The Scholar Athlete
In the most recent MLBlogosphere Latest Leaders, one particular blog jumped out at me. Ross Ohlendorf of the Pittsburgh Pirates is writing a blog based on his experience working at the US Department of Agriculture during the offseason. This started me thinking about which athletes are the most intelligent, at least in the traditional, intellectual sense.
For instance, Ohlendorf went to Princeton and is now doing research with the USDA but when you offset his intelligence with that of Rickey Henderson, well, at best they cancel each other out. Offensive linemen in football, and especially centers, are noted for their intelligence despite the head knocking they do all day long. As for basketball and hockey, I really have no clue and I won't even hazard a guess.
However, based on zero scientific proof and nothing more than my incredibly suspect intuition, I'm going to say golfers are probably the smartest. Despite Tiger's recent personal flameout and John Daly's entire career, golfers are smart enough to play a sport that doesn't involve getting hit on a regular basis. They walk a lot and exercise like that is good for the mind and body. If that wasn't enough, they can also continue playing well into their later years, bouncing from circuit to circuit as need be. That seems pretty intelligent to me.
But I also have to say that bowlers might be on to something. I mean, practice involves hitting the lanes and rolling some balls. And everyone knows you can't go bowling without at least a pitcher or two of whatever happens to be on tap. All I know is that pretty much anything beats the heck out of driving in circles for hours and never knowing when some guy might ram you at 225 miles per hour. Or, for that matter, working at the USDA.

Flame out.. good choice : ) Thanks guys for supporting YH and moving me into the top group of bloggers in this cool community.
Good job, Allen, bringing back The Far Side. Probably my favorite of Larsen's many gems!
Props to Ohlendorf! Take care.
Sometimes people forget that before guys get to that second year of arbitration they might not ever boost over the $1 million mark in salary.
Not that someone making $450,000 a MLB full season is nothing to sneeze at, but then again I do not have to pay agents, clubhouse attendants and valets.
Could be worse……Ohlendorf could work for Homeland Security…That would be a bummer right now.

Tiger always came across as extremely intelligent but he sure blew it with this last brouhaha. First of all, why must he call the mistress to tell her to change her outgoing message and asap? Dude, if your money can keep you from an embarrassing hospital trip which in turn helps you avoid the police, I think it can buy you a personal assitant who can MAKE CALLS FOR YOU. Fine, maybe that's not a great idea since you'd end up banging her too…so what about your caddy?? You pay him damn good money, have him give her a ringy dingy. How hard is that?
So I guess what you're saying is that I shouldn't wait for roller derby to make a comeback? DAMN!
And to think the Yankees gave up on a genius like Ohlendorf. Stupid is as stupid does! (I can't believe I'm quoting Forest Gump.)
I used to have that exact Far Side cartoon on a sweatshirt. Always guaranteed a larf.

Invasion Of Privacy Or Not..........
Black Box Recorder Behind Your Dashboard
I knew some were around, but I didn't know they were in so many vehicles. I can see putting them in vehicles of people who've been arrested for crashes or other bad stuff involving a vehicle, but for every day Joes like ourselves...............Invasion of privacy I say.
I can see it doing good for accidents, but anything set to be good is always abused.
Another thing that will come into play is traffic light cameras instead of the big cameras set up off to the side of the road at red lights. They'll not have warning signs posted lights are being photographed like they are around here. I do believe our city & next door city is trying a couple areas out. That's just my opinion on the thought.......I'm just waiting to hear I'm right when the time comes.
Internet is already being spied on, you know phone conversations (cell phones) are also.
America, land of the free............yes but no. Our rights are being taken away.
Enough of this jabber from me......back on the article subject.......black boxes in your vehicle.
I think it'll be abused on what the data will show. We should have every right to view our own box record, it's our box in our vehicle, our right......just like the whatcha call it law that says you have the right to view your medical file / records at the Dr office any time you want to.

Think you're the only one having a bad hair day? You're not alone. There are plenty of celebrities that have had them, too.
For instance, there was a time when John Travolta's hair looked like it was painted on his head, almost as if it wasn't real. Hmmmm...
At some point, Courtney Love apparently just completely stopped trying.
By dying only the ends of her hair black and leaving the rest blond, Drew Barrymore came up with an eye-catching look in the fall of 2009, but not in a good way.
Don't look now, but something is attacking Katy Perry's head.
What can we say? Bill Murray is a comedic legend… who apparently doesn't own a comb. Despite that, he still, kind of, makes it work.
Experimenting with streaks of loud colors is what you do when you're a teenager or in your early 20s, but by the time you're in your late 20s, you may want to move on. Right, Avril Lavigne?
Axl Rose should have showed a little less "Patience" for whatever hair stylist talked him into these cornrows back in 2003.
Yes, apparently for a while back in 2003, Scarlett Johansson rocked the female equivalent of a mullet.
Um, yeah… No, Benicio Del Toro. Just, no.
One can usually count on Lady Gaga to make some interesting hairstyle choices.
Like this one, for example.
Phil Spector, seen here at his trial, can do his own before and after hair shedding...
... as seen in his wig-free police mug shot.
Who woke up Lindsay Lohan?
Luckily for Lohan, and Kristen Stewart, the tousled look seems to be in fashion.
If Heather Locklear was upset over getting arrested in 2008, imagine how she felt after seeing her mug shot.
That goes double for Nick Nolte.
And even more so for the late James Brown.
Of course, The Donald always has impeccable hair.
If there's a greasier, stringier mop than Kid Rock's as seen here, we're not sure we want to see it.
It's better than his mullet, but Billy Ray Cyrus' 2009 hair, and we're not just talking his hairdo, just doesn't cut it.
As usual, Helena Bonham Carter leaves us, um, speechless.
We know it's part of her look, but how could we ignore the unkempt hair Kesha often brings to the table?
Even by Carrot Top standards that's some bad hair.
We call this one "The Curious Case of Angelina Jolie's Bob."
Even with all this going on back in 2002, he was still Brad Pitt. So he had that going for him.
Don't ever let Kenny G's stylist near your hair. Just ask Matthew McConaughey.
Ewan McGregor does his best rooster impersonation. Now that you mention it, Colin Farrell's 'do is no walk in the park either.
Nobody ever said Tommy Lee was a master of style and grooming.
Apparently being a pop legend means never having to comb your hair. Right, Elton John?
We had something witty prepared about Don King's style, but his hair ate it.

