Toss the chicken thighs in half the spices and a pinch of salt until completely coated. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan with a lid. Fry chicken, skin-side down, for 10 mins until golden brown, turn over, then cook for 2 mins before removing from the pan. Pour the rest of the oil into the pan, then fry the onions and garlic for 8 mins until golden. Stir in the rest of the spices, then cook for 1 min longer. Pour over the chicken stock and scatter in the olives. Bring everything to the boil, turn down the heat, then sit the chicken, skinside up, in the stock.
Cover the pan with a lid, then simmer gently for 35-40 mins until the chicken is tender. Put the kettle on, then lift the chicken onto a plate and keep warm. Take the pan off the heat. Stir the lemon juice and couscous into the saucy onions in the pan and top up with enough boiling water just to cover the couscous if you need to. Place the lid back on the pan, then leave to stand for 5 mins until the couscous is cooked through. Fluff through half the parsley and the lemon zest, then sit the chicken on top. Scatter with the rest of the parsley and zest before serving.
Whole stone-in olives have a better flavour than pitted ones, so will improve the finished dish. For a punchier flavour add 1 finely chopped preserved Moroccan lemon and stir it into the stock before adding the couscous.

Made this over the weekend and was really impressed with just how tasty it was for such a simple dish. The only tweak I made was that I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs so cooked them for a slightly shorter amount of time and I chopped the olives as they aren't my favourite thing so prefer smaller bits of them throughout rather than big whole ones. I served some nice green vegetables on the side and it was polished off by myself and my husband in no time.
I like the recommendation of adding chickpeas so might try that next time.
A very versatile dish which will appear again and again on my weekly menu plan.
Love making this, so quick and easy. I've added chickpeas the last couple of times I've made this which adds a great texture to the dish. A good tip is when frying the thighs skin side down to do them on a medium/high heat to make the skin super crispy as it can go a bit soggy and fatty when boiling.
An easy and satisfying comfort food on a cold night. I always skin chicken pieces when cooking a one-pot, otherwise the dish becomes greasy and very high in fat. The thighs were still juicy and moist. I added 5 cloves, 6 green cardamoms, a stick of cinnamon broken up, a handful of raisins, cashews and dried apricots, and 2 small sweet potatoes, cubed into 2" pieces. Made a very filling dinner with leftovers for tomorrow!
Excellent!! This is the first recipe I've tried from this site and I cannot get enough. I have made this about 6x's. The 1st time, I followed the recipe to a T. The second time, I added peas (instead of olives) and cayenne for a little heat. I also made a tzatziki sauce for the side and it was divine! I have also made this with chicken drummies and lamb meatballs. In fact. I am having it for dinner tonight! So easy and delicious and sure to impress your guests!
This is a great mid-week dinner. I used pitted green olives instead of whole and the flavour was quite distinct and really added to the dish. I've tried with bone-in and boneless chicken thighs and think I'll use boneless from now on - it just makes it an even quicker meal. Served with a green salad

