Found, in the freezer at our local grocery store:
Kemps Touchdown Sundae. Vanilla ice cream with a hint of fudge swirl and small treasures of chocolate footballs (complete with a caramel filling). It's egg-free, nut-free, but not sugar-free, and it's perfect for a rambunctious about-to-be-a-fourth-grader boy who's trying to "beef up" for the school year.
Found, in my local library:
A Memoir after my own heart. Because reading food labels, on everything from ice cream to bread, is more about bypassing a trip to the ER than counting calories for me.
If you stand in the middle of the grocery aisle and study ingredients, or if the mention of a "pot luck dinner" makes you break out into a cold sweat, read this book. Sandra Beasley's memoir touches on every aspect of food allergies, from the perspective of the allergic, those who care for someone with allergies, and even the research and science behind allergies. I can't say enough about how much I love, LOVE, this book. I have it on loan right now, but I want a copy for myself. I want to slip it onto my son's nightstand in a few more years, when he's too big for me to check his pockets for his Epi-Pen.
Found, in my schedule for fall:
Time. I was glad (ever-so-slightly) last Monday when my day job kicked in, and not just because my mornings and evenings became more predictable. As I considered my start and end times and my work schedule unfolded, my day planner revealed a secret: little pockets of time to myself each day. The impossibility of it all was matched with a dose of guilt, so I closed my calendar quick. Afraid to breathe. Maybe that sounds dramatic, but if you're a mother and a writer, you know the value of any uninterrupted time (and the power in a second of guilt).
Free time is there, though. I've double checked.
Found, on Writer Unboxed:
Two great posts by Nina Badzin on the Art and Science of Twitter, Part 1 and Part 2.
If you're new to Twitter, and even if you're not new, these posts are a must-read. Because when you suddenly discover a pocket of time, you don't want to waste it on Social Networking. Nina Badzin explains how to make Twitter work for you, so that you can get back to work, doing what you love best.
What's new in your kitchen, on your shelves, or in your reader?

additional indices and records for marriages 1869-1872 remember these

Phone your closest LDS centre before shuffling off to TO.
Also, many libraries have acquired at least the indicies for the BMD's

Murder hoax makes the rounds on St. Albert social media
Saturday, Mar 01, 2014 07:45 pm
Much is made about the effects that social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, have on connecting people and making information readily available, in some cases almost instantly. Sometimes that availability can be abused.
Some St. Albert residents were concerned Saturday when Instagram was afire with rumors of a murder or accidental death which was said to have happened during a fistfight between two local 13 year old boys.
A concerned citizen contacted The St. Albert Gazette late Saturday with some details, and concerns over such a young person being the victim of a murder. Well, they weren�t.
According to St. Albert RCMP, the entire thing was a social media hoax as there was no murder in the city over the weekend. �I believe it was stuff on social media, but it�s not correct,� said a spokesperson at the St. Albert RCMP detachment Saturday evening, who asked not to be identified.
The spokesperson said he wasn�t sure if it was supposed to be a joke or may have just been a teenage attempt to get attention. The only thing that is certain is that no death was involved.
The false information provided to the St. Albert Gazette noted a fistfight had occurred between two 13 year old boys who live in St. Albert, and one of them died in the fight.
The RCMP spokesman said no charges are being looked at at this time. �The police point of view is we�re concerned if it actually happened,� he said. The spokesman said no one was trying to profit or get gain from the hoax, although police do treat situations like this one seriously.
He said social media hoaxes may seem harmless but can take off on a life of their own very quickly.

