Christian Worch (National Liste-NL)
|1 Jan 1990
|Letter Worch to Ewald Bela Althans, enclosing DM 300 for P's forthcoming speech (3 March) and informing him that P's fee has been forwarded to Ernst Zündel.Offers to discuss details with Karl Phlipp if necessary.
|1 Jan 1990
|Letter Worch to Zündel.'I am convinced that 1990 and the whole nineties will be better for our people as the last four-and-half decades, but I also hope that it will be a better decade for all our comrades.' Informs Zündel that although the media have identified 1,100 "'neo-Nazis"' in fonner East Gennany, only 10 or 20% have 'really earned 'this classification' according to 'our West German standards '. Raises his concerns about P's March appearance after P's 'small "'fauxpas"' in Hagenau ' ...when he had to bring up these stories about the Riga shootings. But Ewald [ Althans ] explained to me that Irving has a choice of two presentations on this tour, with which we don't have to reckon with such irritating details for our listeners.[...] Naturally clearly more agreeable than the presentation in Hagenau!' Worch makes clear how pleased he is to have engaged P: ' DM 1,000 for the speaker and DM 300 for the organiser seems to me decidedly cheap. It is worth double or triple the amount to me.' Concerning Althans's homosexuality, Worch informs Zündel that from his' experience in the discussions around Michael Kuhnen I know only too well that it is important to quickly and decisively nip the rumour- mongering in the bud.
|15 Jan 1990
|Contractual agreement signed by Althans and Worch for their respective organisations (AVO and NL) for P's 3 March speaking engagement.
|16 Jan 1990
|Letter Worch to Althans on headed NL notepaper, requesting he hold the meeting in the name of the NL if neither Althans or P had any objections, as it would make booking rooms easier.
|9 Feb 1990
|Letter Worch to P outlining and enclosing security measures for the meeting. Informs P that he is hosting meeting as a private individual although invitations have been extended in the name of the NL.' Mr Althans also implied that you have been, so to say, warned about me, perhaps also because ofmy contact to Mr [Michael] Kuhnen. Naturally I had (and have) close connections to Mr Kühnen, just as I have connections to Mr Zündel, Mr Christophersen, Mr Althans,and many other and many other politically interesled and active people. For me is not important if someone is considered a 'pariah',rather if he means it honestly.That is more important to me than the question than if one person or another has made mistakes or enjoys negative pubillicity.
|3 Mar 1990
|Diary: P describes NL meeting:'Rumours come that tonight there is to be much violence, etc., and Munier persuades me to cancel the Nationale Lisle meeting -since (a) the press has got wind of it, and (b) Michael Kühnen is to be present; and to attend only the Burschenschaft Germania meeting later in the evening. This evoked consternation, then comprehension, in Althans,....Zündel(!)(in Toronto!) is somehow eingeschaltet [brought in]. I drove to Hamburg.... Meanwhile Althans phoned from the NL venue, the Alte Mühle, insisting that I attend the NL function, major crowd there, 300, no trouble, no police, no problems. So I drove out there at speed, made a rousing speech, which was very well received, then zipped on to the Burschenschaft Germania.... There were surly faces against me at the NL meeting when I arrived. An attractive girl, 25 (who turned out to be Christian Worch's wife), snarled at me that I had 'disappointed' her by my earlier stance this day. But at the end of the meeting all were pleased. It was a good speech --knorke [super],I think my current biographical subject [Goebbels] would say.'
|4 Mar 1990
|Diary: p speaks at a meeting in Vlotho, the venue organised by Worch or Althans; P makes Worch or Althans; p makes' a good heated, demagogic speech, with every punch line brilliantly delivered and hugely applauded.,

|11 June 1990
|Letter Worch to p concerning P's refusal to appear at Wündsiedel (the 'J annual neo-Nazi Rudolf-Hess March) on the same platform as KUhnen.Worch informs P he can understand his stance, but forcefully reminds P that it had been 'Kühnen's people' who had got the illegal demonstration moving after 'Wahrheit macht Frei',and again makes his political affiliation to Kühnen clear.' As most of the active revisionists of today were still concearning themselves with their bourgeoise careers or at the most once a year attended the large rallies of the DVU or got together at the weekly back-room regulars. tables of the NPD, it was Michael Kühnen who. together with the sadly in the mean-time dead Erwin Schonborn, put his men in donkey masks in 1978 and armed them with placards which read 'I am an ass and still believe that.Jews were gassed in Auschwitz ' and demonstrated in the Hamburg city centre ...(where he like myself was promptly sentenced to a few months imprisonment.),
|3 Aug 1991

P speaks on the same platform as Thomas Dienel (NPD) and Worch (Videocassette 213, '...This Week.', labled 'ca. 04.94') P recorded in his diary 'I spoke first, a rabble rousing ten or fifteen minutes, with loud cheering, and alas some shouts of Sieg Hiel to which I admonished, 'Let's have no calls from the past; it's the [illegible word] that counts." The video record of the meeting shows Irving merely making a weak gesture of disapproval.