Encodings, or: Validating UTF8
Contrary to what some people expect, not every file is valid UTF8. This means that if you mess up and mangle your encodings, the files may get rejected or cause problems with various software, such as the CurseForge packager or WoW. ==Notation== Most numbers are in decimal; byte values displayed as AB CD are hexadecimal. ==Encodings in a nutshell== At the most fundamental level, computers encode information in chunks called ''bytes'' (or more precisely, octets; we shall assume that bytes are 8 bits). Most encodings just use one byte per character. This means there are 256 ''code points'' that can be mapped to ''characters'' (or digits, punctuation, Kanji, runes, whatever -- we'll call them characters). While there are dozens of encodings still in use, the following are especially important to this discussion: * '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII ASCII]''' is the basis of most western encodings today. Due to its 7-bit heritage, it only maps 128 code points: 0-127. * The '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859 ISO 8859]''' family of encodings are the most frequently used western encodings. Its parts 1–15, known also as "Latin-1" etc., are very widely used. Code points 0-127 agree with ASCII; the rest are used for various characters, such that it is possible, e.g., to type most western European languages in Latin-1. : And here's the first catch: ''the Latin-N encodings do not cover all 256 code points''. Specifically, 128-159 are ''unassigned''. The encodings formally known as ISO-8859-1 etc. (note the extra dash) assign control characters to this range, but see below. * '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 Windows-1252]''' in turn is a superset of ISO Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1), which maps printable characters into the range 128-159. This means it is ''not'' ISO-8859-1 (note the dash) compatible! As the name suggests, it is in wide use on western European Windows installations. But 256 possible characters are quite restrictive. For example, it is not possible to write Chinese or Japanese in their native writing systems (by a wide margin). Along came '''Unicode''' and the '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Character_Set UCS]''' (Universal Character Set, formally ISO 10146), which intends to provide characters for ''all'' writing systems in use on the Earth. This also means that a different mapping to bytes has to be used. Common variants include: * '''UTF-16''', which uses two bytes (16 bits) per character and thus limited the original standard to 65536 code points (more are possible with escape codes). * '''UTF-32''', which uses four bytes per character and allowed the second version of the Unicode standard to move beyond the 65k limit. (Unicode now has "room" for 1.1 million characters.) * The UTF-1/7/8 transformations, of which '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 UTF-8]''' is by far the most commonly used. Unicode notably includes all of Latin-1 on the 256 lowest-numbered code points, which also means that it contains all ASCII characters on the same code points as in ASCII itself. UTF-16/32 unfortunately require special support from software to be handled sanely. For example, the 'A' character would be encoded in (little-endian) UTF-32 as the bytes 41 00, and a lot of unprepared software will choke on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_character null byte]. '''UTF-8''' circumvents this problem by guaranteeing the following properties: * All ASCII code points (i.e. 0–127) map to the corresponding ASCII bytes (i.e. 0–127). * All other code points map to a ''series of bytes'', all of which have values in the range 128–255. * No encoding of a character is contained in a (longer) encoding of another character. * No encoding contains FE or FF. This means that it is ASCII-compatible in the same sense that Latin-1 is: software that expects input to be "ASCII and maybe some higher bytes" will be able to cope with it. However, ''not all byte sequences are valid UTF-8''. The details are linked to the last three properties: roughly speaking, 00–7F correspond to ASCII, C2–F4 are legal at the start of a multibyte sequence, and 80–BF constitute the rest of the multibyte sequence. (There are some exceptions.) F5–FD are currently invalid, but reserved for 5- and 6-byte sequence leaders if UCS ever introduces more characters. ''Other combinations of these bytes are invalid.'' This concludes the general remarks. You should remember the following points: '''Summary:''' ASCII only maps half the possible byte values. Latin-1, Win-1252 and UTF-8 are all different supersets of ASCII. UTF-8 can encode every language in use. Not every sequence of bytes is valid UTF-8. ==Encoding detection and BOM== Unicode provides a special means to detect the specific encoding (and endianness) that a file was written in: the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark Byte-Order Mark] (BOM). This is just the special code point (U+FEFF) which is invisible as a character (it is a zero-width non-breaking space), but serves to distinguish the encodings via its byte representation: * EF BB BF for UTF-8, * FF FE for little-endian UTF-16, * FF FE 00 00 for little-endian UTF-32, etc. Thus, a file can be marked as UTF-8 simply by putting a BOM at the very beginning. When the file is erroneously interpreted as a different encoding, the BOM will usually appear as three garbage bytes. Many programs also use a heuristic to detect UTF-8, exploiting the property that not all byte sequences are valid: simply attempt to decode the file as UTF-8; if that fails, it's probably Latin-1. ==How does this affect my addon?== Because Unicode can express all languages, WoW and WAR both want their addon files to be encoded in UTF-8. Now this would be the end of the story, if there weren't so many brain damaged (or simply outdated) editors out there that are encoding unaware, and will happily trash anything that goes beyond ASCII. Before the advent of UTF-8, this wasn't so bad; many files would simply look wrong if read with the wrong encoding, but in any half sane editor, the damage was limited. But with UTF-8, it's a different story: suppose you open a file encoded in UTF-8 in an editor which treats the contents as Latin-1. Now you cut&paste some text, perhaps containing umlauts, into it. What happens? Most likely the editor will happily save the Latin-1 bytes into the file. Remember that not all byte sequences are valid UTF-8? The file is now ''most likely corrupted''—the author has yet to see a UTF-8 (non-ASCII) byte sequence that makes sense in Latin-1 (in any language); conversely, nothing that makes sense is valid UTF-8! To fix such corruption, you need to identify the offending bytes (see the next section). Then attempt to guess the encoding they are in, usually Win-1252 is a good starting point, look up what characters they represented, then insert those characters with a UTF aware editor. Other sources of badly encoded files are more obvious; for example, the author helped debug one case where the Lua sources were generated by a PHP script that simply used Latin-1 output. '''Summary:''' Editing a UTF-8 encoded file in a non-UTF-aware editor will most likely leave it invalid. ==Checking for valid UTF-8== This is not easily possible with tools that are provided with Windows. You can, however, install the [http://www.python.org Python] programming language, open an interactive Python window and use the following commands: >>> s = open(r"c:\path\to\file").read() >>> s.decode("utf8") This loads the entire file into RAM and attempts to decode it as UTF-8 (into the internal unicode representation of your Python interpreter, most likely UTF-32). If the result is a long string containing the file contents, all is well. However, if the file is not valid, you will get a message along these lines: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 13-14: invalid data Unless you have an editor that can jump to a certain byte position, you can slice a bit of the string to get some context: >>> s[10:20] 'kc\x1c\xd6\x00\x82^\xff\xff\xff' (In this case, the author just used a bzip2 compressed file to provoke the error.) ==Closing remarks== Note that it is generally a bad idea to debug encoding problems over the internet. Pastebins are especially useless: the posting browser, the pastebin software and the viewing browser all have a chance to switch encodings, and they usually do. Mails are slightly better, but some MUAs are broken too. Similarly, IRC provides few guarantees, though many clients (with the notable exception of the widely used mIRC) now default to UTF-8. If you must discuss such byte-level issues, the most reliable tool is a hex dump. OS X and Linux users can use the powerful xxd utility. On Windows, you can resort to Python (if you installed it for the last section), and use its own string representation which encodes the problematic characters as in '\xAB'.

For a few weeks, a mountain of sand has been sitting on the side of a Kailua road.
Some say it's an eyesore and even a health hazard.
The huge mound of gray sludge is material dredged from Kaelepulu Stream, mostly from under a bridge near Kailua Beach Park.
"That material had accumulated over a period of time and it's part of our maintenance to make sure that the stream is able to flow properly and that the bridge is not overloaded by the amount of weight sitting on top of the footings for the bridge," said Ross Sasamura, director of facility maintenance for the city and county of Honolulu.
The city says all this sand was left here because it needs time to dry out, and that has left an unpleasant smell.
Sasamura said, "We can't transport the wet material that might leak water out, leach water out while we're transporting it because that wouldn't be appropriate."
Which means our recent wet weather is delaying the big move.
Kailua resident Paul Perry said, "Whatever they're doing, hopefully it's for some good and it'll be done soon. Just got to deal with it."
While some are just running by the issue, others say it's a pile of problems.
"Don't leave it here. This is extremely unsightly. The germs that from the stream, sitting here, it's very unhealthy," Kailua resident Lynn Kay said.
The city says it doesn't know of any safety hazards.
"However, I would say that you would use the same caution when coming in contact with the material that you would in just walking across Kaelepulu Stream cause that's basically what was lying at the bottom," Sasamura added.
"Depending on other needs and other uses for fill material, the city may reuse it. Otherwise, it'll be taken to the landfill."
This dredging is separate from another sand-moving project on the beach near the mouth of Kaelepulu Stream.

