Slow Smoked Brisket: Southside starts with handpicked briskets by their pit master, who rubs their famous barbeque seasoning into the meat and smokes it low and slow for 14-16 hours. (6-8 lbs)
Original Smoked Sausage: A one of a kind, all beef sausage with a natural pork casing. This all beef sausage is seasoned using spices that were available during the era of Southside's creation over 125 years ago. A sausage that has stood the test of time and can proudly stand alone as the main attraction. (5 lbs)
Southside Barbeque Sauce: The age old question in Texas is whether "to sauce or not to sauce". While we believe this legendary barbeque stands on its own, a little sauce on the side often completes the plate. Following a recipe Grandma Bracewell first crafted, the Original Southside Market BBQ Sauce has been a barbeque staple for generations. This zesty, tomato based sauce complements any meat fit for the grill. (32 oz)
Southside Hot Sauce: Using Grandma Bracewell's original recipe, Southside Market Hot Sauce is a fiery, vinegar based sauce you'll want to have handy for spicing up just about everything. (5 oz)

FOR 15 years Banbury resident Steven Berry has woken at 4.30am, three times a week to travel to Oxford for renal dialysis.
The 60-mile round trip to the city's Churchill Hospital meant he was out the door at 5.45am and back home at 2.30pm.
But yesterday his journey was little over five minutes as he became the first patient to use The Horton General Hospital's new dialysis unit.
He and wife Miranda have campaigned for three years for the £100,000 unit to save people in the north of the county tiring journeys to Oxford's Churchill Hospital.
The Kenilworth Way father-of-three left home at 6.45am for four hours of treatment from 7am to 11pm and was back by 11.30am.
The 54-year-old – who was later joined by four other patients yesterday morning – said: "It is better than winning the lottery."
He added: "I am not so tired, I feel a lot better.
"I will be able to do things I could not do before.
"I can get on with my garden and take the dog for a walk."
He said of his wife of 36 years, whose efforts included a 500 signature petition: "I am really proud of her."
Mr Berry suffers from nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disease where blood protein leaks into the urine. Dialysis filters this out.
Mrs Berry, 52, said: "It was absolutely brilliant, it has made such a difference."
Previously, Mr Berry was picked up by volunteer transport for a session from 8am to midday.
But Mrs Berry said: "He had to wait around for transport for all the other patients.
"It could have been anything from over an hour which was causing a lot of stress."
Mrs Berry added: "Before, he was so tired and washed out with waiting and the dialysis.
"You can see the difference in him straight away. He is much happier."
The machines, staffed by two new nurses, are in the hospital's former medical assessment unit, which has moved to Mulberry Ward.
It will initially take 10 patients a day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and this will increase to 21 in six weeks for Monday to Saturday. Most patients need dialysis three days a week.
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust bosses said the unit could expand to meet an expected growth in demand.
Matron for dialysis Allie Thornley said: "I know how much of a difference it makes to the patients to be able to get to and from treatment quickly. We had patients who were able to walk to their treatment rather than spend time travelling to and from the Churchill."
Patients using the new unit will come from Chipping Norton up to Brackley. Bicester patients will continue to go to Oxford.

In about two weeks I start a string of live performances. Every weekend for a few months I will be in nightclubs or concert venues. I usually have to spend a long amount of time each night in the club and often near very loud speakers. I love the music and need to talk to people so I usually don't wear earplugs.
I used to go to Sam Ash in NYC where they have a bin of free disposable earplugs you can grab from when you leave the store. But they were some sort of foam meets Play-Doh and completely muffled everything I heard.
Tinnitus can be a serious aliment and from everything I "hear" there is no reversing hearing damage. In fact, Pete Townsend said the only prescription for Tinnitus are anti-depressants! Yikes! I don't have Tinnitus but certainly some high end bothers me. I also prefer eating in uncrowded restaurants. Surely these are signs I need to start protecting my ears.
These facts led me on a search for comfortable hearing protection. What I found was not only a comfy earplug but an earplug that lets some specific audio to enter the canal. This is great because it allows you to hear the music and conversations but blocks out the loudness.
Alpine MusicSafe Pro is supplied with three different exchangeable acoustic filter sets, that lower sound levels and prevent the user from excessive exposure, whilst keeping the frequency response of the music the same. The white filters offer the lowest level of attenuation i.e. for pubs, bars etc, the silver filters offer a medium attenuation i.e. for Live gigs, Musicians and Clubbers and the gold filters offer a high attenuation i.e. DJs. The filters are totally dependant on your listening enviroment select the filter you need to use carefully to ensure you get the right protection. – enhancedlistening.co.uk
Every now and then I will see someone in a club with toilet paper stuffed in their ears. I think these are a better choice.

Kershaw to start rehab assignment Friday
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw will begin a Minor League rehabilitation assignment Friday night with a start at Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga against Lancaster.
Kershaw, who has been on the disabled list since straining the teres major muscle on the left side of his upper back Opening Night in Australia, came out of a Monday bullpen session fine, manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday.
"He'll be making more than one, for sure," Mattingly said, an indication that Kershaw likely would make another Minor League start next Wednesday before possibly rejoining the Dodgers in Washington on May 5.
Mattingly said Kershaw would likely make 55 to 60 pitches Friday.

