Monday @ 7:30PM -- "Russak's Meat"
Join Huell to discover another downtown hidden gem: Russak's Cured and Smoked Products. The Russak family has been selling succulent meats and cold cuts for over 50 years. Now run by the second generation, the company cures everything from corned beef and roast beef to jerky and chili con carne.
Watch a preview:
Tuesday @ 7:30PM -- "Cow Tongue"
This Huell adventure is the result of some disparaging on-air remarks about what he quickly discovered is a culinary delicacy for many people: cow tongue. The episode features a visit to Langer's Deli and a taco stand near USC for some first-hand tongue tasting. The show's editor, Michael Garber -- a tongue aficionado -- also makes an appearance.
Watch a preview:
Wednesday @ 7:30PM -- "Pastrami"
Huell stops by Langer's Deli on Alvarado Street, which has been slicing up pastrami sandwiches since 1947. He then visits Johnnie's, a Culver City landmark since 1952 famous for its hot dogs, hamburgers, and of course, pastrami.

Friday @ 7:30PM -- "Hot Dog on a Stick"
We're off to Santa Monica Beach to the site of the very first Hot Dog on a Stick. It all started in 1946 when Dave Barham opened his first stand by Muscle Beach. The company has become a California tradition since then, with Dave's daughter at the helm.
Watch a preview:
Saturday @ 5:00PM -- "Weed Show"
For most gardeners weeds are a real nuisance, but that's not the case for the members of the 29 Palms Historical Society. Huell visits the 29 Palms' annual Weed Show and gets a close-up look at some very special "weeds."

To Teach and Persuade
Sherman J. Clark
University of Michigan Law School
January 17, 2013
Pepperdine Law Review, Vol. 39, No. 5 (2013): 1371-99
U of Michigan Public Law Research Paper No. 300
Legal speech and religious speech inevitably do some of the same work. Both are vehicles through which we both talk about and become the kind of people we are. Granted, those of us who teach and argue about the law do not often conceive of our work in this way. That is part of what I hope to begin to remedy in this essay. While the construction of character is a more obvious aspect of religious than legal thought, law, including legal argument, can be constitutive in similar ways. If so — if our ways of talking about the law serve some of the same ends as do our ways of talking about religion — then we may be able to learn how better to talk about the law by thinking about how we talk about religion. I do not mean things like paragraph structure or argument organization or the proper use of headings, but rather something more subtle and more fundamental. One way to put it is this: legal speech can learn from religious speech how to be less small, and perhaps more ennobling.
More specifically, those of us who speak and teach about the law may be able to learn from religious ways of speaking and preaching how better to think about and take responsibility for the potential impact of what we say on those to whom we speak. And by impact, here I mean not merely our influence over what people do. We should, of course, be thoughtful about and take responsibility for what we persuade people to do. But I mean something more. We should also pay attention to the effects we may have on who people become, and, ultimately, whether they thrive. While lawyers rarely, if ever, confront such matters, preachers do. They have no choice. Those who talk about religion are forced by their subject matter to address questions of character and thriving — to think and speak about the ways in which who we are impacts how well and fully we live. This is never easy, nor should it be, but preachers cannot be afraid to talk about what matters, even when the things that matter prove difficult to define or impossible to measure. Lawyers should aspire to the same courage, and may be able to learn from the ways in which preachers speak in the face of this challenge.

Tangy Cheesecake Tart with Lime-Poached PearsElizabeth Stark
There are a lot of things to like about this dessert. Let's start with the flavor. Rich cheese and the tang of lemon complement the homemade butter-and-spice graham cracker crust, topped with sweet pears that melt in your mouth.
Flavor like this is worth working for. Except that you don't have to–your food processor is the workhorse here. The only hard part is coming to terms with all of that cream cheese. Let me assure you, it's totally worth it for this ultra fancy-pants fall dessert.
Cheesecake Tart (adapted from Martha Stewart.com)
for the crust
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (roughly 6-8 whole crackers)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
2 pinches salt
pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Also preheat a rimmed baking sheet. Combine everything but the butter in the bowl of a food processor and process until the texture is consistent and gravelly. Drizzle in the butter and pulse a few times. Using the flat bottom of a glass, press into a liberally buttered 9″ tart pan evenly. Carefully set into your freezer for 15 minutes.
for the filling
2 packages cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt
Knock the crumbs out of your food processor and wipe clean. Combine all of the filling ingredients and process for 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth. Pour into the chilled crust, set on preheated baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, until the filling is set and the sides have puffed up slightly. Carefully set the tart on a wire rack to cool.
for the topping
5 seckel pears sliced (substitute bosc if needed)
juice of 1 lime
2-3 tablespoons sugar
3″ segment of vanilla bean, halved
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
While the cheesecake bakes, prepare the topping. In a medium saucepan combine the lime juice, vanilla extract and salt, and cook over medium-high heat. Gently add the pears and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. The pears will soften, but still hold their shape and a have bit of bite. Remove the pears, turn the heat to high and reduce the remaining juices briefly, just until the liquid starts to change color. Pour syrup into a small bowl and set aside to cool.
When the tart has cooled completely, gently dislodge it from your tart pan, and set onto a large plate. Arrange the pears into a simple rosette, or scatter around the tart. Serve slices with a drizzle of pear lime syrup.

Anomalies: Ritual and Language in Lethal Injection Regulations (2008)
Leigh Buchanan Bienen
Northwestern University School of Law
Fordham Urban Law Journal, Vol. 35, No. 4, 2008
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 08-14
The state lethal injection protocols do not regulate lethal injections, but instead describe hypothetical rituals meant to reassure the reader - whomever that might be - that a controlled and orderly process, in accordance with the rule of law, will take place. The protocols are public relations documents, not legitimate legal regulations. Their status of 'non-legal' documents, provisions without legal authority is evident from the fact that they apparently are not governed by state administrative procedure acts.

