Asian Chicken Broccoli Slaw
I seasoned and sauteed some boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe but you could use any type of chicken you like. In fact, if you still have some leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, this would be a great place to use it up.
The real star of this salad is the dressing. I caught hubby with his plate up to his mouth lapping up the last bit of sauce. Don't worry, we only eat like barbarians when there's no one else around to see us.
Asian Chicken Salad (serves 4)
for the dressing:
1/4 cup canola oil
1 TBSP smooth peanut butter
2 tsp Splenda (or sugar)
2 TBSP soy sauce (I used reduced sodium)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
juice of one lime
In a small bowl combine the oil and peanut butter. Microwave for a few seconds to soften peanut butter, then whisk until smooth. Add the Splenda, soy sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and lime juice. Whisk together and set aside.
for the salad:
12 oz of cooked chicken or turkey, sliced in thin strips
1 (12 oz) package of broccoli slaw
1/4 cup parsley, chopped (you can use cilantro if you're one of those crazy people who like it)
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup sunflower kernels
Combine broccoli slaw, parsley and green onions in a salad bowl. Pour dressing over all and toss to combine. Arrange salad on a plate and top with sliced chicken pieces. Garnish with sunflower kernels.

Heavy rains triggered mudslides and flooding in Rio de Janeiro, leaving hundreds of residents homeless and at least one dead.
Various rivers in Rio's northern districts overflowed, flooding the poorest areas of the city and forcing more than 200 people to abandon their homes in the northern district of Xerem.
One person who was sleeping in the Xerem town square died when floods inundated the area.
Houses crumbled under falling trees and cars were overturned by rushing water. Streets turned into rivers and sidewalks were littered with household goods.
"The house is gone, there's nothing left," said one Xerem resident, after watching her home be destroyed by the floods.
"The important thing is to save lives. Material things can be recovered," added another Xerem resident, who also lost his home.
In Angra dos Reis, a popular holiday destination among Rio's most affluent residents, 72 people were left homeless after their houses collapsed under adverse weather conditions.
After one of the hottest starts to a summer in recent memory, a cold front will pass through Brazil's southeast region in the next coming days.
Heavy tropical rains are a constant occurrence in Rio de Janeiro's summer months, with communities located in high risk areas suffering the brunt of the rainy weather's devastating impact.
On Thursday (January 03), as storm victims headed to a shelter in Rio's northern district of Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro State Governor Sergio Cabral issued an order for a special taskforce to be assembled to deal with the crisis.
In 2011, hundreds of people in Rio's mountainous region of Teresópolis died, many of them buried while sleeping, after a major landslide caused by days of heavy rains.

Topic: CC Won't Forget Our Children
We have the smarts to know that life is not fair
Battling Cholangiocarcinoma is certainly not a dare!
For us the future my be grim or somewhat bright
It's not only us, but for our children, don't throw in the towel, not this fight!
As time keeps spinning like a fishing lure
We must not give up the fight for a cure!
Being proactive and spreading the news
Will allow reasearchers, to write great reviews!
Lets send our letters to Oprah many not a few
Lets support Cholangiocarcinoma.Org and our children, I did won't you?
If we don't step up and make everyone aware
Our children and grandchildren can't ever beware!
Yes painful memories that will hurt us the most
But Oprah can make a difference, if only she was our Host!
I love my life and as I'm sure you do too
I love my children and grandchildren this is also true!
God Bless Our Children and you too!

The fire danger in Colorado Springs is extreme, but people are still throwing cigarettes out of their car windows. A cigarette ignited a fire near Woodmen Road and Powers Boulevard Tuesday, officials said.
Firefighters said people are being surprisingly careless.
"At the point of origin of the fire you could see the cigarette butts, and you could see exactly where that wind took it up the hill," said Colorado Springs Fire Department spokesperson Sunny Smaldino.
On the anniversary of the Waldo Canyon fire racing down a mountain side, and the Black Forest fire fresh in people's minds, CSFD wants people to get the message.
"It is extremely dangerous, and it can create damage that you don't even realize. If you are driving and throw a cigarette out, you could have started a fire, and you are 20 miles down the road before anyone can report that," said Smaldino.
The fire didn't burn down any buildings, but it could have easily been a disaster if the cigarette had been flicked on the other side of the road where there are homes.
"Thank goodness there weren't homes in the way because the way the wind was moving, and how fast that fire was moving through the grass, it certainly would have been damaging," said Smaldino.

No Bird Sing are great group of guys and I'm glad they're on SFR! Great pairing. Being a drummer first and a "wanna be" producer second, I've been following what Graham O'Brian's been up to for while. I love his darker production and style like on Pray for Paralysis, not to mention Joe's involvement with Mixed Blood Majority. No Bird Sing is a solid group. I can't wait for this release.
Speaking of great, just like Adambomb said, Sage you killed it on your verse. Well done all around!

