COLUMBIA -- Stephen Garcia didn't have to look over his shoulder last year. The job as South Carolina quarterback was all his.
Now, though, it's as if the coaching staff is putting a mirror in front of him, just so Garcia knows where freshman Connor Shaw is in relation to his heels.
In other words, don't be surprised if Steve Spurrier is back to a two-quarterback rotation by the time the season arrives.
"We will have two ready to play next year. We will have two ready to play," Spurrier said, without being specifically asked about a platoon. "We will play two -- if the first guy doesn't play the way the coaches ask him to play.
"If it's left guard or safety, or wherever, you've got to demand your players play the way we coach them to play."
Even if Garcia didn't execute well a year ago, there simply wasn't enough confidence in redshirt freshman Reid McCollum.
But there already seems to be a different feeling about Shaw, the even-keeled workaholic who just arrived in January.
Shaw has been through a total of five practices, including Saturday's scrimmage inside Williams-Brice Stadium -- the first of three spring scrimmages, including the April 10 Garnet and Black Game.
Spurrier, the 1966 Heisman-winning QB at Florida, has already seen enough to know Shaw can play.
"Connor, he can throw on the run, can throw in the pocket," Spurrier said. "He's a natural passer, he really is."
Shaw was 8-for-13 for 110 yards Saturday, with a 25-yard touchdown to Dion LeCorn. Late in the day, D.L. Moore dropped what would've been a 30-yard touchdown from Shaw.
"That was as good of a post route as we'd thrown in a long time around here," Spurrier said of the pass, which dropped in, in the end zone, over two defensive backs.
At 6-feet tall -- not exactly the prototypical quarterback height -- Shaw says he's had to learn how to run, too. He's adapted to the position. He's a natural fit for the modified read-option package that offensive line coach Shawn Elliott brought with him from Appalachian State.
Praise from the Ball Coach aside, it's still Garcia's gig.
He was 6-for-15 for 88 yards and a touchdown Saturday. He had one interception, deflected at the line into the arms of JUCO linebacker Qua Gilchrist. (Gilchrist, whom the coaches are looking toward to help replace Eric Norwood, returned it for a score).
In reality, Spurrier doesn't want Shaw to play as a freshman. He'd rather Garcia, a fourth-year junior, be the man under center.
But he wants Garcia to know he's got company for the spot.
"We've been trying to push Stephen ever since he's been here," Spurrier said. "We're still trying to push him."
Garcia's settling in as a veteran leader on an experienced team. A lot of SEC fans are surprised to learn he led the league in total offense this past season (in SEC games).
"I feel like a veteran, but I've still got two years left," Garcia said. "I've been here four years now. It's about time that I figure it out."
Garcia threw for 2,862 yards and 17 TDs (10 interceptions) last season in his first year as the unquestioned starter.
Shaw -- the brother of a college quarterback (Georgia Southern's Jaybo) and son of a high school football coach -- enters the scene with the look of a ballplayer.
Upon arrival, Spurrier called Shaw a "football junkie."
After a shaky first practice on a cold afternoon earlier in the month, Shaw said the jitters were gone by this past week.
"This is why I came in (early)," Shaw said. "I wanted to get this spring experience. My goal is just to compete.
"I feel like all the quarterbacks have a chance during the spring to prove themselves. That's my goal."
Scrimmage highlights
--Sophomore Jarvis Giles broke off an early 50-yard run and led all backs with 82 yards and a score. Giles needed to bulk up in the off-season, Spurrier had said. He weighs a sturdier 189 now and wants to get to 195.
--LeCorn finally looks healthy again, just shy of a year since he broke his leg in the 2009 spring game. Receivers coach Steve Spurrier Jr. has said LeCorn is easily his best and toughest blocker.
--T.J. Johnson, transitioning from guard to center, had a poor first snap of the day but settled in thereafter. Spurrier said he's improving as he learns.
--Spurrier was high on a pair of Lowcountry receivers, former walk-on Stephen Flint (Wando) and walk-on Kevin White (Fort Dorchester). Flint caught a pair of passes, including a nifty sideline grab, for 31 yards. White's only catch was a 10-yard TD.
--The Gamecocks went no-huddle several times Saturday, and they have in some of their early practices, as well. Spurrier said much of that philosophy is courtesy Elliott, who ran it some at App State.

(Photo courtesy PR Best Boxing Promotions/Joel Colon) Puerto Rican Jose "Chelo" Gonzalez and World Boxing Organization (WBO) lightweight champion Scottish Ricky Burns, were face to face today during the final press conference for their title clash this Saturday, May 11, at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, Scotland, in a Matchroom Boxing presentation.
The #1 ranked in the lightweights, Gonzalez (22-0, 17 KOs), and the champion Burns (35-2, 10 KOs), featured the press conference held at the Emirates Arena, lead by promoter Eddie Hearn, of Matchroom Boxing.
"I want to thank God for having me here, and I want to thank the people from Glasgow and Ricky Burns for this chance. I respect a lot Ricky Burns, he is a good champion", Gonzalez said. "But I'm here to do my job in the ring, that's for I'm here".
Meanwhile, Burns a former 130 pounds WBO champion who will make his third defense of the lightweight belt, said that "we are trained for Jose Gonzalez, a hard puncher. We are focused in this fight for my fans here in Glasgow, and then on my way to bigger fights".
The official weigh in for the Gonzalez-Burns fight will be on Friday, May 10, at the St Enoch Centre, open to the public.

