Emery shuts down Rangers in Flyers' 2-0 winJan 22, 2010 - 3:44 AM
PHILADELPHIA(AP) -- Dan Carcillo's bloody knuckles came at the expense of an unlikely victim.
Ray Emery made 24 saves for his second shutout of the season, and James van Riemsdyk and Mike Richards scored in the Philadelphia Flyers' 2-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.
But Carcillo's fight against Rangers star Marian Gaborik overshadowed another strong effort by the resurgent Flyers.
Rangers coach John Tortorella was furious that Philadelphia's enforcer went after his best player and sarcastically called Carcillo "a brave guy."
"There's no honor in that," Tortorella said. "I don't play the game, I don't wear the uniform, I don't want to say too much about it, but there's simply no honor in that."
Carcillo floored Gaborik with a hard uppercut early in the second period after the two-time All-Star surprisingly dropped his gloves first.
"I didn't really expect to fight who I fought, but it kind of worked out," Carcillo said. "I don't know who on that line would have been able to help him though. I wasn't expecting him to drop his gloves, but when he did, I pretty much was licking my chops."
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette defended his player.
"Gabby dropped his gloves first," Laviolette said. "Danny can either get punched in the face or fight."
Carcillo's knockout sparked a feisty period. Philadelphia's Scott Hartnell knocked Sean Avery down with two solid rights to the face several minutes later. Avery then got the better of Carcillo in the final minute of the period. Carcillo said he was reluctant to throw punches because of the cuts on his hand.
Avery tried to goad Richards into a fight with 7 seconds left in the game, but Philadelphia's captain kept his cool.
"Any time you fight their best player, you're going to have guys come after you and that's the nature of the game and Avery did his thing, and that was it," Carcillo said.
Making his third straight start since returning from abdominal surgery, Emery cooled off a team that had scored 14 goals in consecutive wins.
"The guys played really physical and stayed out of the (penalty) box as well," Emery said. "Any time you can do that, you put yourself in a good spot."
The Flyers have moved into the Eastern Conference playoff picture by going 10-3-1 since losing to Florida on Dec. 21.
Despite their recent success, the Rangers have been shutout three times in the last six games. They were 6-2-3 since the Flyers dominated them in a 6-0 victory on Dec. 30.
A trip to Philly usually results in victory for the Rangers. They're 14-3-1 at the Wachovia Center since March 27, 2004.
"I thought they did a really great job in the neutral zone, they play a lock style, they defended the red line well," Tortorella said. "We have to give them a lot of credit there."
Van Riemsdyk gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead with a breakaway goal late in the first period. Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist stopped van Riemsdyk's first shot, but he scored on a backhander off the rebound.
Richards scored a power-play goal with 3 seconds left in the second period to make it 2-0. His slap shot from just inside the left faceoff circle went through a screen, hit defenseman Marc Staal's skate and trickled in.
NOTES: Emery has 10 career shutouts. His previous one was against Carolina in Philadelphia's season opener. ... The Flyers are 12-10-2 since Laviolette replaced John Stevens as coach. ... Richards' goal was his 20th, giving him the team lead. ... Lundqvist fell to 7-2 in Philly. ... The Flyers are 2-0 during their six-game homestand.

Gooey Butter Cookies
Gooey Butter Cookies have all the delicious flavors of gooey butter cake, but in cookie form. A sprinkling of powdered sugar makes them extra special!
The holiday season may be over, but I hope you're not cookie-d out just yet. I mean, is it even possible to tire of cookies? I think not. Especially when we're talking Gooey Butter Cookies, I'm telling you, they're just too good to pass up!
Cookies were pretty much my jam last month – as you do when you're a baking blogger during peak baking season. From my No Bake Cookies to Peanut Butter Blossoms and Melting Snowman Cookies to these incredible Cherry Cheesecake Cookies, it's pretty much been a nonstop cookie assembly line in my kitchen. And one of our new faves are these delightful Gooey Butter Cookies.
I've long been a huge fan of gooey butter cake – you simply can't go wrong with butter, cream cheese, and sugar, right? So when I stumbled upon a recipe for Gooey Butter Cookies, I knew they'd instantly become one of my favorites. And since Gooey Butter Cake and cookies both use a boxed cake mix, the recipes come together in no time. So they're perfect when you're short on time, or have a bit of a cake mix hoarding problem like I do.