- Abstract
- Development prospects for northern Australia's resource regions and their constituent settlements can be best understood in terms of their contemporary position within the world economic system and in terms of the role adopted by the state in relation to resource development. The core-periphery concepts contained in the work of Galtung (1971), Wallerstein (1978) and Steiber (1979) have emerged as a useful organizing framework for assessing the relative economic position of different regions or countries (e.g. with respect to economic or social performance measures) and the nature of the interactions or exchanges which occur between and within particular nations. The model of exchange outlined in Figure 1 suggests that within the world market, nations are stratified according to their economic strength. For core societies, their economic diversity and wealth is reflected in the export of large quantities of both raw materials and finished products, with greater emphasis on the latter. Peripheral regions are in a persistent state of underdevelopment, based on an early inability to compete in the world market and subsequent reliance on specialisation in the form of primary industries.

Blugolds avoid repeat of history from last season
When the Aquinas Blugolds went down 1-0 in their sectional semifinal match last Thursday against Pacelli, they were determined not let their 2012 season end like it did in 2011.
"I just kept thinking about the year before, when we lost 1-0 to a team we shouldn't have," says Connor Rademacher. Goalie Patrick Vandenberg shared the same thoughts. "Not again, after last year losing to Columbus on their one shot on goal. I was thinking we better score again, because I did not want my senior season to end that way."
Fortunately for Aquinas, things did not end that way. Chris Paulino tied the score at 1-1 in the 75th minute and Rademacher followed up with the game-winning goal with one-second remaining in the first overtime period.
"I had so much adrenaline, I was just running as fast as I could and I remember Jake tried to grab me and I threw him off and I ran to the bench and they grabbed me. It was such a relief," Rademacher says of his huge goal.
"It was the most intense game I've coached in my high school career and the most excited I've ever been to see a goal go in the net," says Aquinas Head Coach Lucas Eagon.
But that sectional win is behind the Blugolds, who now try to avoid what happened to them the last time they played at state – a 5-0 loss in the WIAA State Championship Match in 2010, a moment many on this year's squad still clearly remember.
"It was pretty embarrassing actually," says Shane Hanna.
Vandenberg, the team's keeper during their last state run, sees what happened two seasons ago as valuable experience. "I know what to expect at state, the caliber of the shooters and how the teams are going to be. I'm more ready for it now."
"I dont think we've played our best soccer yet," says Eagon. "Hopefully the venue and the atmosphere at state will bring that out of these guys."
Aquinas (15-6-2) will face Winnebago Lutheran (18-5-3) in the WIAA Division 3 State Semifinal this Friday at 9 a.m. at Time Warner Stadium at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

(NewsUSA) - Many Americans tell themselves the same thing -- their health goals will have to wait because the timing "isn't right."
But some clichés do ring true -- there really is no time like the present. Don't know where to begin? First, decide what goal you would like to accomplish: running a marathon, losing 20 pounds, eating healthier. Then, decide what steps you will need to take to reach that goal. Determine what you can start doing today. For example, if you want to run a marathon, you shouldn't plan to run 10k on your first outing. Instead, set out to run 10 to 15 minutes. If you can't do that, try a brisk walk instead.
SUCCESS Magazine, a publication that seeks to inspire and inform entrepreneurs and small-business owners, offers these tips for Americans looking to improve their health in one week:
- Day One: Buy a pedometer. The American Heart Association recommends taking 3,000 steps every day. Wearing a pedometer lets you count every step, so figure out where you can fit in more walking while working, shopping or running errands.
- Day Two: Start taking those stairs. Have you noticed that you quickly become out of breath when you walk up steps? Taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator will solve that problem in a matter of weeks, not to mention improve your heart's health. Whether you walk up one flight of stairs or ten, you will still enjoy benefits.
- Day Three: Do calf raises at your desk. Lift your toes, then return to a flat foot, then lift your heels and squeeze your calf muscles. You will pump blood back up your legs, improving circulation.
- Day Four: Give up your parking space. Park farther away from the office, store or gym. The extra walking will quickly add up.
- Day Five. Plan to eat all-natural foods for a day. Instead of processed cereal, make a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. Hummus and cut-up vegetables, or unsalted nuts with fruit make good snacks. For lunch and dinner, choose healthy, whole foods like hearty salads or vegetable-based soups or stews. Stay on the perimeter of the grocery store when you shop.
- Day Six: Take time to relax. Sit down with a good book, take a bath, listen to some favorite music or go out for a relaxing walk. Taking time to decompress and enjoy yourself will reduce your overall stress levels.
- Day Seven: Confuse your dog. When you take your dog out, go for a walk. Alternate between walking for 10 minutes and jogging for two minutes. Slowly increase the amount of time you spend jogging until both you and your pup become runners. No pet? Take a friend instead.