Skip to comments.White House Insider: Clintons, Scandals, and the Birth Certificate..
Posted on 11/09/2010 2:58:49 PM PST by maggief
One last question. Make it quick please.
Who is the next to leave the White House? You correctly predicted Summers and Emanuel before anyone else. Can you give me another prediction on who the next administration figure who is on the way out? Sure but there is going to be a whole rash of departures coming up you know. Top to bottom.
Can you give me a big name somebody important who is leaving? You testing me?
Maybe just seeing if you are still getting good information. Oh I see. Im only as good as my last success, is that it?
Sure something like that. Gibbs.
Gibbs? Yeah the fat -expletive- Gibbs is gone. And good riddance.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsflavor.com ...
"Insider" ping!
Howard Dean is going to be the stalking horse for Clinton's Presidential bid (what the insider calls the "ice breaker").
Please add me to the ping list. THANKS!
Why do I feel this person is trying to set us up compliments of Soros?
Gotta admit...it's interesting reason. If Gibbs does go it will make 3 for 3 here.
Hillary in the race is a win/win for our side.
Just by running she weakens Baraq.
If she wins the nom, minority turnout will be weak.
Run Hillary Run!
Don't know how reliable these "insider" reports are. But, I love reading them. They certainly sound plausible.
Thanks for the ping.
Please add me to the ping list!
Try reading the 'insider' comments with your best Bob Beckel voice.
Meh. If the writer cobbles enough info from various places (including here) what he's "predicted" was previously written. Gibbs was rumored months ago. A fun read anyways....
Uh, where do you guys get your info? Fact: Onada has never ever been vetted by the demrat Party nor has he ever produced a credible country of birth document. Let me say that again—never ever has he produced a credible country of birth document.
Of course, why don't you share it with the rest of us if yu've seen one. This is normally the point at which a deafening silence descends on the discussion.
If Gibbs is the next to announce departure, this "insider" blog is going to get LOTS OF EYES from lots of places.
He has covered up his past. Beyond his books ... there really is very little we know about the guy. The one most responsible for all of these conspiracy stories is Barack Obama. When you have White House staff people who were involved in the day to day decisions coming out of the West Wing saying they have no clue who Obama really is, that shows an environment that is going to create a lot of this conspiracy stuff surrounding the president.
I think I remember seeing somewhere that Gibbs was leaving for a promotion. But I don't recall any of the details.
Reuters Pictures 1 day ago White House press secretary Robert Gibbs (R) argues with an official from the Indian Prime Minister's office after the travelling White House press pool were initially refused entry to the bilateral meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at Hyderabad House in New Delhi, November 8, 2010. White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson (C) looks on.
You are 3 years behind the curve, newbie.
Welcome to FRee Republic.
I find it disturbing how much dancing they do around "birther" issues. Two years in, and nobody really knows who they elected to the Presidency??
We sure as hell are in trouble! I'm betting CIA knows for certain...
On the other hand, this pending White House scandal business is getting tedious. All we have are a bunch of allusions to something that is simmering just under the surface, that both the NYT and the Chicago Post apparently know all about, but still we have absolutely nothing to base any of this stuff on. It could be anything; and there has already been plenty of wild speculation.
As for Gibbs being the next to go, that has been talked about for quite some time now, and really isn't a surprise to anyone. He's lasted about as long as any Press Secretary has, so "the insider" isn't telling anyone anything new with that.
The longer this soap opera goes on the more skeptical I get about the whole thing....
Same here. Fun, but...
Ah well. Back to work!
Please add me to the PING list. Thanks.
Nope, if the CIA knew anything really damaging they would be getting an astonishing boost in funding to keep them quiet, which they aren't.
Add me to ping pls
wtf are you talking about?
I happen to believe he has birth docs in Hawaii that DO NOT prove he was born in Hawaii. My reasons have been VERY well documented over the last two years. I am also CERTAIN he isn't an NBC because his father was british and he was born with two different citizenships.
Anything else you wanna ask in that snide tone?
WAI WAI WAI behind the curve.
Ulster Man Readers of the White House Insider Series - thank you for comments and questions you send me each day. I do try and read them all. I don't think I would have had the courage to ask the "Birther" question in last interview w/o having received so much info. and input from some of you. Keep sending info./questions and I... may just use them in upcoming interviews.
See More
4 minutes ago
Thanks for posting maggief, these interviews are awesome. That being said, I will never hold my breath waiting on this guys predictions.
I will watch to see what happens to Peter Griffin-Gibbs and give credit should his fat ass get the boot.
please add me to your ping list
This series was sounding plausible until the birther issue was broached. This is starting to sound eerily similar to the quidam, "men in gray suits" and "Clinton is going to declare martial law to stop the election" bunk.
It's pretty obvious now this is a diversion. I'm done reading these.
Please add me to your Insider ping list.
Thanks LucyT
GQuagmire, you're added to The Ping List.
Yo Danae—Looks like I clicked on wrong post. Sorry. But am glad I'm not the only one asking the questions.
Most of the people I talk to about Onada's birth either don't care or simply deny there is an issue. No one can actually reference a document that proves The One's birth country.
God Bless and may The Force be with you.
I think he is possible. Who else in Dem circles, campaigns would think themself old?
I've posted links to articles on some previous threads that ulster points out corroborate things the insider is telling him. He has link to them on his facebook page.
also they were in WSJ not the ones you mentioned
I hate to sound like I'm shooting him down completely, because I am not. I've followed this from the start, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly who this could be.
My first impression was it sounded a lot like Greg Craig, but with time I'm thinking more along the lines of someone like Bob Beckel; and if that's who this is, there's a good shot this is all BS and a diversion, or just someone's sick game.
I do not mean I think that is probable, only possible. My BS filter is pretty fine but this one still has me stumped....
On the list as well please!
The "insider" says regarding the BC issue, "Its too dangerous to consider."
Personally, I think it's dangerous (to us) NOT to consider.
You have been added with the others.
Thanks, maggief! Having been on the inside myself years ago, I find this totally credible. Keep me updated! Personally, I look forward to the day that Obama is dragged by the Secret Service in handcuffs and physically removed from the White House permanently.
Give the guy a break!
It makes for interesting reading. Fiction perhaps, but fun to read and conjecture.
Count me in please.
Please add me. Thanks.

