Desert Vista built a 31-0 halftime cushion and then emptied its bench in the second half in a 54-17 victory over Mesquite on Friday night.
Thunder coach Dan Hinds knows they need the passing game to be in form when the Thunder (6-2) get to the playoffs and begin defense of their Division l state championship.
Quarterback Matt Young was crisp as he clicked on 15 of 21 passes for 259 yards and four touchdown passes with no interceptions in just two and a half quarters of action.
Young left midway through the third quarter or he could have came close to the school record of passing yards in a game set by John Rattay in 1998 with 312 yards.
Young was 53 yards shy as he connected with Nick Farina for a pair of touchdown passes of 25 and 10 yards. He hit Kaleb Germinaro for a 44-yard strike and with Aaron Valdez for the first score of the game for 11 yards.
"First off the most important thing was getting the win after the loss last week," Young said. "Our goal was the passing game tonight and we were pretty sharp.
"A lot of guys stepped up and got open off of jams. The O-line (Cole Preston, Dylan Fischer, Sam Hartman, Mitch Wehril and Adam Ortega) are battling some injuries, but they gave me great pass protection, they have my back."
Hinds was pleased with the offense as a whole.
"Each week we get better at pass pro, (when) you give Matt some time he showed tonight what he can do," Hinds said. "They (Mesquite) stacked the box and we finished it up, we had the fly working with two big runs from Germinaro and (Richard) Haywood."
Desert Vista's Austin Hicks took the opening kickoff back 96 yards but it was called back on a holding penalty.
The Thunder responded by driving 80 yards in 10 plays as Young hooked up with Valdez for the 11-yard TD pass.
Later in the opening quarter, Young hit Germinaro in stride for a 44-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead.
In the second quarter Ian Pletenik booted a 37-yard field goal. After Mesquite had a 2-yard punt, DV had a short field at the Wildcats' 30-yard line. Two plays later, Jarek Hilgers, who had a quiet night with 57 yards rushing on 10 carries, had a 13-yard touchdown run.
Pletenik on a fake kick on the PAT and found a wide open Anthony Reaves for the 2-point conversion pass.
Young then found Farina down the sideline for a 25-yard aerial and a 31-0 lead at the intermission.
The Thunder defense was stingy in the first half allowing only 27 yards of total offense and only nine rushing. The beefy defensive line was solid with Jalen Jelks and two-way interior line starters in Preston and Fischer.
"The defense played great, the defensive line controlled the line of scrimmage," Hinds added.
After a struggle in the first half, Mesquite had a bright spot with an impressive drive on the opening possession of the second half. The Wildcats got on the scoreboard on a 1-yard pass from Payton Haslam to Paul Perry.
"I have never been more pleased than that drive to start the second half," Mesquite coach Matt Gracey said whose team fell to 1-7. "The kids showed they never give up scoring late in the game.
"We have a young team, but I am proud of them as they battled for 48 minutes. It's been a tough year but the kids did not roll over and that could happen with a team as good as Desert Vista is."