I'm really happy to see all the positive comments about this signing and the song. However, part of the reason I haven't released my own album is because I keep doing features. haha. There have been quite a bit in the past few years and if I strung them all together it would make a pretty good album.
It's great having NBS on the squad. We started working with them over 6 months ago and kept it all hush hush until this announcement. Apparently the video they're working on for the next single is one some whole next shit. That next next. I'm getting anxious for it. The pool of talent in Minneapolis and their support base never ceases to amaze me.

with that said all your recent features are nice and refreshing, i enjoy when artists take time to do that because they can be totally free most of the time instead sticking to an "album" all-songs-have-to-go-together-type-deal
p.s. this is an excellent track all in all, looking forward to hearing the rest

I had put off checking this stuff out for some reason, and am now finding myself replaying "And War" and "Don't Think" pretty regularly.
Everything from the production to the video for "And War", the free download for "Don't Think" with a new Sage verse is like early SFR Xmas presents.

Once again one of our De Anza College students was the speaker at this years 2014 Rise and Shine Breakfast with Cheryl Hines. Congratulations and job well done April!
Jane's experience reading her own poetry and singing in front of large audiences through De Anza College's Music Performance Class made her the perfect choice to speak at Hope's, 2012 "Rise and Shine Breakfast" with Jane Pauley. Jane was also able to share a personal poem that she personally wrote for the De Anza, "Trouble Maker" poetry book with Jane and it was a hit!!

Jane Malkofsky won first place in the Division 12 Kiwanis California- Nevada- Hawaii District Aktion Club Speech Contest 2013. Congratulations Jane!!!!!
JANE MALKOFSKY - Hope Whittier Aktion Club President
Being in the Hope Whittier Aktion Club plus being our Aktion Club's President has taught me a lot about making a difference in the lives of people that we have met while being in this great club.
Two Aktion Club activities come to mind in which we made a difference in the lives of senior citizens at the Hope Whittier site. The members of our Aktion club baked some goodies for the senior citizens in the Senior Center at Hope Whittier. They were so surprised, so moved and so appreciative that we, the younger generation showed an interest in the people of the Senior Center. They all signed a card to express their gratitude. We were so happy to bake for them. It was a chance to do something special for the seniors..We also made Valentine's Cards for them as another way of showing them that we really care about them.
Sometimes when people become elderly they're forgotten about or neglected. So what we as the younger generation and the Hope Whittier Aktion Club members wanted to do was to show them that, "they have not been forgotten". We care about them the same way we care about each other. We respect them and enjoy their company. It made me happy to provide some cheer and enjoyment for our senior neighbors.
The last thing I would like to say is that our Hope Whittier Aktion Club loves to serve the community whether it is the elderly, children or people of our own age group. We love to make a difference in the lives that we touch. When we make a difference in the life of an individual or a group of people, it makes a huge difference not only to them but also to us, and that's why our Aktion Club exists, to touch people's lives in a positive way. We're thankful to be able to help or assist people in any way we can.
Thank you.
Client Advocacy Group
Student leaders work on problem solving techniques to address issues that come up in both the workshop and community employment. This group meets once a month and includes members from all HOPE programs and works with HOPE's clients' rights manager and a De Anza College faculty member. They also attend and participate in area and state conferences such as, " People First" and "Supported Life" conferences.
"Weed Warriors"
Student volunteers from the Hope Alfred St. site go out weekly to assist with weed abatement and other seasonal tasks at the Don Edward's Refuge in Alviso. Many of the students have volunteered more than 1000 hours! .
On-Campus Classes
Adapted Physical Education
To encourage fitness and health in support of work goals, students may also elect to participate in an Adapted Physical Education course after the regular HOPE site work day. This class takes place on the De Anza campus twice a week during the scheduled De Anza College quarters. HOPE-De Anza staff accompany students to the class.

