Great location in that it is an up and coming neighbourhood out of the city centre but it is right next to the U and S Bahn which is only a few stations away from the main areas. Being that it is up and coming, it may look a bit rough and seedy in areas so I would recommend keeping flashy things away and being aware of your surroundings. But it's mostly harmless and we did not encounter any trouble in our stay there. Just use your common sense. The apartment itself was clean and it had everything you needed. One of the problems though was that we could not get in contact with the owner, only the housemaid (who is very capable of her job) but we were told that someone would be there to meet us and there was no-one there when we arrived after a long trip. We had to call the housemaid and after a few obstacles, she finally came and opened the door for us. It is an old lock and it takes a few tries before getting used to it. Other than that hiccup, it was smooth sailing afterwards. I would recommend this to anyone. Thank you Frohmut!
The apartment is well situated near a station for S-bahn and U-bahn and close to many different shops. It was very comfortable, well heated in Winter and with a well-equipped kitchen. We found it to be quiet at night. We had a small problem with the front door lock because there are two key holes - one works, the other does not. We were very happy with the apartment and would be happy to stay there again.
Maria, the housekeeper welcomed us with a bride smile and showed us the place. The flat is spacious, clean and really fancy decorated. The area seems like little Istanbul, snacks and small stores everywhere. There is much to see :)
Hello Frohmut
We loved your apartement. It was very cosy and nice, near the station and everything that you needed to have a good holiday, was there. There was a lot of space which we find important with two teenagers.
So we were very satisfied, everything was perfect apart from the weather.
Kind regards
Inge and the rest of the family
Very nice appartment, we really enjoyed our stay!
The surroundings of the apartment are ok but it's a bit noisy (train line, traffic). The 2nd bed is too small for two people who are not in a relationship!
There were 3 of us staying at this apartment. For starters:the place was spotlessly clean which was one of my main worries with booking a place over the internet. The rooms are spacious, the bedrooms are big and the bathroom is new and modern. The heating in the apartment worked well too. We had strong wifi signal. The apartment is located in a nice area, just by the station and it felt very safe to venture out during the day and night. I'd definitely recommend it!
Cosy apartment, well equipped and in a quiet street. Only 2 minutes walking to a good junction of the metro.
You only may not take a shower too enthusiastic!

High school holds Idaho Falls mayoral debate
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The Compass Academy held a debate for Idaho Falls' mayoral candidates Tuesday night, two weeks before election day.
All four candidates fielded questions submitted to the high schoolers by members of the community. The students studied the topics, formed questions and asked the candidates questions from balancing the budget to preserving the city's historic sites. The four candidates Rebecca Casper, Timothy Downs, Brian Lapray and Sharon D. Parry answered questions for an hour before meeting and greeting those in attendance.
So, what is it that sets these candidates apart from the field?
Casper, a adjunct professor at Brigham Young University-Idaho and Eastern Idaho Technical College, said she has a breadth of experience and has a detailed plan for the city.
Downs, a police officer for the City of Idaho Falls, said he's had experience in many levels of government as well as administration and business.
Lapray, a doctor and businessman, believes he has the requisite education in business to run the city.
Parry, a city councilwoman, said she has acquired the skills and experience necessary for the job through six years serving on the city council.
There will be another mayoral debate at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the American Heritage Charter School

I'm Virginie, the owner of the apartment "Duplex in the heart of Paris".
Feel free to ask questions about the area because I have been living in the Montorgueil quarter for 20 years with my family and I know it very well.
In the very heart of Paris, located near the famous pedestrian Montorgueil Village : rue des Jeuneurs, 2nd arrondissement.
You could visit most of the Parisien touristic sights just by walking around : the Seine, the Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, the Pompidou Center and the Galeries Lafayette are maximum 10 to 15 mn walking.
The "Village Montorgueil" is one of the oldest and most fashionable quarter of Paris known for its restaurants, cafes, bakeries, cheese shops... Round the corner, you'll be at the Place des Victoires, well known for the fashion shops and the typical french market of the Saint Eustache Church.
In a 1900's building, the apartment, located in a small courtyard, refurbished in 2012. You'll find
- a livingroom with a sofa/bed 4,6X6,6 feet
- a bedroom with a bed 4,6X6,6 feet
- une kitchen with all amenities,
- a bathroom with a rain shower,
- separated toilets,
On the ground floor of the House, you'll find, the living room, kitchen and toilets. On the 1st floor, the bedroom and bathroom.
Because of its central location, You will easily go to all the touristic sights with the metro or the fast train (30mn to Versailles and Disney Land). You could take the train from every parisien train station in less than 30mn or be at the airport in 40mn.
If you want to rent the parking lot, ask before about its availability and it's extra charge.
Internet and mobil connections are sometimes perturbated (whatever the provider you use) due to the density of the buildings around. Wifi is accessible in the bedroom.

Reviews of this property
A nice weekend to refresh memories of Paris. Old places to visit, walk through favorite street... nice...
Fantastic location walking distance to all major tourist sites and because walking so much more to see. Also very close to lots of great cafes and restaurants. The apartment itself is small but clean and well equipped. When in Paris again we would love to stay here again.
The apartment is clean and well equiped. The owner Virginie was very kind and helpful. However the apartment is situated in a backyard and the windows were blocked due to some repair to the Building. That meant no daylight at all and because the apartment is in a backyard very little air. We had a good time in Paris but I would have liked to have known that the apartment didn't have windows out to the street.
apartment very well located and very nice, we will surely return.
appartement très bien situé et très agréable, nous y reviendrons sûrement.
Nice hostess, great location. Something out loud, but you're usually away :)
Value for money: very good!
Nette Gastgeberin, top Lage. Etwas laut draussen, aber man ist ja meistens unterwegs:)
Preis- Leistung : sehr gut!
The apartment is very central but with little natural light and the wifi does not work.

text: Traded in my 08 silverado 2500HD last month on a 13 silverado 1500. On the new truck, the passenger side wiper does not touch the windshield for about the last inch or two. When it is straight up or to the left it does touch. When driving in rain there is not a crisp line where the wiper touches. I must be to anal, but this really bothers me. Took it back to the dealer. They put on a new set, still does the same thing. Went out on their lot and checked other trucks, none of them touch. A friend just also just bought a new 13 silverado his is the same. What kind of engineering is this? They can't even get the wiper blade to fully touch the windshield. The 08 didn't do this. Anybody else notice this? Marty

Wiki says that the term flapjack dates to the 17th C. when it referred to a flat tart or pan-cake. They claim the term wasn't used to describe a food containing oats until 1935.

