Former Cougars winger Jason Lee will make an emotional return to Cougar Park on Sunday as Bradford Dudley Hill seek to write themselves into Challenge Cup folklore.
The Dudley Hill coach spent four years with Cougars between 1998 and 2001, a period he cites as the happiest time of his career.
Now the Welshman is returning in a bid to guide Hill to a momentous upset as they aim to reach Monday's fourth-round draw, when Super League clubs enter the famous competition.
Lee, who played for Dudley Hill and Warrington before joining Cougars in 1998, said: "I had four years at Cougars and I was pretty lucky in that I played in a really good, winning team.
"I remember speaking to the BBC when I retired and saying they were the best years of my playing career.
"The fans, the coaches, the lads I played with, I've got nothing but the highest regard for Keighley as a club.
"I loved it there. In 1999 we got to the semi-final of the first Northern Ford Premiership, when we lost to Dewsbury.
"I was lucky enough to make the team of the year for three years in a row. It was a really good time in my life but the one regret I had when I left was the money situation."
Cougars went into administration in the mid-1990s and again in 2001.
Lee added: "I stuck with them once during financial difficulties but it was hard to do it twice, although I enjoy going back there. I went back with Doncaster and it was quite difficult.
"I made a lot of friends with the supporters and Cougars is always the first result I look for on a Sunday.
"Barry Eaton did a great job and Jason Demetriou is doing some very good things there now too."
Lee says Dudley Hill are in a "win-win situation" ahead of Sunday's game after the tie was switched from their Parry Lane home to Cougar Park.
"As a club we spoke and felt that we should go to Cougar Park," he explained.
"As much as we maybe could have gone to Odsal, it can be a pretty empty place with maybe 500 people there.
"Going to Cougar Park will make for a better atmosphere and hopefully we can get around 1,000 people there, maybe even 1,500."
Hill beat Leigh East in the previous round and boast some talented young players, including prop Kyle Bateman – elder brother of Bulls star John Bateman.
"It's all about my players now, I've had my time," added Lee. "We're taking five players who are 19 or under and it promises to be a fantastic experience."
Lee is expecting a stern test from Demetriou's star-studded side, adding: "It helps when you can call on your mates to sign for the club but that will only get you so far.
"They still have to go out and perform and Jason has got them playing some great stuff, as was showed by their promotion last season.
"I wish them every success – except for this weekend, of course. I'm sure Jason will rest a few of his men but rugby league is a funny game and we're going there to give a good account of ourselves."
Demetriou said: "We are loooking forward to the challenge. They're a strong amateur club that have beaten Cougars in the cup before.
"I'm looking for us to show how we have progressed as a club and put in a very professional performance.
"We are buzzing after the win at Batley as it was the first time Cougars have beaten Batley at Mount Pleasant since 1993 and we want to continue our progression as a team."
Demetriou added: "I will rotate the squad slightly and anyone with any slight injuries will not be risked.
"Chris Clough, Gavin Duffy and Jamie Shepherd are possible inclusions.
"We will play a very strong squad as we do not want to disrespect our opponents or the Challenge Cup competition."

OAKLAND -- The Warriors enter the jaws of the season with concerns aplenty, from Steph Curry's troubling turnover trend to Andrew Bogut's spotty availability to the maddening inconsistencies of young guns Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes.
All valid issues, yes, but none will more accurately dictate the team's direction than the contributions of David Lee.
The Warriors have shown they can win games with Curry playing poorly and lose them with him playing well, shown they can win without Bogut and lose with him. They have demonstrated they can survive vast swings in production from Thompson and Barnes, and occasional low-impact efforts from bench leaders Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry.
But they can't summon a furious finish -- much less pose a threat to the NBA's established elite -- unless Lee is the All-Star he was the first two months of the season.
"I think I've gotten back to it these last couple games," Lee said after practice Thursday. "Everybody is going to have that during the year when they hit a little dip. I was still rebounding the ball well, but I didn't have the lift on my shot."
Lee was referring mostly to the bruised shoulder that bothered him in late February and into March, shortening his shot, perhaps stealing some of his enthusiasm and surely putting a kink in the Warriors' rhythm and tenacity.
The tender shoulder, which still is discolored, merely dropped Lee's game to a level lower than it had fallen. He has not over the past two months been the player who in early January immodestly proclaimed himself "the best power forward in the league."
It was a jaw-dropping statement at the time, insofar as the NBA still has among its power forwards such talents as Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Zach Randolph and Kevin Love. And a man named Blake Griffin, with whom Lee has a burgeoning rivalry.
But Lee was serious. Moreover, and to his credit, he had played well enough to flip his name into the discussion.
Lee's typically flashy numbers now were as essential to the Warriors' cause as to his fantasy league owners. He greatly assisted rookie Festus Ezeli in plugging some of the interior hole left by the absence of Bogut, while providing much of the offense missing as Curry and Thompson struggled with their jump shots. David "No D" Lee even played some respectable defense.
During the first two months of the season, as the Warriors were authenticating themselves, Lee made a profound and ultimately successful case to become an All-Star.
Through most of January and February and into March, however, he was Just Another Power Forward. He jumper became unreliable and he missed a lot of layups, causing his field-goal percentage to fall from a phenomenal 55 percent to a pedestrian 48 percent. His turnovers increased. His defense got sloppier.
If that David Lee shows up over the last 20 games, the Warriors will need superlative efforts from most everyone else to maintain their playoff position.
If the other guy shows up, the productive and efficient All-Star, the one who this week seemed revivified in wins over Toronto and Sacramento, the Warriors could reach the 50-win mark for the first time since 1994.
To speak on his behalf, Lee rolled up his left sleeve, pointed to his shoulder and nodded his head, pronouncing himself "pretty much healed."
Even so, Lee conceded the grind of the season has taken a toll. Ranking among the league leaders in minutes and generally playing with high energy has him seeking treatment more often than he did in November and December.
That can't matter now, not when the marathon NBA season is reduced to a sprint to the finish, where teams that matter leave behind those that don't.
"I'm (still) pretty sore, but for me it's a no-excuse situation," Lee said. "I have wanted to be in this position for a long time. I've been through a lot of years where these games don't matter. And now they matter, and I'm going to have a blast doing it."
It's practically impossible for the Warriors to gag away their trip to the playoffs, especially with the Utah Jazz playing as if it is ready to surrender its lower-tier playoff spot.
But the Warriors can't look at it that way. Not when they're finding it so difficult to put away some of the worst teams in the league. Not when coming to the arena to play meaningful games in March and April represent a new experience.
"We've been miles ahead of where everyone thought we'd be, but we're not quite a championship-level team right now," Lee said. "But we're a team that can make the playoffs and surprise somebody by winning some playoff games."
Whether the Warriors do or not depends on a number of factors, none more important than which David Lee takes the court in the coming weeks.

Study Comparing Two Alternatives of Antiretroviral Therapy as Post-exposure Prophylaxis to HIV-1:FOVIR+EMTRICITABINA + LOPINAVIR/RITONAVIR VS TENOFOVIR+EMTRICITABINA + MARAVIROC (MARAVI-PEP)

As a measure of secondary prophylaxis, and with the final objective of avoiding the infection, it has been suggested to use antiretroviral therapy. This is known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Although there are different recommendations, almost every guideline recommend using 3 drugs as PEP both in USA and Europe.
Toxicity is one of the main limitations of PEP. Side effects during PEP are very usual, are attributed mainly to PI and are the main reasons for poor adherence or lost of follow-up.
A current standard regimen is AZT+3TC (Combivir®) or tenofovir+emtricitabine (Truvada®) plus the PI lopinavir/r. Toxicity associated with this regimens are high (31-85% of cases), with a 10-35% interruption of PEP Maraviroc, a CCR5 receptor antagonist, very well tolerated, coul be an adequate drug for PEP.