It's a good thing I'm not a betting man.
If you had asked me in September to lay odds on the survival of broadcast television's new shows, I would have declared ABC's turbocharged submarine drama "Last Resort" to be the season's blockbuster hit. On the other hand, I'd have told you that NBC's lights-out saga, "Revolution," was destined for a Nielsen blackout.
Uh, never mind.
As it turns out, "Last Resort" has already been canceled (and, yes, I'm ticked off at ABC). Meanwhile, "Revolution" has become a valuable weapon for a surprisingly resurgent NBC, which may live to regret its decision to bench the show until late March.
But that's what kind of weird, unpredictable, largely lackluster season it has been. As TV rolls toward the midseason point, here are a few random observations about what we've witnessed so far:
So why did it beat the odds?
First, it has a simple, straightforward premise, especially compared to most of the dense "Lost" clones in recent years. It also features a good blend of older and younger characters, giving it a family-friendly quality.
Perhaps most significantly, "Revolution" maintains a potent blend of suspense, humor and swashbuckling action. In other words, it's just good, ol'-fashioned lightweight entertainment.
But now I demand a recount. The latter show, pegged to the awkward relationship between a free-spirited brother (Nat Faxon) and his uptight sister (Dakota Johnson), has really grown on me. The leads are charming, the quirky supporting cast appealing and the writing fresh and witty. Give this underappreciated sitcom a try.
I came to this series with a sour attitude, refusing to believe it could live up to the PBS series "Sherlock." And while I still prefer the latter, I've come to embrace "Elementary," thanks to the performance of Jonny Lee Miller.
He brings some fidgety, neurotic wrinkles to the iconic sleuth and invests Holmes with a touch of appealing vulnerability. It's just a pleasure to watch him work.
"Parenthood" also continues to deftly mix moments of humor in with the poignancy. Ray Romano, as a caustic photographer with a thing for Sarah (Lauren Graham), has made for a fun addition.
Unfortunately, NBC is giving us only a half season of this marvelous show. "Parenthood" will depart at the end of January to make way for the return of "Smash."
Perhaps "Five-0" producers have lapsed into a keeping-up-with-the-Joneses mode. The show, after all, airs on CBS, the home of visually explicit crime series like "CSI" and "Criminal Minds."
But they need to keep in mind that "Five-0" isn't that kind of show and shouldn't be. Viewers flock to it for the gorgeous scenery, the high-octane action, buddy humor and tropical escapism -- not blood and guts.
Even though I enjoyed "Revenge" as a sudsy guilty pleasure in its rookie season, I kept wondering how the series was going to sustain its momentum and intrigue in Season 2. The answer? It hasn't.
"Revenge" is the new "Prison Break" -- a show that has quickly devolved into a tangled, convoluted mess. And now it's in danger of slipping completely off my DVR.
My new favorite character among the guys is grumpy, high-strung Nick, wonderfully played by Jake Johnson. He brings just the right vibe to the romantic tension between Nick and Jess and really knows how to deliver a one-liner. He doesn't even have to talk to be funny. Just a simple facial expression or weird gesture from Nick is enough to get me howling.
As a bow-toting vigilante, Amell brings a brooding charisma, as well as some great abs, to the show. His presence has helped "Arrow" become The CW's biggest hit since "The Vampire Diaries."
Now the series needs to do a better job of developing its bland supporting characters.
As a judge, Spears has been zombielike so far, dispensing mostly bland, often pointless critiques. In fact, the feisty and outspoken Demi Lovato, who makes a lot less money, is much more fun to watch.
We'll give Spears her due, though. At least she's a better judge than Khloe Kardashian is a host.
On Showtime, "Homeland" is following up its big, Emmy-winning first season with another riveting saga, and "Dexter" has bounced back from a disappointing season. On FX, the motorcycle drama "Sons of Anarchy" is absolutely on fire, and on AMC, Season 3 of "The Walking Dead" ranks as the show's best yet.

PARKERSBURG - The second day of the 2013 Great American Home Show was busy as a crowd browsed various wares for home building and improvement as well as art and craft items.
Some people at the show said they noticed the show seemed to have more vendors and visitors than last year.
Bennie Graham, of Lubeck, said the show seemed to be bigger than last year's show.

"It seems like they have made some improvement in the number of exhibitors, more to see than last year," he said. "Everybody is pretty congenial about answering questions."
Graham said he came to the show to see what was available in security systems.
Williamstown resident Neil Uhl said the show seemed bigger than before.
"I've been here years ago and this seems to be much bigger," he said. "I was looking at roofing."
Uhl said he also took a look at stacking stones that may be helpful to shore up a retaining wall on his property.
Ed and Linda Brigner, of Walker, said they had just built a house and were at the show to look at a few items.
"We still have a few little odds and ends to finish," Ed Brigner said. "We are looking at whole house generator and finishing and all."
Linda Brigner said they got some ideas abut block and brick work at Saturday's show, as well as a John Deere mower for their property.
"Seems like there's a lot more here to look at," she said.
Wendy Crawford, owner of Sweet Dreams Chocolate in Ravenswood, said she had not been to any shows since she opened her shop.
"I talked to people from Jackson County who had been to the show and they all said it could help to bring in some business from the Parkersburg area," she said.
Crawford said she took the time to look around at the other exhibits.
Connie Wince, owner of Lamps and Light of Things in Harrisville, said she was at her first home show.
"It's been a great day," she said. "The participation level is very high. they tell me when the men come to shop the crafters fill in the time for the ladies."
Jen Collinsworth, a sales representative for Wayne Homes, said the company was at its second Great American Home Show. She said the company was displaying its 40 standard house plans that can built as presented or can be customized.
"We can work with people who bring in their own plans," she said. "We assist customers in finding property or have the property or have family land they are splitting up."
Collinsworth said the company will begin construction on four homes this spring.
Bobby Strong, residential sales representative with Mountaineer Mechanical and Trane Heating and Cooling, said the show was busy Friday and Saturday.
"We've talked to tons of people here," he said. "We're ready to talk with some homeowners and see what we can do for them in heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical and roofing. It's also nice to meet other business owners in the area."
Organized by the Home Builders Association of the Mid-Ohio Valley, the event will continue from noon-4 p.m. today, before wrapping up for another year. Admission is $3 for adults and $5 for couples.