WHAT IS IT? In light of the Josh Lichtle tragedy at the 2011 Red Bud National, interest in heat stroke is at an all-time high. The HyperKewl vest is an evaporative cooling vest designed to keep athletes cooler.
CONTACT? www.techniche-intl.com or (888) 823-2665.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with HyperKewl's Ultra Sport vest.
(1) Tech. The concept of evaporative cooling isn't rocket science. We're reminded of its effectiveness every time we step out of the shower while still wet.
(2) Design. The HyperKewl fabric is made of cellulose fibers, bi-component binders, absorbent polymer fibers and process aids. We don't know what those are, but they sound high-tech. The material is designed to quickly absorb liquid but release it slowly. The vest uses the material on the entire chest and back panels, inside and outside, with mesh panels and a zipper entry on the side.
(3) Comfort. The HyperKewl material is just thick enough to take away the sting of roost, and it works well as a light underprotector. It holds in the moisture and doesn't saturate the things it comes into contact with. This means that it doesn't stick to your skin like a wet T-shirt, and it doesn't wet your jersey and attract dirt.
(4) Use. To use the HyperKewl vest, you soak it in water (ice-chest water was too cold for us), squeeze out the excess, put it on next to your skin, and put your jersey and chest protector over it.
(5) Performance. Techniche claims five to ten hours of cooling per soaking, but that's very optimistic. Our HyperKewl vest stayed damp through long motos on hot days, but we felt that the effective time limit was about one hour for maximum cooling.
(6) Options. The Ultra Sport model is available in all sizes in black, silver or blue.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? Even though we haven't had a failure with the vest, we would opt for a larger, more rugged, easier-to-handle zipper.
A cooling vest has to work extremely well to overcome the mud, wind, and extra layers of clothing and protection involved with motocross. Techniche's Ultra Sport vest met our expectations.

For too many years to count, most out-of-towners, and particularly people who live out of state, have stared at us incredulously when told where we reside.
"B-ville, Texas? Is that short for Brownsville?" has been a popular response.
Numerous deliveries and repair orders have been sent to Bellville, probably because of its proximity to Houston, by mistake.
Then there are those who assume that we are named for the "killer bees" or are the home of giant colonies of plant pollinators and honey collectors.
That would bee close to the truth but not entirely accurate.
There are several beekeepers in the area, taking advantage of the warm weather and native vegetation to produce delightful guajillo honey.
And, unfortunately, we have recorded several instances of killer bee attacks or incidents, the most recent in last weekend's edition when we reported the Mannings' home near Mineral had been invaded by the swarming insects.
Yet, that would bee flying to conclusions and spraying misinformation to a bumbling public.
Lest we drone on... we wish to set the record straight.
Bee County, and Beeville, the county seat, actually were named for Barnard Elliott Bee Sr., who lived from 1787 to 1854. He was an attorney, ambassador, soldier and statesman during the Republic of Texas era.
Bee was a native of South Carolina and was a contemporary of William B. Travis, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, Mirabeau B. Lamar and Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.
Yes, modern history students, that occurred long before World War II, way back when Texas won its independence from the British, or was it France?
If you want to learn more, plan to attend the Bee County Historical Commission's Texas Historical Marker dedication ceremony honoring Bee on Thursday, April 21, at 10:30 a.m. on the north lawn of the Bee County Courthouse.
The guest speaker will be Daniel Bee, a descendant of the Bee family and real estate broker from San Antonio. Refreshments will be served following the ceremony in the second floor courtroom. We don't know whether honey will be on the menu.
Surprisingly though, when traveling to faraway places, it's amazing how often we will run into someone who either used to live in Beeville (often stationed with the Navy at the former Chase Field base), or knows someone (a relative or friend) who resides or resided here.
Perhaps, in the future, more people will know of us because of the presence of the TDCJ, Sikorsky, Eagle Ford Shale discovery or the Texas Mile.
It would be great to be recognized for something other than queens, hives and stingers.

Even though she's long been one of the hottest comedians in the country, Sarah Silverman admits she was a bit of a wreck before getting her voice role in "Wreck-It Ralph." After all, Silverman -- whose non-politically correct and decidedly raunchy brand of humor is enough to make any adult blush -- isn't exactly the first person you'd associate with a kid-friendly Disney film.
"I'm such a huge Disney fan, and just the fact that they wanted me or were willing to have me read the script is so cool. I wanted to cry," Silverman told me in a recent interview. "When people are exposed to one side of you -- even people whose job it is to see beyond that stuff -- you still can get pigeonholed."
Like Silverman, Jack McBrayer ("30 Rock") has done voice roles before, just not for Disney. And like his co-star, he didn't take the opportunity lightly.
"Never in a million years did I anticipate doing a Walt Disney movie. It is so surreal and special, and all of us appreciated that," McBrayer told me in a separate interview. "Not for one minute did any of us take anything for granted."
New in 2D and 3D theaters Friday, "Wreck-It Ralph" takes place in an arcade where Ralph (John C. Reilly) -- a lonesome, 8-bit retro video game character -- comes to the conclusion that he's sick of being the bad guy. Day in and day out, Ralph wrecks the Niceland high-rise apartment complex so all-around good guy Fix-It Felix Jr. (McBrayer) can put it back together and become the hero.
Leaving behind the pile of bricks he calls home to travel across other generations of video games in the hopes of becoming a hero himself, Ralph is suddenly catapulted into candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, where he meets the tiny but feisty Vanellope von Schweetz (Silverman) -- a misfit in the game's world because she's a glitch.
Unfortunately, Ralph's first true friendship may be a short one, since he inadvertently unleashed a deadly enemy on his quest to become a hero. With the help Vanellope, Felix and Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) -- the hard-knocks leader from first-person action game "Hero's Duty" -- Ralph needs to stop the enemy before it destroys everything.
Silverman said director Rich Moore and his crew were not only happy to let his comedic performers improvise in the audio booth, there were times the cast members got to record their dialogue together -- a rare occasion in the animated film world.
"Since I got to record with John C. Reilly, we got to look into each other's eyes and play scenes out and improvise, and I think that it really added that little extra nuance in the dynamic of our characters that you don't necessarily get when people just record alone in a booth," Silverman said. "We would record separate, too, but when we recorded together, we found some new things."
Another big advantage to recording together is the actual physical presence of other actors, which Silverman said was all the more fun because they're all so much like their characters in real life.
"John and I fell in love with each other and became family, just like Ralph and Vanellope," Silverman gushed. "He's just this big, lovable lug of a man. He's so much like Ralph."
"He's a big ol' guy with a huge heart," McBrayer added about Reilly. "Plus, since I did 'Talladega Nights' with him years ago, it was just like hanging out with a good friend."
While Silverman didn't get a chance to work with McBrayer and Lynch as much as she did with Reilly, she loved them just the same. And like Reilly, Silverman said the two were just like their characters … almost.
"The film is cast so well. Jack is the most ridiculously sweet, chipper guy and Jane is totally Sergeant Calhoun although she's much more lovable in person," Silverman said.
While McBrayer appreciated Silverman's comparing him to Felix, he thinks the character may be just a little too ambitious for his own good.
"We share some qualities. I'm a people-pleaser and I love being good at my job, but Felix is a little too above and beyond," McBrayer said, laughing. "He's a little too fixated on fixing stuff."
Silverman, on the other hand, has no problems identifying with Vanellope.
"I felt so connected to that scrappy kid … I think people have babies so they can have a little them and get it right this time, but I got that opportunity in the form of animation," Silverman said. "She's this little girl with a little black ponytail and little thick eyebrows, and I just beam with pride."