After Argentina was eliminated in 2010 in a brutal 4-0 loss to Germany, Lionel Messi – the best player in the world – was left without a goal in the tournament and finished his second World Cup weeping inconsolably in the dressing room. His coach, Diego Maradona, said: "I will be 50 on October 30 and this is the toughest moment of my life."
Yet Mr. Messi recovered from his devastation at that World Cup to win three consecutive Ballon d'Or awards from 2010-2012, and gave his country a chance at ultimate redemption this year, although that outcome in the end wasn't in their favour as Germany was crowned World Cup champions after beating Argentina 1-0.
Another team faced an even bigger set-back at the hands of Germany this year – with Brazil suffering a 7-1 crushing defeat that The Globe and Mail's Cathal Kelly called "the death of a national dream" that took 56 years to build.
And with Wimbledon recently finished, we can similarly remember Andy Murray's defeat to Roger Federer in 2012 (and his heartbreaking speech), which proved to be a catalyst for his ascension to the world's Top 3 and a prelude to a triumphant victory at Wimbledon the following year.
How do these athletes channel the disappointment of significant – potentially career-defining – setbacks into recovering stronger? How do they avoid disengagement, anxiety and even depression – side effects of pressure and setbacks that are all too common in the day-to-day grind of corporate work environments? Off the pitch or the court, what lessons are there for the rest of us (and the Brazilians) in the way they come back?
Leadership is part of the story: good coaches constantly work on channelling adversity towards growth rather than burnout. Ultimately, however, resilience is an inside job. Truly elite athletes take the energy inherent in failure, and harness it to become that much stronger.
The resilience tool-kit: Four tips to improve mental fitness
Through our work with more than 70 Olympic medalists and thousands of managers, we have identified four mental fitness tools – drawn from sport psychology – that are critically important to resilience, and applicable in any environment:
1. Perspective – Consciously choose a "Three C" perspective.
Research has identified that individuals who thrive under pressure choose to view setbacks with a sense of challenge ("this is a test"), focus on what they can control ("time to work on my dribbling"), and commit to making it happen. Those who fail to cope view the same situations as a threat ("there go my endorsements"), with a sense of helplessness ("the referees have it in for me"), and alienation ("what's the point?").
Of course, some of us are naturally more optimistic. The key is to notice the perspective you are taking and, if it doesn't focus on what you want, change it.
2. Energy management – Don't waste the energy inherent in disappointment.
Setbacks are inevitably marked by powerful emotions: Mr. Messi crying in the locker room, Mr. Murray crying on centre court. Dr. Peter Jensen, a sport psychologist who has helped athletes at eight Olympic Games, reminds athletes constantly that "beneath every emotion is the energy to transform." What are you going to do with that energy? How will you put it to use so that you never feel like this again?
3. Imagery – "Change the film" and look forward.
Imagine the impact of experiencing a devastating setback like a World Cup defeat not just once, but many times. Every time we replay a setback in our mind, it's as if it just happened: our body experiences the same physiological impact and emotions. Elite athletes don't let that happen. They choose to have short memories. They consciously work to "change the film" in their head and focus on what they want rather than what they don't want.
Here's an easy way to bring this practice into your world: once a day, close your eyes and imagine an upcoming performance. This could be a big meeting, a presentation, a performance review – anything inherently stressful. Then, adjust your "film" to improve one aspect of your performance. Re-run this correct film two or three times in your mind. You'll be amazed at how frequently these imagined gains translate into real life.
4. Focus – Create and hold a compelling vision of the future.
For World Cup athletes, basking in the adoration of your country while your anthem plays is a pretty compelling vision for the future.
But what might this look like in your world? As a start, your own version of the podium is important – achievement plays a major role for all of us. Equally important is considering what the goals are that hold meaning for you, and how your day-to-day actions are connected to these goals.
Practice makes perfect
In the world of elite sport, it is commonly understood that resiliency is not an innate ability, but rather a set of skills that can be learned, practiced and mastered. Good coaches work on these skills as much as the physical ones.
Good managers are no different. According to Morneau Shepell, one of the country's leading providers of workplace mental health training for managers, the level of dialogue between managers and employees regarding the impact of pressure and setbacks is an important factor in the prevention of mental injury, supporting those with mental illness and the ability to stay engaged through difficult times. Focusing on the above skills will improve everyone's ability to thrive under pressure and recover stronger.

Harry Styles' Man-Cleavage Lead's Today's Star Sightings
As a firm believer in equality, I think it's only fair that people are allowed to ogle at a man's cleavage as much as we stare at Kate Upton's boobs. Thankfully, Harry Styles (presumably) feels the same way.
Not one to let only girls rock low-cut fashion, the One Direction singer was spotted flashing some skin of his own as he stepped out from the Warner Music Group and GQ Summer Party at Shoreditch House this week. Clad in an unbuttoned shirt, the Brit and the famous butterfly tattoo on his chest popped out to say hello to the cameras.
Shh. You hear that? That's the sound of Directioner's hearts fluttering everywhere.
Launch the gallery above for more of the day's star sightings!

