On Saturday, December 1st, Palouse Cares will send volunteers out into their community with one mission: to collect as much food as possible.
"It's all about food," said Palouse Cares Director Rick Minard. "We just knock on as many doors as we can get in that two hour time. We do it from 10 till noon on Saturday, December first. We just ask people to give for the food bank and so far, they've really been generous with their donations."
Since 2006, the drive has donated over 130,000 pounds of food to food banks on the Palouse.
"Last year we raised about 38,000 pounds of food, and this year we're hoping to break the 40,000 pounds," said Minard.
This year, the food banks in dire need of things like canned goods, cereal and peanut butter.
"And especially this year," said volunteer Ryann Carter. "A lot of the food in the food banks has gone to Hurricane Sandy victims and so we need more volunteers this year than we have in the past because the bank is running low."
Getting involved is easy. There are local gathering places in Moscow, Pullman, Colfax, Potlatch, Palouse, Deary, Bovill, and Genesee. If you'd like to collect food, just show up at your local gathering place at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
"It's always a blast," said Carter. "So I'm actually looking forward to it this Saturday. I'm pretty excited."
And if you'd like to donate food, just have it ready at your door for when the volunteers come knocking.
"If you live in the city limits of all those towns I mentioned, we'll hit your door," said Minard.
Palouse Cares volunteers will be knocking on doors between 10 a.m. and noon on Saturday, and there will be silent auctions in Pullman and Moscow later that day.
If you would like more information on the silent auctions, where to go to volunteer, or places you can drop off food donations, go to palousecares.org.

Team USA was preparing for its first FIBA World Cup matchup against Finland when Kyrie Irving and James Harden decided to engage in a friendly shooting competition.
Irving, a career 37.8 percent shooter from deep, barely edged out Harden, leading 5-4 at the end of the video. The competition wasn't without a slight scoring controversy, however, as the two seemingly lost count of the score midway through the contest.
Team USA tips off against Finland at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday.

OSHA News Release – Region 4
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 4 News Release: 05-2371-ATL (313)
Date: Friday, December 30, 2005
Contact: Les Grove Jo Anne Burgoyne
Phone: (813) 626-1177 (404) 562-2076
TAMPA, Fla. -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued 27 citations, with total proposed penalties of $38,750, to three Clearwater-based contractors for allegedly exposing workers to asbestos at an Indian Shores demolition site.
"These employers were aware of the health standards but failed to protect employees from airborne asbestos," said Les Grove, OSHA's Tampa area director. "Such exposure can lead to asbestosis, a scarring of the lung tissue, and several types of cancer."
According to OSHA's investigation, the general contractor, Gannaway Builders, failed to assure that a competent person assessed and controlled employee exposure to airborne fibers during the removal of decorative ceilings that contain asbestos fibers. Gannaway also failed to: conduct regular site inspections; provide employees with personal protective equipment and safety training; and designate and maintain decontamination and change areas. The company received 15 serious citations with proposed penalties totaling $32,000.
OSHA issued nine serious citations, with proposed penalties totaling $4,500, to AARLICE Skilled Labor for exposing workers to asbestos hazards at the site. K & W Electric received three citations and a $2,250 fine for safety hazards also designated as serious.
The three contractors were involved in the demolition, renovation and condominium conversion of apartments in the Tampa area.
All three companies have 15 working days to contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The inspection was conducted by OSHA's Tampa area office, 5807 Breckenridge Parkway, Suite A; phone: (813) 626-1177.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships, and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

AT&T Park is the defining crown jewel of the San Francisco Giants franchise. It symbolizes the Giants successful efforts to remain in San Francisco and has become one of the go-to attractions in the city over the last 12 seasons.
There have seen magic moments aplenty in the new yard. Almost 1000 regular season games. Five World Series games. When it comes to championships, it's AT&T 1 Candlestick 0.
I have ranked the 12 seasons of AT&T Park according to how much fun they provided the fans along the way. There are zero quantitative factors in the formula; just nostalgic memories.

Wrapped Meatballs
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 15 mins
This came from the coupon insert section in one of the many magazines I get each month. This would make a very easy, but crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (38 ounce) bagitalian meatballs (use 1/2 the bag)
- 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 3 cups pasta sauce, for dipping
- Thaw meatballs. On an ungreased baking sheet, separate crescent rolls iinto 8 pieces. Cut each piece in half to form 2 narrow triangles.
- Place a meatball onto each crescent triangle; pull up corners of roll, wrapping the meatball.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 11-13 minutes.
- If desired, sprinkle cheese on wraps while still warm.
- Serve with pasta sauce for dipping.
Most Helpful
Ever look for a recipe after you made the dish? I used my own dough and wrapped the meatballs, but before posting a recipe, I did a search and this recipe is essentially the one I made but using refrigerated dough. The dish was a winner at a pot-luck dinner.

