Like most people, I try to keep my email inbox from being cluttered with old emails, with marginal success.
Right now there are 69 emails in my personal account's inbox, and at least half of them are daily missives from Food & Wine magazine with links to recipes that I think, "I gotta make this some time."
The earliest one is from last September - Mario Batali's Pesto Pasta - and, no, I still haven't gotten around to making it yet.

A rub with nine different spices gives Cajun Pecan Catfish its bold flavor.
But for this food page assignment, I decided I was going to try one of those recipes, even if it only turned out to be the side dish. And since it's the day before the Fourth of July, I wanted to use the grill.
For the main course, I turned to a cookbook that has made me feel more comfortable cooking with fire, the James Beard Award-winning "Mastering the Grill" by Andrew Schloss and David Joachim. I did Garlic Hazelnut Chicken Breasts with Mustard Glaze from this cookbook for a food page last summer, and I've made Molasses-Brined Pork Chops with Roasted Corn Salsa from the book twice already this summer for the family.
But I decided to move outside of my comfort zone on the grill and cook fish. Except for shrimp, my grilling background is more in burgers, chops and chicken. Fish is easy to overcook, and it's also delicate. Even if it's cooked right, getting it off the grill and creating a pretty plate can be a challenge, and I knew I had to take picture of whatever I cooked.
Fact Box
Cajun Pecan Catfish
4 catfish fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each, rinsed and patted dry
1/4 cup Cajun Blackening Rub (see recipe below)
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons (half stick) of unsalted butter
2/3 cup chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Put catfish in a large baking dish and cover both sides with the rub. Cover dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the grill with a 12-by-12-inch coal bed or preheat gas grill to 450 degrees for medium-high, direct heat. Preheat well-oiled fish basket or grate.
Put the olive oil in a shallow dish. Dip each fillet in the oil and let the excess drip back into the dish. Put the fillets on the hot grill basket/grate. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through and still moist in the center, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.
As the fish cooks, melt the butter in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet (either on the grill on a stove). Add pecans, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook until the nuts are toasted and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes, shaking occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and parsley.
Serve each fillet topped with some of the pecan mixture.
Cajun Blackening Rub
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt
Combine the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Makes about a 1/4 cup.
Grill-Roasted Bacon-and-Scallion Corn Muffins
5 slices of bacon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
4 large scallions, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Set up the grill for indirect grilling with all of the coals on one side. If there's a temperature gauge, it should be at 425 degrees.
Cook the bacon in a medium skillet on the grill or stove or in the microwave until crisp, drain on paper towels and crumble.
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, black pepper and cayenne. Stir in the corn, scallions and crumbled bacon.
In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs with the sour cream and melted butter. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just blended. Spoon the thick batter into the muffin cups.
Place the muffin tin on the grate opposite the coals, cover the grill and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached.
Cajun Pecan Catfish sounded enticing to me. Others needed convincing.
''Am I going to like this?,'' one of my daughters asked. Even my mom, who remembered catfish as the bone-laden ugly breed that neighbors would catch when she was a child, gave a cautious yes to the dinner invitation.
Instead of using a commercially prepared spice blend, "Mastering the Grill" provides a recipe for the rub, and it's worth the extra effort. I used all ground black pepper instead of half black pepper and half ground white pepper, and I had smoked sweet paprika, but the plain sweet paprika should be fine.
The rub adds an aggressive flavor without overpowering the taste buds with heat. Those with nut allergies easily could leave off the spoonful of pecans and not feel deprived, although the buttery nuts and the acidity from the lemon juice really elevate the dish.
With dipping the fish in olive oil and a well-oiled grate, there were no sticking issues, although the cooked fillets are fragile. A couple didn't make it to the plate quite as pretty as the one in the accompanying picture. But they all tasted wonderful. Everyone agreed the recipe is a keeper.
From the Food & Wine emails, I selected Bacon and Scallion Corn Muffins. What makes these unique is that you "bake" them on the grill, and the smoke from the coals infuses them with a flavor that one can't get indoors.
I confess I cheated. There wasn't going to be room on the Weber grill to do the catfish and the muffins at the same time (not to mention the grilled asparagus, which I tossed with some salt, pepper and olive oil, and cooked around the fish).
Instead, I let the muffins cook for the first 10 minutes on the grill (turning the pan after five minutes and cooking with indirect heat) and then I moved the muffins indoors to the oven to finish while I redistributed the coals and filled the grill with the fish and the asparagus.
There still was a hint of smoke in the final product, although these muffins would be good cooked start to finish indoors. The bacon and scallions add enough flavor that they don't need anything else, but a smear of butter is a welcome addition.

Hi all,
In our production Database,they are taking backup using veritas in the end of the day.The space occupied by the archive log in Disk is quite large.
If any media failure occured,archive log of the day is enough to restore the data or entire archive log backup files are needed?

He's a real caveman in there in terms of skill. He's had a great run as Euro and World Champ, but the only times he's stepped up to fighting world class guys he's come up short. Barely got by Afolabi, completely beaten by Lebedev.

His run isn't as good as Froch maybe because the depth at Cruiser isn't as good but Huck's run is bloody good.
Afolabi, Garay, Povetkin, Lebedev (he lost this fight though, make no mistake) and Godfrey are decent cruisers/Povetkin which Huck should've got the nod.

Haye is faster with both his hands and feet and was an excellent cruiserweight, Cunningham who's punching power was average put Huck away though Huck was exhausted. Haye is probably the biggest hitting Cruiserweight i've seen and carries damn good power in both hands at Heavyweight and he punches hard off the back foot.
Huck wouldn't last very long with Haye I don't think, not enough head movement and doesn't have the height and cautious approach that Wlad has. Huck would match up well with Adamek would be a great fight, and even Chisora I would pay money to see Huck and Dereck duke it out. He's gonna have to stick to the smaller Heavyweights though, a his chin is a bit like Adamek's solid but he can be badly hurt with a big heavyweight blow.

Huck is a very weird fighter
I think the sole reason he has had such success is because his
style of fighting is so unprofessional and brutish that his opponents just get baffled while in the ring with him and have a hard time knowing how to respond.
He has the entertainment value but he is very limited with regards to technical skills. He hit Povetkin on the back of the head at least 10 times during their fight.
He does have a granite chin, though.