Ulysses Howard, Jr., a retired Toledo police officer who received numerous medals and commendations over his career for bravery and professionalism, died of coronary artery disease Friday in Toledo Hospital. He was 70.
Mr. Howard's first medal of meritorious service was awarded in 1986. He pursued two armed bank robbers who fled in a vehicle and then on foot after their vehicle crashed.
Officers arrested the men and recovered two firearms and more than $2,300 in cash. In the after-action report, the lieutenant in charge wrote that Mr. Howard's "diligent, quick actions and bravery were responsible for the apprehension of two bank robbers," according to police department records.
He was awarded another medal later that year for saving the life of a woman who was about to be crushed by a stolen Pepsi truck.
The driver struck five vehicles, injuring several people, in his attempt to get away with the stolen truck. The thief then backed the truck into a compact car, injuring the woman inside, and was trying to back all the way over the car when Mr. Howard broke the passenger side window of the moving truck, climbed inside, and arrested the driver.
In 1972, Mr. Howard, while a detective, was credited with helping crack a burglary ring that was breaking into homes in West Toledo. He visited every roll call to update patrol officers about the burglary investigation. "This initiative and daily communication proved to be a successful factor and led to the arrest of four suspects," a sergeant wrote.
Mr. Howard joined the police department in 1968 after working as a meat cutter and was a patrolman for three years until 1971, when he became a detective.
He was promoted to sergeant in field operations in 1984, and went on to do stints in the communications and traffic sections. He retired in 1990.
After retiring, Mr. Howard became transportation supervisor for the Toledo Head Start program, a position he held at the time of his death, according to his wife, Linda.
"He loved the Head Start program," she said.
His pastimes included playing cards, which he did with his dear friends George Davis and John Knox. Every Saturday, he spoke to another old friend, his cousin Steve Palmer, a retired Toledo police officer living in Charlotte.
To his friends, he was "Uly," but to his siblings and nephews he was "Baby Bro," a nickname family members gave him as a child, his son, Mark Howard, said.
Mr. Howard was born in Springfield, Ohio, the fifth of Corilee and Ulysses Howard, Sr.'s six children. He was 10 when his family moved to Toledo, where he graduated from Scott High School.
He was previously married to Willetta Condrey and Betty Grant.
Surviving are his wife, Linda; daughters, Anita Devalt, Denise Smith, Autumn Jackson, and Yolanda Carter; sons, Tony and Mark; stepsons, Anthony and Larry Glover; sisters, Charlotte Westfield, Joyce Neal, and Jessie Awls; brother, Ivan Cage, 18 grandchildren, and several great grandchildren.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Friday in St. James Armory Church, 3319 Nebraska Ave., with a wake an hour earlier.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday in the Dale Riggs Funeral Home, with a Fraternal Order of Police ceremony at 4:30.

comfortable lead by Yuzu
too bad about Takahashi's injury but even if he places 4th again tommorow there is no way he is not going to the Olympics
Kozuka or Oda will be the sacrificial lambs

Soooo happy for Machida Hope he skates clean tomorrow too. To think that noone thought of him as a serious contender until this season. Gosh.
1-Hanyu; 2-Kozuka; 3-Machida; 4-(or even 5-)Takahashi, would the JSF take Takahashi over Machida? Machida had some great showings in the season...
I think Kozuka knows that if he wants to make the Olympic Team, he has to finish 2nd. 3rd won't be enough.
What happens if both Oda and Kozuka beat Takahashi? Oda has had some good freeskates and Kozuka is comfortably 3rd.
umm... a little off-topic, but concerning Kozuka: Was his sweat outburst (blue shirt, CoChina LP, he was already soaked before the LP) from this season ever addressed?
Seems like more and more japanese skaters have a towel in the kiss and cry, regular tissues don't seem to do it anymore!
I just hope we don't have a repeat of last season where the Japanese men imploded after nationals. It seems that the Japanese men had difficulty preparing intricate, multi-quad programs after for late internationals events. It would be crazy if the people who get left of the team skate well at senior Bs or Worlds. Similar to Oda's performance at Bavarian Open, I think heads will roll if the Olympic team under performs but the people who got left off skated well at other events.
Wasn't that Angela Nikodinov who was with Murakami at Kiss and Cry?
I did not know she was coaching him as a member of Frank Carroll's team.
I am glad that this year's Japanese Nationals finishes on 23rd,
so all the foreign coaches can fly back home just before Christmas.
I hope the JSF posts protocols soon.. machida's good when he's on but he seemed to lose control a bit at the GPF i wonder if the JSF trusts him to handle the pressure of the olympics. But even when Machida lands all his jumps, I don't get the 'wow' factor coming from him like I do from Dai or Yuzuru. Maybe it's just my flutz OCD getting to me..
Felt so bad for Dai after the short program.. so unlucky to have to skate right after Yuzuru
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcpAxdPsJ4Q Taka at 4:58 on the triple lutz combo .. so much grit and fight in this performance :')
yes, I was surprised when I saw her and thought it was Nikodinov, so I checked it out on wikipedia, she's listed as one of his coaches.
No matter what the final result, they have to send Daisuke to Sochi. Otherwise the entire skating world will be disappointed.
It's not necessarily fair, but it's true.
Yusuru is just awesome. Could be I'm a bit bored to watch this SP, having seen it many times, but I think it was smart of him to keep it. He makes it look so easy and smooth. And the major part of the olympic audience has never seen it before
Love Machida's SP too, though I still want Oda in Sochi.
How low would Takahashi have to place to be left off the team? 6th? 10th? Like, is him competing here just a formality?