Vistoso Partners has withdrawn its request to have Neighborhood 12 of its Rancho Vistoso development annexed into Oro Valley and is turning instead to Pima County to approve its development plans.
A referendum aimed at blocking Oro Valley's annexation of Neighborhood 12, scheduled to come before voters on March 12, has stalled Vistoso Partners' plans to build 199 homes, including 88 casitas, on 360 acres in the area.
Vistoso Partners is now turning to the county to accelerate the process.
"The property is already zoned and we can build houses on it in Pima County," said Vistoso Partners General Manager Dick Maes. "We're not going to keep waiting and waiting on Oro Valley. Why should we wait until an election to find out what we can do with our property? If Oro Valley doesn't want us, we'll go to the county. We're just following up on what our rights are."
Maes blamed Oro Valley Neighborhood Coalition leaders Wayne Bryant, a potential mayoral candidate, and Hector Conde, who also heads Citizens for Open Government, initiators of the referendum, for forcing Vistoso Partners to turn to the county because of their threats of a referendum or recall every time a decision is made by the council with which they disagree.
Maes said Vistoso Partners has no problem with Oro Valley and is confident that it can educate residents as to the benefits of development, but that it cannot function if it has to wait for an election every time to decide whether it can go ahead with its plans.
"Five hundred people, representing 10 percent of the voters in the last election, have spoken for the whole town and stopped this whole process," Maes said, "It's a sad story."
Maes said he didn't think Citizens for Open Government would succeed in the upcoming election, but that Vistoso doesn't want to be at the beck and call of those who pose the threat of a referendum or recall every time Vistoso Partners turns around.
"I feel sorry for the way the town's going," Maes said. "But if people don't want us, we'll go this other way."
Maes said discussions of the possibility of going to the county began about a month ago and that the county asked Vistoso to withdraw its request for annexation into Oro Valley. He said development plans would remain as proposed to the Oro Valley Town Council and that Vistoso Partners would continue to negotiate with Oro Valley on the conditions it is seeking for development approval.
Coalition member and Citizens for Open Government leader Conde said the two groups are not necessarily against annexation per se, but are opposed to this pre-annexation agreement between Oro Valley and Vistoso Partners because a completely different set of rules was applied that the groups didn't like.
"There was no reason for that," Conde said. "They ought to go by the rules set for everyone else. But I suppose there is nothing we can do if they go to the county."
Bryant could not be reached for comment.
How Vistoso's request will affect the referendum is still being determined by the town, said Town Manger Chuck Sweet.
Under the preannextion agreement, Oro Valley was required to approve the annexation of Neighborhood 12 as well as amendments to General Plan and Planned Area Development proposals by Dec. 15 to avoid having to pay Vistoso Partners $500,000 for two reservoir sites totaling 1.6 acres that would have served both Neighborhood 11 and 12.
Despite the Oro Valley Town Council's subsequent approval of General Plan amendments for Neighborhood 12, the March election date made the Dec. 15 deadline impossible to meet. All development plans related to Neighborhood 12 are being delayed until after the election.
Conde said he is waiting for Oro Valley to decide what effect Vistoso Partners' decision will have on the scheduled referendum, but assumed that in due time the town will probably decide there is no reason for a referendum now and that in a year or two Vistoso Partners simply will try again for an annexation since Neighborhood 12 is the only Rancho Vistoso parcel not in Oro Valley.
Councilmember Dick Johnson said he was disappointed with Vistoso Partners' decision since Oro Valley would have had more control over Neighborhood 12 development had it remained in the town and also enjoyed a revenue stream from the project.
Johnson said that he understood Vistoso Partners' desire to pursue other avenues faced with the referendums and recalls that so often make it more difficult to do things in Oro Valley.
Citizens for Open Government also received enough petitions to place Vistoso Partners' plans to build 89 homes on 60 acres of what is now zoned for open space in Neighborhood 11 on the ballot after the town council approved a General Plan amendment for the area, but that move was made moot when the council voted Aug. 1 to reconsider that approval.
On Nov. 7, the town council postponed requests by Vistoso Partners for amendments to a General Plan to weigh the developer's Planned Area Development proposals against concessions Vistoso would be willing to make to get the amendments. The council is not expected to review Neighborhood 11 again until January.
The council is seeking a number of considerations from Vistoso in exchange for its development approval, both in neighborhoods 11 and 12.
Those that Vistoso Partners has tentatively agreed to include:
Dedicating Honey Bee Canyon Park to the town.
Purchasing 125 acres of the former ITC site in the north portion of Neighborhood 12 and dedicating that to the town along with 65 acres to the northeast of Neighborhood 11.
Dedicating an acceptable site for a reservoir in Neighborhood 11 and providing reservoir sites not already in place to serve both neighborhoods.
Conditions still being negotiated include:
Having Vistoso Partners pay more for the ground water the town pumps on its golf courses.
Providing sufficient funds to build a trail system starting at a two-acre trailhead near the southwest portion of Neighborhood 11 and connecting, via northern Honey Bee Wash, to Honey Bee Canyon Park, and dedicating any land within its property necessary for a trail system.

YORK Indoor Bowls Club's domestic season came to an end with some thrilling finals.
None was more dramatic than the last one where Paul Humphreys' team were playing John Stroughair's in the men's triples league play-off final.
Humphreys' team led 11-5 before Stroughair's came back to win four successive ends, scoring eight shots, to take the lead, only to drop three singles.
However, a single on the last end drew the scores level at 14-14, meaning an extra end was needed, and it was Humphreys who took it with another single to finish 15-14.
The vets fours play-off looked to be over as Geoff Oglesby's side led 15-9 with three ends to play, but a single then a two gave Ken Hutson's side hope. A six on the last end gave them an 18-15 victory and the title for the second time in three years.
In the mixed triples final, Sue Tomlinson's side scored four shots over three ends to reduce Melanie Brooke's lead to two shots.
Brooke's team scored a two then a single, only to drop a three on the last end to finish 14-12.
Cliff Hunter's side went into the last end of the vets triples final leading 12-10, but John Micklethwaite's side laid three shots.
However, Ray Calpin killed the end and then picked up a two on the replayed last end to finish 14-10 victors.
The other league play-off finals proved to be one-sided affairs, with Linda Harrison's team winning the ladies triples 23-6 after being 15-0 ahead before Pat Bracken's side got on the board.
Graham Instone's team only lost two ends in their 27-6 victory over Nigel Macdonald's team to claim the men's fours title, while Graham Brooke's team only lost three ends when they beat Dudley Williams' team 23-3 in the men's pairs final.
Roger Ford achieved a remarkable double in the men's Simpson pairs final.
The last time he won the trophy was in tandem with John Emmerson in 1998, and this time he teamed up with John's son, Phil, to beat Ray Calpin and Cliff Hunter 23-12.
The men's knockout triples was an exciting final as Tony Moore, Bob Elliot and Barry Walker were level at 15-15 with David Stroughair, Paul Mooring and Dudley Williams going into the last end.
With his last wood, Moore just fell short to take the winning shot as Stroughair's side won 16-15.
Hayley Macdonald, Shirley Stacey and Sue Allen beat Lynn Tattersall, Zoe Eagles and Pauline Cooper 21-15 in the ladies knockout triples.
Helen Walker won the ladies Simpson pairs title for a ninth time, as she and Zoe Eagles came from 9-5 down to beat Hayley Macdonald and Sue Allen 26-12.
Following the success of the recent Planet Bowls Tournament, York have been invited to host the 2015 York Open on the weekend of March 28 and 29 next year.