Friday January 25, 2013
Augusta, Ga--Just a couple of days remain before the 34th annual Augusta Futurity comes to a close. While you might not completely understand the cutting horse competition, you have to appreciate what these folks do and how good they actually are. For 20 plus years, maybe the best ever has been in Augusta.
Phil Rapp is his name and he calls Texas home. During his long storied career Rapp has won over $8 million in the business. He grew up on a horse and to be honest he never really had a certain time that he said he'd be a cutter for a living, it just happened that way.
"It's just a passion" said Phil Rapp. "We could win the lottery tomorrow and I'd still cut, maybe not as aggressively as we do now but this is what I do and this is kind of my therapy. If I need to get away or something like that, I'll saddle a horse up and ride in the back pasture but this is my passion, this is my love."
Rapp has riden in the various divisions and actually missed out on the Mercuria World Series Open championships last night. If you were a novice watching the cutting, you probably wouldn't see a big difference between the classes, but there is to the riders.
"Between the open and the non-pro its huge, it's huge" said Rapp "I would say it's the same jump from high school to college football and college football to the pros. I mean it's that big. Like people from the amateur, that would be high school going to college, and then college would be the non pros and so it's a huge jump."
The futurity winds up tomorrow with the four year old finals. Saturday is also the family fun fest outside the James Brown Arena from 10 til 1. Really a good time for the family an it's free!

Q:I purchased your Legends Geneva comforter a couple of months ago and find it to be the perfect weight (medium) for our climate. I noticed in the reviews for this comforter that most people are getting heavy or ultra weight. Is this comforter not as warm in the medium weight as the Geneva?
Also is the white a stark white or is it a softer white?Asked on 5/16/2016 by Weesie from Burlington, IA
1 answer
A:Hi Weesie - Good question the weight levels for all are comforters are the same so a medium weight for one comforter is the same weight for another style. The royal comforter has a jacquard windowpane pattern, but the white is stark white. Thank youAnswered on 5/17/2016 by Anonymous

7 Days to Healthier Skin
There aren't a lot of major life changes you can accomplish in a week, but transforming your skin can be one of them. Follow these steps for a better complexion (head to toe) by next weekend
So to help out the remaining 85 percent, we asked top derms what skin care changes they wish we'd all make. The catch: The new routine had to be easy enough to put into action in seven days.
�Few people have naturally perfect skin, but no matter what skin you were born with, it can be made to look better -- usually a whole lot better," says New York City dermatologist Debra Jaliman, MD. "What everybody should aim for is their own best skin, the kind that gets compliments and has a healthy glow." And Jaliman believes a few small changes can make a big difference.
In order to help you achieve your own "best skin," we've come up with this seven-day recovery plan. Incorporate these tips into your regimen, and by the end of the week you'll be on your way to a prettier complexion.

Exfoliating daily (as well as using a mask) may be too harsh for some skin types; I think two to three times a week is enough.

I love doing masks. They make my skin feel so soft. But I am going to stick to hot showers :)

all these things seem nice. maybe i should start doing masks, but i hear they are just useless

Wonderful advice. I do a lot of the stuff on here and my skin has imporoved drastically. Only thing to work on is of course my diet!

I doubt this would do very much for my very acne-prone, oily skin.

Good tips. My rosacea subsided greatly when I switched from washing with bar soap (even though it was Dove sensitive skin unscented) to Cetaphil lotion, and began using a moisturizer made for sensitive skin. I exfoliate daily with a wash cloth (which helps give me a healthy glow) but I'm afraid a brush would be too much for my sensitive skin.

Great tips.

Exfoliating the face so much (especially with brushes and every day). In winter skin is too sensitive and dry for that.

Cool tips, definitely going to start trying this!