BSC Foundation Establishes "The Pillars" to Recognize Planned Giving Donors
CreatedWednesday, April 29 2009
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—The Bluefield State College Foundation will posthumously honor donors who made gifts to the College through their estates in a brief ceremony and reception on Friday, May 15, 2009 at 4 pm in the Study Lounge of the Wendell G. Hardway Library. Alumni who have indicated that they will make testamentary gifts, including Carl and Selba Boyd, will also be recognized as charter members of The Pillars, the BSC Foundation's planned giving society.
The BSC Foundation was created in 1969 with a bequest of $15,000 from Lola M. Mack, a 1929 alumna and former faculty member of Bluefield State College. Mrs. Mack earned a Masters Degree of Education from the University of Cincinnati and was the President of the Women's District of Grand Worthy Counsellors of the Order of Calanthe of West Virginia. She also was an entrepreneur who owned real estate in Bluefield and Charleston, West Virginia, and formed the Excelsior Cosmetics Company.
The ceremony will also recognize the late Othello Maria Harris-Jefferson, a BSC faculty member who made the largest bequest gift to date of $140,000. The Student Center at BSC is named in her honor. The Pillars will also induct as charter members Mrs. Katharine Baker Tierney, Billy G. Moore, Daniel S. Stevens and Bertha Underwood.
Individuals who have included the BSC Foundation in their wills or other estate plans are encouraged to contact Karen Harvey, Executive Director, at 304-327-4031 so that they will be recognized as charter members of The Pillars. She can also provide information on how to make an estate gift. A codicil to an existing will is the simplest way to do so.

Freedom Newspapers
ABILENE, Texas — Junior Justin Redman-Trotter hit four late free throws, including the two clinching shots with five seconds left, as Eastern New Mexico University held off Abilene Christian 86-82 on Thursday in the men's Lone Star Conference South Division opener for both teams.
Senior guard Stephen Wilson went 10-of-14 from the field and scored 23 for the Greyhounds (7-8), leading four players in double figures. Wilson matched his career high, set last week against East Central, and has scored 68 points in the team's past three games.
ENMU saw a 14-point lead with under 11 minutes left trimmed to 82-81 on two free throws by Philip Brooks with 1:02 left, but Redman-Trotter extended the lead to three with two free throws with 1:02 to go.
The Wildcats' Marcus Hubner made 1-of-2 free throws with 43 seconds left before Redman-Trotter, who went 9-for-10 from the line en route to 14 points, clinched it in the closing seconds.
Senior guard Tristan Largent added 14 points and senior post Mikal Monette chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds for the Hounds. The Wildcats (9-6) also had four men in double figures, led by Brooks with 17 points.
"We just toughed it out," ENMU coach Shawn Scanlan said. "They kind of caught some late momentum, but we held it off. It was a huge win."
Wilson was averaging less than seven points before his current surge.
"Stephen is on a good run right now," Scanlan said. "Offensively, he's hit some big shots for us and he's trying to defend well."
ENMU fell behind by nine in the first half, but rallied for a 41-39 lead at the break and extended the margin to 67-53 on Redman-Trotter's two free throws with 10:41 to go.
"When our defense went south, they came back on us," Scanlan said. "In all honesty, it wasn't a perfect game, but we toughed it out. It was a gutty win."
The Hounds shot 55 percent for the game and held the Wildcats to 42 percent. Abilene Christian had a 34-29 rebounding edge.

Oh sure, I suffered through the usual childhood chickenpox, measles, mumps… And there was this one ear thing that stopped my budding Olympic swimming career cold- but never you mind that.
Let's talk about these stupid yellow jacket venom injections.
Since I began getting these injections so I won't die from a single yellow jacket sting, I've been catching every bug known to man.
If I'm at the grocery store and a woman twelve aisles away from me sneezes, I catch whatever she's spewing.
Oh, walking into the clinic to get my venom injection? Through the hoards of parking lot zombies? Walking all the way down to the far end of the long long long corridor? Past all the kiddies? Past the old folks? Everyone coughing? Hello? Please people, could you put on your bubble helmets before you leave the house?
Taking care of my husband? I won't do it anymore. If he gets sick again I'll be forced to move into the dog run.
This is the second time in five months I've caught a virus from him that's become pneumonia and this time is way worse than the first time.
This is so not funny. I want my super power back! I had one super power and it's been stripped from me. Life isn't fair!
Wasp venom is my Kryptonite.

An anonymous Craigslist post asking that African-American not enter a particular neighborhood to trick-or-treat has a town buzzing.
Posted in the Larchmont-Edgewater "Rants and Raves" section of Craigslist, the home owner reminds young people that it is illegal for kids older than 12 to trick-or-treat (it is a misdemeanor offense in Norfolk, Va., where the neighborhood is located) and also adds that all black trick-or-treaters are not welcome, regardless of age. WTKR reports that the original post, which was offensive on many levels, warns, "We're a white neighborhood and we don't want you baboons here!!"
Several Larchmont-Edgewater residents have expressed outrage at the Craigslist post. "When I see that, I don`t know where it comes from, where all the anger comes from. Why are we using these words?" said one WTKR reader.
Norfolk Police said that every child 12 and under, who trick or treats before 8 p.m., can go wherever in the city they choose.