New Zealand's fairy tale continues after they hung on for an excellent 1-1 draw with world champion Italy at Nelspruit.
Several pundits called New Zealand's draw against Slovakia the nation's finest sporting performance.
That time it may have been hyperbole – now it isn't.
This may not be a vintage edition of the Azzurri and the title holder was on the back foot until a debatable penalty.
The Italians always start slowly in competitions but now have to beat Slovakia. On this evidence, there'll be no trophy this time
What's for sure is that the 2010 version of the All Whites are their nation's finest group of footballers.
Credit goes to Shane Smeltz, for a typical poacher's goal, playing off the last man and sneaking in to capitalise on Fabio Cannavaro's error.
Daniele de Rossi's dive opened up the Kiwi backline for Vincenzo Iaquinta to equalise.
Italy dominated the closing period without inching ahead, although shots by Ivan Vicelich and substitute Chris Wood both went close.
But New Zealand held on for a second point, keeping the dream of qualification for knockout football alive.
Friday's match against group leaders Paraguay will be just as tough as today's game. But no one is taking the team lightly any more, and that's definitely not the case on home soil.
One example of this is the high profile the team is receiving. Football, usually a lesser ranked sport, is big news.
The All Blacks' rugby exploits – they've had their best start to a season for some time – keep the back pages. However, the All Whites boast the front pages. They are the biggest story in town.
And they still have more points than Australia....
Heroic presentation!
28% ball possession is probably the lowest so far in this WC and probably in any "DRAW" game ever in the WC history. As I have said in other blog posts, this is the tone of the 2010 WC and unfortunatelly for the spectators, its giving amazing results to the underdogs. This is mostly the so called "superior" team's fault. The underdogs go in with a strategy of ultra defending themselves, and the world powers go in a match with the "not wanting to lose" attitude. (except Argentina and Germany, despite their loss to Serbia)
Congratulations, and I hope New Zealand makes it to the next round just to give a lesson to the overrated and overpayed teams and players around the globe.
Both teams had some luck, as well as being unlucky, but this Italian team could easily represent their country at the next Olympics in the "Diving" section of their swim team! Good on you All Whites make the next one a win!
FIFA was going to crack down on 'divers", but except for Germany's Orzil against australia, refs have been turning a blind eye.
But then there is a FIFA agenda - keep Italy in the World Cup at all costs, it would be unthinkable to lose England, France and Italy after pool play and if results go favourably for Australia, Germany could also be on an early plane. That would be disastrous for Sepp Blatter and FIFA.
This result was beyond my wildest dreams and even if we dont progress to the next round we could still go out of this World Cup UNDEFEATED!
Well done New Zealand. However let's get some things right. New Zealand's goal was off side and it is a penalty if you grab someone's shirt in the box.
Azzuri fan
As Captain Ryan Nelson so rightly pointed out the Italy game wasn't pretty in the least but the All Whites showed loads of determination and "guts". At the the moment the teams confidence, not to mention the fans, is his high but nobody close to the team is under any illusions as to the task of taking the points needed off a very impressive to date Paraguay. It might be OK to dare to dream the impossible dream but we need to be realistic of the task facing us. Win, lose or draw NZ fans should be very proud of their team at this year's World Cup and the legacy they are leaving for those who will follow in their historic footsteps. Smash "em bro.
GJ NZ. Even if Smeltz was offside u can clearly see cannavaro hand the ball so it wudda been penalty anyways. I reckon we need more champions league grade refs cause that guy from guatamela was so bias.
Spanish Fan >.
Great game, great result for us! I think karma really bit the Azzuri's hard in this game, they really snaked Australia 4 years ago and it's ironic that it's the Kiwis putting things right. The goal was vaguely offside, but there's also a hand ball in there. Shirts are grabbed in the box on almost every set piece and the dive that followed was a disgrace; please take note, Julie. Multiple dives in fact. The ref was shocking and Italy was lucky to scrape a point. C'Mon New Zealand!
Great result for us kiwis, as football fans and a nation this will only improve the ranks in this country, as for the game, if u watch most of the corners there were loads of shit pulling going on!! so if the ref were up to standard and not so bias we may hav seen 13 pens!!! get real de rossi, u dove and bring shame to your nation, cum on the all whites!!
The penalty winning dive was an absolute disgrace.... weak referee with 'stars in his eyes'...Unfortunately it was more of the same from chicken-hearted italian footballers... we are sick of seeing this rubbish win games in european competitions.
To the people focusing on possession %'s I ask you the question: what would Italy's approach have been if they had scored in the 8th minute?
Being offside and scoring is not cheating, just a poor call which we see plenty of. Diving in the box to gain a penalty is cheating, and unfortunately backed up again by a poor call. All i hope that is if this pool goes to a draw from the hat, and amazingly Italys name is pulled out to progress, i would like to see them pull out New Zealands name afterwards to prove their name was even in the hat. I've got a feeling we're gonna get a good result against paraguay but be knocked out by the corruption of the organization that is fifa.
Honestly people must all be watching different games. This was not a majestic performance, it was against an Italian team that is struggling to find any creative breakthrough, a problem which will continue regardless if they get out of the group or not. 29% possession, and 3 shots on goal is not football, yeah a great achievement for a team that has no aspirations but that is it.
@Toby - You have got to be kidding me, Matterazzi was sent off for no reason, so Italy played most of the match with 10 men and still won, everyone forgets that, they just remember that Italy got a penalty in the last few seconds of the game that played for or not, was a penalty! All this rubbish about it was stolen is complete tosh!
I am an Italian, and this game was painful to watch. We could have played all night, and the score would have remained 1-1, there was no sign of breaching the NZ defence.
We hear of offside, but honestly I saw no offside. Smeltz took his chance well after the ball fell off Cannavaro.
We have some serious questions. There have only been 2 shots on target against Italy this world cup, but this has led to two goals. Zambrotta is the only Italian player who deserves to wear the blue shirt as he was the only one running. The others expected to be naturally better than their NZ counterparts, but they were proved hugely wrong.
Back to the drawing boards - if you don't shoot, you don't score! Crossing into 2m tall NZ defenders is not the way to score clearly. We Italians learnt a dear and expensive lesson yesterday. Teamwork prevails skill at all levels.
Hats off to NZ who played with pride. Respect.
Paraguay do not have an easy game against the All Whites.
Italy should be ashamed of themselves, drawing against a bunch of part timers, a-league and 2nd division players in the UK. The overpayed Italians couldn't win this game because they were more concerned with there hairstyles and makeup. Italians should wake up today feeling ashamed of there team
a dive and an embelishment are two different things...without the jersey clinch, DeRossi doesnt get to the ball...exactly the same fashion he scored in game one, creeping behind the keeper...
i agree wholeheartedly with sam "Heroic presentation!
28% ball possession is probably the lowest so far in this WC and probably in any "DRAW" game ever in the WC history. As I have said in other blog posts, this is the tone of the 2010 WC and unfortunatelly for the spectators, its giving amazing results to the underdogs. This is mostly the so called "superior" team's fault. The underdogs go in with a strategy of ultra defending themselves, and the world powers go in a match with the "not wanting to lose" attitude. (except Argentina and Germany, despite their loss to Serbia)
Congratulations, and I hope New Zealand makes it to the next round just to give a lesson to the overrated and overpayed teams and players around the globe."
According to several players, they were warned by FIFA refs going into the tourney that any shirt pulling, grabbing, or any other shenanigans inside the box would be strictly called. Unfortunately that has not rung true and the shirt pulling - particularly inside the box - has been out of control. I for one am THRILLED that it was finally called, even if it took a semi-dive by an Italian player to do so. These games would be so much more exciting if players weren't allowed to mug each other inside the area (witness the US match against Slovenia which weren't just fouls, they were bear hugs). DeRossi's shirt was clearly pulled badly and whether you like it or not, the rules say that's a penalty. The only shame is that he had to hit the ground to get the call.

Police: Armed robber makes off with around $35
Authorities seek help identifying robber
Daytona Beach Shores police are looking for a man who robbed a 7 Eleven at gunpoint on Tuesday.
Just before 11 p.m., a masked gunman demanded a 63-year-old store clerk put all the cash from the register in a bag.
"He walks in with a semi-automatic handgun, threatens a 63-year-old lady with a gun, steals I think $35," said Police Chief Stephan Dembisky. "Unbelieveable, to risk somebody's life for just $35."
The victim called 911 after the suspect ran from the store. She was not injured.
The suspect was inside for just minutes. Police said they have little to go on because the robber wore a mask.
If you have information on the robber, contact Daytona Beach Shores police at 386-322-5033.

Well, Colts fans, it's time to become serious about those dreams of a new solution at center. Indianapolis has released starter Samson Satele. Cutting Satele will save the Colts $3,999,999 in cap space (with just over $1 million in dead money, that's really the number). Yes, it's time to say goodbye.
Not that I had any doubt, but can confirm #colts have released Samson Satele.
— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) March 6, 2014
Fans have been calling for Satele's release for quite some time, and the Colts' letting him go indicates they now have a plan in place for his replacement.
Satele struggled at times in pass coverage, but his biggest issue in 2013 was run blocking. Big nose tackles tended to manhandle the Colts' starting center, and he had trouble finding anyone to block or double team against 4-3 fronts.
Satele took a beating in run blocking to the tune of a -12.1 Pro Football Focus grade and managed a positive score of 0.8 in pass protection. That was good for 31st in the league among centers (not counting the playoffs, when Satele actually fared well).
The Colts are officially moving on. There are a few prospects in the draft, and they may have long-term plans for Khaled Holmes. However, it's still quite likely Indianapolis will seek out a proven veteran to avoid going into the 2014 season with an untested second year player at the top of the depth chart. If they don't sign anyone, it's a strong statement of their faith in Holmes.
Whatever Ryan Grigson's plan is, it's time to say, "Goodbye, Samson." He's probably a great guy, and we wish him all the best in the sometimes cruel world of the NFL and beyond. But for the fans who've been calling for his departure, there shall be no more of this:
or this
or this
Let's just hope whoever comes in to replace him is truly an upgrade.

