HUNTSVILLE, AL -- The Huntsville Housing Authority approved the purchase of 50 apartments in southwest Huntsville four months before informing City Hall, the new neighbors or even the people living in those apartments.
The volunteer board that oversees the authority approved $2.9 million for Stone Manor Luxury Apartments at a meeting on Nov. 17, according to records obtained by The Times.
Accused of undue secrecy by startled homeowners all over south Huntsville, authority board members have said they could not make a public announcement, nor send out neighborhood notices, without undermining property negotiations.
The sale, finalized on Feb. 26, marked the authority's first creation of large-scale permanent public housing in south Huntsville. City Council members say they learned of the purchase after the fact in early March.
And Mayor Tommy Battle said the purchase didn't come up during at least two private meetings with authority officials after that November approval.
"They had indicated that they were going to buy something," Battle said last week. "I didn't know whether it was going to be in south Huntsville, north Huntsville, west Huntsville, east Huntsville."
The mayor appoints the five board members who run the authority, but they have no legal obligation to report to the city. Battle said the authority did inform him of the purchase of three small complexes on Mahogany Row in southeast Huntsville.
The authority's $148,000-a-year executive director, Michael Lundy, also recalled a discussion with Battle about flood plain issues at Mahogany Row, but was less certain whether he mentioned the authority's largest new development in more than 15 years.
"I'm confident we talked about other purchases that we were interested in," said Lundy. "Whether or not I said specifically to him we're purchasing Stone Manor, perhaps I didn't say Stone Manor."
No notice before buy
The southwest neighborhood was actually the fourth under consideration.
In June, the authority board approved a plan to purchase its first five apartment buildings in southeast Huntsville, including the first two small complexes on Mahogany Row.
But a four-plex on Sugar Mill Court near Mountain Gap Elementary School didn't pass inspection. And the authority couldn't reach a satisfactory price for two four-family buildings on Wynterhall Road near Challenger Elementary.
Then, at the end of July, Charles Todd died.
Todd had been the business partner of David Pinkston and James Vaughn. In 1985, the three men formed Southern States Leasing Co., which owned Stone Manor. Vaughn has told residents and The Times that the group wanted to keep the property, but was forced to sell when Todd died.
In November, the authority agreed to the final price of $2.65 million for the apartments and another $250,000 for 2.5 undeveloped acres adjoining the site. The authority has said it has no plans to build there.
By December, the authority had inspected Stone Manor, authorized an apprasial, asked the owners to make some repairs and applied for federal approval. Residents say they did not receive notices until after the sale. Battle said he was never told of the authority's actions.
Some of the tenants at Stone Manor, unaware they were soon to be forced out because they earn too much money to live in federally subsidized housing, signed new leases over the winter.
"What kind of notice was I given for someone to come take my home?" said Lynn Fratesi, a Stone Manor resident, when addressing the City Council earlier this month.
Council President Mark Russell said the authority needs to hold public meetings before making more purchases.
"I think that was one of the mistakes the housing authority made in not coming to the council and not putting it out in a public forum," Russell told The Times Friday. "I think they need to talk about which areas they are considering and why."
Weather the storm
Standing on stage at Chaffee Elementary School on April 6, a half-hour into a meeting overflowing with hundreds of agitated homeowners, Lundy said, "Until recently, when the media made this public, we had no complaints."
"Till now!" someone yelled from the audience.
"If we had known about it, maybe we could have complained," another man called out.
"We didn't need to consult anybody," said Lundy a moment later, greeted with a torrent of boos and angry cries about the lack of public notice and falling property values.
Councilwoman Sandra Moon has argued that the authority never should have surprised the residents, the homeowners or the council.
"You have a series of public meetings," Moon said Friday. "You know, weather the storm up front. And you certainly don't relocate 50 units and call it deconcentration."
Public relations
In spring last year, Lundy decided to hire outside public relations help.
The authority had made little secret of plans to tear down 196 apartments at Councill Courts and scatter residents across the city. But in a memo, which mentions a Times report on the authority's long-term plans to break up other developments, Lundy said he would hire a public relations firm.
On Aug. 1, Lundy signed a contract with Driscoll Rucker Group. Paige Rucker, president, now receives $45 an hour for networking, $65 an hour for strategizing and marketing, and $80 an hour for design and layout work.
But the public relations firm did not immediately lead to greater transparency. Lundy ignored The Times' repeated requests for a copy of the Driscoll Rucker contract last fall. He provided a copy last week.
In March, when asked by The Times about purchases in southeast Huntsville, Lundy agreed it was a matter of public record, but refused to disclose the location of the apartments on Mahogany Row.
Going forward
Huntsville can expect the authority to continue to buy scores of apartments around the city.
If the authority doesn't replace a unit it tears down, it can lose the federal subsidy for it. Councill Courts had 196 apartments. Plus, the authority tore down 22 units at Searcy Homes on Monroe Street downtown to widen a creek. That means the city can expect the authority to shop for about 218 units.
But that's approximate, Lundy said. "There is a possibility we could end up with more housing than we started off with," he said Thursday.
So far, the 62 apartments in south Huntsville replace some of the subsidized housing being razed. And a senior center planned along Huntsville Hospital could replace another 85.
But the authority owns about 1,700 permanent public housing apartments, mostly downtown.
With money from selling off valuable property, the authority may be able to buy even more than it tears down. Lundy said there is a need, as more than 400 people in Huntsville are on the waiting list for public housing.
What is too many?
"I think it's time for the housing board to look and re-evaluate," Battle said Thursday. "They're going to look at whether tearing down and going with more housing projects makes sense."
Battle said Stone Manor was too large for the goal of deconcentrating poverty. Instead, he expects the authority to focus on fixing up small buildings with four and six apartments apiece.
"The housing authority can come in and help turn around the neighborhood by fixing them up," said Battle.
Lundy said the public outcry has persuaded him that a 50-unit complex may be too large for a city this size. But he's not sure what the ideal size would be. He's also heard homeowner worries over the apartments on Mahogany Row in southeast Huntsville.
"If 12 units is too many," said Lundy, "then any amount may be perceived as being too many by some of the citizens here."

Holocaust Remembrance Scholarship – A Living Memorial
The Holocaust Remembrance Project is a national essay contest for high school students that is designed to encourage and promote the study of the Holocaust. Participation in this project encourages students to think responsibly, be aware of world conditions that undermine human dignity, and make decisions that promote the respect and value inherent in each human being.
First-place winning students, teachers, and Holocaust survivors participate in an all-expense paid trip to a leading Holocaust Museum. In previous years, the program held its scholars week in Washington, D.C., to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; last year, the scholar's week took place in South Florida, and this year, the top 10 scholars and chosen educators will travel to Boston.
Since the project's inception in 1995, the Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation has awarded more than $1,000,000 in scholarships and prizes. Tens of thousands of high school students have participated as researchers and writers. Scholarship Awards for First Place Finalists (10 each year) begin at $2,500. Each year, special scholarships are awarded by special friends of the Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation.