"He'll do for Michigan what he's done for Ohio. Create jobs," a pro-John Kasich TV ad is telling Michigan voters in advance of next Tuesday's primary.
Plunderbund has repeatedly reported how much Gov. Kasich has under-performed, so much so that some urban centers may not recover their pre-Great Recession job levels for years to come, as Ohio has lagged the national average for most of Kasich's five years as governor.
JobsOhio reported on Tuesday that year-over year Ohio has 23,602 new jobs, a record, due to its efforts, and corporate investment rose $6.7 billion at the same time. […]Full Story... →
Omnicare Joins Growing List of Kasich's JobsOhio Failures
Omnicare in 1998 moved from downtown Cincinnati to nearby Covington, Kentucky, the town literally across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, after receiving $4 million in economic development incentives to make the move. After that economic development package expired (as in, Kentucky could no longer legally ask the company to repay the benefits it was given), Omnicare announced in 2011 that it was…. moving right back to downtown in Cincinnati after receiving $6 million in economic incentives from the State of Ohio under Governor Kasich. Because the commercial landlord that owned the space Omnicare moved to ALSO was receiving economic incentives, the new […]Full Story... →
Constitution Defenders AWOL On Unconstitutional JobsOhio
An overwhelmingly number of Buckeye lawmakers, virtually all them Republican, voted last Tuesday to fast forward a proposal to the fall ballot that would monkey-wrench an amendment that would carve out real estate in the Ohio Constitution for ten commercial marijuana growers in the same way four casino owners got their real estate in 2009, by winning a statewide vote.

[UPDATED:] How John Kasich & JobsOhio Got Bob Evans' CEO Fired
This is the true story of how John Kasich and JobsOhio got one of its own inaugural board members fired and left Ohio taxpayers with giving the company an $8 million subsidy to boast the stock price to benefit a Swedish billionaire.
In 2011, first term Governor John Kasich was desperate to change the subject. In the first year of his term, Kasich already had approval ratings in the mid-30s after picking a fight he couldn't win against working families with SB 5, a bill that would have essentially eliminated the right of police officers, firefighters, teachers, and government workers […]Full Story... →
John Kasich headlined the Ohio Chamber of Commerce's 2014 year end review in downtown Columbus on Thursday. The governor's message and delivery were virtually identical to last year. From keeping Ohio's fiscal house in order to creating a climate for job creation, Gov. Kasich was swooned over by Senate President Keith Faber, who will return in that role for the next two years, and House Speaker Bill Batchelder, who first entered the legislature in 1968 and whose final day arrives Dec. 31.
Now on the long list of possible GOP presidential hopefuls for 2016, Gov. Kasich told a ballroom full of […]Full Story... →
New Stats Prove Kasich, JobsOhio Have NO Control Over Jobs
Not only is Ohio Gov. John Kasich's private and secret job creating engine very likely unconstitutional, a conclusion experts predict the Ohio Supreme Court would reach if a case challenging Kasich's creature ever reaches it, but it apparently can't create many jobs either.
Two new reports detailing Ohio's poor job creation performance show the Wizard of Westerville's so-called "Ohio Miracle" is mostly a self-basting, feel-good illusion. Many workers are still waiting for Kasich's promised land of jobs galore to materialize in their lifetime.
If Gov. Kasich's Reagan-era grab bag collection of poor-to-non-performing economic policies, programs and initiatives he likes […]Full Story... →

Kasich/JobsOhio Continue To Conflate Job "Commitments" With Actual Jobs
By all real measures used by actual economists, Ohio's job growth stalled two years ago – right about the time that JobOhio, Kasich's non-transparent and unconstitutional money hole, started handling economic development for the state.
While the U.S. has regained all of the jobs lost during the Great Recession, economists calculate that Ohio is still down 139,900 jobs from our pre-recession peak. Not surprising since Ohio's job growth has lagged the U.S. average for almost 20 months in a row.
But Kasich isn't going to let facts get in the way of him continuing to push his Ohio Miracle story. Especially not […]Full Story... →
When John Kasich and Mark Kvamme created JobsOhio back in 2011, they promised us the world! JobsOhio would be given all of Ohio's liquor profits for 25 years, over six billion dollars in total, and it would be freed from the burden and constraint of government oversight, public record disclosure and public audits. JobsOhio would then be able to move at the "speed of business" to kick the collective asses of all of our neighboring states, and the rest of the country, stimulating job growth and getting Ohioans back to work after the recession that started in 2007.
Sadly for Ohio, Kasich's JobsOhio scheme […]Full Story... →
Mike DeWine Must Do His Job And Sue JobsOhio
Throughout the time that the various JobsOhio cases have been pending, I have tried to stay focused on the legal issues and avoided making disparaging comments on the various office holders involved in this monstrosity. I focused on the legal issues, primarily standing.
This month the Ohio Supreme Court once again prevented the case from being determined on the merits. This time it found that the constitutionality issue could not be brought by a declaratory judgment under the public rights standing doctrine. They stated that a declaratory judgment action is not the proper way to bring the case and that […]Full Story... →
Five Republican Justices on the Ohio Supreme Court just did Governor John Kasich a huge political favor.

Salisbury is famous as a favourite haunt
of Turner's contemporary, John Constable. However, Turner also completed a number of views in and around the city. His taste
for picturesque subjects often led him to seek out examples of vernacular, rustic architecture as well as the grand landmarks such as cathedrals and castles.
The building in this unfinished watercolour
is Harnham Mill, which dates from the fifteenth century. It still stands today,
a short walk from Salisbury cathedral, though it is now a hotel and restaurant.
It is clearly identifiable by the distinctive chequered stonework on the exterior
of the ground floor.