Gender isn't just bent in the quirky and outrageous world of Taylor Mac. It's also as densely layered and folded as a piece of origami.
The queer performance artist turned playwright has toyed with notions of identity before, notably in "The Lily's Revenge," a five-hour romp that scored a hit at the Magic a few seasons ago. Now, he's back with a vengeance with "Hir," a brave deconstruction of a family drama that slides from bizarre farce to Greek tragedy with audacious velocity. Although the wildly ambitious play doesn't cut close enough to the bone to be truly explosive, it's so bracingly funny and smart that it's easy to overlook the flaws. Tautly directed by Niegel Smith, this world premiere runs through Feb. 23 at the Magic.
Mac is best known as a drag icon on the experimental theater scene, a darling of the avant-garde in New York. But here, he riffs on his childhood, growing up amid the dreary blandness of a tract home in suburban Stockton. This is home as a rubbish heap of Formica, fluorescent lights and desolation (the palpably dingy set is by Alexis Distler) that evokes the haunted landscape of Sam Shepard's "Buried Child" and the ritualized hell of Enda Walsh's "The Walworth Farce."
A family reunion is a nightmarish business for this lot. Isaac (Ben Euphrat) joined the military because his family had no money for college. When he returns to the old homestead, on the heels of a dishonorable discharge, he finds that his mother, Paige (a fierce Nancy Opel), has turned into a hoarder, sculpting towering heaps of trash all over the house; his sister, Maxine, has become Max (Jax Jackson); and his father, Arnold, (a deeply compelling turn by Mark Anderson Phillips), the once tyrannical king of the castle, has been reduced to a gibbering fool after a debilitating stroke.
At first, it's Max's journey of discovery that steals the family spotlight. He now boldly calls himself "hir," not him or her but something in between. A heady discourse on power, semantics and pronouns ensues. Opel has a field day unleashing a torrent of blistering critiques of traditional gender roles, railing against "troglodyte fascist hetero-normative" culture with great panache. Indeed, there are times when the narrative shortchanges depth for rhetoric, though it's hard to resist the playwright's ecstatic riffs on the liberating nature of paradigm shifts.
Certainly, Mac is quite insightful about how much of identity is pretense and pretend. From tales of transgender fish and anarchic queer communes to the therapeutic qualities of shadow puppetry, "Hir" dissects our voracious need for origin stories. All the members of this cursed family are so committed to their own personal mythologies, the reasons they are who they are, that they are lost to each other.
Although the plot often traffics in the absurd, the psychology of "Hir" is grounded in reality, particularly the gravitational pull of power and how one kind of despot can easily be replaced by another. The twisted relationship between Paige and Arnold is as terrifying as it is ridiculous. Phillips nails the whimper and cry of the helpless, while Opel radiates rage through chipper smiles.
Some of the themes need to be fleshed out more fully, such as the frailty of Isaac's postwar mental state, the roots of Paige's tensions with her son and the family's socio-economic status. The emotional connection between Paige and Max also needs more specificity.
All of that said, "Hir" is a devastatingly dark take on the primal need for a homecoming that's unsettling from start to finish.

California State University trustees next week will consider charging some students significantly higher fees for retaking classes, staying in school more years than expected or taking larger than normal class loads.
The fees are seen as a way to generate revenue and to ease classroom overcrowding by moving students more efficiently through the system.
The issue is on the agenda for the CSU trustees meeting Tuesday and Wednesday in Long Beach. Students at Cal State Hayward and San Jose held protests Thursday and more protests were planned at Southern California campuses next week.

How to Draw Spring Jackets
Draw a women's lightweight hiking jacket.
Draw a front female pose with one arm bent and on the waist. Follow the sides of the trapezoids that make up her torso for the sides of the jacket. Add an oval around the neck and another above the shoulder for the hood. Include the center front line for the zipper.
Add lines on both sides of the arms for sleeves. For a fun design shape, draw curved lines that start below the armholes and angle up to the neckline. Add dashed lines next to those seam lines for topstitching.
Finish the design with pockets at your model's waistline and a stripe down the side of each arm.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The two newest Warriors, Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks, both say they are just looking for an opportunity to succeed as they get set to make their Golden State debut on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Crawford will serve as the backup to point guard Stephen Curry and figures to be given a chance to make an immediate impact. Even after serving primarily as a starter for the Boston Celtics this season, Crawford said he's comfortable being a guy off the bench.
"I've been off the bench before," Crawford said. "I just want to come in and provide a spark."
This is the fourth time the 25-year-old Crawford has been traded, but he said this one didn't have the same feel.
"I got traded a couple times before, but this time was a little different," Crawford said. "They said Golden State, I actually thought about it, 'That's a nice fit.' Then I thought about it, 'Dang, I got traded.'"
Both players are happy to be joining a contender. For Brooks, he's looking forward to a clean slate and hopes to earn some playing time.
Brooks had a strong rookie season two years ago in New Jersey, averaging nearly 30 minutes and scoring 12.6 points per game. But when the Nets moved to Brooklyn and acquired Joe Johnson the next season, Brooks' role diminished and he never earned significant time this season after getting traded to the Celtics in the Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry deal.
He felt he had chances to work through his mistakes as a rookie but lost that opportunity over the past year and a half.
"A lot of my mistakes, instead of letting me play through it, I was sitting on the bench for games at a time," Brooks said. "It kind of messed with my confidence a little bit. Since then I feel I'm become a lot better player. I'm a lot more mature."
Warriors coach Mark Jackson has indicated Brooks is going to have to work to earn playing time with the Warriors. If that comes, Brooks is confident in what he can do.
"Once I get my opportunity, I won't disappoint," he said.