The numbers are out on how much damage was caused by the deep freeze Central California experienced last December.
It's estimated the cold wiped out a fourth of our state's $2 billion citrus industry.
Though the impacts were mainly to the Central Valley, the trickle-down effects are being felt on the coast.
A local farmer tells us he only lost 5 percent of his orange and lemon crops while his friends in the Central Valley lost as much as half.
With less oranges and lemons to go around, the farmer could be selling hisvcrops for more.
The total damages to Central Valley crops is $441 million.
We also could be seeing prices of oranges and lemons go up at the grocery store.

Fireworks-related injuries are frequently seen among patients admitted to the emergency department because fireworks are a popular means of expression during Independence Day and other celebrations in the United States. In 2006, a total of 11 deaths and approximately 9200 emergency department admissions resulted from fireworks-related injuries, with most affecting boys and 36% of injuries occurring in individuals younger than 15 years.1 An estimated 1400 cases annually involve injury to the eyes.2 A disproportionate number of cases of severe ocular morbidity and visual impairment are caused by bottle rockets.3,4
A bottle rocket is approximately half the size of a normal firework and consists of 3 main parts: the core ("engine"), which is a tube filled with black powder or a similar explosive; the nose cone, which guides the flight of the firework and may contain explosive components or other decorative items; and a guide stick, which stabilizes the rocket in flight. When ignited, the explosion propels the bottle rocket into the air, often setting off further colorful explosions, including star bursts, trails, or sparklers. Many manufacturers of bottle rockets also design them with whistles that shriek as the rockets climb into the air or explosives that make a concussive bang when they explode. The guide stick is typically stuck in the ground or braced in a bottle (hence the name) prior to launch. Injuries may result from direct high-velocity contact with the intact rocket, from parts of the rocket that may break off during flight, or from neighboring debris propelled by the force of the rocket's combustion.
Bottle rocket injuries, therefore, may bring significant costs to the individual, through loss of vision and decreased quality of life, and to society, through health care use and lost productivity. One step toward a rational discussion about the regulation of fireworks, particularly bottle rockets, is an analysis of the ocular complications that can result from their use. In addition, we hope that such studies will educate parents and children about the long-term repercussions of ocular injuries, guide pediatricians and ophthalmologists who care for and counsel these patients, and inform the public of the risks of bottle rockets. Several studies of ocular trauma have included bottle rocket injuries,4- 6 but none, to our knowledge, has detailed the extent and long-term outcomes of such injuries in children and adolescents. The objectives of this retrospective study were to describe the spectrum of ocular injuries and the long-term sequelae resulting from bottle rocket injuries in children and adolescents.
Approval from the institutional review board of Vanderbilt University Medical Center was obtained for this retrospective study. Consecutive medical records of all patients 18 years or younger seen in ophthalmic consultation through the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital emergency department between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2009, were reviewed. Patients with a history of fireworks injury were selected for further study. Data collected included patient demographics (age and sex), date of the accident, method of injury, level of patient's involvement (having launched the bottle rocket or having been a bystander), visual acuity (VA) at first visit, ophthalmic findings at first visit, initial and secondary therapeutic interventions, VA at most recent follow-up, and anatomic findings at most recent follow-up.
Of 2385 consultation medical records reviewed, 10 patients with a history of bottle rocket injury were identified (Table 1). Eight patients were boys and 2 were girls. The median age was 11 years (range, 5-17 years). Interestingly, 8 of the 10 patients identified were injured within a month of July 4. Eight patients were launching bottle rockets at the time of injury, whereas 2 were bystanders. Nine of 10 patients were injured in 1 eye and 1 patient in both eyes. Use of protective eyewear was not recorded in any of the patients.
On first visit, 7 of the 11 eyes had VA of 20/200 or worse (Table 2). Injuries to the eyelids, anterior segment, and adnexa included periocular burns (3 eyes), eyelid laceration (1 eye), corneal epithelial defect (7 eyes), hyphema (6 eyes), traumatic iritis (1 eye), iridodialysis (4 eyes), and cataract (4 eyes). Recorded injuries to the posterior segment included vitreous hemorrhage (2 eyes), intraretinal hemorrhage (2 eyes), commotio retinae (4 eyes), and retinal dialysis (1 eye). Eight of 11 eyes required primary intervention, which included lensectomy (4 eyes), corneal debridement (2 eyes), anterior vitrectomy (1 eye), globe exploration (1 eye), and retinal laser photocoagulation (1 eye).
Secondary interventions included pars plana vitrectomy (1 eye), muscle surgery for sensory strabismus (1 eye), corneal debridement (1 eye), and intraocular lens placement (1 eye). One patient was unavailable for follow-up. In 3 patients (patients 5, 8, and 9), no active or vision-threatening ocular abnormality was seen, and these patients were discharged to care in their local area. Of the remaining 6 patients (representing 6 eyes), follow-up was available for at least 3 months (range, 3-37 months). In all 6 eyes, VA was 20/200 or worse, with limited visual potential. Permanent VA loss was attributed to corneal scarring, traumatic maculopathy, or a traumatic macular hole.
This study demonstrates that bottle rockets can cause significant ocular injury in children and adolescents and, in turn, cause their parents and themselves to incur expenses through emergency department visits, surgical interventions, and days missed from school and work. It has been shown that half of all fireworks-related ocular injuries, particularly those leading to permanent blindness or enucleation, are caused by bottle rockets.1 We specifically looked at bottle rocket–related ocular injuries because of the severity of these injuries compared with other fireworks-related ocular injuries,4 their high incidence in children,5 and the paucity of detailed clinical data for this subset of patients.1
Our study confirmed that the preponderance of trauma patients are male, as shown by a previous epidemiologic study.4 The presence of adults was not uniformly documented in our records, but 1 study has shown that adult supervision was present in only 54% of pediatric fireworks-related injuries.2 Indeed, adult supervision during fireworks launching may seem advisable, but it is not sufficient to prevent fireworks-related injuries in children.
Whereas most patients were launching bottle rockets at the time of injury, 2 were bystanders. In 1 of these cases, VA was reduced to finger counting. Also of note, none of the patients in this series were reported to have been wearing protective eyewear at the time of injury. Therefore, if children, adolescents, and parents choose to launch bottle rockets, it is important for parents not only to supervise children and adolescents in the vicinity of bottle rockets but also to ensure that protective eyewear is being used.
Follow-up of at least 3 months was available for 6 of 11 eyes. In all 6 eyes, VA was 20/200 or worse. In the 4 eyes with significant visual loss, the residual anatomic defects still present at the most recent follow-up included traumatic maculopathy (3 eyes) and corneal scar with aphakia (1 eye).
The main limitations of this study include the retrospective retrieval of clinical information and the possibility of ascertainment bias. Because only the cases of patients who visited our emergency department were reviewed, it is possible that those reported here are more severe. Thus, one cannot draw any conclusions regarding the incidence of bottle rocket–related ocular injuries or the true spectrum of their severity.
In this series, 8 of the injuries occurred within 1 month of Fourth-of-July festivities. Therefore, during such times, parents, children, and adolescents need to be particularly aware of the potential danger of injuries from bottle rockets. Not surprisingly, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission prohibits the sale of certain dangerous types of fireworks, including large firecrackers that contain more than 50 mg of explosive powder and aerial fireworks that contain more than 130 mg of flash powder.7 Despite these federal regulations and state prohibitions, approximately one-third of fireworks-related deaths between 2000 and 2005 involved fireworks illegally sold to customers.8 Massachusetts, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island are the only 5 states that ban the sale of all consumer fireworks. Whereas the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued mandatory safety regulations for firework devices and enforces them under the Federal Hazardous Substance Act, these regulations are clearly not enough to prevent the devastating ocular injuries incurred each year as a result of fireworks, particularly bottle rockets. Therefore, studies such as ours are important for the education of parents, children, adolescents, physicians, and the public regarding the repercussions of fireworks-related ocular injuries to active participants and to bystanders. Finally, studies such as ours can assist in modifying legislation to ban sales of bottle rockets in an effort to eliminate unnecessary ocular trauma and visual loss.