Well, the oaty ones are flat, I suppose. But not really a tart and definitely not a pancake. A tray-bake, I suppose. Like a richer version of a granola bar, but thinner and cut in squares rather than bars.
Food etymology is intriguing. It's like English muffins and American muffins, or how "biscuit" came to mean a soft sort of quick-bread in America when everywhere else in the world it means something crunchy (it means "twice cooked").
As for the crunchy kind, "biscuit" comes from the French and "cookie" comes from the Dutch, so the use of the different words tells you about the dominance of different cultures at different times. Just to add to the confusion, "cookie" in Scotland traditionally means a glazed cream bun. These days we also get chewy American-style biscuits, which are usually huge here, and sold in paper bags like doughnuts, and called cookies. And biscuits with chocolate chips in them are generally called cookies, but any other kind is called a biscuit. Confusing.
Interesting stuff, though. Pardon the ramble. Normal service will now resume.

Re: soggy/crumbly flapjacks...
I am familiar with the term flap jacks being applied to oat bars in Britain because I had them as a child. Some of us have only one or two generations that were mostly born here in the U.S., so there is quite a varied experience of different cultures . . . but I think most of us realize that biscuits are cookies. Cookies in America are also crisp and crunchy. Chewy cookies are a newish thing here. When I was a child, we thought soft cookies were a kind of new, odd thing, but maybe someone else had a different experience. We always had crispy cookies and they are still popular today. I'm not a fan of the soft cookie because to me, they came about when companies starting using poor quality fats instead of butter in cookies. In our family, we thought they were awful.

Re: soggy/crumbly flapjacks...
I am now confused. I always thought the soft cookies came from America.
So the question is, where did they come from?
A conspiracy theory could be woven round this without too much effort.
#16 Fri 11 Jan 13 2:55pm
Re: soggy/crumbly flapjacks...
Cookies have been very popular here since the early colonial days. Both soft and crisp cookies have been made here for that long, but a 'soft' cookie would be a particular recipe, this soft texture wasn't applied to many crisp cookie recipes until fairly recently.
It is almost always a mistake to define what is 'American' by the giant commercial companies that bring you only a tiny bit of what we have available to us and most of those things don't represent American traditions very well if at all.

After looking at the R-value of my hive boxes, I am wondering if it would be a good idea to put heat tape inside the hive. Has anyone done it?
As far as I can tell, the tape starts heating if it gets below a certain temperature like 45-50. Are some on all the time?

This is how I imagine Main Street at the North Pole right about now. Mom and Pop elves dash from store to store in a scramble to finish their holiday shopping. They load up on knickknacks and tchochkies (assuming there are Jewish elves in the community) from the locally owned Santa's Workshop. There are no chain stores here. At the top of the world, hard-earned dollars are spent in neighborhood stores, whose store owners then spend and invest them with other local businesses.
Perhaps that's why Santa's Village isn't going through a recession.
Back here in the temperate zone, the local and national economies are in the crapper. Big businesses such as Circuit City, Tweeter, and Linens-N-Things are closing their doors; to save gas, city dwellers have stopped driving to the malls out in Burlington, Natick, and Leominster. The only upside of this downturn is that shoppers are returning to their neighborhood stores.
And just in the nick of time. Boston may yet end up looking a bit like the Pole of my imagination this December. Minus the Jewish elves.
After a sluggish 2007 holiday spending season, the national Independent Business Forum (IBF) surveyed local businesses in all 50 states and in Washington, DC. Despite news that local businesses are hardest hit when the economy stalls, the businesses surveyed reported steady earnings. Some showed even modest gains.
With a decidedly gloomier year-end shopping picture projected for 2008, that news provides at least a glimmer of hope to Boston-area businesses and communities. "This is really an opportunity for small downtowns to recapture that market that kind of went out of style because people were busy, had no time to build relationships, and could find better deals at the chain stores," says Christopher Ryan, the man otherwise known as the Localizer.
By day, Ryan is the director of planning and development for the town of Ayer (population 6871). He lives in nearby Concord where, he says, he plans to do most of his holiday spending this year. "Last year, we were buying things like sleeping bags and camping equipment from the mall," he says. "This year, there's a store in West Concord that we'll go to. It's a little more expensive than places like EMS [itself once a local business —ed.], but dealing with your local merchant is important in building up your local economy." On his blog, Ryan advocates buying locally made goods and produce, creating local businesses, and localizing energy production.
(He also recommends using local currency such as BerkShares, the barter-like instrument of commerce circulating in the Southern Berkshires, but one glance at berkshares.org is enough to know this idea isn't coming to Boston any time soon.)
According to the IBF study, locally owned businesses have held relatively steady for two reasons: paranoid and cash-strapped spenders want to keep their money close to home and various Buy Local campaigns have raised public awareness of the benefits of supporting hometown enterprises. (Local First campaigns have recently been launched in Cambridge, Roslindale, and Worcester.)

Roast potatoes ( disaster , over browned !)
sausage meat stuffing
pigs in blankets
sprouts , green beans ,parsnips, carrots ,creamed leeks
Chestnuts in a creamy lemon sauce
fresh cranberry sauce

but no one could eat another thing !
In the evening , those that wanted had a cheese board with some port.
to go with th meal we were meant to have a selection of wines but we seemed to just stick with the apperatif cocktail of raspberries that had been macerated i gin and then this was added to the glasses which was champagne !
today , Boxing day in the UK we have had the left over veg and some boiled potato made into 'Bubble and squeek' this was eaen with cold ham and cold turkey.

Re: What was Christmas Dinner?
I also have eaten too much, is it me or is the quality street ratio not right? I was lucky enough to have Amedei no. 9 and Valrhona 100% powder sent to me, for Christmas. I also invested in Willies chocolate. His 100% is �3:99 in Waitrose go buy some!
Highlight of yesterday was wild Canada goose, Raspberry hazelnut pavalova, Turkey was superb. It was great to be with the family. Venison today, was also amazing. Devon is so good.
The English Chardonnay I brought to the table was well received. Alas I am an ex alcoholic, so had to rely on other people�s comments. Tesco�s selling it �8:99.
Some nice things being cooked by others (all of the above).

Re: What was Christmas Dinner?
As we are only two persons, it really isn't worth cooking a turkey dinner at home, so we went out to a restaurant (as usual).
Turkey (and turkey gravy), roast potatoes, broccoli, sprouts, cauliflower, carrots, chestnut stuffing, and someone brought cranberry sauce. Mince pies and brandy sauce to follow.
It wasn't a patch on my mother's Christmas dinner, not my ex wife's but for Sterling 17.00 (USD 26.00) for both of us including beer and wine, one cannot really complain.

At the risk of sounding boring, we had fillet steaks, mushrooms, tomatoe and sauteed potatoes/onion. Tipped a slug of red into the pan, cooked off the alcohol and that made a lovely sauce. Followed by mincemeat and apple pie (homemade of course) with cream. Yet to have our Christmas pudding. We'll have that when we can do it justice.