MOSCOW–The recently freed members of the feminist punk group Pussy Riot say they have no interest in promoting their own "brand," but one of them doesn't seem to mind promoting somebody else's.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has appeared as a model for a Russian website selling clothes and fashion accessories just a week after being released from a Russian prison along with a fellow bandmate, Maria Alyokhina, under a board amnesty proposed by President Vladimir Putin.
Ms. Tolokonnikova, the 24-year-old, sable-eyed, brunette member of the group, is featured in nine photos on the site of Trends for Friends Brands under the heading "Beautiful and Free." In the pictures she is wearing American Apparel blouses, Guess boots, Evil Twin jeans and trousers from Sister Jane, among others.
On Tuesday, Ms. Tolokonnikova posted a link to the spread on her Facebook page with the note: "My cool capitalist friends, Trend Brands, supplied me with clothes during the long days at penal colonies where the internal regulations allowed me to freely wear clothes brought by relatives."
In an interview with Russia's TV Rain shortly after their Dec. 23 release, Ms. Tolokonnikova and Ms. Alyokhina bristled at questions about the value of the Pussy Riot brand after becoming an international cause célèbre for their August 2012 hooliganism convictions for a controversial anti-Kremlin performance in Moscow's main cathedral. The two women and another member of the band, Yekaterina Samutsevich, were sentenced to two years in prison for the stunt, although Ms. Samutsevich was released on appeal a few months later.
"Talking about the brand isn't really interesting to me," Ms. Tolokonnikova said.
When the two women returned to Moscow they said they planned to focus on creating a human-rights organization and that they had outgrown Pussy Riot.
"We are not Pussy Riot now," Ms. Tolokonnikova said.
"We can promote our cause without playing any shows," Ms. Alyokhina said. "And we will never play any shows for money."
Shortly after Ms. Samutsevich was released in late 2012, she filed a lawsuit against a former lawyer for the band and his wife who were seeking to trademark the band's brand name and bright balaclava- and tube-dress-wearing image for commercial purposes. She argued that the band felt using the brand on t-shirts and coffee mugs went against their values.
Russia's patent office ultimately rejected the trademark filing.

- Era: War of 1812
- Number of Pages: 568
- Subject: Biography
- Date Available: March 2013
Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
The Captain from Connecticut is the definitive biography of the man who became a national hero as the commander of the USS Constitution in her dramatic victory over HMS Guerriere in the War of 1812. While Isaac Hull's outstanding seamanship was in evidence throughout his career, Maloney makes the case that it is ironic that he is remembered for his tactical prowess in this famous naval battle, because he was actually the most pacific of men.
~ Praise for The Captain From Connecticut ~
"Author Maloney has mined all possible sources. This carefully researched and well-written biography gets off to a slow start but picks up momentum as Hull's life unfolds. The Naval Institute has performed a good deed in reissuing this volume."
— The Journal of America's Military Past
"A well-written and scholarly account, this biography traces the life and naval career of War of 1812 hero Hull. Along with the naval action, the author pays attention to details of Hull's administrative and diplomatic skills exemplified by his role in connection with the Peruvian war of independence. The narrative also sheds some light on the attitude of naval officers of the time and the life of the common seamen."
— Library Journal
Linda M. Maloney has been an assistant professor of history at the University of South Carolina and Texas Christian University. She lives in Enosberg Falls, VT.