Matriculation is a process which is designed to assiststudents in planning, selecting, and achieving educational goals. The process brings the college and a student into an agreement for the purpose of realizing the student's educational goal through the college's established programs,policies, and requirements. The agreement acknowledges responsibilities of both the college and the student to attain these objectives. The primary purpose of matriculation is enhancing student success.
Listed below are the basic components of the matriculation partnership shared between the college and the student.The college agrees to provide:
The student agrees to:
The college is committed to student success, and with this in mind provides the following matriculation services:
For new students, the first step is applying for admission to GCC. Students will be asked to provide the college with information about themselves so the staff can provide them with the types of services needed to help them achieve their goals and objectives. Some of this information is required by federal or state law, or college policies. Other information will assist the college in determining whether the student needs to be referred to orientation and assessment programs. It is important to submit copies of high school transcripts and transcripts of any previous college work at the time of admission.
Orientation workshops are offered throughout the year in academic counseling. The orientation workshop provides students with important information regarding the services programs, and courses available at the college. All new students are encouraged to participate in orientation. Students will learn how to use the college catalog; class schedule, and prepare a class list. For more information, contact academic counseling at 818/240-1000 extension 5918. Students can also complete an online orientation by visiting www.glendale.edu/orientation.
To help the students determine their skill levels in many academic areas including written English expression, reading, and mathematics, the college provides a comprehensive assessment program. Assessment scores assist the students and counselors to determine the appropriate courses for students to enroll in during the first semester. All new non-exempt students are required to be assessed in English or ESL and mathematics upon application to the college and before the student enrolls in their first semester. For more inforation regarding assessment procedures, contact the assessment center at extension 5868 or use the web site at www.glendale.edu.
Counseling and Educational Planning
One of the most important activities involved in the matriculation process is counseling and educational planning. Professional counselors are available to assist each new student in several areas:
The Student Educational Plan (S.E.P.)
It is important for all students to have a Student Educational Plan (S.E.P.). The S.E.P. serves as an outline of the preliminary educational program students will undertake. In addition, the S.E.P. identifi es the students' goals (i.e. transfer, A.A./A.S. degree, certifi cate, etc.) and refers them to support services, if needed. Competion of the S.E.P. is required during the student's first year at the college. Students should make an appointment with their counselor to begin this process as soon as possible. Any changes in a student's educational objective should be reviewed with a counselor in order to update the student's S.E.P. for accuracy.
Counseling and teaching faculty provide a number of follow-up services to matriculated students. These services are designed to provide information regarding the students' academic progress. Special services are provided to students on academic and/or progress probation, students in basic skills courses, and students who are undecided about their educational goal. Referrals are made to on- and off-campus services when appropriate.
Matriculation Appeals Procedure
A matriculating student has the right to challenge or appeal any step in the matriculation process. A petition for the waiver of a specific matriculation service or requirement may be filed for any of the following reasons:
Course Selection and Enrollment
At the time of registration students will be asked to select classes for enrollment. However, prior to enrollment, it will be necessary for them to see a counselor and complete a study list; a list of courses they are eligible to take which will lead toward the completion of their educational objective. It is to their advantage to see a counselor as soon as possible prior to the next semester, to work out their class schedule for the next semester. The process of enrolling in classes is explained in the orientation session. Students will also be provided with information from the Admissions Office regarding their date and time for registration, as well as the other requirements for completing this process.
Instruction and Progress Toward Goals
Students' active and diligent participation in their classes is the single-most important factor leading to their eventual academic success. Students are expected to attend all classes and to complete all course assignments in a timely fashion. To assist students in making progress toward their goal the college will provide them with a variety of support services, such as tutoring, other learning assistance activities, financial support (where applicable) and other forms of assistance to increase their educational development. Students are responsible for notifying the college of any specific needs they have, or of any change in their goal. Periodically students may be contacted by the college for information regarding their progress towards completing their stated goals. This contact may involve a meeting with a counselor, or other staff member of the college, or it may take the form of written communication to the students regarding their progress. In either case, it is up to students to follow up on this communication so that the college may better serve them.
Completion of Student Goals
The college's goal is to assist in achieving the objectives students have for themselves; however, the students must determine when this is accomplished. They are responsible for notifying the college of any change in their goals or status as it relates to the college. The college can provide students with assistance to make changes as easy as possible. Students should feel free to contact any staff member to assist them during a period of transition when they are leaving the college for some other activity or environment.