By Bad Man | Follow on Twitter
John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's 1977 policing super-fascist – Judge Dredd – has been a staple of the UK Comic's anthology diet for the guts of 35 years now and with the new DREDD movie starring Karl Urban as ole 'chin face' and a fresh cut deal with comics franchise giant IDW, he doesn't seem to be going anywhere for a time yet.
A much loved British character, Dredd ironically was an American, written and conceived by British creators envisioning a fascist future America that during the Regan era politics of the 80′s the US could neither fathom nor tolerate.
Dredd is described as: An American law enforcement officer in a violent city of the future where uniformed Judges combine the powers of police, judge, jury and executioner. Dredd and his fellow Judges are empowered to arrest, sentence, and even execute criminals on the spot.
He's not just a bastard. He's the 'ultimate bastard'! And everyone loves a bastard. So much in fact that he's been ripped off to varying degrees of success since his beginnings way back in the arse end of the 70′s.
On that note – below are the 5 most notable Dredd rips that you forgot ever existed. Perhaps the only Dredd rip-offs that you forgot ever existed. And if not DROKK YOU Wikipedia!
Anyway, here they are, so check them the Drokk out Creep! And see if you agree:
Justice Peace is a time hopping merc hired by The Time Variance Authority to become the leader of their Temporal Law Enforcement Department and (one of) Marvel's homage(s) to Judge Dredd. Originally an officer of the Federal Police in future USA's Brooklynopolis, Peace's timeline saw genetic encrypting at birth to keep crimes to a minimum. The character was created by Walt Simonson and debuted during his run on Thor (Vol #1 #373) and would go on to appear in Fantastic Four, Death-Lok and She-Hulk.
He notably packs a Peacemaker sidearm (the equivalent of Dredd's Lawgiver) and is a double hard bastard, so much so he once subdued Thor and killed Doctor Doom (well, a duplicate anyway). As far as Dredd rip-off's go he's not the worst. And did I mention he subdued Thor (HE'S A GOD!). What a guy!boss cage, dark avengers, demolition man, judge dredd, u.s. agent, warhammer 40k