NEW YORK, NY -- Lincoln Memorial University head men's basketball coach Josh Schertz has been tabbed as one of the five finalists for the 2013 Red Auerbach College Coach of the Year Award, officials with the Jewish Coaches Association announced on Tuesday.
The Red Auerbach College Coach of the Year Award is presented annually to the nation's top Jewish college coach, which is voted on by the members of the Jewish Coaches Association (JCA). Coaches across every division of the NCAA as well as the NAIA and JUCO levels are eligible to receive this distinction. The winner will be presented with the award at the 2013 Final Four in Atlanta, Georgia.
Since his arrival at Lincoln Memorial prior to the 2008-09 season, Josh Schertz has ushered in one of the most prolific leaps to success in the nation throughout all levels of the NCAA. In his five seasons, Schertz has compiled 112 wins to only 38 losses. In the five years leading up to Schertz's hiring, the Railsplitters tallied only 39 wins to 99 losses.
In the Railsplitters' first season under the direction of coach Schertz, Lincoln Memorial improved from an 8-20 mark and a 1-13 record in league play during the '07-'08 campaign to an even 14-14 record in 2008-09, finishing fifth in the SAC at 8-8. Since that time, the Schertz-led Railsplitters have rolled off four-straight 20-win seasons, marked by a South Atlantic Conference record 27 wins in the 2010-11 season. The Railsplitters also set the SAC record that season with 16 league victories as well as the school record for best start to a season, as they rolled off 22-straight wins to begin that campaign.
This season, Schertz rallied Lincoln Memorial to an outright South Atlantic Conference regular-season title after compiling a 15-3 record in league play. This marked the second regular-season title for the Railsplitters since Schertz arrived in Harrogate and the third SAC Championship overall in his five seasons, as LMU won both the 2010-11 regular-season and tournament championship trophies.
On December 8th of the 2010-11 season, the Railsplitters appeared in the NABC/Division II Coaches Poll for the first time in school history, as they broke in at No. 24 after jumping out to a 7-0 start. Since that time, Lincoln Memorial has not been absent from the national poll, as they have compiled a South Atlantic Conference record streak of 42-consecutive weeks ranked. The culmination of that streak came on January 10, 2011, as the Railsplitters moved to No. 1 in the country for the first time in program history after running out 14-straight wins to open the season. By eliciting the top-ranking in the NABC poll, LMU became the first team in South Atlantic Conference history to be tabbed in the No. 1 spot.
The Railsplitters are also riding a streak of three-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Last season, the Railsplitters advanced in the Southeast Regional for the first time in school history with a 67-60 win over King College in the quarterfinal round. LMU made it to the round of 32 again this season after defeating UNC Pembroke, 82-80, in the first round of the Southeast Regional.
Josh Schertz will join Keith Dambrot (University of Akron), Ryan Marks (University of Texas-Pan American), Jeff Klein (Chaffey College) and Howard Fisher (College of the Canyons) on the ballot for the 2013 Red Auerbach College Coach of the Year Award.

Bone marrow transplantation involves the injection of healthy stem cells from a donor's bone marrow into your vein. The new stem cells travel through the bloodstream to your bone cavities. Stem cells are cells that can produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Bone marrow transplantation allows you to receive high doses of chemotherapy or radiation , because it replaces cells destroyed by the various treatments. Bone marrow transplantation may be done using bone marrow either from a donor or from you.
If the transplant is successful, the newly injected cells should be free of cancer and capable of producing healthy cells.
In order for bone marrow transplants to be successful, certain markers called human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types on the donor's and recipient's blood cells and bone marrow cells must match. As the recipient, you will be given medications to suppress your immune system and prevent your body from rejecting the donor bone marrow. In the weeks prior to the bone marrow transplant, you may have intense chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to rid your body of diseased cells and to clear the bone marrow cavities for the new bone marrow. This process is called conditioning.
Removal of bone marrow from the donor, called harvesting, takes place in an operating room. A hollow needle and syringe are used to remove bone marrow from the donor's hipbone. Several punctures are made in order to harvest an adequate amount of bone marrow for transplantation—one to two quarts. The puncture wounds are then covered with bandages.
The donated marrow is filtered and then administered through a small, flexible catheter into a large vein in your chest. You receive the bone marrow in an isolation room, where you will need to stay to avoid infection until the new marrow begins to produce infection-fighting cells. It may take about a month for the donor bone marrow to begin functioning fully.
Red blood cells, platelets, or other blood components may be transfused to increase the number of red blood cells and platelets in patients who are short of breath, fatigued, or in danger of serious bleeding. During a blood transfusion, blood and blood products are infused into a vein. Donated blood must be matched to your blood type. Prior to a transfusion, your blood will be drawn to check your blood type. You may receive blood that has been irradiated to prevent the risk of graft vs. host disease. You will be monitored for any signs of an adverse reaction.
Biological therapy involves using medications or substances made by the body to increase or restore your body's natural defenses against cancer. It is also called immunotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies, cancer vaccines, and interferon are examples of biological therapy used to treat some types of lymphoma .