New questions on election transparency have surfaced in New Hampshire, where the powerful First-In-The-Nation presidential primary will take place in 2012. If New Hampshire is to have its thumb on the scale in presidential politics, transparency needs to be an absolute requirement. In a bizarre chain of events, nontransparency was entered surreptitiously into a New Hampshire statute in 2003.
Ballots are an open record under Colorado law though clerks are fighting the public on this. Marilyn Marks, supported by Black Box Voting, is litigating over wrongful denial of public right to inspect Colorado ballots. This is currently in the Colo. Supreme Court now (Looking good so far ... more on that below).
In Wisconsin where a hot political recount is taking place, the public can opt to examine ballots with or without a recount. In Michigan, the public can even take pictures of ballots. In Florida, a consortium of news organizations examined ALL the ballots from the 2000 presidential election. In California, two counties (Humboldt and Yolo) make photocopies of all the ballots available to the public for examination.
But in 2003, New Hampshire ballots were ever-so-quietly EXCLUDED from public right to know. How could this happen?

NEW YORK, NY -- If a team's greatness is measured in championships,
the San Jose Sharks are yet to be immortalized in that upper echelon.
Eight consecutive post-season appearances, with none concluding in the
Promised Land.
The Sharks have enjoyed more regular-season success over the past
decade than almost any other team in the NHL. They have built a
consistent winner in the Bay Area, playing more than a few meaningful
games. But with the team aging, now is the time to bring home the only
hardware that matters.
After a regular season that many teams around the league would be
thrilled with, the Sharks were knocked out of playoffs by the St.
Louis Blues in the conference quarterfinals. On the negative side of
things, however, the 96 points they finished with were the lowest
total since the 2002-03 season.
"Changes can come in many ways," explained Sharks GM Doug Wilson on
break-up day. "We changed 9-10 players last year. We are in full
review of everything. Right now, it's an honest evaluation of
everything before we start getting into the decision making process,
but there will be changes."
Now, over month after the start of free agency, very little has
changed for the Sharks.
Rick Nash, the newest member of the New York Rangers, was the biggest
scorer rumored to lace up the skates for the home team in the Shark
Tank. But, after Scott Howson's ludicrous, rumored demands, included
rising superstar Logan Couture, the Sharks balked and let the Rangers
step up to the plate.
Couture, the 23-year-old Ontario native, enjoyed perhaps his most
successful season to date, setting a career high in points.
The only positive acquisition, thus far, has been veteran defender
Brad Stuart. The 32-year-old blueliner began his career in San Jose.
"Brad is a player we are very familiar with -- a physical, team-first
defenseman who is tough to play against, which is exactly the kind of
mentality we want our team to possess," said Wilson in a statement
after the trade.
There are a few ways the Sharks could possibly score big looking ahead
to the season, but some may be more painful than others.
Their first option is to retool their team with young talent by
trading away a few of their older pieces.
Veteran defender Dan Boyle was rumored to be on the trading block
earlier in the off-season. Still a top powerplay option, the
36-year-old alternate captain would be a perfect piece for a team
looking to put themselves over the top. Teams would line-up to get a
crack at Boyle, especially ones that have spent much of the offseason
sniffing around for blueline help like the Pittsburgh Penguins,
Philadelphia Flyers, Rangers or Detroit Red Wings.
As an integral member of the team, it would require a hefty package to
coax the Sharks into trading away their top offensive defenseman. The
new contract of Marc-Eduard Vlasic, along with another year of Brent
Burns getting familiar with the system may make it a little easier to
let Boyle go.
Patrick Marleau, who has been with the team his entire NHL career, is
another player who could return a strong package of young players. His
30 plus goal consistency over the past few seasons would make him
highly sought after in today's current trade market.
When asked about the longevity of the team's core Marleau explained,
"As far as staying together that's not really up to us."
Big Joe Thornton, whose Hall of Fame resume still has a big zero in
the championship column, is the final piece of the core that would
command the biggest return of all. And while is very likely he will
suit up again at HP Pavillion as the Sharks captain, trading him for a
plethora of assets would certainly shake the team up, possibly for the
The biggest team need would be adding speed on the wings. A team like
the Rangers, who were mentioned to have a mild interest in Thornton,
have a few speedy young wingers in Chris Kreider and Carl Hagelin that
could be of definite interest. A trade a Thornton would not be just
for futures, however, as the Sharks would look to plug up as many
holes with more than viable options if they were to trade their star.
As the off-season slugs ahead, and will continue to for an
indeterminate amount of time it appears more and more likely that the
team may have to wait until a good chunk of the season is behind them
to re-evaluate their roster.
"There are things we have to reflect on," lamented head coach Todd
McLellan on breakup day. "Some will leave satisfied, others will look
at it and say we need to make changes, but that's part of the team
There are still a few veteran options that could act band-aid for the
time being. Petr Sykora and Kristian Huselius are both options for a
team looking to temporarily patch a few areas up. Sykora is coming off
a strong campaign with the New Jersey Devils, while Huselius will be
looking to bounce back after hip surgery limited him to just two
appearances last season.
The Sharks should once again be in the conversation of the top teams
in the Western Conference. But with father time looming, the window is
slowly shutting on the team's Stanley Cup dreams.