This week we have a special dare that caters to your world right now: Finals Week. I know that finals week can be a terrible and horrifying monster that is only nearly rivaled by the Mid-Terms Monster and that can really stunt creativity. So what kind of solution can we come up with to battle that creative block? Well, how about a dare that helps you visualize what YOUR Finals Week Monster looks like. Make it scary, ugly, mean, sad, cute, fluffy, slimy, alien, dark, gruesome… it doesn't matter! It's your monster! Maybe making it cute will help you feel better about your finals!
Dare of the Week: 012
What did your "Finals Monster" look like???
Source File Here: www.cogswell.edu/picts/Monster.psd
I have uploaded the guidelines file (above) that the people over at Eat Sheep used to make their monster. I thought maybe having a similar "rig" would be fun to see how people fit the parameters with their monster. The only thing I ask is…FINISH YOUR FINALS FIRST, please. Good luck on all your tests, projects and papers! Can't wait to see your monsters! (P.S. – I included some examples and even a video tutorial)
And remember, once you are finished, post those monsters here:

Scott Blazek
Each month Pintores Art League of Clovis features a display at the Clovis-Carver Public Library located at the corner of Seventh and Main Street across from the Curry County Courthouse.
In the month of June, featured artist Scott Blazek exhibits samples of his children's book illustrations, notably his Clovis Crawfish and friends that adorn the story tales of the late Mary Alice Fontenot, award winning author from Louisiana.
Along with Blazek's creatures from the southern swamplands are also some samples of his other artistic endeavors, including coin and medallion designs, and surrealistic compositions with a religious theme.
This exhibit is on display near the children's library area until June 30.
In July, the scheduled artist of the month is the Pat Weekly, popular for her southwest themes and still-life compositions.

North Central College invites the public to the free premiere Sept. 28 of the second part of a documentary series produced with Naperville Community Television that chronicles the College's 150-year history.
"The Growth of a College" is the second of the five-part documentary series "A Promising Start," which commemorates the College's Sesquicentennial. "The Growth of a College" will premiere at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, in Madden Theatre at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave. Complimentary refreshments will be served.
The documentary series production is led by Naperville Community Television's Emmy Award-winning Executive Director Elizabeth Braham Spencer, who also is adjunct professor of broadcast communication at the College.
"The Growth of a College" spans the years 1916 to 1946, during the period Edward Everett Rall served as College president. Rall's 30-year presidency remains the longest in the College's history and was notable for numerous reasons. During a challenging time in our nation that included the Great Depression and two world wars, Rall was able to drive substantial growth forward in terms of academics, financial stability, athletics and the physical footprint of the College.
"This was a period of great expansion and development for North Central College, and viewers are sure to be inspired by the legacy of President Rall," Spencer says.
The period covered in the second part of the documentary included the role North Central College played in the shaping of small colleges and the first concept of the student-athlete. The documentary brings the story to life through reenactments, video, historical photos, letters and interviews with historical experts such as Ann Durkin Keating, chair of the College's history department and C. Frederick Toenniges Professor of History at North Central.
North Central College is planning numerous Sesquicentennial events and projects throughout 2011 and into 2012. Visit northcentralcollege.edu/150 for additional details.

Okanogan County deputies say a man killed his father Thursday night and, when deputies responded to the home, the son opened fire on them, forcing them to return fire.
The shooting happened in a house at 56 East Dry Coulee Road just before 8:30 p.m. Deputies were called out to investigate a possible assault. When they arrived, two women ran out of the house, saying a man was shot by his son.
The Okanogan County Special Response Team was called out to try and speak with the two men inside the house. Deputies said when they decided to go inside the house, the son fired shots at them. They returned fire and shot him.
The man, who has not been identified, was transported to Mid-Valley Hospital. His condition is not known, according to Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers.
Deputies said the father was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Chelan County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation.
The names of the suspect, victim and deputy involved have not been released.

Leaving SoonThursday, July 22nd, 2010
So I'm heading ot of Egypt soon. Like tomorrow night soon. I guess that makes this the (possibly) final post, for all none of you who regularly read this blog. Seriously, if you regularly followed this as a source of news or entertainment you would be sorely disappointed. Anyway, there might or might not be more posts, depending on how industrious I feel. Which is not at all, incidentally.

The Graphic Truth: $91.5 Million Jerkwad
13 Comments
I am shocked at you.
How can you do that….how can you cluster the vuvuzelas even into the same graph as Carlos Zambrano.
One might be considered noise pollution, but the other is a truly cancerous element that needs to be cut out immediately.
One you can use earplaugs, the other will make you go blind.
Love how even Hugo Chavez makes the graph…
Rays Renegade
Cliff, you're killin' me dude. It says "venezuelans" not "vuvuzelas". Carlito and Hugo are both pretty well-known vuvuzelas — er, I mean, Venezuelans.
Beer thirty comes early here in Florida. That is why the Jimmy Buffett song "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" is played at 11 am….Burp!
Rays Renegade
HEy Jeff! I also thought it said Vuvuzuela. I had to look closer to see that it says Venezuela. Is close. lol.
Cliff — I totally understand. It's *hiccup* happened to me before too *hiccup*.
Emma — Vuvuzelas on the mind🙂 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Sad to see Big Z lose it like that, but Bob Brenly made a good point when he said SOMEBODY had to get angry about how things were going on the North Side because the entire team had been "dragging ***" for most of the season. I am sure the Cubs will be broken up soon, Lou dismissed, and Ryno given the reigns. Whatever they are doing now ain't working, fo' sho'.
RFB — I hear ya… still, I think the last person to bark and call out his teammates faults should be Z. That dude has no room to talk — about anything. And he's not a leader. He's not an ace even. He's just a guy who had a couple good years, got paid, and now causes trouble at every turn.
Just think of all the colorful circles you can add as the season progresses. There are bound to be more and more worthy candidates!
That is awesome. You can add a tiny, tiny cirle in the middle of people who do not like Albert Pujols…lol
You're right, Jane. Something tells me a circle for "psychopathic killer" may be needed eventually.
Jenn, that's sacrilege! Pure, heart-stopping sacrilege!🙂
I want to know more about those, like Hugo Chavez, that are embarrassments to humankind, but for which you have some respect. It's always embarrassing when people with poor analytical skills try to use diagrams and statistics. Maybe you should stick to your mindless rants?
Sethsf — One man's mindless rants are another man's endless entertainment. This is sorta of a big thang we got goin' on here, y'know, so I ain't sweatin' your knock. Don't hate the player, SethSF, hate the game.

