as at-large selections in the NCAA Singles Championship.

In 2013, Toyota's Tundra half-ton pickup was voted Best Full Size Truck for the money by U.S. News and World Report. Aside from that, the 2014 Tundra is probably the most handsome pickup among the Big Three of Chevy, Ford and Ram. It has a gentle, classy exterior, but underneath its skin, it possesses a rugged build that can handle all the chores and off-road pursuits of the aforementioned trio. Tundra, however, can do it with a bit more comfort and flair.
Powered by a 5.7-liter, V-8 that (a 4.7L, V-8 is also offered) produces 381-hp and 401 lb/ft of torque, this grunt flows to the wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The combination delivers EPA mileage ratings of 13 city, 17-highway mpg. A fuel miser it's not.
Surprising though, is that as good as this truck is, Tundra has fallen behind the competition when comparing powertrains offered by Ford's EcoBoost V6 and Ram's new V6 diesel, both with comparable power ratings, but better mileage figures.
At one time, it was rumored that the Tundra was going to get a small diesel engine. Of course that never came to fruition. But it seems Toyota has the technology to have - in the least - incorporated cylinder deactivation (runs on four cylinders when cruising) to improve mileage numbers.
To its credit, Tundra's 9,700 pound tow rating is a true rating as attested to by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2807 tow standards. Tundra is the only full-size pickup to adopt the standard. A standard that SAE developed with major automotive manufacturers that uses a single, repeatable test curriculum to determine real world tow ratings for body-on-frame vehicles. [Prior to J2807, manufacturers would devise their own tests and published their ratings without third-party guidelines]
Tested was the Tundra 4WD Limited Crew Cab that came with all the amenities and features you'd normally find on a luxury sedan including a sunroof.
The interior has a robust appearance with heavily padded seats fore and aft with the fronts heated. A hefty automatic transmission shifter and brushed aluminum trim covers multiple parts of the dash and is complimented by faux wood trim. All HVAC controls are large and easy to operate with gloved hands. A 6x3.5-inch display screen includes Toyota's Entune premium audio system that is intuitive and easy to use.
Step-in to the rails is 15.5 inches or 25 into the cabin. The rear doors open wide for easy ingress/egress that can easily hold three adults or four tweens.
Tundra's 4WD system activates via a rotary dial and consists of 2WD, 4-High and 4-Low gearing. In this respect, Chevy, Ford and Ram all offer a "4WD Auto" mode that is helpful on rain-slicked roads, especially when starting off on an incline.
As for ride, even with the TRD Off-Road Package and Bilstein shocks, the Tundra was smooth and could be the best rider of all full-size pickups. Load the bed with mulch, topsoil or landscaping timbers and it would ride even better.
Handling too is rock-solid and with a light steering feel, the truck doesn't sway when being passed by an 18-wheeler that's breaking the speed limit.
Starting with a base price of $41,895 nicely loaded, Tundra's price escalated when adding such amenities as dual exhaust ($1,100), bedliner ($365), moonroof ($850), TRD Off-Road Package ($100), Limited Premium Package ($595), blind spot monitoring ($470) and Entune ($785), which brought the price to $47,815 with delivery.
As a capable hauler, offroader and boasting Toyota quality, Tundra deserves a look when cross-shopping.

Abu Hurayra al-Amriki is the given name of a U.S. citizen being recognized as the first American suicide bomber this week that killed himself in the name of al Qaeda in Syria. The true identity of the young man has not been publicly revealed yet by national officials, though it is believed that the American terrorist had a distinct link with al Qaeda prior to his violent attack. CBS News provides the details on the breaking global story available at this time this Wednesday, May 28.
Sources are reporting that the American citizen, who opted to dub himself Abu Hurayra al-Amriki, has successfully enacted a suicide bombing in the country of western Asia, the Syrian Arab Republic (commonly just called Syria). The attached photo, which features the alleged young man smiling and clutching a cat in his arms, is currently being passed along a number of radical Islamic websites.
However, a number of U.S. officials have determined that the individual is not as innocent as he appears in the picture, but rather the first American who has died fighting for the beliefs of the terrorist organization and international militant Islamist group, al Qaeda. According to the press release, Abu Hurayra al-Amriki is only a link in the puzzle of a much bigger plot.
Heavy News has also shared this evening that Jabhat al-Nusra, a well-known affiliate of al Qaeda, recently released an image showing a potential four jihadists. It appears that the man set on the right — who can be visibly seen wearing a suicide vest — is the suspected American suicide bomber, Abu Hurayra al-Amriki.
The extremist organization is now asserting in a new terrorism report that the U.S. citizen was killed this Sunday following a violent attack that occurred in the northern regions of Syria. This Memorial Day, a subseqeuent al Qaeda video was published online that offers a brief glimpse of a foreign truck being stocked with a variety of bombs, as well as a later explosion that occurred at a local government building.
Equally disturbing among this slew of chilling news is that al Qaeda had recently vowed that a deadly terrorist attack — a suicide bombing — would be coming from an actual American in the near future. As early as this May 2014, a video was circulating online that showcased a censored man (capable of clearly speaking English) that was actively requesting his brothers stand together to fight for the Islam faith.
At this point in time, concludes the breaking report, U.S. security officials have not provided the young man's name, though they say that they do know the identity of this Abu Hurayra al-Amriki. A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) spokesman added that it is believed al-Amriki has not acted in an isolated way, but that a few dozen U.S. citizens may have traveled to Syria to aid al Qaeda in their bombing plots. The investigation is ongoing.