I love Seville! Its such a beautiful city and lots to see and do!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous people & place!ReplyDelete
Nice pictures! The processional is definitely associated with Lent, we saw a similar one in Madrid around this time of year.ReplyDelete
110% need to get myself to Seville to see these beautiful places for myself soon - divine!ReplyDelete
Wow, this post makes me miss Europe so much! When I was living there Spain was my favorite place to travel, hands down. Seems like you had an amazing time, too!ReplyDelete
Oh, and you and Nicole look like you could be sisters. But I'm sure you've heard that before :-)
Oh my gosh it looks like you had an amazing time! I'm jealous of all that sun!ReplyDelete
It's very common to see processions in Spain throughout Lent leading up to Semana Santa (Holy Week). Beautiful post! Makes me miss Spain. I'm glad you enjoyed.ReplyDelete
FABULOUS photos! those desserts look amazing!ReplyDelete
xxo, vanessa (the gal)
so beautiful! It makes me think of my weekend trip to Sevilla 5 years ago... I sat near the river near that same bridge! I remember buying roasted chestnuts and waiting in line to see the cathedral and the palace where Christopher Columbus's diary is! I'm glad you had a great trip!ReplyDelete
LOVE these photos. lets just have a bunch of photo shoots in Edinburgh. awesome.ReplyDelete
please god let the sun come out while you are here...

Hi Liz,ReplyDelete
this trip looks amazing and i'm actually wondering why i don't do those trips... seems like i need an american girl to remind me how beautiful europe is :D
end of may i am going to spent three days in amsterdam with my girlfriends and i wanted to ask you if you have any tips for that? i would love to see a blog post about your amsterdam favourites or maybe some tips to save money?
compliments for your blog, i love reading it!
gosh this is beautiful. you make me want to travel bad Liz! Thank goodness I can live vicariously through you :)ReplyDelete
This makes me want to jump on a plane and head straight back to Seville - I was only there for a day and that was clearly far too little time!ReplyDelete
Your photos are stunning!
Wow looks so beautiful! My boyfriend was there while studying abroad but I have never been, he doesn't describe it quite as beautifully as your photos do!ReplyDelete
My mouth is watering just looking at that sangria. Yummmmm. And you and Nicole look like such twinsies!ReplyDelete
I'm going to Europe summer of 2013, and I definitely will consider adding Seville to my list. Every photo is gorgeous! Love your blog.ReplyDelete
lovely photos! you are absolutely gorgeous :)ReplyDelete
that looks so amazing!ReplyDelete
You've made Seville sound like the greatest place on earth, Liz. Not only are your pictures gorgeous, but your description really makes it sound like such a laid-back place. It sounds less tourist-y than say, Madrid. Originally, the boyfriend and I were planning to make Madrid one of the cities we visit when we go in May, but honestly, Seville just looks more like the type of city I want to visit. I can't wait to see more from your weekend there!ReplyDelete
I've been reading your blog for a while,and have never commented. I studied in Sevilla last spring for a semester and fell in LOVE with the city, the procession is a "practice" for Semana Santa [holy week processions] most likely. These "pasos" go out throughout the city all hours of the day and night during that whole week. In weeks leading up to it you'll see them occasionally through out the city! Love your pictures!ReplyDelete
I just love all your pictures! What a fun trip!ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos! It looks like you had a lovely time. I love the orange scarf you're wearing! Where did you get it?ReplyDelete
Great pictures - loving the atmosphere down by the river!ReplyDelete
Oh my your photos make me want to jump on the next flight out to Seville! How gorgeous!ReplyDelete
looks like so much fun! gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous photos!ReplyDelete
LOL at the hotel noise! When I went to Madrid, we could hear EVERYTHING in the room next door EVERY NIGHT! Umm.. awkward! haha x
Gaaah LOVE spain! You are making me want to go back so badly.ReplyDelete
Your photos are so beautiful!
We had an amazing time on the Rappelling and Zip lining tour. Ender was a great guide; he didn't go too fast and he made sure that we all were doing good and were comfortable. Afterwards, we had a delicious home cooked meal. It was the best meal we had on our entire trip! We would definitely recommend this trip for anyone visiting Spain in the future by www.privatetoursinistanbul.comReplyDelete