Skip to comments.Judge: Ex-US Rep. (Willam 'Cold Ca$h') Jefferson won't get new trial
Posted on 09/21/2009 11:39:11 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON A federal judge has denied the request for a new trial by a former Louisiana congressman convicted on corruption charges.
U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III ruled against a motion by former Rep. William Jefferson on Friday in Alexandria, Va. Jefferson was convicted Aug. 5 on 11 of 16 federal counts for using his influence to broker business deals in Africa after federal agents found cash in his freezer.
A jury ruled Jefferson must forfeit roughly $470,000. He later filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
There better be prison time for that POS!
Court Ruling
We need to hear words like "30 years to life."
Holder's probably working on a pardon for Obama to sign!
Excellent! Willie Jeff is going to get free room and board for awhile.
So an FBI agent nailed somebody and THAT made you a thief??!! Well NOW it's clear to me.
Think 20 yrs - that's just a tick longer than he was a U.S. Congresscritter and would be most appropriate.
No mention of party in title, subtitle, first sentence, or first paragraph...therefore its a democrat.
If Obama goes down in 2012 look for select criminals such as Me. Jefferson to receive a pardon.
The list of his last minute pardons will be very interesting to behold.
Does he lose his Congressional pension?
He will rise through the ranks of the democrat party, now that he's qualified.
That should happen after his sentencing , knowing pelosi, who knows.
Not the whole story. A victim of Jefferson's shake down went to the FBI. They gave her $100,000 and said to go back and pay the bribe. The $90,000 found in the freezer was the FBI cash (serial numbers recorded.)
Cash in your freezer is suspicious. FBI cash in your freezer is an open and shut case.

A father who worked three jobs - including one as a part-time traffic reporter on KYW-1060 - was killed Saturday morning in Olney by a butcher-knife-wielding bicyclist, according to police and his family.
His attacker was then shot and killed by police after three Taser blasts failed to subdue him, said Lt. Ray Evers, police spokesman.
Charles Fricker, 52, who worked as an insurance salesman, disc jockey and as a part-time traffic reporter with KYW under the pseudonym Chuck Williams, was getting out of his car to visit insurance clients on 3rd Street near Somerville Avenue about 9:50 a.m. when he was approached by a man on a bicycle, according to police and his daughter, 26-year-old Amy Fricker.

Pink Banana Theatre wrestles with truth, Internet in 'Dark Play'
When we first meet Nick in Carlos Murillo's "Dark Play," now on stage at Pink Banana Theatre Company in a production that opened over the weekend, he's a blandly attractive, seemingly wholesome collegian — "pretty much indistinguishable," as he'll later tell us, "from any other college kid."
But there's more here than initially meets the eye, as we learn when the woman sharing Nick's dorm-room bed begins asking about the web of scars along his waistline. Does Nick tell Molly the truth about these now-healed wounds? Or should he do as he's always done and make "stuff" — Nick uses a different word — up? »Read Full Article(1)
Ralph Stanley's band carries the show for bluegrass legend
Although it has been reported that Ralph Stanley is on his farewell tour, the reports might be exaggerated or untrue.
Saturday night at the Pabst Theater, Ralph's grandson Nathan spoke for the bluegrass pioneer when he stated that if it is a farewell tour, it is one "with no end date." »Read Full Article

Linux4Afrika Integrates Sugar Desktop and WLAN
The Linux4Afrika development help project that is active in a number of east African countries has released the next verson of its software distribution. The donated used hardware will be expanded by new functionality.
The newest version of the Linux4Afrika terminal server solution will no longer require interested parties to buy from One Laptop per Child (OLPC) to test its Sugar learning interface. The GUI can be installed optionally and, after registration, started simply from the dropdown menu.
An extra built-in WLAN card expands the L4A server capability to a WLAN access point so that children with laptops or netbooks can have remote central access in the x2go network computing environment. The card costs about 20 Euros, provides Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) secure encryption and thereby reliable access to the server.
Linux4Afrika also provides numerous add-ons of diverse software packages and their configurations, including the X2gospyglass monitoring tool for teachers and the Squid proxy server. An individual host, such as the school principal's, can also access the x2go.org domain per WLAN.
Hans-Peter Merkel of the FreiOss.net initiative that is behind the project indicates, "The next to-dos are already set: we're working on an update from Lenny to Squeeze and want to make it possible for teachers to blank-screen individual students. Most interesting is the work on chipcard authentication for x2go, which might not so much interest students as larger organizations such as universities."
Linux4Afrika seeks donations and used computers in Europe to equip them with free software and provide African schools with Debian and x2go terminal server solutions. Only days ago a container left Germany for Kenya. More opportunities of bringing the project to schools may open up in Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi and other African countries.

Does medicine always taste bad in Germany?
I'm from the UK. I bought some over-the-counter cold medication in Germany recently. It tasted really bad, much worse than any UK meds I have had. Is this a cultural thing e.g " if it tastes bad, it's good for you"? [more inside]
Help me find published portraits of everyday folk in SF in the early 2000s
Between 2001 and 2004, I lived in the SF Bay Area and looked forward to a weekly column in a local paper (don't remember which - probably not SF Chronicle, but maybe a smaller publication?) which featured a profile of an interesting local "everyday folk" along with a pen-and-ink portrait. I especially loved the charming portraits. In particular, I remember one of a guy selling boiled crab at the Pier. Does anyone remember this? What was the name of the column, and who was the artist?
RIP Gawker, I need a new site to read
After purchasing the Gawker Media assets, Univision will be shutting Gawker (as in the site) down in the next week. I have enjoyed reading the news, political coverage, and the championing of progressive causes in Gawker's often cutting, but humorous tone. SO! Where to next? [more inside]

Help me sort out workplace culture time management issues

International MeFites: what are the Olympics like in your country?
The Olympic Games is large: it contains multitudes. From living in the UK and US, I'm aware of how differently it's presented: the BBC is a little bit nationalistic but mostly treats it as a glorious global sporting carnival; NBC makes it a soft-focus rah-rah-USA reality show with lots of commercials. But how does it come across in other countries? [more inside]

What's the general best-practices word for "cultural inclusion"? This would be for a mental-health center consisting of both professional providers and peer support, and we want to get across the idea that we are respectful of cultural diversity and also aware that we may have blind spots.