Winter in Ashland can sometimes end up feeling like fall: Cold, rainy and not necessarily that snow-laden. On some days, it's easy to forget that we live in Oregon, which can be one of the snow-flakiest states.
But your snowless blues can be easily shaken away. All you need to do it pack up the family car with sleds and a thermos of hot chocolate, and head to a snow park.
Called Tube Parks, these groomed areas are sculpted to make the most of large, inflatable inner tubes. But first-class contrarians take sleds without metal runners to the slopes to catch huge air on man-made bumps.
Some of the best snow parks have a fire pit, a room with a wood stove and a bathroom. One is Table Mountain Snow Play Area, roughly 25 miles from Ashland, if you take Hwy. 66 east and turn left onto the Hyatt Lake Road to the Hyatt Lake Recreation area and then the Winter Play area.
Once you've had your fill of these two hills, you're fairly close to the Green Springs Inn, which is a great place to grab lunch.
The required Oregon Sno-Park permit ($7 daily; $10 for three days; $20 for an annual pass needed Nov. 1 through April 30) can be purchased at DMV offices. Call 541-618-2200 for more information.

About the Book
"Pelegrimas has done the impossible—come up with a fresh and exciting twist on vampire lore."
—Ed Gorman, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein: City of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Night<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Enter the world of the Skinners, a dark alternate Earth inhabited by vampires, werewolves, shape-shifting monsters…and the humans who hunt them. In Howling Legion—the phenomenal follow-up to the spellbinding series debut, Blood Blade—author Marcus Pelegrimas thrusts video-game designer and skinner-in-training Cole and his sexy, kick-ass partner Paige into a deadly war of beasts and bloodsuckers. Unrelentingly thrilling, Howling Legion is a perfect escape for Halo and True Blood aficionados, and for fans of Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan's vampire epidemic epic, The Strain.
No one said fighting monsters was going to be easy . . .
You can't see them, but they're here: hiding in the pools of shadow outside a Chicago burger joint . . . wreaking havoc in Kansas City . . . feeding in sleazy "blood brothels" that cater to humans who itch to get bitten.
Cole was designing video games when he learned the truth—that foul creatures of the night lust for our blood . . . and our world. Now he's a "Skinner," a member of an ancient secret society of warriors entrusted with keeping the terror at bay. Monsters once chained to the wilderness are suddenly free and descending, razor claws ripping, on the unsuspecting city. No one knows what's coming—but Cole and his seductive partner, Paige, will be the first to dive into the meat grinder.

Thai Peanut Slaw in Won Ton Cups
I'm speaking of the bottom of my muffin pan, of course. I've had it forever and the only reason you're seeing it now is because the little cups that this salad sets in are made by draping won ton wraps over the bottom of the muffin cups before they're baked.
See? Beautiful little shells to showcase this ridiculously easy and fantastic salad.
Thai Peanut Slaw In Won Ton Cups (makes 18 mini-salads)
18 won ton wraps
1 (12 oz) package of rainbow slaw (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and red cabbage)
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
2 TBSP sugar (I used Splenda)
1/3 cup water
1 TBSP reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 TBSP sesame oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 lime, juiced
3 green onions, green parts only, diced
1/3 cup peanuts, chopped
1 TBSP toasted sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Turn two (12 cup) muffin tins over and lightly spray cup bottoms with cooking spray. Spray one side of won ton with cooking spray and drape lightly (sprayed side down) over each muffin cup, molding it gently around the cup to shape it. Lightly spray the won ton cups again with cooking spray and place pan in oven. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove and cool on wire rack before removing cups from pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl combine the peanut butter, sugar, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir well until smooth. Add lime juice and stir again. Set aside to cool slightly.
Place slaw mix into a medium size mixing bowl. Combine slaw with dressing. You may or may not need all the slaw or all the dressing depending on how "dressed" you like your salads.
Fill won ton cups with salad mixture. Top with green onions, peanuts and sesame seeds.
These will stay crisp for several hours, but the won ton cups will start to lose their crispness after that.

Funny you say this! I posted some muffins recently in the pan and noticed it was looking a little sad.
These look delicious. Love thai flavors.

I have a tiny obsession with using wonton wrappers for all sorts of things, so these just look absolutely delicious to me. Yum.
And as for pans looking a little rough, that just tells me it's a really good pan. Cheap pans won't take the abuse so it's usually only solid pans that survive and have the scars to show it.

Geez - where the heck have I been hiding! Using the bottom to "drape" wontons over instead of putting them inside the cups is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thanks Mags - good lookin' salad too.