1 < Day 23 Monday, 21st February 2000.
2 (10.30 a.m.)
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Irving, I just want to say something to
4Mr Rampton, if I may, first off. Do you think it would be
5possible, Mr Rampton, to get an index prepared for these
6files that have come into existence during the course of
7the trial? I mean J.
8 MR RAMPTON: In hand ----
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good.
10 MR RAMPTON: --- already.
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Because I am finding with the transcript so
12often you cannot actually discover where it is from the
13transcript and then you have to wade through.
14 MR RAMPTON: Yes, I quite agree, but that is in hand. Slowly a
15process is happening whereby each topic will have a
16separate distilled file.
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am glad it is in hand. Thank you very
19 MR RAMPTON: I have nearly finished the one on history and then
20there will be others.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, Mr Irving.
22 MR IRVING: May it please the court. My Lord, three minor
23points to deal with before I resume the cross-examination
24of Professor Evans. First of all, the Defendants provided
25to me, or served on me at about 6.30, in other words after
26close of business on Friday, a 24-page glossary of
1meanings of German words prepared by a Dr Longerich, who
2is going to be the next expert witness. I am not very
3happy about this way of doing things. They have been
4working on this case now for 18 months or more, and to
5have quite an important document like that provided to me
6at literally the last moment is awkward.
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I sympathise with that because you have quite
8a lot on your plate already but, having said that, I think
9I would probably be able to guess at the contents of a
10good deal of it because we have been through a lot in the
11evidence, have we not, like Ausrotten and so on.
12 MR IRVING: It is perfectly proper that they should served such
13a glossary as that because experts are allowed to give
14evidence on the meaning of foreign words, as I understand
15it, and that is what this largely is. It is looking at
16various words in various documents partly pre-empting what
17I was about to say anyway. I am unhappy about the
18document being put to your Lordship in that form without
19your Lordship realising that it has only just been put to
20me. It is rather like the catalogue of extracts, a very
21handy reference form for your Lordship, rather like a
22printed index. I am just unhappy that it has been done at
23this very late moment.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I will certainly bear that in mind.
25 MR RAMPTON: Your Lordship has not got one, so can I pass one
26up. It is really a most helpful document, I find. That
1is in English. The original was in German. It is
2relatively uncontroversial, I would have thought.
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It may be controversial, but nothing new?
4 MR RAMPTON: There is nothing new in it. It is a review of the
5usage of certain key words. That is all it is.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: As I understand it really, there is pretty
7much agreement that a lot of these words are either in
8themselves equivocal, they can mean something sinister or
9not, or in many cases the words are innocent, ostensibly
10innocent words are used to camouflage a sinister meaning.
11So in the end maybe not a great deal turns on it.
12 MR IRVING: It may be helpful in some respects, it may be
13contentious in others, my Lord. That is all I want to say
14before I actually start the cross-examination on that. It
15is neither fish nor fowl again. Like so much that has
16been done in this case, it is neither the expert report
17which should have been served last August, nor is it
18something being put to the witness in the witness box. It
19is kind of halfway in between.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Can I tell you, I will bear that in mind when
21we get to it. Mr Rampton, shall I put this into
23 MR RAMPTON: Yes, would your Lordship put it in the front of
24Longerich, I would recommend.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
26 MR IRVING: My Lord, the next point is of rather more
1substance. This concerns the matter of the expert reports
2which have been withdrawn. I am sorry, they have not been
3withdrawn, but on which no cross-examination will be
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
6 MR IRVING: Your Lordship and I have both raised our eyebrows
7over the possibility of putting in reports without the
8witnesses to back them up as far as expert reports are
9concerned. I am going to invite your Lordship to direct
10that the Defendants should produce a skeleton, in effect,
11setting out the authorities and statutes on which they
12rely, if they intend to put in the reports without the
13experts. I think that would be perfectly proper to enable
14me to argue the matter at a later date.
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. I think I said, when Mr Rampton
16indicated that that was what they were intending to do,
17that it was the first time I had come across this being
18done in relation to experts' reports. I think it is
19reasonable that, subject to what Mr Rampton may wish to
20say, you should have chapter and verse presented to you
21for an entitlement to take that course with an expert, but
22I will hear what Mr Rampton says obviously.
23 MR IRVING: Obviously, if I am not going to be required to
24present evidence or to impugn those experts reports,
25I should be told as early as possible because that will
26halt a major amount of the work that is still ahead of me.

Did anyone on this forum check this show out?
Here's a picture of it:
I stepped into something I did not expect at all. A place that holds maybe 150 people (and that's probably pushing it.) No stage. The mic was a very damaged Fisher Price type thing. I had to do my own sound (the dusty old mixer sat to my left.) People paid $20 to get in and there were NO openers. So...with people paying such a hefty price I felt obligated to put on a longer performance than usual. ha. All said and done, people seemed to be excited about it the show and how intimate it was. I don't think there will be a repeat peformance though. It was great as a one time thing and if you missed it...well...sorry. It was fun and tough as hell for me.

wow, i was there a couple months ago, and I can't believe you performed there. 150 people would have that place seriously swelled.
I cant view the picture (embed it please?), but were you performing inside that little pit thing in the middle? When i was there it was some crazy tripped out experimental-type two man band that were sitting on the ground while they played acoustic guitar, harmonica, and some hand drums or something. It was really shitty, and everybody was dead silent and watching, like i missed the part where they handed out the scooby snacks. I would have loved to see some ragin' sage in there bringin the house down - would have gladly paid 20 bucks.
That was a cool neighborhood - so much amazing live music around there up on Frenchman. Definitely goin back to NOLA at some point...

Dearest Sage,
Come to Toledo. Please. There are colleges and other whatnots up the whazoo. I know it isn't the coolest place but I love it and I know people here that love you. I'll settle for Detroit, or maybe even Columbus. I don't know how the details work or anything else for that matter. Thank you either way.
P.S. Talk to your friends Grand Buffet. They come to Frankie's often and it is great fun.