New Collection Re-evaluates PresidentsRoundup: Talking About History
Even the most buoyant Reagan booster must have watched last week's revisionism in disbelief.
While conservatives have long listed President Reagan among the near great presidents, for restoring the country's faith itself while pushing Communism into the ash heap of history, suddenly former foes, like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, could be heard praising Reagan for his optimism and breaking the Soviet's stranglehold on Eastern Europe.
History will be the final judge, and, as it has for so many of out chief executives, you can expect more revisionism. Look no further than James Taranto and Leonard Leo's new book"Presidential Leadership" (Free Press/Wall Street Journal Books)
Released, coincidently, just days before Reagan's death, this collection of essays examines our chief executives through new, usual prisms.
Conservative Judge Robert Bork questions the economic effectiveness of liberal icon Franklin Roosevelt, while Teddy Roosevelt's audacity is celebrated by (who else?) brash U.S. Sen. John McCain.
Humorist Chris Buckley confirms the ineptitude of James Buchanan:"It's probably just as well that James Buchanan was our only bachelor president. There are no descendants bracing every morning on opening the papers to find another headline announcing 'Buchanan Once Again Rated Worst President in History.'"
New impressions
John F. Kennedy: Though JFK is rightfully praised as a Cold Warrior, notes speechwriter Peggy Noonan, she believes he was motivated by the fear that he and the nation would be perceived as weak.
"But what did he think of Communism?" she writers."What did he think of capitalism?" On these questions he lacked a bold vision. Kennedy, she argues, represented the hedonistic side the Greatest Generation. He used heavy drugs to cope with debilitating pain and illnesses, and was a sexual libertine, making him closer to the boomers than his contemporaries. In short, he was as much a Rat Packer as his cronies Frank Sinatra and Peter Lawford.
Warren Harding: Harding and Buchanan often spar for the title of Worst President. Harding is blamed for not predicting the coming depression and he's blasted for Interior Secretary Albert Fall illegally selling favors, a scandal that did not implicate Harding. Jeremy Rabkin, a professor of government at Cornell University, urges a more balanced view. Harding cut taxes and spending to below pre-war levels, and ignited an economic boom. And after assuming the presidency, he freed the socialists and labor leaders imprisoned under Woodrow Wilson during the 1919 Red Scare....

EdRover, the smartphone-based application that raises money for schools, has added more than 50 check-in locations throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.
Developed by local resident Tania Mulry in late 2010, the smartphone application allows shoppers to check into any sponsoring business and direct a donation to the school of their choice.
The edRover application is free for iPhones and Windows-based phones. The application allows parents and any school supporter to accrue funds for the school of their choice.
Participating businesses have an opportunity for brand marketing by alerting parents and shoppers that they are near the store, restaurant or local business. The business makes lump-sum donations to edRover, a nonprofit organization, which, in turn, distributes the donations to schools.
To date, edRover has secured national retailers as supporting businesses, including GameStop, JCPenney, PetSmart, Camping World, Office Depot, Westfield Valencia Town Center and Barnes & Noble.
It has also picked up 15 new area businesses including Classic Design Jewelry, Galpin Motors, Nissan of Valencia, The Chip, Persia Restaurant and more. Also coming on board to support local schools is the College of the Canyons Cougar Stadium and several realty offices.
EdRover also provides school supporters with opportunities to shop online at more than 130 top retailers to earn funds.
More information on supporting local schools, becoming a sponsoring business or to shop online can be found at: www.edRover.com.

Now I am really confused. Today I read a recipe on the MDA home page where it suggested to "trim excess fat" from a pork loin.
I thought fat was good?
Nick, no. Lol. Too funny.
All: Thanks for your support. It really means much having so much experience and wisdom here.
Ok, here is another. I am re reading the PB this week. I am doing this because I am curious to find where Mark speaks about eating so much fat. I know he says 50%, but if I crunched my calories eating what I eat now (mostly a P90X like diet) I get about 2400 calories a day. As I eat more like Primal, I have to eat way less to stay under my 2400 per the book. Eating pure butter to get more fat is weird to me. I am not against it at all. For the 'Korg' meal plan, I don't see it there, the omelette he suggests there is no mention of how it was cooked meaning those calories from using butter are not accounted for. Confused there, as pre PB I was cooking egg whites in PAM (I know bad idea) and now I am eating duck eggs in home rendered lard. My breakfasts went from 300 cals to 1100 with 2 duck eggs, 1 tbsp lard, 3 slices of uncured bacon, and home made yogurt with 1/2c blueberries. One more meal and I can't eat the rest of the day. Is this wrong?
Lastly, there was a link that was posted on Mark's FB page. It was a WebMD (CW site), about a link to Pancreatic Cancer and High Fat eating. Was that crap or is eating like this so new that we don't know what will happen to us? Kinda freaked me out. Back to salads with sardines and fruit. Still wont eat grain. Never.
Now I am really confused. Today I read a recipe on the MDA home page where it suggested to "trim excess fat" from a pork loin.
I thought fat was good?
I saw the pancreatic cancer link to high fat eating and it concerned me as well. Not sure what to make of it.
There is more than one reason to trim fat when preparing a dish. It depends on how you want the dish to turn out, not just whether you believe animal fat is good for you. Leave the extra fat on if you'd like. Our trained chef Worker Bee in this instance found that the excess fat didn't jive with how she wanted the final product to turn out so she trimmed it a bit. I see how this could send the wrong signals, but it really wasn't a decision made out of fear of fat, that's for sure.
Sweet. I kind of thought so. Being an enthusiast cook myself, I figured that the excess fat would just be excess. I assume that the meat itself would have sufficient fats to begin with.
The nice thing, if you opt to trim the fat for a dish, is that you can always use it later for other dishes that are naturally leaner and require you to add fat. (Or fry it up for a snack while you're waiting for dinner to cook.)
I read much that local organic red meats are great protein sources. Same goes for pork. Fat is good. So now I do not have to worry about buying only lean meats anymore because as long as its from my recent cowpool of a organic raised grass fed cow, all parts are edible.
So then why is this on the Vice page?
"4 - Steak and Bacon: oh boy, saturated fat. I dont recommend eating traditionally-raised and chemically-loaded red meat, but grass-fed, uncured cuts are loaded with valuable fat, pure protein, and vital nutrients. Just make smart choices when you go for the more decadent meats. (No factory farm hunks and sodium-laced strips.)"
So my question is, what are "smart choices" of meats when I read people frying apples in tallow?
Sorry to keep shaking the trees here.
Are you reading entire posts, or just looking to shake trees? That post is a little tongue in cheek, the paragraph before the one your quote reads:
"Many vices arent vices at all. Not only are many indulgences when moderate and planned good for you, theyre actually a sensible part of your personal health and prevention plan, as theyre more likely to give you a sense of value from your efforts. So stop flagellating the elliptical. Put away the carrots and raisins. Here are some very smart so-called vices:..."
It's on the "vice" page because CW would deem steak and bacon a vice, we, as PBers, do not. Other things mentioned on that page as a vice are also NOT vices when following the PB.
Any smart choice of meat is one that isn't factory farmed or laced with sodium and other crazy chemicals that you cannot pronounce.
Primal JAP: Thanks for pointing that out. Again, I am asking lots of questions since that what a "forum" is all about. Still trying to embrace the Grok.
DM - I didn't mean to come across harsh. I suppose it is because we spend our days either trying to explain the PB to people or avoiding the topic altogether. When I read to forum, it's kind of an escape to be with like minded people. It's hard to embrace this lifestyle, but when you do, it's like riding a bike or finally learning to drive stick. You wake up one day and think "how is this NOT common sense?"
Even my mother who is quazi-adopting this lifestlye (just to lose weight, I don't see it carrying over long term), offered me a salad at her house last weekend and then handed me sweet and sour dressing. "Mom, this has 14 grams of sugar per serving!", Her response "but it doesn't have any fat..."