BREAKING: Jimmy Graham Ruled a 'Tight End' in Franchise Tag Dispute
Update (12:27 p.m.) Multiple media outlets are now reporting that for franchise tag purposes, Jimmy Graham has been ruled a 'tight end.' He'll make $7.05 million in 2014, nearly $5 million less than he'd hoped.
New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham?will soon?learn the outcome of his?franchise-tag grievance, one that could impact the way players who are used in non-traditional ways by their teams are compensated.
A source told ESPN that on Thursday,?arbitrator Stephen Burbank will inform both Graham and the Saints of the ruling,?which would determine whether he's paid like a tight end or a wide receiver.
Graham received the franchise tag for the 2014 season, meaning he'll make $7.05 million.?According to the collective bargaining agreement, the?franchise tag?figure is calculated by taking the average salaries of the top five players at a respective position or 120 percent of the player's salary from the previous year, whichever is more.
The former Miami Hurricane?is contesting that because he lined up in the slot or out wide 67 percent of the time in 2013, that he deserves to be paid like a receiver, which would bump his salary up to $12.13 million for the season.
Graham does present a valid case, although the tight end position has always held various responsibilities. On some plays, tight ends serve as in-line blockers and in other instances, you'll see them utilized in the short-to-intermediate passing game.
According to CBA rules, a franchise tag designation is given "at which the Franchise player participated in the most plays during the prior League Year."
Burbank?met with the?NFL Management Council and the NFLPA in New Orleans last month to discuss the situation. Saints head coach Sean Payton was among those testifying at the hearing, saying that he believed Graham should be considered a tight end.
Former teammate Lance Moore and former coach Butch Davis both testified saying that they felt Graham should be?tagged as?a wide receiver.
Regardless of the outcome, a coach testifying that?a player deserves?$5 million less than what?he believes?he deserves...well, that doesn't exactly set the tone for a productive training camp.

The Baylor Bears should be considered as one of the best teams in the entire nation.
A 41-12 dismantling of the No. 10 Oklahoma Sooners was fascinating to watch. It was Baylor's defense that set the tone on the evening. Oklahoma's offense was rendered useless for the majority of the night.
At this point, it's not a stretch to say that Baylor is unequivocally the best team in the Big 12. It's also not out of the realm of possibilities to say that Oklahoma was a bit overrated.
Here's 10 things we learned from Baylor's big win over Oklahoma.

Student Council held an unofficial meeting in the Caswell immediately following Sit-down dinner in order to briefly discuss on-going projects; Jukebox in the Greer to be removed and replaced with a dock and iPod with a lock on it, last Gotcha email to be sent out, Meeting Minutes, increasing "feed" budgets on halls, and the 2012-2013 Student Council elections for rising Juniors and Seniors and Day Students.
There has been talk of moving the Jukebox out of the Greer since it is out of order and the school currently has a lease on it every month, which is essentially a waste of money considering it does not work. If we are able to remove this from the Greer, which we don't think will be a huge issue, we would ideally like to replace it with an iPod dock and a school issued iPod with a lock on it so only that iPod could be used with the dock, whose songs are updated and downloaded only by members of the council using a Deerfield Academy iTunes account. We have to ask Mr. Emerson if he would be able to help us fund this project, which is going to be one of the main problems. Will keep you all updated.
Tripp Kaelen is hard at work on the Gotcha game that began sometime in early winter. There are allegedly about 40 students remaining, and one final email will be sent out regarding the list of students left. Tripp mentioned maybe having a lightning round that lasts about a week with the winner being the student who can get the most opponents out in the game.
Next year, the Council would like to continue to go viral and put up Meeting Minutes and important announcements on the Student Council Website so that students can track our progress and keep updated on our endeavours. Meeting Minutes next year will include attendance for clarification when making decisions.
Student Council Elections for the 2012-2013 will be held in a few weeks. Rising Junior elections will be held on Tuesday May 22nd, 2012 during faculty break in the Large Auditorium. Rising Senior elections will be held on Thursday, May 17th at 11:00 during faculty break in the Large Auditorium (Maddie and Alex will be working the Junior elections while Teddy will be working the Senior elections). *Day Student Elections will be held on May 17th during faculty break in the Caswell Library.
*Talk of elections brought up the issue of the fact that underclassmen day students are not eligible to run for neither the regular underclassmen council elections nor the day student elections. Many different solutions were formed but the consensus achieved was that we should have one combined day student election date, having one underclassman day student representative and one upperclassman day student representative elected. This makes sense because the day student population makes up about 10 to 15 percent of the entire student body, so this representation should be about the same on the council. It doesn't make sense not to have an underclassman day student representative because if we don't, and that is the case at the moment, then we are leaving a percentage of the school without any representation on the council. Furthermore, when making decisions on the council that have to do with school issues and rules, shouldn't it make sense that these decisions not take effect on the underclassmen day students since they are not represented? Once we have a meeting with our newly elected President, a vote will be taken and, if passed, this will be put into order for the coming 2012 elections.
Emma, Maddie, and Devinne

I'd pick Warwick
Can I kn what reason make u pick Warwick?? Thank you
I know I sound stupid saying this, but you have to be happy about the scenery and where you are, you don't want to be in a ****hole for 3 years. I haven't been to warwick though so I'm not gonna say that it is. Have you been to all the places for a visit day?
I have been to Manchester and Edinburgh....I think the facilities in Manchester is gd and i like the place Edinburgh...Since I am from Hong Kong....i personally like Edinburgh the most out of these three because it has less chinese(i want to practise my english) and very good reputation over the world. However, i am thinking manchester or warwick maybe a better choice for this course....and the program in edinburgh is 4 years long....
And also....i kn Warwick is famous for the business course n the mathematics course...but not engineering....Edinburgh is ranked the highest in the subject ranking....however my teacher said warwick is a really gd uni with gd quality of all the courses and ppl say manchester has gd engineering courses....
one more thing....i am not sure whether i can reach the requirements...edinburgh is likely the one still want me if my grades are close.....
i am just so confused because the enviornment is not that important for me ,as an international student ,i just don't want to waste the money and choose the best uni that i can get into....
However I haven't been to the other Universities and know little about them.
There's not much difference in it arguably ... but if I had to choose a firm, it would actually be your insurance Nottingham - of your choices I'd say Manchester and Notts have the strongest civ eng departments, and Notts has better industrial links. All that stuff aside, obviously a big factor in your choice should be where you feel you'll be happiest.
I kn Nottingham has a strong civil department however the ranking in civil of manchester is quite low....i am surprised that edinburgh is the second highest out of those 5...but i do think the facilities in manchester are the best out of my choices
(Original post by crytung)

I wouldn't pay too much attention to league tables - they're dynamic and change every year based on arbitrary weightings. A slightly more useful way to gauge rep would be to email top companies in the sector you're interested in and asking them which unis they tend to target.