Re: What was Christmas Dinner?
thats not boring at all .
I think I would much rather cook that that a turkey !
Coking the turkey is something I hate , to me its the worst part of Christmas, but , my family love it and they love all those meals that come along with using up he turkey.
Yesterday we had bubble and squeek made with the left over vegetables and they had cold turkey and cold ham to go with it .
I have simmered all the turkey bones and made a stock which will be made into turkey soup... always a favorite and then I will make a turkey 'pie' with a but with a filling based around a bachamel sauce with the remainder of the turkey gravy added in plus plenty of meat and veg with a mashed potato topping then that will be the end of the turkey !
I keep aking noises thatmaybe they would all like to eat something other than turkey each year but they all seem to have a bot of a hearing problem

Re: What was Christmas Dinner?
I must be one of those really irritating people who actually not only look forward to, but also enjoy cooking the Christmas dinner!
It's not the easiest cooking a big turkey dinner for 5 with our tiny cooker but there's nothing better than the smell of the Christmas dinner cooking while the children are enjoying their presents, my mother always made such an effort so I like to follow in her footsteps and do the same for my family.
We had a golden looking turkey stuffed with fresh herbs and clementine both inside and under the skin. Roasted chestnut and sausage meat stuffing, roast potatoes (Jamie style of course), honey roast parsnips, buttery Brussel sprouts carrots and chestnuts, pigs in blankets, braised red cabbage, turkey neck gravy (the cat was very excited) and of course mince pies and cream for dessert (only we were all too full for those).

Re: What was Christmas Dinner?
Mummza, I gave up roasting a turkey some years ago. I've always thought it very overrated and that the attraction was the accompaniments; pigs in blankets, sprouts with chestnuts//bacon, bread and cranberry sauce, etc.
We usually have a lovely joint of sirloin but because of health issues this year, decided on something quick, like the steaks. We weren't disappointed but I miss my sirloin.
Don't you all get sick of turkey by the end of December? Perhaps you put the remainder in the freezer to enjoy later?

hey I wouldnt be taking shots at parcells lol. He called it. no one else wanted to predict a dominating win and he deserves his props.
Yes I think he was on after the game
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Don't know where Buddy is but he has always showed up, maybe he hasn't been available, he is tough on the GMEN and does take a negative approach but for the 9er game he wasn't the only one who had doubts, he will show up.
Forget the Past, Live for the Future!
besides the eagles game where many people thought we would win by a lot, BP hasn't predicted a blowout where we were supposed to get creamed. He had the balls to say we would trash them and we did.
We wll have more problems with the skins but should win by 2 scores

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Dec 24, 2012.
How tall is Zeller in flip-flops?
Ellis is probably the last player I want on this team. Worse 3pt-shooter than Igoudala and he's only 1 year younger. Not to mention the difference in their defensive game. The only defense Ellis plays is when he gambles for steals. It works 1-3 times per game, but the other 20 times results in points for the other team.
Harsh, brah!
I'd settle for a pass-occasionally point.
ESPN now predicts Trey Burke will be drafted by the Detroit Pistons at No. 8 | MLive.com
If what Wiggles ESPN predicts came to pass, do you guys think the midget back court of Burke-Knight can succeed in the NBA? If you have two seven footers in Moose and Drummond in the paint, does it matter if your backcourt lacks size? Granted larger guards can post up Burke/Knight, Drummond is a great help defender so it might actually work. I guess it all hinges on who the SF is. If you have Singler starting at the 3 next year, probably not. If you have Iggy or Josh Smith. Who knows. What are your thoughts?
It's hard to quantify those types of intangibles.
Kyle Korver.
With FA signings at SG and SF who can shoot, Burke could have the role Bynum had in our bench version of the finals Magic while being able to shoot but with the starters. Burke FA FA Monroe Drummond starting with Knight, Khris, the Singler twins and our 56th pick coming off the bench. English, TRG and cheap FA as backups. 37th pick and Chaz in steet clothes. Mo at the helm. This actually sounds pretty nice. I like modelling the starting five after a sub-30 win team bench.
Knight will not be coming off the bench. He is a starter for the next 3-4 years.
No, to Iggy (can't shoot from that position and knows it) vs. Josh Smith (can't shoot from that position and doesn't know it).
They both shoot around 45-46% from the field. Iguodala makes more threes and shoots a higher percentage from deep compared to Smith. They both suck at the FT line (about 60% over the last 2 seasons).
Pistons 101 | 24/7 News Coverage of Detroit Pistons Basketball | Sports Media 101 Jose & Iggy! I like it!
Iguodala has greatly improved his outside shooting, especially from 3. He can knock down that shot enough for the defence to respect it.
If you give him open looks, he can sure make damage from deep. You should also keep in mind that he's a solid ballhandler and passer, and can set other people up (like Calderon and Knight).
This approach worked well for Rodney Stuckey so I see no reason not to simply hand Brandon Knight a secure starting gig and not entertain any other options irregardless of how he performs or improves. To bad Joe doesn't have a hall 'o famer to trade away to let BK know that 'he's the man'.
I don't want my three position dependent on open looks, especially when Knight and Stuckey are on the floor. It will take much to sigh him as he give up 16M this year and he is pushing 30.
The case for Iguodala: Counterpoint: The Pistons should pursue Andre Iguodala - Detroit Bad Boys
OK, now I'm convinced on this side of the argument. If we're going to make a mistake, I'd rather it be to get too defensive and have offensive struggles than the other way around. At least defense creates turnovers and easy buckets to partially make up for the lack of spacing in the half court set. One way to fix the spacing issues with Monroe and Drummond is to have a PG that penetrates like crazy. For instance (I know this won't happen): Bynum Knight Iggy Monroe Drummond In that scenario, our bigs pack the paint, but we could pull Monroe to the high post (where he can pass and is a serious threat to drive), and run constant PnRs with Bynum and Drummond. Any PG that plays like Bynum can drive our primary offense through that 2-man game with Drummond and the rest of the guys can either get very open 3's or slash. It may not be a standard offense, but when you have bigs like Drummond and Monroe, you might be able to invent something better than standard. Monroe is a unique passer, driver, and finisher with above average offensive rebounding ability (due to his hard nose and sticky hands). Drummond is a vacuum cleaner on alley oops and an absolutely devastating offensive rebounder. Iggy is smart enough and versatile enough to find plenty of ways to score in that mix.
We don't necessarily need 3pt shooters to create spacing. You only need to look at a player like TD or Bosh to realise that an 18-20ft jumpshoot can open up very important lanes aswell.