Largest New England Wind Project Approved by Maine Commission
January 7, 2008
The Maine Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC) has approved the largest wind project in New England. UPC Wind, a Newton, Massachusetts-based wind power company, announced January 3 it received approval on the 57-megawatt (MW) Stetson Wind Project.
UPC Wind says it will soon start construction on the facility, located on a ridge line about 90 miles northeast of Bangor, near the Canadian border. The project will consist of 38 GE 1.5-MW wind turbines, which will produce approximately 150 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually — enough to power about 27,500 homes per year. The company says the project will avoid 107,500 metric tons of pollutants that would be emitted into the air if the same amount of electricity were generated by oil- or gas-fired plants.
The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs during design, engineering, and construction, including those for building roads, foundations, and electrical lines.
In November 2007, the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development approved tax increment financing for the project, a first for a county in the state. Tax increment financing encourages local economic development activity. It permits a local government to obtain project financing by using new property taxes from a capital investment within a designated geographic district.
During the review process by LURC, UPC Wind noted a number of factors that bode well for Stetson Wind Project including: the ridge has an excellent wind resource; there is no residential property closer than 2,500 feet; environmental impacts will be reduced because existing logging roads can be utilized; and about one-third of the required transmission lines will be built in the same right-of-way as existing electric lines.
For more information, see the UPC Wind January 3 press release and the project description.
To read more about renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Maine, see:

- Brief project descriptions from the Maine Energy Office published in the EERE State Energy Program newsletter, Conservation Update.

Funeral plans are set for five young siblings and an adult who died when a sport utility vehicle driven by the children's father careened off a Mississippi road and into a creek.
All of the victims of Saturday's crash near Philadelphia were members of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
Tribe spokeswoman Misty Dreifuss said a funeral for the children, who ranged from 18 months to 9 years old, will be Wednesday at the Pearl River Facility Building in Choctaw. A wake is set for 2 p.m. Monday.
A funeral for 37-year-old Diane Chickaway, a friend of the children's family, will be Thursday at a church in Leake County.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Gainesville, FL -- Freshman righty Lauren Haeger (Peoria, Ariz.) tossed a two-hit shutout and classmate Sami Fagan (Dunnellon, Fla.) slapped a one-run bouncer through the middle for Florida's fifth-inning score as the Gator softball team defeated the No. 6 seed LSU, 1-0, to advance to the SEC Tournament semifinals in Tuscaloosa.
The seventh-ranked Gators will play the winner of Tennessee-Auburn, currently being played at Rhoads Stadium on the Alabama campus, as UF advances to the semifinal round for the first time since 2010. Florida last played in the tournament championship game in 2009, walking away with the SEC Tournament title after defeating Auburn, Tennessee, then Alabama.
First pitch for Florida's semifinal game will be 2 p.m. (CT) Friday, as the contest will air live on ESPNU, with the call by Beth Mowins, Jessica Mendoza, Michele Smith and Holly Rowe.
Haeger worked her 11th complete game of the year to improve to 14-4 on the season, fanning eight LSU batters, her most since nine against LSU in the nightcap of the double dip April 24, while walking five. In the opposing dugout, Brittany Mack earned the start for the Tigers, allowing UF's two hits and one run, while walking three and fanning four through five innings.
S. Fagan broke up Mack's no-hitter with her RBI single in the fifth for UF's first hit of the game, capitalizing on an opportunity after a freshman Bailey Castro (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) leadoff walk. Castro led off the inning with four straight balls to reach base, while pinch runner, freshman Briana Little (Middleburg, Fla.), took over on the base paths for Castro. A freshman Katie Medina (Downey, Calif.) sac bunt moved Little into scoring position at second before a fly out put two down for UF, but turned over the Gator lineup. Sami connected for her seventh game-winning RBI of the season to put Florida in the driver's seat the rest of the way.
Haeger then helped her cause with a leadoff base hit in the bottom of the sixth, spurring a pitching change for the Tigers from Mack to Rachele Fico. Fico was effective, with two strikeouts to retire UF after a sac bunt from junior Kelsey Horton (Valrico, Fla.).
Louisiana State connected for two hits, a Morgan Russell single to left in the second frame and a Cassie Trosclair infield hit off Haeger's glove in the fifth. Haeger left the bases loaded with a swinging K in the second to keep the momentum in UF's favor. Mack (14-11) shouldered the loss for the Tigers.
Thursday's victory marked UF's 18th all-time in SEC Tournament play and the Gators' second victory over LSU in three meetings this season. All three games were decided by one run, as UF won the first game of April 24th's doubleheader, 2-1, in eight innings, while LSU took game two, 1-0.
The win Thursday also brought Florida head coach Tim Walton within one win of career milestone win No. 500. Walton is now 499-154 (.764) through his nine-year head coaching career - seven of those at Florida.
For fans unable to tune in on television as the Gators continue play in the league tourney, Florida fans can tune in live locally on the radio or online to 105 The Game, WYGC 104.9-FM, with Adam Schick on the call or follow live stats through Gametracker, accessible on the GatorZone.com softball schedule page.