Early Treatment of Mental Disease
The board of control of the lunacy administration in its report points out that the event of the year was the passage of the mental treatment bill, which enables preventive treatment of incipient mental illness to be carried out by providing outpatient clinics for voluntary treatment, a great departure from the previous official practice, of certifying and confining in asylums persons who were sufficiently demented to be a nuisance or a danger. The treatment of mental illness is assimilated to that of other forms of illness by provisions under which certain cases may be temporarily placed under treatment in institutions without certification and by the opportunities afforded of associating the general hospitals in the treatment of mental illness. The board expresses the hope that local authorities will realize that, from the point of view of humanity and economy, treatment cannot begin too early, and will

Highway Dept. doesn't have to tell drivers about closures, before they do road workUPDATED 10:59 PM CDT Aug 04, 2014
40/29's Jonathan Rozelle shows us where crews closed down the lane, and didn't tell anyone beforehand.Video Transcript
IF YOU KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC JAM, YOU'D PROBABLY FIND ANOTHER WAY TO GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING, RIGHT? WE FOUND OUT THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT KNEW ABOUT WORK ON INTERSTATE 49 THAT CAUSED THIS BIG MESS OVER THE WEEKEND. BUT IT DECIDED NOT TO TELL YOU IN ADVANCE. 40/29'S JONATHAN ROZELLE FOUND OUT WHY. IT'S NEW AT TEN. I'M JUST OFF INTERSTATE 49, NEAR THE WAGON WHEEL EXIT. TAKE A LOOK BEHIND ME BECAUSE LAST NIGHT, CREWS USED THOSE ORANGE CONES ON THE INTERSTATE TO CLOSE ONE SOUTH AND NORTHBOUND LANE AS PEOPLE WENT UNDER THE BYPASS. AND I FOUND OUT THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO LET US KNOW BEFORE THEY DO ROAD WORK. (JESSICA SALLEE -- DRIVER) "it's kind of annoying because if they were in the same situation they'd want to know." THIS DRIVER SAYS INTERSTATE 49 IS THE BUSIEST ROAD IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, SO IT'S IMPORTANT THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT LETS YOU KNOW WHEN LANES ARE GOING TO BE CLOSED. "especially around like 5 and stuff, people are getting off work and they've got places to be and like their families to see and everything. So they don't want to be in traffic forever waiting."

Nick Collison for SI.com on being KD's teammate: "Just having him on the court makes us all better. Every defense changes dramatically when he's in there. He has the man guarding him, someone helping off some sort of screening action and three other guys basically staring at him, waiting to make a move. It gets all of us layups and open shots. It allows us to be good. Look at my career. I'm viewed as a guy who does the little things that help a team win. I have a niche, even a little bit of a cult following. But if I were on a losing team, no one would talk about that. And the reason for that is Kevin, and Russell Westbrook. Their success raises all of us."
Berry Tramel: "As is, it's the first time in NBA history – more than 56,000 games – that teammates have both crossed the threshold of 30 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. This isn't Batman and Robin. This is Batman and Batman. Westbrook is no Festus Haggan or Barney Fife. Westbrook is no deputy. He's Wyatt Earp himself, walking the streets of Dodge with Marshal Dillon. And the people who need to know – the Thunder brass, Durant, Westbrook himself – do know."
Sidebar off that: I've always been partial to my comparison that KD is Luke Skywalker, a flawless super Jedi with outrageous skill and talent, while Westbrook is Han Solo, a swashbuckling space pirate that isn't conventional, but very effective. Luke is the hero in the Star Wars saga, but Han is just as important, and quietly, probably a little cooler.
John Schuhmann of NBA.com on open looks for LA: "But there were also more open shots and the Clippers let OKC off the hook a little, not getting many more weak-side looks off the pick-and-roll. A lot of their 3-point attempts came off the dribble, off of post-ups, or on the strong side. Some came too early in the shot clock, before the Clips could really make the Thunder defense collapse. As with any defense, the more you make it work, the more likely you're going to get an open shot. Against the Thunder, those open shots are more likely to come on the perimeter. Paul isn't going to shoot 8-for-9 from 3-point range (like he did in Game 1) again. But the Clippers will continue to have opportunities to beat the Thunder's defense from the outside."
KD got a billboard in his hometown.
Matt Moore of CBSSports.com on Game 3: "The point guards are emerging as the bellwether for this series, as the team with the better point-guard performance has won each of game. How will Doc Rivers approach defending Russell Westbrook? Is it time to provide a longer defender on him, and if so, who? Meanwhile, the Thunder have resisted trapping Chris Paul at halfcourt, the most reliable defense for him historically. If Paul starts to get loose like he did in Game 1, will they start to use that strategy? How many defenders each team sends at the opposing point guard and how they react to it will determine much of the rest of this series."

'Ancestral Links' by John Garrity
Every now and then I go to a restaurant where the menu is preset (prix fixe to the French). I look at the day's list, evaluate what's for dinner and wonder how it will turn out. More often than not, it turns about better than expected. Indeed, I've visited many fine restaurants and consumed special dishes I might not have otherwise ordered.
The best news is when the menu looks terrific and, after eating the first course, I can hardly wait for the second dish. Well, this book is like that.
After I perused the first chapter, author John Garrity had me. I couldn't wait for the second chapter, yet still wanted to digest and enjoy the first.
Like a wonderful dining experience, what a pleasant book this is turning out to be. Yes, I'm only one-third of the way through it, yet I know the rest will be just as sumptuous. Though I'm far from being done, this book will suit my "palate" just like the times I've eaten at the French Laundry in California's Napa Valley.
Garrity takes readers along for a rewarding ride as he explores relationships with his father, brother, and above all, golf - a game we all love. He conveys his thoughts in a way I almost feel. I hope my own sons get the same sense of how much I love golf, what it stands for and its rich history.
Each chapter is a snippet of his life and experiences on a golf course in Ireland called Carne. You can really feel Garrity's love for this place, and how it relates to his love of family and his father. Once asked about his best-ever score, Garrity answered, "An 87 at Carne."
You must read this book to grasp how wonderful a statement that is. On one occasion at Carne, the wind was blowing 30 miles per hour, with gusts up to 50; a native told him that a storm was coming - as if 30 mph was the norm at Carne.
Much like a great dinner, I know I want to savor this book, take my time and not rush it. I know the dessert will come, and by then I will probably be satiated.
Get this book and read it slowly, enjoying the full flavors of Garrity's relationships with his family, past and present. Sip a glass of good red wine while you nibble on each chapter and finish it with fullness and delight.
What a great read.