Baldwin to be honored Friday
WATERFORD – Doug Baldwin has a luncheon date with destiny Friday.
On that day, at 12:30 p.m., at the Hilton Columbus at Easton Town Center, the longtime Waterford Wildcats' softball coach will be honored and inducted into the Ohio High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
"I'm definitely humbled by being selected to the Hall of Fame," said the 43-year-old Baldwin, who currently owns a 290-164 career mark in 20 years at the Waterford softball helm.
During that time, he has guided the Wildcats to six league championships, 11 sectional crowns and one district title. Last spring, the Cats were a district finalist with a 15-9 overall mark. (Waterford was eliminated by No. 7-ranked Portsmouth Notre Dame.)
"I've had 20 years of a lot of good Waterford kids to work with, and I've been fortunate to have some good coaches at my side," Baldwin said. "You can't be successful without any of that."
Baldwin said he was nominated for the Hall of Fame by rival coach Barb Sleek of Fort Frye.
"I'm very grateful to her," Baldwin said.
When Baldwin begins his 21st season as the Waterford frontman this spring, he will need 10 Wildcat softball victories to achieve milestone 300.
"I'll be very disappointed if we don't win that many games," Baldwin said.
Baldwin said he will have several players back from last season, including junior pitcher Laura Hill.
A 1987 Waterford graduate, Baldwin played football in high school. Later, he returned to his prep alma mater, and was the Wildcat gridiron coach for 13 years.
Along with coaching softball and football, Baldwin was the school's athletic director for four years.
After high school graduation, Baldwin attended Ohio Northern University in Ada, where he received his diploma in 1991.
He has been employed by the Wolf Creek Local School District for 21 years. During that span, he's taught seventh and eighth grade science and high school industrial technology.
Currently, Baldwin is the Waterford Elementary School principal.
Baldwin will be attending the Hall of Fame ceremony with his wife of 15 years Joanna, and three daughters – Emma (12), Claire (6) and Maggie (3).
"My mom, three sisters, and brother will be there, too, along with several people from Waterford," Baldwin said.
Baldwin has served as either the southeast district softball president or vice-president for the past 14 years, and he's also been a Division IV poll voter during that time.
Baldwin is also involved in the Wolf Creek Summer Softball Association and Waterford Girls Youth Basketball Association.
During his free time, he enjoys woodworking and coaching his daugthers in various sports.

Big Screen Berkeley: "Gothic" — a scandalous good time
The late enfant terrible of British film-making, Ken Russell, is perhaps best remembered for bringing nude male wrestling to the movie-going masses (Women in Love) and for producing a film so profane it was virtually impossible to see unexpurgated for 40 years (The Devils). Never a man for half measures, Russell's last feature film was the inelegantly titled Whore (1991), after which he rode off into the sunset via a legendary (and abbreviated) appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2007.
His November, 2011 passing is acknowledged by Pacific Film Archive this Thursday, June 14th at 7:30 pm with a rare screening of one of Russell's late period indulgences, 1986's tribute to drug-fueled creativity Gothic. The film will be preceded by a performance by Brale, a musical group described as "the world's only Ken Russell tribute band".
Filmed at Hertfordshire's magnificent Gaddesden Place, Gothic relates the mythic meeting of minds that helped spawn Mary Shelley's 1818 novel 'Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus'. … Continue reading »

This session's focus is strictly on the contours, lines and proportions of the artworks, mimicking the flat, two-dimensional approach to representation seen in the Buddhist thangka paintings also on display in the show.
Meets in Entrance Gallery | All levels of experience are welcome. Each class is $20 ($16 for members), and space is limited to 18 participants. All materials and admission to the galleries on the day of class are included. | Online registration is required. For further information, contact the Education Department at (626) 844-6980.

Equal attention to Learning Supports is essential so that:
- Every student will demonstrate academic achievement and be prepared for success after high school;
- Every student will be supported by highly prepared and effective teachers and school leaders; and
- Every school will offer a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
Risk Factors
Risk factors are those variables found in individuals, families, communities, schools, and peers that put youth at greater risk of participating in delinquent and risky behaviors or developing mental, emotional, physical or behavioral disorders. For example, a youth exposed to physical and emotional abuse is more likely to develop mental, emotional, physical or behavioral problems than a youth who has not experienced trauma.
Protective factors that promote youth development and foster resiliency can help prevent, lessen, or counteract risk factors.

The "Things That Used To Be Free Aren't Free Anymore" trend in gaming seems to be growing, much to the dismay of non-thousandaire gamers everywhere. For example, industry analyst Michael Pachter is urging Activision to step up and make the first move towards monetizing multiplayer services offered by Triple-A titles.
From an article today on MCV, Pachter says:
"We think that it is incumbent upon Activision – with the most popular multiplayer game – to take the first step to address monetization of multiplayer. It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, micro-transaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty: Black Ops releases."
Oh! Thank you for giving them so many options they can use to nickel and dime us, Michael!
Pachter also said that all the time gamers spend playing the same game over and over again online takes away from the time they could be playing other games, thus, not as many units are being sold and to make up for it, multiplayer should be pay-to-play.
Think this sounds like a bad idea? Would you be mad if Activision suddenly made something that used to be free a paid service?