Spain Trips
Caught with one foot in the past and the other firmly in the 21st century, Spain conjures up stereotypes and then shatters them all. Flamenco and paella may be the country's defacto symbols, but the first is from Andalucía and the second is from Valencia. The Spanish themselves sometimes refer to 'Las Españas', and it doesn't take long to discover that the notion of 'Spanishness' is more complicated than you might expect.
The country is divided into 17 autonomous communities, each with its own celebrated history, culture and traditions. You won't find flamenco in Barcelona, and the stately Catalan sardana certainly isn't danced on the streets of Seville. This cultural disparity is echoed in other ways. While old Al-Andalus may still linger in the elaborate Moorish palaces of Granada, the pure austerity of Romanesque holds sway in the northern provinces where the Christian Reconquest was born.
The co-existence of apparently opposing values is a peculiarly Spanish gift. More than one writer has remarked that dreamy, idealistic Don Quixote and his earthy pragmatic side-kick Sancho Panza represent two sides of the Spanish psyche; this is, after all, a country in which miracles still happen in one part of town while a hot, new nightclub is being toasted in another. It's partly the Spanish preoccupation with death – and not just in the bullring – that encourages them to live life with such intense energy. And however this energy is expressed, in slick new buildings projects or a rowdy carnival celebration, it's impossible not to be seduced by it.
If you spend any time in Spain, you're almost guaranteed to come across a fiesta. Ranging in spirit from the solemnly religious to the wholly anarchic, local fiestas provide the focus for a range of social, cultural and sporting activity and could turn out to be a highlight of your trip. Whatever the occasion, food and drink will be a focus for the revelry. Nothing characterizes Spain more than its eating and drinking culture. Whether you're halfway through Sunday lunch at 1800 in the evening, or ordering up a plate of octopus sometime after midnight, or snacking on tapas in the street, or watching a businessman down a hefty brandy with his morning coffee, it hits you at some point that the whole of Spanish society more or less revolves around food and drink. Buen provecho!

While located in the Dranesville district, the shelter had an impact on residents of both the Hunter Mill and Sully districts as well.
Board to Recognize Park Volunteer

Pacers get: G Mike Conley, G Marko Jaric
Grizzlies get: G T.J. Ford, G Jamaal Tinsley
This will allow us to save cap space for this season and give us a starting PG in Conley and a possible SG or a tall PG in Jaric. Still our PG position is a little weak.
Gives Memphis 2 PGs and some veterans to their lineup.

A POLICE officer unlawfully Tasered a naked man who threw a pair of underpants at him during a strip search in Wiltshire, a court heard. PC Lee Birch, 31, discharged his weapon into the bare chest of Daniel Dove in a cell at Melksham Police Station.
Birch had arrested Mr Dove earlier that morning, on December 23, 2012, outside Moo Moo nightclub in Trowbridge, Bristol Crown Court heard. Mr Dove was charged with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting PC Birch and a second officer, though the case against him was later dropped.
Birch was then charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and misconduct in a public office, which he denies.
Prosecuting, Robin Shellard told a jury Birch had used the "prohibited weapon" in a way that was not "necessary, lawful or proportionate".
"Mr Dove had been taken to a police station in Melksham, where he was placed in a cell and subjected to a strip search," Mr Shellard said.
"During the course of the strip search, when he was naked, a Taser was used against him by PC Birch. It affected his bodily functions, made him collapse to the ground and curl up in a ball." The court was told Mr Dove had been ejected from Moo Moo nightclub by doormen, who asked Birch and PC David Read to attend at 2am.
Mr Dove allegedly punched Birch during his arrest and repeatedly kneed PC Read in the groin – claims he strenuously denies. The officers, of Wiltshire Police, then took Mr Dove to Melksham Police Station, where he was booked into the custody suite.
A strip search was authorised and began in a police cell, with Birch – who had taken the Taser from his holster and placed it behind his back – and two other officers attending.
"Mr Dove, then having taken his trousers off, takes his socks off and so it is that Mr Dove is in the cell with three officers, wearing nothing but a pair of boxers,"Mr Shellard said.
"Mr Dove kneels down to take his boxers off, therefore being compliant. As he does so, PC Birch moves forward to take the boxer shorts.
"As he does so, and as Mr Dove rises, Mr Dove flicks the boxer shorts at the police officers. They strike PC Birch to the side of the face. PC Birch produces the Taser and without any warning at all, he fires the Taser into the chest of the naked Mr Dove."
The trial continues.

""Monks, what a man wills, what he plans, what he dwells on forms the basis for the continuation of consciousness." -
I have begun to wonder about the role intention plays in maintaining concentration upon a meditation object, in this case the object is the breath. During the practice I find that if I make the intention to keep my attention fixed upon the breath (during each cycle of ana and pana), that without fail, it remains. If however the intention is not made to maintain awareness on the breath, then awareness may continue for some time before dropping off into proliferation of a thought which has arisen.
So for example:
Intention is made during Out breath X to maintain full awareness of In breath Y, then it does so, and this process continues.
Intention is not made during anapana X then awareness may remain during anapana Y but may then drop off with the arising of a thought during anapana Z.
I would really appreciate your thoughts on how this might relate to initial and sustained attention (as factors which when cultivated lead to Jhana)?
Thank you for your responses, in advance.