Revenge of the Voodoo dollsSubmitted by Dr. Joseph Hecht on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 8:27pm
Although life is grand after a 7-0 homestand that saw sweeps over the severely injured Dodgers (Furcal, AJones, Garciaparra, LaRoche and 3/44) and the severely injured Rockies (Holiday, Hawpe, Tulowitzki and Barmes), I'm sensing strange karma that may be responsible for some weird happenings that are in the news.
To quote Ricardo Montalban, "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold."
Former Cub, Shawn Estes got his only win so far this season as well as the Padres only win against the Cubs. He was slated to open the upcoming series in San Diego vs the Cubs monday night until he fell going from the clubhouse to the dugout friday in San Francisco, breaking the thumb on his left pitching hand. He will be replaced by Cha Seung Baek a 28 yr old Korean and former Mariner minor leaguer.

I started with Eddie May Mysteries in February of 1995; since 1999 I've been calling myself…er acting as the companies Production Manager. Over the past several years there have been many, many, shows and events worth mentioning; like the time in a show called RCMPuleeeze Dan Lajoie was playing the character of Red Serge and graced the stage with his version of Bruno meets Jean Guy the fry guy of Gatineau. After Dan dropped to the stage floor during his death scene I came running out with the stretcher to place his dead carcass on; it just so happened that there was table of 10 ladies celebrating a bachelorette party stage to the right of where Dan's body lay. While lifting him onto the stretcher I proceeded to grab him at the midsection of his tightly fit spandex dance pants and lifted straight up. Well, when the filthy deed was done and Dan was about to be carried out for his final ride I looked down to see him convulsing with laughter I then looked around to see what was UP and what to my surprise arose such a clatter was I had just shown the table of bachelorette ladies Dan's sweaty untrimmed red serge! I had not only grabbed his pants but the dance belt as well. We do advertise our shows as great for bachelorette parties… and on this particular night there was no detesting our promise! All we could do was laugh our way off stage and out the door leaving the rest of the sold out crowd – except for that lucky table of ladies – perplexed as to what had just happened.
Eddie May Murder Mysteries celebrates 25 years with a bang! For this silver anniversary celebration, the company stages a murder mystery musical Eddie Get Your Gun, created by Noel Counsil and Dan Lalande, directed by Thea Nikolic. The show plays Saturday evenings through the summer at Scarlett's Dinner Theatre in the Byward Market. For more information, please call 613 850 9700 or visit http://www.eddiemay.com

Pretend that's a Crimson W, okay???
Hello Followers. Hope you had a great Holiday break.
Yesterday afternoon, I returned from a 1400 mile drive back to the New York State Compound from Miami, Florida.
After removing about a foot of snow from my driveway, I sat down to catch a bit of last night's Sugar Bowl action. For a few quick Cougar-relevant reflections on that game as well as tonight's Fiesta Bowl contest, read on..
Followers, in case you missed part of the early season Coaching Merry-go-round, Louisville coach Charlie Strong was targeted as the first, second, third, and fourth choice of the University of Tennessee. And last night's game showed you why that interest was well justified..
Indeed, the former Defensive Coordinator of the Florida Gators absolutely blitzed the 3rd ranked Gators in a contest that wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated.
Outside of the surprising outcome, the hidden headline of the game was that last night's coming out party for Strong was not the swan song for the University of Louisville. And the reason: Strong likes Louisville, likes the program HE has created, and is wise enough to know that the grass isn't necessarily greener elsewhere.
And frankly, Followers, when I think about Strong's decision to stay put and then look to tonight's game—which features Kansas State's resurgence under Bill Snyder the second time around—I wonder what things would have been like had Mike Price eschewed the allure of the University of Alabama.
But, even more than lamenting Price's decision to jettison a program that he had just taken to #3 in the country, I find myself more and more wondering whether or not Jim Sterk made Colossal Gaffe #3 (Letting Price leave was #1, hiring Ken Bone was #2) by not hiring Price for a second go-around after letting Bill Doba go in 2007?
Oh Happy Days……
I mean, think about it. Where would this program be right now if Mike Price had been given the job in 2007 and not Paul Wulff? What would Price have been able to accomplish if given access to the types of fiscal resources and facilities upgrades that would have been forthcoming under Bill Moos?
To be sure, I'm not sure that Price 2.0 would have taken us back to the Rose Bowl by now–especially in view of Oregon and Stanford's dominance–but here's to thinking that we would have been able to hit the JC's well enough n 2008 and 2009 ito be well into bowl territory by now, if not challenging for one of the conference's top tier bowl slots..
So, as we get ready to watch what should be Chip Kelly's swan song tonight, keep an eye on Kansas State and the head man that walks their sidelines.
And as you do, you can know that virtually all of me will be chanting the following mantra all night long: "That could have been us. That should be us!!!!"
All for now. Go Cougs.

The death of a man found dead in his burning car on March 4 has been ruled a suicide by El Paso Police.
KVIA usually does not report on suicides but an exception in this case was made because of how the body was found in public in a burning car.
El Paso Fire Dept. firefighters were called out to Valley Creek Park at about 2:22 p.m. on March 4 to extinguish a burning car.
After putting out the fire they found a body and called police.
Detectives have learned that the victim inside of the vehicle appeared to be depressed and chose to take his life.
Police have chosen not to release the man's name.
The family has asked detectives for privacy as they deal with the loss of their loved one, according to a police spokesman.