These Gooey Butter Cookies are soft, cake-like and just plain delicious. Another great thing about them is that you can play around with different cake mix flavors to recreate this cookie over and over again. This recipe works beautifully with lemon cake mix and Devil's Food cake mix. Next on my to-do list is butter pecan, which I am betting is going to be pretty amazing.
I hope you're with me. Resolutions aren't worth keeping if it means you'll never eat a cookie again. Especially a Gooey Butter Cookie.
27 Responses to "Gooey Butter Cookies"
These look amazing…must try these…I love soft cookies!
I am headed to the pantry..to get out my peace cake mix and my apron..
I am not a fan of box cake mixtures, could you give the approximate quantities required for the "cake mix" if you want to make from scratch?
My husband is a big butter cake fan. When I saw the recipe yesterday I knew I had to make these cookies.
Baked them last night, easy and sooooooo good. He loves them!
Thanks for the recipe!
Do you think you could add food coloring to the mix to make them pastel colors for Easter?
If we make your homemade cake mix to use in this recipe do we include wet ingredients too? (Butter)…
My cookies didn't turn out . They were deflated, greasy and flat … Any ideas?
Can't get the recipe.
LOVE THESE! I whip this recipe up all the time. I literally crave these cookies. Amazing.
Thank you so much for this wonderful cookie! I made these yesterday, just as written, and they are very good!! Too good, because I can't eat just one! :) Thanks again!
Hi Jamie! Do you happen to know if these freeze well?
Love love love these cookies, I made them yesterday for Super Bowl and I was the hit of the party!!! I made a small little change by using zest of one lemon in the cake mix and a little bit a fresh lemon juice as well. After taking them out of the oven I make a powdered sugar glaze using more lemon juices as flavor and top with a raspberry and dusted with more powder suger. They were gorgeous!
Is there an egg substitute available? My son is allergic to eggs but I've made these for s party and they are awesome!! I wish he could have them too!

LAKELAND, Fla. -- As we strolled around the Tigers' spring training camp, it hit us.
Here in America, we measure winning in the wrong place:
The standings.
If we were really in tune with what sports is all about, we would know there's a better way.
We would measure it with the sight of 2,000 people, huddled around a back field in Tigertown at 10:30 on a wind-chilled Florida morning, watching pitchers fielding ground balls off a fungo bat.
We would measure it with the crazed scramble to find a decent March hotel room in exotic Lakeland.
We would measure it with the laughs we hear in a transformed clubhouse, a place that is no longer looked upon as a room where losers hang out.
The 2007 Tigers are walking, talking proof that the 95 games the standings say they won last year don't begin to express what they really won.
What their World Series journey really did was change their franchise. And change their lives. Just ask them.
"It does change lives. It changes communities. It changes cities," said first baseman Sean Casey, who was traded to Detroit in July 2006 and couldn't wait to re-sign as a free agent in November.
"When you win, it really does bring people together,'" Casey said. "If you're out walking around the mall and you just see a guy with a Tigers hat, it starts a conversation. It brings fans together. It brings fathers and sons out to a game. It brings friends together to watch games on TV. You see it everywhere."
And you do. You see it imprinted on faces all over Lakeland, never before regarded as a fashionable spring training destination.
You see it at the ticket windows, where this team sold more Grapefruit League tickets than it did all last spring -- before it had even played an inning.
And you see it in the upbeat demeanor of the people who draw paychecks from this team -- a team that had become a laugh track in spikes after 12 straight losing seasons.
"It used to be, if you got released out of the Tigers, you had a problem getting a job," said closer Todd Jones, whose history with this club dates back to 1997. "Because the street cred around the industry was, if he can't cut it in Detroit, how's his career looking? The same thing [happens] with other teams now. But it's just nice to be on this end of the cycle -- for once -- and not be the butt of a joke, or an afterthought."
Twelve losing seasons in a row. Twelve. No team in history had ever spent that many years below .500 and then pole-vaulted all the way to the World Series.
So how do we properly measure the transformational tidal wave unleashed by a turnaround like that? We ask the people in the middle of it to document and describe it for us. That's how.
The mind games
The GM/CEO/club president arrived a little more than five years ago. It didn't take long before David Dombrowski realized he had a mess on his hands.
He didn't merely have to stop the losing, or the how-bad-are-the-Tigers jokes. He had to undo the damage all that losing had inflicted on the brain waves of the people around him.
