Simon Boccanegra: English Touring Opera
"Verdi Simon Boccanegra (Sung in Italian with English surtitles)
Director James Conway, Conductor Michael Rosewell
In this compelling drama set in the Italian port of Genoa, the title character is a former pirate who returns to the city to become its leader. Verdi's depiction of the shimmering Mediterranean is wonderful. So too are the characters he creates, from Simon, the rough-hewn buccaneer (sung by Craig Smith), to his spiteful adversary, his own father-in-law (Fiesco, Keel Watson)."

|QUOTE (018361 @ Sunday, May 5 2013, 01:25)
| I would say Italian and Irish mafia. Also the rumored Canadian mafia if it exists.
^ Why didn't I think of that?
The Canadian Mafia is the same as the Italian Mafia in Canada. it's called the Rizzuto crime family, here's an interesting doco on it.
To answer your question, being from Italy, Italian organized crime has always interested me the most. It's not what most people think, the Mafia sure engages in many criminal activities, but it's the economy and politics where it's true powers lie. There was an interesting documentary on Europe's biggest cocaine traders the other night called the Calabrian Mafia or Ndrangheta, Italy's most powerful Mafia. Take a look at it, some of the scenes look like they're in Iraq or something, not a developed country like Italy. It's also nothing like the Italian-American mafia...
here's another for those interested on Italy's Bloodiest Mafia, the Camorra.
These groups also have very close ties with the Mexican and Colombian cartels, a recent report in Italy also estimates Italian Mafia groups as a whole earn somewhere within 100 billion euros, That's a lot of money!

SMWS 1.97 - Orange Syllabub
Posted by Tom
I've been a drinker of Scotch, especially Malt Whisky for almost 20 years now and in that time i've had some drams that are a bit crap and some that are a bit special, this Scotch Malt Whisky Society 1.97 bottling falls into the latter and it really is something a bit special.
I was lucky enough to receive a healthy sample of this whisky from John McCheyne (@SMWSambassador) and to him i am truely thankful for this dram.
The story behind it is quite something, this cask was discovered in the Scotch Malt Whisky Society warehouse after being forgot about for years. A fruity little temptress, they re-bottled it straight away - making a delightful Christmas bottling.
Initially distilled in 1971 this whisky sat in bottles from 2001 to 2012 before being rebottled and released and SMWS 1.97 Orange Syllabub really is a cracker of a dram and yet another reason why single cask whiskys from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society really are at the very top of the range in terms of quality and flavour.
The first whiff and i was writing notes about Orange pith and peel, second and third and it becomes Seville Oranges, quite pithy, and a touch bitter, maybe a touch of terry chocolate orange a gentle spoonful of golden syrup in there too
Oranges and lots of it, marmalade and lots of juicy seville oranges, touches of pith like bitterness also
bitter orange and a touch of cloves.
Bottle Name: SMWS 1.97 - Orange Syllabub
Age: 30
Distiller: Glenfarclas
Bottler: Scotch Malt Whisky Society
Type: Single Cask Single Malt
From: Scotland, Speyside

General Electric's (GE) external legal advisers are on standby as the US conglomerate finalises a process to review its European panels.
Firms have submitted applications for a place on the rosters after GE sent out requests for tenders in the past few weeks. The expected completion date is unclear.
The panels include the European M&A panel, on which Allen & Overy, Ashurst, Slaughter and May and Weil Gotshal & Manges are understood to be among the current members. It also encompasses separate rosters for areas including finance and real estate finance.
GE first launched the European M&A panel in 2007 (8 October 2007). Freshfields later chose to leave it for conflict reasons.
The rosters cover a broad range of work across all of GE's business areas, including its financial services arm, GE Capital, which has been slimmed down in recent years and now makes up roughly a third of the overall business in revenue terms. It operates separate panels outside the European focus, including a global M&A panel.
GE declined to comment.

