The easy, cynical approach is to say that Masai Ujiri decided to honour the final year of Dwane Casey's contract as Toronto Raptors head coach because Casey is a tailor-made scapegoat should the 2013-14 regular season go all pear-shaped.
Casey and Ujiri, the Raptors' president and general manager of basketball operations, are aware of the perception. The salve for Casey – if he needs it – is that under Tim Leiweke, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment doesn't seem scared to wield the axe or have time for dainty political games.
Leiweke, MLSE's president and chief operating officer, had pushed Ujiri's predecessor, Bryan Colangelo, into the land of make-work projects. Colangelo hasn't been heard from since.
Casey confirmed there will be changes to his coaching staff, and some of the low-hanging fruit has been pruned – a numbers guy here, a numbers guy there, and scout Alvin Williams. Spare the tears. This is what bad teams ought to do. Ujiri and Leiweke are not the Visigoths portrayed in some corners of the media, but neither do they seem like gentlemen searching for scapegoats. More likely they're interested in trying to figure out what levers to pull to put themselves in position for Andrew Wiggins, the LeBron James of Canada, should he elect to come out for the 2014 draft.
Far from being a scapegoat, it appears Ujiri views Casey, rightly, as the type of defensive mind that can build the foundation of a contending team. Players on run-and-gun teams make a lot of money because of the weight of their statistics, and that is not a cost-effective way for a market such as Toronto to do business. Casey came to Toronto with a résumé that stressed defence, and immediately turned the strike-season Raptors into a tough defensive group only to have it undone last season by a panicky Colangelo. You think the Raptors need an identity? They had one until Colangelo overreached.
Casey, whose Raptors record is 57-91 (.385) over two seasons, including the strike-shortened 2011-12 season, did not want to fight old battles, but he did acknowledge that: "Somehow, some way, the word 'playoffs' hit us last year … and put us out of whack.
"As an organization, we wanted to get better offensively, but put too much time in on the offensive side." Then Casey caught himself. "No, that's not right. We put in the time we needed offensively, but at the same time, took a step back defensively. We will get back to that. I promise that. We will get back to a defensive-first mentality."
It was telling that not once on Thursday was Andrea Bargnani's name mentioned. Kyle Lowry's name came up only when Casey was asked, and that was not the case with Jonas Valanciunas, DeMar DeRozan and, perhaps surprisingly, Rudy Gay, the latter of whom recently met with Ujiri and Casey over dinner.
"Our core guys can score," Casey said, dismissing the notion that the existing roster can't be coached to get the balance right. "Jonas has shown he can be a dominant scorer in the paint. DeMar is a scorer. Rudy is a scorer. We have to surround those guys with tough players.
"But," Casey added, "right, wrong or indifferent, he [DeRozan] and Rudy are going to be guarding the other teams' best perimeter players. So they will have to be our best players defensively as well as offensively."
Gay has had corrective surgery for his vision and has put on muscle, according to Casey, who suggested Gay was not up to the physical challenge of being a go-to guy following his trade to the Raptors after being a "second or third option" with the Memphis Grizzlies.
This season was a waste, and now it's up to others to decide whether the Raptors tank in an attempt to get into the draft lottery. Nobody knows where it's going, and a few deep breaths will be needed, but the new guy got this move right.

Clean Beach Guarantee
Worried about planning a beach trip as the oil situation unfolds? Here's another great reason to go ahead and book. Senior Writer Valerie Luesse reports from the Gulf Coast:
Sterling Resorts has vacation properties on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the Florida panhandle — both of which are frequent vacation destinations for my husband and me. So we were curious when we read about Sterling's guarantee of an "oil-free vacation."
Apparently, it's true. I just booked a beach trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and the Sterling agent I spoke with told me that if the oil spill closes local beaches before we get there, we can cancel with no penalty and get a 100% refund of our deposit.
Also, she said that if the beaches close while we're there, and we decide to cut our trip short, we'll only be charged for the days before the beach closing. So we're booked at Sterling Breeze in Panama City, Florida. We stayed there in November and loved it. (If you book a condo on one of their upper floors, the view from your living room is nothing but beautiful water — it's like being in a boat on the Gulf…with flatscreen TV and a coffee maker.) Bonus: they gave us a discount since we're returning guests, and that brought the cost of our trip down a bit."
Sterling says their company is working with county, state, and federal officials to stay updated on any projected impact on gulf coast beaches. For questions regarding current reservations or future bookings, call 866-573-7678 (888-5-RESORT).
This just in: We hear that the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa is offering a "Stress-free Summer Guarantee," which includes a 7‐day cancellation policy for all guests and a 24-hour cancellation policy if the city, county, state, or federal government closes local beaches because of the spill. For more information, call (850) 267-9500 or (800) 367-1271, or visit http://www.HiltonSandestinBeach.com.
UPDATE (6/10/10): South Seas Island Resort in Captiva, FL announced a Clean-Beach Guarantee, with some fine print. The policy states: "If the vacation is disrupted*, a 100 percent refund will be provided up to one
week prior to the stay. The refund includes room, resort fee and taxes." We're checking to see if this means you won't get a refund if oil washes up less than a week before your stay. Stay tuned…

Kate Hudson: All Aboard with Her Boys!
Gearing up for an outbound flight, Kate Hudson showed up at Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France today (October 19).
Joined by her sons Ryder Robinson and Bingham Bellamy, the "Fool's Gold" actress looked like she had her hands full as she walked towards her private jet.
Kate is featured in the newly-released Ann Taylor Holiday ad campaign, and she told press she loved the goodies she modeled.
"I love the jewelry. The scarves are great, they're doing leather gloves and cute little slippers. I love that there's still color in holiday. They're still incorporating bold, bright colors and prints."

Mama calls it Sophie's imagination, but Sophie calls it magic. Everything Sophie draws comes to life, and one day when Sophie feels lonely, she decides to draw a friend. But the polar bear cub isn't very happy in Sophie's room, where it is much too warm. So Sophie tries again. But the duck wants to swim in a pool full of water. And the giraffe is too tall for the tiny room! It isn't long after the elephant shows up that things begin to get a little too wild and Sophie must demand that everyone go outside. In the backyard, with all her new friends, Sophie meets someone new—someone who happens to be an expert lion trainer. It looks like Sophie's magic may have worked after all.
Featuring a charming crew of animals and two children who believe in magic, this sweet and funny picture book teaches children to combat loneliness with creativity, persistence, and a little imagination. Filled with the lovely watercolor illustrations of Katia Wish, Amy Dixon's Sophie's Animal Parade takes children on a journey toward friendship.
The mice of New York City dread the day of the New York City Marathon more than any other—the crowds, the large shoes, the noise. All of them, that is, except for Preston. He and his family live underneath the starting line on the Verrazano Bridge and every year Preston has dreamed of joining all the other runners in the marathon. This year, Preston is determined to make his dream come true, even though his family tells him that mice are not fit to run marathons. He trains hard leading up to the big day and when the race starts, he successfully dodges sneakers and crosses the finish line, showing his family that mice can do much more than just scurry.