Sorry to inform, but the character box does not change when he is transformed, so it is not a separate character or awakening.
Ya, that's what I think too; although the other Jinchuriki have their Bijuu as an awakening..probably b/c they need it lol.
this sucs
actually it can be an awakening as well as an ultimate jutsu as all the other jinchuurikis have the same thing also why would they only have it as a ultimate unless you have a link that states its just ultimate
the pic would change
Doesn't mean the cloak form isn't his awakening (the one he deflected 5 bijuu Damas in)
You know what.. just shut up... We had this a few weeks ago with you when you made a thread saying Bijuu mode wouldn't even be in the game.. stop being such a bloody little know it all and wait till the game comes out..

Dordt College News
Defender Cross Country No. 7 In Poll
September 26, 2013
(Thursday, September 26; Sioux Center, Iowa) The Dordt College women's cross country team held steady at no. 7 in the second in-season NAIA Women's Cross Country Coaches' Top 25 poll released Wednesday, September 25.
The Defenders took 521 points in the polling conducted by 23 coaches across the country. The top eight teams in the poll remain unchanged with British Columbia the unanimous no. 1 in the voting. Doane is no. 17 in the ranking released weekly by the NAIA.
Dordt was the top NAIA finisher at the Woody Greeno Invite this past weekend as they finished third at the meet in Lincoln, Nebraska. Lauren Opp was the first runner across for the Defenders with a time of 23:06 for seventh place and a pack of three runners wasn't far behind as Abby De Vries, Kayla Byl and Jordyn Visscher were 13th, 14th and 15th. De Vries ran a 23:21, Byl a 23:22 and Visscher a 23:24 on the 6,000 meter course. Kelsey Lewis was 30th in 24:11 for Dordt's final points.
Dordt will run in the Roy Griak Invitational at St. Paul, Minnesota on Saturday, September 28. After a week off the Defenders will run at the Pre-Nationals Meet in Lawrence, Kansas on Saturday, October 12.

Due to an unexpected wealth of players, it appears that I'll be starting off my new Age of Worms campaign with seven or eight players rather than the anticipated four or five. Anyone have any recommendations for scaling up the Whispering Cairn so that the characters don't steamroller over the existing foes?
Once I get into the later adventures, I can just modify them as per having a higher-level party, but for now I'd like to still provide my players with a reasonable challenge.
Here's one way to think about it: if the original adventure was designed for 4 players, and an encounter has 4 monsters, obviously the intent was for there to be 1 monster per player. So if you have 7 players instead of 4, increase the number of monsters to 7 also, to keep the ratio (monsters / players) the same.
Another method would be to keep the ratio of monster hit dice per player the same. This might work out better at higher levels.
There are also rules in the DMG for calculating 'challege rating' (CR) - so the idea here would be to keep CR the same as players increase. But the CR rules break down at higher levels.
Final option - wing it! Before the game, determine if an encounter should be 'easy' (two or three rounds of combat), 'medium' (3-6 rounds) or 'hard' (over 6). If your PCs are on the verge of finishing your 'hard' encounter at round 3, have a bunch more bad guys appear charging through the door!
Similarly, if your 100HP dragon is expected to last 5 rounds, and the barbarian in the group crits for 150 in the first round, give the dragon 200 more hp (or ignore the hit points and let it die after the next big hit that happens during or after round 5 - just don't let the players know what your doing).
Remember rule 0: it's not cheating if you're the DM. :-)
I, too, recently began an Ages of Worms adventure with 7 players using a 32-point buy. My group is mostly very experienced players. We are finishing a scaled-up version of WC this week. So far the bad guys have managed to knock one player unconcious, once. I believe we still have one PC who has yet to take damage.
With the downloadable supplement's section on scaling for an upper level party for reference, I did the following:
Whispering Cairn
- Area 4: 5 Wolves (HP: 20, 13, 13, 9,9) – EL 4
- Area 7: Sarcophagus trap, no change – EL 2; Operating elevators – EL 1; False Elevator Trap – EL 2; Two Beetle Swarms & Mad Slasher – EL 4 (My group had prepared for swarms, otherwise it would have been only one swarm.)
- Area 9: Slab trap, increase search & disable by 3 – EL 3
- Area 10: Two Lurking Stranglers – EL3
- Area 11: Brown Mold, no change – EL 2
- Area 13: Medium Earth Elemental (Consider what EL you want to call this. Because it can't leave the room, it can't use Earth Glide. This didn't feel like an EL 3 encounter to me.)
- Area 16: Two Bombardier Beetles, one swarm – EL 4
- Area 17: Beetle & Guardian, no change – EL 2
- Area 19: Medium Water Elemental – EL 3
- Area 21: Two ghouls – EL 3
- Area 23: Ball Trap, have the trap fire 1d4 balls at each PC on the bridge & then the grick attacks – EL 5
- Owlbear, not wounded – EL 4
Feral Dog
- Gang, no change – EL 4-6
Observatory (To be run this week)
- Area 1: Two Tomb Motes – EL 3
- Area 2: 3 skeletons, no change – EL 1
- Area 11: Filge, Skeleton, two Trog Zombies, two Bugbear Zombies – EL 6
Completing the Cairn
- Area 23: Ghost of Alastor Land, no change – EL 3
- Room 24: Two Wind Warriors, no change - EL 6