Fall 2016
Introduction to Language and Linguistics
Professor Christiane D. Fellbaum
An introduction to the scientific analysis of the structure and uses of language. Core areas covered include phonetics and phonology, morphology, the lexicon, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, with data from a wide range of languages. Topics include the biological basis of language, language and cognition, the neurology of language and language disorders, and first and second language acquisition.
Language in Its Contexts
Professor Laura Kalin
This course investigates language in its social, cultural, political, and historical contexts. Does your native language influence your perception, your behavior, and your culture? How does your identity influence properties of your language? What happens when unrelated languages come into contact for prolonged periods? How are new languages born? Why isn't English the official language of the United States, and should it be? We will explore these questions (and more) by engaging with the often contradictory opinions of specialists and the public, as well as with the empirical realities behind these different language situations.
*There is a waitlist for this class. Please contact email@example.com if you would like to be placed on the waitlist.
Professor Byron T. Ahn
Syntax is the aspect of human language involved in building phrases out of words. How do words combine - like beads on a string? Are words the smallest building blocks of phrases? How can we make predictions about what is possible and impossible in these structures? This course aims to answer these questions while focusing on the methods linguists use to analyze natural language expressions. Explorations of some universal properties of language structures, as well as the ways in which those structures can vary. Strong emphasis on building and testing hypotheses on the basis of both language data and foundational principles of the field.
Melodies of English (and Other Languages)
Professor Byron T. Ahn
Methods of exploration and analysis of English melodic patterns, addressing questions such as: How do you pronounce a question differently from a statement? How do you pronounce a comma? Students learn how to analyze prosodic data (intonation, phrasing, and prominence) using computer software and standard annotation conventions, leading to student-run research. Comparisons of the English intonational system to systems of other languages of the world.
Linguistic Universals and Language Diversity
Professor Laura Kalin
This course delves into linguistic typology: How do we classify languages? How much can languages differ from each other? What linguistic properties (if any) are shared across all languages? The course will demonstrate that, contrary to initial impressions, languages of the world do not differ arbitrarily and without limit. All human languages share a common core (universals). We must therefore explain why there are linguistic universals and along what parameters languages can vary (diversity). To do so, we will look at a wide range of linguistic phenomena across unrelated languages, many of which are endangered.
Situated Language Usage: Conversations, Dialogues, and other Goal-Based Communications
Professor Esteban Buz
From ordering a cup of tea from a barista to exchanging abstract ideas with coursemates, human interactions are frequently goal-based and collaborative. To achieve shared goals, people exchange information and coordinate joint action using some form of spoken, gestured, or written language. In this course we will cover our current understanding of how people use and learn to use language in situated interactions and how this sheds light on our language abilities and language's relationship to general cognition. We will cover topics that range from speech production and comprehension, word usage, pragmatic inference, and learning.

Strawberry Lemon Poppy Seed Scones.
Looking for that perfect, moist, and fruity scone recipe? This is it!
What did you do this weekend? In between a little early birthday shopping, I baked more this past weekend than I have in a long, long time. I had two scone recipe fails on Saturday morning and instantly felt the need to add a little vodka to my orange juice. Can you blame me? I felt like such a failure! But it's only through our mistakes that we can learn, right?
I attempted the scones for the 3rd time and the stars aligned. I bit into a perfectly moist, soft, sweet, slightly crisp exterior with a smile beaming ear to ear. These scones, my friends, are absolute perfection.
I have never been a fan of scones until I tried a few at the Panera Bread test kitchen event last month. I have always found scones to be a little too dry, sometimes bland, and way too crunchy for my taste. Are you the same way? Boy, was I quickly proven wrong! If done right, scones can melt in your mouth. Soft interiors, crisp edges, flaky, buttery, and tender.
I am now a scone enthusiast. Excuse me while I go bite into my third scone of the weekend. (That's what my 6am runs are for.)
I worked on a few different scone recipes this weekend and I'm thrilled to share this one with you. It was my personal favorite out of the bunch; lemon baked goods are my weakness. They're like a lemon poppy seed muffin, only kicked up a notch. Filled with juicy strawberries in every single bite. Before you begin, there are a couple scone MUSTS that you need to know.
First, in my mess of a kitchen Saturday morning, I learned that I much prefer a scone made with frozen butter compared to just cold butter. Why? It's imperative to use cold butter in this scone recipe because when the little crumbs of butter melt as the scone bakes, they release steam and create little pockets of air – this makes the scones a little airy on the inside while remaining flaky and crisp on the outside. Cold butter isn't good enough, it must be frozen. Simply place a stick of butter in the freezer for 30 minutes ahead of time.
You can shred the frozen butter with a grater or process a couple times in your food processor. I use 8 Tablespoons (1 stick; 115 grams) in my scone recipe. No more, no less.
Work the frozen butter shreds into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; I used a pastry blender to do this. You may also use your hands or two knives.
Another important step to note? Don't over mix the dough! After you the flour/butter mixture resembles coarse crumbs (pictured below, left) – then it is time to add your wet ingredients: egg, heavy cream, vanilla, strawberries. The cream adds SO much moisture. Don't think about substituting it! Gently add these ingredients in and mix very gently together. When you overmix a dough it will over develop the gluten making it tough.
So the trick to a plate of light-textured scones? Avoid over working the dough.
By the way, don't get nervous if some strawberry juice gets worked into the dough as you incorporate them. The juice will simply add color and flavor to your scones.
Pat the dough down into an 8-inch circle on your baking sheet and cut into 8 triangles.
My tip? Use the sharpest knife you own! The scone dough is quite moist and will likely stick a bit to your knife. That's OK. Before baking, I sprinkled with a little coarse sugar. I love the crunch it adds.
The sweet lemon glaze is optional, but highly recommended – especially if you're a lemon lover like I am. It's a simple combination of lemon juice, confectioners' sugar, and cream. I went light on the glaze because I didn't want the flavorful scone to get lost under it. Instead of the glaze, try a simple dollop of whipped cream.
These tender, fruity scones are best when they are still a bit warm from the oven. You know, when the strawberries are still firm and that sugary topping is still crunchy. When warm, the glaze melts into every crevice and seeps into the interior.
Seriously, look how tasty.
A cross between a buttery scone, a soft poppy seed muffin, and a refreshing glass of strawberry lemonade. Does it truly get any better?
Try these scones; you won't be disappointed!