- Proportion of patients reaching 28 days of postexposure prophylaxis. [ Time Frame: 28 days ]Postexposure prophylaxis has to be used during 28 days to have effectiveness. It is thought that a shorter period of treatment does not prevent HIV infection according to animal models. Therefore, we will assess the proportion of patients who complete the total period of treatment in each arm of the study. The hypothesis is that a higher proportion of patients who take the medication with lower side effects will complete the 28 days of postexposure prophylaxis

Ali Sweeney's 10-Minute Body Slimmer
This 50-year-old weight-loss juggernaut tops every nutritionist's list. Although the plan's been tweaked in recent years, the basic concept remains. Because you count points instead of calories, the math is simple, and no food is strictly off-limits. "Weight Watchers is based on sound nutrition science and a balanced diet," says registered dietitian Janet Bond Brill, Ph.D. The point formula relies on ratios of protein, carbs, fat, and fiber in foods, so empty-calorie junk racks up more points than super-nutritious fare, training you to make smarter, more filling choices. Plus, access to supportive communities, simple recipes, and a mobile app makes the program easy to follow. "Those of my patients who've been on Weight Watchers have very good foundations—they know the principles of healthy weight loss, portion sizes, and how to maintain," says registered dietitian Therese Franzese, M.S..
If it works for Eva Mendes, we're interested. Created in 2003 by cardiologist Arthur Agatston, the premise of this plan is to limit carbs in favor of foods higher in protein and fat. "I like South Beach because it treats meal composition and macronutrient ratios—meaning the balance of fat, protein, and carbs—as the key to weight loss," says nutrition expert JJ Virgin. The plan is broken down into three phases: The first two weeks are the most restrictive, cutting out all starches, sugary foods, and alcohol. The second phase adds in whole grains, fruits, and more vegetables, and focuses on healthy snacking so you can nip crazy-making hunger in the bud. Once you hit your weight-loss goal, the final maintenance phase draws on the smarter-eating strategies you've picked up along the way.

In the year 1939, before the outbreak of World War II, it had a population of 6000, 3200 of whom were Jews. The Jews were the dynamic element in the town's economic and cultural life, and like most of the towns in Galicia and Ukraina, it was a Jewish town in the full meaning of the word.
The first Jews settled in Podhajce as far back as the beginning of the 16th Century, and towards the middle of the 16th Century a regular Jewish community was already in existence. In the years 1580 to 1620, a great Rabbi, named Benjamin Aharon Solnik, who took up residence in Podhajce became famous in the Jewish world because of his essay Benjamins's Mess which is a collection of questions and answers in matters concerned with Halacha (the synagogue of those originating from Podhajce in New York is called Benjamin's Mess, after the name of the book by this Rabbi).
|Podhajder Synagogue Mas'sat Benjamin
(Benjamin's Mess) in New York
|Podhajcer Synagogue in New York
- the Holy Ark
Also after Rabbi Benjamin A. Solnik, great Rabbis who made the town's name famous in all the Diaspora, took up residence in Podhajce.
Towards the end of the 17th Century, 1667-1699, the Jews of Podhajce suffered from the invasion of the Turks and the Tatars, and together with their Polish neighbours they defended the town against the enemy. Jan Sobieski, the famous Polish King, repulsed the Turks from Podhajce in 1667, and in memory . of this event, an impressive monument was erected in the town (see photo on page 43).
The great suffering that was caused to Podhajce and the neighbouring towns during the period of the Turkish invasion, perhaps caused many to believe that redemption is round the corner and to join those believers in the false Messias Shabtai Zvi, 1626-1676. Also in the Frankish movement in the year 1750-1760, many of the Podhajce Jews participated, and some of them even went over to Christianity in 1759 together with Jacob Frank.
Upon the division of Poland in 1772, all Galicia passed to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. With the outbreak of World War I, in 1914, the Austrian rule in Eastern Galicia came to an end. During the years of the first World War the whole region was controlled by the Russian Army, and at the end of the war upon the establishment of the Polish State, In1918, all Galicia passed to the Poles.
[English page 4]
In 1939, the World War II broke out with the invasion of the German Hitlerite Army into Poland. During the first years of the war, up to June 1941, the Russians, who occupied Poland's border areas according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement, ruled the town.
However immediately upon the outbreak of the war between Germany and Russia, the Russians were compelled to withdraw and the German army occupied the whole of Galicia and continued to advance eastwards within the Russian Ukraine.
In the first year of their rule, the Nazis confined themselves to the oppression of the Jews and depriving them of their fundamental rights of free movement, the purchase of requirements etc. Also various contributions which were collected by cruel means were imposed and many of the men were recruited to compulsory work in labour camps which were set up in the area. The labour camps were, in effect, death camps, where the Jews did hard labour and there was a shortage of food, and for the slightest offence, the offenders were shot dead.
The first operation in Podhajce was in 1942 on Yom Kippur. The Gestapo, helped by the Ukrainian Police, surrounded the city, took about 1000 men and women out of their houses and took them to the railway station. There the people were placed in great congestion into railway trucks and were sent to the Belsetz Destruction Camp. Only a few people succeeded jumping out of the truck whilst the train was in motion, and then returned to Podhajce.
After the first operation, a Ghetto was set up in a small part of the town and all the Jews were ordered to go into the Ghetto within 24 hours. Congestion in the Ghetto was very great, and consequently, typhus broke out. The Germans made surprise raids in the Ghetto from time to time and whoever was ill was shot dead. They could leave the Ghetto for one hour a day only to buy food from the neighbouring farmers and whoever was found coming back after time was mercilessly beaten up by the Ukrainian Militia who were guarding the entrance to the Ghetto.
The second operation was made a short time after the first. This time too, the victims were sent to the destruction camp, in the same way as in the first action.
During the whole winter period, there were no further operations. With the coming of the spring at Pesach time, rumours circulated that the town would be proclaimed as Judenrein (Jew free) and no Jew was permitted to remain in it. And indeed the Germans, some weeks later, announced that all Jews who remained in town must present themselves in the market square. Whoever could find hiding, hid and did not come to the market square. However only a few could find a safe hideout and the great majority of the Jews were concentrated in the market square from whence they were brought to Holendra.There they were ordered to dig the big grave -a mass grave - and all of them were shot dead near the hole into which they fell. Many of them fell into the grave while they were still alive, after they were either seriously injured or not injured at all. More then 1300 Jews were killed and buried that day.
The third operation - the operation of annihilation of Podhajce Jews took place three days before Shavout, on the third day of the month of Sivan. On this date the organisation of Podhajce immigrants in Israel arrange for a yearly memorial Service in memory of the holy victims.
After this action about 800 Jews still remained. Three days later they were ordered to gather at the market place, whence they would be sent to the Ghetto of Tarnopol. But as they came to Zahajce they were ordered to dig a mass grave and all of them were shot dead and buried there.
[English page 5]
At the end of World War II, only some dozens out of the Jewish population of Podhajce and the surroundings - at one time numbering 4000 people - remained. The majority of the rescued came to Israel, part of them arrived in the United States and only a few isolated ones remained in Poland.
The association of Podhajce immigrants in Israel participated in some drives which were made to eternalise the Holy of the city, such as the planting of trees in the Forest of Holy Victims on the way to Jerusalem, and the setting up of a memorial tablet in the Holocaust Cellar on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
At the same time it was the ambition of the association throughout the years of its existence to issue a Book of Memoires to eternalise the memory of the town and its Jewish inhabitants, and it is only now that we succeeded in materialising our subject.
In this Memorial Book many of those who originate from our town, participated writing on the following subjects:
Rabbi Wolf Firestone-Brecher of New York- The Rabbis of Podhajce in all generations; Dr. Baruch Milch - Characters from the Near Past;
Yehudit Hadar - The Hebrew School in Podhajce, the First Kindergarten in Our Town, easts in Our Town.
Yehuda Grüssgott - Synagogues, Cheders and Teachers; the Kadima Student'n Union; Memories of Meier Mass, the Hero of the Town;
Etty Gross - The Hebrew School; Characters from Podhajce; Memories on the Residents of Stare Miasto.
Dr. Michael Weichert - Impressions and Memories from Podhajce; Baruch Schatten- Ha-Noar-Hazioni movement (the Zionist youth); M. Brandwein - Hashomer-Hazair movement.
Chaja Reich and Devorah Shapira - Life of Jews in Zlotnik; Dr. Heller - Various memories; Dr. Pomeranz - Various memories.
Apart from the above mentioned memories, historical articles were written by the Editor, M.S. Geshuri, and Mr. Nachman Blumenthal and two historical monographies from Dr. Herman Adler and Chaim Virshovski were copied.
Memories from the War Period and Destruction were written by Nachum Pushteig; Henia Shourz, Genia Shourz, Dr. Baruch Milch, Shoshana Feigenbaum, Shlomo Teicher, Ada Weiss, Sima Weissman, Joseph Kressel, Sara Rotstein-Drori and Leah Feldberg.