"One of the goals -- and we used to talk about it all the time -- was to change the mind-set of the people in the organization," Dombrowski said. "Not that they were losers. They just accepted the losing too easily."
That's what happens when your team loses for 12 years in a row. So this World Series team that Dombrowski built, he had to begin by building in the mind. In many minds.
He talks now about all the plans, the strategies, the goals. He talks about the people who were brought in and the changes that had to be made. It all had a purpose -- this purpose. It all felt right. But there was no way to prove it was right -- until a World Series season provided the only proof the planet would take seriously.
"You can talk about building," Dombrowski said. "You can talk about young players. You can talk about quality young players. But they don't get recognized until you win. You've got to win."
It was only a year ago that Dombrowski came across a list of the top 25 pitching prospects in baseball. It seemed to him that list was missing a prominent name:
A fellow named Justin Verlander.
The day Dombrowski read that list, we happened to run into him on the same back field in Tigertown. We'll never forget his venting: "If there are 25 better pitching prospects than Justin Verlander, I'll "
He decided not to finish that sentence. But we got the idea. A year later, it's clear exactly why Verlander didn't make that list.
"You don't get the recognition," Dombrowski said, "until you win."
The credibility factor
It was the place nobody wanted to play, and the place nobody wanted to stay.
"Four years ago," Dombrowski said, "you'd try to sign players, and they'd give you reasons why they didn't want to play for you. 'You're not drawing well. You're not winning. Cold-weather climate. Players don't come from there.' I heard all those reasons -- and many more.
"I remember one [free agent] who was doing everything he could to not accept our offer. He just kept stringing us along, hoping something else would come up, even though we pretty much knew we were the only team that had made an offer. Even the agent was saying, 'We're just waiting.' And it went on a long time. I mean months."
Not anymore.
Now that a World Series has cast its glow on the franchise, it's almost shocking to hear the marquee future free agents -- Pudge Rodriguez, Carlos Guillen, Kenny Rogers -- just about begging this team to sign them, extend them, keep them around.
You see Casey, jumping at the Tigers' offer last fall, not even a week into the free-agent signing period. You hear Rodriguez saying: "Everyone wants to come here right now." So how magical is the power of winning? That says it all.
"Really," Dombrowski said, "that's the difference between one extreme and the other -- why people don't want to play with you, versus why, all of a sudden, they do. You've got the same franchise except you win."
The closer
The closer was a Tiger back in the days of Deivi Cruz and Melvin Nieves and Omar Olivares. Todd Jones first joined the Tigers in February 1997, the season after a 109-loss nightmare.
He hasn't been a Tiger for all 10 seasons since then. But he goes back in time further than anyone around him. He saw a once-great franchise disintegrating in front of his eyes. He'd known nothing in this town but losing and more losing.
Until last year, when the Tigers brought him back, after a 4½-year, seven-team intermission. For this.
"My whole career," he said, "my knock was: 'He can't get big outs. He can't pitch in big-pressure [situations]. He's just a second-tier closer.' Well, being on a good team gives you the avenue to debate that point."
Three years ago, he got released by the Devil Rays. So imagine the feeling of this man at age 38, finding himself back in Detroit in October 2006, in the middle of a celebration he never thought he'd live to see: A celebration by a team that had just won the ALCS and now had an appointment with the World Series.
It was so overwhelming that, more than an hour after the last pitch, "I went back out on the field," Jones said. "And I sat on the back of the mound -- for five minutes, 10 minutes just sitting there, freezing, in this empty ballpark, knowing I was going to the World Series. And it was such a fulfilling moment."
Later that night, he and his wife went out to dinner -- and got a standing ovation. For the next week, as the Tigers waited for the Series to start, he could hardly walk down the street without experiencing another head-on collision with rampant euphoria.
"People were just happy," he said. "We made them happy. People just wanted to come up and say thanks. They didn't want anything. They didn't want you to sign a picture or anything. They just wanted to say thanks. It was an awesome feeling.
"To be a part of that kind of team, that hits such a chord with people, I mean, that is why you play."
The bond
When do you see this -- ever? When do you see a baseball team, in this age of money and mercenaries, that brings back just about every player from the year before?
But that's what the Tigers did this winter. They lost one reliever (Jamie Walker) to free agency. They traded for Gary Sheffield and signed Jose Mesa. But other than that, this is exactly the same team that played in the World Series the year before.