New details about Jenise Wright's killer have been released as of Monday morning (Aug. 11), and the suspect's name has been leaked via social media -- mostly due to the boy's neighbors talking about him. That's not the only new update in the case. This source reports that the slain child's father wants the public to "forgive" the 17-year-old boy accused of killing her. It takes an incredible amount of resolve to be able to speak out like this so soon after learning that his little girl was raped and killed by someone who lived "just around the corner" from their home. It's also the nicest thing being said about the young man -- who is not being named in media, but is being flung all over Twitter, Facebook and assorted crime forums.
"He seemed to be a fairly nice kid. He always was pleasant. Other than that, I don't know anything about the 17-year-old," said one of the slain child's neighbors (of the suspect).
The teen is expected to appear in court for the first time today, and neighbors have witnessed investigators removing items from his family's home -- including at least three vehicles. So it's certain that there is a big case brewing against him -- possibly a case as big as the one against Austin Sigg, the teen who killed Jessica Ridgeway. Will his name and face be revealed today when the media undoubtedly storms the county courthouse where he'll be attending his first hearing? Hopefully, because the public needs to be aware of just who stands accused of this horrific crime.
This story -- like so many others of this nature -- goes to show that you simply cannot trust anyone, and you definitely do not know your neighbors, even if you think you do. That's why it's absolutely important to pay attention when it comes to letting your kids out to play. Had this child been watched properly, she would be alive today. Unfortunately, the teen accused of killing her would probably still find another innocent child to rape and kill.

I fell in love with this dress! It is truly unique and is a real stunner. I am 5'8, 127 pounds. I am a 32 bust and a 28 waist 34 hips and this dress fit snugly but was the right choice in size. My boobs (32DD) wouldn't fit in the bra cup as it came. I had my seamstress delicately sew in beautiful organza type straps which complement the dress perfectly. They are sewn in very thoughtfully, for easy removal if the next bride wants it to be as it came (strapless). I also had the bottom layer slightly hemmed a few inches, but this can be undone as well. All in all, the alterations were about $120, and made the dress truly unique.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE ; 19 July 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430719-TC-MAC-01; CL 16: 296-297
Abergwili, Carmarthen, South Wales 19 july (Wednesday), 1843—
My dear Mother,
Yesterday came John's Letter; and by it I learn that today about this time (3 o'clock), you are probably set down at Gill, and the Doctor gone off towards Liverpool. I see it all here in this strange City and Bishop's House; and cannot but send you dear Mother a half word of salutation, tho' I have hardly half a minute of time! I already sent you a Newspaper the day before yesterday (and another to Gill), and a Letter to John yesterday; but both these would go to Scotsbrig, and you will have yet no news of me.
I got here safe on Monday evening; was and still am safe lodged with the Bishop,—in a grand mansion, which it is not easy to get at home in all at once! A much smaller one would serve me. Abergwili is a poor village little bigger than Middlebie, some two miles from Carmarthen, which is a straggling blae[bluish-grey]-looking old Welsh City about the size of Dumfries or smaller. Our Bishop's House and Park is the foundation of Abergwili; a sovereign palace for that little hamlet. The Bishop himself is a man I like well;—tho' were he not a Bishop I could like him far better! There is but one thing more I will add: this was Archbishop Laud's House! the portrait of that miserable chimera still hangs here; and we go every morning soon after seven o'clock to do our devotions in a Chapel established by him. The present Bishop knows how I hate him, and does not disapprove much. I attend at the "morning service" out of politeness and to avoid scandal,—but cannot boast that I pray much there. It will "do thee neither ill ne' guid!"1—
However, I will tell you about all that, dear Mother; for I hope we are soon to meet. I have just written to the Doctor to say that I expect to meet him in Liverpool on Saturday evening first. I leave this on Friday morning; stay all night at a place called Glo'ster (Gloucester), a town I wanted to see, then get into railways, to Birmingham, and finally to Liverpool, by a very easy route. I had some more visits; but give them up since John is come. The most part of Mr Welsh's people, as he himself is, are absent about Glasgow or west of that at sea-bathing: "there will be the more room for you," says our little cousin.2 After a little pause at Liverpool I propose to Jack that we go over, and have a few days walking among the hills in North Wales. I will write to you how we get on,—if I know correctly where you are! Jenny or some of them may write a word. Stay where you are, dear Mother, and bathe quietly; you are quite safe of me for some time yet,—say two weeks almost; not till after the tides are done!
But I have to go out and ride with my Bishop; I must cease. Jane is well and cheery, still engaged among painters. I send my affectionate regards to all at Gill, Jamie, Mary, Jenny, and all the small ones: Good be with them all. Hoping soon to meet once again by God's great goodness, I bid my dear Mother farewell for this day. Dear good Mother!—
T. Carlyle