Even hobbled, Revere contending for batting title
SAN FRANCISCO -- Based on the grimaces on his face, Phillies center fielder Ben Revere is playing with plenty of pain these days.
His surgically repaired right ankle is causing him fits.
"I've been this far," Revere said following Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Giants at AT&T Park. "We've got 40 games or something like that, so I can manage that."
But can he manage a run at the National League batting title? Revere went 3-for-5 Sunday to raise his batting average to .314, which is second in the league to Colorado first baseman Justin Morneau's .323 average. Revere was hitting .270 with a .617 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) in 68 games through June 25, but has hit .376 with an .820 OPS in 45 games since. Revere has just one career home run, but his .371 slugging percentage is only two points lower than Ryan Howard's .373 and 36 points higher than Domonic Brown's .335.
Revere has the best batting average in baseball since June 25, eight points higher than Washington's Denard Span.
"A couple guys have said some stuff about that," Revere said about a batting title. "If I can, that would be a blessing. I'll be aiming down, but my focus is just go out there, take one game at a time and win a ballgame."
Revere would be the first Phillies player to win a batting title since Richie Ashburn in 1958.
"I'm trying to and everything," he said about feeling locked in at the plate. "I'm just doing the best I can to help this team win. That's all I'm focused on. It's been pretty fun, just seeing the ball and hitting the ball good. I'm focused on trying to get on base for the guys behind me."

No Buddhist needs an altar for practice, but it is nevertheless a good thing to remind you of your practice, as a focus for your life and as a place you can take refuge. There is no exception for that in Zen (why would it?).
Knickknack altars littered with every little think people pick up that reminds them of Buddhism, Big kuan yin here, little Shakyamuni there, maybe a tara or ho tei. These kinds of altars are basically the change bowl where you through your keys, pens and pocket change of Buddhism.
I don't think Kannon or Shakyamuni are knick-knack. I am not sure, if you've been to a Zen Temple before, but on some of the altars of Zen Temples in Japan are many different statutes like Jizo, Kannon, Shakyamuni, Benzaiten/Saraswati etc. I don't see, why this should be a problem... Or do I get you wrong?

Conn is an orphan surviving the best he can picking locks, thieving and picking pockets. One night, he picks the pocket of the powerful wizard, Neverly Flinglas. Conn gets the wizard's locus magicalicus, a stone that is the center of the magician's power. Nevery isn't mad that Conn tried to pick his pocket, he's astonished that touching the magic stone didn't kill Conn. No one else is supposed to be able to touch a wizard's stone. Intrigued, Nevery takes on Conn as a servant and when Conn shows he indeed has a mysterious and powerful attraction to magic and magical things, Neverly makes him his apprentice.
The two of them get caught up in a magical investigation when Neverly is hired to figure out why magic is draining away from their city. This story has it all: wizards, a power hungry crime boss, friends, enemies, spying & betrayal. Nevery and Conn are both great characters. Neverly is grouchy and stern, but Conn is so endearing, smart and funny he manages to weasel his way straight into Nevery's heart…although Neverly would never admit it. Author: Sarah Prineas

Ratings for Dr. Matthew P. Kozminski
Has been there through thick and thin and has not let me down.
This is the most unprofessional doctor that I have ever come across. After waiting weeks to be seen showed up for an appt that had been cancelled and I was never notified. Then was lied to and told they did call and my number was not in service. Apt was rescheduled. If it had not been for myself calling 10 mins before the office closed I would have not know of a second cancelled apt. I asked to speak to the doctor and he refused.
Recently gave out over $1000 in free drug samples (per internet research, so do not quote me, no prescription or insurance coverage)instead of throwing out onto the street with nothing.
I have never had any problems with this clinic. The staff has done more to help me than any other clinic in town. This is the only clinic that every took the time to review my thyroid labs and identify a problem. Yeah, they do have ads for cosmetic botox and hormone therapy; however, I have never been pushed into considering either of those therapies.
I was treated rudely and inconsiderately by this clinic staff and physician. Their guidelines read as though they expect every patient to be a drug-seeker or thief, and that is exactly how I was treated when I came in. The focus of the clinic seemed to be cosmetic Botox and hormone therapy, and I got the feel that making a buck was the main focus. Being left in a waiting room for over an hour with numerous shrieking toddlers is not the best therapy for migraines. I am not sure with whom they share an office, but be aware of the atmosphere. They seldom answer the phone and often you can't even leave a message. For patients who feel they deserve compassion, respect, customer service, and courtesy, I recommend you look elsewhere.
The first time I had seen him, he was to the point and ordered a number of test. I was not sure what to think? At follow up, he found the problem and told me exactly what was wrong. Keep in mind that prior to seeing him, every other doctor treated me as if I was faking and I was placed on numerous medications. One MRI later with him, he simply found the problem. His staff was so nice in helping me see a surgeon as well.
HE didn't seem to care about me at all; it was as if I was just another number to him. I had told him that my husband and I were trying to have a baby and not two seconds later he prescribed me a medication that was not pregnancy safe. A week later I find myself in the hospital having seizures and nobody can get a hold of him for a consult. I then find out I'm pregnant, and call to let him know so he can adjust my medication. His staff promises to get back to me, but almost a week later and still nothing. Take my advice go to a doctor that will at least pretend to care.
I have been to a number of doctors, but so far, he was the only one that connected the dots for me. He took the time to explains things well.
Dr Kozminski did not take the time to research what was wrong with me. He took diagnosis of another provider without running the proper test which delayed my treatment and cost my insurance company more money to find someone who would do the job. Come to find out I have Multiple Sclerosis which could have been diagnosed a year ago and helped with all my pain. I would not reccomend him to anyone.
Dr. K diagnosed my husband with a rare condition whenever nobody else would listen. To this day, other docs are in deniable, but Dr. K's treatment is working and my husband feels much better today. Isn't that all that really matters?