One Moss Bluff man is dead and another has been arrested following a fight early New Year's Day, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokesperson Kim Myers said Matthew V. Crochet, 36, died Wednesday following a fight on South Perkins Ferry Road.
Myers said 41-year-old Brian D. Diamond, 904 S. Perkins Ferry Road, was arrested Jan. 1 and charged second-degree battery. Because Crochet died, Myers said Diamond's charges will likely be upgraded and that the investigation is continuing.
"At approximately 2:35 a.m., the Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a fight at a New Year's Eve party on S. Perkins Ferry Road in Moss Bluff," Myers said. "Deputies discovered Crochet lying on the ground unresponsive. Medical emergency personnel were called and transported Crochet to a Lafayette hospital for treatment for severe head trauma where he died as a result of his injuries."
Judge Clayton Davis set Diamond's bond at $350,000.
CPSO Detective Kathy LeBlanc was the lead investigator.

NATCHITOCHES — Shaq won't be here until Friday.
So when the gala-long weekend for the latest induction class to the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame began Thursday, it had to settle for Ervin Johnson.
No, not THAT Earvin Johnson. Not Magic.
"That's what (then UNO basketball coach) Tim Floyd thought he was getting," Ervin Johnson laughed as the living members of the non-Shaq division of the latest class gathered on historic Front Street.
Johnson, mistaken identity or not, did enough to become a first-round pick out of UNO despite not playing high school basketball at Jonesville, and was good enough to play 13 NBA seasons. He's surely earned his spot here.
But Natchitoches is bracing for a Shaqalicious weekend.
Two of Shaq's former LSU classmates, football players Tommy Hodson and Kevin Mawae, are already here.
Hodson is a bit of a late entry, but all these years later he is still the Tigers' all-time leading passer and is responsible for the only man-made earthquake in state history.
Mawae, an eight-time NFL Pro-Bowler, may well be the best offensive lineman LSU ever produced and, at any rate, is surely the greatest Tiger never to play on a winning team in Baton Rouge (remember Curley Hallman?).
Most people here, though, are wondering when Shaquille O'Neal will show up.
For now, though, there's the horse racing version, Ron Ardoin.
Louisiana produces a lot of jockeys and several are already in the Hall of Fame, most of whom would fit comfortably on a charm bracelet.
Ardoin looks normal size, which must have towered over the jockey's room while he was winning 5,226 races.
"He had to be the Shaq of horse racing," somebody said cleverly.
Shaq isn't big-timing it, by the way. It's not uncommon for inductees to miss the informal Thursday news conference. Tennis star Chanda Rubin of Lafayette will also show up today.
A friend of Shaq's even suggested he didn't want to overshadow the other inductees for the entire weekend.
So we got to hear Hodson's version of the Earthquake Game, the 1988 winning pass to Eddie Fuller that caused such a Tiger Stadium ruckus it registered as the LSU geology department's seismograph.
Hodson once overheard his daughter telling one of her friends that her dad had once played quarterback at LSU.
She explained to her friend that, "I don't know if he was any good, but he threw a pass and the earth shook."
He was good, but his daughter probably never heard it from him.
Hodson, who grew up in a basketball family on Bayou Lafourche, said he was flabbergasted to be joining the Hall of Fame.
"I'm just an average Joe," he said. "I'm as average as they come. To be in this (Hall of Fame) just floors me. I look at the list of names that aren't in and it humbles me."
The earthquake he created might have affected more than he imagined.
Mawae was a heavily recruited senior at Leesville making a visit to LSU that night. A self-described an Army brat at Fort Polk, he started playing football in Germany, where his father was stationed. He had no particular ties to LSU and while in Germany the Big Ten was on TV more, and also interested him more.
He was in Tiger Stadium that night, mostly to see Fuller, who'd been a senior at Leesville when Mawae was a freshman.
"That night made me decide I really wanted to go to LSU," Mawae said.
His timing might have been off. They weren't banner years for the Tigers under Hallman.
"Others (old LSU teams) get together and reminisce about championships," he said. "We have gripe sessions about Curley Hallman."
Mawae doesn't have many regrets, though.
As Hodson put it: "This won't be the last Hall of Fame induction he goes through — he'll be in the NFL hall."
Mawae said he was most proud "to be the first Wampus Cat in this Hall of Fame."
In the end Mawae was as respected off the field as on it, mainly as president of the NFL Players Association, where he was instrumental in
He got to know NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell well, and doesn't envy his job.
"He works for 32 billionaire owners looking after 2,000 millionaire players,"Mawae said. "Every year 10 (wayward players) make 2,000 look like idiots."
Shaq will be here today, by the way, possibly to clear up the tall tale that Dale Brown stumbled across him on an air base in Germany when he was a mere toddler of 6-foot-6.
Johnson's story is almost as good.
After high school, he thought he'd found his life's calling as a 6-foot-11 shelf stocker at the A&P grocery store in Baton Rouge (not needing a foot stool may have been big selling point).
When it was suggested he try basketball, he wanted to go to LSU and even talked to Brown.
"Coach Brown encouraged me," Johnson said. "But he wasn't interested. He had Shaquille and Stanley Roberts coming in."
Johnson eventually went up against Shaq often in the NBA.
"He's a wonderful person," Johnson said of his many tangles. "He's genuine."
And he'll be here today.

Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
This is my first visit here so I hope my post is ok, my wife and I are trying to cook from scratch using Jamie's book Ministry Of Food, we have survived so far using the food you can buy partially prepaired/cooked from supermarkets and with Bolognese usually just buy a jar of the pre-made variety and mix it in with the mince.
Well we tried the receipe for it in the book and followed it strictly but we ended up with alot of excess liquid (I mean alot, it was more like a soup than a sauce).
Has anyone got any idea's what we did wrong or how to avoid this next time.
#2 Fri 02 Jan 09 9:01pm
Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
If that happens again, place the bolognese in a colander set over a bowl and let the sauce run through.
Place the sauce in a pan (one that will not burn easily) and place on full heat to reduce. When it is a more preferable consistency, reduce the heat to medium-low, mix in the rest of the bolognese and gently reheat while you cook your pasta.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
The same thing happened to me, the mince etc was swimming. I think it would work better if the water was ommitted altogether. My family were very disappointed with their dinner tonight and suggested that I gave the book away!