- fibre1g
- protein2g
- salt0.01g
- 225g unsalted butter, softened
- 100g caster sugar
- 200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 100g ground almond
- 100g strawberry or raspberry jam (about half a jar)
Once available in Britain for just a brief period during the summer, strawberries are now a year…
Put the butter, sugar, flour and almonds into a food processor and whizz until the mixture just comes together and forms a ball. If making by hand, first beat together the butter and sugar, then add the flour and ground almonds. Wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge for at least 1 hr.
Remove the dough from the fridge and knead until it is soft enough to shape and roll. Divide into two even-size balls. Sprinkle a little plain flour over your work surface and roll out one ball of pastry. I find it best to start the rolling myself so that it's even, then let the kids finish it off. The dough should be approximately 5mm thick. Using a star cutter (about 6cm wide) dipped in a little flour to stop it from sticking, cut out as many star shapes as you can. Then lightly knead the dough trimmings together and roll out again. Keep going until you have about 24 stars. Carefully place the stars on a baking sheet, making sure you keep them slightly apart.
Roll out the second ball of dough the same way. Cut out the same-size stars and place them on a baking sheet. Now cut out a small circle in the centre of each biscuit using a small cookie cutter or the end of a large piping nozzle.
Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 and cook the biscuits for 20-30 mins until just golden. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Place a blob of jam onto the centre of the biscuits without the cut-out circle. Be generous – you want the jam to show at the edges as well as the centre. Place the top halves of the biscuits on and push down gently. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Just in case I'm not the only person who have forgotten...this is a shortbread biscuit. I was very surprised after adding lots of flour and fiddlingfro ages with the wet dough, to open the oven door and taste shortbread.
However, the biscuits seem tasty, even if mine ended up being rather thick. I have not yet filled them so haven't tasted the final made-up jammie dodgers.
These were easy to make and ended up looking great.
I found my mixture was quite wet when I put it in the fridge, but added some flour afterwards and it seemed to sort its self out.
The mixture seemed a bit aukward to cut when too thin but ok if a bit thicker. The thinner biscuits were also a bit delicate when cooked.
I extended the cooking time to around 40 mins.
All in all a good recipie and they looked nice.

RFW salutes class of 2013
Rhonda's FooteWorks will salute its class of 2013 graduating dancers in its Friday, May 17th recital. There will be a 5:00 p.m. reception in the lobby of the Dulles State Office Building, followed by award presentations and a slide show at 6:00 p.m. The curtain will rise on a special recital featuring the graduating seniors and company dancers receiving fond farewells as they will be moving over the summer. The show also features Rhonda's FooteWorks reknowned Outreach Company performances. Rhonda's FooteWorks graduating seniors are: Bethany Gore is a senior at Gouverneur High School. She has been dancing since age 3. Bethany has been dancing with Rhonda since she was seven years old. Her favorite styles are ballet, lyrical, jazz, and modern. Bethany co- choreographed her school's middle school musical of "Once Upon This Island". She also taught dance classes to 3 to 7 year olds from July to February in the Gouverneur community as part of Rhonda's FooteWorks community outreach program. In the summer of 2012, Bethany attended the Rebecca Kelly Ballet Intensive study at Potsdam College. She has been a member of the Rhonda's FooteWorks Outreach Company since age 7, and is graduating as a performer with the Elite Company level. Bethany is also on her school's track team. Bethany will be attending Wells College with a major in Bio- Chem and a minor in Dance. She then plans to go to graduate school to study Forensics. Rachel Sophia Sousa is a senior at Sackets Harbor Central School. In the fall, she plans to attend Marymount Manhattan College in New York City to major in Theatre Performance and minor in Musical Theatre. Rachel has a vast musical theater history in our community as a member of Ticia Marra's Stage Notes. She became a dancer at Rhonda's FooteWorks to become a "Triple Threat" and worked hard in the past year to achieve that goal. Some of Rachel's favorite RFW memories include Access Broadway 2012, where she and Madi Draper were named Broadway Stars and were awarded Access Broadway Workshop Professional Scholarships and being invited to sing at RFW events. She will recall "being fierce" with Miss Bree, and all the times that the RFW girls helped her grow as a new dancer. She would like to give a special thank you to Rhonda Foote and her staff for a memorable dance season. Maeve McCullouch is a senior at Carthage High School. She has been dancing since she was 7 years old. She started dancing with Rhonda again last year and is happy to be part of the RFW Family again. She also enjoys dancing with the Carthage Dance Company. She has also been in various productions throughout High School. Maeve will be attending Siena College this fall for liberal arts. She is going to miss her dance family, but will always remember the memories and laughs shared with everyone! Maria Bufalini is a senior at Watertown High School and has danced with Rhonda's FooteWorks for many years. She began dance with Joanne's Northern Lights at age four. Over the years she has taken ballet, lyrical, tap, jazz, and gymnastics (but tap is her favorite!) . Maria has gone to the Access Broadway Competition three times and is grateful to have had so many learning and performing opportunities, thanks to Rhonda. She is a member of the National Honor Society at WHS, plays the piano and alto saxophone, and has been a member of the All-State Jazz, All-East, and All-National vocal honor ensembles. She is also an accomplished ice skater. She would like to thank her family and Rhonda for all of their love and support. Maria will be attending Syracuse University in the fall to major in the BFA Musical Theater program. Cheyenne Shupp is a senior at Carthage High School. She enjoys theatre and dance. Throughout High School she has been in various theatre productions. Some of her favorite productions include "The Drowsy Chaperone" and "Little Women". She has only been dancing for the past two years with Rhonda's and also with the Carthage Dance Company. After high school she will be majoring in theatre at Messiah College.