Head Coach Tim Walton
Opening Statement
"Great opening round, obviously, it was very similar in style to the games we played last time in Gainesville a couple of weeks ago - two good pitching staffs. I thought that both pitchers really did a good job. (Rachele) Fico came in for them at the end and did a good job. It was kind of what I expected; it was a low-scoring game, with good pitching and good defense. Whoever got the biggest, timeliest hit - obviously Sami Fagan was able to get that for us - that was key. I thought our approach was good. With the two different styles of pitchers, they did a good job."
On what he wanted to get across to his team the past few days after the Alabama series:
"I didn't think we played particularly well on Saturday, but I thought we played well on Sunday. I thought we played well on Friday. Facing a team like that, in an environment like that was good. I thought we responded really well. I think Lauren Haeger said it best yesterday when she said our team had some fight, and they showed fight. They showed some energy and some passion. With that, she got the start today."
On if he was worried about not scoring:
"I guess you could say yes. If you can get it to the spot where the first five hitters were in a scoring position, obviously you feel a little more confident based on their scoring averages and on-base percentages and chances. I just think sometimes it's wrong player/wrong time. We're trying to get some of those younger players used to it. Katie Medina scorched the ball. She hit the ball hard. It was nice to see her hit the ball hard even though it was a double play. It was still a good bases loaded at-bat for her. We're just trying to season these players into understanding the "lose and go home" mentality. It changes your swing a little bit."
#17, Lauren Haeger, Pitcher
On what was working for her today:
"I was excited to get the start. I hadn't had a start all weekend, and I felt good that Coach had confidence in me to have the ball the first round in the first game. I was hitting my spots really well and getting ahead, which is something that I've been working on for a while."
On when she found out she'd be starting:
"I found out when we were warming up. Coach (Jennifer) Rocha came up to me and told me I was starting. From then on, I just had to have my mind set and my mind right."
On what this does for her confidence:
"It always helps coming out with the win and pitching well. It always helps with confidence. I've just worked really hard this season, making adjustments so that I could help my team in the postseason after struggling at the beginning of the season."
#51, Sami Fagan, 3B
On what practice has been like the past few days:
"I think every practice we have the same mindset. We're just attacking every part of our game and getting ready for the team that we're going to play."
On what it felt like to break through and not have a long game:
"Before my at-bat, Coach (Tim Walton) and I talked and we made a game plan for that at-bat. I was just trying to execute it as well as possible. It felt really good not to have to go to extra innings."
On what the game plan was:
"He asked me if I was going to hit or slap. I said slap and he said that the shortstop was playing over, so I should try to slap it up the middle. That's what I did."

This year's summer movie season is a dream for comic book fans, with two superhero movies already debuting in theaters and two more yet to come.
Adaptations of Marvel Comics classics in "Thor" and "X-Men: First Class" have already made their mark, and a DC Comics hero will come to life this weekend with Ryan Reynolds starring as "Green Lantern."
And moviegoers can still look forward to the July 22 premiere of "Captain America: The First Avenger."
As all these movies will find out, comic book fans are a very discriminating lot when it comes to the adaptations of their favorite superhero tales for the big screen. Especially in the age of the Internet, the process of making a superhero movie is one heavily scrutinized from the minute a project is announced, and will oddly be forgiven IF it works.
If it earns the distinction of becoming a classic, its standards will become those upon which all other superhero films will be judged. Here are five of those films.

OAKLAND -- Pitcher Jon Lester and outfielder Jonny Gomes joined the A's on Friday, one day after the blockbuster trade that sent them to the A's and sent shockwaves across the league.
Lester and Gomes arrived around 3 p.m., exchanged greetings with their new teammates, changed into the A's uniform for the first time since being traded here by the Boston Red Sox and participated in pregame exercises.
Lester and Gomes are scheduled to speak with the media at a news conference at 4:30 PDT. Manager Bob Melvin chimed in with his feelings on the trade earlier this afternoon.
"Well, personally, I'm glad it happened on an off day because it took a lot to digest," Melvin said. "Not only for the players but certainly everybody involved. The magnitude of that type of trade gets your attention."
The A's acquired Lester and Gomes on Thursday in exchange for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.
Melvin acknowledged the difficulty in giving up the dynamic Cespedes.
"Everybody was close to Ces' here, and he had an unbelievable impact on what we've done here the last two-plus years," Melvin said. "We wish him the best and we thank him for everything.
"But to bring in the guys that we brought in, you have to trade something very significant. That's what it took. You're always looking to try to get your team incrementally better. We feel like we had to trade an impact guy like that to get incrementally better. Therefore, here we are."

Scripture: 2Corinthians 2:10 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake.
11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
Observation: Satan's scheme is to drive a wedge between us to separate us. The way to overcome his plan is to forgive. Forgiveness is not saying that nothing bad happened. Forgiveness is not saying I was not hurt. Forgiveness is not saying I am going to give you the opportunity to do the same thing again. Forgiveness is saying even though what happened was wrong and I was hurt, our relationship is more important than getting even. From Jesus example, the offender does not even need to apologize in order to be forgiven! Forgiving is outsmarting Satan!
Application: Forgiving is definitely a God-thing. I cannot do it on my own. I need God sharing my life to help me. Satan would like to keep me reliving the hurts, but when I forgive, the healing starts.
Prayer: Lord, I do not want Satan to outsmart me; with Your help I can forgive. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!