"Call Marcia! Her cakes are to die for! We first went to By the Dozen bakery and were not to impressed by the small square of a sample they offered us, that small sample was also dry and mostly flavorless. Following that appointment was one with Marcia, she does the tastings out of her home, we went armed with pictures of what I wanted, we determined a cake and left with about 2lbs of cake from our tasting (Now thats what I call a tasting) all of her cakes are made with butter not shortening like most bakeries and you could tell such a difference, they were the most moist cakes I've ever eaten! The cake turned out beautifully but tasted even better! I highly recommend her!"

"Roger was very nice, but we feel that he didn't do as good of a job he could have done. He was waiting for us to move the night along, when we feel it would have been a lot better if he did that since we were so consumed with our guests and enjoying our time."

"For the price, this venue really can't be beat. We had an outdoor wedding and the scenery there is gorgeous. But, if you don't make the effort to stay in contact with them, you'll never hear from them. Fran, who does all of the wedding planning, is not the best planner. But, as stated, for the price, this location is well worth it."
Di Giovanni's Ristorante4866 Bluestem Rd

"Overall, our experience was good, but there is a definite lack of communication with this restaurant. There doesn't seem to be a single person in charge of banquets, which makes planning a reception there very difficult. Generally the food is excellent, but some of the food at our reception was just average. In the end, everything seemed to go smoothly and the prices were reasonable."

Trina Featuring Lil Mo "Cut Her Off (Remix)"
After Nicki Minaj slammed "Loyal" implications near the end of her Summer Jam set (because dudes aren't really loyal either), Trina and Lil Mo connect to flip K Camp's "Cut Her Off" for the ladies.
The two remind listeners that if the fellas aren't acting right, they're just as expendable; it isn't just the other way around. "So what you stayin for? He don't love you no more/Better get a grip girl, he ain't nothin' move on," Trina raps.
The remix is the latest in responses to noteworthy tracks that come in the expense of the opposite sex. "Looking Ass Nigga" got a remix aimed at the women from Cassidy. "Loyal" had its ladies only remix featuring Keyshia Cole, K. Michelle, Mila J, Lil Mo and Da Brat.

Hello All,
I just figured i'd pass this info along so no one else will get screwed up. I just had an envelope of decals retruned to me for "insufficient postage" from an overseas destination. For the last few years, a common envelope would get ANYWHERE international for the standard "Air Mail" 94 cent stamp. Apparently, that has increased to an even $1.
My apologies to those whose decals were delayed, and a heads up to those shipping international. Thanks.

I am sure the value has gone up since your Dad bought it. Winchesters just went through a buying frenzz when they closed their plant. Prices shot up but have leveled off now except for cowboy models.
If you do sell it some day you will regret it. I'll bet on that. I got my Fathers shot gun,my Grandfathers rifle, and my rifle my Uncle bought me. Not for sale.

Some D.C. fans have been put off by the amount of Ravens coverage in recent days on Washington media outlets like WTOP, WJLA and WUSA. If those outlets offer minimal Ravens coverage during the regular season, these fans argue, they shouldn't suddenly pretend the Ravens are a home team in the playoffs.
Comcast SportsNet, of course, has no such dilemma. While the regional sports network is based in Bethesda, it offers extensive Ravens coverage and weekly shows in both the D.C. and Baltimore markets all season. Which is why CSN is going all crazy this week for the Super Bowl.
The network sent 22 people to New Orleans this week, including six on-air staffers and a variety of producers, managers and engineers. That crew will produce more than 28 hours of live Super Bowl coverage, and will also work in tandem with CSN Bay Area, which has a similar group of people covering the Niners. (Including Dave Feldman, formerly of WTTG. The side-by-side sets are above.)
Among the highlights of the week:
* A daily half-hour program called "Ravens Showdown on the Bayou," hosted by Chris Miller and Brad Jackson from New Orleans. It will air weekdays at 5:30 and be replayed at 11:30, except on Wednesday. There will also be 90-minute editions Saturday at 11:30 p.m. and Sunday at 9 a.m.
* Special editions of SportsNet Central and SportsTalk Live from New Orleans. Brian Mitchell and Jackson will co-host, from the Super Bowl city.
* Live news conferences all week, with Ravens News Conference Live airing Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and 49ers News Conference Live airing from 9 to 10:15 a.m. on the same days. There will also be live coverage of the Harbaugh brothers's Friday news conference at 9:30 a.m.
* Special airings of Ravens Kickoff and Ravens Postgame Live on Sunday, before and after the game. The pregame show is scheduled to run from 5-6 p.m., with the postgame show airing live after the game and encoring at midnight and 7 a.m. the next morning. It will be hosted by Chris Miller, with appearances from Jackson, Antonio Freeman, Rob Carlin, Brent Harris and others.
Ravens fans, I'm sure, will appreciate these purple excesses of coverage.
"Our problem has alrways been if you're a Ravens fan and you live in Frederick or Montgomery or P.G., you don't get any news about us during the week," Ravens President Dick Cass recently told me. "That's why [CSN] is important; they cover us every day."
And I'm positive that more than one Redskins fan will find reason to complain.

Dental Floss
Most people find that inexpensive waxed floss makes this chore easy and a little more pain-free than just-as-economical unwaxed floss. "It slides comfortably between most teeth and doesn't fray as much as unwaxed floss does," says Charles K. Perle, D.M.D., a spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry and a dentist in Jersey City, New Jersey. But if your teeth are spaced closely together or if you have old fillings that have expanded, you may want to spend an extra dollar or two on smooth, snag-resistant dental floss or tape (thin, flat floss). It glides between tight teeth even more easily and can be more gentle on gyms than waxed floss.