- Title
- Elasto-plastic finite element method based on incremental deformation theory and continuum based shell elements for planar anisotropic sheet materials
- Author(s)
- Yoon, J. W.; Yang, D. Y.; Chung, K.
- Abstract
- An implicit approach for the incremental analysis of planar anisotropic sheet forming processes is developed based on the incremental deformation theory. The incremental deformation theory based on the minimum plastic work path enables convenient decoupling of deformation and rotation by the polar decomposition. The mathematical description of a constitutive law for the incremental deformation theory is obtained from the flow theory along the minimum plastic work path. The resulting constitutive law is then incorporated in an elasto-plastic finite element analysis code. In the elasto-piastic formulation, continuum based resultant (CBR) shell element is employed. The CBR shell allows large rotation and large membrane/bending strain. The laminar coordinate system is taken to coincide with planar anisotropic material axes. Then, planar anisotropic axes during deformation are updated using a newly developed algorithm based on the polar decomposition. An iterative solving method based on the incremental deformation theory is also developed for an accurate and stable stress integration. The planar anisotropy is incorporated into the formulation for sheet forming by introducing non-quadratic Barlat's yield function. For verification purposes, two examples have been simulated and compared with experimental results. The good verification results show that the present elasto-plastic formulation for planar anisotropic sheet materials can provide a good theoretical basis for more extended analyses of sheet forming processes.

Overseas Births, Marriages and Deaths: Records in The National Archives
There is no single place to find all the birth, marriage and death records of the British overseas. However, The National Archives holds a substantial number of them, in a variety of record collections. This talk looks at civilian and military registers kept by the British authorities, and by churches, consulates and other bodies abroad. Please note that this talk does not include events at sea, which are the subject of a separate talk. Speaker Keith Mitchell joined The National Archives ten years ago and specialises in overseas birth, marriage and death records.

Comments: If you play hockey outdoors, whether on concrete or asphalt, there is no better way to go than the KOHO 250. It is the most cost-effective and durable stick out there. I had briefly switched to the Reebok Ultimate when the 250s weren't available and while I did like them more (lighter weight) now that Reebok is no longer making them I am pleased that I have this stick to go back to.
From: Paul, Somers Point, NJ
Comments: I wasn't sure about this stick when I ordered it. I was used to a different curve but, I figured what the heck. I was able to use it recently on a few roller hockey pick up games and absolutely love it. I would recommend this stick to anyone. I am very pleased with it and will be purchasing it again in the future.
From: Libby, CA
Comments: I use this stick on an outdoor basketball court for our pickup games weekly, and Tuesdays and Thursdays for Inline Roller Hockey.. I will continue to buy this stick at this price. Excellent stick for the price.
From: Rob, NC
Comments: : I love this stick, The Price is Right and it holds up very well to outdoor use.
From: Mike, MD
Comments: I didn't buy this through Inline Warehouse, but it holds up decently for outdoor use (I use it on black top).
From: Drew, Des Moines, Iowa
Comments:I bought this stick at a local hockey store for $25 and it is even cheaper on here. I'm ordering another one today. The stick's shaft is a little skinnier than other wooden shafts so it is easy to handle. It also feels lighter than other wooden sticks I have used. The curve on it is pretty ridiculous as well. I play about three times a week outdoor and this stick has lasted me about six months. The blade is a little more than an inch tall at the shortest point now. So, it is finally time to replace it. I would definitely recommend this stick.
From: Andrew
Comments:I just got my stick and went out to use it today. I love it. In fact, my buddy needs a new stick and he is purchasing this one as soon as he gets home.
From: Alan, Chico
Comments:this stick is awesome...i use it for outdoor use, lasts forever. take my word and buy it you won't regret it.


text: Where do Conspiracy Theories come from? Why are there more now then ever? LincolnGenghis posted:5/3/2013 10:38:49 PM I think the real question would be why are there not more of them? Part of the problem I believe does have to do with large corporations taking over all of our television, radio and printed news with those same corporations having a vested interest in or lack there of in real news. They do have a real questionable relationship with the government. I think with the lack of real old school investigative journalism and the lack of freedom and backing for those people to honestly report on the news, it has left a huge vacuum of unanswered questions and half truths. This vacuum will always be filled in by questionable sources. The bigger the vacuum, the more dirt it sucks up and processes. I came across a great documentary that was well put togather and does answer many questions about the downfall , corruption and takeover of mainstream media. If you are going to watch it you better watch it quick. It is being offered up as a free stream through Link TV only until the 7th of May. The Documentary is about 1.5 hours long.