The Eco-Action Plan follows from the results of your Environmental Audit and sets forth a series of goals and a structured timetable for achieving environmental improvements.
What should the Eco-Action Plan include?
Goals should be achievable and provide realistic targets and deadlines to improve the environmental quality of your school. Wherever possible, quantifiable targets should be set, such as a 10% reduction in electricity consumption from the previous year or a 30% reduction in waste over a period of six months. Start with small actions and don't be too ambitious. Instead, strive to ensure success, increase confidence, and build enthusiasm for further work. It is crucial to determine how you will monitor and evaluate your progress, and this should be integrated into your Eco-Action Plan as well.
As with every element of the Eco-Schools USA process, your Eco-Action Plan should be linked to the curriculum and should involve students as much as possible.
What are the steps to create a successful Eco-Action Plan?
1. Gather results from your Environmental Audit. Pick out topics that you want to tackle, such as energy consumption or cafeteria waste. Decide what kinds of actions you can take to improve your school's performance.
2. Decide how you will measure success in achieving your objectives. For example, if you are tackling energy consumption, set up a system that allows you to measure changes in energy usage over time.
3. Negotiate a time frame for each action item. Is the target action to be achieved in the short, medium or long term?
4. Decide who is to be responsible for each action. Students should take as much responsibility as possible.
5. Include a section for monitoring any financial costs you may incur or save based on your activities.
6. Make your Eco-Action Plan accessible to the whole school community through your website or post it in a visible location, such as the school office or library. For examples of Eco-Action Plans, check out the sample plan included in each Eco-Schools Pathway.
Eco-Schools Tip: If your Environmental Audit has shown that your school needs to set numerous targets, do not feel that you have to tackle them all at once. Prioritize them by dividing them into what is achievable in the short, medium and longer term.

Houston Astros starter Bud Norris has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Baltimore Orioles, fueling speculation that he is on the verge of being dealt.
Norris, 28, is eligible for arbitration at the end of the season; he won't be eligible for free agency until after the 2015 season. He is 6-9 with a 3.93 ERA in 21 starts for the Astros this year.
His possible landing spots include the Pittsburgh Pirates and Orioles:
Don't know if Bud Norris is going to get traded, but he certainly would like to get traded. One Astros person: "Have you seen his quotes?"— Danny Knobler (@DannyKnoblerCBS) July 30, 2013
Many balls in air with #Dbacks. Peavy, Norris appear among options. Mixed signals on Norris. #Pirates, #Orioles also could be in.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 30, 2013
Pirates definitely are discussing Bud Norris acc to source. Whether that manifests in a deal is unclear— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) July 30, 2013
Sources: Bud Norris very likely to be dealt today, and Pittsburgh could be landing spot. Package built around Tyler Glasnow makes sense.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 30, 2013

SALT LAKE CITY -- The majority of the 12,621 in EnergySolutions Arena suddenly morphed into Southern University fans.
An entire nation watched with baited breath. Twitter almost combusted with the thought of the Jaguars pulling off the impossible. No No. 16 seed had ever toppled a No. 1 seed in the history of the NCAA Tournament.
For more than a brief moment Thursday, it seemed as if Salt Lake City would witness history. Southern pulled within a single possession of Gonzaga in the final five minutes three times.
BRACKET CENTRAL:�All of your bracket needs
BRACKET ADVISOR: Check out Gonzaga-Wichita State probabilities�
MORE WEST SUBREGIONAL COVERAGE: From Salt Lake Tribune
Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell wouldn't let it happen.
In a 64-58 survival of the Jaguars, Gonzaga's young backcourt made three gargantuan shots in those three possessions, enabling the Bulldogs to hold Southern at bay once and for all. There was the long 2-pointer from Pangos. Bell followed up with a 3 from the top of the key. Pangos one-upped him with a deep step-back jumper from the corner.
"To think they are only sophomores," Bulldogs coach Mark Few said. "They are only sophomores. They are both clutch. As a coach, you have no problems with the kinds of shots they take. Kevin's a kid that's in the gym 365 days a year, and it paid off tonight."
The old adage of the Big Dance is to survive and advance. Gonzaga defined that against Southern. The Bulldogs usually have a huge advantage in the paint. Against the Jaguars, those big men saw eight of their shots blocked and struggled all night with the notable exception of Kelly Olynyk.
Gonzaga usually holds a definitive advantage on the perimeter. Against Southern, Pangos and Bell found themselves with a big problem dealing with Derick Beltran, who scored 21 points and made a few pro-type shots from the perimeter in an NBA arena.
As a result, the Jaguars became just the fifth No. 16 seed to play a top seed within single digits in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Beltran's 3-pointer with 3 minutes, 46 seconds to play actually tied the game at 56-56. That's when Bell curled off a screen and hit his jumper with little hesitation.
Beltran went to the basket, got fouled and pulled Southern within 59-58, but Pangos responded with his 3 from the corner the next time down. As it turned out, that was the biggest shot of the game. The Jaguars didn't score again.
"This isn't a good feeling at all," Beltran said. "We came here to win a game, and we thought we were going to win this game. We've worked so hard for so long. We came up short, so this is a very bad feeling."
Gonzaga led 34-31 at halftime. After struggling in the first 20 minutes, Olynyk woke up and finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds. The Bulldogs' 7-footer was aggressive going to the basket and carried his team for large stretches in the second half.
Pangos finished with 16 points and five assists. Bell had 11 points, while David Stockton passed for seven assists.
Beltran would prove to be the only Southern player to score in double figures. Malcolm Miller entered the matchup averaging 16 points per game, but he went 3 of 12 from the field on his way to nine points.