I have GOT to try this recipe! It sounds scrumptious! I'll have to downsize it for two, though. Hopefully I can bake extra cups and fill them for a second day because I know I'm going to want more!
I showed hubs my bottom the other day and he says to get a new one because it's time to let go. Sob.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The nation's largest teacher pension fund is taking the first step toward divesting from companies that manufacture guns and high-capacity ammunition magazines that are illegal in California.
The investment committee of the California State Teachers' Retirement System unanimously approved a motion by state Treasurer Bill Lockyer on Wednesday.
CalSTRS has investments in private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP, which owns the manufacturer of an assault weapon used in last month's Connecticut school massacre. The pension fund also owns shares of Sturm, Ruger & Co. and Smith & Wesson Holding Corp., two publicly traded gun manufacturers.
Those investments account for $11.7 million of the system's $155 billion portfolio.
Board member Harry Keiley says the fund has the power to change its investments. Staff will meet with the companies and return with recommendations.

As we look forward to the presidential race of 2016, there's a distinct possibility, if not a likelihood, that a curious pattern of academic pedigree will continue.
Imagine, for example, that the 2016 election pits Democrat Hillary Clinton against Republican Ted Cruz. If that's the case, and if the winner goes on to serve two terms, that would make it 36 straight years that we�ve had presidents who attended Yale or Harvard universities � or both.
You see, Hillary is a graduate of Yale University, while Cruz has a sheepskin from Harvard.
Barack Obama is a Harvard graduate, as is ...

INDIANAPOLIS -- If the Raiders looked as if they knew what was coming on a potentially game-changing sack by defensive end Jason Hunter late in the third quarter Sunday, it's because they did.
With the Indianapolis Colts on the Oakland 43-yard line faced with fourth-and-1, Andrew Luck rolled out to his right and ended up being sacked by Hunter for a 13-yard loss.
"Tough play. Good tackle by the defensive guy," Luck said. "They sort of sniffed the play out."
The play had the effect of a turnover, giving the Raiders the ball at the Indianapolis 44-yard line and setting up a 5-yard touchdown pass to Denarius Moore for a 17-14 lead. The defense failed to hold the lead when Luck ran 19 yards for a touchdown with 5:20 to play in a 21-17 win by the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
In the exhibition season, the Raiders defended bootleg plays poorly, with Seattle in particular finding receivers breaking free on rollout passes.
"We knew they were going to try the boot," cornerback Tracy Porter said. "Seattle gave us problems with the boot, and this is a copycat league."
Said Hunter: "My defensive coordinator (Jason Tarver) was yelling from the sideline, boot, boot, boot, so I mean, we pretty much knew it was coming. I saw my read, and as soon as I saw my quarterback stop and plant I got outside, got containment and I was able to sack him."
The Raiders had three other sacks of Luck, from Lamarr Houston, safety Tyvon Branch and Porter, and got Luck out of an early rhythm that found him completing his first eight passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns.
"We started to get a little pressure," free safety Charles Woodson said. "Pressure busts pipes. It doesn't matter how good you are in this league as a quarterback, if you can get pressure on a guy, then you have a chance."
"You have good coverage, then all of a sudden a guy gets out, running and scores a touchdown and it breaks your heart," Woodson said.
Luck got help from former Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, who walled off rookie cornerback D.J. Hayden and avoided being called for a holding penalty.
"It was sort of like a box-out technique in basketball," Luck said. "But it's legal, and it got us in the end zone."
"I thought it was a good start for us, and we're only going to get better from there," center Stefen Wisniewski said.
Wisniewski credited Pryor's presence with slowing the pass rush as well.
"Defensive ends that would normally just tee off and get to the quarterback, their coach tells them not to give up the pocket because Pryor is going to run," Wisniewski said. "It's a benefit to the line, for sure."

Those who knew Cherie Ann Irving say she's impossible to forget.
"Everybody knows her," said Krista Honeycutt, who went to high school with Irving. "And no one will ever forget her."
Honeycutt grew up with Irving, whose body was found floating in Sandstone Creek Wednesday. They say Irving, who dropped out of Grass Lake High School to pursue cosmetology, led a very social life.
"She's so fun and crazy," said Honeycutt. "Everybody loved hanging out with her."
But maybe she was too 'fun and crazy,' she says.
"She's always had a dangerous lifestyle," Honeycutt said. "She wanted an exciting lifestyle. That's why she had fun doing the things she did."
It was a lifestyle apparently involving drugs. Jackson County Sheriffs say all signs point to a drug overdose.
Officials believe the overdose happened at a home in the city of Jackson. But details about what kinds and how much drugs were involved hinge on the toxicology report.
"We're waiting on the toxicology to really confirm amounts and what drugs were injested or used," said Lt. Bradley Piros of the Jackson County Sheriffs' Department.
Irving wasn't the only one in her social circle using drugs. Honeycutt said many friends and acquaintances of hers use and are addicted to drugs.
"It really makes you think," she said.
Investigators have identified the persons who allegedly disposed of Irving's body in the creek. Officials say once the autopsy toxicology comes through and the investigation is complete, the case will be handed over to the jackson county prosecutor to determine if any charges will be filed.
Officials expect results from the toxicology in the next 10 to 14 days.