Strawberry Lemon Poppy Seed Scones
Yield: 8 scones
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Looking for that perfect, moist, and fruity scone recipe? This is it! The heavy cream adds so much moisture. Don't think about substituting it!
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
- 6 Tablespoons (80g) granulated sugar
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- zest of 1 large lemon
- 8 Tablespoons (115g) unsalted butter, frozen
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) chopped fresh or frozen strawberries (do not thaw if using frozen)
- optional: coarse sugar (I used Sugar In The Raw)
Lemon Glaze
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 cup (120g) confectioners' sugar
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) half-and-half (or heavy cream or milk)
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Adjust baking rack to the middle-low position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Add the lemon zest and whisk together again. Grate the frozen butter (I used a box grater; a food processor also works - here is the one I own and love). Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, your fingers, or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal (as pictured above). Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cream, egg, and vanilla together. Drizzle it over the flour mixture and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Slowly and gently fold in the strawberries. Try your best to not overwork the dough at any point. Do not worry if the dough begins to turn a little pink from the strawberries- that's expected depending how juicy yours are. Dough will be wet. Work the dough into a ball as best you can and transfer to the prepared baking pan. Press into a neat 8″ disc and cut into equal wedges with a very sharp knife. Top with a sprinkle of coarse sugar, if using.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. While the scones are cooling, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm scones.
- Scones are best enjoyed right away, though unglazed leftover scones keep well at room temperature for 2 extra days. Scones freeze well, up to 3 months.
- Make ahead tip: Scones are best enjoyed right away, though leftover scones keep well at room temperature for 2 extra days. Scones freeze well, up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat up to your liking before enjoying.

Can't wait to try making these but I have a question first. Since I usually make a recipe exactly according to the original directions, I wondered if you preferred using frozen strawberries, such as in the blueberry scone recipe, instead of fresh. I know frozen berries become mushy when defrosted so would the fresh ones be a little firmer?
Hi Sally,
I love your recipes and I've made quite a lot of your cookie recipes.
This blog entry for the strawberry lemon scones – can you please tell me where you got the white plate with the lattice edge? My great-grandmother had some tea saucers very similar to the plate in your photos.
This is dumb for you zest of a lemon or orange how do i get this. Also recipe for danish sweet roll the one with jam in the middle.
Hi Debra! Belated response, but just in case: the zest of a citrus fruit (like oranges or lemons) is when you use the peel (just the colorful part–not the bitter white pith!) to give a recipe a nice kick of citrus flavor. While there are a few ways to zest something (it depends on your purpose–sometimes you want the peel in a big piece, or a spiral for garnish), when you're using the peel in baked goods, you want it to be in tiny little crumbles so that it evenly distributes through the batter or dough. The easiest way to get there is to use either a hand rasp grater (aka a Microplane grater) or the side of a box grater with the tiniest little holes.
To start, you'll want to wash your fruit under warm water and scrub it with a brush–unless you're using organic fruit, many companies will put a food-grade wax on their fruit to keep it fresh longer. Good for the tasty insides, not so good for a zest!
After you've washed it, gently run your fruit over the rough side of the grater–be careful not to get the soft white part under the peel. Once you've gotten all the brightly colored peel off, you officially have the zest of one fruit :)!
Hi Sally! I have some ripe strawberries in my fridge that I want to use up, and I stumbled across this recipe! Looks delicious, I've been a fan of yours for a while now! I know substituting milk for cream might make the batter a little too wet but can I still substitute with a scant 1/2 cup? Thanks!
Hi Sally,
Just wanted to let you know….these scones are AMAZING!!!! I will never buy coffee shop scones again, so moist…so fluffy and bursting with strawberry citrus goodness! One question….would the texture change much if I used coconut oil instead of butter? Also I use half and half instead of heavy cream in the scone, still very delightful!

Bolivarianism v. Fake US Democracy
Venezuelans get the real thing. Americans get shafted.
by Stephen Lendman
On October 7, Venezuelans go to the polls. Expect Chavez reelected again overwhelmingly. Expect the freest, most open and fair electoral process in the Americas. Perhaps it's the best anywhere.
On November 6, polls open in America. Voters have no choice. Democrats and Republicans barely differ. They're in lockstep on issues mattering most.
Ordinary people are entirely left out. They have no say. Voting for either major party assures same old same old. Money power runs things. Elections are for show. They're a facade. Venezuelans get the real thing.
Chavez expects pre and post-election mischief. Perhaps it began. In Barinas, one of 23 Venezuelan states, two supporters of opposition candidate Henrique Capriles were shot and killed. Another was wounded.
At issue is what's going on and who's to blame. Chavez supporters are nonviolent. They're not about to shoot anyone. Certainly not to enhance victory on October 7. Point fingers elsewhere. Cui bono matters most. It always does.
This type incident stokes tensions. Capriles condemned the killings. He wants them used to his advantage. Chavez urged calm, saying:
"It's not with violence that we're going to face each other. It's vote against vote. We will not permit the bourgeoisie to take Venezuela down the road to violence. And we should not resort to provocations."
He urged followers not to let them distract from real issues. That's what elections are about.
Justice Minister Tareck Al Aissami said one suspect was arrested. No name was given. Nothing else is known. Opposition candidate Pedro Castillo was close to the scene.
He said no physical confrontation preceded the killings. Nothing suggested this would happen. Smell a rat for good reason. Expect more provocations to follow.
Chavez promises deeper Bolivarianism if reelected. He means it. He'll follow through. Supporters believe him for good reason. He's given Venezuelans more than any former leader in modern times. He's not about to let them down now.
Voters aren't about to sacrifice what they most cherish. Americans can't imagine benefits Venezuelans get. Both countries are worlds apart socially, economically, politically, and constitutionally.