It's a coupon thing, you wouldn't understand...
There are certain things we say, do, appreciate etc.. that only a couponer would get a kick out of. I've got a few.. please feel free to add yours also!
You might be a couponer..
If you have ever tried to inconspicuously search through the buggy coral for abandoned catalinas, just making it look like you are "wandering" for a minute before you enter the store.
If you have ever circled the checkout lanes a few times like a vulture waiting to spot the "perfect" cashier.
If you have ever picked that cashier, and been so totally wrong and it buzzkilled your trip.
If in addition to your coupon binder, you have a coupon clutch, filing cabinet, coupon visor, coupon wallet, and coupon dashboard in your car....and so on lol
If anyone has ever stopped you in the store and said something along the lines of " Hey......are you one of those extreme couponers??"
If you giggled to yourself when they did because you couldnt imagine stopping a random person and asking " hey.....are you one of those people who pay way too much for everything??"
If you've ever had a conversation similar to this:
(in shower) la de de da da dooooo.. uh oh. Out of bodywash.. "Hey babe?" "BAAAAABE" oh for pete's sake (grabs towel and jumps out with shampoo driping down) :stomp stomp stomp: "Did you not HEAR me? What are you doing anyway, ohhh...(stares at TV) are the braves winning?" I need bodywash can you go get me some??"
Husband: (grumbles..you were just in here.. did you not see last time you took a shower you needed...)
Me: "WHAT?? (shouting) I can't hear you!!"
Husband: Nothing, babe. Ok.. Nivea, Clean and clear..(orange, blue, AND pink) Nivea, ( OoOooo it has bonus lip balm) Dove, Tone, Nivea, Softsoap... dial........ nivea...geez. WHAT KIND????? :grabs softsoap:
Me: la deeee doo da dum "Ack, no not this kind!"
Husband: (grumbles.. well why do you have TEN of them..)
Me: (SHOUTING) WHAT??
or a convo like this:
Daughter noticeably upset flipping through your coupon binder
You: " Hey sweetie... what, whatcha doin there?"
Daughter: " Nothing.."
You: "hmm, well... ya looking for something?"
Daughter: "YEAH, I'm looking for a coupon for a bike cause I know if I find a really good one.. you'll buy it!"
Me: "it's true"
If your kids/husband like to show off your stockpile as if it were a new car or something. "She's got like 50 of these and didn't even pay anything but TAX"
Kid's friends: "yeah... but why???"
If you dust and rotate your stockpile as regularly scheduled, but forget to dust the mantle.
You have ever asked for newpapers as a birthday/ mother's day present
If your kids run to the freezer section to see which icecream is on sale then report to you immediately "Mayfield is BOGO mom."
If you can spot a 75% off sale tag from 2 aisles away.
If you used to have dreams of winning the lottery, but now it's more like finding a pile of awesome coupons.
If you ever receive a call in the drugstore and the first thing your asked is "What all are you getting THIS time"
If you've ever had a conversation like this:
:Ring Ring:
"Hey.... wanna meet for lunch?"
"Sure.. what do you want?"
"I don't care, what do you want"
"Ugh, seriously.. just, I don't care"
"Hmm, ok got any coupons for anywhere?"
"Probably not with me.. it doesn't matter just pick"
'Oh of course, when I don't have my coupons"
"Sorry, Johnny's?"
"ok...well where is that?"
"Off the interstate, make a right...then..Do you know where Autozone is?"
"Jiffy Lube"
"There's a Publix and RiteAid is right there across the street?"
"Oh of course, why didn't you say so?"
"Well it's on the left after you pass Rite Aid"
"Pass....riteaid?? WHY would I do that??"
If you purchase anywhere form 4 to 6 newspapers a week...but can't remember the last time you read the newspaper.
If your binder is like your american express card "You never leave home without it"
If WUC has the number one spot on "most visited websites" on google chrome or is your homepage.
If your kids are blinkie bandits (only a few per machine of course) in the grocery store and you couldnt be more proud..
If everytime you walk in with an arm full of bags the first question is "How much did you spend" The second is "Whatdya get me?"
If the question "How much did you spend.." No longer makes you nervous, but excited to tell the total!!
If you don't have the typical "Bread, Milk, Eggs" to buy list... but more like "Razors, Flyswatters, batteries, shampoo,scotch tape...
If while shopping you have ever received this text "Did you forget where you live?"
If even though bodywash or laundry detergent should never have to be on your list, they are almost every single week.
If you are on WUC so much MORE than you ever were Facebook.
If you made a "bull snort" sound at every line you read..because you knew it was true
If you just realized you did that, and it made you laugh even more..
*sorry if this has been done, I don't read every thread.. just trying to keep things positive!" Happy Day people!!
I'm Jessica..Happily Married to TJ Mommy to Lauren 11 Emily 10 --> <-- Allison 8, little Chloe 2 and.. expecting #5 in March
Me: Hey babe, do you think $1.49 for two boxes of tampons is a good deal?
Hubby: (laughing) Seriously? Do you think $3.00 for a quart of oil is a good deal??
Me: Ah, good point.

When my brother was my roommate....
I come home with oh, 4 bags of stuff from the grocery store..... bro "how much did you spend" about $11. You paid too much, take it back, LOL. me: oh, but wait till you see what is in these bags, to which he would promptly change his mind when seeing that it had stuff that he really liked.
But, I have to say, my proudest moment, after he moved out to go back to school 2 hours away, when he made his first trip to the grocery store, and he called me to tell me "I used coupons! I didn't do as good as you, but I saved $8, and hamburger was on sale so I bought 8 lbs and brought it home and wrapped it up in 1lb pkgs just like you do"

TABOR CITY, NC (WWAY) — A former client of R.C. Soles claims the former senator beat and threatened him early this morning.
Tabor City Police say they received word around 3 a.m. of a man lying the middle of the road by the Tabor City Welcome Center. Responding officers discovered it was Stacey Scott, a former client of R.C. Soles. The responding says Scott told him that he had been visiting Soles and that Soles had hit him in the leg with a metal pipe. The officer said he could not see any injuries on Scott when he asked him to show the injuries. Scott said Soles dropped him off at the Welcome Center, put a gun to Scott's head and said, "If you tell anyone about this, I will blow your (expletive deleted) head off."
Although investigators say there was no physical evidence of assault, EMS took Scott to Loris Community Hospital in South Carolina. The police officer said when the ambulance arrived, Scott was able to walk and get into it under his own power. A spokesperson from the hospital said Scott was treated and later released.
A police report lists the crime as simple assault. Tabor City Police Lt. Ron Carroll said no charges have been filed, but the department is investigating. The report also says the victim suffered no injuries.
Scott and Soles are no strangers to each other. In 2008, Scott told WWAY Soles had sexually assaulted him. Scott later told another news outlet he lied. In another incident Scott and his mother claimed Soles pushed Scott to the ground, kicked him and took his cell phone. Police urged Scott and his mother to take out a warrant after that, but they did not. Scott has also claimed Soles has given him thousands of dollars.
WWAY has a reporter on the scene, and we will continue to keep you updated on this developing story.