Hey, it sure wasn't broke. So why would they fix it -- or even redecorate it?
"I've never been around guys who want to do [extra] because the other 24 are watching them, and who know what it took to get to the World Series last year. We want to make sure that, if all our pieces are back, we don't want to be the reason that it doesn't happen again."
-- Tigers closer Todd Jones
And the men in that clubhouse are totally conscious of who is back, because the 8½ months they spent together last year represent an experience very few humans outside their sphere can relate to.
What they lived through together -- the exhilarating games they won, the memories they made, the magic carpet they rode -- was the ride of a lifetime. It was a giant magnetic force, bonding them to each other for the rest of their lives.
"People always ask what I like about playing," catcher Vance Wilson said. "Well, I love the competition. But more than that, I love being a part of something. It's always special. But last year, to be a part of something like that, man, it was extra special."
When a baseball team gets so tight that the men in uniform hate to leave the ballpark, it's a sign they've enrolled in a whole different chemistry class than most teams these days. But that was the 2006 Tigers, a group that had a tough time telling the difference between the comforts of home and the comforts of the home office.
After home games, they found themselves hanging around the clubhouse sauna -- just to "make fun of each other, laugh about the game, talk seriously about the game," Wilson said. "Our sauna was just that place where we'd kid around and call it a team meeting."
And even on the road, "it's amazing to think back on how many times the bus had to wait because we weren't ready yet," Wilson said, laughing. "We had to delay the bus because guys were eating, talking, drinking beer together, all these things. It was almost like an inconvenience, forcing us out of the clubhouse."
So as that heart-thumping voyage kept going and going, they'll never forget the feeling of not wanting it to end.
"When we lost to the Cardinals," Wilson said, "I remember us all sitting there in the clubhouse. You look around, and you see all these guys, and you're thinking, like, 'Man, I can't believe I've got to go home now.' It's an emotional time. You kind of want to lay on the ground and start crying -- not only because you lost, but because you're fixing to leave your teammates, who have become your best friends."
They were forced out of that clubhouse, too, obviously. But now they're back, staring into the same faces, savoring the rare opportunity to do it again.
Their manager, Jim Leyland, isn't into rearview mirrors. He has told them to stuff the good times into their memory banks and take them off the shelf some other time.
But even as they look ahead, they've been transformed by the season they left behind. So even the same old spring training drills feel different than before.
"That bond is still there," Jones said. "So it's a different kind of preparation, and a different kind of expectation, because you don't want to let your teammates down, let your friends down who you connected with. And those guys don't want to let you down.
"You know, I've been around a lot of guys that will do extra because they're free agents, because they want to get paid. But I've never been around guys who want to do it because the other 24 are watching them, and who know what it took to get to the World Series last year. We want to make sure that, if all our pieces are back, we don't want to be the reason that it doesn't happen again.
"I guess it's because it takes so much from everybody that you can walk around that clubhouse and look at every player that you played with and remember something they did during the playoffs. Or something that they did during the season to get us there. And that just puts a good feeling in it."
So he is savoring that good feeling -- every second of it -- because he knows that other feeling, that old Tigers feeling, all too well.
"I guess when you've got the most to lose," Jones said, "that's when it feels the best when you win."

The LGBTQ Center is delighted to partner with the Office of the Provost to announce the Tagliabue Faculty Research Award for the academic year 2016-2017.
MISSION: The Tagliabue Endowment for LGBTQ Life was established in the Fall of 2012 under the direction of the LGBTQ Center located within the Division of Student Affairs. The endowment set up by Chan & Paul Tagliabue (current Vice-Chair, former Chair, Board of Directors, Georgetown University) is to ensure sustained support and growth for the initiatives of the LGBTQ Center. Part of the vision for this endowment is to enhance and to deepen our understanding and knowledge of LGBTQ issues and histories, and to provide linkages between student experiences and academic life.
We are excited to announce the second year of the faculty research award. We request proposals from faculty who are working on LGBTQ, and gender and sexuality related questions in any discipline to apply for this award. There is ONE award in the amount of $2,000 each academic year. Faculty receiving the award will be asked to work with the LGBTQ Center to present on the project at the end of the year; and also attend a spring ceremony along with others as part of the Tagliabue Initiative celebration.