More: You give new meaning to the term shattering the glass ceiling.
Anita DeFrantz: [Laughs] Thank you, but at the end of the day, I believe everyone should have access to sports.
More: What goes through your mind when people refer to you as the most powerful woman in the Olympic-sports movement?
ADF: I think, Hmm, when was the last time I pumped iron? I guess what goes through my mind is thinking, Everything else is meaningless unless I can do something to help other folks. I really want to make a difference, to help other athletes.
More: What is your definition of making a difference?
ADF: I will always work hard to make sure people have a fair chance and will continue to work toward the goal of trying to make things better.
More: With barriers you broke, you became the first African-American and the first American woman to serve on the committee, and you became the first female vice president of the IOC executive committee.
ADF: Being first is not as important as making sure you are not the last. Two other women have followed me, and I hope more women will continue to work in these positions.
More: Was it an easy climb to the top?
ADF: I don't know. I just did it. I really didn't think about if it was easy or not. If anything, I learned that if there is something important you want to achieve, just do your best and make it happen.
More: Did you do your best?
ADF: Doing my best gave me the chance to say that we have women Olympians everywhere, and future contenders now have role models they can look up to. I feel proud knowing every sport in the Olympics has women present. That is important for children to see, because it is all about equality and making sure everyone has a place.
More: Who was your role model?
ADF: Certainly my mother, the first Anita DeFrantz. My great-grandmother is also a great role model. Although she was small in size, she was very powerful in strength. She had the power to take care of my mom while being able to encourage me to believe I can do whatever I want to do in this world. Although she was denied an education past the fifth grade, she taught me the most valuable lesson: to believe I can go as far as I want to.
More: You are inspired by strength.
ADF: I am inspired by courage. My historical role model was Harriet Tubman, who insisted on her own freedom and then had the courage to go back a number of times to free hundreds of other people.
More: What was the most difficult obstacle you have had to overcome to get to your level?
ADF: I don't know how to answer that question, because every day is another obstacle. I will say this: If you manage to get past them, then they weren't so difficult.
More: No disappointments along the way?
ADF: Not getting to the Moscow Games was one of them. I had to fight for that and ultimately sue the United States Olympic Committee for our right to decide who can compete or not. [The U.S. boycotted the Moscow Games in 1980 and didn't permit athletes to participate on their own.] I still believe it is the athletes' right to make that decision and not anyone else's. That was a terrible thing that happened.
More: Aside from that, have you achieved everything you set out to do?
ADF: I know I haven't. In addition to not competing in Moscow, I did not win the election to be president of the IOC. But I don't look at any of this as a negative. I look at the positive, which was being able to help people, and even today that is what I concentrate on. My daily job now is to encourage young people to take up sports.
More: You have helped a lot of young talent achieve their dreams through a very special foundation.
ADF: Yes, the LA84 Foundation. Aside from the incredible research we have been able to do, we have put over $200 million back in the community in sports through grants and through teaching over 70,000 people how to coach, which is also so very important.

The unique Amorphophallus titanum, commonly known as titan arum or the "corpse flower," is a large, fast-growing plant in the Aroid family. Few of these plants exist in cultivation, and they bloom only rarely and under just the right conditions. On the extremely infrequent occasion that a titan arum comes into flower, the intense, foul odor, emitted from a tall spike of small, crowded flowers, lasts just a few days.
Every year or two, the plant sends up one long, gigantic, rolled-up leaf that unfurls its umbrella-like blade during a period of about three weeks. The leaf lives for one or two years before the plant goes into a dormant period that lasts from a few months to a year. The inflorescence, a giant flowering structure, opens quickly, often in just a couple of hours. It maintains its full form for about 24 hours, with peak bloom (and the awful odor) lasting from 6 to 12 hours.
"We are delighted to have one of the world's most iconic plants, the titan arum, flowering at the Missouri Botanical Garden. It is an important symbol of the incredible diversity of the world's plants, which we all need to work to conserve in cultivation and in their natural habitats. By growing this species in botanic gardens we can raise awareness of the loss of its tropical forest home in the island of Sumatra, a part of Indonesia."
–Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson
Missouri Botanical Garden President
Witness the recent flowering of a titan arum at the Garden.
In a surprising turn of events, the Garden has hosted the blooming of an unprecedented five Amorphophallus titanum plants in just over three years.