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
Well for 500g of mince plus onions carrots etc. It says 2 cans of tomatoes plus 2 cans full of water
#6 Fri 02 Jan 09 9:59pm
Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
Sod that!
If you want an easy bolognese, just finely your dice onions (1 large or 2 medium), garlic (3 cloves), carrots (2 medium) and celery (2) and sweat until soft and shiny. Brown the meat in beef dripping in a separate pan and add to the veg. Cooking on a low heat, add your tomatoes and no water. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally. When ready to serve, stir in chopped basil and season to taste with salt (ideally smoked sea salt) and freshly ground black pepper).
This will make a dry ragu, which is more traditional. If you prefer a wetter bolognese, then add 250ml cold water to the veg, when they have sweated, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Strain off the liquid and continue as normal, adding the liquid back to the bolognese about 5 minutes before finishing.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
I do pretty much the same as above, but like to add some tomato concentrate whilst simmering.
Also, instead of adding the cold water to the ragu, I would add some of the the water that the pasta is cooking in. Maybe it's something to do with the starchy quality, but it gives a much better finish.
Last tip. Keep the rind from the parmesan, and add to the the cooking ragu.
#8 Fri 02 Jan 09 10:08pm
Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
I suggested adding water to the soffrito to make a quick veg stock.
I sometimes add parmesan rind to the pasta water, letting it melt in for a few minutes before remaining and adding the pasta.
What you want for pasta water is a copious amount of salt (10g per litre), some protein, and, if you like, some oil (some people use it, some don't. If you've time to watch the pan, leave it out. If you're doing 10 things at once, whack a bit in).
Ideally, I'd cook pasta in a light poultry or meat stock.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
That's very similar to a recipie from a chef we once had. He would cook it to the stage of just before the toms, and then store it.
Have to say, maybe it's the influence of the MOL, but now have really set ways of cooking pasta, sauces etc...maybe should loosen up a little and try a different way.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
I change the recipe every time I cook a dish.
I guess it's a pursuit of culinary eudaimonia.

Chevron CEO Says Industry to Learn from BP Leak
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Discussions of safety were prominent at Chevron Corp (NYSE: CVX - news) 's annual shareholder meeting in Houston on Wednesday, as a blown-out BP Plc well continued to spew oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
John Watson, who took over as chief executive and chairman of the second-largest U.S. oil company this year, highlighted Chevron's improving safety record in an industry that he said could never completely eliminate risk.
"But we can mitigate risk," Watson told the meeting as he discussed last month's explosion on a BP-operated rig that led to the spill. "There will be lessons to learn. Our industry will learn them, our industry will share them."
Apart from the new man at the helm, it was also a different venue this year for Chevron, which held last year's meeting at its San Ramon, California headquarters. But familiar criticism from shareholders and activist representatives surfaced, including a massive potential legal liability in Ecuador.
Just this week, Chevron asked Ecuador's courts to disregard an environmental expert who had said the company should pay $27 billion (18 billion pounds) in damages for the pollution there.
The lawsuit contends that Texaco, which Chevron bought in 2001, polluted the jungle and damaged the health of local residents by dumping billions of gallons of contaminated water over two decades, before leaving in the early 1990s.
Watson expressed sympathy over the environmental damage that led to the lawsuit, but said Texaco had done its share of the remediation, and pinned the blame for any remaining problems on state-owned Petroecuador, which took over operations there.
Watson also answered criticism of Chevron's natural gas interests in Myanmar by saying such projects required long lead times, and many things could change before they were finished.
"Over that time period, we can see considerable change in host governments," he said. "In some cases, we may like the change, in some cases we may not."
Some of the environmentalists' concerns seemed to resonate with the rest of the shareholders. More than a quarter of them voted for a proposal to appoint a board director with environmental expertise, according to a preliminary count.
In the question and answer session, Antonia Juhasz, author of "The Tyranny of Oil," offered a heated critique of Chevron's environmental record and then joined a few other activists in several minutes of chanting "Chevron lies" before Watson brought the meeting to a close.
About three dozen protesters, including a few wearing turtle costumes, greeted shareholders with signs and more chants as they left Chevron's office in downtown Houston. The protesters were corralled by several city police officers, including five on horseback.
Five activists, including Juhasz, were arrested after the meeting, according to a spokeswoman for the protesters.
She said the other four had been refused entry to the meeting, including Reverend Ken Davis, who at last year's meeting lambasted former CEO David O'Reilly over pollution from Chevron's refinery in Richmond, California, where Davis lives.
One shareholder at Wednesday's meeting invited Watson to move Chevron's headquarters to Houston, where the company would be more welcome than it was in California. "They want gasoline, but no drilling," he said amid laughter. "Is that right?"
Watson, a California native who earned his undergraduate degree in the state, said he certainly enjoyed visiting Houston, but assured his shareholders that Chevron would remain based in California "for a long time."

Name: Melissa Gentry, PE, MBA
Title: Assistant City Manager for Operations
Where: City of Columbia, S.C.
Population: 129,000
What: Oversees Public Works, Utilities and Engineering, Parking Services, General Services, and Planning and Development Services.
Combined budget: $292 million
One of Melissa Gentry's favorite sayings is "bloom where you are planted," and that's what she's done since joining the City of Columbia, S.C., as an intern. She never dreamed of becoming assistant city manager back then. She was too focused on doing the best she could on the assignments she was given. As she moved up through the ranks, though, she's brought that determination to make a difference.
"My pride lies more with the comprehensive approach to fulfilling my obligations than with a single moment in time or any one project," she says. "I have the opportunity to make a difference in the city where I work, live, and raise my kids."
After creating a Sustainability Office within Public Works, Gentry hired a sustainability facilitator to guide the city's efforts. She also nominated the facilitator to serve on the American Public Works Association's new Center for Sustainability. The office has played an integral role in introducing sustainability to the profession as a result, with employees sharing their expertise via presentations and both regional and national publications.
Working with the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Gentry recently directed the state's first installation of on-street bicycle parking corrals. Generally seen only on the West Coast, the devices create parking for up to 14 bicycles in one parking space in crowded hospitality districts, freeing up sidewalk space and encouraging a sustainable mode of transportation.
"God's blessed me with a career that enables me to enhance the quality of life throughout Columbia and surrounding communities," she says.

How Internet trolling is affecting women's lives.