Hollywood Park purses mostly unchanged
Overnight purses for the upcoming spring-summer meeting at Betfair Hollywood Park have been reduced for some cheaper divisions, but remain unchanged for higher-class races such as maiden special weight and allowance races compared to the 2012 meeting.
The purses for $20,000 maiden-claiming races, starter allowance races for nonwinners of two, and for claiming horses worth $8,000 to $25,000 have been cut by an average of $1,000 from last year.
Racing secretary Martin Panza emphasized that the prize money for those races remains equal to similar races at the current Santa Anita meeting. For example, an $8,000 claimer is worth $17,000 at both tracks, while a $25,000 claimer is worth $32,000. Last year, an $8,000 claimer was worth $18,000 at Hollywood Park.
Some Santa Anita purses are higher. For the upcoming meeting at Hollywood Park, a maiden special weight race over a mile on turf at Hollywood Park will be worth $52,000, compared to $56,000 at Santa Anita.
The Hollywood Park meeting opens April 25, with an eight-race program highlighted by the $70,000 Harry Henson Stakes for 3-year-olds over six furlongs on turf.

Tis what I've been playing lately. My boyfriend just bought it and he hasn't been playing it so I
have. I must say it's pretty great. I love the realistic factor. (Although it's really hard, lol) I just
started doing Japanese Car Classic Races. I'm not very far in. :c
In other news: my boyfriend's birthday party was the other day. We
played a lot of Mortal Kombat. His brother is a jerk about it. He keeps
using Scorpion and just using the chain pretty much. We all decided
we hated him for that, lol. We made him choose other characters and
thankfully he didn't dominate us with them as well. All in all, it was a
fun day though. Only one person threw up, hehe. :P

I always wonder what I should tell my children? Like if something were to happen to me or them what is that one thing they should carry on with them. I think I need to tell them I love them more, to respect their elderly, things like that. Any ideas what you want to tell your little one?
Things you should tell your children?
Comments (7)
Those are things I would like to teach my children. I feel those are of utmost importance if I am not here to guide them.
Of course the unusual, we live you always, will be with you always in spirit etc.
Me (33) and DH (35).
DS (Feb. 23, 11), Ectopic Angel (June 16, 2012)
"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves."
― Edward R. Murrow
I tell my children that when I die, it's ok. I know you will be sad but don't be so sad that it stops your life. Life goes on and one day when it's your time (Only God decides that)...then we will be together again and even if I am gone in body I will ALWAYS be with you in spirit. I always thought it was important for my children to know this. My mother was murdered when I was 4yrs old and even at 33yrs old I am still greatly affected by her death and everything that I went through after her passing...I can't even speak of her for some reason without falling into an ugly cry and getting depressed...The anniversary of her death is coming up and I always fall into this sad and depressed funk where I am always emotional...
and I tell them to grow up to be good, honest, hard working people...that is very important.
i want my girls to to know they can be anything or anyone they want to be in life. The sky's the limit. i will be behind them 100% emotionally and financially (well as much as i can be), if they are passionate about whatever it is. If they put forth the effort and make a real attempt to do whatever, i will support them. I don't care if they decide to be doctors or professional clowns. If it makes them happy, then i'm happy and i'm happy for them.
also, i love them more than anything...and all that mushy crap they're going to hate to hear when they get older!
I would want my DD to know that she was in my heart way before she was in my arms and I will always be in her heart even when she can no longer put her arms around me. I want her to learn responsibility and how to get right back up with any failure big or small. That whenever a door is closed- God ALWAYS opens a window. Help others out of kindness-not for praise. Understand every bird in the sky, beast on the land, and fish in the sea are singing God's praise because he is so big she will never be alone in this world.
Gosh we have such a big responsibility in creating such a perfect little human being, don't we??
-ME Married to the love of my life since 1996. ttc w/PCOS, 5 mc, 1 disrupted adoption. Hailey Marie Grace Born 2/17/2011 Our Little Princess
There is a song by a Christian artist that I've sung to my boys since my first was a year old. We've got the words hanging up in our play area and the song is about what a guy would say to someone if he could ever see him again. It's called "The words I would say."
Be strong in The Lord
Never give up hope
You're going to do great things, I already know
God's got His hand on you so don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget but don't forget why you're here
Take your time and Pray
These are the words I would say
My kids know these words all too well although I'm sure they don't understand them at this point. Other Than telling them every single day that I could never love another child the way I love them, I want them to know and fully live the words in that song. The first time I heard it I realized that it sums up every thought I've ever had about what I want my kids to know. As they grow, I'll make sure that all those concepts are written into who my boys are.
i thought of another one...or two
i want my girls to know, like it or not, it's a man's world. Yes, it's becoming more woman friendly, but it is, has been and will be a mans world. That shouldn't hold you back from anything. You may have to work a little harder to prove yourself, but don't ever think you have to depend on a man to make it in this world. You can do anything a man can do. Well, maybe besides peeing your name in the snow. You should never be stranded on the side of the road for something as simple as a flat tire. Women can change tires and i intend to show them how before they drive, just like my mother showed my sister and i. A woman can unclog a drain and mow the grass too. Yes, it's nice to have a hubby to do that for you, but not necessary.
Also, "Can't" should never be in their vocabulary. You may have trouble, and you may need to ask for help, but you CAN do anything.