Study published in Nature also reveals a new pathway through which SIRT1 acts. [© Orlando Florin Rosu]
Sirtuin1, which previously has been linked to slowing aging, also promotes memory and brain flexibility, according to researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory. Their findings appear in the July 11 issue of Nature in a paper titled "A novel pathway regulates memory and plasticity via SIRT1 and miR-134."
Recent studies have linked SIRT1 to normal brain physiology and neurological disorders. However, it was unknown if SIRT1 played a role in higher-order brain functions.
The Picower Institute study demonstrates a new role for SIRT1 in cognition and a previously unknown mechanism by which SIRT1 regulates these processes. The team found that SIRT1 enhances synaptic plasticity and memory formation. They also found that SIRT1 aids memory and synaptic plasticity by keeping a specific miRNA in check, allowing key plasticity proteins to be expressed.
Activation of SIRT1 enhances, whereas its loss-of-function impairs, synaptic plasticity. These effects were mediated via post-transcriptional regulation of cAMP response binding protein (CREB) expression by a brain-specific miRNA, miR-134. SIRT1 normally functions to limit expression of miR-134 via a repressor complex containing the transcription factor YY1. Unchecked miR-134 expression following SIRT1 deficiency results in the downregulated expression of CREB and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, thereby impairing synaptic plasticity.
These results describe a separate branch of SIRT1 signaling, in which SIRT1 has a direct role in regulating normal brain function in a manner that is disparate from its cell-survival functions. "We demonstrated previously that Sirtuin1 promotes neuronal survival in age-dependent neurodegenerative disorders," says Li-Huei Tsai, director of the Picower Institute and lead author of the study.
"This result demonstrates a multifaceted role of SIRT1 in the brain and further highlights its potential as a target for the treatment of neurodegeneration and conditions with impaired cognition, with implications for a wider range of central nervous system disorders," adds Tsai, who is also Picower professor of neuroscience and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.

A Central Islip man was arrested Sunday after cops said he injured a Nassau County police detective while being detained for allegedly shoplifting at a Walmart store in Massapequa, according to an April 6 police news release.
Jose L. Rodriguez, 28, was charged with second-degree assault, resisting arrest, endangering the welfare of a child, three counts of second-degree possession of a forged instrument and petit larceny.
Cops said he was being detained by store security around 3 p.m. when two Nassau County police detectives arrived to conduct an unrelated investigation.
Rodriguez was informed he was being placed under arrest before his wife and two children – ages 2 and 4 – arrived at the security office, police said. A detective told them they needed to leave, but Rodriguez "attempted to exit the office with his family," according to the news release. He then allegedly refused to sit down and struggled with the detectives as they tried to handcuff him.
One of the detectives suffered a hand injury during the scuffle and was taken to the hospital.
Police said Rodriguez was also found with "three forged documents," but provided no further details about those charges.
He was scheduled to face a judge Monday at First District Court in Hempstead.

Miami Dolphins: What the Gibril Wilson release tells us
If you haven't seen it, agent Alvin Keels has posted this on Twitter:
"The Dolphins will be releasing safety Gibril Wilson 2day which will make him free to sign with any other team."
And other teams are free to avoid him. I believe that's the 25th Amendment.
The Wilson episode should tell us three things:
1. Don't take anything that anyone in this regime says at face value. You remember Bill Parcells saying that Jason Taylor would either play for the Dolphins or retire, just before trading Taylor? Or Jeff Ireland, while not explicitly saying at last month's Combine that Wilson would be back, still speaking in positive terms about the safety's Dolphins future and potential? And you've probably caught onto the Tony Sparano kiss of death — when the coach says a guy's doing a "good job," that guy ought to start packing. (See Matt Roth, among others. Thankfully, Sparano doesn't seem to think I do a good job.) Again, I don't necessarily blame them for misleading or, at the least, choosing not to divulge certain information. It's part of the game. But we should all just stop accepting what they say as gospel. It's not gospel. It's strategy.
2. Don't get too excited about free agent signings. I should go back and find some of the comments from bloggers here last year, when Wilson signed. It was a steal, supposedly. Well, not so much. We watched Wilson play patty-cake with assorted tight ends. And the same overhyping will occur this year. Almost invariably, players are available in free agency for a very good reason. NFL teams must be built through the draft. Free agency, with rare exceptions, just provides an opportunity to temporarily plug a few holes.
3. This regime will admit and try to erase mistakes, at least in terms of free agency. It did so with Ernest Wilford. It did so with Wilson. That is a plus, and a difference from predecessors. Now, if some of their draft picks don't develop (Pat White for one), we'll see if they do the same.
Does the Wilson mistake leave you with less confidence about this free agent period?
(For those reading after 5 p.m. I did expand on this item after the initial posting. I was assigned to cover the Honda golf tournament today, so I posted something, returned from the course, and completed the item.)