I thought it was funny and revealing that the Great American Subconscious was percolating up Photoshopped images of Palin getting fucked by Barack Obama's giant socialist cock.
But the events of the last few weeks have made me stop and think.
Let's start with Brit Hume of Fox News, who on Sunday managed the truly incredible feat of blaming Chris Christie's George Washington Bridge scandal on women:
"I have to say that in this sort of feminized atmosphere in which we exist today, guys who are masculine and muscular like that in their private conduct and are kind of old-fashioned tough guys run some risks—by which I mean that men today have learned the lesson the hard way that if you act like kind of an old-fashioned guy's guy, you're in constant danger of slipping out and saying something that's going to get you in trouble and make you look like a sexist or make you look like you seem thuggish or whatever."
So Christie is both a macho tough guy and the pitiful victim of a bunch of females? The mind boggles; the face palms. For poor-widdle-me victim-whining propaganda like that, you really need to call in the professionals at Fox.
This came six days after Amanda Hess's deeply disturbing article about the harassment women face on the Internet, which begins with the story of the many death threats she received from an anonymous man posting under the name "headlessfemalepig." Charming stuff like, "You suck a lot of drunk and drug fucked guys cocks … im going to rape you and remove your head. … You are going to die and I am the one who is going to kill you."
Hesscalled the cops, who brushed it off. She called the FBI, who brushed it off. And her inbox kept filling up with more: "Amanda, I'll fucking rape you. How does that feel?"
Hess' experience was not by any means an isolated incident. She cites a blogger named Alyssa Royse who dared to write a negative review of The Dark Knight, which earned this response: "you are clearly retarded, i hope someone shoots then rapes you." A writer at Jezebel named Lindy West got "I just want to rape her with a traffic cone." A technology writer named Kathy Sierra got "i hope someone slits your throat and cums down your gob."
The real shock is the statistics. In one study, Hess writes, "Feminine usernames incurred an average of 100 sexually explicit or threatening messages a day. Masculine names received 3.7."
A hundred to 3.7? That's a pretty fucking dramatic difference. Another statistic shows how large the chilling effect may be: "From 2000 to 2005, the percentage of Internet users who participate in online chats and discussion groups dropped from 28 percent to 17 percent entirely because of women's fall off in participation."
This makes my knee-jerk response—shrug it off, toughen up—seem beyond stupid. Especially when Hess throws in the story of Jessica Valenti, a feminist writer who was so frightened by her own Internet death threats that she fled her apartment and changed her bank accounts.
Knee-jerk response #2—disconnect—is equally inadequate. In a world where more and more work (and life) flows through, or on, the internet, most women don't have the option of logging off.
What is happening here is a hostile work environment on a global scale. Yet digital companies like Twitter and Reddit—and even pioneering liberal groups like the Electronic Freedom Foundation—continue to take absolutist positions on internet freedom. Even a liberal journalist like David Margolick on NPR tends to dismiss this kind of thing as "juvenile, immature, and obnoxious, but that is all they are … frivolous frat-boy rants."
Which brings us to knee-jerk reaction #3, which is that this is all just virtual. Leaving aside the troublesome philosophical issues that rise in any distinction between reality and illusion, Hess shows the real-world consequences. After fleeing her apartment, for example, Valenti also "stopped promoting her speaking events publicly, enlisted security for her public appearances, signed up for a service to periodically scrub the web of her private information, invested in a post-office box and begun periodically culling her Facebook friend list in an attempt to filter out readers with ulterior motives." Hess herself filed for a civil protection order against her persecutor, which took five visits to family court. But the day the protection order expired, the creep started writing again and even had the gall to send a LinkedIn request: "Your stalker would like to add you to his professional network."
After I read all this, I thought about how my wife and sister used to come home vibrating with rage at the hisses and catcalls of men on the street. But my mind still kept grasping at excuses—it's a big internet, a few crazies are bound to come out of the cracks, most men aren't like that.
Then a feminist writer named Jill Filipovic wrote an even more disturbing piece listing the threats she got on a law-school message board during her student days: "I want to brutally rape that Jill slut. … I'm 98 percent sure that she should be raped. … She's a normal-sized girl that I'd bang violently, maybe you'd have to kill her afterwards."
These were not random Internet crazies. They knew her. They wrote of seeing her around the law school, of knowing her ex-boyfriend. One even showed up at a law-school classroom to confront her. As Filipovic puts it: "Imagine going to work and every few days having people in the hallway walk up to you and say things like, 'Die, you dumb cunt' and 'you deserve to be raped.' … Consider how that would impact your performance and your sense of safety."
The most sensitive conservative response came from Ross Douthat in the New York Times. Clearly disturbed by the attacks, he began by criticizing his fellow conservatives: "The grotesque abuse that liberal, feminist writers can receive for being liberal feminists is a scandal that conservatives, especially, need to acknowledge and deplore."
But quickly, and with much more enthusiasm, he turned the tables to his favorite subject—slamming liberals who regard "sexual license as an unalloyed good" and want to "lash out against the strictures it feels that feminism and political correctness have placed on male liberty." For examples, he offered "lad magazines, pick-up artists and Seth MacFarlane on Oscar night." In his view, despite some artful hedging, the internet trolls are mostly liberal men who want to punish women "for the culture's failure to deliver a beer-commercial vision of male happiness."
Which brings me to my stash of Palin porn. I want to say that she started it by sexualizing herself with that famous wink to the audience at the Republican Convention that sent the tingle down Chris Matthews' leg, not to mention the pregnant-out-of-wedlock teenage daughter and all the pious Christian moralizing that accompanied it. Then I realized that sounds an awful lot like "she asked for it."
I'm confessing to this because I hate the tribalism of left and right. I tend to think we all want the same things—good jobs, happy children, loving partners—and just differ on the means. So I have to admit I see what Douthat seems to be getting at. I do want that beer-commercial happiness; I do want Palin punished for being so nasty and mean.
And it goes deeper than that. Men might dominate in the big world of money and business, but we all grow up under the dominion of a giant all-powerful woman who commands us to, ugh, behave. And when we grow up, we discover that despite all the myths of masculinity and its relationship to power, we aren't all powerful when it comes to our relationships to women. And if you are fat or shy or nerdy, you probably have felt it go beyond veto to actual scorn, which is even worse in a world where you're supposed to be powerful. It makes you a double loser. And losers "lash out."
That said, and maybe this is my own tribalism talking, but I would turn Douthat's emphasis on its head. All men are threatened by women's power, but conservatives are especially threatened for all the reasons we already know—gender equality, sexual and reproductive freedom, the crumbling patriarchy, women in the military, etc., etc., etc. And let's face it—the tone of these sex trolls is the tone of the right-wing. It is the sneering contemptuous and borderline-violent tone of right-wing trolls in the comments section of liberal websites, the sneering and contemptuous tone of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin and all the other right-wing radio hosts and the sneering and contemptuous tone hidden in plain sight in the smug insanity of Brit Hume's Christie defense.
Consider, for example, the tone of radio host Pete Santelli when he attacked Hillary Clinton last summer: "I want to shoot her right in the vagina and I don't want her to die right away; I want her to feel the pain and I want to look her in the eyes and I want to say, on behalf of all Americans that you've killed…"
Okay, enough of that. You get the point. And this is not to let my tribe off the hook, because the nastiness seems to be rising on both sides. In response to a perfectly reasonable article in Salon on Wednesday called "I Fell in Love with a Republican," in which a liberal writer named Samantha Dunn explains how she overcame her politics for a conservative man who was loyal, funny, well-read and adventurous—a former punk rocker, even—some Salon readers responded like so: "Next article in the same set: 'I married a KKK member! He's really sweet and nice, I promise! He is loyal to his family! He's a wonderful guy!'"
That's so depressing. Call me old-fashioned, but I think liberals should be, you know, liberal. My usual answer to all things is that less repression would make for less self-hatred and, therefore, less cruelty. (Old joke: Sex is a misdemeanor—the more you miss, the meaner you get.) But alas, Samantha Dunn and her husband notwithstanding, good sex doesn't solve everything. So let's make a deal. On behalf of the liberal tribe, I'll delete those Palin pictures and try not to laugh at that kind of partisan snark ever again if you right-wing hotheads try to get back to the old cloth-coat Republican virtues of decency and community. If we all stop being so goddamn mean, maybe we'll find out what we've been missing.