Been waiting share this cover for my Christmas romance SANTA'S WAYWARD ELF and now I can! So love it! She's totally how I picture the elf heroine! The talented Ramona is the artist!
Look for it Dec 2!
Being one of Santas elves isnt all sugar plums and candy canes.
At least not for Sosie. Taller than the other elves, shes always had a problem fitting in at the North Pole, so when the transport sled shes on breaks down in New York City on Christmas Eve, she cant resist slipping away to explore the world of the big people. While shes having fun, the transport sled takes off, leaving the naïve elf stranded.
Fortunately, handsome police detective Derek Clayton comes to her rescue, offering to let her stay at his apartment. Having heard horror stories about the big people, Sosie is both surprised and relieved to meet such a kind, sweet man. Not to mention one so gorgeous and well-built.
Even though Sosie expects the North Pole to send out a search party any day, she finds herself falling for Derek anyway. She desperately wants to tell him shes an elf, but knows hell never believe her. When the lies and omissions start to pile up, Derek can draw only one conclusionSosie is working for the mob boss hes been after for years.
Just when things seem like they cant get any worse, the chief of elfin security shows up to drag Sosie back to the North Pole. How is a runaway elf supposed to overcome a determined security elf, dangerous mobsters and a suspicious boyfriend all while keeping her pointed ears a secret?
*hugs* Paige

"I love the round edges and the design with shadows. The leaves on the personal picture was a beautiful touch. We were having a fairy performer for my daughter's birthday and this card was perfect for it! I love that the card emphasized my daughter's picture since the design was simply elegant."
"Went with this for a tea party with queen elsa 5th bday. Wanted something subtle with snowflakes, pretty, etc. The quality of this card is fantastic. I did add the shimmer so the metallic elements popped. No regrets. Worth every penny."
"We used a black and white photo for our granddaughter's 1st birthday announcements and they looked amazing! The colors are so soft and feminine."
"I ordered these for my daughter's 4th princess birthday party. I received them faster then expected, the color was exactly like the color on the screen, great quality, friendly customer service and lots of compliments from friends and family who received the invitations!"
"Almost every person who has received the card has specifically told me how amazing they think it is. Many said it was the best invitation they've received. I choose not to use a photo and instead included the text "This message will self destruct in 3, 2, 1..." in that space. This card definitely has set the tone for a super spy party."

@ na2998. What you are saying is not entirely true. The "shudder" he is experiencing could be caused by his torque converter failing to lock up and the tranny shifting between gears. Here's the test. When your tranny starts shuddering, move the transmission mode selector from D to 4 or move the mode switch from A to M. This puts the tranny in manual or sport mode. The transmission should not shudder cause it now has different shift points in Sport mode and no shift points in Manual mode. Anyway, the TCC relies on signals from the module. The modules sensors work off of fluid pressure, so, cloggs and thick/hunt fluid can jack the shifting quality. I say change the fluid. Do a simple drain, filter fluid change. Should be about 4 qts. Runs tranny, shift through gears and top off fluid until it over flows. You have to work quick as the tranny must be kept within 30-50 degrees celcius. - Big Biz IL.

Almost from the beginning, Johns subverted the function of the target by abandoning the high contrast between yellow and blue bands and creating instead monochromatic Target images. In paintings such as White Target of 1957 or Gray Target and Green Target both of 1958, the use of a single color renders the motif of the target almost invisible, even as its application—using paint with encaustic and collage—thickens, adding to our impression of the painting as a heavy slab. Defined now through the topography of the concentric bands alone, the target is transformed from an instrument of seeing into an allover surface that solicits sensation primarily through touch.
Painting here becomes a physical operation, as if the methodical depositing of a medium in short strokes on canvas were an end in itself rather than a means for creating pictorial illusion or invoking states of mind. Heightening this quality of his technique during the middle to late 1950s, Johns began to build up the surfaces of his paintings with collage—many small fragments of newsprint and other papers pasted down during the production (one might almost say the construction) of the painting. Further, the paint was often mixed with encaustic, a waxlike medium that stiffens the paint such that the autonomous identity of each brushstroke is preserved. Collage and encaustic also serve to emphasize the object-quality of the painted canvas—its role, for Johns, not just as a support for a medium but also as a material thing.