Replacing the Nvidia 9400M and 9600M GT cards of previous gen models is the GeForce GT 320M and 330M, with a choice of graphics memory options. The 15 and 17-inch MacBooks
The 15-inch model also gains the option of a higher resolution screen with either glossy or matte coatings: 1680 x 1050 pixels against the standard 1440 x 900. All other features are pretty much the same, as is the starting price for each model: $1,199 for the 13-inch MacBook Pro, $1,799 for the 15-inch version and $2,299 the 17-inch behemoth. The new notebooks will start shipping within 24 hours, according to Apple's store.
*Update: AppleInsider informs that the GPU switching technology used on the MacBooks was developed in-house by Apple and is not Nvidia's Optimus.

Lands' End names new chief marketing officer
Lands' End Inc. on Tuesday said it has promoted a longtime executive to chief marketing officer, quickly filling a post left vacant a month ago.
Named to the position, and to an executive vice president slot, is Becky Gebhardt, formerly chief creative officer with the Dodgeville-based retailer. Gebhardt has been with Lands' End since 1991.
In her new role — a critical one for any retailer — Gebhardt succeeds Steven Rado, whose resignation was disclosed last month in a filing with securities regulators. No reason was given for Rado's departure. Lands' End said in the filing that it planned to search externally for a replacement.
The firm also said Tuesday that it has hired Mike Zhang as vice president for e-commerce, digital marketing and innovation, and promoted Mike Holahan to senior vice president for multichannel marketing. Both men will report to Gebhardt.

anyone have any thoughts or resources for a single mother of 3 homeschooled kids thinking of moving to eugene? love and blessings and thanks~
posted by:
Kansas City
Re: why should i move to eugene?Fri, April 6, 2007 - 1:48 PMI hope people does post to this. I am also planning to move to Oregon this year but have not decided on the exact city. I know what I would love to live around but so far I see it almost all over Oregon. Mountains, lakes, stream, and ocean. I just want to be in a place where I can enjoy some PRIVACY, but that also depends on what the city has to offer.
Re: why should i move to eugene?Tue, May 8, 2007 - 1:54 PMI can't speak specifically to the resources that would most help a single mother. However I can tell you that Eugene is full of amazing communities. Though the entire northwest, including Oregon, tends to be a very friendly relaxed place, to me Eugene seems particularly so. I've never been to a place where you can stop to talk to strangers on the street, and they seem more than happy to make friendly conversation, going so far as to invite you to their homes for potlucks, or family dinners. What's more, i don't feel uncomfortable taking them up on the offers.
Beyond that eugene is a beautiful city (as long as you focus on the neighborhoods and not the business areas). I think every spring and summer I'm here I'm more surprised by the sheer volume of flowers and fruits available. It's only 45 minutes from the coast, and then 45 minutes in the other direction you're in the heart of the casscades, so outdoor oportunities abound. If you live in the city, its extroardinarily easy to ride your bike (or the bus when it's rainging) across town, or even out into the surrounding small towns.
i don't know what else to say really. Eugene isn't for everyone. If you want to raise your children conservatively as republicans, it could be more difficult here than other places, for that you may want to go over the mountains to central or Eastern Oregon. If you're down with the fair family vibe though, Eugene is about as nice aplace as you can find.
Sorry for ranting, obviously I enjoy living here.
Re: why should i move to eugene?Sat, August 4, 2007 - 3:28 PMHi Doe, I'm thinking of moving to Eugene too. :) I would like to get out of the Red Midwest and move to the Blue West.
Re: why should i move to eugene?Sun, June 22, 2008 - 4:28 PMi agree with liliy-
eugene is a magical city- there are some areas of town that you may not want to raise a child in, but most of the others are wonderful!!!!! i now 28, slill live in the house i was born in here in south eugene. my mother wanted to sell the house and as far back as i can remember i threw fits and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. i now raise my child here and still love it!!!! i lived in houston and dallas texas with my brother for a year when i was in high school and couldn't wait to get back to the comfort of the woods, people and events eugene has to offer. we in eugene are really like a huge family. some of us argue and some of us whine about life, but most of us have been all over the world and have come back becuse no matter how much fun or experiences we've seen in the rest of the world we have a nagging in our souls to return to our "motherland". i know i may sound like a granola, but i guess i am.- and that's not a bad thing if you've ever had the pleasure to meet one! look at sites on the web about eugene and a map and you will see we are the jewel of the northwest. we are even called the emerald city! it's hard not to rant about eugene, it's the greatest city i've ever been to and i've traveled alot. i was borm here and will die here under a beutiful fir tree.
-blessings and protection-
Re: why should i move to eugene?Sat, July 18, 2009 - 11:52 AMeugene has a TERRIBLE unemployment rate... and about 0 jobs right now... but other then that is is AMAZING!
Re: why should i move to eugene?Sun, July 19, 2009 - 5:47 AMUnemployment is in ALL 50 States....here in Alabama it just hit 10.6% unemployment.
Re: why should i move to eugene?Sun, July 19, 2009 - 10:11 AMOregon is #3 on the unemployment rate at 12.1%, Eugene in particular is at 9.4%
Re: why should i move to eugene?Wed, July 22, 2009 - 11:17 AMI seriously love Oregon, in particular I love western Oregon. I'd recommend either trying Eugene or Cottage Grove, in my opinion. Cottage Grove is a smaller town, I live in it, and it's about 20-30 mins south of Eugene. But, either place is way nice. I love it here, and wouldn't wanna live anywhere else. The place is magical.