Whether the beek extracts a plug of cells and places it in a JZBZ cup, or if the beek scoops out the larva and puts it in a wax cup (or a JZBZ cup) the picture shows this being done open end up. The next photo invariably shows a sealed queen cell, pointy end down. So, how did it transition from open end up to closed end down? I"m thinking I can't immediately turn it open end down, 'cause the larva will simply slide out. Could someone clarify please? - Mike

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Yes, there's a new Obama-Muslim conspiracy theory on the right: The evangelical son of one of America's most famous evangelists says that President Barack Obama has allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to become part of the US government and influence administration decisions.
In an interview last week with Newsmax.com, a conservative website (that pushes the Obama-was-born-in-Kenya conspiracy theory), [see clarification at the end of the article] Franklin Graham, an evangelist like his father, Billy Graham, claimed that the fundamentalist Islamic political group has burrowed into the Obama administration and is shaping US foreign policy. Sounding a bit like Glenn Beck, Graham explained:
The Muslim Brotherhood is very strong and active in our country. It's infiltrated every level of our government. Right now we have many of these people that are advising the US military and State Department on how to respond in the Middle East, and it's like asking a fox, like a farmer asking a fox, "How do I protect my henhouse from foxes?" We've brought in Muslims to tell us how to make policy toward Muslim countries. And many of these people we've brought in, I'm afraid, are under the Muslim Brotherhood.
Infiltrated every level of our government—that's quite a claim. Yet Graham did not name a single Muslim Brotherhood infiltrator or cite a specific Obama administration decision that has been manipulated by these crafty behind-the-scenes Islamists. (The quotes in the Newsmax article reporting Graham's remarks differ slightly from what he actually said during his interview with Newsmax, according to the video of the interview, which is posted below.)
Though Graham did not back up his charge that Obama has opened the US government to the Muslim Brotherhood, he did say that he believes the president is more concerned with helping Muslims than Christians—both in the United States and abroad. When the Newsmax interviewer asked Graham if Obama has been doing enough to support Christianity and Christians at home and overseas, Graham replied, "No...If anything, it's the opposite." He added, "The Muslims are protected more in this country than Christians."
Graham did not cite specifics on this point, either. A spokesman said Graham was unable to comment on his remarks to Newsmax since he was en route to Africa.
While Graham did not question Obama's Christian faith during this interview, his comments tracked with the extremist right-wing claim that the president is a secret Muslim. And Graham has raised the matter of an Obama Islamic connection in the past. Last August, he told CNN that because Obama's father had been a Muslim, Obama had a perception "problem." The president's father, who was not involved in Obama's rearing, was born a Muslim, but as an adult he was an atheist. Obama was not raised as a Muslim.
It's no surprise that Franklin Graham is worried about Muslims sneaking into the US government. He has declared Islam "a very evil and wicked religion." Last year, he was disinvited from a National Prayer Breakfast event at the Pentagon after his Islam-bashing became an issue. (Sarah Palin quickly rushed to Graham's rhetorical rescue, pronouncing his excommunication from this ecumenical breakfast a travesty.)
For his part, Graham was not at all apologetic about his attacks on Islam. Instead, he called the revoking of his invitation "a slap at all evangelical Christians." He blamed the White House for orchestrating the move: "I don't know if it's exactly from President Obama. But I'm certain that some of the men around him are very much opposed to what we stand for and what we believe." Graham added, "I just don't understand why the president would be giving Islam a pass." Could it be precisely because the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated Obama's circles? Graham didn't say so back then. Perhaps that was before he had discovered this plot.
CLARIFICATION: After this story appeared, Newsmax sent a note taking issue with the article's characterization that it "pushes the Obama-was-born-in-Kenya conspiracy theory." The conservative site says,
Newsmax does not 'push' that Obama was born in Kenya. What Newsmax has written about in the past is that Obama was born in the U.S., but should reveal his birth certificate in order to put the matter to rest. Here is an example: http://www.newsmax.com/Ruddy/Obama-birth-certificate/2009/12/12/id/341849. And in this case, Newsmax columnist Ron Kessler makes it clear that Obama was born in the U.S.: http://www.newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/obama-birth/2008/12/08/id/326987.
Indeed, the site has not championed the Kenya conspiracy; we apologize for the error. But it has generally aligned itself with birthers who suggest there is some sort of conspiracy afoot involving Obama's birth documentation. During the 2008 election, the site ran a piece asking, "Where Was Obama Born?" In 2009, anti-Islam activist Pam Geller wrote a Newsmax article that noted there "might be something more sinister at work here," regarding the president's birth certificate. But the site has not gone Kenya.

no treatments at all for mites?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
True Mark, but I decided to go the route I did based on what was going on at the time. I felt the hive was too far in the wrong direction, it was a small hive and I didn't feel I had the time to baby it along with everything else I was doing to increase.
Regards, Barry
I've been using the 4.9 wax foundation I milled at the Lusby's from my own wax. I'm not that happy with it cause there is no cell wall ridge at all, so it's very easy for bees to ignore the cell size and build larger. I'll be trying out the PF-120's next year and if that goes well, I'll use up my wax and then switch to all PF's.
OK, third time, NO treatments!
Regards, Barry
good work barry. i'm a little dense at times.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
We've identified the definition of success is variable according to one's own goals. To the original question on how long it takes to be successful? It can be done in one season. I've seen the results of my own complete stock change. I went from a winter survival rate of less than 50 % while treating, to an average of 98.9 % survival over the last two winters. Absolutely no treatments were administered. For the last three years. I've got some hives I acquired who have not been treated for 7+ years and have never been a dead out. Most folks will never get there, especially the ones who never try, only insisting it can't be done without treatment. I've noticed we have several of those commenting on this thread. To be successful will require a lot of research to acquire certain characteristics in your stock, as well as an above average understanding of proper management techniques, honeybee behavior, and nutritional requirements. You'll also need a deep down drive to devote yourself and your operation to this, and not believe all the nay saying that it can't be done. You may at some point take a nice loss. I've yet to read about regimentally treating operations not losing bees as well... To each their own.
Yes Oldtimer, EFB, not AFB.