Cottage on the Caney and Other Adventures
So, my wife and I rented the "Cottage on the Caney" on the way to Lancaster (I think it's down from what you guys call "The Steps"). I couldn't get the lady to return my calls or my e mails (apparently she had the wrong e mail address for me), so my wife and I got a REALLY late start out of Nashville. Ran into a HUGE traffic jam Friday afternoon and had to detour through Lebanon. Finally made it, but it was too late to fish. I would have left that morning around 10:00am, but since I didn't have any way of getting into the cottage, we waited in case she was perhaps going to meet us there (didn't sound right to me either, but it was worth a shot). We get to the cabin and there is no way to get in, but that back screen door is open and there is a hole where the screen had been pushed in. So, logically (yeah right) I thought: "Maybe she left the backdoor open." Well, the back door was loose and I could see in and noticed a nice little boom box by the back door, but no TV (My wife was concerned about the TV). We left and I called the lady on my cell and left a message. About 1/4 of the way back to Nashville, she calls and we figure out she had the wrong e mail for us. She gives me the code. We go back. As I'm opening the door, I hear tow guys tearing *** away from the bank in a canoe and look over the rail to see them paddling like crazy. I go in and the door to the screened porch is open and the boom box is gone! So, I called the lady to let her know. She acted very put out by me calling her again and I'm thinking "Geesh lady, sorry to call you and tell you you've been robbed." Long story short, I had a miserable first day. Went fishing the next day. Fished for 4 hours to get three dry strikes (light cahill and orange elk hair caddis) and one or two on my midge dropper. Tried fishing an orange tellico and a green wooly bugger, but no luck. Some lady was with a guide down from me and the three of us were the last in the area. She caught two before I left (took about two hours?) and I think she may have been using a clouser, but I couldn't tell for certain. I think it was her first day on the river and she seemed to be having a good time. It was nice to see a newbie (Like I'm mister experience!) have a good time. I had fun watching her catch her first fish, but was exhausted and went back to the cabin (I should have asked her what she was using). About 10:00pm, I decide to let my dogs loose. My lab runs down the hill and disappears in the dark. I walk down to the edge to call for him. I can hear him and he's whimpering. I can barely make out a huge log near the bank and begin to get worried that he may drown (he's pretty dumb this dog). I thought I had about 10 feet to go to the edge, so I ease closer to the edge...One step...two steps...three step WHOOSH! I fell about 10 feet straight down the bank. It was a clean drop off with no hope of stopping myself ( from the top of the hill in the daytime, it looked like a steep bank, not a stinkin' cliff). I hit rock and logs and roll another 5 or 10 feet to the water. I get up and I've pulled a muscle in my shoulder. I have bruised my back and I'm scratched up all over and have a knot on my head the size of a golf ball. I call my wife on my cell and get her down to the bank. I lift my 95lb dog up over my head to the bank and my wife drops me a blanket and uses it to help pull me out. I was too sore to go fishing today, so we left. I'm getting too old for this.
You okay, buddy? What a rough time... Me, my friend, and my dad floated from the dam to Happy Hollow today and we did really good actually. I fly fished the entire time except for the areas that were too deep to fish, I couldn't stand watching them catch fish when I couldn't with my fly rod. I easily caught the most fish of us

Glad somebody had fun May weekend was awful...I was standing down by the steps going to Lancaster. I was wearing an orange vest/daypack vest (not certain what you call that thing. I was out near the beds where all the wild flowers were growing...Had on an old timey brwon fishing hat.
Sorry to hear that man... I believe we did pass someone weaing orange, there were 3 fly fishermen down at Lancaster and when we asked how they were doing they all said they had just arrived.

Also his sisters, Margaret Miller, of Brunswick, Maine, and Carla Rensenbrink and her husband, John, of Topsham, Maine. He was predeceased by his parents, Raymond and Eleanor Washburne, of Williamstown, Mass.

A memorial service will be held at Bethany Church, 115 Main St., Montpelier, Tuesday, May 14, 2013, at 2 p.m.

I don't think you people understand, I am taking requests from "You" LoL, I'm open to request so request away!
Nice work akamu. I think you would also make a good mod. Im very jealous that junior mint got that sig first. Thats the greatest sig i have ever seen....im gonna sign off now and except my loss
This one is hard, but here it goes:
1) Zach Randolph
2) width 620 Height 196
3) Orange and blue background with the Knicks logo
Jeremon Linbury
Jeremon Linbury
sg-kobe bryant
sf-ron artest
C-marcus camby
I dont really have a favorite powerforward but some of the ones i like are tim duncan, zach randolph (I lost), David West, and amare stoudamire who i believe is considered a center but he might be listed as a power forward next year because of the shaq acquisition.
hahah, I got a bunch of these, I got it from another forum though upon request, I'll post some up, and ya' can have the Marbury one if ya like
It wouldn't hurt to put your favorite player as your avatar or on your signature will it?
and...*drum roll*
sorry rady if i crossed any lines by posting players on different teams
Just one thing about the size, 620 is way to big for a forum sig. I'd suggest to keep the size limit at the following
[Zach Randolph Sig Done:] (Member = ABCD)This one is hard, but here it goes:
1) Zach Randolph
2) width 620 Height 196
3) Orange and blue background with the Knicks logo
(620 x 196)
(520 x 164)
(430 x 110)
Rady lol, ok can we agree with 520 x 164 being the max size? 430 x 110 seems just a tad too small, (well depending on your screen resolution) to me anyhow and not fun to work on real small sigs like that. (Examples Above)<hr style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> Just one thing about the size, 620 is way to big for a forum sig.

I have noticed a couple of recent letters to the editor calling for respect toward those in political office.
That's all well and good; there needs to be more respect in society, but it needs to be earned.
Respect is cheapened when it is not deserved. When it is given unearned to someone who demands it, it is downright worthless.
So should politicians and other government employees be shown respect? Well, sure, the same respect that is due everyone alive is also due to them. But no extra respect is due them simply because of their job.
And respect is a two-way street.
I get really angry at people who show a lack of respect toward waiters or cashiers. Just because they are acting as our servants — working to serve us at that moment — it is no reason to treat them with contempt or indifference. They are still our equals.
As human beings our servants deserve our respect, until the moment they fail to respect those they serve or otherwise do something to lose it.
This is particularly true for those in political office. It seems they invariably forget they are to be the servants; the hired help.
These chronically ungrateful servants order their masters around. They steal from us and demand to be treated with respect as they do so. They impose and enforce illegitimate "laws" that violate our fundamental human rights. They bark orders and then attack when their orders are not obeyed instantly.
Only a fool would keep such a servant employed. No one deserves less respect than this kind of servant.
It is an upside down relationship we see in America today, where the servants have the masters convinced they are in charge, and through intimidation and draconian enforcement, have scared the majority of the masters into forgetting who serves whom.
As long as we, their bosses, let them get away with it the situation will only get worse.
Don't ever forget: You outrank the president. You are the master holding the leash of every Supreme Court justice. Every congressperson, mayor, sheriff, police officer, or government bureaucrat works at your pleasure.
They are like the butler and are obligated to do your will — and have zero authority to act as your superior in any situation. Especially when they are repeatedly caught with their fingerprints in your vault, and all over your stolen liberty.
The authority is yours — use it.