Galveston Bay Oyster Reef Restoration Gets Underway
HOUSTON — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has begun construction on two oyster reef restoration projects in Galveston Bay funded by multi-million dollar federal grants to restore hurricane damage. One project is in East Galveston Bay, an area hit hard by Hurricane Ike. The other project is located along the north facing shoreline of Eagle Point near the community of San Leon.
Oysters feed by filtering tiny plants known as phytoplankton from the water. This filter feeding also removes silt and contaminants from the water, making oysters nature's bio-filters. Oyster reefs also provide habitat for numerous bottom dwelling fish and invertebrates which are in turn food for larger game fish. Scientists refer to these various functions of oyster reefs, including providing product for the commercial fishing industry, as "ecosystem services."
The East Bay oyster restoration project aims to restore 20 acres of oyster habitat for the purpose of helping the struggling oyster industry. East Bay lost approximately 80% of its oyster habitat due to sedimentation caused by Hurricane Ike. The area where the reefs are being built was once covered by extensive natural oyster reefs. These reefs were lost due to sedimentation caused by oyster shell mining activities during the 1960's and from Hurricane Ike one year ago. TPWD plans to deposit a layer of reef building materials (called "cultch") onto the area. Once in place, the cultch will attract planktonic oyster larvae. These larvae will settle onto the cultch and grow into adult oysters. The restoration site is included within the area of East Bay that will be closed for two years to commercial oyster harvest from public reefs to give oyster resources in the area time to recover. After 2 years, all public oyster reefs will be reopened to commercial oyster fishing.
The other oyster restoration project, located along Galveston Bay's western shore, will restore 2 acres of oyster reef habitat in 2009. These 2 acres will be divided up into several smaller patches of reef habitat. The purpose of this project is to improve recreational fishing in the area and to provide other ecosystem services attributed to oyster reefs. The reefs will be located near privately owned piers and in waters closed to commercial oyster fishing due to high bacteria counts. The project has enlisted local pier owners to grow baby oysters by hanging mesh bags filled with oyster shells from their piers, a process known as "oyster gardening". Gardened oysters will be deposited on top of the reefs after construction is completed in order to quickly establish an oyster population.
These projects will provide benefits to the ecosystem and to both the recreational and commercial fisheries in Galveston bay. TPWD has partnered with the Galveston Bay Foundation and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on this project and will continue to look for opportunities to continue this type of work in the future.

One of the most fascinating trades of 2013 so far has been the war over Herbalife (HLF).
It's pitted Bill Ackman of Pershing Square and hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson, who both have short positions in the multi-level marketing company, against Third Point's Dan Loeb, who owns 8.2% of the company in a passive long stake, and Robert Chapman of Chapman Capital. Others who are long or rumored to be long are Carl Icahn, George Soros and John Hempton.
Bob Chapman was one of the first to declare publicly that he was long on Jan. 1 in a blog post. On that day he said that 35% of his fund's assets were long Herbalife. He had many sharp criticisms of Ackman at the time. Chapman first started buying Herbalife on Dec. 24 at around $25. It's likely Loeb also bought in that week between Christmas and new year.
Herbalife is now up 30% year-to-date and about 10% today to $44.08. Herbalife is much higher than its post-Ackman attack low of $24. It's also higher than it was the day Ackman shared his 364-slide presentation in December. Therefore, many assume that -- on a day like today -- Ackman is being squeezed out of his $1 billion position.
But the real squeeze hasn't likely started yet.
If you go back and read the transcript of the interview between Ackman and CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC, after Ackman's December presentation, he states that he first started shorting Herbalife seven months ago, which means mid-May, and slowly built it up over time.
A review of Herbalife's stock price over that time shows it in a range of $44 to $53. Most likely, the average price Ackman sold his short was something like the high $40s. In the best case scenario for Ackman, the average price of his short was $52.
Regardless, this means that Ackman's squeeze hasn't really started.
It's possible that many investors sense that and are zeroing in on pushing Herbalife above that number so that Ackman really has to consider covering some of his short, sparking a rally in the stock. If that happens, it could be a bloody move upwards. Remember that the company hasn't started buying back any stock yet. It is not due to report fourth-quarter earnings until Feb. 18, meaning it could start buying back stock after that.
According to some reports, Ackman's main fund returned 12% last year but half of that came from Herbalife gains in December. If that's so, even though Ackman is still up on his short position in Herbalife since inception, he's feeling pain from the 30% move in the stock in the last two weeks.
So this isn't the short squeeze yet. That is likely still to come.

Had a taste at my local Kroger store in Frisco, TX. Wow was I so surprised and bought some. My husband and I cannot find a wine that we can stand and this one made us both fans. Loved the taste and what a great, crisp and bubbly flavor to enjoy over the holidays.
Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato!
Have a special occasion? Pop open a bottle of our new Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato!
Lavish aromas of rose petals and lichee fruit are propelled by tiny bubbles that burst on the palate, releasing the luscious flavors of creamy white peaches and ripe, juicy honeydew melons. With a crisp, refreshing finish, our bubbly is versatile and easy to enjoy—yummy, in fact!—and goes beautifully with fruity desserts, light cheeses, and celebrations big or small. Chill a bottle and add some pizzazz to a picnic or your brunch.
For more information, visit the wine page.
Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato: What's your occasion?
Oooooo - I am SO excited by this and need to go the store to find some *Now!* I've recently fallen in love with Sutter Home Moscato and have always adored sparkling wines -to put them together for me was so nice, Thank You!
Thanks, Teresa! We hope you enjoy our Bubbly Moscato. If you don't see it in your local store, it may not have arrived there yet. Be sure to ask the store manager when it will be coming in!
I love this wine, it was light and wonderful. I purchased one bottle at Sam's Club, but when I went back to buy more, they no longer carried it. I live on the east coast close to the North Carolina/Virginia border. Please steer me to the stores that carry this delicious wine.
Thanks Megan. Merry Christmas to you and the Sutter Home team! I am currently enjoying a glass full of bubbly moscato. Its delicious. Thank you for such an awesome product! YUM!
I just purchased 3 of these at Ralphs. Sutter home has always been my favorite moscato compared to many others ive tried. Is this only for the holidays? Because this is the 1st time ive ever seen it.
Thanks, Teresa, & cheers!
@MKS656 - Thanks for buying Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato! Do not fear - this is not a seasonal wine! Bubbly Moscato is here to stay. Happy Holidays and let us know how you like the wine!
where can I buy bubbly moscato in birmingham, alabama.
Hi Janice - We have a couple of suggestions for you. You can talk to your favorite store's manager and ask them to stock Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato or you can check our Wine Finder: /w_bm.php (right side). Cheers!
My wife LOVES Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato but we have recently been having problems finding it. One of our local stores in Dallas TX said that the supply was limited due to grape production issues. Is there any truth to that or is he just blowing smoke? I may have just bought the last bottle in South Dallas.
Hi Clay! We aren't having any production issues at this time. Our recommendation is to request that the store manager orders more! During the holidays, you should be seeing a lot more Bubbly Moscato out there so maybe that will help. Another option is to order it online through our e-store, where legal: www.onestopwineshop.com/sutterhome Let us know what happens!
Excellent, excellent. I've enjoyed several bottles (with friends of course!)