Director Paul Schrader's upcoming thriller The Canyons has received another strange and unusual teaser. This time around, the clip envisions the picture as a 1930s comedy.
Much like the teaser which came before it, the clip doesn't really give moviegoers a sense of what the film is about. Outside of Linday Lohan complaining about dating actors, it's hard to get a feel for where director Paul Schrader and writer Bret Easton Ellis are headed.
The synopsis at Wikipedia reads as follows:
" 'The Canyons' is a contemporary L.A. noir about the dangers of sexual obsession and ambition, both personally and professionally, among a group of young people in their 20s and how one chance meeting connected to the past unravels all of their lives, resulting in deceit, paranoia, cruel mind games and ultimately violence."
In addition to Lohan, The Canyons also features porn star James Deen and Good Will Hunting director Gus Van Sant as Dr. Campbell.
Ellis, who recently declared Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow "too hot" to be talented, had nothing but kind words to say about Lohan's performance in the upcoming erotic thriller.
The author wrote on Twitter:
"Shooting THE CANYONS starring James Deen and Lindsay Lohan: July 9-31 in L.A. Could not have dreamed of a better cast. Lindsay nailed it."
Although The Canyons has two trailers already making the rounds online, it's currently unknown when the film will find its way into theaters or onto home video.
Lindsay Lohan is likely crossing her fingers that The Canyons fares better than her Lifetime movie Liz & Dick. The actress was reportedly crushed when both critics and fans had nothing but negative things to say about the project on Twitter.
The latest trailer for Paul Schrader's thriller is below.
Are you looking forward to seeing The Canyons?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Two exhibitions about George Washington are open in Arkansas, one at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock and one at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville.
The Clinton Center exhibit is open until July 12 and features Washington's personal copy of the first Acts of Congress. The leather-bound volume is on display in the orientation theater in the center of the second floor of the museum near downtown Little Rock.
The volume is open to pages that detail the powers of the presidency and margin notes in Washington's hand are faintly visible.
The document was purchased at auction for $9.8 million by the Mount Vernon Ladies Association and will be displayed at a library on the grounds of Washington's home, Mount Vernon President and CEO Curt Viebranz said.
"This would be the keystone document for display at the library," Viebranz said in a talk at the Clinton Center on Friday to mark the opening of the exhibit.
Washington's Acts of Congress is touring the nation's 13 presidential libraries. The last stop will be the Harry S. Trumann Presidential Library in Independence, Mo., Sept. 12-21.
The Clinton Center exhibit also includes facsimiles of two letters and, on loan from Crystal Bridges, a portrait of Washington by Gilbert Stuart from 1797.
Normal Clinton Center admission charges apply, though there is no admission charge on July 4.
The exhibition at Crystal Bridges, open through Sept. 30, includes letters by Washington and a land survey he documented when he was 19 years old. In addition to being a soldier, planter and politician, Washington also worked as a land surveyor.
The "Surveying George Washington" exhibition also includes letters by contemporaries of Washington who knew him.
Organizers say the exhibition strives to bring out Washington's persona traits to bring him down to earth from his status as a lofty historical figure. The documents cover different times of Washington's life, from his role in the French and Indian War to his personal secretary's notice of Washington's death in 1799.
There is no charge to see the regular collection and the Washington exhibit at Crystal Bridges.

Wemyss is a lucky fellow, and will, I hope, do credit to his luck.
The man was, I understand, a guest in the house of Mr. Wemyss.
She sat down in one of the immense chairs, and had the disagreeable sensation that she was sitting down in Wemyss hollowed out.
All that day and all the next day Wemyss was Lucy's tower of strength and rock of refuge.
Wemyss, who made his plans first and talked about them afterwards, hadn't mentioned Christmas even to Lucy.
Wemyss, who had done everything and been everything, disappeared in this crowd.
Wemyss was very indignant, but he was also very desirous of bridge.
Sudden and violent was Wemyss's reaction, let loose by the parlourmaid's story.
The Earl of Wemyss has an early version in repoussé silver of high technical merit.
I'm nothing without you,' said Wemyss; and his eyes, as he searched hers, were full of tears.

Pack Expo 2006: OMAC group demonstrates Ethernet protocol
The " Open Modular Architecture Controls " (OMAC) User Group expects to present a multi-vendor system of devices using Ethernet Powerlink protocol at the upcoming Pack Expo meeting in Chicago, IL, Oct. 29-Nov. 1, 2006. The packaging industry is said to require high levels of flexibility and throughput with low costs. Systems used should demonstrate high dynamics and perfect interaction of individual components, according to Ethernet Powerlink Standardization Group (EPSG). In the demonstration, all types of actuators, sensors, and I/O modules will be integrated into a Powerlink network in the OMAC system and communicate with each other.
Ethernet Powerlink installations reach a network cycle times of less than 200ernet Powerlink software can be implemented in standard Ethernet hardware.
"Only a product that continually proves its performance and openness will survive on the market", declares Dr. Edwin Kiel, chairman of the EPSG. "The trend is moving away from proprietary systems. Today, devices from various manufacturers need to interact with each other problem-free and perform to their fullest. Ethernet Powerlink meets these demands completely."
EPSG says Ethernet Powerlink (EPL) is "the only market-established real-time Ethernet protocol with micro-second accuracy. It is based exclusively on international standards and there are over 150,000 EPL nodes in use in traditional production machinery around the world." EPL is "an open standard for distributed automation solutions based on the Ethernet and CANopen profiles," and more than 300 facilitators, suppliers and users have implemented EPL, EPSG says, while over 150 mechanical engineers have completed EPL projects. Group members include: ABB Robotics, Alstom, Altera, Baldor, B&R, Eckelmann, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, Hirschmann, infoteam Software, innotec, IXXAT, Kuka, KW Software, Lenze, Pepperl + Fuchs, port and Tetra Pak.