THERE ARE still about 40 people Chip Kelly brought to NovaCare whose names or duties most of us have no clue about. As far as we know, they could all be busily reanimating zombies in the auditorium where the team used to hold news conferences, before Kelly decided reporters should be penned outside in a tent.
But Jerry Azzinaro, with the mop of gray curls and the big mustache, is one of the more prominent new faces. He's the defensive-line coach, who also carries the title of assistant head coach. Kelly, who often resists attempts to get him to talk about things that are important to him or helped mold him, was asked about Azzinaro's role yesterday, and he spoke at length about the 55-year-old career college coach from Brooklyn who, like Kelly, has spent much of his career at Northeastern schools, out of the football spotlight.

Born in Amsterdam the Netherlands, Freddy's talent was recognized at a young age and he started learning congas at the age of 12. Freddy was honoured to study with Raoul Burnet who was regarded as the best conga player and teacher in Western Europe.
Raoul was a master percussionist (one of the first musicians endorsed by LP – Latin Percussion in the Netherlands) and an expert in Afro Cuban rhythms. Raoul Burnet played with music legends such as Patato Valdez, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Wilson Picket, Art Blakey and many more.
After Raoul's sudden death, Freddy started to play kit drums as well to reggae music, ska music and funk. In the 80's he joined the band Revelation Time that quickly grew into the best afro reggae band in the Netherlands and one of the finest in Europe . Revelation Time had a top 40 hit in Europe with a song called South Africa . Freddy played drums and percussion with this band for over 12 years and toured Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Malta and Italy.
Revelation Time backed up Jamaican artists such as Lee Perry and Eek a Mouse, and supported well-known bands such as Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse, Aswad, Alpha Blondy, UB40, Inner Circle , Ossibisa, Saleif Keita, Toure Kounda, Senemali, Kumbi Saleh and Fela Kuti.
During this period throughout the 90's Freddy found a passion for West African rhythms and in particularly djembe drumming from Guinea West Africa.
Since being in Australia, Freddy has made an impact on the WA Music Scene. He is currently playing and has played with Latin Jazz group Descarga (featuring Chris Tarr, Tom O'hallaran, Troy Roberts, Dane Anderson, Des White, Jeremy Grieg, Matt Jodrell), LC Salsa, Los Chasquis, Latin Fusion, was the founding member of WAADA (now Akwaaba) , Mike Pigneguy, Glynn MacDonald, with Russell Borrows in Odai Nmai's group, WAAPA's award winning Defying Gravity, WAAPA Latin Music Ensemble, Lamine Sonko, Brenda Lee, Mohamed Bangoura, Ziggy Bey Diagne, Glenn Shorrock (Little River Band) in the Perth Concert Hall, Percussion Group Wongai, Barney McAll, Paul Tanner, Funkalleros, Lafaya (Mauritian Community band), Jason Heerah (Australia's top drummer from Electric Empire and currently on X Factor 2014), Thierryno Gangou (One of Mauritius most versatile keyboard players), Nuevo Salsa Orchestra with Marty Purvan, Mutima Band with Wajipha Congwe, Shahira Jazz and 5xWAMi winner with Grace Barbe as best World Music Act in Western Australia.
With the Grace Barbe Afro Kreol band Freddy has performed as a drummer and percussionist at SAKIFO Reunion Island 2010, Iomma 2011 Reunion Island, Reggae Donsa Mauritius 2011, WOMADELAIDE 2012, Byron Bay Blues and Roots in 2010 and 2011, Blue Mountains Festival 2010, Queenscliff Festival 2009 and Woodford Folk Festival in 2009,2009 and 2012, Nannup Music Festival 2010, Fairbridge Folk Festival in 2010 and 2011, WOMAD Adelaide 2012, Port Fairy 2013, WOMAD NZ 2013.
Because of his travels to Mauritius and Reunion Island, Freddy has emerged himself into the music styles like the Sega and the Seggae. In 2010 the Mauritian Perth based group Lafaya (with Freddy as drummer) were the backing band for the famous Mauritian vocal duo Nancy Derougere and Mario Justin and in 2011 Freddy was the percussionist for a Mauritian Allstar band called Tamtam Nostalzi with Jason Heerah, Thierryno Gangou, Damien Binzagou and Gerard G backing up Mauritian sega pioneers Serge Lebrasse (81), Jean-Claude Gaspard (65), and Roger Clency (80). Special mention to my friend, the pianist Thierryno Gangou who I regard as my mentor in Mauritian Music.
In 2014 Freddy's focus is on the following music projects:
Shahirah Jazz - A Jazz Latin trio
Ngati - A NZ Reggae and R&B band
Nuevo Salsa Orchestra - Latin Big Band
Mutima Band with Wajipha Chongwe - Global grooves
March 2014 Mutima performed at Nukara Folk Festival and made a strong impression
April 2014 Latin/Funk Groove bad Funkalerros rocked the house at Fairbridge Folk Festival with Freddy as the drummer.
As a hand percussionist Freddy conducts djembe and conga drumming workshops, teachesin Perth and Fremantle, he works with organisations such as CanTeen, Telethon, UWA WAAPA, Perth Jazz Society and Camp Quality and numerous schools.
Freddy is a casual lecturer and performer at ECU WAAPA (West Australian Academy of Performing Arts)where he has been working over the last years with WAAPA's award winning percussion group Defying Gravity and it's director Tim White, lecturer in percussion at the WA Academy of Performing Arts and Principal Percussion with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.
Over the last year Freddy has joined Human Rhythms Pty Ltd in their newly formed WA office where he plays the role of co-facilitator on corporate team building workshops.
Since 2005 Freddy has organised 7 successful Drum Camps called "Back to the Roots" in Jarrahdale WA . Together with Guinean Master Drummer Mohamed Bangoura from Sydney workshops are being held in traditional Djembe drumming, Dance and Afro Cuban drumming. Mohamed Bangoura recognised Freddy's talent and passion acknowledged him as a Djembe instructor.
Freddy is also the Australian agent for the world famous Mamady Keita, the grand master of djembe. Mamady has done 2 workshop tours through Australia in 2008 and 2009.
Freddy is currently (semi) endorsed by LP (Latin Percussion) and is available for workshops/private tuition.