Our Easter Walk
15 comments:
What a beautiful idea! I love it! I have been looking for ways to make Easter more spiritual, and I think this will be a perfect thing to do Easter morning. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Your blog is a blessing. I love it.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this idea!
I love this! I'm adding the "Easter Walk" to my How To Raise Righteous Kids rock collection!ReplyDelete
This is a really great idea! We are totally going to do it! I was a little worried about having to find something alive, here we are still struggling out of a long winter...but the grass is starting to grow again so they can use that. I think I will wait until my brother and his kids come so we can do it together!ReplyDelete
What a fabulous idea. I love the symbolism. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I just wanted to add...that picture of your daughter with the pink hyacinth is darling. What a beautiful tradition. At the beginning of your story, you mentioned the idea of feeling like, "is this worth it?". I totally know what you mean. I have been there so many times....and I am so grateful for the little moments of grace that give me hope that yes, my kids are listening and soaking up some of it all. Our family home evening was just a simple reading of different excerpts from the latter part of John...and talking about what bits of the intercessory prayer meant (I've got some older ones), and it was one of our best FHE lessons yet. I was so thankful...we've had lots of ones that felt like chaos, fatigue, irritation, and frustration all wrapped into one messy package. We've also been reading excerpts from the four gospels for our family scripture reading this month, and I've loved reviewing parts of Christ's life.ReplyDelete
I love your "Easter Walk" tradition and hope to do something like it.
I hope you enjoy Walking...it's been so many years since I read it, but there is lots of beauty in there.
Bonnie - Doug says we're working on a date to get together. Finally!ReplyDelete
Georges - thanks for your sweet comment.
Lauren - Tell me more. I want to hear about your rock collection!
Rachel - Wow. And I thought we were having the longest winter here! Yes, grass will do. Even the sight of green grass can be exciting, right?
Anne Marie - "little moments of grace that give me hope" - I suspect I will understand this even more as my children get older. What a wonderful FHE you had! John has been my favorite of the four gospels as I've re-read the last week of the Savior's life this month. With John 17 of course and the very detailed conversation Christ has with his disciples in the preceding chapters, I just find it so tender. And I love how John refers to himself anonymously as "the disciple Jesus loved." Walking arrived yesterday. I'll let you know how it goes!
thank you for sharing this great idea. i had the grandkids go outside and collect yesterday...today we'll share their finds.ReplyDelete
cath, these photos of your girls are precious. so so sweet. xox
Adding it to my collection of things to do when my son is older.ReplyDelete
how i wish i could have seen you this week!!! i really miss you. love this idea.ReplyDelete
Oh, Cath, I started The Help (you had mentioned it a while back). I am in love with the characters she's creating. Thank you, thank you.ReplyDelete
Have you ever heard of One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp? It's a memoir written by a mama of 6 kids and is all about her attempts to see God's hand in her life. I am in the middle of that one and am blown away by the language (I sometimes have a few books I am reading at the same time....savoring bits here and there). It's a delightful read so far. You are such a gifted writer and might enjoy the language in it.
Happy Easter to you and yours!
Cristie - you are such a good grandma! xoReplyDelete
Jen - loved perusing your blog. Keep writing!
Erin - ditto. ditto. next time, eh?
Anne Marie - Yes - I follow Ann's blog. Her words give life - speak light, every post, every thought. I've had her book sitting on my kitchen counter for a couple months now. I've been saving it for a May post. So glad you're enjoying it. Makes me want to dive in sooner now! Have you seen her weekly gratitude journal?
I am planning to print one for each of my girls. If I'd been more on top of things we would have done it this week. Anyhow, I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts about Ann's book. And The Help - yes - aren't the characters magnificent?
Happy Easter to you too dear friend.
We should have done this. Our Easter tradition consists of . . . candy. Next year!ReplyDelete
What a lovely tradition!! I'm so filing this away for next year...ReplyDelete
I am a friend of Fiona's and loved your post. Thanks so much. I have often wanted a really good Easter tradition like this.ReplyDelete

North Platte St. Pat's defeated Sutherland and Hershey on Saturday in both of its matches at the North Platte Community College Invite.
St. Pat's coach Shelly Byrn said that she liked how her team fared against the Sailors (5-4).
"I think we played really well against Sutherland," said Byrn.
The Irish were also challenged in its second win by fellow South Platte Valley Association rival Hershey. They defeated the Panthers 22-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-15.
Hershey (4-4) stunned St. Pat's in the first set and the Lady Irish still didn't look very sharp in winning the second set.
The Lady Panthers then got out to a 7-2 lead in the third set after back-to-back ace serves by Maegan Hiatt.
Hershey had a steady 3-4 point lead until Brook Boucher got the serve with St. Pat's down 19-15.
Brittany Lawrence made a kill for the first point and then Hiatt hit the ball out of bounds to cut it to 19-17.
Then Boucher served for an ace to bring the margin to one and then Brooke Munsen hit the ball out, to tie the score.
The Irish then took the lead when Boucher got another ace off the tape of the net. Lawrence then followed with another kill to make it 21-19, St. Pat's.
Boucher's run ended when she served the ball into the net. Both teams traded points until Bree Saner made a block on Daynlee Miller to give the Lady Irish setpoint at 24-22.
Brooke Frederick made a kill on the left side to bring the Panthers to within one point. But on the next play, Frederick hit the ball off the antenna and the Irish stole the third set.
In the fourth set, St. Pat's scored the first four points with Boucher serving and the Lady Irish never looked back to win the match.
It wasn't a pretty effort but Byrn was pleased with how St. Pat's fought off Hershey.
"Against Hershey, we were flat but I am proud of how they worked together and came away with the win," Byrn said. "Brook got us going and I thought we served the ball pretty well today. We also had good serve-receive against Sutherland but against Hershey, it was flat. We were kind of tired, this was our fifth match of the week.
Hershey coach Amy Beyer said the Panthers played much better against St. Pat's as opposed to its match against Sutherland earlier in the day.
The Lady Sailors swept Hershey 25-16, 25-12, 26-24.
"I feel like we didn't play very well against Sutherland," said Beyer. "Not to take anything away from them but we just didn't play the way we needed against them. I felt a little better about how we played against St. Pat's. We passed the ball much better. But we're inconsistent and we need to recognize the things we do well and get better at them."
Sam Kennedy had 31 kills, 8 blocks and 26 digs for Sutherland in the two games. Joli Hopping had 62 assists.

July kicked off with a positive corn condition report for many states in the Corn Belt, according to the USDA's "Crop Progress" report released on Monday. Sixty-seven percent of the nation's corn is in good to excellent condition, which is well-above last year's report of 48 percent.
By this time in 2012, 8 percent of the country's corn was in excellent condition, compared to 16 percent now.
However, while the news is positive for some, not all state reports were as optimistic.
In Colorado, where drought, dust storms and wildfires have dominated for weeks, 22 percent of the corn is in poor or worse condition. Just 6 percent of the Colorado's corn is in excellent condition. The latest "Ag in Drought" report showed that 60 percent of corn in Colorado is in extreme or worse drought.
Texas is another state wrestling with drought and declining corn conditions. Currently, 11 percent of Texas corn is in poor to very poor condition, up 2 percentage points from the June 24 report.
Poor conditions aren't limited to the dry Southwest, however. Other states further east are also experiencing declining corn conditions.
In Iowa, 14 percent of corn is in poor or worse condition, following by Minnesota (10 percent), Wisconsin (10 percent) and Missouri (9 percent).
On the other end of the spectrum, Pennsylvania's corn was reported the best in the nation, with 87 percent in good or better condition. Corn in Ohio (85 percent) and Kentucky (82 percent) is impressive, as well.
In addition, 3 percent of the corn is silking, primarily in North Carolina (77 percent), Tennessee (35 percent) and Texas (66 percent).
Soybeans tell a similar story – 67 percent of the country's soybeans are in good or better condition, which is much improved from last year. Most states have reported positive conditions, but some, including Arkansas, Iowa, Michigan and Mississippi, are beginning to show signs of deteriorating crops.

i am having a hysterectomy as i have a prolapsed uterus and want to no if it is wise to have my ovaries removed. i am 67 years old and feel if i am having surgery they should come out.
One of the benefits of preserving the ovaries during hysterectomy is that they will continue to make ovarian hormones. This obviously makes more sense the younger you are. Even after menopause, the ovaries continue to make hormones. Obviously the concerns are that ovarian cancer or other more common conditions like pain, ovarian cysts, etc can occur. In general, there is a 2-5 % risk for the need for future surgery because of these problems. The benefits become much less important after 65 years of age and their removal should be considered.