Mommy and me Wednesday matinee at 10:30 am at 1822 N. Vermont Ave. Great to do when the kids are out of school.
Beautiful Holiday Lights
Los Feliz is the perfect place to view holiday lights and decorations. When my daughter was young, we used to gather together as a family in my mom and dad's camper with its big windows and drive the streets. Armed with hot chocolate in Thermoses, we drove the streets, oohing and aahing at the sparkling and colorful lights and inventive decorations.
Los Feliz usually has the DWP Lights Festival but this year, due to prolonged construction, it is not open. Hopefully the construction will be complete by next year.
Relatives in town/ Children Off from School
Geocaching is a new way for family and friends to have fun and explore the Los Feliz area. It is a fabulous blend of an old-fashioned treasure hunt and modern day technology. In our family, it appeals to my husband's love of computers, his Iphone, and technology in general, to my love of treasure hunts that take me back to childhood and college days, and to our children and grandchildren's love of the hunt.
Here is how geocaching works. All over the world, people have hidden small boxes and other containers that contain a log for recording the finder's name and often, little trinkets and trackers. Trackers are the official geocaching item that has a tracking number that keeps track of the travels of these items.
In order to find these caches, you go online to geocaching.com and look up an area where you want to search for a cache. I looked up 90027 and found many interesting possibilities. You make note of the area and the GPS coordinates, then off you go in search of the cache. Now these hiders are quite clever so you have to use the clues the other cache finders have left to solve the puzzle and locate the cache.
When you find the container, sign in on the log. If there is a tracker, you can take it and place it in a new cache that you find next time. At the end of your caching day, whether you have one or several, log on and record what you have done at geocache.com. It is nice to leave a clue on the computer record if you found that a cache was tricky to find. We ended up eating in a great restaurant right next to a cache, an added bonus to the experience.
So if you find yourself with family and friends looking for something fun to do that can take 20 minutes or several hours or you need everyone out of the house so you can cook or wrap packages, try geocaching. We have found that we learn something new about our Los Feliz neighborhood every time.
Happy Hunting!
Holiday Shopping for Chanukah and Stocking Treats
Holiday shopping is truly upon us. I was raised in a traditional manner here in Los Angeles; Christmas shopping only began after Thanksgiving. There were no early holiday purchases, decorations or holiday music. While times have changed now that I have grandchildren, I still leave the stocking presents for close to the holiday. In Los Feliz, there are many delightful places to buy great holiday gifts and stocking stuffers.
For the coffee or tea drinker:
- (Starbucks on Vermont and Prospect (http://www.starbucks.com/store/15113),
- Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on Hillhurst (http://coffeebean.com/location.aspx?UserID=38650288&SessionID=iqKCsPjuBOLdZnkvRAld),
- Intelligentsia on W. Sunset (http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/locations/view/)
- A new book by a favorite or new author plus an interesting selection of books you might not find everywhere ( Skylight Books on N. Vermont (http://www.skylightbooks.com/))
- Theater tickets are a nice treat at Los Feliz 3 on 1822 N. Vermont Ave.
When our grown children come with the grandchildren, it opens the door to much more shopping. Great toys and children's clothes can be purchased at:
- Dragonfly Dulou on Hillhurst Ave. (http://www.dragonflydulou.com/contact)
- La La Ling on N. Vermont ) http://www.lalaling.com/e-store/cnt_store.asp).
Farmer's Markets
- The Farmer's Market on Hollywood just west of Vermont at Barnsdall Park on Wednesday from noon to 6 pm is a great source of food goodies and handmade items.
Los Feliz Library- A Jewel in the Crown
Remember the library; Los Feliz has a great one.
Los Feliz library (http://www.lapl.org/branches/Branch.php?bID=36) is one of the jewels in the crown of the Los Angeles Public Library system. Located at the corner of Franklin and Hillhurst Ave, it is a community center for much more than books. We are so lucky to have a beautiful building with natural light and wonderful spaces to enjoy many neighborly experiences.
As a preschool, we regularly uses this library to get books that reflect activities in the classroom and children's interests. The book collection offers so much to choose from; the 56,000 books is very thoughtfully and well put together. This collection is loaded with current titles and excellent breadth of subjects. The librarians are very knowledge, always able to guide with great suggestions. There are movies to rent and books on tape. They have a program that allows interlibrary
The library is much more than books. It offers a wide variety of programs such ascomputer classes, author program, architectural lectures, monthly book discussions, music performances, chess, and a quilting circle.
One of the lesser known treasures of the library that I have been wanting to try is the Scrabble Club. I love Scrabble but I am part of a family who are not enthusiasts. On Saturday morning, people with all levels of skills put their Scrabble boards under their arms and come to the community room to find a similarly skilled partner. I loved the friendships and goodwill that were evident the day I visited.
The children's story hours are always lovely and many of the preschool families have enjoyed many hours with well-chosen books.
A library card and the Los Feliz Library are definitely a passport to hours of enjoyment.
For Last Minute Boxing and Shipping Needs
No matter how we try and how careful we are in our planning, there is always something that needs to ship at the last minute. Box Brothers on Hillhurst Ave (http://www.boxbrosla.com/boxtest/store-locations/box-bros-los-feliz-village) has everything you need. They can do any kind of shipping from electronics to antiques and also provide a valet boxing pick-up service if you aren't able to get to the store (or want to avoid long lines). They will also assist you in helping to find the exact size box you need so you can pay for only what you need. They have loads of packing materials as well. They save us every year.
I wish you a wonderful holiday and a great new year.