ELIGIBILITY: All tenured, tenure-track and non-tenure line faculty with multi-year contracts are eligible.
AWARD COMMITTEE: A committee of faculty will meet to consider applications. Accordingly, faculty are required to make their proposals accessible to non-specialists by avoiding the use of technical language and clearly articulating the importance of their work.
PURPOSES: Acceptable use of funds include payment for research materials, support for travel connected with the performance of research, costs for research assistance, and subventions for scholarly manuscripts, if the subvention is a condition for publication and a letter from the publisher is provided. As the research needs of the faculty are various, other research related requests for support will also be considered. Due to resource limitations requests for conference travel cannot be considered.
APPLICATION MATERIALS: The following will comprise the proposal application: the proposal, CV, and budget each should be sent in PDF format.
- A proposal of no more than 1,000 words, not including references cited, in a 12-point legible font, 1-inch margins all around, paginated and outlining in specific and succinct detail the purposes to which the award will be put, e.g., requests for funding a research assistant should indicate the kinds of tasks to be performed. The proposal also should describe briefly how the award will contribute to the applicant's proposed research and how the completion of this work will contribute to the applicant's development as a scholar. (2-page maximum);

(3-page maximum);
- A budget indicating the level of support requested: if support for more than one activity is desired, indicate how much money would be spent on each; if the grant-in-aid will cover only a portion of the research expenses, the applicant should indicate how the remaining portion would be covered. Applicants also should identify an appropriate cost center into which funds for approved applications may be transferred. (1-page maximum). Please be sure there is some justification for expenses included in your budget.
Failure to follow the required formatting and/or word and page limits will render the application ineligible for review.
Once the competition results are announced, the LGBTQ Center will process and confirm the transfer of funds via email with the faculty member and departmental administrative officer.

Inaugural Tagliabue Faculty Research Award: 2015-2016 Recipient
The LGBTQ Resource Center is excited to announce the recipient of the Inaugural Tagliabue Faculty Research Award, Prof. Julia Watts Belser for her proposal:
Queer Disability Justice: The Ethics and Artistry of Intersectional Body Politics
Building upon a conviction that religious ethicists must attend to the lived practices of grassroots activists on the front lines of justice work, my research attends to the embodied practices of LGBTQ disability justice activists—and lifts up these voices as a central foundation for Jewish feminist disability ethics. Disability justice is a broad-based social movement that centers the leadership, activism, and justice priorities of queer disabled people of color, underscoring the political connections between race, poverty, sexuality, gender, and ability. Within disability justice circles, the arts have emerged as a particularly potent avenue for cultural change. Disability justice artists frequently create collaborative visual, literary, and performance art that accentuates both queerness and disability, in order renegotiate the means by which non-normative and dissident bodies claim a public voice. Artists commonly use queer sexuality and aesthetics to accentuate and subvert the violence faced by those whose bodies are marked as gender-variant, racialized, and/or disabled, while also challenging the prevailing grammars of sentimentality and normalization that govern dominant portrayals of disability.
The Tagliabue Faculty Research Award will allow me to examine the pathbreaking work of Cachín Cachán Cachunga! (CCC), a Scottish arts company dedicated to creating high-quality artistic works by and about trans, intersex and queer people, with a particular focus on cultivating the leadership and artistic engagement of minority, ethnic, and racialized artists with disabilities—especially those who identify as refugees, migrants, and working poor. In addition to making disability access a central and constitutive part of their artistic performance, CCC events also tend more broadly to the needs of bodies—from free haircuts, to safer sex supplies, to complementary health care and mental health services. While such practices are rarely framed in terms of access, nor conceptualized as an expression of disability politics, I argue that a disability justice ethics of access rightly recognizes such material practices of bodily care to be intertwined with physical and sensory accessibility. By framing access to clean water and healthy food, access to improved sexual safety and health care, as well as access to barrier-free space and communicative competence as simultaneously necessary modes of accessibility, disability justice organizers refuse to sever disability itself from the concrete, material conditions of queer disabled people's lives.

Scroll to the bottom for the giveaway!
Folks, please give a warm welcome to historical fiction author Marc Secchia. I recently had the pleasure of listening to his book, Aranya: Shapeshifter Dragons Book 1 which follows the dragonish adventures of Aranya and her friends.
If you could give any literary villain a happy ending who would you chose?