Now that was a different way for the Lady Buffs to win.
After averaging 93.5 points during its first two games, West Texas A&M found a new way to win Friday night by taking a tightly-called, turnover-plagued 61-48 victory against Southwestern Oklahoma State before 350 fans at the WT Fieldhouse.
The two teams never really adjusted to the trio of officials who called the game close throughout and whistled 54 fouls.
But give WT credit.
Despite scoring 32 points below their season average, WT did get after things on the defensive end, forcing 30 turnovers with their man-to-man pressure defense.
The Lady Bulldogs, considered one of top Lone Star Conference North Division teams, never found a rhythm in their post-oriented offense. Southwestern attempted just 44 shots and added to its woes by shooting only 14-of-30 from the free-throw line.
WT 19-year coach Bob Schneider was pleased to see his team run its record to 3-0.
"I thought our defense was the big key," Schneider said. "Had we not played better defense, it might have been a different story."
But the 28 personal fouls and 28 turnovers by his team were not a pleasing sight.
"Neither team was able to find a groove on offense," Schneider said. "For us, we did too much standing around. It was physical, but we never really got anything going. They let you play real rough under the basket and then maybe a touch foul out front.
"Still, I thought we fouled way too much and had way too many turnovers. And a lot of those turnovers were unforced."
WT did make the key run of the game, quickly following Southwestern's lone bid to make a game of it early in the second half.
The Lady Buffs led by as many as 12 points in the low-scoring opening half before settling for a 24-16 lead at intermission.
But 3 1/2 minutes into the second half, thanks to seven points over 91 seconds from Southwestern post Kirl Neptune, the Lady Buffs' lead was down to 28-25.
The Lady Buffs were up to the challenge, producing their best five minutes of basketball. Junior wing Valeree Valdez started WT on a 10-1 run by canning one of her two 3-pointers in the game for a 31-25 lead with 16:11 to play.
Then Tamica Talley beat Southwestern for a fast-break basket. That hustle play was followed by post Brandi Green's basket after an offensive rebound, then Valdez closed the 10-1 run with another 3-pointer for a 38-26 lead with 13:49 to play.
WT held the double-digit lead throughout the final 13 minutes and led by as many as 16 points.
"That was a good run for us," Schneider said.
Despite foul trouble, WT post Latraica Spencer led the Lady Buffs in scoring for the third consecutive game with 15 points. Spencer, who scored 70 points in WT's previous two victories, struggled from the line, making five of 12 free throws, but she added eight rebounds.
Talley scored 14 points, Valdez added 12, and Green had a team-high 12 rebounds to go with five points.
Southwestern was led in scoring by post players Kiki McClellan and Neptune. McClellan produced a game-high 16 points and 18 rebounds, while Neptune added 10 points.
Schneider, with eight healthy players on his roster, said a lesson was learned Friday night.
"You have to make adjustments not only to your opponent, but to officiating," Schneider said. "If they are going to call a touch (foul), for Pete's sake don't do it twice more."
WT will return to action next Wednesday against Ouachita Baptist at Arkadelphia, Ark.

How to confiure the GUI.
This answers how to configure the GUI when an installation or an upgrade
does not show the GUI correctly. It will asume an installed system that
(as far as you know) works perfectly.
You will need root priveliges (know the root password) and the technical
settings of your screen, so get that manual. If you don't have the
manual, look it up. You are able tro post, so you have Internet
First do [CTRL][ALT][F1] to go to textmode. Don't be afraid, it is
nothing scary. As user type `root` and type your password for root.
Next type `init 3`. This will bring you to 100% textmode.
Now run the command `sax2` and you should be able to configure your
If you do not find your screen and/or do not know your settings, start
with the lowest ones and build your way up.
When you have set up your screen and tested it, you just run the
following command `init 5 && exit`. That will start up the GUI and if
OK, log you out as root.
If you still can't run the GUI but can run sax2 and the test at the end
of sax2, it ain't a standard X issue.
It can also be possible that sax2 does not work. Then you do `man sax2`
and read it. Realy read it, because there will be a quiz later.
Some ways to run SaX2 if the above does not work:
`sax2 -b /usr/share/sax/profile/SomeProfil`
Mainly for dual screen situations where the dual screen is not
`sax2 -l` (Lowercase L not number one)
For the lower resolution to be default. This can be usefull with
newer screens that are not standard and did not bother to tell
your software about the size it can handle
`sax2 --vesa 0:1024x768@60`
Run screen 0 (the first screen, 1 is the second) in resolution
1024x768 at 60 Hz. Should be OK for most if not all LCD screens.
Run the above and configure your screen(s). If it still ain't working,
re-read the `sax2 man` page and try some of the other settings.
If it does work, do `init 5 && exit`.
Still problems? You can manualy configure it as well. Take a lot more
information, so get back and tell us what you have done, your videocard
and screen information, together with your SUSE version and wether or
not it used to run before and if you have done an update of your system
and if so, how.
Aditional information might be needed as well.
It's people. Source code is made out of people! They're making our
source out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle
for code. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!

Candy Apple takes the Cake
As bacon has done for cooking, cake has done for baking – it just makes everything better. You can cake batter just about anything – cookies, ice cream, even cake batter cake. Apples are nature's dessert. We've cinnamon-shelled, caramel-dipped and candy-barred them to turn an apple a day into an extra special treat. Now, we let them eat cake.
Introducing the Cake Batter Candy Apple
For two medium-sized apples: Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Mix in 2 tablespoons of Funfetti cake mix. Roll apples in melted chocolate then dip the top in extra sprinkles. Let cool and harden. Slice, bite and enjoy!

If your aim is good performance, then try Linux first. It may seem at
first sight that a small operating system has less overhead, but this
is far from the truth.
MINIX is a microkernel operating system, which means that many tasks
traditionally performed by the kernel are done by other processes. This
allows for the creation of a modular and reliable operating system.
As a trade-off to these advantages, there are also some disadvantages.
A microkernel is slower than a monolithic operating system since it has
to perform more task switches, which are costly operations.
MINIX is also small because of its educational aim many fewer man-hours
are available for MINIX development than for Linux development. This
means that MINIX takes up little disk space and can be compiled and
booted very quickly.
As a small operating system, MINIX has fewer features than its
competitors. For example, its hardware support is very limited and
memory management is inefficient. Moreover, it does not support
floating point math, which will probably slow down your rending program
by a factor 10-20.
As a result, I would recommend against using MINIX for this purpose.
The result would be slower than a similar solution using another
operating system, like Linux, BSD or Windows.
With kind regards,
Erik van der Kouwe


text: Washington Arboretum New Trail For Washington Park Arboretum To Mitigate SR-520 Construction By Bellamy Pailthorp • Apr 25, 2016 courtesy Arboretum Foundation After multiple full-weekend closures for final work rerouting and restriping, the new 520 bridge across Lake Washington should improve traffic flows. Another side effect of the new construction will be better access to parts of one of Seattle's most loved parks. The Washington Park Arboretum that borders on the Seattle side of the bridge is losing nearly five acres of land to the wider bridge and staging work as it has been built. But it's also getting millions of dollars in mitigation funding. Why Trees Blow Up When Hit By Lightning And Where To Be If It Strikes Near You By Bellamy Pailthorp • Jun 26, 2015 Philo Nordlund / Flickr Listen Listening... / 5:24 If you live in the Pacific Northwest, a scary lightning strike isn't very likely. But there was one recently in Seattle's Arboretum that could be a case study in a text book. "The lightning bolt went right down the moist center of the tree, blew the tree out and so it just spread apart," Mass said. He says in this case, the lightning hit just right and heated up the moisture at the core of the tree, causing steam to form and blast it into pieces. "Pieces of that tree were sent off as projectiles, hundreds of feet away," and embedded themselves deeply into the ground because of the force of the blow. "It was amazingly dangerous," Mass said. "And there's been explosive trees around here before; this is not the first incident. But it's probably the most dramatic I've ever seen," he said. He says he's never seen anything like it, at least not in nature. "It looked like one of those onions you get at Safeco Field," he said. In this week's episode Mass explains why lightning strikes are relatively rare here, why the recent one near the Arboretum visitor center was so forceful and how to position yourself on the off chance that you do get caught in a lightning strike. Highway 520 design in federal court on Tuesday By Bellamy Pailthorp • Jul 9, 2012 WSDOT image Even as its construction is well underway, design plans for the new 520 bridge across Lake Washington continue to spark controversy. A federal judge will hear oral arguments tomorrow in a lawsuit against the replacement project by the State Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. Valuable trees attacked in Seattle arboretum By The Associated Press • May 6, 2012 Authorities say vandals have destroyed eight recently planted trees in Seattle's Washington Park Arboretum. How to mitigate the impact of a new 520 bridge on the Arboretum? By Bellamy Pailthorp • May 25, 2011 urbanvillages.com Listen Listening... / Unless a lawsuit derails the process, a new 520 bridge will soon be built across Lake Washington. A company in Aberdeen is already constructing the huge pontoons that will keep the new, 6-lane structure afloat. And the state is widening the highway on the east side of the lake. But exactly what the project will look like on the Seattle side is still being worked out. Seattle's Board of Park Commissioners will get a briefing on impacts to the Washington Park Arboretum tomorrow night (Thursday).