The frigid wind bit at the girl's face as she trudged through Mt. Silver. She had finally walked the length of the tunnel that she'd been on for days now. It had seemed to be endless. Whenever she had tried to look up, the icy gusts would only sting her eyes, but she'd try again and again. This time, she saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Had she finally found what she was looking for? She tried her hardest to run to the light, but her tired body could only make it to a slow jog. She reached the end and looked out and around. The view was breathtaking. She was at the top of the mountain and could see the Johto region to the west and Kanto region to the east. She kept walking up the mountain. The higher she climbed, the more the storm seemed to calm. She no longer had to squint into the wind and only a chilly breeze whipped her hair around. She was surprised when she found stairs leading up an incredibly steep slope, one she could not hope to climb if they had not been there. She could see the top stair, but everything after that was covered in clouds. She began to climb quickly, the adrenaline pumping through her veins allowing her to run. She watched her step to make sure she did not trip, but halfway up the stairs she looked up to the top. There were feet in old, dirty tennis shoes standing on the top stair. The girl only ran faster to the top, soon able to make out the face of a boy with shaggy brown hair.
"You received my letters, Hazel?" The boy asked. He wore no jacket to shield him from the cold, only a grey t-shirt with a hood and grey, baggy pants. Hazel immediately knew he was.
"Azul…" the girl marvelled.
Chapter One
A boy raced out of his home. He jumped from his front porch to the stone sidewalk. Before he could reach his white picket fence, a voice called out to him.
"Soru! Are you going to leave without her present?" His mother called from the porch. She was waving a small box, wrapped in shiny blue paper and topped with a bow, above her head. In her other arm she held a small girl, no older than three. She smiled cutely at her flustered brother.
"Crap!" Soru screeched. He ran back to the porch and swiftly grabbed ahold of the box.
Soru finally made it out of the boundaries of his white picket fence and raced down the street. The sun was beginning to set, and the street lights were beginning to come on, lighting his path. It wasn't long before he reached his destination. He ran up the porch and knocked impatiently on the screen door.
A woman opened up the door. Her face brightened whenever Soru walked in. He slipped off his shoes and darted for the stairs, box in hand.
"So, tomorrow our journey begins, Hazel. I can't wait," Soru, the boy with now messy hair, told a girl. He wore dark grey cargo pants and a red t-shirt that was equipped with a black hood. "It's been a long two months since I got Torchic, but it's worth it," Soru said, pulling a Poké Ball from his pocket and pressing the center button on the ball, causing it to expand.
Hazel smiled. "I can't wait for tomorrow either! I finally turn ten, and I get my first Pokémon!"
"Then, we can travel throughout Hoenn together! And you have no need to be scared or anything; you'll have your best buddy, Soru with you!" Soru announced confidently. He held his Poké Ball out from his body and struck a pose.
The girl sighed. "Yeah…"
Hazel had long, dark hair that was pulled up into ponytail and was pinned in the front. She wore light blue pajamas, ready to go to sleep once Soru left.
Soru frowned. "Well, you are wanting to journey with me, right? Hazel, if I waited for two months, doing nothing, I'm going to be very angry at you!"
"Of course I want to travel with you! We've been like best friends for years and I wouldn't give up an adventure with you for anything!" Hazel snapped.
Soru crossed his arms and blew his hair out of his face. "You just didn't sound very excited, that's all."
"It's hard to explain," Hazel mumbled. Before Soru could ask her to clarify, Hazel's mother walked into her room.
"Hazel, you need to get to sleep if you want to get out early tomorrow," she exclaimed.
Soru nodded. "I'll get going, then. You get your rest, and tomorrow we'll go see which Pokémon you get!" He then bowed his head slightly and left the room.
Once it was clear that Soru had left their house, Hazel's mother turned and laughed. "That boy is full spunk! Reminds me of your father whenever he was younger."
"You and dad met in Kanto, didn't you?" Hazel asked before her mom could turn and leave her mess of a room.
"We met in Kanto, then, once you were born, we moved to Hoenn for a new beginning," her mom explained. "Anymore questions, dear?"
Hazel smiled and put her head down on her pillow. "No, I'm good. I'm just –"
"You don't want to travel in Hoenn, do you?" Her mom interrupted. "Why not? Hoenn is beautiful."
"We've been around Hoenn though! You've taken me everywhere in Hoenn. I thought that maybe I could start fresh with new sights somewhere else," Hazel explained.
Hazel's mother then turned the lights out. "You have tonight to collect your thoughts. I know that you'll pick what is best for you." She then closed the door and walked down the hallway, away from Hazel's room.
"I just don't want to leave Soru alone," Hazel mumbled before falling asleep. Dreams of Pokémon filled her head.
"Hazel," a voice called out softly. "Hazel, it's time to wake up…" Hazel suddenly felt herself being pushed and she shot up in her bed. Soru stood at the side of her bed.
"I was asleep for, like, an hour," Hazel exclaimed before sitting up.
Soru nodded and laughed. "That's probably because your mind is restless! Let's get going!"
"I would like to eat first. I'm starving," she said with a frown. She held at her stomach. "Need… food…"
Her mother walked in. "That's great! I made food," she announced. "You can join us too, Soru. I made French toast!"
Hazel quickly got dressed before going downstairs. She blue leggings under a black mini skirt. She had on a black and blue under armor top that squeezed to her figure. On top of that was a high cut blue shirt with a black hood. She made her way downstairs to find Soru gulping down thin slices of French Toast that he had drenched in syrup. She took a seat at the table and began to drizzle her own syrup on her food.
"Ten long years! I've waited ten long years!" She said before taking a bite of her food.
Soru nodded and finished chewing a bite. "Do you have any idea who you're going to pick yet, Hazel? You have the choice between Torchic, Mudkip, and Treecko!"
"Well, I know from the past couple of months that Torchic could make an awesome partner," Hazel thought.
Soru grinned and pulled out a Poké Ball. "C'mon out, Torchic!" The Poké Ball burst open and a white light emerged. From the white light, a small orange Pokémon appeared on the dinner table.
"Torchic!" It cried out happily. It looked down and noticed that there was food on the table but before it could swipe any, Soru grabbed it and gave it a hug to prevent from any food stealing.
"Keep your Torchic under control, Soru," Hazel's mother snapped. "I don't want any dirty feet on my table!"
"Sorry…" Soru mumbled. "So, anyway! What Pokémon will you be picking?"
"I don't know yet! You can't just pick a Pokémon because it is that Pokémon. You and that Pokémon have to match," Hazel explained. "Why did you pick Torchic?"
Torchic squirmed before Soru forced it to stop by squeezing it harder. "Torchic…" It cried before giving up.
Soru grabbed a piece of French toast and fed it to his Pokémon. "I picked Torchic because it was the right choice… I guess the same way that you're going to pick."
"I just know that I can't wait!" Hazel then finished her food and got up from the table and put her dish in the sink. Whenever she turned, she found her mom twirling around a dark blue beret in her hands.
"I think that it may keep the shade out of your eyes," her mom commented before placing it on Hazel's head. "Happy Birthday, Hazel…"
Hazel grabbed it and hugged it to her chest. "Thanks mom!" She looked at Soru who as still holding Torchic. He was now trying to inch his way outside. "We have to go!" She declared before charging outside with Soru.
And their Pokémon journey now begins.