Vets Group Blasts 'Social Deviant' Farah's Anti-Gay Column
Among the most controversial reactions to the landmark repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell was a recent column [1] at WorldNetDaily by Joseph Farah, in which he essentially urged soldiers and those interested in becoming soldiers not to serve in the U.S. Military.
"As much as I respect and admire the U.S. military as an institution, I would find myself actively encouraging men and women to leave - in droves," Farah, who oversees the well-read site, wrote in the column posted December 17 before the repeal occurred.
"If the U.S. military is going to be transformed into just another tool of twisted social engineering, rather than a force designed to defend America's national security interests, dedicated, brave and upstanding young men and women should no longer participate of their own free will," Farah added. "It's just that simple. Let the politicians cobble together a military of social deviants if they think they can."
The column drew several critical responses from those in the news business and those who follow military and gay rights issues, ranging from one who called it "irresponsible" to another describing it as "disgusting bigotry."
Mike Triplett, vice president of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and top blogger on the group's website, blasted Farah's column.
"It is clearly, incredibly irresponsible. This is a good example of the kind of irresponsible commentary that goes on so often in the conservative press," he said. "It is unfortunate that there is so much irrational vindictive inside the conservative press and that it gets linked to by conservative bloggers and legitimate press. That is of greater concern, they are linked by more legitimate people."
Ashwin Madia, an Iraq War veteran and interim chairman of VoteVets.org, stated in an e-mail response to the column:
"It's disappointing to hear someone demand that brave American men and women stop serving their country because of his blind hatred for a particular group of people. Fortunately, those who have served in today's military - including leadership from every branch - are rightfully confident that every survey of service members is correct and this repeal will have little effect on recruitment, retention, and readiness."
He also added, "...the disgusting bigotry of Mr. Farah makes very clear who has rightfully earned the title of 'social deviant.'"
Col. Dave Lapan, a U.S. Department of Defense public affairs officer, dismissed Farah's column.
"We see editorials and opinions all the time and people are free to have opinions," Lapan said. "I would suspect that most people in the military are serving for other reasons and wouldn't listen to that type of admonition for people.
"The military is, if nothing else, a meritocracy, people advance because they are good at what they do, regardless of where they grew up or what gender they are or what racial group they grew up with."
Lapan added: "Historically, when other militaries have made this change, those who reported that the change would cause them to either leave the service or not join the service severely overestimated what actually happened in practice. Very small numbers actually followed through on that."
Jarrod Chlapowski, field and development director of Service Members United -- the largest gay and lesbian troop organization - said predictions of military problems are unfounded.
"They made much more dire predictions about white soldiers leaving the military during the integration of African-Americans in the military and it did not occur," said Chlapowski, an Army veteran who served from 2000 to 2005.
He said reactions like Farah's are not a surprise, but hardly the majority viewpoint: "We won our biggest gay rights victory yet and this is what you will see. Yes, the media should not be advocating something that is clearly wrong and incorrect, but it is an opinion column and he is entitled to it. The implementation of the repeal will be the best education in that regard, it will demonstrate that it is not an issue. We are at a point where we are not arguing for repeal, it is actually happening."

Apple will be including Ruby on Rails in the next version of OS X (Leopard), both server and client.
I'm a big fan of RoR and since the version of Ruby that shipped with my Mac was a little botched, I'm excited to hear that they're including a tested version of both Ruby and Rails in the next version.
I wonder how many Rails sites will be running on the new Xeon Xserves? I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one, that's for sure!

Custom Faux Wooden Blinds in Monroe NY 10950
Custom Faux Wooden Blinds in Monroe NY 10950
Monroe Window Treatments Nationwide - Serving Monroe and surrounding areas. Highly trusted for over 15 years!Call Now! (855) 548-0845
The best bathroom window treatments in Monroe NY 10950 are those which look luxurious without compromising on the functionality and maintenance of the windows. A wide range of bathroom window treatments are available in innumerable themes and color schemes depending on the interiors of your bathroom.
Bathroom window treatments can be done using various materials which suit the environment accordingly. Water-resistant materials are in greater demand when it comes to bathroom window treatments. The popular ones in this category are plastics and vinyls like the EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate) and faux wood. These are strong, durable and lie in the medium cost range. The faux wood is very trendy as it gives the look of wood finish but unlike wood, it doesn't swell or wear away when placed in contact with water. These materials are very easy to clean as they can be washed as well as wiped with sponge or wipe cloth, thus, making them quick to maintain.
Other window treatments ideas in Monroe NY 10950 also include renovating your window completely by changing its basic form. This can be done effectively by adding various window styles such as the awnings, bay windows, stained glass, Japanese styled woven bamboo windows, fancy grilles, fully or partially glazed work, casement windows and Jalousie windows.
You can add more luxury to your large bathroom by infusing your bathroom window treatments with miniature clerestory windows. Acrylic glass block windows play a good amount of role in beautifying the bathrooms.
For carrying out treatments for existing windows, you can put curtains and draperies. Curtains and valances come in hundreds of colors and patterns. You can choose from a variety of materials and fabrics like cotton, vinyl, nylon and plastic. Before buying the curtains, make sure that the material is colorfast, strong and does not wear away by soap scum. You can get all kinds of valances for your bathroom window treatments in Monroe NY 10950.
You can buy sheer fabrics like lace, muslin and net for a warm and light look or opt for dark colored swags for the heavy look. These window curtains must be backed by shades to enable sufficient privacy while using the bathrooms at night. The curtains can be tied either on both sides or one side depending upon the ease of operating them. The valances can be simple fabrics or box types or in the form of shelves. The shelf valance is very trendy as you can keep fancy loofahs, potpourri and ornate bath salt jars for decorative purposes. Beaded valances can be used alone or in combination with other type of valances. Bathroom window treatments for kids' bathrooms in Monroe NY 10950 should be innovative and different from the usual bathroom window treatments. The curtain rods can be of innovative shapes such as a branch of a tree or a Christmas candy shaped curtain rod for your kids' bathroom windows.
If you don not wish to go for draperies or a lacy look, then rolling blinds, Roman shades, vertical and horizontal blinds, colorful shades and elegant shutters in Monroe NY 10950 are the correct option for you. Shutters generally open outwards and they are not as easy to operate as curtains or rolling shades. With a shelf at the base of the window, you can extend the length of the window, making it appear larger than it actually is.

Marcos Maidana Under Investigation After WBA Championship Fight
Photo Credit: Getty Images
Adrien Broner may be able to come out as a winner after all. After getting his butt whooped from Marcos Maidana there is now an investigation after accusations of Maidana cheating. According to TMZ Sports, the Texas Boxing Commission are analyzing a video where some believe that Maidana is taking a pill during the WBA welterweight championship fight last Saturday. Moreover, cheating in a WBA welterweight fight is taken very seriously, even water needs to be tested prior to a fight.
However, the once undefeated boxer Broner says that the defeat did not shatter his ego and is positive that the outcome of the investigation will be in his favor.
The results of the investigation will come out in 1-2 days.