UNIVERSITY PARK - Talor Battle went out of his way to praise the Penn State fans for the difference he thought they made in Wednesday night's game against Michigan State.
Even though the Nittany Lions lost, 78-73.
''The crowd was great,'' Battle, the Lions' outstanding sophomore point guard, said. ''I want to thank them.''
Penn State may not have gotten the memo on the rare 6:30 p.m. start and quickly fell down 8-0. But the Lions regrouped to take the lead in the first half before slipping back to a double-digit deficit until 5:15 remained.
That's when Battle and senior forward Jamelle Cornley, who combined for 46 of the Nits' points, fueled a late surge that drew the Lions within one twice in the last 1:30.
The Jordan Center was rocking - imagine what it could be if this program won consistently.
''We're disappointed we came up short, but that [late] run may not have been possible without them,'' Battle said of the season-high 10,270 on hand. ''Hopefully, they'll keep coming out.''
Cornley, to his credit, took no consolation in pushing the No. 7 Spartans.
''We have to win,'' he said. ''We have to take advantage of playing here.''
Especially against this kind of opponent.
Fresh from an encouraging 13-4 start - the best under Ed DeChellis, albeit against the usual PSU-ordered smorgasbord of New Hampshire, New Jersey Tech, Army and Hartford - this was a great chance to prove the Nits could be a legitimate NCAA Tournament threat.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo is already sold.
''This is a good Penn State team,'' he said. ''Other years they've played well and maybe not been as good. This year they're good, and they're going to win a lot of games.''
But the pendulum on home vs. road performances swings wide in college basketball, which is why Penn State felt it lost a solid opportunity.
In a year in which the Big Ten should get six and maybe even seven teams to the Big Dance - ''some people say eight or nine, and I believe that,'' Izzo said - the Lions could have used this game to jump off their resume.
''We had a ranked team on the ropes,'' Battle said. ''That will help us a lot.''
DeChellis, perhaps still smarting from a couple of key late calls that went the other way, wasn't buying into the big-game theory.
''We think we can every game at home,'' he said. ''But win and we have to play at Indiana Saturday. Lose and we have to play at Indiana Saturday.''
And you can be sure a struggling IU team has Penn State circled.
In the meantime, DeChellis must find a way to develop some other options beyond Battle and Cornley. Stanley Pringle was limited to 2-of-11 shooting as just four PSU players scored more than four points.
''Their guards [Battle and Pringle] are two of the best tandems in the league,'' Izzo said, ''and Cornley played within himself.''
But the Lions' lack of depth is clear, and even Izzo said, ''you worry about their legs,'' after watching Cornley and Battle played 40 minutes.
There's another way to look at it: Without an inside presence beyond Cornley, who will be done after this year (along with Pringle), the clock's ticking on the Nittany Lions.
And maybe their fans, a real sixth man Wednesday night, sense it.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Herby Great Service Great product! In store help. Easy to order. Fast shipping! January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Toxic83 A-mazing Sales guy in Plainfield, IN recommended these for my Hoyt. I shoot 64lbs and a Wasp Boss broadhead. I hit a doe second day of deer season at 30yds, it went clean thru her, breaking 2 ribs on entrance and exit, and still carried enough velocity to stick in a tree 10yds behind the doe and dug in about an inch and hung there. I love these arrows and will not shot any other style or brand! CX is the best!!! December 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by steve 150lb doe first time using the pile drivers had a doe at 15 yards hit her right in the chest and arrow broke did not pass thru ....was disappointed ...did get the deer but going back to eastern carbon raider platinum's October 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by buck boy piledriver are great These are tough. Pass through every time. You can hear a smack when it hits the deer January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by PaBowHunter Great arrow These arrows fly true weather it's field points or broad heads , I have shot deer from 20 to 44 yards in a Field and Stream 17 foot tree stand. Very few times the arrow did not pass thru , I have only been using these arrows for 3 seasons and I will never use any other . These are a must have for any bow hunter. November 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Pastor Will Awesome Arrow The Pile Driver is an excellent arrow. It is very durable and produces a lot of kinetic energy because the arrow is very heavy. I use these arrows for turkey hunting because they produce a lot of knock down power, especially when the bow I turkey hunt with (Mission "Craze") is set on a lower poundage (45-50lbs.). The reason for the low poundage is I don't want the arrow to pass through the turkey. So, a heavy arrow with a turkey broad head and a low poundage bow is, in my opinion, is a recipe for good turkey hunting. The reason for the 4 star review is the price is a little high at $59.99. It's not ridiculous, but a little steep. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by review arrows I already use these type arrows. Unfortunately, I sometimes break them when target shooting, so had to replace before hunting season. I used to get them from Gander Mountain in Denver, but Dicks near my home said they would order and then cut to length, so I bought them from Dicks. April 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hamilstone Very good arrow for beginner to expert. I just bought my first bow and the sales person recommended Carbon Express arrows for a true flight to help control my groupings. I'm very pleased with these arrows. At 10 yards I have 1-1/2? groupings. At 20 yards it?s a 2-1/2" grouping. 30 yards is 3' grouping and 40 yards is 4" groupings. And all on my first day. It?s been two weeks and each arrow has been shot over 100 times and they are a little beat up but I'm still getting close to if not the same groupings as mentioned above. February 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by John Boy Great Arrows Carbon Express Pile Driver arrows penetrate DEEP! They fly straight and fast. Originally bought them at BPS and they cut them to short, plus at Dicks they're less expensive. I had a robin hood a couple days after I bought them. The only problem is that I hit my fence and the nock broke off ( so much for the bulldog nock collars). Overall the arrows are great cant wait to use them hunting! January 12, 2013

If you don't want to use a phone, than you'll need to connect via

can connect in libraries, airports, and other WI-FI "hot spots" (free

If you want something less expensive, you can wander around the same
site. Several companies make 802.11 CF and SD cards that you can add
to models that don't have 802.11 built-in. A bit less tidy, but
perhaps less expensive.