To ensure the safety of participants and supporters of Prudential RideLondon, the organisers have planned a simulated emergency exercise in collaboration with the emergency services.
A ride will start from Bridge Street on the corner of Parliament Square at 8:30am and follow the Bupa 10K route on closed roads for about half a mile, where the simulation will begin.
This emergency exercise is vital to ensure the safety of all and will be very important for the emergency services, as they practice their emergency procedures, entry and exit from the route, whilst surrounded by cyclists.
In attendance along with London's emergency services will be a film crew, so the exercise can be recorded and assessed in detail after completion. This will aid emergency services and the organisers of Prudential RideLondon, to improve contingency plans for the official event on 3rd & 4th August. The video may also be shown to Prudential RideLondon staff and volunteers during their safety briefings.
Please bring along your friends and family for a cycle ride and make Prudential RideLondon a safe event for all to enjoy!
This is a FREE EVENT and people are welcome just to turn up on the day.
Every cyclist who takes part in the exercise will have a chance to win a free entry into the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100.
To register for early entry into the prize draw email email@example.com [2] or firstname.lastname@example.com [3]

Cuba captain Wilfredo Leon: "We had our chances today, but we didn't seized them. Both teams were equal and the game was close. Considering the whole tournament, I think we played well, but of course I can't be satisfied with the final result."
2011 FIVB Volleyball World LeagueLive Scoring/ResultsFinal Round - Poland July 6-10USA coach Alan Knipe: "I'm happy, that we finally won a match and we finished the tournament with a victory. Today I gave the young players – like (Paul) Lotman and (Russell) Holmes an opportunity to show their skills. Their numbers were good. Overall I was very pleased with the level we showed today. During this whole tournament, where we played three difficult matches, we learned a lot about ourselves. Regarding the organisation of this event, playing in front of such spectators is a great pleasure. For the players it's also an unique opportunity to show their talent and get experience. Polish supporters are very well educated in volleyball."
Cuba coach Orlando Samuels Blackwood: "For us it's the end of a great adventure in this year's World League. After 8 weeks we are going back to our country. We are tired physically and mentally, but happy that we had an opportunity to get experience from such excellent teams as USA, Brazil and Russia. I have a young team and I'm satisfied, that they qualified for the Final Round and played good there. However, the teams that we lost to in Poland are very strong and we still have to work a lot to get to their level."

Fortuna Business Improvement District is launching its annual shop local contest with the entitled 'Shop Fortuna for the Holidays' theme.
The idea is simple and anyone can participate by shopping at Fortuna businesses and submitting their receipts totaling $200. City Hall will have a drop box and appropriate registration form to enter the contest.
Consumers can enter as many times as they would like by simply spending $200 for each new entry. This is a great way to shop locally and support the small businesses in the City of Fortuna who give so generously back to the community throughout the year with donations of money and time.
Last year, the event generated about $60,000 during the 24-day period beginning on the day after Thanksgiving and ending on Dec. 17. There will be three winners that will be drawn on Dec. 18 and notified on Dec. 19, so they may get in some last minute shopping.
Winners of the drawing will receive $200 Fortuna bucks for 1st place, $100 Fortuna bucks for 2nd place, and $50 Fortuna bucks for 3rd place. There are over 150 locally owned businesses where their winnings can be spent.
Fortuna Bucks are always available at Umpqua Bank located at 1360 Main St. Fortuna for purchase. They are redeemable throughout Fortuna for their face value and help to support the community, small businesses, and shopping locally.