Hatfield and the North: Hatfield and The North / The Rotters Club
Keyboardist Dave Stewart had already established a name for himself with Egg and Khan, though in the former the compositional duties were largely assumed by the vastly undervalued Mont Campbell, and the latter was more of a vehicle for guitarist Steve Hillage, who'd previously intersected with Stewart and Campbell in the more psychedelic, pre-Egg group Uriel (whose long out-of-print album, along with an archival disc of Egg oddities, was finally released on CD in 2007 through UK's Burning Shed). By the time Stewart was recruited for Hatfield and the North, replacing original keyboardist, Caravan's Dave Sinclair, he'd goneseemingly overnightfrom a talented, post-Keith Emerson keyboardist to one with a decidedly greater jazz bent, albeit one with a harmonic language strangely distanced from the American tradition.
Guitarist Phil Miller and drummer Pip Pyle went back to the mid-1960s and the group Delivery, though both made greater names for themselves in other places. Miller was the guitarist in ex-Soft Machine drummer/singer Robert Wyatt's Matching Mole (a clever pun on the French translation for Soft Machine, Machine Molle), which released two studio albums and, in recent years, has seen some fine archival performances issued, including On the Radio (Hux, 2007). A curious musician who, as Wyatt once wrote, "would rather play a wrong note than a note that somebody else had ever played," Miller's rapid evolution from Matching Mole's quirky but oftentimes sloppy guitarist into one with a richer vernacular and lither but still idiosyncratic approach to melody, remains one of the more under-appreciated stories in modern jazz; one that continues to this day with his group In Cahoots, and releases including All That (Cuneiform, 2003) and the more ambitious Conspiracy Theories (MoonJune, 2007).
Pyle played in the early incarnation of Gong responsible for its nascent classic Camembert Electrique (Charly, 1971) before returning to England in 1972 to reunite with Miller, his brother Steve (keyboards) and bassist/vocalist Richard Sinclairthe latter two having left Caravan, of which Sinclair was a founding member for a new version of Delivery. An early glimpse of this group, which was the germinal Hatfield, can be heard in the bonus tracks of Cuneiform's wonderful 2007 collection of Steve Miller and saxophonist Lol Coxhill's Miller/Coxhill Coxhill/Miller / "The Story So Far..." ..."Oh Really?". Pylewho sadly passed away in 2006 at a time when Hatfield had reformed (with keyboardist Alex Maguire replacing Stewart) for some live dates and the promise of new materialwas a drummer who, more than many, combined the energy and backbeat-driven approach of rock with jazz's looser interpretive aesthetic, and whose group Equip' Out demonstrated an even more fervent realignment to the jazz world in later years on albums like Instants (Hux, 2004).
Richard Sinclair had already established himself as a talented bassist, composer and singer with Caravan, especially on its early milestone, In the Land of Grey and Pink (Decca, 1971). With a curiously deadpan delivery, his mellifluous voice was one that never aimed for excess melisma, yet was immediately recognizable. As a bassist, while his playing with Caravan was nothing short of superb, it was with Hatfield that he had the opportunity to really stretch out and prove himself a more sophisticated player, both as a member of the ensemble and as a distinctive soloist.
But in typical Canterbury fashionthe scene so deeply incestuous and, from an archivist's point of view, so interwoven as to make documenting the period an almost insurmountable challenge (though Aymeric Leroy, through his Calyx: The Canterbury Webite and numerous CD liner notes, has become its undisputed expert)there were some changes in store before the final, classic line-up was cemented into place. Steve Miller left Delivery, to be replaced by Richard Sinclair's cousin Dave (also from Caravan) and a subsequent renaming of the group to Hatfield and the North (taken from road signs out of London, pointing to the A1 motorway). Within months Dave Sinclair left the band for the same reason he'd left Matching Moletoo much emphasis on improvisation returning to Caravan for a series of classics including For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night (Decca, 1973) and Caravan and the New Symphonia (Decca, 1974).
Dave Sinclair's ultimate replacement by Stewart was, however, the final piece in the puzzle that would make Hatfield and the North a group which may never have received the appreciation or commercial attention it deserved, but to which time has been extraordinarily kind. With a distinctive complexion that blended stunning solos with compositions from everyone in the groupoften joined together to create lengthy, side-long suites that were invariably far greater wholes than the sum of their parts Hatfield and the North's music remains both of its time and thoroughly timeless. It was and is music that reflected the musical fearlessness and unfettered stylistic cross- pollination of its time, and a cultural personality that kept its distance from the fusion efforts of its American counterparts. Unmistakably British, Hatfield and the North is a group that would have sounded completely different had it emerged a few years earlier or later, and with the same careful treatment from Esoteric's Mark Powell as he applied to other Canterbury releases including the two National Health albums from 1978 that would find Stewart, Miller and Pyle back together again, Esoteric's reissues of both Hatfield and the North and The Rotters Club are unequivocally definitive.
With clearly improved sonics, albeit often more in the nuances and less in- your-face, Esoteric has also collected all the bits and bobs from samplers and singles as bonus tracks on both reissues, including material from the 1975 Virgin label sampler V, the 1976 Chrysalis compilation of live performances from a number of groups at North London's heralded The Rainbow Theatre, Over the Rainbow and Hatfield's posthumous collection, Afters (Virgin, 1980). New liner notes by Sid Smith shed further light onto the group's history. When combined with two recent archival collections of live and radio performances, released by the group through Burning ShedHatwise Choice: Archive Recordings 1973-1975, Volume 1 (2005) and Hattitude: Archive Recordings 1973- 1975, Volume 2 (2006)the full story of Hatfield and the North is now available, in the best possible form.