Demos have shot at PIL 5A title, but couldn't go distance with Glencoe
The football season usually is a learning process at Jefferson. Lesson No. 1 came last week, when the relatively inexperienced Democrats lost 37-21 at Glencoe. Class will be in session again tonight when the Demos travel to another Hillsboro school, Liberty.
Jeff has talent to win at the new 5A level. 'We didn't play that badly against Glencoe,' new coach Anthony Stoudamire says. 'There were about five plays that made the difference. Three times we got in the red zone and didn't score.'
The athletes at Jefferson typically don't take part in a lot of offseason football camps, passing leagues and workouts like players with the most successful large programs in the metro area. The Democrats tend to take longer to jell. Expect to see some progress tonight, at Eagle Point on Sept. 22 and in the home opener Sept. 29 versus Benson.
Then comes the Oct. 6 PIL 5A opener at home against Roosevelt, a game that could decide the eventual league champ. Those two teams did not meet last year.
The Democrats have potential playmakers in quarterback Kalonji Paschal, a junior transfer from Benson who is a dangerous runner; backs Dominic Dixon and Tremaine Channel; and receiver-linebacker Herschel Slaughter.
Sophomore Marlon Miles, brother of former Jeff and Kansas basketball star Aaron Miles, is at slotback. 'He probably gained over 100 yards on only four carries last week,' Stoudamire says. Miles can line up at QB, too.
Donte Savage was an all-PIL linebacker last season. The 235-pound senior is back on defense and playing offensive tackle. 'He's a great tight end, but with our numbers, I need him at tackle,' Stoudamire says.
Norman Richmond, who became the first PIL state wrestling champion since 1994 when he won at 125 pounds last season, is playing fullback and defensive back and some slot at about 140 pounds. 'Size-wise, he's a little challenged, but I wouldn't trade his heart for anything,' Stoudamire says.
Jefferson was still in the Glencoe game in the fourth quarter when sophomore punter Anthony Robinson took a snap in his end zone, took off running and got tackled at the 1-yard line to set up a Crimson Tide touchdown.
'I don't know what he saw, but he did it on his own. He tried to make a play to pump his team up,' Stoudamire says.
Just one of those lessons to learn. 'He's a great kid with a lot of talent,' Stoudamire says.
nCentral Catholic lineman Myles Wade is the cover boy for the September issue of Rise magazine, formerly School Sports magazine.
Wade, who has verbally committed to the Oregon Ducks, is rated No. 95 among the nation's senior recruits by the magazine.
In the article, Wade says he is focused on football.
'I don't buy into anything that won't help me do what I want to do,' he says. 'I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't party and I don't have time for girls. I don't participate in that because it could keep me from getting where I want to go.'
The author, Chad Konecky, writes that nothing is going to stop Wade from reaching his goals and succeeding for his 5-year-old sister, Olyvia, who suffers from a mild case of Down syndrome.
'She means the world to me,' Wade says. 'I don't ever want her to have to worry about anything. I want everything to be taken care of.'
Wade says he wants to help the Ducks win a BCS national championship, be named defensive MVP of the title game, win the Lombardi Award as college football's outstanding lineman and be the college defensive player of the year.
'It sounds crazy, I know,' he says. 'But those are the things I want, and I'm working hard to get them.'
nGrant goes to Newberg tonight with the leading rusher in the PIL 6A. Kasseem Osheroff ran 20 times for 155 yards in last week's 51-13 victory at Beaverton.
nKBPS (1450 AM) is offering Portland high school students a chance to do sportscasting. Anyone interested should attend a meeting at the station at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Call Bill Cooper, 503-916-5828, for information.
nKBPS is broadcasting games from Lincoln this season, and not all of them involve the Cardinals. Tonight's 7 o'clock game matches Aloha and Benson. Carl Click will call the play-by-play.
nFranklin has a lot of new faces, which showed in last week's opener, a 55-7 loss to Gresham.
With senior Clark Ransom returning at quarterback, the Quakers will throw the ball more than they did last year. Other key players from the 2005 team include receiver-defensive back Tim Range, lineman Jacob Dozier, running back Jose Herrera and offensive lineman-linebacker Adam Winter.

Soon after Marna Gold had a hysterectomy, she knew something was wrong. She was in pain and running a fever. That's when doctors discovered two surgical sponges left inside her body after surgery.
"It was a mistake, it was really a mistake," she said.
Each year there are hundreds of cases where surgical items are mistakenly left inside patients, most of them gauze sponges. To prevent problems, hospitals do a manual count of sponges and other instruments at the end of each operation. Now, new technology is helping keep track.
New York's Montefiore Medical Center is one of several hospitals using the RF Assure Detection System. Each sponge has a radio-frequency chip. Before the patient is stitched up, doctors wave a wand over the patient. The system alerts the staff if it picks up a signal.
"Things can get hidden there and so this is a technology with the ability to add to our manual count, pause at the end of the operation and say before we close, we want to be sure that all the sponges are recovered," said Dr. Robert Michler, the chair of the surgery department at Montefiore.
Experts say while the new technology is useful, it's not a substitute for counting every sponge used during surgery. Diligence, they say, is essential in the operating room.
"The surgeon has to do a wound examination before they begin to close," said Dr. Verna Gibbs, the director of the No Thing Left Behind project. "It's the surgeon's job to get the sponges out or any other items which he or she did not intend to remain."
Gold needed a second surgery to remove the sponges.
"I was lucky because I did everything very promptly and I was scared enough to have everything checked," she said.
Quick action was key. Doctors say waiting longer could have caused serious complications.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 24
My method is exactly the same as yours, except I stick everything straight onto the master sheets instead of having seperate sheets for each zine page. Having said that, maybe your method of seperate sheets is more sensible since mistakes can be rectified quickly.
Lee Osborne said:Biggest problem I had using a photocopier was expense and limited access, and it made it difficult to produce zines, so when I needed a new printer, I deliberately went for a mono laser which lets me produce and print zines entirely at home. Journeyman #1 was done by photocopying originally, but I've since "digitally remastered it", by scanning the pages and laser printing it. It looks identical to my original photocopied ones but costs less to produce.

UPDATES + THOUGHTS: Jolie's Birth Story, Healthy Living & Locs...and some more stuff
I was tempted to write Happy Monday, but isn't that an oxy-moron? Then again, any day above ground is a good one right? Let's be thankful that we woke up this morning, were able to breath on our own, stand on our two feet to get out of bed, and are given another chance to change our lives. Yea? Let's go with that.
|photos via Le Coil
So ladies, I'm having a moment. I'm seriously considering getting locs. I don't know if I've been watching too many Chescalocs videos or what, but I'm kind of obsessed. I'm definitely going to think about it for a while to make sure I'm not going through a faze, but I'm so tempted to start twisting my hair up right now. AAArrrggghhhh!
I went on a bit of a beauty binge this weekend. My moms cousin was visiting from Jamaica and had me help her to learn about makeup and take her to purchase the products I recommended. I took her to Sephora and she was quite amused by how short my attention span was once I walked in there. There was so much stuff! I wanted the entire store! I can't wait to share what I got. Oh yea, and she bought a few items as well.
I finally got around to sharing the series of events that took place on the day Jolie was born on the "Jolie's Story" page. You have to excuse me, I wrote it pretty quickly to get through it as fast as possible, so I have to edit it over time to add in some details that I couldn't bring myself to write as yet.
In preparation to eventually get pregnant again, I'm on a mission to eat better and loose a few pounds...well...A LOT of pounds, lol. I decided to share that separately on an extension of this blog, called "Love, Weight Loss & Lacquer". I should have a post up sometime tonight.
...so please tell me you guys saw that Tupac hologram at Coachella last night? How crazy is that? Technology makes just about anything possible nowadays! I probably would have fainted if I saw the performance in person, lol. Amazing!
I'm off to create my Plan of Action for the day and hopefully get most of it accomplished. Wishing you all a safe and productive day ahead.
Take Care,