I have recently purchased a dell xps15, roughly 3 months ago. everything was working fine untill i booted it yestersday.
the right side speaker has no sound, and left side has extremely low sound level with a large amount of static noise.
I haven't made any system adjustments and i have tried restoring all audio settings to default. also when i ran a diagnostic
check it came back fine? anybody have similar problems or any ideas what mighth be wrong or how to fix??
insanoblastorbut these all just show that i said i could not hear the audio .
It is true that therte is not much information but the way the test works -- in its own operating environment (not in Windows) -- it rules out all software problems, meaning that if you do not hear the audio during the tests it is a hardware problem. ( This logic only fails in the case of a bad sense pin which is why one tests separately for that one problem). The value of the test is that you now know that you don't have to waste time trying to fix it with software fixes. You should contact Dell support to have the computer repaired.
Although the test results are thin on specifics, generally all Dell wants to know is whether the problem is caused by software or hardware. They do not need to know more because they do not attempt to actually repair the problem, only replace parts. They will probably either replace the speakers or the motherboard.
Jim Coates -- 14th year on the Dell Laptop Audio boards -- since 2/6/04
Take a look at The "No Audio" Symptom FAQ and try the Sense Pin test. If audio is okay through 'phones then you might have a failing jack. It could be the speakers but if they passed the Dell Diagnostics audio tests then they are okay.
ok, i have run all audio diagnostics test for audio and come up with a few errors:
but these all just show that i said i could not hear the audio . What can i do next? or how can i explore and repair this in more depth? i am still covered by a dell warantee??
Thanks for all your help
system info: dell xps 15, L501x
will do, thanks a million for all your help!
so i got in touch with dell and they're going to do an onsite repair for me in 2 days. Replace the speakers and possibly motherboard at the same time depending on the problem.