This will be my 13th year treatment free. I do raise a lot of queens each year from the best survivor stock in addition to other VSH stock. As others have mentioned any production hives that aren't producing get nuc'd up and new queens added. So, it's a constant rotation of new young vigor being added each year. Without that I don't think you can hold on. I rely on swarms and my catcher hives to help make up for my annual losses. I get a good harvest of honey from all the production hives if I can leave them alone separate from my queen rearing needs for stock. I feel I'm successful in the ones that are able to overwinter. Pretty simple. I think the saying " if you want a lot of bees or hives, start with a lot more bees and hives".
Also, in addition to the treatments, I really don't think you can forget climate and winter locations. Some of us deal with some harsh conditions that have a drastic effect on our numbers and success.

We are TF, no chemicals used for over 5 years. In that time we have grown from 10 hives to over 200. The last cpl years we have sold 40 to 50 nucs each spring. This year I sold 400 queens and plan to double that next year. This year we averaged over 100 lbs honey off of 150 production hives. We used VSH breeders the last 2 years, MN Hyg the year before that, and Purvis Bro. the year before that. Our average losses each year are less than 20%. We are not migratory and our bees have good forage of varying type thru the year. Althogh I would consider us very successful what works for us may not work for you.
Honeyhouseholder looses 100% of his bees each winter but I would consider him sucessfull.
A migratory beekeeper who looses 40% of his hives but makes up for it in splits each year is successfull if he meets his contract requirements and makes the profit he expects.
There is no one test of success.
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
Life is a mix of failure and success. If you learn from your failures then you turn them into a success.the university of Hohen Neuendorf
is using infrared cameras to monitor which sister families are are responsible for VSH. Among other things they can then trace it back
to the one drone via genetic markers that mated with the queen.

Summer Thursdays
Every Thursday in July and August, 5:30–8:30 p.m.
Set begins at 6:30 p.m. Regular Museum admission applies. Performances take place in the Sculpture Garden. In the event of rain, the Garden will close, and music will take place in Theater 1. Please note: Sculpture Garden and indoor seating are limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Musical acts for the 2016 series are presented in conjunction with the exhibition BRUCE CONNER: IT'S ALL TRUE, and organized in collaboration with PopRally.
Music played a key role in Bruce Conner's oeuvre. Throughout his career, he collaborated with composers and scored his films with popular and experimental music. In the late 1960s Conner improvised light shows for live musical performances and during the late 1970s he avidly documented the San Francisco punk rock scene through photographs. Conner incorporated sound into installations and even sculptural assemblages, one of which featured playback from a concealed tape recorder. MoMA's 2016 Summer Thursdays series kicks off with a performance of longtime Conner collaborator Terry Riley's iconic composition In C (1964)—the score to Conner's final moving-image work, Easter Morning (2008)—by an orchestra of raga musicians. The following weeks feature acts that embody the unconventional spirit of the artist and his work, in musical genres ranging from indie rock to neo-psych to pop punk to experimental electronic music.
Snacks and beverages in the Sculpture Garden
The Garden Bar offers drinks and snacks at the northeast corner of the Sculpture Garden. The menu of homemade snacks includes specialty hot dogs, soft pretzels, and baguette sandwiches, along with a selection of wines, craft-beers, and cocktails. In the event of rain, bar will be closed.
Terrace dining (rain or shine)
Terrace 5 is located on the fifth floor, with views overlooking the Sculpture Garden. Chef Dan Jackson's menu features contemporary American cuisine with a focus on light, seasonal plates.

What You'll Need: scriptures, GAK 312: Captain Moroni, blank paper, writing or coloring tools, bendy straw for each child, stapler.
You can also choose to download the pdf of LESSON 23 for easy printing. If you download, please leave a comment here on what you like about this lesson. Note: GAK vs GAB pictures explained here.
Scripture: Alma 48:11 - And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country...
Opening Song: I Will Be Valiant (PCS #162)
Today we are going to learn about two men who were each military commanders—Captain Moroni and Amalickiah.
Amalickiah was a Nephite by birth, but he had entirely forgotten the Lord. By lying and murder he became the king of the Lamanites. Amalickiah wanted to defeat the Nephites in battle so he could become king over both the Nephites and the Lamanites.
Captain Moroni was the chief commander of the Nephite armies. He was a strong and righteous man who loved the Lord and loved his people. He had sworn with an oath to protect his people from Amalickiah and the Lamanite army.
(display Captain Moroni Raises the Title of Liberty)
When Moroni heard what Amalickiah was doing, he became angry. He tore his coat to make a flag. On it he wrote the things that were the MOST important to him. Things he did not want to lose. He wrote: "In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children". He fastened the flag to a pole and called it the title of liberty. Then, dressed in his battle armor, he prayed to God, asking Him to allow the people to keep the freedom they had.
When Moroni finished praying, he went among the people, waving the title of liberty in the air. He cried out, "Whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them".
The people came running, dressed in their armor and tearing their cloaks as a symbol of the covenant they were making to obey the Lord. They gathered around Captain Moroni, ready to defend their freedom.
When Amalickiah saw that Moroni's army was larger than his, he was afraid. He and his followers left to join the Lamanites. Moroni tried to stop them because he did not want them to stir up the Lamanites to battle. Amalickiah and a few of his men escaped, but Captain Moroni captured the others and took them back to Zarahemla.
Most of Amalickiah's captured followers were willing to covenant with Captain Moroni's people to defend freedom, and they were set free. Moroni placed a title of liberty on every tower in the Nephite land, and the Nephites again had peace.
Moroni was protected by Heavenly Father because he was righteous and loved the Lord. We can be protected and have peace in our hearts when we know we are standing up for what is right.
Bear your testimony about the peaceful feeling and protection that comes from choosing the right. Share a time in your lfie when you felt choosing the right protected you from harm.

Laddie Bruce Jones
Laddie Bruce Jones
Laddie Bruce Jones was born Jan. 10, 1925, to Charles and Dorothea Jones in South Dakota. In 1940, they moved to a farm in Minnesota and he graduated from Pine River High School in 1943.
He married Mary Dabill in 1948. After working on his dad's farm and then working on a farm in North Dakota, he came back and took over his dad's farm. Laddie and Mary raised their family on this farm. In 1980, Laddie sold the farm and moved to Oregon to work with son, Doug. Then God called them to work at Flying H Youth Ranch. They worked there nine months a year until his health started failing.
They moved in with Anita, who helped Mary care for him until the Lord took him home to Heaven on Sept. 7, 2013.
Laddie was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Dorothea; sisters, Betty Bartel and Bonnie; and brothers, Lester, Kenneth and Gene.
He is survived by his wife, Mary; children, Bill, Patty, Anita, Doug, Liz and Phil; sisters, June Velsvaag and Grace King; and brothers, Chuck and Leland.