TIP OF THE DAY: Make A Crumble Topping
The crumble topping—streusel—is a stroke of genius, says chef Johnny Gnall. A few basic ingredients, mashed together by hand and popped into the oven, results in a sweet, rich, crumbly voluptuousness that's wonderful with any number of sweets. It's a low fuss, crowd-pleasing dessert topping that can really dress things up.
Crumble topping, known in German as streusel (SHTROY-zul,) is a crumb topping of butter, flour and sugar; it can contain chopped nuts or rolled oats. The word derives from the German "streuen," meaning to sprinkle or scatter. Streusel is used as a topping for a variety of pies, fruit crisps, cakes and pastries, most notably coffee cakes. A pie with a streusel topping is sometimes referred to as a "crumble pie."
The best thing about a crumble topping is its versatility.
Apple crumble with ice cream. Get the recipe. Photo courtesy Betty Crocker.
In this recipe, made with whole wheat flour and golden brown sugar, oats add a pleasant heartiness—plus, they're a second whole grain. You can substitute white flour and hold the oats; but you'll get much more flavor as shown.
Crumble Ingredients
2. Once all of the dry mix is incorporated into the butter, spread out on a cookie sheet or baking tray topped with a piece of parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. For a crispier crumble you can bake longer, but you may prefer it on the softer side, especially with baked apples.
Crisp. A crisp is a deep-dish fruit dessert made with a crumb or streusel topping and baked. A betty is a crisp topped with buttered bread crumbs or bread pieces instead of streusel; "brown" (as in apple brown betty) refers to the brown sugar in the recipe.
Crumble. Crumble is the British term for a crisp.
Cobbler. A cobbler topping is different from a crisp or crumble, which has a crumb topping. Shortcake batter or biscuit dough is dropped onto the fruit before baking. The dish got its name because the lumps of cooked dough resembled cobblestones. Related desserts include a grunt, which is a spoon pie with biscuit dough on top of stewed fruit (fruit which is steamed, not baked); a pandowdy, a spoon pie with a rolled top crust that is broken up to allow the juices to come through; and a slump, a spoon pie topped with biscuit dough or pie crust, which can be baked or steamed, and can be made upside down.

Children's items on sale at Weeusables event
Gently used clothing, toys, books available
Hundreds of shoppers are grabbing bargains Thursday in East Lampeter Township, Lancaster County.
There are more than 70,000 items at the Weeusables consignment sale, which is being held at the Lancaster Host Resort Expo Center.
Shoppers can find gently used children's clothing, baby equipment, toys and books.
"I think the best part of doing this are the stories and the emails that I get after the sale from parents and grandparents … that say, 'Oh my gosh, thank you so much for doing this because we saved so much money on our kids clothes for the season,'" said Lori Hartmann, of Weeusables.
The Weeusables consignment sale runs through Saturday. Click here for more information.

Skylar Ebner glanced at one of the two red scoreboards which hang on the wall of the gym at Williamsport High School with a bit of frustration. He saw his four-point deficit to District 2 champion Conner Rosensweet and knew he had all but given those points to him.
Ebner was caught early trying to force his trademark headlock and the Western Wayne senior was able to build his lead. Ebner, a senior 195-pounder from Muncy, recognized his errors and knew how to make the adjustment.
His final four minutes on the mat Friday night at the Northeast Regional Class AA wrestling tournament were brilliant. He outscored Rosensweet by 11 over the final four minutes and was one of nine District 4 wrestlers to beat a District 2 champion.
Ebner's 13-9 win highlighted a night in which 24 local wrestlers won their quarterfinal bout and advanced to this morning's semifinals. Three other local wrestlers besides Ebner managed to upset a District 2 champion, including Lewisburg Brian Friery (106 pounds), Hughesville's Zach Fry (120) and North Penn's Nate Kriner (285).
On top of that, South Williamsport's Justin Knee upset District 4 champion Alex Lieberman at 170 pounds. Lieberman was the only District 4 champion to fall last night.
The start of the second period in that 195-pound quarterfinal allowed Ebner to reset. He understood he was the one making the mistakes leading to a lopsided score.
He refocused, no longer worrying about that left-handed headlock which seems to catch his opponents off-guard, and began wrestling the match at his pace and getting the shots he wanted.
"I knew to stay at my pace, wrestle how I should, and that's what I did," said Ebner, who has 107 career wins for the Indians. "I pretty much gave him the first six points. I started doing my moves that I know I can and I eventually got him."
Ebner knew he was in for a tough first match ever since forfeiting out of the third-place match at last weekend's District 4 tournament. He was in school last week for just one day as he battled the flu.
After beating Central Columbia's Matt Hackenberg in the consolation semifinals, Ebner didn't even stay around to receive his medal. He instead went home knowing he didn't have the energy to wrestle the third-place match against South Williamsport's Tyler Jenkins. So by taking fourth, he knew he would be paired against the District 2 champion.
The move wasn't so much calculated as it was a necessity. Ebner said last night he likely would have lost that third-place match anyway because he just couldn't go.
Friday night he looked like he had all the energy he needed with reserves in the tank in hitting a five-point move to go ahead of Rosensweet, and then a late takedown to the seal the win. Ebner's first appearance in the regional tournament was quite impressive.
"I had to come in this week and prove that I could hang with these guys and eventually beat them," Ebner said. "This is a good stepping stone for me. I just have to carry it on to (today) and keep it going."
Knee made it clear wrestling doesn't seem any easier after what he had to do last week just to get to the regional tournament. But he also made it clear he was a better wrestler for having to win three consecutive consolation matches just to make it to regionals.
So last night when he faced Lieberman in the quarterfinals, he wasn't the least bit intimidated. Instead he scored the first points with a second-period reversal and then scored a decisive takedown with less than a minute to go in the third period to upset the District 4, 170-pound champion, 4-3.
"I'm confident now, but not too confident," Knee said after the win. "Too much confidence isn't a good thing."
Knee worked his way back through a loaded 170-pound weight class last week after losing his first bout, 2-1, to Loyalsock's Aaron Hepburn. He then beat regional fourth-place finisher Erik Smeltz, 2-1, East Section runner-up Robert White, 6-3, and East Section champ Brandon Lontz, 3-1 in overtime to secure his bid to regionals before losing the third-place match.
The hard work put in just to finish fourth paid off last night when he wrestled a brilliant six minutes against Lieberman. He never left the Midd-West senior an opening to get a takedown and gave up just three escapes.
"I feel like I shouldn't have been the seventh seed," Knee said. "Some of those kids I'm definitely better than, so this is a big win for me."
He could feel Lieberman getting worn down by his physical style as they got to the third period. And tied at 2-2, he noticed an opening when Lieberman was taking his shots that allowed him to get the winning takedown.
"I knew his head was hanging a bit on his shots," Knee said. "So I pummeled the head and I could get into a front headlock. You just have to be patient because a lot of these kids wear out."
Before Fry stepped on the mat, he watched Central Columbia's Lewis Williams get upset with a fall on the same mat he wrestled on. The freshman said he never usually allows seeing an upset like that get to him, but he couldn't just ignore it.
Williams beat Fry in their last meeting by five points and was likely going to be Fry's opponent in the 120-pound semifinals today. But Williams was caught on his back near the end of the first period and pinned.
So when Fry easily dispatched of Wyoming Area senior Carm Mauriello with a 15-0 technical fall in just 3:34, Fry said he couldn't help but think how the bracket opened up for him.
"I just couldn't ignore that," Fry said. "I still have to go one match at a time, but it increases my chances, I think."
The chances Fry talks about are the ones of him reaching the finals and a spot in the state tournament next week. Fry faces Blue Ridge sophomore Dalton Hogle this morning in the semifinals. Hogle lost to Mauriello in last week's District 2 semifinals, 16-4.
Fry dominated Mauriello on top, earned three sets of back points in the first period and took a 10-0 lead into the second period.
"I wanted to dominate on top," Fry said. "I saw Lewis get pined and that really boosted my confidence and I knew I had to win. I was really fired up."