Still Clueless in Baghdad
Woodward has written a searing indictment against the Bush administration's catastrophic failures in Iraq.
"State of Denial: Bush at War, Part III" by Bob Woodward, Simon and Schuster, 576 pages.
In Iraq, an average of 100 people are killed every day in acts of terror: booby-trapped cars, roadside bombs and assassinations by various militias. Most of the victims are neither American nor Iraqi soldiers, but rather civilians killed by their own people. The violence in Iraq stopped being "resistance to occupation" long ago; it has become a civil war in which Sunnis, the chief losers in the fall of Saddam Hussein, are using exceptionally violent means to keep the Shi'ite majority from maintaining their newly-won to power. On the other side of the divide, Shi'ite militias take revenge on the Sunni population. At the same time, Sunnis are being driven out of Shi'ite districts and vice versa, in an intensive "ethnic cleansing" campaign. An increasing number of mixed Sunni-Shi'ite neighborhoods are becoming either one or the other.
There is no one in control here - neither the Americans nor the Iraqi government. Recently, Sunni terrorists managed to explode a bomb in the parliament building, which is located inside the protected Green Zone. The only region with almost no violence is the autonomous Kurdish region in the north, where the local government has introduced several impressive development programs.
This picture is clear to the whole world, with two exceptions: the Arab League, which has been silent in the face of the daily killings of dozens, if not hundreds, of innocent Arab civilians by other Arabs; and the administration in Washington, of course. Even after firing def ense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, President George W. Bush continues to believe that the use of force will stabilize Iraq. His solution is to send in another 25,000 soldiers, in addition to the 120,000 U.S. troops already stationed there.
Obviously, the U.S. administration has no understanding of what is happening in Iraq, although to be fair, the Democrats, who view Bush's failure in Iraq as a ticket to the White House in 2008, have no real solution either. Like Bush, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to believe there is a way to "stabilize" Iraq. The trouble is that Iraq no longer exists.
How did the stunning victory of American technology in the war in 2003 turn into such a stinging defeat in 2007? Bob Woodward supplies some of the answers in his new book, "State of Denial," the third in his "Bush at War" trilogy. The first volume explored the war in Afghanistan and the second, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Both were paeans to the lead ership of George W. Bush (to the point where Woodward was dubbed Bush's "court poet"), but in this book, Woodward comes down hard on the Bush administration.
Assertive journalism Bob Woodward first shot to fame with "All the President's Men," which he co-authored with Carl Bernstein. It probed the web of lies and deceptions that accompanied the Watergate scandal and led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974. As young reporters for The Washington Post, Woodward and Bernstein received information from an anonymous source ("Deep Throat"), whose identity remained unknown until recently. Their reports, subsequently collected and published in book form, were hailed as a masterpiece of investigative reporting, and largely laid the foundations for the type of assertive, if not aggressive, journalism that is feared by public officeholders in all democratic countries. What cub reporter, in the United States or Israel, wouldn't want to follow in their footsteps and bring down a president or prime minister?
But early fame was not a blessing for Woodward. After Watergate, he was considered one of the most important and influential journalists in Washington. It seemed as if nothing could escape his eagle eye. Every policymaker in town confided in him, if only to avoid becoming the victim of his barbs. But the consequence of this over the years was that he became the unofficial spokesman of the administration, and even of the CIA.
After September 11, when public opinion and the press stood solidly behind Bush and his declared war on terror, the White House opened its doors to Woodward. Indeed, in the first two books of the trilogy, which were based on in-depth interviews with those at the top, he praised Bush's leadership and his success in putting together an international coalition to topple the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Even if Woodward knew that some of the American claims (such as the existence of nonconventional weapons in Iraq) were false (if not misleading), he still believed that the danger posed by Saddam was sufficient to justify a military showdown.
"State of Denial" is written in a completely different tone than that of the first two volumes. Woodward continues to argue, quite convincingly, that Saddam's behavior - in particular, his repressive rule, his use of poison gas against Iran and the Kurds and his earlier nuclear development plans - justified bringing him down by force. But he also argues that what happened in Iraq afterward was a miserable failure for the U.S. because the dazzling display of force against a weak Iraq was not preceded by proper planning for the post-Saddam era.
Woodward is not particularly knowledgeable about Iraq's social structure or history, and what escaped the eye of U.S. policymakers there also escaped his. The book is packed with details gleaned from memos, meetings, hallway conversations and telephone calls, but there is not a single comprehensive analysis of Iraqi society or history. Woodward, like those he criticizes, is imprisoned in the bureaucratic minutiae of the "inside the Beltway" Washington, which, powerful as it may be, is cut off from the "outside" world.
Another issue that Woodward seems not to grasp is that Iraq's structural problems go back to the days after World War I, when the country was crudely stitched together by British Arabists. They were motivated mainly by imperialist interests when they combined three different Ottoman provinces - Mosul, with a Kurdish majority; Baghdad, with a Sunni majority; and Basra, with a Shi'ite majority - and installed a Sunni king from the Hashemite dynasty. That is how the Sunni minority came to rule a country with a large Shi'ite majority, consolidating its power through brutal tactics that turned Iraq into the most repressive of all Arab countries.
Ever since, Iraq has been plagued by uprisings by the Shi'ites, the Kurds and even the small Assyrian Christian minority. From this perspective, Saddam's cruel regime was not essentially different from its post-World War I predecessors.
The idea of deposing him and establishing democratic rule, in which the Shi'ite majority would respect the rights of the Sunni minority that had persecuted it for so many years was a pipe dream from the start. Only a mixture of naivete and arrogance could have prompted Rumsfeld's deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, to declare that Iraqi democracy would be "a beacon of freedom for other nations in the region."
Because those who leaked information (including highly classified data) are fairly clueless in this sphere, and they cannot pass on what they do not know themselves, none of this gets into the book. Like his informants, Woodward's knowledge of the Middle East and Iraq is amazingly superficial. On the other hand, he can tell us how in-house squabbling in Washington prevented the consolidation of American policy in post-occupation Iraq and how, after the news about organized Iraqi resistance broke, most U.S. policymakers went into a state of pathological denial (hence the book's title).
Woodward writes that when Steve Hadley, after replacing Condoleezza Rice as national security advisor, submitted a memo to her in which he described Iraq as a "failed state," this assessment did not reach the president and was not discussed seriously. Similarly, when one of Rumsfeld's former advisors, Kenneth Adelman, told the defense secretary in 2005 that Washington's belief that it could introduce order in Iraq was based on inaccurate data, Rumsfeld ignored him.
Woodward rightly points out that things went from bad to worse on February 22, 2006, when Sunnis blew up the Shi'ite mosque in Samarra. In response, Shi'ite militias went on a rampage on the outskirts of Baghdad. It has been clear ever since that Iraq is in the grips of an ethnic civil war, but the U.S. administration still refuses to admit it. Washington's corridors are filled with the sounds of sophistry as experts debate when exactly inter-ethnic violence becomes actual civil war, illustrating their arguments with graphs that have no basis in reality.
One of the more pathetic quotes in Woodward's book is Bush's lament, in response to the ineptitude of the government led by Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari: "Where's the leader? Where's George Washington? Where's Thomas Jefferson? Where's John Adams, for crying out loud?" One doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In spring 2006 the Department of Defense approved spending $3.3 billion dollars (!) for bulletproofing U.S. vehicles in Iraq, which are being increasingly exposed to homemade roadside bombs. Clearly, many more U.S. soldiers will die before the job is done. The U.S. simply went to war without considering that after the military victory a political solution would be needed that was based on reality in Iraq, not on some ideological dream.
Detachment and delusions The extent of Bush's detachment from reality is evident in his hollow rhetoric. Even after then prime minister Iyad Allawi, in a radio address to the Iraqi nation on March 18, 2006, decried the fact that 50 to 60 Iraqi civilians were being killed every day, Bush continued to make such deluded remarks as: "In less than three years, the Iraqi people have gone from living under the boot of a brutal tyrant to liberation, to sovereignty, to free elections, to a constitutional referendum, and last December, to elections for a fully constitutional government."
In the past three years between two and three million Iraqis have fled their country to escape the anarchy, daily violence and civil war. The fact that there have been six elections and referenda in this period has done little to enhance security, stability or legitimacy. The troop reinforcements that Bush announced earlier this year (after Woodward finished his book) has not improved matters in the slightest.
Iraq no longer functions as a state, and it is difficult to see how the artificial hybrid created by British Arabists can be resurrected. The real question, which even Woodward cannot answer, is how the United States can withdraw from Iraq without doing even more damage to its international prestige and influence than it has already done by foolishly allowing its military victory to go to waste. As long as the U.S. administration continues to deny its failures, it will never climb out of the hole it has dug for itself.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Act in an Indian Elementary School
Indian elementary schools are quite different from school of other foreign countries. Moving from an another country's school to an Indian school can be a very unnerving experience. Sometimes it can be terrifying and you could be the odd one out. In this case it is important to at least know before of how to act.
1Observe dress styles. Most elementary schools in India wear uniforms and it is compulsory to wear them. Huge earrings, sparkly necklaces, bracelets and anklets are prohibited. You might find it a little strange that Indian elementary schools are so strict in dress codes, but in India it is quite common. It may take time to adapt. Sometimes, during special occasions and festivals, you are free to wear colored clothing but again, some (not all) schools don't allow revealing clothes.
2Don't wear makeup. This is a strictly enforced rule: no makeup allowed. This means you are not supposed to wear lipstick, blush powders (normal powders are allowed) and eye shadows etc. Kajal is allowed in most schools, but some schools don't even allow them. However, don't feel shy to wear these during special occasions.
3Interact with your peers. Most students are very friendly and they will help you to get adjusted. In return, help them and be understanding. Don't be mean to them. In Elementary schools, there aren't anything called 'Cool Kids' or the 'It fashion'. Some kids gossip, but it is usually about some other student and not about popular culture.
4Know the expected behaviour with teachers. This is very important. Students in all Indian elementary schools greet their teachers like ' Good morning Ma'am ' or ' Thank you Sir '. They don't greet teachers like ' Hey Miss. Ria' or like 'Bye, Mr.John'. You are not allowed to practice commenting teachers, but you can politely express your opinion of them.
5Complete all your homework, projects, assignments etc. on time, every time.
6Watch the teacher's behavior with you. Most teachers are very nice and understanding, so they don't yell at you unless and until you make them to do that! Whatever it is, remember this: No matter how disrespectful you are, unruly you are, disobedient you are, teachers are not allowed to practise corporal punishment. Some teeny weeny slaps are OK, but when it becomes too much, report that again to the school's office. However, this does not mean you push the limits of the teacher.
7Attend classes. In Indian Elementary Schools, you needn't move from class to class for every period, instead teachers will come to your own class. You are strictly not allowed to go outside the class without the teacher's permission. You can also find that it is nearly impossible for Elementary and Middle school students to bunk classes here.
8Do not eat anything inside the classroom, until you have the teacher's permission or unless it is the Lunch and Break periods.
9Finally, enjoy yourself and don't worry about rules and regulations because they aren't as bad they sound, instead it is only for your own welfare. Be confident, because, one fine day, you might be saying all this to a student new to an Indian Elementary school!