First time writer Jack Paglen and cinematographer-turned-first-time-director Wally Pfister bit off more than they can chew with "Transcendence;" the plot travels everywhere as the sci-fi movie attempts a timely social commentary. Hopefully better on a second viewing with its DVD and blu-ray release on Jul. 22, 2014, "Transcendence" initiates conversation and lingering thought better than it entertains.
Will Caster (Johnny Depp) and wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) are prominent scientists, mainly in artificial intelligence, aiming to progress technology in unimaginable ways. When a terrorist group attacks multiple locations at the same time, Will is shot with a toxic bullet. As he nears death, Evelyn and a friend, Max Waters (Paul Bettany), aid Will in loading his mind into a computer, basically. Max has doubts, but Evelyn is desperate to save Will in some form. As Will's A.I. becomes more and more powerful, people either follow him like sheep or fear him.
From a random worker at the Casters' base (portrayed by Clifton Collins, Jr.) and a military leader (Cole Hauser) to members of the terrorist group (Kate Mara, Lukas Haas) and an investigative agent (Cillian Murphy), "Transcendence" loads too many characters with no personality together, only there to drive the plot forward. It's a messy script with an over-emphasized love story that needs some fine-tuning.
Despite its failings, "Transcendence" is one of the most thought-provoking, though heavy-handed, films of the year. It argues that people worship technology with good intentions without facing the consequences or looking ahead. Will's transcendence from human into computer program is a kind of miracle, but he manipulates and uses his followers, turning them into his sheep. And the one that recognizes that this technology has become a new religion is, of course, a Christian.
Though it probably deserves a second watch for its discussion of morality, ethics, and fear and questions the fate of the human race with its dependence on technology, "Transcendence" is forgettable.
Rating for "Transcendence:" C-

Since entering adulthood, Joe Mullin has lived a simple, yet sometimes lonely life. Content with not evolving with the times, he's watched the age of technology bloom like a wildflower, while leaving him tangled up in its roots. Joe sees no reason to change his simple ways. Simple had always worked, but he knew he was also missing out on things.
Pushing 40, this awkwardly shy simpleton is determined to find true love for the first time. He turns to his two worldly, but very compulsive friends for help, and their dating advice is about to turn Joe's dull and routine life upside down. They lead him into a dangerous and unpredictable world where even the strong and confident have been reduced to tears and misery many times over. It's a world where trouble and deceit lurk around every corner and although many play to win, only few prevail.
Joe Mullin is entering the world of Online Dating and is jumping in with both feet. A new laptop computer and high tech cell phone pave the way for a hysterical journey full of "interesting" women and crazy situations that violently rip Joe out of his comfort zone and take him on the wildest ride of his life. But will it all be worth it in the end, or will he crash and burn like so many before him?

AL Game 54
Kish 19
Quotations 3
Behind solid pitching performances from Connor Martin and Pete Scheuerman Kish Funeral Home downed Quotatations Restaurant in the last regular season game. Shay Roddy, Brian Treston and Mike Roberts had three hits each and Josh Bannister and Bryan Mizell each collected two hits for Kish who will be entering the playoffs with some hot bats. P.J. Quinn, Tim Divis and Quinn Walsh collected hits for Quotations.
Kish catcher, Shay Roddy was the defensive star as he threw out two Quotations runners on attempted steals. Kish pitchers were also helped by a tough running catch of a fly ball to rightfield by J.B. Burdsall and a game ending shoestring catch of a pop up by shortstop, Josh Bannister.