FOR NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES OR EVEN CHICAGO, having two local residents being honored by President Barack Obama for their contribution as artists on the same day wouldn't be that unusual. But when two of the honorees harken from a small county like Marin, that is pretty extraordinary.
So are the artistic talents of poet Kay Ryan of Fairfax and "Star Wars" filmmaker George Lucas of San Anselmo.
Both were honored Wednesday at the White House in East Room ceremonies hosted by President Obama.
Ryan, a former U.S. poet laureate, was presented the National Humanities Medal. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet was honored in a class of writers that included author Joan Didion and sportswriter Frank DeFord.
Lucas joined those who received National Medals of the Arts. His class of honorees included playwright Elaine May, musician Herb Alpert and legendary New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint.
They join singers, dancers, poets, producers, artists, writers, playwrights and journalists who have made major contributions to the arts. Isaac Stern, John Updike, Aaron Copland, Johnny Cash, Georgia O'Keefe, Quincy Jones, Bob Hope, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Arthur Miller, Dave Brubeck, Edward Albee, Robert Penn Warren, Joyce Carol Oates, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Al Pacino and Andrew Wyeth are among the honorees.
That's pretty impressive company.
There was speculation in the IJ newsroom that Lucas may show up in his comfortable blue jeans. But he dressed for the occasion, even donning a sharp purple tie with his dark suit.
While our nation and world have been entertained, touched and inspired by the talents of Lucas and Ryan, Marin is fortunate that they have made important contributions close to home.
Ryan taught English at College of Marin for three decades. It's not every day that community college students can learn about language and poetry from a Pulitzer Prize winner.
She won a Pulitzer in 2011 for her collection, "The Best of It: New and Selected Poems."
Lucas built a local economy in Marin. Setting up shop in Marin instead of Hollywood, Lucas started a movie-making empire that not only included the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" series, but led the way for transformational advancements in special effects. His Industrial Light & Magic division set a new standard for special effects and use of digital technology. His success drew talented artists to Marin, many of whom made their homes here and still work in the industry.
Most recently, Lucas also donated property in San Anselmo for a downtown park, complete with bronze statues of Yoda and Indiana Jones.
Marin is fortunate that both have chosen to be part of the community.
Our county has a long history of playing host to talented artists. We are fortunate Lucas and Ryan decided to be part of our community.

I first heard about Jennette's blog when I featured her in a story about Blogging on a Diet for BlogHer.com. Now Jennette has written a fascinating memoir about her transformation from fat girl to very svelte half-marathon runner. If you're a regular Kalyn's Kitchen reader you might realize this is the first time I've ever written an entire post about a book. In fact, when PR people offer to send me books "to review," I'm quick to tell them that I don't do book reviews. But there's a special story about why it's so exciting and appropriate for me to be the first blogger to write about Jennette's book.
Somewhere along the way I think I left a comment on the blog saying I'd mentioned Half of Me to a book editor and Jennette contacted me. We somehow missed each other at last summer's BlogHer Conference, but this year Jennette is a speaker, and I'll be in the front row beaming like a proud parent. I've just started reading the book, and already I'm completely drawn into the whimsical and poignant way Jennette tells the story of how she went from unhappy fat girl to PastaQueen, the blogger who has helped so many people with her inspiring story.
More bloggers will be talking about this book, as I'm kicking off a cyber book tour, so check Half of Me to see where the tour goes next. And I may be just a teeeny bit prejudiced, but of course, I think you should go to straight to Half of Me, click on Jennette's Amazon.com link, and buy this book immediately.
(Then come back here tomorrow when we'll get back to the food!)
(Edit!) See Jennette on the Today Show:
Jennette was on the weekend Today Show on May 11. Check it out by using the link at Half of Me!

'"The Sabres are running off the same exact budget and projections and assumptions they put together before all of this happened. . . . This club will run into the season whether or not new ownership is in place by September or October or November. This club will run as its fans expect it to."'
Archives for July 2002
Bettman fails to understand fans' feelings
'Bettman should stop acting as if the NHL is doing Buffalo some kind of favor by having a team here. The fact is, he needs you as much as you need his league.'
Bandits stay in business, will be operated by NHL
'The NHL's decision to adopt the Bandits makes sound economic sense since many of the Sabres' sponsorship deals include both the hockey and lacrosse teams. "The hockey team has the rights to run the building, and the hockey team owns the Bandits," Bettman said. "So that package is there."'
Bettman Issues Challenge to Buffalo Sabres Fans
'National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman said, "This is about saying hey, Buffalo we know you love the Sabres, we really need your help in demonstrating it."'
Five Groups Interested in Buying Sabres, Bettman Says
'Bettman didn't identify potential ownership groups. He said the Sabres would remain in Buffalo, where they began as an expansion team in 1970. "We're not talking to anybody who doesn't want to keep the team in Buffalo," said Bettman, adding that there's no timetable for the sale to be completed.'
Sabres, Defenseman James Patrick Agree to Two-Year Contract
'Patrick, a 19-year National Hockey League veteran, had five goals and eight assists in 56 games last season. He is one of 14 NHL defensemen to play in 1,000 games and score 600 points.'
Patrick re-signs with Sabres
'Terms were not announced but he'll likely receive close to the $600,000 a year he made last season.'
Sabres agree to terms with D Patrick
'"Despite having opportunities elsewhere, we are very proud that James has chosen to remain with the Buffalo Sabres and stay in our community," Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said. "James has proven to be an important contributor to our hockey team over the past four seasons. He has provided us with depth and veteran leadership and will be a valuable presence to our younger players."'
Five groups interested in keeping Sabres in Buffalo
'Five groups are interested in buying the NHL's Sabres and keeping them in Buffalo, commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday, a day after the team's outgoing owner was arrested on fraud charges. Bettman, who did not identify the potential ownership groups, said it was "purely a coincidence" that he was in Buffalo 24 hours after John Rigas and two sons were arrested in connection with the financial meltdown of Adelphia Communications.'
NHL chief pushes ticket sales here
'League and team officials have suggested that fans buying season tickets can help strengthen Buffalo's hold on the Sabres in two ways: by helping the team's bottom line and by sending a strong signal to potential investors that the region can support an NHL team.'