Ideas may die, but how do you kill them?
CGPGrey explained how internet arguments are self-selecting in order to symbiotically grow two opposing sides who mostly just badmouth the other side with increasingly inaccurate stories. That wouldn't be a problem, except sometimes the process spirals out of control and spills over into harassment, doxxing, violence, etc. So, if we understand how the process works, how do you stop it? Is there actually an effective way to treat the angry thought-germs CGPGrey described?

living in Islip, Long Island
One of my favorite brothers has a job opportunity that would bring him to the East Coast from a small town in the Midwest (Yay!). Specifically, he would probably move his family to Islip, Long Island. He called to ask me what the area was like and I had no idea how to answer him. I live in North Brooklyn and have only been to Long Island a couple of times for brief visits. So I'm asking here for any insight into what life is like in Islip. I can find some facts online, of course, but nothing that gives and inside view of day to day living. Is it really expensive to live there? What is the culture like? Anything unique and wonderful about the place? Does it totally suck? [more inside]

How do you make a splendid cup of tea?
As an Englishman, I am familiar with how some of my fellow Anglo-Saxon brethren make a cup of tea. Some make a pot of tea and decant when appropriate, and the rest, for speed, laziness or an unappreciation of our noble drink, use a teabag in a mug. But, apart from a few of our distant cousins, I remain ignorant as to how Americans, Canadians and others across the waters typically make tea (as in the hot drink made from the conjunction of tea leaves and hot water). If applicable, how do you? Are there unique variations in procedure pertaining to your locale? [more inside]
Cross cultural Engagement party

The connection
I'd like to read about the connection between the counter culture/alternative culture in the 60s and the first generation of computer culture. I believe our thinking about computers and the internet contains a lot of DNA from the alternative part of the 60s, but I don't know where I can read about this subject. Your suggestions (preferably links to online material) are welcome!

Everywhere the signs
So trailing behind stenciled instructions to TRY KRATOM, the streetside signs around where I live trend heavily - and I mean borderline Twilight Zone level - toward advertisements for flag football.

Do I wait for things to get better or is it a bad fit?
I've been in a relationship for 7 months with a person who I'm incredibly charmed by, but makes me feel lonely when he's inconsistent in his pursuit of me. I've made excuses for his traveling for work, his creative brain, our cultural differences and his hurts from his previous broken engagement. Some things that just seem normal to me - romantic gestures (surprises, flowers, notes) and consistent communication - seem difficult for him. He says that he loves me. Are my expectations unreasonable or is he emotionally immature? [more inside]

Seeking: international visual guides of fashion subcultures
Where can I find more visual glossaries of international fashion subcultures, particularly the ones that are lesser-known or more specific? They'll have photos or video of the style, some background on what the style is about and where it's from, and some description of key elements.

Recommend a basic book comparative "politics" of traditional societies
Looking for a basic intro anthropology text that discusses the breadth of social and political structures in 'traditional' societies across the continents - or just across say Africa, or ... Some comments about the mistaken belief of widespread "communal" cultures across Africa has prompted an interest in the breadth of such variances in cultural organisations in 'earlier' or 'traditional' societies. Thus, an introductory text for the layperson would be good, nothing too massive or encyclopaedic.

Is there a name for this type of context in language?
"Après moi, le deluge" is a famous phrase. Literally it means "After me, the deluge." Idiomatically it essentially means "I don't care what happens after I'm gone, even if the world ends." I get all that. But what is missing from the Wikipedia page I linked to is the historical/cultural context; "the deluge" figuratively refers to the biblical flood described in Genesis 6-9.

From the 1940s on, what songs/artists are key to trans* issues in rock?