The following help documentation is for version 1.15.xx. The help documentation for version 2.00 can be found here.
If you're new to BattleScribe, take a look at the following "getting started" guides to help you get up and running as quickly as possible:
Get Started: Desktop
(Windows / Mac / Linux)
Get Started: Mobile
(Android / iOS)
If you're having a problem with BattleScribe, first take a look through the Frequently Asked Questions. You will likely find the answer you are looking for.
For more detailed help on how to use BattleScribe and how to create and share your own data files, read on...
This help documentation is very much a quick tour of the features of BattleScribe's editors. It is not entirely complete and we will be improving these pages as time goes on. If you wish to create game systems and catalogues, it is worthwhile looking at the ones included with BattleScribe for reference. If you have any questions or problems, let us know via the feedback page or subreddit.
Before you can create a roster for an army, you need to have the appropriate data files: a game system file (.gst) for the particular wargame you're playing, and a catalogue (.cat) data file for the army you wish to create a roster for. Searching for "BattleScribe data files" can really help you find the files you need.
If you download data files, you can import them in Roster Editor by going to File -> Import Data File. Browse to the file and click Open to import it. It should now be available when creating a new roster. Alternatively, you can place the (unzipped) data files in the catalogues and gamesystems folders in the BattleScribe installation folder
Another way to get data files is via a data file repository. This is a set of data files hosted on the internet somewhere. In Roster Editor, go to File -> Data Repositories. Add the URL of a repository and click Update Data. BattleScribe will import any files it doesn't already have, and get any newer versions of files it does have. Clicking update data at any time will check the repositories for new data files. Data repositories can be easily created with Data Indexer
A roster contains your selections from a particular catalogue, making up your chosen army. It includes the points totals and whether or not your choices are valid according to the catalogue and game system restrictions.
A catalogue data file contains the various entries available to select when choosing a roster for an army. It also contains details of the restrictions on what you can and cannot select for a roster and under what circumstances. Profiles and special rules can be attached to entries, which are displayed in the roster summary.
A game system data file contains the categories that units come under and details of the different profile types in the game system. For example in Warhammer 40,000, the categories would be HQ, Troops etc while the profile types would be Infantry, Weapons, Vehicles etc. The categories and profile types are used when creating a catalogue data file or a roster.

On Friday, the film adaptation of The Hundred-Foot Journey will open (my review will run Friday as well). It's a movie about food and cooking and love. And it got me thinking about how many films there are that deal with food in central ways — sometimes as romantic and personal, sometimes as something a little stranger.
So I compiled this list of 13 films — a baker's dozen! — that represent some aspect of food, food criticism, consumption, eating and the like to whet your appetite. Drink up!
1. Ratatouille (2007). Pixar's (and, by extension, Disney's) best film ever is this unlikely charmer about a rat who loves to cook, but being a vermin is unwelcome in most kitchens (there's always Arby's). A film that pays closer attention to the details of the real fine dining scene more than any other, it's not only beautiful but a canny depiction of the critic-chef relationship.
2. Babette's Feast (1987). This Oscar winner for best foreign language film depicts a Danish household where privation is a way of life, and what happens when a French housekeeper breaks with tradition and hosts a magical dinner. It's tantalizing and conjures the exquisite longing that food can represent for us emotionally.
3. Sideways (2004). What Ratatouille is to cuisine, Sideways is to wine: On point, evocative and full of complex, passionate relationships. Famous for its "I'm not drinking any fucking merlot!" line, pay attention to the wine the anti-hero is sipping near the end. Complex did I say? Oh, yes.
4. Toast (2011). This film adaptation of the memoir by gay British gourmand and critic Nigel Slater is a tender coming-of-age film and an elegant battle royal in the kitchen between a young man and his stepmonster.
5. Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (1978). An oldie-but-goodie, this 1970s caper film concerns great chefs being slowly eliminated by a mysterious killer who turns their own techniques on them. But why? A sumptuous romantic comedy, the cake-making scene (a huge bombe) is alone enough to turn you diabetic.