With the downloadable supplement's section on scaling for an upper level party for reference, I did the following:

Yup, I'd looked up the details on the downloadable supplement too, and I'm going to be making most of these changes. Additionally, since the characters seem to have quite a bit of muscle and mystical firepower, I'm increasing beastie hit points from average to 75% of max.
Also, I'm starting up a Campaign Journal to track their progress. So far, they've made it through my ad hoc prelude, found the map to the Whisphering Cairn, and are currently on their way back to Diamond Lake with swag to recover and equip.
I just finished this dungeon up to the quest to drop off Alstor's bones.
My group is made up of 6 level 5's, 4 animal companions.
I took every monster and cranked the HD as high as I could go. The two wind warriors still got smoked. Mostly because a fleshraker got a leap/pounce/pin on one of them.
So I'm not sure how to handle the rest of the campaign if I should adjust cr accordingly or just leave it as it is. THEY WILL blast through these at least for a while until it tappers off.

Dealer profile: Titi Halle
January 14, 2010 | The precious textiles and clothing sold at Cora Ginsburg have as much charm, beauty, and depth as any other category of antiques, but like the firm itself, you may have to look for it. Tucked into two cozy rooms on the third floor of a nondescript residential building on Manhattan's East Seventy-fourth Street, the gallery is as sparely furnished as a designer boutique, and many of its choicest items are not on display but must be retrieved from a back room and unrolled for viewing. At which point the owner, Titi Halle, is liable to hand you a magnifying glass so you can understand what it is you are looking at.
Halle is as unimposing and intimate a presence as her shop. One of a select group of dealers in a field that requires knowledge of goods from all over the globe spanning three or four centuries, she has a command of many disciplines—textiles, fashion, folk art, handcraft, weaving and printing technology, even the history of tangential matters such as Mummers' performances. On Antiques Roadshow she comes across as elegantly erudite. But in her gallery, with her shy smile, eyeglasses, and girlishly long hair, she might remind you of a favorite librarian. Spreading one piece of fabric on the floor for a recent visitor, she cheerfully exclaimed, "That's what floats my boat!"
The fabric in question was a delicate square of robin's-egg blue with trails of abstract roses—a shawl of astonishing rarity, one of only a thousand made by Russian serfs between 1800 and 1851. Before she bought it from a dealer in Paris last fall, Halle had never seen a complete example. Despite being tapestry woven, she explains, the shawl's single-ply wool is wrought so expertly that the garment is reversible. "It's the dream of a lifetime," she says.
Any antique best appreciated with the help of a magnifying glass will almost necessarily be a small niche, or rather a series of small niches. The general public barely registers in Halle's account books, and she usually limits herself to exhibiting at one show a year, the Winter Antiques Show. Private collectors tend to focus on a particular period or type of textile. While decorators have become crucial to the broader antiques trade, when it comes to antique textiles, "what most decorators want often doesn't exist," Halle explains. Those who understand her specialty come here for small amounts of material to cover pillows, but her most important, irreplaceable, pieces are off limits to anyone who would cut them up. The majority of her clients are museum curators who consult with her often to help identify the provenance of a piece of fabric or its use.
The irony is that though textiles and collectible fashion occupy a small niche, they are among the most accessible categories of antiques. Halle has no problem complying with the directive from the Winter Antiques Show to include modestly priced items for new collectors in her displays. A yard of art deco silk brocade ribbon can cost as little as twenty dollars, Halle points out, and even something "important" in terms of its author or age can be had for fifty dollars. Fabric can also be compellingly personal: it brings us into contact with the hands of the girls who stitched nineteenth-century samplers; it speaks eloquently of the social ambitions contained in a glamorous dress; and even commercial artifacts give us a glimpse of the history of cloth manufacturing. One of the most entertaining pieces Halle will bring to the winter show is a cotton sample for a line of French mid-nineteenth-century bandannas, which not only testifies to the explosion of design ideas that came with advances in cloth printing, but summons immediately the salesman who toted it around to Parisian retailers.
Our very familiarity with cloth, however, also breeds neglect. "Textiles are used up. That accounts for the rarity," Halle observes. "People have little consideration for their importance to the past or the future. We think of fabric as disposable."
Textiles also present peculiar problems for the collector. "Furniture is intuitive," says Leigh Wishner, who works at Cora Ginsburg researching new purchases and, with Michele Majer, an assistant professor of fashion history at the Bard Graduate Center, is writing the firm's upcoming catalogue. "People say, 'I sit in that, or I hang that mirror on a wall.' Even if they buy textiles, they don't necessarily know what to do with them."
To textile enthusiasts, doing nothing is often enough. A New Yorker who made her own clothes growing up, Halle trained as a dancer before moving to London in 1979. There she was introduced to Cora Ginsburg, wife of Benjamin Ginsburg, the New York antiques furniture dealer. Cora Ginsburg had developed a thriving trade for her husband's firm in costume and textiles. Halle escorted Mrs. Ginsburg on her rounds of dealers from Cornwall and Kent to Paris.
When she returned to New York in 1981, she took a job with Cora Ginsburg, who had cabinets of textiles and costume-filled trunks. For Halle it was a revelation—"I didn't know you could have a profession of selling costumes and textiles as decorative arts," she recalls. She was Ginsburg's employee and protégée for the next sixteen years. "I thought of going to school," she says, "but everyone laughed at the idea because I already had the best teacher. I was an old-fashioned apprentice."
When Halle bought the business in 1997, she kept the name, but since Cora Ginsburg's death, in 2002 at age ninety-two, she has reconfigured the living-room atmosphere into a more spare, orderly gallery. More substantively she has been expanding the firm's ambit to modernist work, such as designs by Angelo Testa (1921-1984) and other mostly American artists and architects, assembling complete or at least authoritative collections of their work.
Opening up new areas of interest is not only savvy but necessary. Like any field in antiques the market for textiles shrinks as older collectors retire if younger ones do not come in to replace them. Despite the trend for splashy museum openings about fashion with starlets and magazine editors in attendance, curators' textile budgets remain meager. In the early 1980s the auction houses held half a dozen important sales a year in the category; today Halle regards auctions as a waste of time. "You don't know where the stuff is going to show up," she says. "You might see a pair of eighteenth-century shoes in a decorative arts sale."
Which is perhaps why, small market or large, for love or money, there will always be a Cora Ginsburg. Curators and collectors cannot be everywhere, after all. For that, they need Titi Halle.