Game 11
1 vs.
Sunday, August 20, 2006
By Brandon Miller
Special Correspondent
The Murrayhill All-Stars from Beaverton, Ore. got their bats to wake
up as they pounded out nine runs on nine hits in their 9-1 victory
over the South Lake Charles All-Stars from Lake Charles, La. on
Sunday at Little League Volunteer Stadium.
While Devon DeJardin shut down South Lake Charles to the tune of one
run, three hits, and eight strikeouts, Murrayhill shortstop Derek
Keller gave the team all the offense they would need with a solid
2-for-3 afternoon at the plate including a home run and five RBIs.
After giving up five earned runs in only one-third of an inning
during Murrayhill's first game, DeJardin was eager to get back on
the mound and remind everyone just how good he is.
"After the game Friday I was a little nervous about today," said
DeJardin. "I didn't want the same thing to happen."
"I believed in him, his teammates believed in him, we just needed to
make sure that he believed in himself, and he did," said Murrayhill
manager Jeff Keller.
In an attempt to get DeJardin to relax coming into today's game,
manager Keller gave his team the entire day off yesterday.
"It was a must win game today," said manager Keller. "I knew he had
it in him. He got a bunch of emails today, some from people he
didn't even know, telling him, 'hey, relax, settle down, you're
going to go out and pitch a great game.'"
Aside from a solo home run in the fourth, DeJardin only allowed
three other runners to reach base, none of which made it past
Murrayhill had managed only two hits and one run in the Little
League Baseball World Series opener on Friday, but bounced back in a
big way when Jace Fry led off the game with a solo shot to
right-center field.
"I wasn't expecting a home run because I had two strikes, but then
he piped the changeup right down the middle and I hit it," said Fry.
"When he hit the ball, I knew it was gone just from the sound of the
bat and the height of the ball" said South Lake Charles manager Josh
Corman. "We came out really flat, and when you play flat, you get
The game broke open in the bottom of the second when Toma Matisoff
led off with a double. A Trevor Nix walk and stolen base put runners
on second and third with nobody out. After a strikeout, manager
Corman chose to intentionally walk Fry to load the bases and make a
force at home plate.
"When you get to this level, teams are good," said manager Corman.
"Today was their day. They had to win and they did."
Perhaps with a sense of urgency to get the win, Keller stepped up
and delivered the two-out single to plate two runs, and then scored
when Sam Albert's singled resulted in a throwing error.
Keller wasn't done. With the wind kicking up in the bottom of the
fourth and runners on first and second, Keller smacked a long home
run over the wall in right-center to extend Murrayhill's lead to 9-1
and give him five RBIs on the day.
"Those home runs were launched" said manager Keller. "I don't care
if they were 250 foot fences, they were gone. We hit the ball very
well today. We drove the ball."
South Lake Charles looked to get on the board in the top of the
second when Zack Lacombe rocketed a two-out single off the foot of
DeJardin. Unfazed, DeJardin quickly shook it off and came back with
a strikeout to end the inning.
"It seemed like every ball we hit was kind of at somebody or was a
little flair that they were just catching," said manager Corman.
Ultimately, it was Paul Beglis who provided the only offense for the
Southwest All-Stars when he put a charge into the ball leading off
the fourth, easily clearing the centerfield wall.
"I think we have a lot of heart. I think we'll bounce back," said
manager Corman. "This was our first loss of the year so we're going
to have to deal with it. They'll be ok."