What ideas have been floated? [more inside]
Looking for books about different world cultures
I'm looking for books that: 1. List different beliefs and practices of many different world cultures, both contemporary or historical cultures. 2. Are accessible, as in not needing an anthropology degree to understand them. 3. Preferably have pictures. 4. Are non-fiction, NOT a narrative with characters. I just want the facts. 5. Can be for kids or adults. 6. Preferably not internet resources because I want to minimize screen time. [more inside]

Great little Soho chocolatier with a European-style cafe in the back room. They mostly have great chocolate but also great beverages. Predictably, one of the teas is a chocolate flavored one. We were also huge fans of the various hot chocolates. Everything is incredibly rich so the smallest size always does the trick. They also do a great matcha latte and incorporate matcha into a lot of their chocolates.
Try the white chocolate matcha bar, it's my favorite. :)
It's across the street from the Soho Harney & Sons if you're doing a tea crawl and Palais des Thes is also nearby.
This shop has tea floor to ceiling in cute tins. Lots of mostly flavored black teas. Makes good gifts.
Nice tea and tea accessories, and local honey, and some sweets too! Always something nice here. The employees usually have a pretty good idea of what's good, and they've got fun stuff behind the counter if you ask (like aged puerh medallions).
Bewley's Cafe closed in 2015 for refurbishment but is supposed to reopen in 2016. It's located on Grafton Street which is the heart of Dublin's best shopping district. Therefore, this fun shop is always packed to the gills regardless of having three (?) confusing floors. You come in, push other people around, and snipe yourself a table.
It was great for a cuppa and soup or a scone, especially because you were probably just walking around in some chilly rain. However, according to the Irish Times, when it reopens it'll be much smaller with a smaller menu. So I guess we'll have to see! Very sad times. I've probably been 4 or 5 times and I'm sad to hear it's getting reduced.
This place is too much fun. Amazing assortment of Asian pastries and tea. They do a great matcha latte but the Okinawa milk tea is the real standout.
Best if you're not staying because there's not much seating. Most of the food is perfect for walking and eating.

Diagnosing Substance Abuse and Dependence in SchizophreniaJanuary 29, 2013 • By A GoodTherapy.org News Summary
People with mental illness are more likely to be diagnosed with a substance use disorder than people without mental illness. For individuals with severe mental illness (SMI), substance use rates are even higher. Some SMI's that have the highest levels of substance use disorder include depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia. This can make treating either condition more challenging. Therefore, it is essential to know if a client is dealing with substance abuse or substance dependency. Currently, several different diagnostic tools and assessment methods are used to determine the level of use. However, until now, no research has compared the validity and accuracy of these methods.
Sarah L. Desmarais of the Department of Psychology at North Carolina State University wanted to find out if one method was superior to another and tested several different approaches on a sample of 1,460 adults with schizophrenia. She used clinical ratings, collateral assessments, urine and hair tests, and self-reports and compared them to the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Disorders (SCID) ratings. She found that overall, the methods she used provided similar results to the SCID. She also found that none of the approaches provided clear distinction between substance dependence and substance abuse.
This finding was particularly concerning because it has been theorized that SMI prevents people from using substances without abusing them. However, that was not found to be supported in this study. In fact, many of the participants used substances without having significant impairment or dependency. But because dependency can have a dramatic impact on treatment and mental illness outcomes, it is important for future work to explore this issue more thoroughly. Until then, Desmarais believes her results show that there was not one test that clearly outperformed any other. She said, "Differences in diagnostic accuracy, when they were found, were relatively small in nature, providing limited support for superiority of one assessment approach over another." In sum, she said that deciding which test to administer should be based on the overall treatment plan, financial limitations, and time constraints, and not on the minute differences in results from one test to another.
Desmarais, S. L., Van Dorn, R. A., Sellers, B. G., Young, M. S., and Swartz, M. S. (2012). Accuracy of self-report, biological tests, collateral reports and clinician ratings in identifying substance use disorders among adults with schizophrenia. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors.

while having a severe mental illness may play a role in how a person uses a substance it may not always be to the same degree in all the people.why some banned substances were initially made as medications.also the way each of these substances has an effect can also depend on the particular mental illness.research should continue on this in order to help those affected.
BennyJanuary 30th, 2013 at 11:51 PM
If a mental illness can impair a person's judgement skills and come in the way of deaddiction it sounds like a very difficult situation. Not only is there the mental illness to cope with but also the substance use issue. It can also come in the way of adhering to treatment and medications and may prolong the treatment period, thereby increasing chances of dropping out altogether. A very dangerous situation indeed.
timonJanuary 31st, 2013 at 2:44 PM
interesting to learn about people with schizophrenia and a substance issue. when one's perceptions change due to this disorder wouldn't the perception about the substance and its effects change too? it would bring a change but I don't know in which direction. maybe it helps the cause of quitting or worsens things, but it would be interesting to study this at a larger scale.
Leigh AnneJanuary 31st, 2013 at 2:48 PM
I would presume that people with a mental illness may turn to substances like cigarettes or alcohol could be a way for them to cope?
CathyFebruary 4th, 2013 at 7:46 PM
With all the medications people are put on to treat mental illness,when you add illegal or illegally uses drugs you are creating a chemical stew and it is very difficult to tell where the mental illness ends and the drugs begin. When my son abuses xanax…his drug of choice he is a walking billboard for bipolar disease. But off the drugs he shows no sign of mental illness.