What first drew me into Once Upon a Time was seeing Little Red Skanking Hood in the first episode. I knew I had to stick with the show just to get her back-story, regardless of how bored I might become (and I have been!). I was hella excited to be the one recapping this episode for you all!
Let's start out with the blah parts for me: David, Katherine and Mary Margaret's love triangle. We all know Katherine is still missing, and David is the prime suspect. Emma is investigating, but because they can't find Katherine, technically no crime has been committed thus David can't be arrested.
(Need to catch up? Check out previous Once Upon a Time recaps: Episode 11 | Episode 12 | Episode 13 | Episode 14)
Mary Margaret, of course, can't just sit still and sets out to find Katherine herself; apparently she's better than the police at this point. The whole running into David in the woods in my opinion was cheese; all of the sudden he's having blackouts again but was fine the entire time Katherine was around?
I wasn't interested in the storyline. I feel like I have invested so much into this couple's triangle and am totally over them and every situation they get into. Make it end already!
The rest of the episode was awesome, though! Honestly, Red/Ruby (actress Meghan Ory) totally steals the show; her acting in the episode blew everyone out of the park! Girl has the BEST outfits on the show, awesome makeup, and she snarks. Of course I fell in love with her!
In the past, Red Riding Hood lives with her Gran and there's a wolf terrorizing the small town they live in. Every night it comes out and massacres whatever idiot decides to try and hunt it. Of course, Gran is in over protective control freak mode and hardly lets Red out of her sight, never mind the house. She basically is living in a gilded cage, but somehow she ends up meeting Peter, the town hottie. He wants her to run away with him, but she's still attached to Granny and doesn't really make up her mind.
Long story short, Red ends up meeting Snow (who says her name is Frosty, I mean Margaret, I mean Mary) while in the barn getting eggs. Snow hid in there from the wolf and was totally thieving the eggs and got busted!
Side Note
Red's clothing is made of awesome this entire episode! From the red cloak down to her wickedly well done fake eyelashes! I could kiss the wardrobe department for their genius. Especially since I've hated on them ever since Emma showed up in her first leather jacket.
In the present, we have Ruby struggling with life. Gran is really no different from past time; she's still overprotective and anal retentive where Ruby is concerned. Thus Ruby acts out, dressing like a slore (slut + whore) and flirting with customers. Such a situation happens and it ends up with Ruby telling Gran to shove it and quitting her job at the diner. Long story short, she ends up working for Emma doing odd jobs at the police station. I may have spaced out a little here and stared in awe at Red's eye shadow, was it not fantastic?
Back in past landia, Snow and Red set off to the well to get some water. Red asks that Snow help her pull the rope out, but Snow freezes in horror and it's then that Red sees that the water they pulled up isn't quite crystal clear. DON'T DRINK THE WATER, even Dave Matthews warned you all! Red turns to see why Snow isn't talking and discovers that the wolf massacred all the huntsmen. We get a town hall meeting as well, where Gran explains she was attacked by a descendant of this wolf and shows off the mean looking scars on her arm! This prompts our ladies (Snow and Red) to set out and find the wolf, because Granny won't let Red live her life unless the wolf is dead. So off they go following bloody paw prints until Snow utters my all time favorite line of the show: "Wolves don't wear boots!" I actually had to pause the DVR and cackle whilst writing that line down. See, the paw prints all of the sudden turn into hybrid claw/boot prints.
The paw prints end up leading them to a house and they assume that the wolf is Peter! Snow convinces Red to go warn Peter, but Red is worried Gran is gonna freak her shit out. So Snow swaps cloaks and goes to pretend she is Red. After explaining to Peter, Red goes all BDSM and ties his ass to a tree with chains so that he can't attack anyone. This happens to be around the time Gran discovers it's not Red in bed, it.s Snow, and this is when shit gets trippy as hell. Peter isn't the wolf, RED IS THE WOLF! I just about fell off the couch when that came out! I might be dense, but I didn't see that coming at all! Gran kept it hush hush so Red wouldn't feel bad, umm IDIOT!
By the time they get to where Red has tied Peter, he's been eaten. Whoops. Gran arrows Wolf Red and throws the wizard spelled cloak on her, and she wakes up. Can I just say, Red's acting was AMAZING. Her reaction to finding this out, brilliant. Well done! Gran and Snow convince Red she's got to run away, because the hunters are coming and she takes off.
Back in the real world, Emma sends Ruby out on a mission. Ruby is a receptionist, but somehow Emma thinks it's a good idea to send her out to a potential crime scene where she ends up damaging evidence. In any case, she finds a box buried by the water and inside said box is a heart. After that drama, Emma gets superspeed fingerprints in little Storybrooke and goes to tell Mary and David what they found. David immediately asks to be arrested but that's when we find out the fingerprints were Mary's. Dun Dun DUUUUUUUN.
This was my FAVORITE episode of the season, it made me remember why I liked Once Upon a Time when I first saw it!

I stayed overnight because I really wanted to stay in the park, my advice is dont stay here!! The views and walks are amazing but the experience at this hotel left me shuddering.
The room when we arrived had not been entered in a while judging by the dust layers everywhere.... we noticed 2 open grates either side of the room..covered with chicken wire and a wooden cover - let so much of the heat out!! and why are they there??/ considering you have to take everything out of your cars so not to attract bears - this gives them an opening to smell all that you have in the room! and we froze!! the heater barely worked and the covers of the bed were worn and musty.
The fridge turns iteself off after a number of hours?? what the??
The food at the canteen type place was greasy and unappetizing...and we probably should have gotten something from the supermarket onsite.
The worst thing was we had a rat in our room that probably got in and out from those useless side vent things and we had no hot wate, we couldnt leave fast enough in the morning....The view (which is fabulous) is just not worth this sort of stay!