Heed These 6 Job Interview Etiquette Tips

6 Ways to Answer Interview Questions Properly
By Bob McIntosh,
Career Trainer
My kids have a knack for answering my questions with concise, factual answers like "I don't know" or "I guess so" or "nothing happened." They're young people, so I don't expect enlightening answers that open doors to stimulating conversations. On the other hand, I would like to know what happened at school, if they had a good time at the mall, how they feel about their teachers, etc.

The thing about recruiters and employers is that they want direct answers to their questions, not a long-winded response that has very little to do with the question at hand. In order to make the
go smoothly, adhere to the following 6 requirements:
1. Listen to the questions:
Some people have the tendency to formulate what they're going to say before the interviewer finishes with his question. This causes you to take off in a direction that is heading the wrong way and is hard to correct. If you need clarification, ask what the interviewer meant by his question…just don't do this too often, lest you come across as daft.
2. Think before speaking:
All too often we want to answer a question as soon as it's left the employer's lips. This is a mistake, as you want to deliver of the best possible answer before you blurt out an inadequate one. The interview is not a game where the fastest job candidates to respond win. Occasionally taking time to reflect shows thoughtfulness on your part. It also speaks to requirement number one: listen.
3. Don't say too much:
When you're talking with a recruiter, elaborating on an answer may be more harmful than helpful. Recruiter Mark Bregman says in his article
Don't be De-Selected
this about being loquacious:
"You risk boring the screener, or worse, they don't ask all their questions, because you wasted too much time on early questions. Then, the screener might not have an opportunity to really get the key info they need to screen you in."
When you go into too much detail, you come off as someone who
talks too much
. For me, and I imagine others, this is a great irritant and makes me want to walk away from an interview.
4. Don't go off on tangents:
Everything you say must be relevant to the interviewer's direct question. "If the question is 'How did you improve processes?', don't start describing in detail the products you were making; just answer the question," advises Mark. This is also a sign that you have no idea how to answer the question. In this case, ask for more time saying, "This is a very important question, one that I'd like to answer. Could we return to it?" Or admit that you can't answer it.
5. Don't ask too many questions:
Career advisors encourage interviewees to ask questions during the interview to make it seem more like a discussion, as long as you have enough questions to ask at the end. Mark says this can backfire if you ask too many questions. I see his point. Interviewers are busy people and don't want you to take over the interview.
6. Say enough:
Finally it's essential that you effectively answer the interviewers questions with enough detail and plenty of examples of your successes. Many times a job candidate won't provide enough information for the interviewer to make a decision on whether to hire that person. You don't want to let opportunities to pass you by. Many jobseekers I talk with regret having not sold themselves at the interview, which was due, in part, to not elaborating on an answer they knew they could have nailed.
Effective communications at an interview requires the ability to listen and then answer the questions with transparency and accuracy. Don't let the moment lose your cool. Take time, respond with accomplishments, and most importantly just answer the questions.

Topic: another newbie
Hi everyone, thank you for letting me post here. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks. just upfront, i tend not to capitalize when i post online - please bear with my laziness
Dad (62) was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic adenoCA (mets to liver, lung) 11/16/11. he was seen by dr. javle within 2 weeks of diagnosis and started on chemo. he's just completed cycle 4 of FOLFIRINOX and has done amazingly well.
when i say amazing, i mean it. his recent scan shows shrinkage or stability of all lung mets/mediastinal nodes, shrinkage of all liver tumors and clearing of nodes, and disappearance (!!!!!) of the rather large pancreatic tumor. the tumor is gone. dr. javle said he'd never seen anything like this, and that he'd had the radiologist read it multiple times. his official diagnosis is now listed as CCA. so here we are.....
he met with dr. vauthey this morning. at this time, he's got too much liver involvement for surgery to be an option, but they aren't discounting it for down the road if he continues to respond like a champ to chemo. they don't plan to alter his chemo regimen at all, even though this protocol isn't traditionally used for CCA. i'm actually upset that they were put through a surgical consult, knowing how much of the liver is involved, but i guess they are covering all their bases.
i'm a medical speech pathologist who has worked with a LOT of people with cancer and my husband is a physician, so we're very comfortable throwing around words like FOLFIRINOX and ANC and metastasis and whathaveyou. what i'm NOT comfortable with is that my dad has cancer. i'm more comfortable with his odds now than i was when the diagnosis was pancreatic primary, but still. it's so much harder when it's my dad as opposed to a patient i like.
sigh. i am happy to have found y'all. sorry to have, but glad. you get it.....