Snape – well, he's not so much a villain, but he is a beautifully conflicted character who I found myself rooting for almost despite my instincts. Very well-written indeed.
The public library of your dreams has arrived! What special collections does it hold?
African fiction. I believe this is one of the most underrepresented fields of literary endeavour and I'd love to see powerful African voices taking their place on the world stage.
If you had to choose someone to rescue you from the jaws of certain death would it be a superhero, supernatural creature, or a space alien?
I'd choose a dragon. They are Fantasy's finest and most magical creatures and they'd undoubtedly possess the skills and magic to pull off a crazy rescue.
If you could, what book or movie or TV series would you like to experience for the first time all over again and why?
Definitely The Lord of the Rings. It's the classic fantasy tale of the insidious, corrupting power of evil and the courage of those who choose to stand against it. Peter Jackson did an awesome job of bringing the tale to the big screen, but I still love the rhythm, detail and power of the original text. I'd love to dive into that world afresh because it's just incredibly immersive and every detail is thought out.
What book should be made into a game (card, PC, board, etc.) and why? Is there a specific character who you would want to play in this game?
There are so many terrific books out there that would make amazing movies, it's hard to choose. Let me throw out a classic author's name here – Anne McCaffrey. I think it's a travesty her works have never made it to screen, although some of the mores are a bit dated I think this series would still resonate with so many people, not just Sci-Fi/Fantasy fans. I'd play Robinton, the Master Harper of Pern.
If you could sit down and have tea (or a beer) with 5 fictional characters, who would you invite to the table?
Let's see … Dumbledore since we're having a smallish Potteresque vibe here, Aladdin if he doesn't come in his canned-and-potted Disney guise, since he'd have plenty of fun tales to tell, and it's weird I know but I think Mulan just kicks it in her world and time. Two more (scratches chin) … Killashandra from one of my favourite books of all time, the Crystal Singer omnibus by Anne McCaffrey, and Aragorn from LOTR. Maybe I'd throw in a dragon just to liven things up. Toothless is awesome but not much of a conversationalist. He'd just have to make funny faces.
What do you do when you are not writing?
I live and work in Ethiopia so that's a little different to most. I love to play music – I play a range of woodwinds such as flute, panflute and Irish whistle – and when I've a quiet evening I love nothing more than a relax with an epic book.
What is the first book you remember reading on your own?
Ha ha, it's really boring, but it's one of those "learn-to-read" books about Kathy and Mark I think. After that must come Enid Blyton's Famous Five and then I had a Hardy Boys binge before graduating to older books.
Finally, what upcoming events and works would you like to share with the readers?
Well, I've a sale coming up on 15th/16th August when I'm going to take a run at getting one of my books into the Top 10 free books on all Amazon. If you'd like to sample my work, Aranya will be free on the 15th and it is a bestseller in Coming of Age fantasy. http://smarturl.it/draconic
Secondly, I'm really excited about the release of Dragonstar on August 16th. It's the 4th book in my Dragonfriend series and the culmination of the series. http://smarturl.it/dragonstar
I think you'll love the cover art for this series – do check it out, thanks!
Check out more interviews, spotlights, & reviews on the blog tour.
About Author Marc Secchia:
Marc is a South African-born dragon masquerading as an author, who loves writing about dragons and Africa, preferably both at the same time. He lives and works in Ethiopia with his wife and 4 children, 2 dogs and a variable number of marabou storks that roost on the acacia trees out back. On a good night there are also hyenas patrolling the back fence.
He's the author of 21 fantasy books in 3 languages (2 more languages coming this year – watch this space!), including 8 rip-roaring dragon fantasy bestsellers. Dragonfriend won a Gold Award for Fantasy in the 2016 IPPY Book Awards. Look out for Whisper Alive, his latest release. The 4th tale in the Dragonfriend series, Dragonstar, is coming soon!
When he's not writing about Africa or dragons Marc can be found travelling to remote locations. He thinks there's nothing better than standing on a mountaintop wondering what lies over the next horizon.

Synopsis of Aranya:
Chained to a rock and tossed off a cliff by her boyfriend, Aranya is executed for high treason against the Sylakian Empire. Falling a league into the deadly Cloudlands is not a fate she ever envisaged. But what if she did not die? What if she could spread her wings and fly?