Rabbi Paul Drazen, Director
With this long double portion, the Torah describes in detail the manufacture of the portable tabernacle. Before the construction begins, Moses gathers the people together and tells them to keep the Sabbath. They shall burn no lights in their homes on the Sabbath day. The people begin to bring all the materials necessary for the making of the tabernacle. Betzalel is appointed to oversee the building because of his spirit of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. The people bring so much material that Moses tells them to stop.
The Israelites build the tabernacle in all its detail and put together the clothing for the high priest. Much of this repeats almost word for word the material in parshi'ot Terumah and Tetzaveh. In describing the building, Moses starts from the inside out, from the holiest places to the less holy. But with the actual building, the description starts with the curtains and overall frame and works inward towards the holy places.
In the second portion, Pekudai, there is a careful accounting of the gold, silver, bronze and other materials used in making the tabernacle. The Torah seems to be saying that those in a position of leadership must be beyond reproach. The entire tabernacle is put together.
In the end, we read in the Torah, "And Moses looked upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded, so had they done it; and Moses blessed them" (Exodus 39:43). The language of the Torah clearly reflects its language when God finished creating the universe and blessed the Sabbath day. The building of the tabernacle has become the paradigm for human creativity, paralleling God's creativity in creating the universe. In the end, a cloud covered the tent of meeting, reflecting God's glory. With the tabernacle complete, the second book of the Torah, Exodus, comes to an end.
"Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord; whoever does work in it shall be put to death" (Exodus 35:2)
"The cherubim had their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. They faced each other, the faces of the cherubim were turned toward the cover" (Exodus 37:9)

This is the fifth consecutive season that the Tar Heels have played East Carolina, which is in its last season as a member of Conference USA. Carolina has won the previous four matchups, including last year's 27-6 contest in Chapel Hill.
Carolina is coming off a disappointing 28-20 loss at Georgia Tech. The Tar Heels held a 20-7 lead in the second quarter, but the Yellow Jackets rallied to win the Coastal Division battle by dominating time of possession and holding the Tar Heels to just 62 total yards of offense in the second half. East Carolina had a bye last weekend. In their most recent contest two weeks ago, the Pirates fell to Virginia Tech, 15-10, in Greenville.
After Saturday's non-conference game, the Tar Heels play six consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.
Records: North Carolina 1-2 (0-1 ACC), East Carolina 2-1 (1-0 C-USA)
Rankings: Both teams are unranked.
TV: ACC Network (click for affiliates). Steve Martin (play-by-play), Dave Archer (analyst) and Rachel Baribeau (sideline) have the call.
Radio: Tar Heel Sports Network, a division of Learfield Communications. Jones Angell (play-by-play), Ethan Albright (analyst) and Lee Pace (sideline) have the call. A link to the live stream can be found at GoHeels.com.
On The Web: GoHeels.com • Twitter: @TarHeelFootball, @CoachFedora
• Separated by approximately 100 miles, North Carolina and East Carolina will meet for the 16th time Saturday. Carolina leads the series 12-2-1, which includes the 2009 win that was vacated.
• North Carolina won last year's game in Chapel Hill, 27-6. The Tar Heels led 10-6 at halftime then broke the game open with two quick third quarter touchdowns. Carolina's defense limited the Pirates to just 233 total yards. ECU's six points were its fewest in the series since a 56-0 loss in 1981.
• Carolina has scored 30 or more points in four of the last five games with the Pirates.
• Carolina's only losses in the series are a 34-31 decision in Greenville in 2007 and a 38-17 loss in Chapel Hill in 1975.
• Carolina and ECU met eight times in 10 years from 1972-1981, but went 20 years before meeting again in 2001. Since 2000, the two schools have faced each other seven times - 2001, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
• ECU head coach Ruffin McNeill was a defensive back for the Pirates from 1976-80 and faced the Tar Heels three times.
• UNC head coach Larry Fedora is 3-2 overall against ECU. As head coach at Southern Miss, Fedora posted a 2-2 mark against the Pirates with wins in 2011 (48-28) and 2008 (21-3). Fedora faced ECU head coach Ruffin McNeill twice during that time with Fedora winning in 2011 and McNeill pulling out a 44-43 victory in 2010.
• In his first stint at UNC (2000-04), WR coach Gunter Brewer helped coach the Tar Heels to wins over ECU in 2001 (24-21) and 2003 (28-17).
• East Carolina strength and conditioning coach Jeff Connors spent 10 seasons in a similar role at UNC from 2001-10. He returned to ECU, where he worked from 1990-2000, following the 2010 season. ECU's Director of Operations/Player Personnel Brian Overton worked three seasons at UNC from 2009-11 as an operations assistant.
• Kelvin Bryant's six rushing touchdowns in a 56-0 victory in 1981 is still a Carolina record.
Carolina will honor the military in a variety of ways at Saturday's Military Appreciation Day, including:
• Helmet: Carolina will wear a special white helmet with the American flag embedded in the interlocking NC logo on both sides. A red stripe runs down the middle of the helmet, flanked by two blue stripes with stars. At last year's Military Appreciation Day vs. Idaho, Carolina wore a similar blue helmet with American flag NC decals.
• Field: The Kenan Stadium end zone will have a special red, white and blue paint scheme, as will the NC logo at midfield.
• T-Shirts: Chapel Hill Sportswear, the official in-stadium merchandise provider of Carolina Athletics is selling the official Military Appreciation Day t-shirt for the game. The Military Appreciation tees can be purchased at Chapel Hill Sportswear on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill or in Kenan Stadium on the day of the game. Chapel Hill Sportswear will donate $2 from the sale of each t-shirt to the UNC ROTC program.
• Game Ball: The All Veterans Parachute team will deliver the game ball into the stadium.
• Video Board: Special recognition will be given to the military on the video board throughout the game, including messages from deployed military personnel from around the world.
The UNC and ECU coaching staffs will be wearing Coach to Cure MD patches on the sidelines Saturday to raise awareness and funding for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research. Fans are encouraged to donate online at www.CoachtoCureMD.org or donate $5 by texting CURE to 90999.
• North Carolina is 13-2 at Kenan Stadium since 2011 (6-1 in 2011, 6-1 in 2012, 1-0 in 2013). The Tar Heels are 7-1 at Kenan Stadium under Larry Fedora.
• OT James Hurst will make his team-leading 40th career start Saturday. Hurst is one of three Tar Heels with 30 or more starts, joining Kareem Martin (31) and Tre Boston (30). QB Bryn Renner has made 28 career starts.
• WR Sean Tapley has quietly emerged as one of the league's top kickoff return men. He ranks first in the ACC with a 25.4-yard kickoff return average. Against Georgia Tech last week, he had returns of 42, 19, 38 and 16 yards.
• Former walk-on linebacker Jeff Schoettmer has started all three games at linebacker and leads the team with 29 tackles, including a career-high 10 stops last week against Georgia Tech.
• Quarterback Bryn Renner has four touchdown passes this year and is tied with T.J. Yates for second place on the all-time UNC career chart with 58. Darian Durant is the career leader with 68.
• Junior bandit Norkeithus Otis entered 2013 with just seven career tackles. Through three games, he has 17 tackles, and leads the team in tackles for loss (4.5) and sacks (3.0).
• Tight end Eric Ebron leads the team with 13 receptions. Against Georgia Tech, he posted a career-high 106 yards receiving on six catches. He made a nifty one-handed scoring grab in the first quarter.
• Carolina is averaging 47.6 points per game at home since 2012 and 25.1 on the road. UNC averaged 48.7 points per game at home in 2012, including two games with more than 60 points.
On Sept. 28, 1957, the Jim Tatum-led Tar Heels blasted Clemson, 26-0, at Kenan Stadium. Carolina would finish that year 6-4 with wins over Navy, Miami, Wake Forest, South Carolina and Duke.