Islamists linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and similar groups are working to undermine the U.S. government through "civilization jihad" aimed at imposing Islamic law rule in the United States.
That is the conclusion of a new 10-part online video course produced by the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a Washington think tank, that was made public Tuesday.
The briefing-style educational video, "The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within," features lectures by CSP chief Frank Gaffney.
The video includes a detailed section on "Team Obama" that identifies six people working close to or inside the Obama administration that the course says are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood or similar Islamist groups through numerous front organizations.
They include Rashad Hussein, special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation; Huma Abedin, deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; and presidential adviser Dalia Mogahed.
The video says Mr. Hussein, the special envoy to the OIC, has "long-standing ties to Muslim Brotherhood front groups."
A State Department spokeswoman declined to comment on the video's claims.
The objective of the course, according to its online statement, is to deal with "a threat most Americans are unaware even exists within our country, let alone the degree of peril it represents."
"The threat is the totalitarian, supremacist Islamic doctrine its adherents call 'Shariah' and the organized, disciplined and increasingly successful efforts by such adherents - most especially the Muslim Brotherhood - to bring it here," the statement says.
The video briefing is designed to educate the public about the threat of political Islam that it says is "principally about power, not faith."
Based on public-domain sources of information and firsthand accounts, the course seeks to provide a threat-assessment of the dangers to U.S. security posed by Islamists.
The course asserts that the Muslim Brotherhood is "not a nonviolent group." But in most countries where it operates, the group acts in ways the CSP course identified as "a pre-violent phase."
The Muslim Brotherhood's strategic plan for the Islamicization of the United States is described as a "civilization-jihadist process" aimed at destroying Western civilization from within, the course says.
The Brotherhood strategy is to plant agents and subvert government and societal institutions using stealth means.
According to the course, the Brotherhood is seeking what the Pentagon calls "information dominance."
"If the Muslim Brotherhood can exercise it, we can be kept ignorant of the true nature of the threat they pose and the progress they are making in bringing Shariah to America," the course says.
"In light of these findings," the course states, "there is an urgent need for rigorous congressional oversight and investigations aimed at exposing the extent of the civilization jihad and the need for corrective action aimed at countering it, particularly by federal authorities."
"Such legislative branch initiatives should be accompanied by corresponding actions initiated by inspectors general and, as appropriate, law enforcement."
Publication of the online course comes as Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly ordered a review of U.S. military training material with the goal of purging allegedly anti-Islamic content, the online portal Danger Room reported Tuesday.
The move was hailed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim advocacy group the Justice Department named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 prosecution of a fundraising group in Texas called the Holy Land Foundation. The foundation was involved in illicit funding for Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group.
A military source critical of Gen. Dempsey's move said the chairman's action is a politically correct effort to "make our professional military education fit a narrative, not objective inquiry."
The National Defense University is facing sharp funding cuts as Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, seeks to cut spending and reorient the military school toward education and away from policymaking.
Defense officials said two entities at the Fort Lesley J. McNair-based military university facing defunding are the Institute for National Strategic Studies (INSS) and its controversial subcomponent, the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs.
The officials said the Chinese Military Affairs center was created in the 1990s by conservatives in Congress who wanted the center to provide more honest assessments of China's growing military power.
Instead, the center has been dominated by so-called "benign China" specialists who write papers and hold conferences that generally limit discussions to making sure China's military is not presented as a threat - past, present or future.
One of the center's key China hands and current director is Philip Saunders, who wrote in the early 2000s that China was incapable of developing anti-satellite weapons because it lacked the technology.
Mr. Saunders would be proved wrong in January 2007 when China shocked the U.S. military with its first successful test of a direct-ascent missile that knocked out a Chinese weather satellite in orbit.
More recently, the INSS has sought to disparage the Pentagon's new Air Sea Battle Concept, a new program to better coordinate Navy and Air Force capabilities to counter China's high-tech weapons.
Joint Staff spokesman Richard Osial told Inside the Ring that because of fiscal realities "all organizations are critically examining alignment of resources with structure and operations to ensure a focus on core missions."
For the NDU, Gen. Dempsey recently revised the mission of Joint Professional Military Education "to focus on the needs of the joint forces commanders."
That has prompted "a rigorous mission analysis of priorities, organizations and levels of effort," including the Institute for National Strategic Studies and the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs, he said.
One official said institute officials are lobbying Congress to prevent being dismantled and are using their China-is-not-a-threat materials to show the center is fighting to block the "China-threat theory" - in the United States. The term originated with China's communist government to criticize its critics.
Military officials say the threat of electromagnetic pulse weapons in future warfare is growing.
The threat is prompting the Pentagon to take steps to harden its computers and electronics against the devastating effects of EMP weapons, which simulate the debilitating effect on electronics produced by a nuclear blast.
A military source tells Inside the Ring that Russia has already developed battlefield EMP weapons and used them in combat.
During the early 2000s, Russian military forces fired an EMP mortar round that deployed a small metal-coated parachute. As it floated to earth, the EMP energy burst was reflected downward by the underside of the parachute and also spread by the cords attached to the shell. The result was a cone of anti-electronic energy that disrupted all electronics within its area.
The mortar was used by Russian forces to attack hand-held cellular telephones used by Chechen rebels to communicate.

Motorola V66
This phone kinda sucks. I had a V60t with AT&T Wireless and it was a really great phone, so when I saw the V66 with T-Mobile I thought it would be great, or at least as good as the V60t. Boy was I wrong. The best thing about it is that it has access to alot of great features that T-Mobile offers. That is about it. I am looking forward to when I can get the Motorola V30o, cause it looks really nice. Especially compared to the V66.