After three wonderful (okay, I'm choosing to forget the necessity of an SNS due to an emergency C-section, bouts of thrush, mastitis, sore nipples and a pre-existing treated thyroid condition) months with my baby solely breastfeeding, she is now starting daycare and I'm going back to work as a teacher. LO wouldn't take a bottle for the first week of transition care, we thought it was because she is not used to them, but I smelled the used bottles. GROSS!!! I have a lipase issue. So, my beginnings of a freezer stash—50 oz.—GONE!
Now, I've got a Munchkin warmer and have been scalding per instructions from other LLL members. Apparently I have a pretty bad lipase issue, I did some experiments and after about three hours my milk starts to turn IN THE FRIDGE!!!
School starts tomorrow. I only really have one time a day to pump, mid-day. My LO is in the midst of her 3 month old growth spurt. And on top of this whole thing… the lipase stuff. She eats at least 3 oz. at daycare per feeding, and at least 3 feedings per 8 hour stint at daycare. I am only pumping about 2 oz. per session, so must pump in the morning before I feed her (on one side), the afternoon when I pick her up, and in the evenings as well.
Am I going to be able to do this? Will I actually be able to pump enough? I am so frustrated with my body not doing what I want it to in this regard! My original plan was to make it through the first year, extra pump through the summer (for storage) and wean next August/September when she's 15 months old. I don't know if we're really going to be able to do this.
Any suggestions?

Here's my keepers: (not in any order)
1. David Lee
2. Eddy Curry
3. Channing Frye
4. Balkman (sorry no room to explain)
5. Jamal Crawford
6. Jeffries
Borderline for me is Q-Rich for his D (remember him on Lebron)
Ok guys, here's the question... if you could discard players you don't want (not for trades or to make space for a free-agent)... who would you keep as players you REALLY like for your team... whether a good role player, star, etc:
Players you can't choose due to injury or waived (though still paying):
2. Shandan Anderson
3. Jerome Williams
Here's the 15-man team including Jeffries to choose from:
1. Starbury
2. Jalen Rose
3. Steve Francis
4. Mo Taylor
5. Eddy Curry
6. Q-Rich
7. Crawford
8. Malik
9. Jerome James (need we say more)
10. Frye
11. Nate
12. Balkman
13. David Lee
14. Mardy Collins
15. Jared Jeffries
Let's see your lists... obviously you'd have an incomplete team... but it'll be interesting to see who the real keepers are!
Here's my keepers: (not in any order)
1. David Lee
2. Eddy Curry
3. Channing Frye
4. Balkman (sorry no room to explain)
5. Jamal Crawford
6. Jeffries
Borderline for me is Q-Rich for his D (remember him on Lebron)
I would keep everyone except Jerome James, Stephon Marbury, and Steve Francis.
My list includes:
2.Steve Francis
3.Eddy Curry
4.Channing Frye
5.Jamal Crawford
6.David Lee
7.Jared Jeffries
8.Nate Robinson
10.Mardy Collins
11.Malik Rose
Everyone else that I didn't name (Mo Taylor, J Rose, Q-Rich) are either old and can't help us or injury proned. We have scoring options, defense, athleticism, and post options on this roster with sparks off the bench.
i'd like to keep the team young with a few veterans to lead the way like marbury, richardson, and and maybe jalen rose, but we all know its more than likely he'll leave this year. the knicks have made it clear that they are trying to ship out james, malik, and taylor while francis remains in limbo. (anyone notice that there is absolutly no talk about francis?) maurice taylor will be a f.a next year but i'd like him to stay in ny (of course for way less money) because well he is a decent foward with size and is a more than capable scorer. so my choice of players to be booted from ny are both roses, francis, and james, all extras we dont need
I would keep:
11.Mo Taylor
12.Qyntel Woods
I pick all these players because they can keep the Knicks in check. Even though some are old they still can get the job done. And you always need some young players for that new school skills
1. Marbury
2. Curry
3. Frye
4. lee
5. Nate
6. Crawford
7. Balkman
8. collins
9. Jefferies
10. Quentin Richardson - wit this new offense, could do quite well
11. Jalen Rose
Gots to go - Francis, Maurice taylor, Malik Rose, Jerome James
i think qyntel woods deserves a spot on the roster and should be signed to the minimum for next year until he proves that hes a star, like the deshawn stevenson-wizards situation. last year he defintly proved he can play, and given such a short time to prove himself. the team is full of athletes who can play and our g/f position is really deep with a mix of different styled players. the knicks will be a team to watch next year. things have been said before, but i expect big things to happen....
roster is fullOriginally Posted by ny3nyk
> 1. David Lee

> 4. Balkman (sorry no room to explain)
> 5. Jamal Crawford
> 6. Jeffries
Solid start. QRich you have to give another chance to. There was too much stuff going on for him last year. Where's the love for NateR? And maybe Isiah can reach Marbury, no one else has, but Stephon obviously has a problem with white coaches (something no one else is honest enough to admit).
And, surprising everyone (I am sure) I would give Jerome James a chance to prove that he can get in shape. If necessary, I would hire him a personal trainer with a taser (although I am sure someone would whine about that idea).
I would keep
david lee
mardy collins
qyntel woods
malik rose