According to NBC News producer Jay Blackman, I'm worth a lot of money.
His Monday night story, "What is a mom's work worth?" laid it all out on the line.
"They say it's the small things, but when it comes to mothers, the small things really do add up. Whether it's driving to karate, making doctor appointments, or paying the bills, Mom's job is never done - and she does it all for free."
"I'm just gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I'll go last.
Then time will tell who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine."
—Bob Dylan "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)"
Though hopefully no one falls, I agree with Bob Dylan. Sometimes you just have to go your separate ways.
It is much too easy to write a column about domestic violence these days. Sadly, there are abundant examples all over the news. I wish these stories never happened.
In Middletown, Md., an accountant for a railroad company killed his wife, his three children and then himself. The bodies were discovered by the children's grandfather on April 18. The 33-year-old mother and three children received "traumatic cuts" and were also shot. The father left five notes and apologized to family members in one of the notes. He apparently faced psychological and financial problems.
As Mother's Day rolls around once again, I find myself reflecting this year on the different obligations we feel towards those mothers in our lives, at different times and passages in our lives.
As this is the second Mother's Day since my own mother died, I can't help but remember her with the fondest recollections, avoiding the sad, last and declining years of her life when a stroke took away her sparkle and delightful personality.
If I could give an award to Casey Circuit Judge James G. Weddle, I would. He knows what it's all about.
Weddle refused to sign a settlement order recently for a lawsuit involving a Liberty teenager who sued the County government. Driving a Mack truck, a County road worker rear-ended 17-year-old Jeremy Wilson's Chevy Blazer in December 2006.
Weddle denied the motion presented by attorneys because the order of dismissal provided for a settlement that is confidential.
I was like a child in a candy store. Except this candy store was full of stories, not chocolate.
Last weekend, I went with a friend to the Southern Kentucky Book Festival in Bowling Green. My attendance at this festival is an annual trip I look forward to for months.
Hundreds of authors gather at the fair to talk with their readers, sign autographs and have panel discussions about their books and writing.
We're going to find out why so many teenagers are reading the Twilight saga.
At Sunday's meeting of the CKNJ Bookmarks reading group, we discussed our last book choice, a set of two novellas, "Dinner With a Perfect Stranger" and "A Day With a Perfect Stranger." The books were an easy read, first-person accounts of two young skeptics who encounter Jesus, and his answers to their most challenging and most personal life questions.
Some of us liked the books, and others didn't.
As a reporter, I sometimes write stories that seem to stay with me and tug at my emotions, whether it's about someone dying in a car crash, a fire that left a family homeless or someone accused of hurting an innocent child. One such story that recently tugged at me was about child abuse. It gave statistics that show that the number of reported child abuse cases last year was higher - much higher - than in 2007.
When simply looking at a single photograph causes an instantaneous reaction, either physical or emotional, you know it's not simply a good photo, it's a great one.
Sitting there in the small alcove, in the midst of a museum full of strangers, I both laughed and cried. I gasped and I winced.
I spent nearly an entire day immersed in history last week. And I enjoyed every moment.
I suppose I should mention that history ranks only slightly above math on my list of interesting things in life ... and math is dead last.
The nation's preeminent business organization recently released a study showing that the high costs of the American health care system puts American businesses at a significant disadvantage.
The Business Roundtable, which represents some of the country's biggest corporations, found that for every $100 the U.S. spends on health care, our main competitor countries - the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, France, and German - only spend about 63 cents.

While this Irish band is hugely popular in their homeland, they've yet to make much of a dent in the US. Their fifth album could be their most adventurous to date – it's a richly textured recording that veers from quiet moments of dark folk to raging, full-on rock, with Colm Mac Con Iomaire contributing some gorgeous violin work to the proceedings. 1/19/2005 - Don Yates

What does Omar imagine Amy and Tyler are plotting this whole time?
He's just suspicious. He knows that something's going on, which is why he asks them first if they're having an office affair. He's just trying to put together why these two are always chatting and whispering and all that nonsense. But I don't think he suspects anything as malicious as what's actually happening.
So what does he think really happened to get him fired?
He has no idea. At the end, he's ranting and raving about them profiling him, but he's just grasping at straws. He's incredibly confused and upset, but he doesn't think at all that Amy and Tyler are behind his firing.
Omar's one of the more overtly comic characters on the show. Do you enjoy bringing levity to some of the show's more serious moments?
It's terrific fun. Mike [White] does such a good job creating that world. And it's a world full of tension and angst, so it's nice to cut through that and put something in that's funny without upsetting the balance. That's what's great about the show-it can maintain that kind of tension and pressure on its characters, but still have some pretty funny jokes land.
Where do you think Omar ends up after leaving Abaddonn?
No place good, I'm sure. I think it's only downhill for Omar after Cogentiva. He was already in dire straits. There was a scene last season in Omar's house with his three kids running around with his wife in the background and it's not a nice house. This guy lives a harrowing existence. He's probably going to be in bad shape-or, he's going to invent a software program and become a billionaire. One or the other.
Can one person change the world?
What's your personal mission statement?
I don't know if I have one.
What's the best way to quit your job?
If it's a bad job, in a blaze of glory. If it's a good job, in a polite and mannered fashion.
Worst job you've ever had:
I had a series of temp jobs in New York that were awful. But nothing as bad as Omar's existence on Enlightened.
I need rehab for ____:
Garbage television.
If I were a corporation, I'd be:
Best advice I ever got:
Take Fountain Ave. during rush hour.

Today's Inside the Vault is about Jennifer Noland, QA tester. Jennifer started out as an intern, worked her way to become one of the original five core testers on Oblivion, and she's been an important part of our QA department ever since.
What's your job at Bethesda?
I am a tester in the Quality Assurance department, currently working on Fallout 3.
What other games have you worked on?
Bethesda was my first job in the gaming industry. I started here back in 2003 and began work on the second The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind expansion pack, Bloodmoon. I have also worked on Pirates of the Caribbean, IHRA Drag Racing 2004, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Shivering Isles expansion, and various downloadable content for Oblivion, including Knights of the Nine.
What is the best part about working as a tester? The worst part?
You know, I'm not sure there is just one thing I like the best about working as a tester, but I guess one of the top things I like is that I find it really interesting to get the chance to see how games get put together, slowly building up and changing into the final product. I like to think about how the game looked when I first began testing it and comparing it to the end product. I get excited about things that are going to be in the games, and then getting the chance to see them for the first time.
The worst part? The commute! It's awful — it takes me about forty minutes on a good day with little traffic to get to work. On every other day, it takes about an hour or more. But more specific to being a tester, I'd say that the repetitive nature of testing can get to me sometimes. You need to play the same game over and over again, for months on end. Needless to say, once the project is finished, I almost feel like I could play the games blindfolded.
How did you get into the industry? Do you have any tips for breaking in?
I was actually told the company was looking to hire QA interns by my uncle and aunt — Steven and Christiane Meister — who both work at Bethesda. At the time, I was working in retail and hating every day of it. I immediately applied; I didn't know what to expect, having never working in the gaming industry before, but I knew I had an addiction to video games and would love to have a hand in helping to make them, even just testing to make sure that they work properly. As luck would have it, I got the job and I quit my retail job as quickly as I could. I know — it's not a very exciting story, but believe me, I was very happy to leave retail!
As for advice to getting in the industry — I am so awful with these kinds of questions, I never really know what to say, especially something that hasn't been said already in the other interviews. I'd say be enthusiastic and passionate about the job. I think this is something very encouraging for your potential employers to see — of course they would want to hire someone who is going to love what they do!
What would you say is your personal favorite game of all-time?
This is a hard one — can I only pick one? I absolutely loved the old LucasArts games. Monkey Island, Loom (oh, the days I spent playing that game), Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle… as for more recent games, I'd say Okami, Bioshock, and Portal. I don't really have a lot of time to finish playing games these days, but I made sure to make time so I could play through all three of those. However, if I had to pick just one — I would probably say Okami. I know a lot of people say it's too easy, but I didn't mind that much; the game-play was so much fun, the art style was pretty, and I loved the storyline — it was so heavily based on mythology and fairy tales, how could I not?
What games are you looking forward to?
I am very excited for the Indiana Jones Lego game. The Star Wars Lego games were fun, but I'm sure this one will be even better because it's Indiana Jones and I don't know if there's anyone more awesome than him. I'm also looking forward to Spore.
What makes you get out of bed in the morning?
My alarm clock? Okay, that joke is probably old by now, but I'll be honest — I get to go to work and play video games all day.
Worst job you've ever had?
Well, considering I have only had two previous jobs before working here… I disliked both of them. It wasn't the co-workers, or the actual worked involved with retail, but those customers who felt they had every right to treat retail workers like crap — I'm sure everyone who has worked in retail knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Any other hobbies and interests? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy writing a lot. I have so much fun creating characters and stories, especially when I can write with other people, share our ideas, and give each other feedback — I guess a good way to describe it would be collaborative writing. While not my only hobby, I do spend a lot of my time writing! I'm involved in three fantastic writing groups right now. I also enjoy bad werewolf movies, the Harry Potter books, Asian horror films, and reading about lost civilizations, ancient buildings, legends, myths, ghosts, lost treasures and artifacts, haunted places, and other things like that — but I'm not really into aliens and UFOs. I'm currently obsessed with the Weird U.S. series of books and I'm reading through Weird England right now, but I'm always searching for new interesting things to read about, if anyone has any recommendations!