- What is CMOS memory?
- Why is it important to have a record of it?
In the past few months, the weather and power disruptions—especially in the northeastern United States—have made disaster preparation a major consideration
The big emergencies include complete system failures and hard-disk failures. In either case, you will need a disk with your computer system's information and a basic set of utilities that you will use to diagnose your system's problems. Because the crash will happen at the worst possible time, and no one will be able to help you, that disk (called a boot disk because, in the old days of computing, programs that were used to start computers were called bootstrap programs) will enable you to start your computer and, with the utilities in your operating system, to figure out what is wrong. If you are lucky, you will even be able to fix your computer automatically.
You need to make that boot disk while your system is running—so do it now. The help files in your system will tell you how to do it.
In reality, every time you start your computer, what you have is a small identity crisis on your desk. What happens as your computer cycles through its startup sequence is that it learns what is connected to the system, the relevant specifications of all peripheral equipment in the system that helps you do your work, and how all of those pieces of equipment relate to each other. If the computer does not get an answer to all of those questions, it may stop or continue the sequence while noting the problem with an error message on the screen.
Here is a little secret about two critical pieces of data you may desperately need that you probably do not have. You will need them because there is a critical time in your computer's startup sequence when it needs to know what type of hard disk you have and how big your hard disk is. If your computer does not know what type of hard disk you have or how big the hard disk is, the computer may ignore the hard disk completely. Both data are always provided in the startup sequence, either from the hard disk or from that boot disk I just told you to make.
That information is stored on your computer in a special kind of nonvolatile memory called the CMOS (or Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor). The CMOS is powered by a battery—in recent systems, it is a watch battery, and in older systems, it was a special long-life battery. If the battery goes dead, you may lose the CMOS memory and, with it, the ability to start your computer from the hard disk.
There is a practical solution to this problem—it is called paper. Make a written record of the settings on your computer system, especially the hard disk type and the size of the hard disk as stated in the CMOS memory. Those data are particularly significant to you because, if necessary, you can take the hard disk out of your computer, plug it into another computer, add the hard disk type and the size of the hard disk to the CMOS boot settings of the second computer, and read and use the data on that disk.
If you are lucky, your computer vendor gave you a piece of paper with those system specifications on it. It is time to find it, blow the dust off of it so you can read it, and leap to the next paragraph. If you do not have that piece of paper, get a blank one and join me in the next paragraph.
You now have your piece of paper (with specifications or blank) and you are in front of your computer. Start your computer or press the "Reset" button and watch the screen. There will be a message stating "Press (something) for setup." That (something) is what you press. You will be in the setup program of your computer. Depending on the configuration of your computer, what you want may be on that first screen. But go through all the menus—every one—and write down all the data you see. Do not change anything, unless you want to do so and you know the consequences.
Chances are that you will not be able to change any setting unless you confirm the change several times. But that is why you are making a written record. Someday, you will thank yourself.

A few days ago, I made these tasty & healthy gluten-free & egg free scones with dark chocolate chips & pecans. They were oh so tasty although they didn't rise much. I served them , sliced open & smeared with minarine & peach jam. MMMMMMM,…!!!
These scones were all devoured after 3 days by me & my husband. When we ate 1 + 1/2 , we weren't hungry for 4 to 5 hours. That's how filling they are. I used 4 gf flours: tapioca flour, coconut flour, brown rice flour & millet flour. I brushed the scones with milk & sprinkled some unrefined coconut blossom sugar over the top of each scone before they went into the oven.
Check them out! They are large but so gooooddddd!!!! Great to give as a food gift too!
They make an ideal tasty food gift! They are very delicious too! x
Recipe: For about 10 to 11 larger scones, 9 cm diameter, 1.5 cm thick
1 cup millet flour
3/4 cup brown rice flour
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon guar gom
3 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup soy baking margarine
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
2/3 cup organic agave nectar
Extra needed: some milk, to brush each scone with + some unrefined coconut blossom sugar (or turbinado sugar), to sprinkle all over the surface of each scone, before they go into the oven
1.Preheat your oven to 200°C ( 400 F ) for 10 minutes. I use a fan oven. Adjust the temperature to your oven, if necessary.
2. Take your large Kenwood bowl or Kitchen aid bowl & place the K paddle. Add all the 4 flours to the bowl. Mix on low-speed.
3. Now, add the guar gum, baking powder & baking soda, all evenly divided over the bowl. Mix on medium speed.
4. Add the soy baking margarine. Mix until it comes together.
5. Add the chocolate chips & the finely chopped pecans. Mix well.
6. Finally, add the agave & the kefir. Mix again until it all comes together. The dough will still be a bit wet.
7. Take a silpat & flour it with coconut or millet flour. Flour your hands & rolling-pin too. With your floured hands, take the dough out of the bowl & on the floured silpat. Roll it out evenly & form a round dough, 1.5 cm thick. With your 9 cm diameter round cutter, cut out scones & place them on a clean silpat onto a baking tray for stability or onto an oven rack for stability. Re – roll your dough & use the round cutter again, until the dough is all used up. Place the scones a few cm apart from each other on the silpat. I placed 6 scones on my silpat.
8. With the help of a silicon pastry brush, brush the tops & sides of each scone with milk & sprinkle some unrefined coconut blossom sugar over the tops of each scone.
9. Bake into the center or bottom of your oven for 10 minutes on 200°C ( 400 F ) & then 5 minutes on 180°C ( 356 F ). After those 15 minutes, check with a test pin to see if they are well-baked into the middle. If the pin comes out clean, when inserted into the middle of the scone, the scones are ready. Mines were ready after 15 minutes. Carefully remove the oven tray from the oven. Leave the scones for 10 minutes on the silpat & then remove them. Place them on a wire rack to cool down completely.
When completely cool, slice them open & smear with minarine or butter & some good peach jam on both sides.