An afternoon foot pursuit on Sept. 8 resulted in the arrest of a man reportedly wanted by authorities. Robert Homer Moore is charged with failure to appear, violation of probation and resisting arrest.
According to the report, police received information that Moore was at 103 Kingwood St. and he had active warrants.
"Upon arrival, officers made contact with Mr. Moore," the report said. "Officers asked Mr. Moore to stop and he began to run from officers. Several commands were given to Mr. Moore to stop and he did not comply."
A free public showing of the film "Lincoln" is planned during a movie night at the Princess Theatre in downtown Harriman.
The showing will begin at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 15.
Donations to fund future Roane State Community College Arts and Lectures events are requested.
"Lincoln," rated PG-13, explores the tragedy of the Civil War, the carnage of the battlefields, and the many difficult decisions made by one of the country's most interesting presidents.
More than 100 senior citizens were treated to demonstrations, health screenings and a light lunch during last week's Young at Heart Senior Health and Safety Fair at the Kingston Community Center.
Between the nearly 30 vendors and the spectators, the event was a crowded one.
"It went very, very well," said Patriot Homecare Administrator Amanda Best, who coordinated the event. "We had a lot of wonderful vendors, and a lot of positive comments."
When the budget director position became open last month, Roane County Executive Ron Woody said he did not consider advertising for the position.
"For continuity of business, you never see corporations and their top-level management do many advertising of jobs," he said.
Kaley Walker served as the county budget director for nearly six years, but she was fired on Aug. 29.
Woody said his office contacted Connie Aytes about the position a year ago when Walker got another job offer.
From staff reports
It may be the end of the year before work on the widening project on Ruritan Road in South Harriman is complete.
"They said they'd probably have all the traffic moving in the direction they need to be moving by the end of the year," said Mayor Wayne Best.
Best updated Harriman City Council last week about the information he recently gleaned from those involved with the project.
For Roane County Commissioner Junior Hendrickson, tonight's County Commission meeting at the old courthouse is about more than nostalgia.
Hendrickson serves on the Roane County Heritage Commission and, for him, the meeting is about awareness.
"The old girl's got some issues," Hendrickson said, referring to the old courthouse.
According to the Heritage Commission, the old courthouse was built in the 1850s and is one of only six antebellum courthouses remaining in Tennessee.
A panicking youth can be heard on a 911 call telling dispatchers he shot his sister's boyfriend.
The 911 call from the Aug. 28 shooting death of MarStratton Gordon was part of the testimony heard during Friday's detention hearing for Jacob Kinney, the youth charged with delinquent second-degree murder in the case.
"My sister and her boyfriend were in an argument, and a bunch of s--- just happened," Kinney can be heard saying on the recording.
"We played hard. I thought Rockwood played hard. I am proud of the way we bounced back after last week's close loss. We have a tough region game coming up with CAK," said Kingston Yellow Jacket Coach Brian Pankey following his team's 35-14 victory over county rival Rockwood Thursday night.
"I thought we played hard. We are still making some mistakes. We're getting closer and still trying to figure some things out. Take away five plays and a couple of penalties, the outcome would be better than it was," said Rockwood Coach John Webb.
Joe Tumminello rushed for 180 yards on 13 carries and scored four touchdowns to lead the Oliver Springs Bobcats to a 45-7 non-region win over the Sunbright Tigers.
The Bobcats amassed 389 total yards, rushing for 377 on 44 carries and completing 1-of-3 passes for 12 yards and compiling 22 first downs, while their defense held the Tigers to minus 58 yards rushing on 19 carries and 167 yards passing on 13-of-37 tosses and seven first downs.

Posted on February 11, 2014 in Shoes and Apparel
Love has a special meaning for tennis players. We love our game, and all the puns (intended or not!) that come with being a tennis player and fan. Valentine's Day is upon us so let's celebrate our love of all things tennis with a few fun tees.
For the guys, the adidas Spring Love Hurts T-Shirt, left, is available in two colors. We're showing the blue here, but it's also available in green. Love does hurt in tennis. We sure love to hand out the bagels, but don't want to be handed any!
The ladies have a lot of options when it comes to tees that showcase a love of the game. LoveAll is ready made for the tennis player on Valentine's Day. With a name like LoveAll, you just can't go wrong. Here are two tops especially appropriate for the theme of love. The pink V-neck is called the Love Game Tee. It's also available in blue, but pink so so perfect for Valentine's Day. The LoveAll burnout tees are a great casual option or something lightweight to wear on the court. The Crossed Racquets Hoodie says Love the Game and is the same lightweight material, making a nice piece to pull on after a match. It's available in a wine color in addition the grey we're showing below.
Little girls have probably the most options for "love" apparel. Cleverly named Lucky In Love makes both women's and girl's apparel, and we're showing just one of the several adorable tops for girls here. The Heart Tie Dye Tee, right, is certified cute and a must-have by my 3-year-old daughter. She picked that one as her favorite of the heart-themed Lucky In Love tees.
And because I'm a mom who finds little girl clothes irresistible, I leave you with one last cute top for girls. Little Miss Tennis has the Popular Tee. A classic white top is made for the junior set with expertly applied purple sequins over screen printed Love Tennis text. Love it!
Fun "tennis love" apparel aside, there's one way we can always show our love of the game: Get out there and play!
Happy Hitting!