It's no secret Matt Smith hasn't had the kind of season he would have liked to have had.
Hampered by injuries that seldom kept him out of the lineup but certainly cut into the quality of his play, the junior from Elida hasn't produced the numbers he anticipated this season.
That doesn't matter this morning.
Smith took it upon himself to put The College of Wooster into the North Coast Athletic Conference championship tonight against Wittenberg with a stunning first half against Wabash, scoring 20 of his 23 points and hitting all six of his first-half 3-pointers to help Wooster to an 83-80 victory.
Unlike two weeks ago when the Scots' go-to guy, Bryan Nelson, picked up his third personal foul early against Wabash, that repeat scenario mattered little Friday night. Wooster had a 47-34 halftime lead, and although the Little Giants cut Wooster's margin to four points in the final seconds of the game, Smith's dominant performance was too much for Wabash to overcome.
Flash back to Wabash's 76-62 win over the Scots when Smith had just nine points and the Scots shot only 34 percent. So, even though Wabash was 15-of-32 shooting the ball in the opening 20 minutes, the Scots countered with Smith and were an astounding 20-of-28 -- 71 percent -- from the floor.
Smith came into the season making 48 percent of his floor shots and 46 percent beyond the arc. Those fell to 42 percent from the field and 38 percent beyond the arc this year as he averaged 9.3 points a game.
All of those struggles washed away Friday.
"It feels twice as good to do it at tournament time," Smith said. "In tournaments, it's one and you're done. Each game can be your last.
"You've got to spill your guts for 40 minutes. When you spill your guts and make shots, it feels good."
The Scots were leading 24-21 before Wabash went on a 9-0 run to claim a 30-24 edge. The Scots countered by scoring on nine of 10 possessions, including their last eight, to storm to their halftime advantage.
Brian Carlisle started the surge with a bucket inside before Smith took over. He hit four of his 3-pointers in the final 6:43 of the half to lead a 26-10 scoring finish as Wooster focused on moving the ball to help create open shots.
"It's something we've tried to preach," Smith said. "We had guys passing up open shots that they might have taken earlier in the year and the results showed."
Especially when the ball was in Smith's hands.
"The last couple weeks I've shot better and my confidence came back," Smith said. "But, every time I started to shoot better I hurt something.
"This was just one of those nights where your confidence soars."
From Wabash coach Mac Petty's standpoint, his team contributed to Wooster's scoring run.
"We were up six with seven minutes to play," Petty said. "We just didn't play good defense and Smitty got hot. He made some big shots ... and we had some turnovers.
"We had some young guys who didn't listen to what we wanted to do (defensively on Smith)," Petty added. "I guess I didn't get that across and make sure they understood how to guard him."
While that may have been the case from the Little Giants' standpoint, the fact was Wooster was hitting everything, including 7-of-9 from 3-point range in the opening 20 minutes.
"We executed very well against their (2-3) zone," Scot coach Steve Moore said. "We had a lot of guys who had fine performances.
"Smitty was on fire ... and the guys knew he was hot. We wanted to get the ball to him and he wanted the ball. We had eight straight scores and built that halftime lead and then scored on the first possession of the second half to extend it."
That score, a 3-pointer by Nelson, gave Wooster its biggest lead of the game at 50-34 before the Little Giants began to close the gap. They got it down to eight, 50-42, with 16 minutes to play, but it was back to 14 points, 79-65, with 2:23 to play.
Surprisingly, though, Wooster never got to the free throw line (7-of-9, all in the second half) and Wabash mounted a furious rally. It actually had the Scots' lead down to 81-77 with the ball, but the Scots defended Wabash's 3-point attempt well and Nelson hit two free throws with six seconds to play to seal the win.
Nelson had a big second half, scoring 17 of his game-high 25 points in that span. He was 8-of-13 shooting the ball, making all three of his 3-point attempts, and led Wooster with eight rebounds. Smith, in addition to his 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting, had a team-high seven assists and also had four steals. Antwyan Reynolds contributed 17 points as he made 7-of-12 fielders.
For the night, Wooster was 32-of-55 from the field and made 12-of-19 3-pointers.
Brady Claxton led Wabash (15-11) with 25 points on 7-of-12 fielders and Joe DesJean was 9-of-17 to finish with 24 points on a night the Little Giants made 51 percent of their shots (26-of-51) from the floor and 21-of-25 free throws.
Wooster, which improved to 21-6 on the year, gets a rematch with Wittenberg (24-3) tonight at 7 p.m. Wittenberg beat Ohio Wesleyan 75-69 to advance to the finals. Wooster beat the Tigers 59-56 in last year's NCAC title game.

The fourth time was the charm.
The revised competitive balance proposal that would affect high school team sports was approved by a 411-323-3 vote (54 percent approval), the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced Friday.
The OHSAA mailed out 820 ballots in late April. Only 83 were not returned.
"We're very pleased with the 90 percent return mark," OHSAA Commissioner Dan Ross said during a teleconference Friday. "This is the start of the journey for us."
Ross added plans will include bringing in the subcommittee in a couple of weeks to answer questions and the committee is scheduled to reconvene in August to work out a plan.
"Any time you put things in place there is always something that will come up, but any type of change or movement in the formula will go back to the schools for a vote," Ross added.
The proposal was approved by the membership after three previous plans were defeated.
The latest proposal has an altered formula. It still factored in the school's overall enrollment, which was part of the original plan. The changes are new modifying factors which will be applied to students on the six affected teams sports, where the student's parents reside and/or the educational history of the student.
Football, volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball and softball are the affected team sports. The modifier is two for football and five for the other five sports.
Ross stressed any school violating the issue can expect a reprimand.
"There will probably by a fine and the team caught falsifying their roster would be eliminated from that tournament," he added.
That would affect students in both public and private schools. The students in non-public schools would be subject to the modifier, if they did not attend the "feeder" school in the district.
Ross is hopeful the adopted competitive balance proposal will end any discussion of creating separate state tournaments for public and private schools.
"We are not a supporter of separate state tournaments," said Ross, who then added, "From the group (Wayne County) which was pushing competitive balance, they said if it would pass, they would drop their issue to create separate state tournaments."
The issue will take effect in the 2016-2017 school year.