Let's please not have the race card...him being white has nothing to do with the issue. LB is old school....Starbury is new school...they clashed in ethics and how the game is played. Neither is wrong or right it's just that they clashed because one is fire and the other is ice. Just as LB clashed with Nate Rob, JC, and Ariza. But if you bring up the race issue then it could also go the other way round with LB having problems with established guards in the NBA such as Billups, AI, and starbury (two well established guards in the game). I'm being nice and not including steve francis. It's just the matter of basketball ethics...not being black or white. Don't do that to yourself...don't bring up the race card...Originally Posted by nixon7
Yeah lets please leave race out of this discussion. Especially when it is a non entity in this discussion. Marbury just has a problem playing for ANY coach that doesnt want him to be Starbury. Simple as that.
I'd keep
1. Eddy Curry
2. Channing Frye
3. David Lee
4. Jared Jeffries
5. Renaldo Balkman
6. Jamal Crawford
7. Stephon Marbury
Nate and Q are borderline for me. I like them both but Nate especially could be a kicker in a good deal. Jerome James, Malik Rose, Maurice Taylor, Jalen Rose, Mardy Collins (also a kicker) are expandable to me.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
In this order:
Jamal Crawford (knicks most explosive player)
Channing Frye (ability to spread the floor and shoot)
Eddie Curry (inside demon in the right system)
Stephon Marbury (will mature eventually/ chip on shoulder)
Jalen Rose (expiring contract)
Maurice Taylor (expiring contract)
Quentin Richardson (if back is healthy excellent shooter and defender)
Jared Jefferies (can't trade him anyway but very effective player)
Jerome James (like it or not need insurance for Curry)
Nate Robinson ( to spell Marbury and for defense will get better)
Both Rookies ( for depth and defense )
I'm definitely feeling Isiah's idea of having a lineup composed of:
PG- Stephon Marbury
SG- Steve Francis
SF- Jared Jeffries
PF- Channing Frye
C- Eddy Curry
This young athletic lineup can destroy most eastern conference teams with it's size and most western conference teams with it's athleticism. Jared Jeffries is another guy that can help steve francis on bigger guards on the helpside double or an opportunity for a helpside block. This lineup is a potent, athletic lineup and in my opinion it's one of the top 5 starting 5 in the eastern conference. I smell playoffs already...

Tyler Blaschke scored a 77 which tied him for first with another player from Lasara HS and after a one hole playoff, Blaschke was declared district champion and received the gold medal. "I felt really good coming into district, and I am so excited to be going to regionals again, it is a great way to 'go out with a bang' during my last year as an Eagle! I look forward to playing at regionals with Justin and Brittany and to also represent Woodsboro High School," Blaschke said.
Justin Fierova scored an 89 and brought home a bronze medal. "I am very excited to be going to regionals. This is my first year, and I am hoping to make it a big one!" Fierova said.
Quinton Burns scored a 114 and Edward Meza turned in a 121. Both boys admitted to having a tough round at district but were glad that they were part of the Eagle golf team!
Both Blaschke and Fierova will advance to the regional tournament as individual medalists on April 15 and 16 at the Brenham Country Club in Brenham.
The Lady Eagles also played their best and placed third overall as a team at the tournament in Alice on March 26. Brittany Lopez turned in the best round of the day with a score of 92 and won the title of district champion. She will also advance to the regional tournament as an individual medalist on April 15 & 16.
"This is my senior year, and I am so excited to make a return trip to regionals. I will be practicing hard because I would love to make a return trip to the state tournament as well!" senior Brittany Lopez said.
Jessica Bingenheimer turned in a score of 104 which tied her with another player from Agua Dulce and after a one hole play-off, Bingenheimer fell short of advancing to regionals by one stroke. "I was very nervous for my play-off. I wish I would have won it but I am glad that I have three more years to play! I feel like I had a good first season of golf!," Bingenheimer said.
Kristina Foster scored a 129 and Summer scrimpsher scored a 137. Both girls agree that while "golf is not the easiest sport to learn, it is fun and enjoyable" and both plan to play again next year.
"The golfers all did great at the tournament. The competition was tough and they fought hard," Coach Wade Miller said.

Sunday morning, the season of giving went into overdrive as "gear heads" gathered in Kakaako.
"I've always been a car guy, since I was growing up," said Wayne Silva, with the VW Club of Honolulu.
He's not alone, hundreds of proud owners showed off their prized possessions -- vintage cars from the 1930s to the latest tricked-out rides. The cars were on display at the group "Show and Shine".
The day for drivers wasn't about trophies or bragging rights though, instead it was about giving something back.
"The generosity of the community has been amazing," said Abe Dentel, with the USMC's Toys for Tots program.
Drivers in the car clubs don't just cruise around the island anymore. Now, they said, they also park with a purpose: to help their community.
So, riding along in many of these hot rods were toys for tots, who might otherwise go without over the holidays.
"I'm thankful for everything I had as a child, but not everybody has that opportunity. So if I can help out a little that makes me feel better," said Ted Shiroma, with Scion Evolution.
Christmas may even come early to some kids in need. Because of all the giving, the toys won't stay under wraps til the end of the month.
"We do get a lot of toys and we don't have room to store them all. That means we get them out to kids as quickly as possible," said Dentel.
Games, stuffed animals and bikes were all dropped off during the day of cars and charity.
But, as you could have guessed, there was one kind of toy that topped the list of giving.
"Hotwheels, of course. What kid doesn't like Hotwheels," said Shiroma.
"Hotwheels, the old-time favorite. We're car guys so we got some Hotwheels for the kids," said Silva.
The event gathered up over 2,000 toys, which is just some of the tens of thousands needed for the annual Toys for Tots campaign in the islands. Those donations will be collected up until just days before Christmas.