The Hour of the Star
by Clarice Lispector
Analysis: Writing Style
So, the narrator claims that he wants to keep his writing style simple:
Like every writer, I am clearly tempted to use succulent terms: I have at my command magnificent adjectives, robust nouns, and verbs so agile that they glide through the atmosphere as they move into action. For surely words are actions? Yet I have no intention of adorning the word, for were I to touch the girl's bread, that bread would turn to gold—and the girl … would be unable to bite into it, and consequently die of hunger. (1.16)
Well, as you can see, he doesn't always succeed. Even this passage is complex. Sure, none of the words are going to send you to the dictionary, but that complex metaphor about changing the girl's bread into gold? Yeah, clear as mud.
(BTW: what's going on there is he's saying that fancying up the girl's life—turning it into "gold"—will end up doing her a disservice, because it would make her life into something that she didn't understand.)
And for a real look at the way this narrator works, check out this passage:
The words are sounds transfused with shadows that intersect unevenly, stalactites, woven lace transposed organ music. I can scarcely invoke the words to describe this pattern, vibrant and rich, morbid and obscure, its counterpoint the deep bass of sorrow. Allegro con brio. I shall attempt to extract gold from charcoal. I know that I am holding up the narrative and playing at ball without a ball. Is the fact an act? I swear that this book is composed without words: like a mute photograph. This book is a silence: an interrogation. (1.23)
First, we just have to say: this is amazing writing. It's just beautiful. The musical imagery, the glorious words, the playful treatment of the act of writing—it's spectacular.
Second, we admit that it's not something you can just skim over. But why would you want to, when you can revel in the complex, suggestive images he's creating?

In light of the fact I didn't finish Syndicate and writing a review for the game seems rather cumbersome for such a crappy game that can be so easily summed up with the words "Just Don't Get It" and nothing else in the entire review, I've decided to sum up Syndicate in an Impressions Article.
The best place to start in these matters is generally the good of the product. Of which there is not much in this game. The combat is barely passable, constantly ruining itself by removing its core game play mechanics of the chip stuck in your brain. While you are supposed to be the most powerful modern example of the Agent (corporate enforcers that work for the multinational syndicates) each boss, whom are other agents, each are more powerful than the player. Their health is higher, their abilities better, and their equipment vastly outstretches your own.
Some of the environments do make for impressive settings but instead of opting for an open hub system like Deus Ex where you can take in these sites and the lifestyles of this futuristic society under corporate rule you are instead shoved down linear levels and even though they are linear you will still occasionally find yourself lost. Not in the I don't know which path to take mentality but in the I have no idea what minor object I need to interact with in order to proceed. This will lead you to wondering around small areas looking for a hatch or something else to interact with.
The worse offence to the whole game is the glare. It doesn't matter how you adjust the screen you eyes will be stung with a painful glare and blurry visuals. Many games we say metaphorically are painful to play but this was the first I have ever encountered over my lifetime of gaming where the game literally caused me pain. I had to stop playing because my eyes were hurting and it developed into a headache, of which I very rarely get.
Where I cut off was the final boss. In a prime example of just how horrible this game is on normal the boss with 5-6 health bars, a shield, quick movement speed, and a Gatling gun can easily out match you since you can't use any of your powers on him other than raising up cover that he can quickly run around. Then while you wait to load after each irritating defeat the game will literally crash. After awhile of going through this I decided that the game was simply not worth finishing and took it back to gamestop where I got only $24.20 and this was the day after it launched!
There is a four player multiplayer which I heard was pretty good but simply decided not to endulge in. The upgrade system, combat, visuals, and game was utterly a waste and I failed to see how adding 3 more players to the mix would somehow improve the formula.
On a last note there is the story. The story basically centers not around you but around the terrorist who they cast as the heroine. In a shocking bit of unrealistic, can't suspend my disbelief and clearly example of forgetting the lore of their own game the game ends with what the hacks for writers assumed was something revolutionary but forgot one small itsy bitsy tiny little detail. EuroCorp is headquarted in Europe and another Syndicate will simply move in and take over if EuroCorp decides to abandon the New York Market.
In short the main characters would all be very dead shortly after the end of the game, I give them about a week before agents come and finish them off. On top of that you'll greatly wish you could kill Lilly Drawl who you can basically guess would be a horrible character after watching the trailer with her voice actor. (Think ditz and you won't be far off)
In conclusion the game is a waste of time, money, and proved the fans of the original Syndicate correct when they said this game would be horrible. Save yourself some money and time, not just time that you'll waste with the game but the time you'll spend cursing the moment that you decided to actually pick this game up.