Voters demand that the government establish immigration control, now!
Supervision over the masses of unregistered and undocumented border crashers can, and must, be regained. The generally acknowledged reason for this onslaught is these people will do anything in order to acquire the U.S. dollar. One seldom heard solution is to simply enforce existing laws restricting any payments for work or welfare to lawfully documented residents, and invoke heavy sanctions on violators.
This massive migration feeding an overflowing labor force was created through many thousands of legal temporary visa contract workers, augmented by countless thousands of legal and illegal immigrants. The pool is saturated at all levels with underqualified or underpaid workers.
Cheap labor from diverse pools provides businesses greater profits through exploitation; allowing many industries to reduce wages and cut or eliminate health insurance, pensions, stock options and other benefits, and include possible union busting. Daily we see more shoddy production in hospitality, educational, automobile, housing and even information technology industries.
Needed corrections are stymied by businesses' concentration on the bottom line. Congress is embroiled in petty party infighting and will do nothing meaningful while dreading upcoming elections, possibly even afterwards.
What to do about it? We must insist upon release of the government's databases of legal and illegal Social Security numbers, followed by strict enforcement of existing laws prohibiting payments to illegals.
Removing access to the U.S. dollar could curtail border breaching and induce violators to go elsewhere.

Tim, a credit card slipped between the velcro makes it easy both ways. You can get fancy and make a "tool" out of 1/32 ply with one end rounded like a tongue deperssor. Then it's easy to work it in between.
Finished my Slick and waiting for some snow to melt before maiden. I was thinking about wing loading and wanted to figure out what my Slick came in at but I can not find any specs on the wing area, 3D Hobby does not list this figure. Does anyone know, not sure I know how to figure square area correctly.
My all up weight was 34oz, 2oz over weight from what I've read. I don't think this will be a problem though. Just interested in the numbers and dreaming of flying days to come.
34oz is a light set up. I dont know anyone thats at 32oz. Mine with 72G motor, 65mgs all around , 136Gram battery, 72 omega is 34 oz. I am sure I could lose some weight if I went to lighter servos and a smaller battery but it flys so good the way it is , there is really no need. Most of the slicks are comeing out around 34 to 36 ozs
Good luck on the maiden

Two Successful Aftermath Test Flights
I got to fly too. Had been running errands all around town and had the Slick in the trunk. Was hoping the higher than forecast winds would die down the later it was. When I got to the field, flags were straight out flapping. More wind than I was looking for to try some (after the repairs) test flights. but it was steady.
Used my 2200 20C's due to the wind and had two nice checkout flights. Easily trimmed it out then flew inverted. Still slightly nose heavy with the pack all the way back. Was hoping for little wind to try the 1800's a little farther back since there is actually room to go back with those. Also had two 1300 20C's with me to try, but no way in that wind! Thinking about ordering a couple 1600 20C's to play with.
Was very pleased with the way it handled even in the cold stiff breeze today. Everything seems to be working smoothly again. Spent a lot of time practicing Harriers, Elevators to Harriers, maintaining altitude in Harrier turns and worked on lazy Snaps. I love to see the Slick do those! Didn't attempt the Hover after the Snap, just worked on smoothing out the Snap at different speeds and exiting in a vertical attitude, then just fly away.
The biggest thing I was happy about today was that all the Throws were set to the 3DHS recommended settings last night on the radio. On Low Rates, 30% Expo. Have never tried Expo that low before on the Slick and it flew perfectly for me. Felt good! On High Rates, had 55° Elevator before and more than the recommended Aileron, but now 45° Elevator and 30° Aileron with the recommended Expo. Seemed very well behaved even in the wind. Had two smooth landings and the freshly glassed CF LG held up just fine.
Was feelin' pretty chilled after that so headed for the hanger. Was very satisfied with things back to better than normal.
Hoping Monday's forecast sticks and I get to have more time in warmer air.
We're definitely Blessed with the weather we've all been having in the North. Great to hear your flights went well
Flying Tank
Well guys, just found out some very revealing info on my Slick...
I bought a new 10# Digital Food Scale today at Walmart before flying. Brought it home and broke it out for some checks empty and with each of the 4 different battery sizes I have.
Apparently since the Nose Rebuild, (Motorbox, 3 front bulkheads, LG box) back in Nov. when the PowerUp 480 fried, I have gained significant weight. Actually I gained mine over the Holidays, but the Slick got it probably during the rebuild and some since.
Looks like it is in the A-10 Warthog category now weight wise,,,
Empty Airframe: 35.3 oz.
Zippy 1300 20C AUW = 39oz.
(which hasn't flown yet)
Zippy 1800 20C AUW = 40.6oz
Zippy 2200 20C AUW = 41.2oz
Zippy 2200 30C AUW = 41.9oz
(Guess I'll relegate the 30 C's back to the EDF)
Looks like I'll have to get some 1550-1600 size and use the 1800's. Save the 2200 20C's only for 10+ Mph days like tonight was. Stop using the 2200 30C's. Seems awful heavy to me although it does wicked Tumbles with the 30's in it. Just not a Harrier machine or Floater at that point.
I guess with these weights I will never get to experience the full 3D potential of the Slick. Save an ounce with a 72g, but it would probably be working hard to pull this load around.
Anyone else (including Losi) with the 103g or CJE and Wedge with your Turnigy's have some weights for me to compare how over the top I am??
Good thing I fly with the wheel pants off! Could be the straw that breaks it!
At your weight there is no way tha 72G motor will handle that for very long.
Mine has an Auw of 35.2 ounces with the 103 in the front and a 1800mah lipo in it
I do have to do a little fixing on my slick tomorrow as I droped it today doing harrier rolls inches off the ground. My wind tip hit and it did a really nice cartwheel. That was th esecond time the tip hit. The first time it flip right onto the gear and I kept on the throttle and took off again. It looks as though its just going to need sone CA on a few parts and thats about it. I got really lucky.
A friend of mine didnt get so lucky with his 51 slick as he had to buy a new one today. (he forgot to plug the ailerons in before he took off and it didnt end well)
I crashed my heli today too. Wasnt a good day(weather wise it was perfect though)
Man, sorry about your buddy's Slick, but that's what Preflight Ground Checks are for. I trashed my P-47 last June because I failed the Controls Check and didn't catch it. Had the radio still on the EDF. 15 sec flight and then a new Fuse...
All I can do on my Slick is remove the pile of white gorilla overflowed from the gear box repair, maybe kill an ounce there, at least half an ounce. Other than that I'm stuck with it now. Next time if I ever get another 42 Slick, going to be the 72g and light as possible.
Knowing what I know now, amazed at how well it performs overweight, like your brother's Heavy 51. My sink rate in Elevator is probably about like his! No wonder it wants to fall out when slow. Even laterally balanced it this time. Now I'm thinking take that nickle back off, save the weight. Just disappointed I'll never feel the real potential with this one running this heavy. Kind of explains why it KE Spins so hard and Tumbles hard too.
Sorry to hear about your Heli too! That repair can't cost as much as what I bought today! Ordered my new Frames and Lenses today, $449 w/tax. (and that's discount price). My lenses have to have 5 options in them, Transitions, Safety etc., and have to have Stainless Frames due to metal allergies. I could have had a finished 51 Slick for that price probably! Hope they make a HUGE DIFFERENCE for that price!!! They'd better! Hope they make flying easier and not harder.