Within the first six minutes of Hatfield and the North, almost every defining marker of the group is laid bare with four miniatures: Pyle's electronic, 23-second intro "The Stubbs Effect" that would bookend the album; Sinclair's equally pithy lyrical intro to the group, "Big Jobs (Poo Poo Extract)""Here's a song to begin the beginning/a few notes which are, arbitrary/but we try our best, to make it sound right/and hope that the music turns you on to our latest LP/should be a laugh certainly"; Stewart's effortlessly building, metrically shifting and harmonically challenging "Going Up To People and Tinkling," where the keyboardist and Miller solo in tandem, orbiting around each other and the still-under-three-minute song's singable melody, while responding to each other with early empathic chemistry; and Miller's "Calyx," with its serpentine melody and some fine lyric-less vocal interplay between Sinclair and guest singer Robert Wyatt.
A lesser-known tidbit about the opening and closing "The Stubbs Effect" comes from Aymeric Leroy: "'The Stubbs Effect,' in the incarnation(s) that features on the album, is not actually by Pip Pyle. Pip had written a piece by that name, which was a tape collage and deemed too long and experimental by the others, so Stewart quickly put together the multiple speeded-up pianets thing, which retained the title and credit to Pyle but he actually had nothing to do with it." Pyle would later recycle his "The Stubbs Effect" in the middle of "The Yes / No Interlude" on The Rotters Club.
With titles like these, as well as Sinclair's reprise of "Big Jobs," "Big Jobs No. 2 (by Poo And The Wee Wees)" leading into Stewart's contrapuntally complex yet eminently thematic "Lobster In Cleavage Probe," featuring the angelic Northettes (singers Barbara Gaskin, Amanda Parsons and Ann Rosenthal), it's clear that this is a group for whom humor is an equal component to some undeniably serious music. With Monty Python at its peak, the kind of titular, lyrical and musical absurdity that's found on the following "Gigantic Land Crabs In Earth Takeover Bid"a more foreboding and high octane piece that, throughout, reprises Pyle's lengthy, atmospheric but rhythmically insistent and improv-heavy "Shaving Is Boring" as a feature for Miller at his most abstruse, before turning lighter for a more restrained organ solo from Stewart, and finally climaxing thematically into Pyle's "The Other Stubbs Effect"is definitive of the entire album. Frank Zappa-esque but with a decidedly British slant, Hatfield may or may not have been influenced by the late guitarist/composer's episodic approach to side-long epics in the days of LPs, but there's a link just the same.
Miller's "Aigrette" may amble along amiably enough, but its snaking acoustic guitar themedoubled by Sinclair's voicenever repeats itself once for the first minute of its entire 98 seconds; one of the longest melodies ever written to remain, strangely enough, singable and easy to recall. Segueing into Sinclair's only slightly longer (well, at 2:56, nearly double "Aigrette"'s length) "Rifferama," Hatfield closes its first side with a truly mammoth collection of riffs that, nevertheless, manage to hang together as the group builds to a viscerally funky climax of solo trade-offs between the oblique Miller, guest saxophonist Didier Malherbe (from Gong) and Stewart, who succeeds in playing wah-wah'd lines that are both knotty and inherently humorous, as the song builds to a cacophony of multi-tracking that ends the only way it canwith the recording (this is, after all, before the days of sampling) of a large audience, laughing wildly.
"And now...Hatfield and the...North," say some unidentified voices, as Sinclair's "Fol De Rol" kicks off a second side-long suite that runs the gamut from Sinclair's change-heavy solo and quirky themes like those of "Shaving Is Boring" early proof of Pyle's compositional acumento the bassist's "Licks For The Ladies," where he gives some deep insight into Hatfield's modus operandi: "In the end, choosing notes to see if they make friends/A D-sharp minor flattened 5th will go to C/dotted crotchets usually divide by three/We don't really know now exactly what we mean/still we had the gist of it till the chords changed..." It's a challenge to know whether to be more impressed by the group's ability to create deeply complex music with solos peppered throughout in an impressive demonstration of form-meets-freedom, or by its ability to make the entire process somehow unostentatious, even as it makes music that would challenge most to play, let along recall in performance without charts (as Hatfield did, back in the day).
Either way, Hatfield and the North remains a remarkable debut; an album that, when it was released in 1974, bore the personalities of its members while sounding absolutely like nothing that had come before it. 35 years later, and despite its influence, it remains a unique album that still sounds like nothing else, and with Esoteric's attentive remastering, it sounds better than it ever has. The addition of Hatfield's only single1974's "Let's Eat Real Soon" (by Sinclair and Pyle), backed by Pyle's "Fitter Stoke Has A Bath," which would appear on The Rotters Club with slightly altered lyricsis a window into a band trying to write radio-friendly material but still unable to desert its own markers.
Hatfield's later Hatwise Choice and Hattitude would make the group's constant reworking of its material more self-evident in its live and radio recordings, but back in the day, the long-lost "Your Majesty Is Like A Cream Donut incorporating Oh What A Lonely Lifetime" was an early indicator, for those unable to hear Hatfield live, of how the group would reorganize and rearrange its material, with "Your Majesty Is Like A Cream Donut" a part of Stewart's Rotters Club epic "Mumps," and "Oh What A Lonely Lifetime" a previously unrecorded Sinclair tune that foreshadows a later tendency towards singer/songwriting and less focus on the more progressive tendencies of his early career.