Homemade Snickers Candy Bars
For those of you who know me in real life, you may remember a Facebook post claiming that I was looking for a new Official Taste Tester for my blog…
You see, Hubby's lack of excitement about candy does lead to some issues. When I presented him with one of these guys, he said it was good and went on about his business. I asked him what it tasted like. He said I dunno chocolate and caramel and peanuts.
Of course, the correct answer is a Snickers bar, but Hubby didn't think of that. He had to GOOGLE it to save his title as Official Taste Tester. It was a sad day in the Beantown Baker household.
As I'm sure you all figured out, once I decided to make the Three Musketeer's bars, I decided to also make the Milky Way bars and the Snickers bars. I figured I was the majority of the way there so why not. These were by far my favorite. But that's no surprise, because if I were to choose a candy bar of those three, it would be a Snickers bar without a doubt.
One Year Ago: Marshmallow Fondant on Chocolate Cupcakes
Two Years Ago: Pink Cupcake Bites
Homemade Snickers Candy Bars
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8 oz.) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
Kraft caramels, unwrapped
Roasted peanuts, chopped
2 cups milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with wax paper.
In a medium bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave at fifty percent power, or use a double boiler.
Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat melted chocolate for about 30 seconds.
Add whipped topping to melted chocolate and beat until well combined and fluffy, 30-60 seconds more.
Spread chocolate mixture evenly into prepared pan (if mixture is too stiff, press into pan with lightly dampened hands). Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
Remove pan from freezer and turn chocolate mixture onto a cutting board; cut into one-inch squares. Return squares to freezer for another 15-20 minutes.
Melt the caramels according to package instructions (or make your own!). Allow caramel to cool slightly. Spread a small amount of caramel on top of each square of the chocolate mixture.
Dip caramel covered end of the square into chopped peanuts. Return squares to freezer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt milk chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and stir until well combined. Dip frozen chocolate squares into melted chocolate to coat. Place on wax paper to set. Keep chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

oh no! that's too bad he had to guess… they look awesome and i bet they taste better too!
I will GLADLY be your taste tester for all these candy bars! Looks great!
these look amazing!!! I want to try all three kinds 🙂 How do you think these would hold up if I gave them out as gifts a day or two after making them? Do they have to be refrigerated?
I kind of want to go trick or treating at your house with these candies! I got a recipe from King Arthur Flour to make Twix bars that I'm dying to try out!
Laura – I don't know if they have to be refrigerated. I kept mine in the freezer and we snacked on them for over a week.
Fun and Fearless – If you decide to make Twix – let me know cause I want in on that!
This is an entire blog about candy, chocolate bars, and sugary stuff? I think I have just fallen in love.
I didn't read down far enough in the post, I got too excited when I realized what I had stumbled upon, but i have to go back to see if you gave the Snicker's bar recipe!
I'm sooooo going trick-or-treating at your place! You are amazing with your baking skills, absolutely amazing.
Those look delicious!!!
These look great! Thank you for submitting these to the ATTYC event!
Snickers bars are definitely my favorite candy as well and I'm trying to stay away from them due to all the junk that's in the ingredients list. I may have to make these some day (saving the recipe!).
Your husband is hilarious – mine would probably have the same reaction. 🙂
These look so yummy! 🙂 How many Kraft caramels did you use? Thanks.

Tool Of The Month - February 2009 - Summit Racing Engine Hoist
Summit's Engine Hoist, Lift Plate, and Cradle
There will come a time in your gearhead life when you will need to pull the engine out of your truck. There is an essential tool you will need to do this and it's called an engine hoist or cherry picker. We recently went through a couple-day scavenger hunt looking for a cherry picker to borrow to pluck out a big-block we needed to work on. We eventually found a friend who had one, but the down time was enough for us to investigate getting our own tools instead. We were expecting something of that size to be pretty expensive, but we were happily surprised to find a really nice unit available from Summit Racing for only $189.95. You might be thinking a cherry picker that cheap would be cheaply made, but that is not the case. This sucker is stout, boasting a 2-ton capacity thanks in part to its thick steel construction. One added feature that really makes this a nice unit is the ability to fold it up so it will tuck away in the corner of the garage.
Since we were expecting to pay somewhere around 300 bucks for the hoist, we had some leftover money burning a hole in our pocket. Instead of saving it, we splurged and bought a few things to complement our hoist. We added a Summit engine lift plate and engine cradle to help us pull the motor and store it out of the way until we were ready to reinstall it. These two extra goodies brought our total to $234.85, leaving us a little over 65 bucks to spend on beer and pizza.

The Coming Oil Storm: The Imminent End of Oil...and Its Strategic Global Role in End-Times Prophecy : Ron Rhodes, a leading scholar on biblical prophecy, reveals how looming tensions over oil factor into end-time global alignments and how they may lead to a dramatic shift in the balance of power in the world. Much of the world's oil is in the custody of unstable and sometimes hostile regimes. Nations around the world are positioning themselves to protect their shrinking piece of the pie of dwindling oil reserves. Global tensions continue to rise. In The Coming Oil Storm Rhodes documents the role of Islam as the religion in control of most of the world's oil reserves and shows convincingly that once Muslims are in possession of the two swords of oil and nuclear weapons, they will feel empowered to act as they wish. Oil could even play a role in the path to Armageddon. The Coming Oil Storm is an essential guide for understanding the state of the world today . . . and what's yet to come.