Long ago Dragons ruled the Island-World above the Cloudlands. But their Human slaves cast off the chains of Dragonish tyranny. Humans spread across the Islands in their flying Dragonships, colonizing, building, and warring. Now the all-conquering Sylakians have defeated the last bastion of freedom – the Island-Kingdom of Immadia.
Evil has a new enemy. Aranya, Princess of Immadia. Dragon Shapeshifter.
Series Note
There is a companion series to Aranya, set in the same unique Island-World above the Cloudlands. Aranya is the last of the Dragons – or is she? Find out why the Dragons disappeared in The Pygmy Dragon, now available on Kindle.

Kyle Schwartz, a teacher at Doull Elementary School in Denver, came up with an innovative class activity in a bid to build a connection with her third-graders.
A majority of the students in the school belong to underprivileged families who struggle to make the ends meet. Although she has been an educator for three years, she felt she hadn't built enough trust with her students. Therefore, in order to understand the kids better, she asked them to write down the things they wish their teacher knew about them and share it with her.
"Ninety-two percent of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch," Schwartz told ABC News. "As a new teacher, I struggled to understand the reality of my students' lives and how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn't know about my students."
The students weren't required to put their names on the notes.
Schwartz knew that these children struggle with certain things in their life and that it would make them feel better to share this stuff with her and their classmates.
"I let students determine if they would like to answer anonymously," the teacher added. "I have found that most students are not only willing to include their name, but also enjoy sharing with the class. Even when what my students are sharing is sensitive in nature, most students want their classmates to know."
However, the notes she received by these children at the end of the assignment were truly heartbreaking. Eventually, Schwartz decided to share these notes on her Twitter which created a hashtag #IWishMyTeacherKnew.
"Some notes are heartbreaking like the first #iwishmyteacherknew tweet which read, 'I wish my teacher knew I don't have pencils at home to do my homework.' I care deeply about each and every one of my students and I don't want any of them to have to suffer the consequences of living in poverty, which is my main motivation for teaching," she said.
The campaign has inspired others to follow in Schwartz footsteps. Other teachers began assigning their students with the same activity while others shared their thoughts on social media.

Just like the ubiquitous floppy disk, VHS, and cassette tapes, there's a strong case building that even now music CDs and DVDs are finished. Or are they? In an age where everything can be streamed online and instantly stored in our smartphones and other electronic devices, there's still something so ingenuous about having a hard copy of your favourite band's first concert or album in its original form. With streaming services like Spotify and Pandora offering on-demand music selection, they have almost rendered the need to buy music useless. However, there are still many benefits to buying music CDs and DVDs.
Does it still make sense to buy music CDs and DVDs?
When it comes to price, new CDs can be cheaper than album downloads. And when it comes to longevity, music CDs and DVDs win – hard drives can crash and cloud services can fail. However, as long as you don't scratch your CDs or DVDs, they will work. Everywhere you look, you're also still more likely to find a CD player in your car or home stereo than you would find an iPod dock or connector. Furthermore, the variety of music that is available on CDs and DVDs can't be found online. You might struggle to find early tracks by Def Leppard or B-sides of Prince online that you would easily find on CDs. Lastly, if you're a true audiophile, you'll appreciate the special features that you can find on some CDs and DVDs that won't be available elsewhere. The only problem that comes with buying music CDs and DVDs is wondering where to put them! However, with a, that problem can be solved instantly. Rediscover music CDs, and other music formats online at great prices on eBay. Shop by genre, artist, or even by 'limited time' deals or best sellers to score competitive prices on some of the greatest artists of our time and of yesteryear.

And if you listen to Stauffer he isn't big on Nich either....
Just some things to consider
Stauffer has admitted to watching diddly squat when it comes to prospects saying he's too busy with NHLers. He also has a proven track record of getting his inside info wrong when it comes to the draft (ala Seguin and Murray). I'm not going to put any merit into what he says. Obviously he's gonna hate on the Swede and the Russian. He's pretty much just guessing and hope he gets it right.
On a side note, it was kind of funny today when Bob asked Kyle Woodlief leading questions about how the draft today. He tried to get Woodlief to say that Lindholm wasnt physically mature enough to play in the NHL but it didn't really work.
I thought it was interesting today how the team 1260 had Steve Serdnachy on today and he was talking about how Sweden is leagues ahead of Canadians of Canadians in terms of giving and taking passes. I'd love to see him on bobs show sometime.