Voters wanting to know exactly what races they will be voting on have had a tough time in the past, but those days may be over - at least for South Carolina voters with access to the Internet.
Find your sample ballot
To see sample ballots for the June 10 primaries, go to scvotes.org and click on the "Voters" tab on the left and choose "Check Your Voter Registration."
After entering your county, name and birthday, a screen will appear and you can click the "View Sample Ballot" tab on the bottom right.
REMINDER: Saturday is the last day to register to vote in the upcoming June 10 primaries.
The State Election Commission has come up with a way for voters to see a sample of the exact ballot they will see on Election Day.
For a video primer and interactive calendar for the 2014 state primary elections season, go to postandcourier.com/primary-calendar.
Before, county election offices and newspapers could not produce such ballots. Depending on a voter's address and the number of contested legislative races, each county prepared dozens - even more than 100 - different ballots.
But a new website can help voters sift through that, and it was unveiled this week. Voters simply must key in their county, name and birth date -and then select either the Republican or Democratic ballot for the June 10 primary.
In the past, election officials have had to look up a voter's registration and manually pair them with the correct ballot, a time-consuming process, said Charleston County Board of Elections and voter Registration director Joe Debney.
"This will be extremely helpful for voters," he said of the change. "We receive requests from voters and the media for this during each major election. This allows a voter to see exactly which ballot they should receive when they walk up to the voting booth."

CHOICES: 1. Saada. 2. Run With Angels. 3. Dot's Imp.
FORTUS FORECAST: Saada, who finished fourth at this level on turf in his return from a layoff, likely will improve on dirt. Run With Angels, who is 1-for-16 after finishing a non-threatening fourth in a Delta Downs allowance race 11 days ago, drops to his lowest level. Dot's Imp, who hasn't raced since being edged against $15,000 non-winners-of-two three months ago, has been working steadily.
CHOICES: 1. Splendid Appeal. 2. Atlantic Rider. 3. Morality.
FORTUS FORECAST: Splendid Appeal, who finished in mid-pack against slightly tougher opposition in his second start, is as good a pick as any in a shaky group. Atlantic Rider, cutting back in distance and dropping to his lowest level, is a threat from off the pace. Morality is a first-timer to consider.
CHOICES: 1. Giant Shamrock. 2. Alligator Bayou. 3. Ideseeyouinhouston.
FORTUS FORECAST: Giant Shamrock, who was a $650 yearling purchase in 2006, has been working well for his debut, and the fact that's he's not in a maiden claiming race is a positive sign. Alligator Bayou improved to finish third in his second start and can win with more improvement. Ideseeyouinhouston is a money-making maiden, having earned more than $60,000 despite losing 26 races.
CHOICES: 1. Oriented Lady. 2. Jane's Baby. 3. Positive Cat.
FORTUS FORECAST: Oriented Lady, who finished in the money against higher-priced non-winners-of-two in her last three starts, might have found the right level. Jane's Baby finished second at this level and distance and was claimed three weeks ago. Positive Cat will be running late.
CHOICES: 1. Southern Soprano. 2. Nevada Erlton. 3. Cheaperthansandee.
FORTUS FORECAST: Southern Soprano, who finished second at this level and was claimed in his second start after a layoff, shows a solid workout since then. Nevada Erlton drops to his lowest level in his third start since March. Cheaperthansandee might be sharper in his second start after a long layoff.
CHOICES: 1. Doc's Delight. 2. Queen of the Ridge. 3. Sarah Almighty.
FORTUS FORECAST: Doc's Delight, who has been facing tougher opposition on turf, faces claimers for the first time. Queen of the Ridge appears better suited to shorter races, but a sharp drop in claiming price makes her a threat. Sarah Almighty made a solid late run to finish a close third at this level in a mile race on turf in her return from a layoff.
CHOICES: 1. Holiday Cruise. 2. White Slippers. 3. Trusty.
FORTUS FORECAST: Holiday Cruise, who hasn't raced since August, has been working well and appears well placed against $30,000 non-winners-of-three. White Slippers hasn't raced since edging non-winners-of-two at this claiming price in mid-November at Churchill Downs. Trusty, who is 2-for-2, overpowered $30,000 non-winners-of-two in her first start since being claimed for $15,000 in her debut.
CHOICES: 1. Goaltogoal. 2. Catch the Luck. 3. Klassi Berti.
FORTUS FORECAST: Goaltogoal, stretching out in his return from a layoff, is bred to handle two turns and might get a favorable trip close to the pace in a field without much early speed. Catch the Luck, who finished third against similar horses on turf in his last start, might improve with blinkers. Klassi Berti, who was outrun on turf in his last two starts, finished third in a one-turn mile race at Churchill Downs the last time he raced on dirt.
CHOICES: 1. Smarty Time. 2. Fleet Streak. 3. Day Trippi.
FORTUS FORECAST: Smarty Time, a first-timer with a solid workout pattern, is as good a pick as any in a wide-open sprint for maidens on turf. Fleet Streak, whose pedigree suggests that she'll handle turf, is another first-timer to consider. So is Day Trippi.
CHOICES: 1. Two Steppin' Tango. 2. Our Sassy Ten. 3. Betty's Champ.
FORTUS FORECAST: Two Steppin' Tango has been working well for her debut and faces $50,000 maidens -- a positive sign for a filly who was a $30,000 yearling purchase. Our Sassy Ten is another first-timer with a solid workout pattern. Betty's Champ drops to claiming company in her fourth start.
Friday's best play: Holiday Cruise (seventh race).
Friday's long shot special: Two Steppin' Tango (10th race).