Can We Use Control Valves for Safety Shutdown?
Readers Help a Reader Solve This Control Problem
A Reader Writes:
We would like to avoid the cost of separate valves by using existing modulating valves for safety shutdown. Is this an acceptable practice under any circumstances? If so, where and how can it be done?
--From January 2003 CONTROL
Just Dont Do It
There is not an acceptable practice under any circumstances. Each circumstance has to be reviewed based on the safety integrity level required. Please refer to ISA Standards and Technical Reports, ANSI/ISA-84.01, TR84.00.02 parts 1 to 5, TR84.00.03. Also refer to past articles published in CONTROL magazine such as "The Complete Safety System," December 2000.
(From Safety Systems to Operational Integrity)
...ISA S84.01 paragraph 220.127.116.11: "A control valve from the BPCS [basic process control system] shall not be used as the only final element for SIL-3. A safety review shall be required to use a single BPCS control valve as the only final element for SIL-1 and SIL-2. For additional information see B.1.6."
...Even if you meet the ISA S84.01 requirements, you need to validate that your complete design meets the particular Safety Function SIL requirement. This is dependent on the specific equipment failure data, the levels of redundancy used, and test frequencies. The validation calculation is done for all of the safety function components as a group. Individual component SIL ratings do not ensure system compliance.
Brian Smith, C.E.T., Senior Instrument/Electrical Designer
Nova Chemicals (Canada) Ltd., Sarnia, Ontario
It Depends on the Danger
As long as single-component failure doesn't jeopardize the safety of the personnel, it is allowable to use the control valve as a safety shutdown system. This can be done multiple ways depending upon the process and safety requirement.
(Personnel Functional Safety Certification: Not All Programs Are Created Equal)
...In a chemical plant where plant safety (not toxicity) is concerned, it is achieved by installing one or two solenoid valves in the air signal line from positioner output to actuator. These valves could be operated from a safety system or one could be from the DCS and the other for safety shutdown.
...Generally, a control valve has Class IV leakage, and if the process involves toxic and flammable liquid, it is advisable to use a remote operated on-off valve downstream of the control valve to isolate the system totally.
...The control system engineer is in the best position to decide what level of safety is required and what chemicals are involved before making a decision. Keep in mind cost of an additional control valve is nothing compared to the loss of life that may occur if the problem is not investigated thoroughly.
Imtiyaz Mohammed Arab, Senior Engineer, Control System
Bechtel National, Waste Treatment Plant, Richland, Wash.
S84 Sort of Says No
ISA-S84.01 section 188.8.131.52 specifically prohibits the use of a control valve from the basic process control system (BPCS) as the only final element for SIL 3. It goes on to say, "A safety review shall be required to use a single BPCS control valve as the only final element for SIL 1 and 2."
...It then refers to Annex B (which is not a requirement of the standard and is provided for information only): "It is generally necessary to provide separation between the BPCS and SIS functions." The annex goes on to suggest some cautions with regard to using a single valve for both the BPCS and safety instrumented system (SIS) in safety integrity level (SIL) 1 and 2 applications.
...The ISA book Safety Shutdown Systems: Design, Analysis and Justification makes a very strong statement recommending that the safety systems should be completely independent of the control system.
...Although dual use of final elements may be allowed with the proper analysis, if an incident at a plant involving the use of a dual-purpose valve did occur, I personally would not want to explain to the OSHA inspector or a jury that my main concern was to save money.
Fred Porth, SIS Product Marketing Manager
Metso Automation, www.metso.com
Pay Now or Pay Later
There are several reasons for using separate valves for safety shut down:
- NFPA requires it on industrial burners.
- Most valve actuators are not spring-loaded and will rest in place on power interruption.
- Actuators that are spring-loaded may take as long as 80 sec. to shut down on power interruption.
- Your insurance company may refuse to pay in case of an accident.
Nobody wants to accept extra expense in a control system. But in this case, safety is the prime factor.
Dennis Hablewitz, Product Specialist
Eurotherm/Barber-Colman, www.eurotherm.com
OK if Fail Open
Conventional control valves are generally not able to effect positive shutdown when required to completely shut off flow. The sealing components are usually worn or abraded from effluent impingement. On the other hand, if the valve is required to fail in the open position it is a relatively simple matter of providing external electrical, hydraulic, or air circuitry that would override the metering/modulating function.

Bishop and Mrs. Henry M. Mitchell, Jr.
By Deborah Mitchell
Many knew him as Pastor Hayes, but during the investigation into the charges that he killed his wife and daughter it was discovered his mother changed his name by fraud to please her abusive husband from his birth name, Henry M. Mitchell, Jr.
On August 27, 1999, Vangela and Teanna were found murdered in their home. Â Mitchell was arrested on his 35th birthday, five months later, January 11, 2000. Â Mitchell, facing the Death Penalty went on trial in the Spring/Summer of 2003.
The jury found Mitchell guilty based solely on circumstantial evidence. Â A mistrial was declared in the penalty phase. The same jury gave a hung verdict after hearing not only was Mitchell's name illegally changed, but that he had suffered serious physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his mother and her abusive husband. He had spent years in foster care homes and was kept away from his real father. During his time in foster care at age 14, he rescued one of his foster brothers who was drowning in a lake.
While awaiting trial, Mitchell was conducting Bible studies, prayer sessions, counseled numerous men, and stopped one from committing suicide, which was seen on video tape by the jury. Â Through God's grace sixteen men during that period gave their lives to Christ. It was revealed Mitchell had provided food, shelter and financial support to many witnesses who testified against him.
Mitchell has been In Propria Persona (acting as his own attorney), drafting and filing all of the motions and making his post-conviction arguments before the Honorable Judge Lance Ito, who was also his Trial Judge.
On July 23, 2010, Mitchell seeks to have his conviction and three life sentences overturned based on newly discovered evidence.  With the help of his wife, Deborah, his private investigators and expert consultants, it was discovered that critical forensic evidence, notes and lab reports, that could have exonerated him, was recently revealed  and was never disclosed to him for his defense.  Further key prosecution witnesses were paid cash benefits and eight unknown fingerprints have yet to be processed.
Bishop and Mrs. Mitchell have kept their faith and service to God and would like to thank those who have sincerely offered prayers for them these last eleven years.

Hey Guys! It feels like I wrote my last blog many, many years ago now, and I apologise that it has been such a delay in getting here. I'm currently a screenwriting student, and as such film and TV have been taking allof my creative writing time! But I have a few spare moments now, and I felt inspired to write so here goes – hope you enjoy!
Over the past year, I have to say I have been
Previously, I have written about how I would book Brock Lesnar, John Cena and The Rock from now until the Royal Rumble 2013. Now I am going to draw all of these paths together into the build up for Wrestlemania XXIX. If you haven't done so already, it is probably a good idea to go back and read the previous three instalments of this blog, as this entry won't make sense without the foundations that
Last time in the WWSD blog, I looked at John Cena's path from now until the Royal Rumble, looking at how I would send him to Smackdown to "rediscover himself". The importance of this for The Rock/Brock storyline will become apparent in the final blog, but first I will address how the Great One himself, The Rock, will get from here to the Royal Rumble.....
The Rock's Path
So, in the last instalment of this blog I looked at what I would do with Brock Lesnar leading up to the Royal Rumble 2013 in order to lead to next year's proposed Wrestlemania XXIX main event against The Rock. The next instalment may seem a little out of place, seeing as it will be about John Cena, who is not involved in the match itself, but hopefully my reasoning for including him in this mini-series
Hey guys! Here we are with another entry of the WWSD – What Would Steve Do? blog. This time I'm going to look a year into the future, more specifically to the proposed Wrestlemania XXIX main event of Rock vs. Brock, and say how I would book the next year building up to that main event if I had that power. Since this is going to be looking at an entire year of storylines, this could take a while,

In my youth, I read a book or two about "Yoga mediation". My recent readings occasionally come across a description of a "yogi" with regards to Buddhist practice. Is Yoga, in it's deeper more spiritual aspects, connected at all with Buddhist practice? Were there any aspects of the Buddha's education and experience that used Yogic (sp?) principles? The reason I'm asking is to determine if there may be any benefit to adding some form of Yoga training to my weekly regimen. (I currently take two days off per week from exercise and I'm thinking I might as well do something then, too.)