Daughter of jazz trumpeter Don and older sister of singer/songwriter Eagle Eye, Swedish-born singer Neneh Cherry first recorded as part of Rip, Rig and Panic, a challenging British avant-jazz-funk band of the early '80s. When that group dissolved, Cherry and several other members reorganized as Float Up CP, releasing one album in 1985. Three years later, Cherry reinvented herself with the far more commercial, yet still adventurous, solo debut RAW LIKE SUSHI. Her fearless combination of rap, pop, jazz and sexual forthrightness was a critical and commercial success, but after one more album, 1992's HOMEBREW, Cherry apparently retired from music.

Jeremywrote a review of Black Diamond Spot Headlamp on October 24, 2013
Works Great
Familiarity: I've used it several times
This headlamp held up to my expectations. It stays in place it's super bright and really enjoy the locking feature which disables it from coming on accidentally while packed away in you bag. It's also water resistant which is very helpful during the rain.

Two thirds of local authorities face shortfall in public health budgets despite increased fundingBMJ 2013; 346 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.f234 (Published 11 January 2013) Cite this as: BMJ 2013;346:f234

Around two thirds of local authorities in England will find themselves short of the money needed to meet their target spending per head on public health by the end of 2014-15, show figures on the two year settlements allocated to them by the Department of Health.1
This is despite real term increases of up to 10% on the budgets for both 2013-14 and 2014-15 proposed by the outgoing primary care trusts, which relinquish responsibility for public health this April.
The overall budget for public health services managed by England's 152 local authorities will be £2.7bn (€3.3bn; $4.4bn) in 2013-14 and just under £2.8bn in 2014-15. The health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, announced on 10 January that the money would be ringfenced.

"We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!" - Luke 15:32
God is like the father in this story. We are like the Prodigal Son. When we sin and turn away from the Father, he doesn't stop us or run after us. He gives us the dignity of choice, but he also gives us the freedom to live with the consequences of our choices!
Like the Prodigal Son, sinful humanity "lives it up," wasting life in rebellious living (Luke 15:13). After a while, the "pigsty" in which humanity finds itself doesn't seem such a good idea after all. So some of us prodigals come to our senses and return to our offended and grieving Father (Luke 15:17). And, like the prodigal son, we find our Father waiting and watching for our return. True repentance leads to forgiveness. God forgives us and brings us back to himself.
The grace of God is clear in this parable. The son wasted his inher-itance, hurt his father deeply, and brought dishonor to the family name. But when he came to his senses, the son realized that the only thing to do was to take that long walk home and beg for forgiveness.
The human race is composed of prodigals. All of us have been on the road of rebellion, seeking to find our own way. Each individual needs to make that long walk home! Have you returned to God? Have you renewed that broken relationship with your Father? He is watching and waiting for your return. And he has a party planned!

Every morning this week I have been wakened by the sounds of birds outside my window! There have also been little groups of male robins flitting around looking confused. Maybe the females still aren't back yet? Or maybe they are wondering when all their turf got taken over by crows...hmm. Needless to say, I am very excited the warm weather is coming back. I love winter, but all sorts of great things happen this spring plants, birds, calving, White Coat ceremony, the end of my classroom career, yes!!!!
I still have a long way to go, but at least the weather is putting me in a better mood. Now I just need to start working out again. I would like to not look like a Christmas goose for white coat ceremony....and even though I only have about a month and a half to do anything, I think some exercise will work wonders. I am recruiting Max to help me, since he always feels out of shape. That means running again, yay! Now I just have to figure out the weight lifting thing.
Well nothing much else to report. Back to zoonosis stuff. I hope to blog about a very important birthday party soon! Until then please don't fault me ofr all these blurry pictures of Twitch! :)