Feds: Dallas Constable Jaime Cortes did not violate Hatch Act
Dallas County Constable Jaime Cortes has been beaten up in official reports scrutinizing his operations. But he now has something to be happy about.
The feds have cleared him of an allegation that he violated federal law by forcing his employees to do campaign work. The feds didn't actually address the allegation. Turns out he was cleared on a technicality.
It's called the Hatch Act. It prohibits officials from state, county and city agencies that receive federal money from coercing contributions from subordinates in support of a political party or candidate.
But in a May 21 letter, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel informed Cortes that he's in the clear since the law doesn't apply to him because he's not in the executive branch of government.
"OSC has determined that, in Texas, Constables are considered part of the judicial branch of government for the purposes of the Hatch Act," the letter says. "Therefore, we have determined that you are not presently covered by the Hatch Act."
Constables do the work of the justice of the peace courts by serving court papers.
A special investigator for the county, former FBI Agent Danny Defenbaugh, had sent the complaint to the feds after Cortes' employees complained of being forced into selling raffle tickets for their boss' re-election campaigns.
Cortes said in a written statement that the letter from Washington is proof that the complaint was part of a "political smear campaign."
"It appears that County Judge Jim Foster, Commissioner Mayfield and Danny Defenbaugh have been and continue to engage in a smear campaign with no proof but only allegations from confidential informants or unnamed sources," Cortes said in his statement.

Cleared of murder, man starts fresh 24 years later
By Jennifer Peltz Associated Press | 4/24/2014, 1:55 p.m.
One legacy that haunts Fleming is regret over his 33-year-old son in prison, the one he left behind when he was arrested. The Disney World trip had been that son's ninth birthday present.
View galleryJonathan Fleming with his lawyer's son Max
While in a conversation with his lawyer Taylor Koss, left, Jonathan Fleming, center, observes his la …
"Sometimes I feel like I failed him because I really feel if I was out there, I don't think he'd be in prison now," says Fleming, who is planning a visit.
He's also been reconnecting with his other three sons, including one born while he was in prison and a 32-year-old son he didn't know he had until after he was behind bars. Fleming visited him and his family in Pennsylvania.
"They had a cookout," he says. "Made me really feel at home."
Fleming doesn't want to talk about his life before his arrest. He'd had other brushes with the law; prison system records show he had served about a year in an auto-theft case.
What he will say is: "I'm not going to pick up where I left off. It's a new day."
"A New Day" is his working title for a book he started writing in prison and hopes to publish someday. He also wants to go to college, maybe law school, to help other inmates challenge convictions and to advise young people about staying out of trouble.
"I'm excited to move forward," Fleming says. "Because I know God has a plan for me."

Arizona Trail Receives "National Scenic Trail" Designation From Feds
Congress and President Obama have given "National Scenic Trail" Designation to the 807-mile Arizona Trail, bestowing extra protection and attention on the 21-year-old route.

Statement by Governor Jan Brewer
Regarding the Arizona National Scenic Trail Designation
PHOENIX - "With President Obama's signature on Monday, March 30th, the nearly completed Arizona Trail received the first National Scenic Trail designation in the United States in 25 years. The 800 mile-long route, spanning from our southern border with Mexico to our northern border with Utah, was born from the vision of Flagstaff school teacher Dale Shewalter and navigates through the State's most beautiful and scenic backcountry, showcasing our diverse landscapes and wildlife. Through the efforts of several state and federal agencies, elected officials, volunteers and private corporations more than 95 percent of the Trail has already been completed. My dear friend, Congressman Bob Stump, helped secure the first seven mile segment of the Arizona Trail in 1988. This is a great day for all of the citizens of Arizona.
"The Arizona Trail is a testament to what can be accomplished through public-private partnerships. I would like to commend Mr. Shewalter for offering his vision and guidance throughout the years and to Dave Hicks and the Arizona Trail Association for their commitment to completing this project. The time and efforts of the countless volunteers involved are also to be commended. In addition, I wish to thank Arizona's congressional delegation, in particular Senator Kyl, Senator McCain and Congresswoman Giffords, for their efforts on behalf of this legislation."