Yanks-BoSox, Let The War Begin…
Game On!
Julia of Julia's Rants has challenged me to a duel!
The New York Yankees play the Boston Red Sox for a three game series at Fenway Park in Boston beginning Friday, April 24, 2009. If the Yankees take the series, Julia has to change her website banner to show the Yankees logo. Conversely, if the BoSox take the series, I will have to sport the dreaded Red Sox emblem on this site.
But, let the record show that Julia has the unfair advantage of home field! But it is her birthday weekend, so I suppose some concessions must be made…
I am wondering what Julia's site will look like…
Julia's Rants
My feelings about the
Boston Red Sox New York Yankees, baseball, sports and life in general.
Sweet! 🙂
This bet actually reminds me of an ongoing bet that I have had with a friend in Tampa named Kelly. Kelly has been a devout Devil Rays, excuse me, Rays fan for many years.
She was a season ticket holder for Rays games when getting a root canal was preferable to going to Tropicana Field. She likes to get her season tickets in the upper balcony, and there were often times that you would need binoculars just to see the person sitting next to you.
For several years, the bet has been about bragging rights.
For each series played during the season, the winner has bragging rights until the next series is played. Whichever team takes the season series has bragging rights throughout the off-season, and the other person is powerless to retaliate.
When the bet was first made, I had the advantage of the high and mighty Yankees against the lowly, pathetic then Devil Rays. Of course, tables were turned on me last season, and I had to reluctantly take what I had been giving for so many years. Fortunately for me, the Yankees went out and spent $423.5 million in the off-season, so hopefully, I'll be able to return to my "perch" again this year!
Actually, Kelly let me know that I had a thing or two to learn about "bragging" as she showed me how it is really done!
It's going to be a very exciting summer in the American League East…
Manny Is Officially From Another Planet
Manny Ramirez has turned down the Dodgers for the fourth time. I thought the latest offer was very generous given the current state of the economy. Plus, it isn't exactly like there are teams beating down the door to sign Manny.
A quick scan of the Los Angeles Times' Business section shows the following headlines:
- GM posts $9.6-billion quarterly loss
- Source: U.S. on verge of deal to boost its stake in Citigroup
- Student loan companies' shares plunge on Obama proposal
- U.S. banks post collective $26.2-billion quarterly loss
- Weak healthcare stocks drag market lower
- The sun sets on the Rocky Mountain News
- 667K new jobless claims; continuing claims top 5M
- AIG could be broken up
- Economy still going south
I feel that Manny is proving to be very selfish, and we are seeing the true player that exposed himself in Boston. It is a very unfortunate situation, and the Los Angeles Dodgers deserve better.
On a side note, that is sad news about the closure of the Rocky Mountain News, which became Denver's first newspaper on April 23, 1859.
Other Tidbits for a Friday…
Admittedly I do not follow the PGA very closely, but who is Tim Clark and how did he beat Tiger Woods?…
The Minnesota Vikings should be announcing later today that they have acquired QB Sage Rosenfels from the Houston Texans. I am not sure how I feel about the acquisition. Granted, I do not think that Tavaris Jackson is the answer, and Gus Frerotte is getting too old. I really like Matt Cassel, but when the New England Patriots placed the franchise tag on him, it removed him as a possibility as the cost to acquire him would be so great. Picking up someone like Jeff Garcia or even Michael Vick is equally unappealing. There just doesn't seem to be any viable answers out there, so perhaps Rosenfels is the best option available. The cost to acquire Rosenfels is reasonable (fourth round draft pick, and contract extension of three years for $9 million). Like Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner, Rosenfels hails from Iowa. He was born in Maquoketa, IA, and played college football at Iowa State. Given that I also grew up in a small Iowa town, I can relate to Sage and Kurt (well, except for the part about the million dollar contracts…and okay, the superior physical conditioning…and, I know, the heighth of the players…). Hopefully, Sage can have some of the success that Kurt has experienced. His stock was very high after the 2007 season, but the bloom lost much of its luster this past season when he went 2-3 filling in for injured QB Matt Schaub.
The Phoenix Suns, minus star Amare Stoudemire, have now suffered blowout losses to the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers within the past week. The Suns were also without Steve Nash in the loss to the Lakers, but this has been a very disappointing season. The Suns, if they make the play-offs, look like they'll suffer another first round exit…
On the bright side, the San Jose Sharks beat the Ottawa Senators last night, 2-1. The Sharks were powered by two power-play goals by Milan Michalek and Patrick Marleau, which were scored 1:18 apart in the second period. The Sharks, 42-9-9, lead the Western Conference by 5 points over the Detroit Red Wings.
Have a great weekend everybody!

I have no worries about losing Scott! But may I add to our wager – in addition to changing our "headline" for a day – you…I mean the loser of the wager……needs to put the other team's logo at the top of that Monday's post so that it will be there for posterity! I mean I know that on that Tuesday you'll be changing your headline back! :-D! Have a great weekend and listen to Kelly! If not I'll have to teach you about bragging! I'm going to have a really great birthday this year. Oh – and your Vikings are not getting our Cassel!
Well, you've gone and done it now, Scott. You put more pressure on the Yanks in that Red Sox series at Fenway than they already had. Now they HAVE to win or you'll be eating crow for a long, long time!
Sorry but I'm cheering for Julia. I think it would be harder for me to change the background to the Rays. I mean the Yankees don't stand a chance this year. And that is my birthday week too!

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.

"I offer no sacrifice save to the One true God."
~ Maximus, martyr, saint, about A.D. 250, in answer to the demand of the civil authorities for sacrifice to the pagan gods; a test in common use as belief in a single Godhead was known to be definitive in the early Christian community; thus any Christian might be called on to seal with his blood his faith in the One God.