If Hatfield and the North was a shot across the bow of progressive rock, fusion jazz and pop songwriting, The Rotters Club was an even more mature effort, taking all the group's many distinctive qualities to the next level. That it did so in such order is all the more remarkable. Sinclair's buoyant "Share It," which opens the disc, is the most concise pop song Hatfield ever recorded, and would have stood a far better chance at radio success than its previously released single. It also features one of Stewart's best solos, on Minimoog; perfect in construction, it's proof that his strength as a focused soloist was intact, whether it was over longer stretches, or as here over a single verse and chorus.
Like its predecessor, The Rotters Club is largely a continuous experience, with the first side's seven tracksranging from another serpentinely elliptical instrumental from Miller, "Lounging There Trying," to Pyle's riff-based "The Yes / No Interlude," which features Stewart's powerfully overdriven organ, a wind duet and powerful saxophone solo courtesy of Caravan's Jimmy Hastings, and one of Miller's most outrageous solos of the setlinked together with clever segues. The side ends with Pyle's lyrically rewritten but still hauntingly prescient "Fitter Stoke Has a Bath," and Sinclair's "Didn't Matter Anyway," one of the bassist's most poignant songs, also featuring some beautiful flute work from Hastings.
Throughout, both the group's collective chemistry and individual strengths have evolved palpably. Stewart, playing more electric piano than on Hatfield and the North, is especially notable, with his solo on "The Yes / No Interlude" representing one of the most harmonically deep, melodically labyrinthine improvisations of his tenure with Hatfield. His voicings are unmistakable and, without any doubt, jazz- centric in nature. Hatfield may have been dismissed by those who believed that jazz was proprietary to its American roots, but despite the pop songwriting that was an undeniable part of who Hatfield was, it was equally and undeniably a jazz group, where improvisation and sophistication were given an accessible veneer that masked the challenging music going on under the hood.
Two of Hatfield's best instrumental (largely) works make up side two of the original LP. Miller's "Underdub" is an exercise in a different kind of swing, with a knotty set of changes and another winding melody that, here, is all the more beautiful for its doubling by Stewart on electric piano and Hastings on flute. Stewart works his way through Miller's complex changes before the group returns to its lengthy theme and the album's only fade-out and clearly intended/lengthy pause, which sets up the ethereal and atmospheric opening of "Mumps," Stewart's most advanced writing to date.
Stewart's use of The Northettes' heavenly vocalsanother of Hatfield's most definitive colorsallows him to layer theme after theme without ever becoming overly dense. And as "Mumps" progresses from its initial quiet version of Stewart's memorable "Your Majesty Is Like A Cream Donut" theme (forgetting about the humorous Monty Python reference of the title) into its second segment, "Lumps," Stewart takes his most vibrant organ solo of the album, bolstered by Pyle's flexibly responsive rhythm and Sinclair's remarkable ability to simultaneously play anchor and foil. The Northettes, Sinclair, Miller and Stewart enter a passage of pure contrapuntal wizardry, with Pyle the only rock keeping a steady pulse; a lead-in to the knotty song form of "The Alphabet Song," towards the end of "Lumps." Puns galoreas Sinclair sings: "I have minded my P's and Q's/Tried not to damage any W's/And if I tread upon a B/I'll pick it up and tell it earnestly," ending with the almost painful "Balancing syllables upon my knees/I've flown through the air with the greatest of E's/I did what you told me to/Now I only have I's for U"it's an early sign of Stewart's comedic writing, something that would become increasingly evident on his liner notes to later compilations like National Health's Complete (East Side Digital, 1990) and even more so in Copious Notes (Egg Archive, 2007), Stewart's collection of recollections about Uriel and Egg by himself and others involved.
The near-perfect construction of the 20-minute long "Mumps" stands as some of Stewart's most profound writing everand some of Hatfield's best playing. It's near-classical use of thematic iteration, in a context that, at times, rocks with great energy but, elsewhere, demonstrates remarkable nuance and understatement, makes it in some ways a sad closer to The Rotters Club. While Stewart would go on to great compositional heights and more ambitious orchestration with National Health, the confluence that made Hatfield and the North what is was would never be recaptured, begging the question of where would this band have gone had it not broken up, the result of great artistic success that remained unsupported by anything more than minimal commercial achievement.
The live bonus tracks here are the same as those on the original Virgin CD issue, except that Stewart's brief "(Big) John Wayne Socks Psychology On The Jaw" and Pyle/Sinclair's "Chaos At The Greasy Spoon" that segued into the bassist's "Halfway Between Heaven and Earth" are omitted, but the version of "Halfway" is the full version, fading up on Sinclair's bass solo rather than the slightly edited take on the Virgin release where it's cut out. Yet another example of Sinclair's romantic lyric writing, but with a more complicated underlying context, Sinclair also demonstrates a distinctive variation on scatting, with an underwater sound that, as it turns out after seeing him perform with the reformed Hatfield at the 2006 La Festival des Musiques Progressives de Montréal, was nothing more complicated than wobbling his lips with his finger or rapidly undulating his tongue while he sings.
Two Miller tracks close out the disc, as they did the Virgin issue: the monster riff-driven "Oh, Len's Nature!" and more jazz-centric "Lything and Gracing"the former an anagram renaming of "Nan's True Hole" from Matching Mole's Little Red Record (Columbia, 1972), and the latter a retitling of Little Red Record's "Righteous Rhumba." Again, not particularly revealing since the release of Hatwise Choice and Hattitude, but in the day shedding some light into the improvisational prowess of the group in performance, they remain strong reminders of Miller's ability to find the absolute opposite of what might be expected.
Which, at the end of the day, is as good a way to describe Hatfield as any. Lyrical, funny, muscular, subtle, improv-rich but composition-heavy, there was and remains no group remotely like Hatfield and the North. Three-quarters of the group would, following its break-up in 1975, once again find themselves together in 1978 with National Health, a group that, by that time, had become more distinctly driven by Stewart's vision. Hatfield, on the other hand, was always more egalitarian, as Stewart recently described, "I always saw Hatfield as Pip's band because he pulled the personnel together. Musically it started off as a four-way thing which tilted in my direction after the introduction of my longer pieces, but I feel it remained a compositional collective to the end and was arguably a better, more varied band for that."
With Pyle's recent demise, Esoteric's definitive reissues of Hatfield and the North and The Rotters Club are even more important documents of a very specific time and placeand a group that successfully managed to create music of great depth and complexity, while retaining a sense of levity and lack of pretention that made it a model for progressive jazz groups for years to come, including France's Forgas Band Phenomena, and Italy's Picchio dal Pozzo and D.F.A. That the group lasted for such a short time is a tragedy; but that it left two albums that are as close as it comes to perfect is something for which to be very, very grateful.

hi Katemary.
I just put into the food processory butter and/or coconut oil, ground nuts (I used LSA - linseed/sunflower/almond), dried fruit (this time I used a Christmas mince mix, can do it with dates, sultanas or apricots), cocoa powder, dried coconut and essence (I have used either vanilla or peppermint).
Mix it all up, roll into balls, roll in coconut and store in fridge until firm (if you have the patience).
Yes with all that fruit and nuts it will be fairly high in carbs, but better than just fruit on its own because also high in fat from the butter and coconut. During weight loss phase I didn't eat these, my treat at that time was plain dark chocolate.

Rep. Markey, Are You Listening?
I only ask because I wonder if you knew how many of your constituents plan to vote against you if you vote for this health care bill.
58 percent of likely voters in a poll conducted in Colorado's 4th District will likely vote against Congresswoman Betsy Markey if she votes for Barack Obama's health care takeover bill this week. The poll was commissioned by Americans for Limited Government (ALG).
"These results are hardly surprising," said ALG President Bill Wilson. "Congresswoman Markey voted against the government takeover of health care in November, and her constituents are watching to see if she will hold the line."
58 percent voters said they would be less likely to vote for Congresswoman Markey in November if she voted for the bill, which is projected to cost $2.5 trillion over ten years once fully implemented. Only 38 percent would be more likely to vote for her.
Of those, 71 percent of Independent, unaffiliated voters said they would be less likely to vote for Congresswoman Markey if she voted for the bill. Only 24 percent said they would be more likely.
And here's another poll with interesting results for incumbents who might support this particular bill. (PDF)

I've read a lot of speculation that the Dem. leadership doesn't care as much about re-election, as it does about getting more left-wing bureaucracy in place. Because the latter is much harder to get rid of, no matter who controls congress next term.
That would seem to be the ideological attitude, Jed, but most Congressmen are pretty self-centered. The ones in "safe" districts might act that way, but there is a significant number in more competitive districts who are sweating the recklessness of the ideologues and incompetents like Pelosi.

You want to be well-prepared and have an answer for every possible contingency or question. However, you have nagging doubts about your capability to supply all the answers, as well as other doubts you have.
About what?
Such as the right way to dress? How forceful or confident should you be? Should you be forthright in asking questions or wait to be asked? Should you appear at ease, relaxed or remain more reserved and in reticent.
Well, how about talking with somebody you know who's been on an actual interview? You probably can think of more than one person. You're thinking that their interview was ages ago and you need advice that's more current.
Well, what about checking with an employment agency? Surely someone there can help? You think, no, they'll probably want to charge a fee and you've used them before to try and get a job and you just don't have any confidence in them.
Forget about who to talk to for advice, what about the matter of how to write a resume? Seems you've underestimated exactly what it takes to be well-prepared for your interview.
Hey, you haven't even thought about references. How do you go about diplomatically asking previous employers or co-workers for references. How do you word your written requests? There's a lot to consider and find out.
What do you do?
Get a job interview guide. It will give you all the answers you'll need to best prepare for your interview. All the details, most of all. Even points and matters that you haven't even considered.
Where to find a job interview guide?
Go online with a search engine and have a look at the current guides. Choose one that's current. Check with other friends who've used guides in the past and ask them which one they chose. If that's a dead end, no problem. Your search will give you a host of guides to choose from. You just need to pick the right one for you.
What makes a good job interview guide?
Reduce your choice to the ones that most appeal to you. Check each rating and the write-ups or feedback from previous customers.