Asustek Retracts, Puts Qualcomm Android Eee PC on Ice
June 1 Qualcomm presented its new superflat Eee PC with Snapdragon chipset and Xandros or Android to the public. But the enthusiasm waned shortly thereafter.
The Eee PC wasn't yet market ready, said Jonathan Tsang, vice chairman of Asutek, at the sidelines of a press conference at Computex Teipei, according to an ComputerWorld. Tsang added, "For the time being this project is not a priority because our engineering resources are limited."
This might be believable under circumstances, but it gets better: Asustek chairman Jonney Shih himself apologized at the press conference that the Android notebook was even displayed at Qualcomm's booth, as Gizmodo reports. "I think this is a company decision so far [that] we would not like to show this device."
It begs the question, to whom is he apologizing? Perhaps to the vice president of their OEM Microsoft, Steven Guggenheim, who stood with him onstage, or to Intel's vice president Sean Maloney? Both were there to strengthen further collaboration with Asustek. But, at least for Microsoft, a Linux netbook in the works has not been high on its list.
As presented, the Qualcomm Eee PC not only looks fantastic, but would come at a markedly better price than the Intel model from Windows, the Eee PC chip is fanless and it plays back 720p videos flawlessly. Microsoft naturally wouldn't want a competitor to ruin its Christmas season and most likely pulled the emergency brake. Acer Inc. should be happy with that, according to Reuters: the world's number three PC brand has already announced an Android netbook for the third quarter of 2009.

The Heritage Foundation's Van Andel Center
This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of the Bulgarian
Government's refusal to expel its Jewish population to Nazi death
camps -- all the more remarkable since Bulgaria was a World War II
ally of Germany. But despite pressure from the highest circles of
Nazi officialdom and the intrigues of their local acolytes,
Bulgaria was the only continental European country in which there
were more Jews at the end of the war than at its beginning.
The Heritage Foundation will memorialize this remarkable event by
showing the film, "Beyond Hitler's Grasp." It will be introduced by
Bulgaria's Ambassador to the United States, the Honorable Elena
Poptodorova, assisted by Princess Maria Luisa, the daughter of King
Boris, Bulgaria's reigning monarch or the time, and by Mr. Arthur
Berger of the Holocaust Memorial Museum. A reception will follow
the showing of the film.

Claiborne: How Long 'Til He 'Makes History'?
It's such a simple statement ... and such an other-wordly goal.
"I want to make history," Morris Claiborne tells CowboysHQ in a 1-on-1 visit ... and maybe his ability to say such a thing marks the beginning of his rebuilding of confidence.
The Dallas Cowboys hopeful star talked with us about his goals for the upcoming season -- something crystalized for him when we relayed to him that running mate Brandon Carr had told us Claiborne has the physical ability to be an elite corner.
"That means a lot coming from him,'' Claiborne said. "In my heart I know the player I can be and the player I want to be. He's right. As long as I stay positive and keep grinding, no one can stop me from what I'm trying to do."
Frankly, injuries can slow the sixth pick in the 2012 Draft from LSU. In part because of his injuries, Claiborne started just seven games in 2013, finishing with 26 tackles, five passes defended, an interception and a fumble recovery. Claiborne says he is physically stronger now than ever before -- and head coach Jason Garrett agrees.
But a lack of confidence in the system can slow Mo, too. Claiborne tells us that in his conversations with defensive boss Rod Marinelli, they've discussed an increase in press coverage befitting Mo's favorite style.
All of this is part of a learning curve -- as frustrating as it is for Cowboys fans and for Mo, too.
So how long is it supposed to take for Mo Claiborne to be a star?
He told us in his rookie training camp that he understands that Dallas -- which ranked him as the top defensive player in that year's draft -- wants him to "come in and play right away" and "be a shutdown corner."
But alas, that's not the way the NFL works.
Can we be specific about the historical learning curve for a cornerback to move from "talent'' to "starter'' to "reputed success" to true "star''? Yes.
Let's use standard NFL honors as the measuring stick: A first Pro Bowl appearance... and then, for the rare player who is an all-time great, the NFL's official All-Decade Teams.
A dozen cornerbacks have earned All-Decade honors for the decades of the '80's, '90's and 2000's. As recognizable as these names are -- and as brilliant as their talent was -- you might be surprised to learn how long it took them to achieve Pro Bowl-level "stardom":
All-NFL Team of The 80's CBs
MIKE HAYNES -- A first-round pick in 1976, the Raiders corner intercepted eight passes to earn All-Rookie honors. He was selected to nine Pro Bowls including a berth as a rookie. So it took him his one NFL season to get recognition.
MEL BLOUNT -- He was an All-Pro selection four times. But his first Pro Bowl didn't come until '75... and he was drafted in '70. Blount sat the bench for almost three years before emerging as a Steelers standout... so it took him six seasons to make the Pro Bowl.
FRANK MINNIFIELD -- He was on the All-Rookie team and later won first-team All-Pro honors from 1987-89. He was a four-time Pro Bowl selection for the Browns, but his first Pro Bowl didn't come until '86... meaning he had to wait three years.
LESTER HAYES -- He entered the league in 1977 and was a first- or second-team All-Pro choice five times. But the Pro Bowl? He didn't make it until 1980... a four-year wait.
All-NFL Team of The 90's CBs
DEION SANDERS -- He entered the league in '89 and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 1994 and is considered the best "cover corner" of all-time. But the Falcons draftee (and then NFL champ with the 49ers and Cowboys) didn't make his first Pro Bowl until '91 -- a three-year wait.
ROD WOODSON -- Another all-timer, named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1993. Woodson earned 11 career Pro Bowl nods after coming into the league in '87... and then waiting until '89 for his first Pro Bowl. A three-year wait.
DARRELL GREEN -- The Redskins great entered the NFL in '83 and made the Pro Bowl in '84 after year two.
AENEAS WILLIAMS -- The Cardinals standout -- according to Troy Aikman second only to Deion as the best CB he ever opposed -- came into the league in '91 and earned first-team All-Pro honors four times. But not until '94 was he a Pro Bowler -- a wait of four years.
All-NFL Team of The 90's CBs
CHAMP BAILEY -- He was drafted by the Redskins in 1999 and made the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2000. A two-year wait.
CHARLES WOODSON -- He was drafted by the Raiders in 1998, was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year for Green Bay a decade later, but was recognized immediately as a stud, making the Pro Bowl after his first season.
RONDE BARBER -- A five-time Pro Bowler for the Bucs, he was drafted in '97 and finally made the Pro Bowl in 2001 -- a five-year wait.
TY LAW -- Drafted in 1996, he qualified for the Pro Bowl in '98. A three-year wait.
Add it up. Those 12 guys -- the greatest cornerbacks of three eras -- needed on average three full seasons before becoming Pro Bowlers. Haynes and Woodson made it after one year, so it's possible to earn recognition right away. But six years for Blount? Four years for Hayes? Three years for Deion?
This is why you wait on Mo Claiborne. His base salary this year is $1,868,591; if he performs at just "starter'' level he's a bargain. Next year his base in the final season of his rookie contract is just $2,567,182; again, $2.5-mil cornerbacks aren't expected to be Haynes or Woodson or Deion.
So there is financial reason for patience. There is a talent level that demands patience, too.
Claiborne can still "make history." But doing so at cornerback takes time.