CWN.org --As teaching pastor of Epiphany Fellowship Church in inner-city Philadelphia, William "Duce" Branch also is a Christian rap artist. The group he co-founded, The Cross Movement, has received two Grammy nominations.
Today's teaching pastor, however, was yesterday's street kid. Having spent most of his teen years away from God, Branch abandoned the evils of Hip-hop culture but not the call to evangelize it.
"Hip-hop was the primary social influencer of my generation," Branch told Baptist Press. "I wanted to have the faith of my father, but also the social connection of what was going on in that day."
Regarding his conversion to Christ as a child, Branch credits his father, a single parent, who was "discipled by white, evangelical, conservative Christians. That gave me a solid theological framework. But it didn't teach me how to intelligently wrestle through the issues of both faith and culture.
"You know, you're handed Christian culture, or subculture. And basically that's somebody else's version of it," Branch said. "You're not taught to reconcile faith and culture, normally."
The faith of his father did become more his own as Branch studied his way to a bachelor's degree at Lancaster Bible College and a master's degree at Dallas Theological Seminary. But some of his African American street roots never left, enabling Branch to successfully blend biblical lyrics with rap music, which appeals to those who've left the Hip-hop culture and those who remain in it.
"Some Christians don't feel it's a crime to be ignorant of Hip-hop, even though we're in a world where it's having major impact on the new generation. In some Christians' worlds, they're safe from Hip-hop. They don't have to consider it, know it or engage it. But outside of that small world -- it's a very small world -- the globe is talking about Hip-hop," said Branch, citing the genre's global following.
"Hip-hop has more theological implications than people realize, too," said Branch, whose master's thesis was titled "Theological Implications of Hip-hop Culture." Branch --who is known in the Christian rap world as "The Ambassador" -- used the content of his thesis as creative material for his latest CD, "The Thesis."
Branch also heads up Cross Movement Records, an entity dedicated to discovering Christian rappers and launching their careers.
But he is not without his detractors, one of whom has vilified Branch and other Christian rappers for retaining connections to the Hip-hop world. Branch responds in self-interrogatory style: "Would that be a great ministry tool if Jesus left me like I was, but changed my core, my framework, my worldview, my allegiances, but left my forms, my swagger? You know what I'm sayin'? Anything that's not like Him, get rid of it. So, the pride of Hip-hop can't co-exist. The self-focus can't, OK; the vulgarity can't, OK; the drugs can't, OK. Like, you start taking the sins of Hip-hop away -- is there anything left? Well, yeah. My hat maybe, the size of my T-shirts, maybe. Some of my mannerisms, my hand motions coming from the emcee.
"I want to hit the culture through two primary means," Branch said: "The church pulpit and then the mic as a pulpit." "I'm not reaching for the stars. I'm not aiming for fame," he added.
But in ministry, "I'm looking to go farther than I've gone before if possible." Branch said his sense of call "was simply in who I am. It feels native to me, like something I could do. And I'm learning how Jesus Christ comes in and takes over."
He has devoted himself to urban ministry for nearly 15 years, the last two as a pastor at Epiphany. Branch's vision for Epiphany Fellowship, where he is co-pastor with Eric Mase -- another Dallas Theological Seminary graduate who is pursuing a doctorate at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary -- began years ago when he came back to Christ.
"When I saw the Gospel reach a group and make that group feel like they could be accepted by God without changing their hat or changing their hair, I got excited about that mission." An advocate of the Apostle Paul's evangelistic tactic of becoming all things to all people, Branch said:
"God preserved me from scandal, poured richly into me and gave me a passion to teach. I know God also had called me to the pastorate. I'm a hinge. I have connections to both worlds. And I don't want them to stay apart."
The Hip-hop world of Philly and the Gospel don't remain separate. Starting with only nine people about two years ago, Epiphany now attracts nearly 300 every Sunday, half of whom came to Christ for the first time through the church's ministries.
Citing a series of events and contacts, Branch said the North American Mission Board sponsored Epiphany as part of its Strategic Focus Cities evangelism and church-planting initiative in major U.S. cities.
"Every Sunday, we have a huge influx of visitors, which indicates people like the Epiphany experience enough to tell people about it. It's steady. But this isn't about numbers, it's about momentum," Branch said.
"We have parents who come and scout us for their own kids, and then the parents start attending, too," Branch said, "and this in a day when people are attracted to more form than function, or cloak rather than core. "Some say, 'Oh, I know, you're getting them with a great show.' But we really don't have one," Branch added.
Both he and Mase say the church is not a Hip-hop church but ministers to those who live or lived in that culture. Branch has performed Christian rap as a ministry at Epiphany only twice.
"Hip-hop is eclipsed by our commitment to the things that unify Christians, and that's the way we like it, without betraying the fact that Hip-hop culture is one of our primary demographic targets," Branch said. "We know that Hip-hop won't be missed because many of us were redeemed out of that social context. A lot of that is still part of us and still shows up, but we subordinate it to winning some to Christ."

There was a time that Suns coach Jeff Hornacek thought he might have to tighten his rotation now that it is the crunch time of the playoff race.
His two rookie first-round draft picks have given him no reason to do so. Hornacek has continued to turn to Alex Len and Archie Goodwin for rotation time and a defensive spark as their youthful legs provide energy in the dog days of the season.
In Friday night's game against Detroit, Len was part of the mix in each half but Goodwin did not play after performing well in the previous two games.
Game story: Suns top Pistons
"I'm just trying to come in and make an impact, whether it's offensively or defensively," Goodwin said. "I'm just trying to make something happen in the short minutes I get because it's key for us to run some wins in a row to make this playoff push. A lot of guys have been playing a lot of minutes. Without playing as much, my legs are still fresh. I'm able to come in and play at a faster pace than a lot of guys who have been playing a lot this season. I still do rookie stuff but on the court I don't feel like one."
Len's confidence has grown as he learns on the fly once his ankles felt healthy for the second half of the season. He moves well for a 7-foot defender, especially on help blocks like the one he had Friday night on Detroit's Josh Smith.
Many were surprised when Len took an 18-foot jump shot in Wednesday's game but that is a shot he regularly takes in practices and is considered an upside of his future.
"I envision a few years down the road he's going to be able to shoot 3-pointers," Hornacek said. "He's got a good touch. He's going to get better and better and he'll continue to work on that stuff and that'll be a great weapon for us as he moves on."
Barbosa eyes playoff return
Guard Leandro Barbosa has personal wishes on top of his team hopes for the Suns to make the playoffs.
That is when he might be able to return. Barbosa's fractured left hand is in a new hard cast that likely will not come off until the end of the regular season.
"If he gets his strength back quickly and it doesn't bother him, maybe he can give us some time," Hornacek said.
Barbosa is not able to run but can shoot without jumping and do lower-body workouts with weights or a stationary bicycle.
"The swelling went down and the pain is a lot better than it was before," Barbosa said. "Now I'm free to do some exercises and I'm happy about that because it was boring not being able to do anything."
Feed the big man early
Hornacek's Suns teams from his playing days used to get their ball to their center, now-assistant coach Mark West, early in games to engage him and reward him for his bigger roles as a defender and rebounder.
Center Miles Plumlee often gets most of his offensive chances in the first few minutes of games too.
"Sometimes we do it just to get him going, get something inside early and see if he can get a shot on one of those guys," Hornacek said. "As the game goes on, we don't run a lot of other post-ups for him. A lot of teams do that but sometimes we feel like he's got a good matchup on a guy. Early in the season when we saw that and he was scoring, we'll go to him a few extra times. We've just got to not force anything. Our strength is the ball-handlers and coming off pick-and-rolls and guys who get their stuff off that. We've got to make sure we don't get away from that."
Free throws
The Suns sold out Friday night's game against Detroit. It was the second sellout of the season. The other was the Feb. 21 game against San Antonio.
• Suns power forward Markieff Morris was assessed a double technical foul for jawing with Pistons rookie Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. It was Morris' 12th technical foul of the season, ranking him behind only DeMarcus Cousins (15), Kevin Durant (13) and Blake Griffin (13). A player is suspended for one game after his 16th technical foul.
• Suns forward and former Texas Longhorns player P.J. Tucker delivered 25 breakfast sandwiches to Arizona State alumni who work for the Suns. He also handed out 25 "get well" cards to ASU alumni at the team's shootaround Friday, following Texas' buzzer-beating win against ASU.
• Hornacek on Gerald Green's adjustment to a bench role: "You can tell him a lot of stuff but still, in the guy's head, it's a little difficult sometimes. It can take a couple games to get used to but now I think he's back and he's going to be good at it."