Offering access to some of Europe's best ski spots, Chambery is the ideal choice if you're looking to hit the slopes. Choose from a mixture of traditional and modern ski resorts, such as the world-famous Val d'Isere. You're sure to find one to suit your tastes with gorgeous views offered by the French Alps.
From Chambery, you'll be able to find ski slopes that cater for everyone, from beginners to experts. Get ready to practice your balance and take on the challenges of the Espace Killy, 3 Valleys and Paradiski. The 3 Valleys has more than 600km of pistes and a variety of ski terrain, and ski facilities for all skill levels also make it a favourite with families. For a stylish and exclusive ski holiday, you could visit one of Europe's favourite resorts – Val d'Isere or Tignes. Snowboarders will also enjoy paying a visit to some of the region's many snow parks, including Tignes, where you'll find everything from half-pipes to jibs and rails. Relax in a thermal bath in the spa town of Aix les Bains, or take a trip to the stunning Lake Annecy and its medieval township to get away from the slopes.
From 17 December 2016, British Airways will add London Stansted to Chambery to our wide range of routes. You can fly on Saturday or Sunday and up to 16 April 2017.
From 10 December 2016, British Airways will start flying again from London City to Chambery. The flights operate most days up to 15 April 2017.
The 3 Valleys – the largest ski area in the world – is a great area for beginners because it has six superb resorts to choose from. Meribel, also known for its laid-back atmosphere and après ski scene, has plenty of sloping green and blue runs. The resort of Courchevel has ideal conditions for beginners, with world-renowned ski schools (like ESF) and well-placed rest stops on the mountain. Or try La Tania, in between the two for easy access to green pistes and quieter slopes – perfect for those new to skiing and snowboarding.
Outside of the 3 Valleys, the great resorts of Les Arcs (five different areas) are part of the Paradiski system. You will find the mountains bursting with blues and reds, with the chance to do some more difficult black runs too. In fact, over 50% of the pistes are ideal for intermediate or advanced skiers. The Espace Killy, where you can find superb Val d'Isere and Tigne is perfect with plenty of pistes for intermediates, and also some fairly easy jumps for those looking to test their skills.
Between the two huge areas of 3 Valleys and Paradiski, there is some fantastic advanced skiing – with plenty of black runs and off-piste to test your mettle. Val Thorens in the 3 Valleys is well-known for great off piste and difficult moguls, as well as being the highest resort in Europe. Val d'Isere and Tignes, because of their fruitful history with snowboarding have some of the best snowparks in France – with halfpipes and jib (rails) sections in the parks. You will also find great black runs and off-piste.
Chambery is near to some superb child-friendly resorts – Meribel, Courchevel and Les Menuires in the 3 Valleys have all got great kids clubs. If you venture over to Tignes, they have a few clubs and creches available for kids who can already ski, and ski schools for those who can't. Adults can then go off on their own or head to the spa. Les Arcs 1600 is ideal for families because it is uncrowded and car-free, with easy greens for the kids and blue runs for the adults.
Depending on where you are staying, the area around Chambery has some of the best après ski in Europe. Courchevel, Meribel-Motteret and Val Thorens have laid-back bars and restaurants, with Meribel catering to a younger crowd, especially in the centre of town. Tignes has brilliant bars offering cheap(ish) beers and a lot of dancing on the tables – or quieter options for the more reserved crowd. Les Arcs 1800 has some great pubs, and with piste to door skiing you can't lose. Just be sure to drink responsibly.

Following in the footsteps of countless married men before him, President Barack Obama has apologized for calling another woman good looking, after he complimented California Attorney General Kamala Harris on her looks at a Silicon Valley fundraiser.
The White House said Friday that Obama told Harris he was sorry for the distraction he created after newspapers and television stations around the nation ran the story through the national media cycle following the president's comments at a private lunch event in Atherton.
Good-lookinggate brought worldwide attention to the exclusive Peninsula town and re-ignited the age-old debate about gender equality, an issue that boosted Obama's campaign last year after Republican opponent Mitt Romney's infamous "binders full of women" gaffe. This time, it was the president taking heat from some talk shows and bloggers -- mostly conservatives -- who called the Harris comment sexist. Vanity Fair headlined its Web post: "Sexual Harris-ment?" Still, others were left wondering what the big deal was.
At the Thursday afternoon outdoor fundraiser, the president introduced Harris at the start of his speech, calling her dedicated, tough, and "exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law."
"She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country," he said. After applause and laughter, he said: "It's true! Come on." And after some more laughs, he said: "And she is a great friend and has just been a great supporter for many, many years."
Harris was in the front and her reaction wasn't visible, though the crowd of 250 supporters who paid up to $20,000 for the event generally received the remark as a good-natured joke, and, besides, the feeling may be mutual. Harris' official campaign in 2009 posted to YouTube a video in which Harris recalls meeting Obama in Los Angeles after his election: "He looks and he sounds like a million bucks," a smiling Harris said, to great applause.
Still, on Friday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Obama called Harris after landing in Washington on Thursday night to apologize for the distraction.
"They are old friends, and good friends, and he did not want in any way to diminish the attorney general's professional accomplishments and her capabilities," Carney said, reiterating that Obama believes women "should not be judged based on appearance."
Harris, who is 48, lives in San Francisco and is not married, is the former district attorney of San Francisco who began her career as an Alameda County prosecutor. She has not given interviews since Thursday's fundraiser but her office provided a statement on Friday.
"The attorney general and the president have been friends for many years," the statement said. "They had a great conversation yesterday and she strongly supports him."
Aside from the right-wing commenters who used the opportunity to pounce on Obama, there were others who saw the comments as demeaning to women. And conspiracy theorists were abuzz after first lady Michelle Obama, in an interview with a Vermont TV station Thursday, said: "as a busy single mother," before she immediately corrected herself, saying, "sometimes when you've got the husband who's president it can feel a little single, but he's there."
Still, New York Magazine on Friday posted several quotes on its website showing how Obama has also called several men "good looking."
"Women know that this president has delivered on issues that are fundamental to them -- like equal pay, like access to health (care) and the ability to have meaningful health care," Harris told an Indian television station in November while campaigning for Obama.
Obama and Harris were photographed laughing and walking together at San Francisco International Airport in February 2011, when the attorney general greeted the president upon his arrival for a conference with Silicon Valley tech leaders.
Harris, an Oakland native, also helped Obama with his 2008 campaign for president and spoke on his behalf at a San Jose event that year. Then Obama attended an Atherton fundraiser in 2010 to help raise money for Harris' run for attorney general.
After Harris won her June 2010 primary, Obama called to congratulate Harris, who Time magazine and others have referred to as the "female Barack Obama." Obama last year nominated Harris' brother-in-law, Tony West, as associate attorney general.