Le Reve gets February facelift
This February, Le Rêve Patisserie and Café, 7610 Harwood Ave., will close for a few weeks to allow for an interior facelift.
"We have grown so much in the past four years that our kitchen is becoming too small to handle the amount of guests we have," says Cat Yee Cramton, Le Rêve's manager.
In 2011, the owners decided to renovate and add seating around a bar. Cramton reports that the 2013 remodel will allow for an expansion of both the kitchen and dining areas. The historic building, which was once a bank, will lose a bit of its identity in the process.
"We will be removing the vaults from the upstairs dining room and the main floor dining room," she says. "This will open up space in both areas."
Construction is scheduled to begin on Monday, Feb. 18. Updates will be available from the restaurant on the web and Facebook.

Judgment Day
By Brett Younger
When I was 15 years old, my father was the pastor of the strictest church in the world. In Saltillo, Miss., pastor of the Baptist church wasnext to coach of the high school football teamthe most important job in town. My father preached loudlya bit like John the Baptist. He is a kind and caring man, but when I was growing up, he frightened me.
That summer, I got a job in Tupelo eight miles away. At that time, you could get a driver's license at 15. Now that seems about 10 years too soon. My father taught me how to drive the right wayhands at 10 and 2 o'clock, five miles below the speed limit, acting with utmost patience"Don't ever drive in a hurry." As part of my teenage rebellion, I put my hands at 9 and 3 o'clock and went five miles above the speed limit.

Woonsocket, R.I. -- CVS Caremark Corp. reported a 16% profit jump for its fiscal second quarter, but the drug store operator has dropped the top end of its 2013 earnings forecast to just below Wall Street expectations.
CVS earned $1.12 billion in the second quarter, well above its year-ago profit of $966 million. Revenue rose 1.7% to $31.25 billion, surpassing the $31.14 billion forecast.
During its Tuesday morning second-quarter conference call with analysts, CVS Caremark executives said they were pleased with the "strong" operating results enterprise-wide and expressed optimism looking ahead as it continues to position itself along the front lines of health care and leverage the upcoming changes under health reform.
"We are very pleased with our strong operating results enterprise-wide in the second quarter," said Larry Merlo, president and CEO. Yet, he said, "considering our strong operating results to date and all other factors affecting our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are narrowing our earnings guidance for 2013."
Revenues in the retail segment rose 1.9% during the quarter. Same-store sales increased 0.4% with pharmacy same-store sales increasing 0.8%. However, it was the 0.4% dip in front-end same-store sales that caught much of the attention. Merlo indicated that the shift in the Easter holiday negatively impacted (by 65 basis points) the front end, and noted that front-store margins "expanded nicely in the quarter."

As for walking into a best buy and asking for a gaming console. Yeah, you wouldn't find the iPhone or iPad there.. but what? because its not clearly defines as a gaming console its not? I can slide to unlock and press the APPS.. and I have more games then any best buy, Walmart, Game shop.. you name.. times are changing not everyone wants to carry around a PSP or 3DS or w/e. Why would you when can carry an iPod, Phone, gaming, email, web browsing you name it, basically a mini computer in your pocket.
ps. read what I wrote.. "Regardless if Apple is the Direct cause or indirect cause, I'm willing to bet big time that Apple destroying the market."
Don't twist my words.
But you are right....times are definitely changing and the ability of the iPad and iPhone to do multiple things is what has propelled them to more popularity than classic portable gaming-only systems. People like flexibility and devices that can handle multiple tasks and purposes at the same time....but an iPhone just isn't a true gaming system and I remain firm on that opinion. When people buy an iPad....they're not doing it for its gaming ability only. They are doing it because of its other more useful business applications as well as portable Internet functionality. Very few people if any will spend $500+ dollars on an iPad for their kid who only wants something that plays games when they can easily get a DS or PSP for much cheaper and be just as happy.
(and as you guess the 3DS is in...3D xD)

London (CNSNews.com) - In a trial vote later this month, the British government plans to gauge legislative opinion on a potential bill to ban the traditional sport of hunting foxes with dogs in England.
Hunting supporters say the practice is part of Britain's rural heritage, while animal rights activists argue that the sport is a cruel pastime for the wealthy.
Pro-hunt activists vowed Monday to keep pressure on the government in advance of an "indicative vote" on March 18 that will give parliamentarians the chance to voice their opinion on what type of hunting bill, if any, should be introduced in the legislature next year.
The vote will follow a day-long debate on the subject, and MPs will choose whether they prefer to ban foxhunting entirely, allow it to continue with government licensing provisions, or to keep the status quo.
Last month, Scottish legislators voted to ban hunting with dogs, effectively putting an end to the sport starting this fall. Prime Minister Tony Blair's administration decided Thursday to put a similar measure before the British parliament that would stop foxhunting in England and Wales.
Blair's Labour Party promised to hold the second "free vote" in two years on the foxhunting question in its general election platform last year. Whips will not enforce a party line and each legislator will be free to vote according to his or her stance on the issue.
In 2000, the House of Commons voted in favor of a total ban, but the House of Lords refused to change the law and the bill was killed.
Darren Hughes, a spokesman for the Countryside Alliance's Campaign for Hunting, Britain's largest pro-hunting group, said a similar result is likely this time around.
"We expect both houses to vote the same way they did last time, so if the government wants to introduce legislation there will have to be some sort of compromise," he said.
Hughes said that during the 2000 vote, the so-called "middle way" of government licensing put forth by politicians was "pretty much unworkable."
"Whether we support a compromise depends on what the government comes up with this time," he said. "We're willing to listen."
The spokesman also pointed out that, far from being unregulated, foxhunts are currently overseen by a variety of independent organizations led by the Independent Supervisory Authority on Hunting.
"We feel they adequately regulate the industry, but some people are never going to be happy until hunting is banned," Hughes said.
One of those people is Douglas Batchelor, chief executive of the League Against Cruel Sports, an organization that is confident of winning another victory after the vote in Scotland.
"We are now another step closer to our goal of seeing a ban on hunting in place for the whole of the U.K.," he said.
Batchelor said an overwhelming vote against hunting in the House of Commons would force the government to introduce a bill banning the sport, regardless of the outcome in the Lords.
Hughes countered by saying there are more important issues for legislators to be concerned with, citing the recent foot-and-mouth disease epidemic that ravaged Britain's rural economy. Still, the Campaign for Hunting will be actively fighting any suggestion of a ban.
"We will be writing to our MPs and expressing our concern about the upcoming vote," Hughes said. "If any hostile legislation is introduced, we'll fight it the same way we did last time."