Athletes that are invited to and attend the NTG or RC in-season European project will be automatics to the RC U16 Regional Junior Championships.
Automatics will be included in the overall divisional quota. Automatic athletes will be named in the divisional quota before the 2 Central Regional series quotas are divided based on population.
Automatics will not be counted in the in the Central Region's population for quota (Q) determination.
The Central Division will hold 2 qualifying series. As approved at the 2014 Fall CASC meetings: Region 1 (R1) will have a qualifying series and Region 2,3,4 (R234) will have a qualifying series for selections to the Rocky/Central Junior Championships (RCJC). Thus the division will have 2 qualifying series in the Division – (R1, R234). The series should be held over at least 2 weekends (2 3 day weekends preferred). Each series will host 2 SG, 2 GS and 2 SL USSA scored races. USSA points will seed athletes. Athletes will be selected for the RC Regional Championships by using the best three of six U16 results from 2SG/2GS/2SL races (only one of the SG's may count). Rankings per race will be determined by using World Cup points (top 30) in each USSA scored race. Using the single best result will break ties. If a tie still exists, the next best result would be used, and this process will continue until the tie is broken.
USSA members holding an X (foreign) license that are living & attending school in the USA and training and competing in the central division may qualify for the R/C championships within the quotas. Central will then have an additional 4 quota spots total (men & women) for the qualified X licensees. These X athletes are now eligible for the U16 National Championships within the RC quota.
Eligible athletes must be full time members of the Central Division and their local Central Region by the January 31 registration deadline to compete and qualify at events. The full time memberships and #'s are to be reported to the Central Manager who will share with the CASC executive committee Feb 1 for quota allocations to the 2 series.
Each series will hold 2 discretion spots per gender. The central coaches committee will consider discretion requests and will rule on those ASAP following the final series race. If there are no requests then the 2 discetion spots will move down the list to the next ranked athletes.
See the Region 1 website for details on that series:
The Region 234 (R234) series will comprise of the Shelly Glover weekend (Jan 15-17) and the Hosking Jr Championships Feb 19-21. Each 3 day weekend will hold a SG, GS and SL scored race for U16 qualifiing. One run of slalom will also be held in conjunction with the SG race to score Alpine Combined awards at the Hosking. However, only the SG portion of the Alpine Combined may count for RC U16 qualifying.
UPDATE: The postponed Glover SG will added to the Hosking R234 JR Championship so the Hosking will now have 2 SG races. Fact sheet posted on the Central calendar page

U19 Nationals Selections
2016 U19 National Championships - Copper Mt, Co. Feb 27 - Mar 4
RC Selections will be as follows:
Explanation of Selection Procedure
All races contested per event will be used in calculating each racers World Cup points in that event. If a tie remains after all results have been considered, a racer who started the series with higher seed points will be ranked in front of racers who started the series with lower seed points in the event. Placing the racer with the best ranking on the New World Cup point board first breaks a tie on the seed point board.
Selection proceeds from left to right on each row starting with World Cup points and ending with seed points. When a racer who has already been picked is encountered in a column, the column is skipped and selection continues with the next column in the same row. When the last column in a row is reached, selection continues with the first column in the next row. Only events scheduled in the Championship Event will be part of the selection board..
For example, consider the following selection board:
New World Cup Point Board USSA Seed Point Board
Selection for a 12 person, four-event team would be: (without taking Nor Am Automatics into consideration)
This selection will be completed before the Central Divisional selection is made (see below).
The Central Division quota - 4 men and 3 women based on the following criteria.
Throughout the Mid America Series, U19's will accumulate U19 MidAm Cup points (this list will be specific to JUST Central U19's) based on their finishes.
U19 Cup points rank will be compiled by the following method: (total # of Mid Am SL's divided by 2, plus 1) + (total # of Mid Am GS's divided by 2, plus 1) Note, no rounding up for numbers with decimals. For example, if there were 6 slaloms and 4 giant slaloms in the Mid Am schedule, then the athlete's best 4 slalom and best 3 giant slalom results would count towards the U19 Cup Rankings. (Because of weather Central will use the 2 RC U19 qualifying GS races at Vail along with Lutsen 2GS in January for the 2015-16 season for the best 3 of 4 GS U19 cup rankings)
Another ranking list based on USSA GS and SL rank will be generated. This list will be created by adding together the ranks for SL and GS purged to include Central U19's with FIS licenses only, to create a list that ranks athletes from those with the lowest combined rank first to the athlete with the highest combined rank last. In the case of a tie, the athlete's single lowest individual rank will be used, then the second lowest. If needed, lowest USSA points in SL or GS will break the tie.
After athletes have been ranked based on U19 MidAm Cup points earned (GS and SL points combined) and U19 Central USSA rank (GS and SL rank combined) the ITS method will be used to select Central's 4 men and 3 women to this event. The First column will have the U19 Mid Am Cup combined rank and 2nd column will have the combined USSA rank.

I usually don't do political posts here, but I think what is happening in Iran deserves it. It shows us that most of the Iranian people are totally different from what the media tell us.
I've been following what's happening over there with twitter, and I thought I'd show my support to the cause wearing green on blog. A lot of other sites are doing it (Reddit.com put a green t-shirt on his alien).
If you have a blog you can help spread some love to the guys in Iran: just add a green background to you blog.
I hope all my reader living in Iran are doing fine. And a special mention goes to Keyvan, which authored with me the book about ASP.NET MVC and Madhi, ASP.NET MVC developer. I hope you are both fine.
Dear Simone,Thanks a lot for your support.
thank you so much :)
Even if you're not a Mousavi supporter, the green colour has taken on a life of it's own.
Background changed on my site... thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for your support.
Nice idea.. i'll just have to figure out how to change the background!