Growing up a fan of the James Bond movie franchise, I've always been drawn by the intrigue of his little gadgets more so than the complexity of cold war espionage. He always had technology that was exotic and beyond the reach of average consumers. You can't exactly go down to your local car dealer and pick out an amphibious car today but the more practical technologies that were showcased in old Bond movies have eventually become part of our daily lives. In fact, in one of the latest Bond movies, the most high-tech gadget he had was a cellphone. Practical science fiction eventually becomes science fact and complex machines are simplified down to be maximally minimal.
Take a look at storage technology through the years, for example, back when computer systems took up entire rooms and the process of moving hard drives from one area to the next required wheels and a hernia truss. After 40 years, hard drives are able to store a lot more for a lot less space and at a much affordable price. Hard disk drive technology, however, has reached a point where the original design can only be improved upon so much, and for major gains in storage performance to happen, a different method of data storage is needed. With no moving parts and ultra-fast access times, Solid State drive technology is the solution that leap frogs over traditional platter drives and are increasingly becoming much more affordable for the mainstream market.
The Corsair Force 3 60GB drive is a 3rd generation SSD that offers high performance for a relatively low price. The Corsair Force 3 60GB SSD is equipped with a 2nd generation Sandforce SF-2281 controller paired with Asynchronous NAND technology, allowing it to reach 550 MB/s sequential read and 490 MB/s sequential write speeds. The Corsair Force 3 series of SSDs also come in 90GB, 120GB, 180GB, 240GB and 480GB configurations, depending on the user's budget and needs. These Force 3 SSDs are designed for performance and reliability, operating on SATA 3 6Gb/s transfer rates, and are Windows 7 TRIM capable.

"Shop Small Business Saturday" this weekend
By Lisa Soileaux, Assistant Editor, Rayne Acadian-Tribune
The Rayne Chamber of Commerce is supporting locally owned small businesses this Saturday by encouraging local citizens to "Shop Small" on Small Business Saturday. Shoppers can visit locally owned retailers & businesses this Saturday, November 30, to show their loyalty & commitment to small businesses in Rayne. The Chamber urges local citizens to spread the word to help make Small Business Saturday successful in throughout the community.
The Rayne Chamber of Commerce consists of mostly small businesses. We think a promotion like Small Business Saturday is a great way to kick-off the Holiday Shopping Season! This is a great way for patrons to show their support to the small businesses that make Rayne and Acadia Parish so special.
Small Business Saturday or "Shop Small" is an initiative created by American Express in 2010 to spotlight locally owned merchants during the busiest shopping time of the year, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This campaign is geared to help generate support for locally owned businesses in communities and to keep them thriving.

(55% cabernet sauvignon, 35% cabernet franc and 10% merlot) Saturated ruby. Highly nuanced nose offers dark raspberry, violet, bitter chocolate, mocha, smoke and tobacco, along with a whiff of bell pepper. Sweet, lush and densely packed, with lovely finesse of texture. The flavors of currant, fresh herbs and chocolate began a bit reticent but gained in sweetness as the wine opened in the glass. Finishes youthful and sweet, with very suave tannins. I would not be at all surprised if this sophisticated blend merited a higher rating five years down the road.

Sojourner Truth Ministries hosted its first Health Fair on Sept. 14.
Available at the event were free screenings for blood pressure and blood sugar and vaccines for the flu.
Also, a number of representatives from local health care organizations brought information to share, and the Williamsport Bureau of Fire displayed one of its ladder trucks.

Pastor Christine Carroll, of Well Woman International Ministries, has her blood pressurechecked by Nicholas Calder, a third-year medical student at Commonwealth Medical College, during a health fair Saturday at Sojourner Truth Ministries in the city.
A number of people who came in for the daily lunch provided at Sojourner Truth, 501 High St., had the chance to talk to health providers at the fair.
"We have a lot of people who come here who don't have insurance, and a lot of people who have health insurance and don't even use it," said Pastor Christine Carroll, who coordinated the event. "We're hoping people can find out some information that's very vital to their health."
Sheina Theodore, a third-year medical student at Commonwealth Medical College, was testing people for diabetes and handing out free glucose-monitoring kits.
"We've seen a lot of patients who we see in the office come through the health fair," Theodore said. "We've done about 30 tests today."
Jan Todd, outreach coordinator for Susquehanna Community Health Center, was there to help people figure out where they stand when Obamacare is implemented.
"Oct. 1 open enrollment starts," Todd said. "It's time to get on it."
Carroll hopes the event is only the first of its kind at Sojourner Truth, and she and the Rev. Velinda Webb-Smith, Sojourner's director, want to bring in a nutritionist to show people how to fix healthy meals.
"Diabetes and hypertension lead to a vast number of other difficulties," Carroll said. "Early detection is very important."

Millions of Americans across the mid-Atlantic are digging themselves out from under this weekend's epic storm.
With many areas buried under three feet of snow, residents say they have to work together to clean up.
"You've got to do it together or you're done. One person can't do it," Mayfair, Pa. resident Nancy Kelly said.
Meanwhile, travel is out of the question.
Amtrak railway service is at a stand still and several airports remain closed.
Even the federal government in Washington, D.C. has been completely shut down.
Power Outages
Hundreds of thousands throughout the mid-Atlantic are still without power.
"From 3 o'clock yesterday until now we haven't had any lights, any heat, so we haven't been to bed," Arlington, Va. resident Pauline Ellison said.
Many families are having to find other places to stay.
"As you can tell right now it's somewhere in the 40 degree range in the house, so with three little kids, it just made sense to get a hotel and be safe," Arlington resident Michael Stanton said.
While the blizzard has caused headaches for millions, there are many who are trying to make the best of it. People engaged in every activity from sledding to building snowmen to a giant snowball fight in Baltimore.
However it appears Washington won't be getting a break from the white stuff.
The National Weather Service has issued a storm watch for the area Tuesday. Weather officials are predicting the region may get another five inches of snow.

It's been two months since the Yankees found out about Alex Rodriguez' hip, and on Wednesday, the third baseman will finally have his surgery. After 27 awful-looking Postseason plate appearances, it's no surprise that Rodriguez had a significant injury. It wasn't until being benched by Joe Girardi in Game three of the ALDS, that the slugger admitted to his manager that his hip had been bothering him, and that he wasn't "firing on all cylinders." Cashman would later say that one benefit of the hip ordeal was that it brought peace of mind to Rodriguez, who had worries about his October performance.