I am looking at that last photo sophie and thinking how much I want to dive in 🙂
These scones look great; I don't think I could wait till they're cooled!! Yummie
Sophie, you have become so talented at gluten free baking! It's great to have your site as a gluten free resource for myself! These look wonderful! Mmmmm!
This sounds amazing for breakfast or tea!
You can say I am starting to enjoy GF food, although I don't have any problem with gluten. Your scones is worth trying Sophie.
love your new blog!
Yummy, they sound wonderful. It'd be hard to stop at one they sound so delicious.
I love these scones! They sound absolutely delicious. Since they are egg free as well, they are a perfect treat for my sister. Thank you Sophie!
Sophie, these would be excellent to enjoy for breakfast with a cup of coffee or as a mid-afternoon snack. These look delightful.
Oh goodness, Sophie…They sound awesome and looks even awesomer (is that a word) Thankfully, I don't have a gluten problem either but hey, I may just give these a try. I've had scones on the brain lately and the chocolate chips and nuts just bring me over the edge.
Thanks for sharing…
P.S You look quite @ home @ wordpress, Kudos to YOU!
love scones 🙂 reminds me of home
hi sophie, I also like to use kéfir in my dishs.
I like the texture as with buttermilk, lait ribot, or Elben.
I have Kefir Grains and so I make my own kefir.
bonne journée gourmande
This is an interesting recipe! I'll have to give it a go 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Sophie – these sound so good! I wish I could find coconut blossom sugar. Do you think yogurt would work in place of the Keifer? I love coconut flour too – so yummy!
I never would have imagined you could make such beautiful scones that are gluten free!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
*kisses* HH
Looks delicious Sophie!
I would love to start my day off right with one (or two) or these scrumptious scones.
Dark chocolate and pecans are such a great combination 🙂 I haven't made scones in too long…and now I know the combination I want in them when I finally get around to it!
Those look so yummy, my tummy is grumbling just looking at them!
My SIL would love these!
Sophie, ze zien er heerlijk uit. Ik ben benieuwd, misschien ga ik deze wel maken 🙂
Ik ben blij dat het cranberrie brood zo lekker was. Misschien maak ik wel cranberrie scones 😀
You've really embraced the gluten-free baking, absolutely lovely! I love the addition of the kefir. These are a must try!!!
¡Que rico! Casi como las galletas gigantes, pero sana y no demasiado dulce.
¡Felicidades por su examen de español! Creo que yo necesito un clase de español – jajaja. 🙂
These scones look yummy!
I updated your info on my foodie favorites page 🙂
Now that's a scone. The coffee shops and Starbucks should take a cue from you and make proper ones. Delicious and healthy.
Healthy and delicious ! That's is hard combo, but you made it perfect.
I've made pecan and maple scones but never thought to add chips. Looks lovely, Sophie!
Wow Sophie, they sure look good for gluten and egg free…love the idea of kefir in it…so yummie 🙂
They may be large but that just means there's more to eat. These scones look just yummy! What a wonderful idea and so versatile as folks with food sensitivities can eat them.
Sounds like a terrific combination of chocolate and pecans in these delicious looking scones!
Terrific recipe. The scones look great and EGG LESS?! Good job.
I wish I had these for breakfast right now.
Des scones très gourmands. j'aime beaucoup.
A très bientôt.
You can never go wrong with chocolate chips and pecans. These look so wonderful to wake up to.
Love your new site Sophie and the scones too!!!! They look delicious. I am seeing more and more gluten free recipes these days too!
Very impressive! They looks just as good as the unhealthy version!
There's no scone too large! Great idea.
Lovely scones Sophie. We make our own kefir, but I never think to use it in baking. I expect the coconut flour gave them a lovely flavour.
Gluten and egg free scones with pecans AND chocolate?!
I'm sooooo excited!
I love that there is kefir in this. So nutritious!
Hi Sophie! I had to come over and see who was leaving me all those nice comments on my blog 😀
These scones look delicious! I had never had a scone up until last week. How I'd gone through life without trying one I'll never know.
I love that my son and I with all our food allergies can eat these without having to make a bunch of substitutions.
I'm bookmarking this recipe.
Very yummy looking scones Sophie – glad you got some chocolate in there 😉
@ Lisa: thanks for stopping by & welcome to my my blog!!! yeah!! 🙂 Scones originate from England! I hope you & your son will love these!! 🙂
@ Choclette: We all love our chocolate, don't we? I used Callebaut 65%!
Eggs free, chocolate pecans, that sounds divine.
Oooh these look good. I just made sweet potato biscuits. Baking powder does puff them up.
Thanks, Esme! 🙂

Bronco Blitz - BSU sports news
- September 20, 2016
( 23)
Get the latest Boise State Broncos news, stats and scores from the Idaho Statesman. The Statesman's award-winning sports team covers Boise State football and basketball like no one else, and you can be the first to share the latest on your team by email, Facebook and Twitter. Watch videos and get Murph's Take on college sports.
Good mobile news source The eventual membership nag screen is annoying considering the pervasive advertising, but the format is great for mobile. The only glaring omission is the reader comments that they show on the internet webpage.
Really good information It's a very informative about a lot of things going on there at BSU, besides the football program. It helps me to know more about the things going on with my home area.
Keep me updated.
Hallelujah, portrait mode is back! Thank you for being responsive to your audience.
Just a news aggregator A slightly specialized football news service. Nothing special, doesn't even have a dedicated bsu schedule - lame for something claiming a one stop shop
Shouldn't have to Go to the blogs page to read articles. All articles should be brought down to the phone. Shame on the developer that put this app out.

At lunch time, sprinkle some pinto beans, garbanzo beans, or more almonds into your salad. For dinner, switch to whole-grain pasta (instead of white) and include fresh veggies full of fiber (like artichokes, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts) as a side dish. If you are a fruit-eater, try eating apples, kiwifruit, oranges, avocados, and pears. Yum!