text: Let's look at experts. Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was a mathematician and scientist. Newton has to be the greatest and most influential scientist who has ever lived. He laid the foundation for classical mechanics, and his genius transformed our understanding of science, particularly in the areas of physics, mathematics and astronomy. What's not widely known is that Newton spent most of his waking hours on alchemy; his experiments included trying to turn lead into gold. Though he wrote volumes on alchemy, after his death Britain's Royal Society deemed that they were "not fit to be printed."

Traveling off Maui this summer? Sam Choy will dish up taste of islands
July 20, 2012 - Carla Tracy
I just heard word that the "Godfather of Hawaiian Cuisine," Sam Choy, will begin to roam the streets of Los Angeles on his Pineapple Express rolling luau food truck.
Starting this Sunday, the truck will dish up Hawaiian wannabes with their first taste of Choy's celebrated Hawaiian heritage fare.
"Pineapple Express will make its first official appearance stationed outside of Santa Monica's SHOREbar on Sunday at 6 p.m., offering guests a chance to experience the Island-inspired menu with dishes including Poke Parfait, Sam's Original Kalua Pork Sandwich, "More Hula For Your Moolah" Wraps, and more," says publicist Joey Kotick.
"Following the first 'Rolling Luau' celebration in Santa Monica, Pineapple Express will hit the coast, stopping at various locations throughout Los Angeles before making a special appearance at the Toyota Museum in Torrance on Thursday, July 26.The truck will host a special poke-making demonstration at the Museum beginning at 6 p.m as part of the Pacific Talent Academy of the Arts' annual 'Meet & Greet Hawaii's Best' event."

Swagger on a hundred, thousand, dozen… Polaris Prize Pierogies too.
Sep 20th
Last year around this time, merely a few months into my fancy new life as somebody who doesn't have to photocopy textbooks from her university's library so that she can spend her OSAP on designer boots, I discovered the world of Gifting Lounges (swag suites, present lairs, Christmas-come-early — call it what you will)…
You can read the rest of that post here.
Big ups to EGPR's Essentials Lounge, rock-it promo's Tastemakers Lounge and the folks from RealTV Films for inviting me into your sweet suites. (HECK YEAH HOMONYMS!)
Moving onto things that AREN'T related to the TIFF (because I am simply sick to death of that film festival right now), The Polaris Prize was awarded last night to none other than Arcade Fire! Maybe you've heard of them?
I was psyched to hit last night's gala at The Masonic Temple. All of the sets performed by short list nominees were great (obvs – they were nominated for a reason) but a few, like Galaxie's and Timber Timbre's stood out to me.
Austra actually blew me away. The driving beat in this song played LIVE in a venue with acoustics like that had me right entranced, Hamm jammin' at the back of that auditorium like a bass-eating zombie.
It's important for my memory to note that they were serving Pierogies at the Polaris Prize
Pala Gala.
Coincidence that both Toronto's Polish AND Ukrainian festivals wrapped just one day earlier? Meeeeebe. Mebbe not. Either way, I'm smiling. Sweet boiled dumpling goodne s, three days in a row!
Life. She is good, my friends.
Thought of the day: Why is it considered cruel to laugh at the misfortunes of others? When I suffer from misfortunes (and this is often, I assure you) it makes me feel better to know that at least somebody is getting pleasure out of the situation. Lulz, you know?
That is all. Early morning ahead. Bon nuit!
Lashes, Tractors and Pink Pony Punch: Video Roundup
Sep 7th
See Lauren. See Lauren run.
See Lauren run around like a chicken with her head cut off hunting for a new condo while simultaneously trying to get everything lined up for TIFF (7 out of 12 outfits down and counting!) and work 60 million+ hours per week. Don't get it twisted though – she loves this shizz.
See Lauren aggregate all of her recent videos into one big blog post.
Aggregate Lauren, Aggregate. Blog Lauren, Blog:
1. The Eyelash Extensions LOLVlog: I recently had my lashes pimped by Laura from BeFabulous Spa Studio. Belle, non?
Not only is she crazy talented in the beauty department (rumor has it her Brazilian waxes are the best in Toronto), Laura is whip smart and nicer than apple pie. Wait, is apple pie nice? I don't even know… haven't spent too much time speaking to pies lately. I spoke to Laura the entire time my lashes were being applied, however, and she rules.
Note: Get Eyelash extensions. Well priced and, with regular maintenance, they last forever!
2. Pink Pony Punch with a side order of robots: Sometimes, I get to drink yummy things out of robot piggy banks on camera at work. And by "sometimes", I mean "one day last week". I like this video because it's short, sweet and has both ponies and robots in it!
3. The CosmoTV Blogger Girl's date with Evan Starkman: Full post available here.
4. Backstage with Stereos at the CNE: Interview + behind-the-scenes footage and uh… garbage tractor rides:
5. Thought Controlled Computing: vitaminwater visits Interaxon: Some technical issues here (audio problems, lens out of focus, my brain wouldn't work…) but I like the idea behind this story.
6. Steampunk Octopus at Burning Man: The fact that I had nothing to do with this does not negate the fact that it's amazing and deserves a place in this post.
C'est tout. Must sleep. Tomorrow, we ride… we ride to win.
HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL, by the way!
Get it? If not, keep hitting those books… and maybe a little bit of TVtropolis too.
Sister, Sisterrrr….
Jul 29th
How about that two way twister? Shakin' up our family tree with sibling syncronisity – Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh… (hoo hoo!)…
OHHHHoooowoahooowoahoooWOAH – Sister SISTAHHH! *sass*
It happened, guys! I finally found her – my long lost secret twin.
We were shopping at the mall one day with our mother and father respectively when all of the sudden, in a store that just so happens to resemble my bedroom…
I haven't met the Tia to my Tamera just yet, but there's always room for hope right?
… Right?
This week on my CosmoTV blog, I lament over my lack of female siblings. I was feeling lonely and whiney and sick when I wrote that, plus I just recently started playing with the Photobooth mirror feature and I got sucked in hard. Expect a Casie/Raymi mirror style video soon
I've been working like nyutz these past couple of days… shooting, hosting, writing, editing, coding, posting. I love it, but gahd dang does this shizz take a lot of time!