Fall 2011 Staff Picks
Fall 2011 Staff Picks
Ronnie Shapiro
I could've easily chosen five other shows from our Fall 2011 lineup because it's chock full of heavy hitters, but off the top of my head here are my fab five. All of these shows will most certainly deliver.
I love Trane and Chris is as good as it gets on tenor in 2011. I hear McCoy can still burn too.
A legend, paired with Patitucci on bass and Blade on drums this show has the potential to produce a cornucopia of stankface.
When I saw him in 2009, he blew the shorts off of the Masonic Center.

And, just to be clear, I did not say it was un-driveable. I said he should not drive it until the RSM's are replaced. If your wife is in labor, or your kid has a bleeding head wound, then drive it. Otherwise, stop driving, and fix it.
But, if I am in the minority here, then that is fine. I would not risk additional damage to the shock.
I mentioned sheet metal tearing because there have been photos posted on here, that I could not dig up, of that entire area tearing in some of the worst cases, and cracks developing around the bolt holes at best. They do sell those reinforcement plates for the RSM's for a reason.
If you figure the costs of repairing the sheet metal in that area, I would stop driving, and replace the mounts, rather than risk damage. It is always easy to debate possibilities, and to say that it "shouldn't be a problem" when it is not your car.
I will not hand out advice like that, plain and simple. I have seen and read about RSM failures associated with cracking or tearing sheet metal in that area, so my advice is and will always be to stop driving, and replace the part, because of the potential for more damage.
The OP can listen or not, and he has to make the final decision. Personally, I think it is irresponsible to tell someone they "should be OK". Err on the side of caution, and assume that the person posting is not able to make an informed decision or to evaluate the risk properly. The fact that he asked is pretty good proof of that, and I don't want additional damage to his car because I guessed that it would be OK.
I was polite about it, and I did not get all "Mango dramatic" (sorry Mango
) with him and say "You are an idiot if you don't replace the entire rear suspension". I simply said that, in my opinion, he should stop driving it, and replace the mounts. After all, we are only talking about $70 worth of parts.
Unless I can crawl in his trunk, and look for myself, I will advise the most cautious approach. But, maybe that is just me.
Lol, Mango-dramatic! At the first sign of irregularity, REPLACE ENTIRE SUSPENSION AND COOLING SYSTEM.
Good point, I guess considering the fairly minimal cost to replace the mount and hardware and a high mileage car with unknown maintenance records makes it easy to be cautious in this case. Also as information, the top washer is supposed to be concave:

April 13, 2011
TARPON SPRINGS, FLORIDA –– The International Lightning Class Association is pleased to announce the 2011 Boat Grant Teams. Going into its fifth season, the innovative Boat Grant Program puts race-ready Lightnings into the hands of young teams who might otherwise not be able to campaign a Lightning.
Skipper Caroline Patten is a senior at Hobart/William Smith College who lives in Barnegat Light, New Jersey. "We really like her enthusiasm," says Co-Chair Debbie Probst. "Last year after she just missed receiving a grant, she found a boat to borrow and experienced Lightning sailing. We were very pleased when Caroline applied again. And we think we'll really capture her interest in the Lightning Class after she is completely immersed this summer. Her successful application this year might serve as an example to other teams who we encourage to reapply next year. Don't give up." Patten's team includes Tyler Menninger of Langhorne, Pennsylvania and Michael Crann of Brick, New Jersey. Local Lightning sailor, Jarrett Lynn will be assisting the team as their mentor.
While the Boat Grant Program has introduced many new young sailors to the class, the other 2011 Boat Grant team includes some familiar faces. Skipper Will Tyner of the Charleston area, was an "especially gratifying" selection, according to ILCA President Rob Ruhlman, partly because Tyner represents the younger end of the growing Lightning scene in the Charleston area, and also because this 20-year-old has been campaigning a 45-year-old Lightning at national events for several years. Tyner will be joined by teammates Reese Wilkins and Conner Brady. Greg Fisher, a longtime Lightning supporter who recently moved to the Charleston Area to take on the position as the Director of Sailing at the College of Charleston, will be serving as the team's mentor.
Through the generosity of the members of the ILCA, the program was able to purchase a second boat for the program this year. Both of these teams will be sailing nearly new boats that are owned by the ILCA.
As the program continues to foster young teams into world-class one-design racing, we have just gotten word that another Boat Grant Alumni will be purchasing a Lightning this year. This makes at least four new teams on the water as a direct result of the Boat Grant Program, and several other alumni are looking at getting a Lightning. What a testament to the competition and camaraderie of the Lightning Class!
More information about the ILCA Boat Grant Program can be found on the Lightning Class website: http://www.lightningclass.org/racing/boatGrant/index.asp, or by contacting the ILCA office, Co-Chairs Debbie Probst or Bill Fastiggi.

NEW YORK (Apr. 16)
Judge Irving Lang of the Criminal Court of New York County today dismissed criminal trespass charges against 45 young Jewish militants who staged a sit-in, sing-in and blockade at the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies offices April 8. Federation, which had called the police to evacuate the protesters, recommended that the charges be dropped. The police had originally stated that 41 persons had been arrested. The protesters demands included expanded assistance to religious education and a $10,000 donation to the April 26 Exodus March for Soviet Jewry.