Desert Princeby Constance O'Banyon
Egypt had finally fallen under the mighty fist of Rome. Queen Cleopatra lay entombed in the arms of her lover, and a false emperor ascended to the throne.... Young Julian Tausrat, Prince of the Badari and blood kin to the late Queen, was forced to flee Egypt. On the island of Bal Forea, he trained in the ways of the warrior and waited for the day when he could return to claim the desert land that was his birthright and the girl who had refused to betray him. The Sabinah he found was no longer the child who had shadowed his footsteps, nor the slender young woman whose untutored kisses had awakened his own desire. This Sabinah held a secret that could free Egypt from Roman tyranny...or sentence Julian and his people to death. Only by trusting in her courage and his own strength could the Desert Prince save both the people he was destined to rule and the woman he was fated to love.
Hawk's Pledgeby Constance O'Banyon
Historical romance
Lord of the Nileby Constance O'Banyon
The daughter of an animal trainer gets involved with a nobleman-soldier, and with the plots surrounding Caesar, Cleopatra, and young King Ptolemy in ancient Alexandria. Some descriptions of sex. From the book jacket: AN UNCERTAIN CONQUEROR Ramtat saw her tears and was almost undone. "I have no right to touch you since you are under my protection." She took several quick steps away from him. "How can I trust you now? If you can't keep away from me, then let me go home!" Ramtat stalked across the rug to stand before her, capturing her face between his hands and turning it toward the lantern. "The gods have given you the face of a goddess, the green eyes of our queen, and a temper that would sour goat's milk." She stared at him coldly. "I'm glad you dislike me. I would consider it an insult if you thought well of me." Overcome with weariness, he sat on one of the couches. "I've never implied I disliked you." He looked at her, totally confused. He had commanded legions, conquered nations and been covered with glory, but nothing had prepared him for his encounters with Lady Danae. "I am no longer surprised that your father kept you hidden in the country. In the few weeks I've known you, you have made an enemy of Gaius Julius Caesar, the most powerful man in the world, and if you hadn't left Alexandria when you did, you might have toppled the whole Ptolemaic Dynasty."
The Moon and the Starsby Constance O'Banyon
WANTED: Caroline Richmond started running on her wedding day-the same day her husband died. Her malicious brother-in-law had kept his vow to make her a widow, but she knew he wouldn't stop at that, and her solitary life was filled with fear of him always one step behind her. She thought she'd found a shred of peace in Texas, and at least a glimmer of the life she deserved. But when a mysterious bounty hunter came to town, she knew the wrath in his amber eyes was meant only for her. He found a way to be everywhere she was, speaking words with double meaning in his smooth French accent and making her nerves hum in a way she thought she'd conquered. Wade Renault came out of retirement for one reason: to see a deceptive murderess brought to justice. But when he met the woman pictured in the tintype he'd carried for months, he sensed more panic than treachery. She lived too simply, she seemed too honest and scared. Someone had deceived him, but he would wait it out and get her right where he wanted her, beneath... The moon and the stars.
Ride the Windby Constance O'Banyon
Historical Romance set in Texas.
September Moonby Constance O'Banyon
When petite, onyx-haired Cameron Madrid refused to share her ranch's water supply, Hunter Kingston was furious. The two families had always had cause to feud, but this year of drought was no time for spite. The arrogant, handsome landholder considered asserting his rights at gunpoint--then decided instead to win her with searing kisses and weaken her will with slow caresses. Only when he'd taken all he wanted would he leave the icy beauty and punish her for daring to challenge his authority! Ever since she was a little girl, spirited and proud Cameron had learned of the wrongs the wealthy Kingstons had perpetrated on her family... and all she had ever dreamed of was getting even. But the night strong, dark Hunter showed up at her door, the innocent miss was caught off guard. His deep, masculine voice made her want to hold him close, his strong, tanned hands made her yearn to feel his touch. In the back of her mind she swore she'd never let him use her stream, but now all she could think of was his lips crushing hers, her soft flesh pressed against the firm muscles of his chest-and succumbing to feverish rapture beneath the September moon.

In his first season of high school golf, Zack Berry earned a strawberry milkshake and a trip to Columbus for the state golf tournament.
Believe it or not, the berth in the tournament was the unexpected treat.
At Wednesday's Division III district golf tournament at Tannenhauf, Newton Falls No. 1 and No. 2 golfers Jacob Harrah and Sean Croell shot 84 and 88, respectively.
"A little bit later Zack comes in," Tigers coach Scott Kernan said. "I take his card and ask, 'What kind of milkshake do you want?' I wanted to end the season on a positive note and buy everybody milkshakes.
"He chuckled at me and said, 'I'll take strawberry' and he kind of had this smirk on his face. He said, 'I shot 35 (on the back nine)' and my mouth dropped. I said, 'Oh my, you'll qualify for Columbus,' and sure enough he did."
Berry, who shot a 78, and the John F. Kennedy boys golf team will be able to take advantage of a new rule amendment to the state tournament. It's even more beneficial than a frozen dairy dessert.
Coaches are now allowed to follow along on the course and talk with their players.
"It used to be only when that player finished the hole," Kernan said. "You could only talk from the green to next tee box. Now, you can coach them up throughout the round.
"If there's a situation where a kid is going to try to hit over a tree, you can say, 'Hey listen, I think you need to take a 4 iron and punch under it.' You can give whatever advice you want to give as long as you don't slow play up."
It'll especially be beneficial to Berry, a junior, who is making the trip for the first time after not even playing golf his first two years of high school.
"It'll be calming to Zack," Kernan said. "To have somebody there with him and talking throughout the round will put him at ease."
Harrah will also join Berry and Kernan to get a glimpse of the tournament setup. A junior, too, his goal is to qualify next year.
"Jake knows more about golf than I do," Kernan said. "He'll be Zack's right-hand man down there. He knows Zack's swing and can dissect anybody's swing. He's a great team player."
The Eagles have experience on the state's biggest stage, playing in last year's Division III tournament at North Star in Sunbury.
"What's great about it is that it's two days," said Kennedy coach Jim St. George. "You've got to get out of the blocks early. We're going to focus on the first round because it's too hard to make up ground on day two."
The Eagles were ninth after the first day and improved to eighth place with a two-day total of 681 in 2012.
"You've really got to be in the top four or five to make a big move," St. George said.
He plans to take full advantage of the new coaching rule, though Ryan Fowler, Billy Phillips and Daniel LaPolla are three of Ohio's most intelligent, polished and tranquil golfers.
"I have a lost of trust in my No. 1-2-and-3," St. George said. "I'm going to focus more on my four and five guys (Ryan Theis and Zach Shoaf) because they'll need more help with the inexperience.
"It's awfully exciting being able to talk on the course. That makes it more enjoyable on my end, too, to coach instead of just being there."


text: documents A bit of security for homeless youth, and their documents By Gabriel Spitzer • Jul 23, 2012 Gabriel Spitzer / KPLU A Seattle non-profit is trying to help homeless youth back up their important documents. Why does that matter? Well, try getting a job, government benefits or any number of other things necessary to get your life back on track, without proper paperwork. It's an especially difficult challenge for homeless kids, who have no safety deposit box, no locked file cabinet, maybe not even a safe drawer somewhere. Steve Albertson of Springwire, a non-profit that began by providing free voicemail service to homeless people, says often the young people just have a bag with everything in it, including their ID, work permits and phone numbers.