Wladimir Klitschko Eyes Another Ten Years as Champ
Wladimir Klitschko plans to box on for another decade to break Joe Louis's record as the longest reigning heavyweight champion.
The 38-year-old Klitschko, who has held "world" titles since 2006, will defend his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts against Australian challenger Alex Leapai in Oberhausen, Germany, on Saturday.
Leapai, 34, has a professional record of 30-4-3. He turned professional in 2004. Klitschko's record stands at 61-3, including 51 knockouts. His last defeat was a decade ago.
The Ukrainian, who lives in Germany, has no plans to retire. He says he wants to break the legendary Louis' record of 12 years as a world heavyweight champion. The American was unbeaten between 1937 and 1949.
Klitschko will have to fight for four more years to break that record. He will then be 42 years old.
"I just turned 38, but that's only a number," Klitschko told a German newspaper, Die Welt. "I am still extremely hungry and better than ever. A few years ago, I thought I couldn't improve, but my mission is still a long way from over. I want to box on for ten more years.
"I feel the combination of experience, athletic ability, technique and strategy makes me the complete professional."
Klitschko finds it challenging to prepare for his 65th professional fight while his brother Vitali is in the thick of their country's volatile political situation.
"It's a bizarre situation," said Wladimir. "My body has been training at the camp in Austria, but my mind is often with my brother and our compatriots in Ukraine."

ACCORDING TO ESPN's Brian Windhorst, the Sixers will be involved in the Kevin Love trade between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Windhorst, along with ESPN colleague Marc Stein, reported last week that a trade sending Love to the Cavaliers for Andrew Wiggins, 2013 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round pick is widely regarded around the league as a "when" not "if" deal, with sources saying the Wolves and Cavaliers continue to discuss the prospect of bringing a third team such as the Sixers into the trade.

At noon, current MHS-NEH long-term fellow Margot Minardi, Reed College, offers a brown-bag lunch program exploring her research "American Citizens of the World: The Politics of Peace Reform, 1815-1870." Then at 6:00 PM, former MHS-NEH long-term fellow Michael Hoberman, Fitchburg State University, will discuss his newest publication New Israel / New England: Jews and Puritans in Early America. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and the author will sign books after the program.
Thursday, 1 March, MHS members and fellows are invited to a special event: The Architecture of Edmund March Wheelwright and the Building of the Harvard Lampoon Castle. We have reached capacity for this event.
Friday, 2 March, do not miss Natalie Dykstra, author of Clover Adams: A Gilded and Heartbreaking Life and guest curator of the Society's exhibition on the photography of Clover Adams, as she presents a gallery talk. The one-hour gallery talk begins promptly at 2:00 PM.
And on Saturday, 3 March, all are welcome to enjoy our 90-minute building tour The History and Collections of the MHS. The tour begins in the MHS lobby at 10:00 AM.

"The circumstances have changed among [David Stern's] constituency," Hunter told a group of lawyers Wednesday, as quoted in the Baltimore Sun. "In the last six or seven years, there is a new group of owners to come in who paid a premium for their franchises, and what they're doing is kind of holding his feet to the fire."