It's not bluegrass, although the instrumentation is acoustic-based and there's a banjo in the mix. It's not indie rock either, even if the music is creatively homegrown, free-spirited and full of verve.
It's simply the O's, the Dallas duo of Taylor Young and John Pedigo, who turn a banjo, a guitar, a kick drum and a few other noisemakers into pop songs dressed as Americana tunes.
The musical duality gives 29-year-old Young and 32-year-old Pedigo, who united in 2008 as the O's, a liberal amount of artistic leeway.
"We could take these songs and make them rock songs if we had a four-piece band," Young says from the coffee shop inside Half Price Books on Northwest Highway. "We can make them dance songs if we had a bunch of keyboards. They are just solid, three-and-a-half minute songs. It's how we approach it that makes us different from a bluegrass band or different from a lot of other bands."
That approach expands their reach. Young and Pedigo, both Dallas natives, write immediate, hooky tracks to rope in the pop audience. They play real instruments organically with a front-porch vibe to attract a country and bluegrass crowd. They're a tight, self-contained unit responsible for the sound, the CD and merchandising artwork, and the business side of the entity. That gives them independent-music credentials.
"We kind of bridge the gaps, so to speak, with what we're doing," Pedigo says. "We're lucky in that sense."
Young adds: "It depends on where the person that is listening is coming from, and the music that they like. Somebody that likes country music is going to latch onto the country aspect of our band. Somebody that likes indie rock music is going to take that approach in listening to us. It's in the ear of the listener about how they are going to read us."
The second O's CD, Between the Two, just released on Dallas-based Idol Records, solidifies not only the distinctive style of the pair but also the serious intent.
Young and Pedigo are entrenched in the Dallas-Fort Worth music scene. They've been in a slew of bands, past and present, including Polyphonic Spree and Boys Named Sue. But with Between the Two, an accomplished, focused follow-up to 2009's debut disc, We Are the O's, these guys prove this is no mere side project.
"The first album I had a banjo for like three months, basically, and then we recorded," Pedigo says. "We just jumped into it. We set a deadline and we had to learn what we were doing or else we were going to look like idiots. This time around it's what we've been heading toward. This is exactly what we wanted to do. We played every instrument on the album. We didn't need a band."
There's strength in such a small number. Young and Pedigo spend six months touring Texas as well as key markets such as Boston, New York, Chicago, Nebraska and Los Angeles. They're hits in the United Kingdom, France and Australia. So when it's time to go, they're compact travelers.
"We've made it so that we can get on a plane with every single thing we need except for a keyboard stand and a bass drum," Young says. "Those are the only two things that we need. We have every single thing else that we need when we land in a city."
No muss, no fuss. That simplicity has earned national attention from Alternative Press, which named the O's one of the top bands to know in 2009. Dallas, however, remains home base and the nourishing well that feeds Young and Pedigo.
"We do have a support group here and people are hoping that we succeed," Pedigo says. "They'll come see us play and I know they want it to happen. So we are going to do everything we can do to succeed."
Plan your life
The O's perform at 8 Tuesday at Good Records, 1808 Greenville Ave., Dallas. Free. www.goodrecords.com.
Also, Friday at 11:35 p.m. at Club Dada, 2720 Elm St., Dallas. $10. dadadallas.com.

Best Time to Fly to Manila
Enlarge terminal map
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) is about 4.3 miles (7km) south of Manila, the cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines, and is a major gateway to the country. It serves as a hub for all Philippine airlines and is one of the 50 busiest airports in the world, serving 27 million passengers each year. Flights to Ninoy Aquino International Airport arrive from major hubs in Asia and the Pacific region, as well as a handful of cities a little further afield such as Amsterdam, Detroit and Dubai.
If you're catching one of the many international flights to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, chances are you'll go through the old Terminal 1, widely regarded as one of the worst terminals in Asia. It generally operates way over capacity, especially in peak season – so make sure you factor in lots of time. There are plans to shift more international flights to the sleek new Terminal 3, although so far, this has been hampered by red tape.
Overall, this airport is a little chaotic and can be confusing to navigate, but with a healthy dose of patience, you'll get through it to your vacation in the Philippines without too much trouble.
Back to top
Back to top
Train: The Metro-Rail Transit station at Baclaran is 3 miles (5km) from the airport, and trains run regularly between 5am and 10pm. There is an airport shuttle that operates between the Terminal 3 and the station for PHP 20 (about £0.30), or you can take a taxi or jeepney.
Taxi: Yellow taxi cabs leave from the stands outside each terminal. They charge a flat rate of PHP 70 (£1) in addition to a fee of PHP 4 per 250m. Coupon taxis, with desks in the terminals, charge a flat rate depending on the destination and are often cheaper.
Bus: There is an airport bus service that travels to the city center every 15 minutes or so for about PHP 50 (about £0.70). There's also a city bus service that leaves from outside the arrivals areas of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Money and communications: Banks, ATMs and currency exchange in all terminals.
Luggage: There are luggage carts and a free porter service in the arrivals and departures areas – note that NAIA has a "no tipping" policy. Anything lost in the terminal buildings will make its way to the Investigation Division (IID) in Terminal 1.
Conference and business: There are a few passenger and VIP lounges in Terminal 2 and Terminal 1 with free Internet, newspapers, snacks and TV.
Other facilities: Catholic and Muslim prayer rooms, baby changing and infant facilities, children's play room in Terminal 1 and Terminal 4, 24-hour clinics in Terminals 1 and 3, post offices in Terminals 1 and 2.
Wi-Fi: There is free Wi-Fi in the VIP lounges in Terminal 2 and Terminal 1, but you'll have to pay to get in.
Shopping: There are the usual gift and souvenir stands, jewelry stores and newsagents at Ninoy Aquino International, most of which are in Terminal 2. If you're a smoker, pick up some fine cigars in the tobacco stores, also in Terminal 2. There are also duty-free shops stocking a selection of jewelry, fashion, accessories, tobacco products and electronics in Terminals 1, 2 and 3.
Food and drink: There are loads of fast-food joints, snack bars and coffee shops throughout the terminals and even a few in the car parks, so if you're just after a quick bite, you won't need to go far. If you're looking for a sit-down meal, head for the large food courts in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.

Reading some of these responses makes me glad Kenny is the GM and not the members of this forum.
Malts in GR = a great mentor for our PROSPECTS
Malts on the Detroit bench during the playoffs = added depth, experienced leadership, and another PKer.
so to those of you complaining about the deal, please understand Kenny is better than you. That is all.

MICHIGAN CENTER, MI – Teachers will get step increases or raises for the next three years as long as the Michigan Center School District maintains at least a 17 percent fund balance, according to a new deal inked this month.
The district's school board approved the deal with the Michigan Center Education Association teachers union during a special meeting Tuesday, Dec. 3.
In the contract, teachers will move up a step on the district's salary scale each year for three years, while those already at the top of the scale will receive a 1 percent raise each year.
"We are not giving raises just to give raises," said Board President Jerry Holda. "This is because of the good work our teachers are doing and the support the board wants to provide to keep making that happen."
But, if the district's annual audit shows the fund balance has dropped below 17 percent any year during this contract, wages will be frozen.
"Both sides made concessions," said Jared Tylutki, U.S. history teacher and MCEA vice president. "This gives the district stability with its fund balance, which will lead to long-term stability for the district and create an environment that will attract students. It also keeps morale up in the teaching staff."
To help make this deal possible, the board suspended its policy of keeping its fund balance at 20 percent of expenses, Superintendent Scott Koziol said.
The district's 2013-14 budget, which went into effect July 1, puts the district's fund equity at 19 percent, due to added expenditures that include a new boiler and safety improvements on the Keicher Elementary School playground, Koziol said.
"We have a lot of good young teachers," said Mike Bruner, elementary school teacher and MCEA president. "This deal will help retain those teachers."
Monthly budget updates at board meetings will keep both sides informed on district finances. And board officers have agreed to monthly meetings with the union to keep the lines of communication open, said Debra Kruse, board secretary.