In MLB history, which players have had their names tainted by that one botched play? It's unfortunate, because these players who made a monumental mistake are likely to be remembered for nothing else.
Case in point, Bill Buckner and the infamous ground ball that went under his legs at first base. Even though Buckner was deemed the scapegoat for the Red Sox's loss in the World Series, his legacy is now tainted despite the successful career he had.
Everyone makes mistakes, and that includes baseball players. If someone were to tell you otherwise, they would be lying. However, the baseball players on this list just happened to make a mistake at the most inopportune time.
Here is a list of the 25 biggest screw-ups in MLB history.

The minority Liberals are expected to announce some saving on your energy bills later in the week but before they do that, they are reminding voters other ways they've reduced the strain on your wallet. The progress report on "pocketbook initiatives" is expected to be released on Monday afternoon, pointing to Liberal government achievements – or "strengthening consumer rights" - going as far back as 2003.
It is being released before the budget is tabled on May 1st, which is expected to trigger an election.
The province is focusing on a list of savings, including the 30 per cent tuition grant, bringing down car insurance rates by an average of six per cent and lowering generic drug prices.
The report also highlights new rules for cell phone contracts, the seniors' property tax grant and increasing minimum wage to $11 an hour.
The NDP have been propping up the Liberals since a minority government was elected in 2011. If they do not let the budget pass this year, the Liberals will fall, triggering an election campaign.
According to leaked budget documents by the Tories, later this week the Liberal government will announce the end to the debt retirement charge on your hydro bills starting in 2016.

A proposal to preserve collective bargaining rights for Michigan workers must be placed on the November ballot, the state's Court of Appeals has ruled.
The four-member Board of State Canvassers - two Republicans and two Democrats - had deadlocked on allowing the vote, with the Republicans opposed. Some 700,000 Michigan voters had signed petitions to place the measure on the ballot after a series of attacks on the rights of workers by Gov. Rick Snyder and Republican lawmakers.
Only a week ago Snyder filed a brief with the Court opposing a vote on the proposal.
"Corporate special interests pushed Lansing politicians to pressure the court before the decision," said Michigan State4 AFL-CIO President Karla Swift. "But the court confirmed there is no legal reason to deny people the opportunity to vote on the proposal.
"Working people must now be ready" Swift said, "to counteract the corporate special interest money that is about to flood into our state to confuse the issue and defeat working families at the ballot box."

easy x delicious?
I made a delicious caprese salad the other day, and was really impressed by the amount of tasty it was relative to the amount of prep work. I know lots of things that are easy to cook (or, in this case, leave uncooked) and lots of things that are delicious, but could use a lot more crossover. [more inside]

Upgrade my bean bowl and noodle soup! (No sugar and salt edition)
I've been trying a no sugar/complex carbohydrates diet by dumping vegetables and canned salmon together with beans in a bowl, or dumping vegetables and canned salmon together with shirataki noodles in a bowl and then pouring in hot water. This gets old, fast. What are some ways to simply upgrade the taste of my meals, without added sugar, simple carbohydrates, or too much added salt? [more inside]
Shop Once, Eat All Week
I had my life changed recently by a magazine article that showed me how to prepare a complete dinner for the whole week in 10-15 minutes per night with a few hours prep on Sunday, all for under $100. But it seems to be the only article of its kind! Please help me find more. [more inside]
(veggie) burgers and other analog recipes
Which standard recipes, with meat as a key ingredient, have clear vegetarian analogs? Examples, to be clear: for every hamburger, there is a veggie burger (eggplant, cauliflower, etc). Chili con carne becomes chili sin carne. For meatloaf there is Neatloaf. What else should I be thinking of? "Buy fake meat" is not heading in the right direction; "google 'vegetarian [meaty food]'" is a realistic suggestion but which foods?
Romantic / English Dinner Ideas?
Seeking ideas for plannning a multi-course, romantic, home-cooked meal for two that is also thoroughly, completely English. The more traditional the better. Looking for dishes in season, no seafood, ideally with a focus on lamb as a centerpiece and easy on the potato/bread. Other then that, assume a high level of cooking skill, endless time for fiddly bits, and acess to pretty much anything and a well stocked UK grocery importer store nearby. [more inside]

Help me make Christmas dinner. I'm looking for recipes to serve 8-10 people that could be basically prepared the day before* and then just put on the stove or in the oven a few hours before dinner. We're a pretty traditional family without significant dietary restrictions, living in the Twin Cities suburbs. I'm an adventurous cook and am pretty willing to try new and challenging dishes (as long as the tough part is preparing them the day before). [more inside]