Nash Brisket
8 to 10 servings
The original recipe is a keeper: The whole-grain mustard (2 1/2 tablespoons) and Dijon-style mustard (2 1/2 tablespoons) that are stirred into the braising liquid set this sauce apart from traditional sweet holiday brisket recipes. Mustard is made from seed and therefore not allowed for some Passover Seders; we substituted a store-bought Passover mustard that's made with turmeric, potato starch and spices.
MAKE AHEAD: The meat tastes better after a few days' refrigeration. Refrigerate the sauce in a separate container; discard the congealed fat before warming the sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Based on a recipe from "Helen Nash's New Kosher Cuisine: Healthy, Simple & Stylish" (Overlook, 2012).
4 or 5 leeks, white and light-green parts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 pounds first-cut beef brisket
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup brandy
4 cloves garlic, minced or cut into very thin slices
6 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, cut into strips
1 cup no-salt-added beef broth
4 or 5 tablespoons imitation/Passover mustard, such as Blanchard & Blanchard brand (see headnote)
Cut the leeks crosswise into thin slices. Place them in a colander and rinse with cool water to remove any grit.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Trim some of the visible fat from the meat. Use paper towels to pat the meat dry. Season well with salt and pepper.
Place the meat in the pot and brown on all sides; this should take about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and pour the brandy evenly over the meat.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Add the leeks and garlic to the pot; reduce the heat to medium and stir to coat, using a wooden spoon to dislodge any browned bits in the pot. Cook for 1 minute, then add the sun-dried tomatoes, broth and 4 tablespoons of the mustard. Stir until the mixture is well combined; once it starts to bubble at the edges, return the meat to the pot and turn it over to coat. Spoon the leeks and sun-dried tomatoes on top of the brisket.
Seal the pot with aluminum foil and a tight-fitting lid. Slow-roast for 1 1/2 hours, then carefully uncover and turn the meat over. Reapply the leeks and sun-dried tomatoes, spreading them evenly over the surface. Re-cover and slow-roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours; the meat should be fork-tender.
Carefully uncover the pot and transfer the meat to a container to cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Pour the sauce from the pot into a separate container. Cover and refrigerate overnight; discard the congealed fat on top. Taste the sauce; stir in the remaining tablespoon of mustard as needed.
To serve, cut the chilled meat against the grain into 1/4-inch slices and place in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the meat. Cover with foil and reheat in a 300-degree oven until warmed through.

Just a question about which rule(s) should be used here.
During a tournament a player's tee shot goes into a creek (OB) that runs along the left side of the fairway all the way to the basket. He goes to get it but can't seem to find it and the group on the tee waiting is getting annoyed and goes and tells him that he has 3 minutes to find his disc. There is no question that the disc did obviously go into the creek.
How long can the player take to retrieve his disc? Is this an OB penalty and a courtesy violation if the player continues to look for his disc?

Conference Readies Women to Run for Political Office
Pennsylvania Near the Bottom
Pennsylvania ranks 42 in the nation when it comes to women holding elected office. Out of 50 state senators, 11 are women, and out of 203 representatives, 33 are women. The Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics at Chatham University aims to increase the female presence in politics and public policy through events such as Saturday's Ready to Run Conference.
"We need to run campaigns that are very viable, very professional, that are very excellent campaigns that people can remember whether we win or lose," said Valerie McDonald Roberts, Manager for the Allegheny County Department of Real Estate. She also held the office when it was an elected position.
Roberts was on a panel at the event, which drew about 75 women from Allegheny County and surrounding areas. She said there are several reasons there aren't more women in politics.
"We have been marginalized for so many years. We are dealing with a deficit, a structural deficit that has been rolling over year after year after year with women and minorities not being at the seat of the table," Roberts said.
That was the prevailing feeling in the room — that breaking into the so-called "Good Old Boys" system is extremely hard to do, but not impossible if women can learn to be heard and learn to be confident.
"To be aggressive, to be focused, to not only want a seat at the table, but to take it. It is not going to be given to you, you need to know how to take it just like men have for hundreds and hundreds of years," said Roberts.
But, it seems that every campaign season there's an aggressive woman who ends up getting labeled negatively as a ball-buster, witch, or something that rhymes with 'witch,' but Roberts said that's just become a reality in politics.
"We have to understand that there is a double standard, we are not going to defeat that double standard, but we need to get around that double standard," she said.
Money Talks
Panelist Deb Sofield is an executive speech and presentation coach. She said in the political arena, reality is harsh. When a male candidate cries, people see him as sensitive; when a woman cries, she's labeled as overly emotional or crazy. While there was a lot of talk about institutional challenges, and that double standard, the main obstacle facing women who want to run for office is money.
"It's an expensive game. You've gotta build your network then make your net work. What you have to do is find some way for people to financially put you where you need to be," said Sofield.
An afternoon session was focused solely on the financial aspect of running for office. Only a handful of the women in attendance are currently thinking of running for office soon, and they all expressed discomfort with asking for money. That is true of Stephanie Gallagher. She's currently a supervisor of Buffalo Township, Washington County, but is considering a run for state office. She says she knows she has to overcome her reluctance to ask for money.
"It's a very humbling experience. You don't really want to ask people. You're hoping they just know you need it and that's not always the case. The key is to ask," she said.
Knowing the Game
Panelists touched on a wide variety of topics, including body language, speech patterns, ways to stand, and hand shaking. Organizers wouldn't allow reporting of the actual panel and discussions in an effort to allow the speakers and participants to feel comfortable being as open and honest as possible.
Overall, Gallagher said the experience was an empowering one. "You just have to stand your ground and know your beliefs and just do what you feel is the right thing to do," she said. "I'm ready to stand a bigger ground and push more positive action to another level."
The overriding message of the day to the women was to know what they're talking about, and that if women want to be taken seriously, they have to do their homework before stepping into the public eye.
"Don't go out there because someone says you should run for office and you think it's a good idea. You don't want to embarrass yourself. If you don't do due diligence and don't do an assessment to see if everything is feasible, you don't want to embarrass yourself, you don't want to get out there and cause embarrassment for other women," said Valerie McDonald Roberts.
Ready to Run events will be held in other U.S. cities in the next few months, mostly with the goal of jump starting some campaigns for the 2012 election cycle and beyond.

Brian Moylan posted this slightly funny, but oh-so true guide for all the straight people who must hang out at gay bars. I agree with him that we enjoy having them there for the most part, but yeah, there are unsaid rules that the Vice contributor pretty much said out loud. Especially this one that reminded me of all the bridal parties I saw one night in the Rose Room. Although Moylan approaches it from a different perspective. From Vice.com.
No Girls Allowed
Ladies, we don't mind going to your bachelorette parties, because we love and support you as friends even if we find it a little insulting (and genitally incorrect) that you keep calling us "one of the girls." However, if we don't know you, we have no interest in being at your party. That means keep them out of gay bars. We know you want to look at strippers, but you have to find somewhere for women to do it. Go to Chippendales or Thunder from Down Under or some strip night called Danglers that's meant just for you ladies. Do not show up at a gay go-go bar and screech and squeal and push all the other patrons out of the way so you can drunkenly slip a $20 in a tiny sliver of spandex stuck up a plump, oiled backside. To you it might be one night of misbehaving, but this is our life. Please respect that, and take your high-decibel revelry somewhere that will cater to your "big day."
'Nuff said. Now I'm deciding whether to go down the gay rabbit hole when I saw the link to this story: Gays or girls: Who 's better at giving head?

I am going to try and break down my runup and get it looking good. I have been watching video online, and with the help of my ever so patient husband, I hope to improve drastically with it this year.
My cyclones probably qualify as super flippy, but I like them as approach discs because I can put them on any line and they will hold(tp's for what it's worth) They seem to power down very well.
I looked into getting a River at one point, but it seems like it is hard to find them under 170. 163 is my ideal weight.
To be honest, I rarely throw the ORC, Firebird, and Roadrunner. But, I do keep them in the bag for a hole here and there. If there is substantial wind, the orc will see a lot of use, otherwise it just sits there. I played a tournament last week, and there was one hole that the ORC was perfect for.
Does your husband know how rare it is to have a lady pushing 300'? It is and telling him that and that you want to throw 350' should motivate him to help you train. Once you can harness more of the power from the x step and possibly a run up the 350' goal is getting closer soon and the Roadrunner and the Orc will become more useful.