Home Opener Week
The Edmonton Oilers Home Opener celebrations, which began with an old fashioned shinny game in Hawrelak Park attended by more than 1,500 and three open practices that drew more than 10,000 fans collectively, now enter an exciting new phase. The Oilers thank their fans for displaying such passion and welcome them to what is going to be a thrilling season.
The festivities this week will focus on the future and one of the great, young teams in the game today, a club that symbolizes all that is Oil Country.
93 jerseys will be given away to fans this week as the Oilers battle on the ice during the first two home games of the 2012-13 season. Winning fans will be able to select the jersey of their favourite Oiler from any era and the player will autograph that sweater for the fan. If a fan selects a player off the current roster, that player will sign the jersey and present it to the fan.
Fans can also win one of 64 pictures with the players, one of 4 sets of gold season seats for this season, one of 83 pairs of tickets for individual games, one of 2 pairs of tickets on the team charter for a road game and one of 14 locker room tours to see where stars of the game today gear up for battle amidst reminders of past glory. In addition, fans will be able to enjoy 55% discounts on food and 40% discounts on merchandise.
Fans from all across Oil Country will be able to participate in one more cool promotion, which will be detailed tomorrow when a special delivery arrives on site at Rexall Place.
Community is a high priority for the Oilers and, thus, the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation is coming forward in on the act with a unique project to help change lives of those in need.

EVANS, Ga. -- As the weather gets cold here, it's getting even colder in Afghanistan where many of our military members are stationed. Most of them are staying in tents and sleeping bags with no heat through the winter months. One local group is trying to keep them warm through Operation Hand-Warmer.
It all started with an email asking for hand-warmers, but the group is now taking it above and beyond sending entire care packages. They fill boxes with all sorts of items and ship them over and say that's all it takes to make a soldier's day.
"I've been over there and they've actually almost cried opening these boxes up and knowing that people here in this country really care about them," said Burt Sappenfield, founder of Operation Hand-Warmer.
Hand-warmers, baby wipes, Jolly Ranchers and beef jerky are just a few of the items in the packages. They say the hand-warmers keep them warm, the baby wipes keep them clean and the jolly ranchers and beef jerky are the comfort foods that remind them of home.
"When a soldier tells you that he's pulling guard duty and it's minus 10 degrees in the Afghan mountain pass and he puts the hand-warmers in his boots, in his gloves, in his hat to keep his ears and head warm. That's why it's so important," Sappenfield said.
The first round started back in January. Organizers raised $27,000 in donations in just two months.
"We ended up with 11,600 hand-warmers in about three weeks," Sappenfield said.
Now, its round two. It runs from mid-October to Dec. 7. They've already shipped out 50 boxes and their goal is to ship out 200 to 300 before the holidays.
"When these guys get these packages I can promise you that they that small package will be the greatest gift they are gonna get this year for Christmas," said Jeff Hawn, U.S. Army veteran.
In each box there's also a handwritten card, another reminder to the soldiers that someone back home is thinking about them.
It's something Sappenfield has seen firsthand.
"He gets out, he's got arms the size of my legs, and I go up and give him a pack of Gatorade or a hand towel and he literally cries right there in the desert because he knows somebody cares. Then, you know it means a lot," he explained.
Sappenfield has received tons of emails asking for other thins. Each time they hear from a solider, they add the item to the list.
So far these are things they are looking for:
- Hand-warmers (Can be found in sports/camping section of Walmart, etc.)
- Trail mix
- Beef jerky
- Slim Jims
- Jolly Ranchers
- Baby wipes (small package)
- Foot powder
- Toothbrush/paste
- Chef Boyardee in small plastic containers
- Sun flower Seeds
- Snack bars (no chocolate)
- Travel size deodorant
- Tuna packets
You can buy any of these items and take them to Century 21 Larry Miller Realty. They say filling each box costs around $75, but if you just want to drop off a few items, they will fill the boxes themselves.

Stormy weather could do nothing to dampen the good mood of its creator, Dutchman Johan Huibers: in fact, the rain was appropriate. For those who don't know or remember the Biblical story, God ordered Noah to build a boat massive enough to save animals and humanity while God destroyed the rest of the earth in an enormous flood(AP Photo/Peter Dejong)