@upsss - Any chance we can get a re-upload of this working branding.zip for Primo 2.4?? Havne't been able to find one anywhere..
Thank you!
thanks for working on this.
I was also wondering too if you might of had a chance to be able to fix your branding for the North American region? This would be nice to have these to show instead of the lame default ones.

Thank you!
Can anyone repost this NA Branding file?
I missed it when it was alive.
any chance on updating(fixing)/& uploading,...
the new lemony fresh version of your branding for NA region?
Will this work with 2.4 Primo 1280x800 too?
Thx bud.
Just an FYI - that branding.zip is for iGo 8 - won't work (properly) with Primo. I've never found a really good branding.zip for Primo. I kind of gave up on it - I think I'll just stick with the stock icons - they at least have a nice, clean, consistent look.
Sent from my HP SlateBook 10 x2 PC using Tapatalk
I know it was not working with NextGen but I thought it was at leat compatible with Primo 1.2. Regardless, I am on NextGen and I was just interested in the icons file within the Branding file.
Hopefully, I will be able to plug in the icons file into a NextGen compatible Branding file at a later date. Somehow I suspect it might not be as straight forward as I hope.
What software will open and manipulate the content of the poi.icons file in branding.zip?
I finally got my branding.zip working on NextGen. I am now working on developing a version with North American POIs and it is a shame to see that beautiful ICON pack gone to waste.
There is about 30 potential users who showed an interest in these icons. Has anyone still got a copy?
This is the most beautiful I have ever seen for NA and I really need it. There is not a single comprehensive Branding file tailored for the North American market. It's about time to do something about it.
Thanks nawaf. I downloaded the file and will have a look at later. I just quickly opened the zip and was surprised to see that it was a Nextgen version. So this is not the same file as discussed in this thread. I must go out now. I will check its content this afternoon. Hopefully, it's the same icon pack already packaged for Nextgen. It would make my life easier.

One of UCLA's biggest needs this recruiting season is landing a stellar signal caller who will be able to over the quarterbacking chores once Moore and Olson graduate. There is one player that the Bruins have some interest to but haven't offered as of yet. This quarterback is enjoying an outstanding season. In five games this quarterback has already thrown for 1,700 yards and 12 touchdowns. The field general in question is Erik Ainge (6-6, 200, 4.6) from Hillsboro (Ore.) Glencoe.
Bruin fans remember the results the last time UCLA ventured north to Oregon to land a quarterback prospect, don't you?
Ainge has heard from every Pac10 team including UCLA since September 1st and a lot of out of conference schools has contacted him, including national power Tennessee. The Vols are now very much in the mix for Ainge's services.
Article Continues Below
Ainge's most recent offers have come from in-state Oregon and Tennessee. He already had offers on the table from Oregon State, ASU and Arizona.
"I haven't where I'm going to visit," Ainge said. "I do know that I will start my visits after the season is over."
"I'm going to visit schools that have shown a deep interest in me or have offered," Ainge said.
"Tennessee told me that they are going to recruit two quarterbacks like they did with Peyton Manning and Casey Clausen," Ainge said. "Whoever wins the job like Peyton and Clausen did will be a four year starter. Tennessee has told me I'm their number one quarterback recruit. I will probably visit Tennessee."
"Oregon, Oregon State and Arizona State could also get visits," Ainge said. "They are Pac10 schools and the Pac10 is the best conference for quarterbacks."
"If UCLA, Cal and Washington were to offer me a scholarship things could change."
Ainge's athletic bloodlines go back two generations. His grandfather Don Ainge received a full ride to Oregon for both football and basketball. His father Doug Ainge received a full scholie to BYU for his basketball skills.
Of course everyone knows who is uncle is. His uncle for the uninitiated is Danny Ainge. Danny Ainge was College Player of the Year in basketball when he attended BYU. He also had a very successful 14-year career in the NBA and played three full seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Rivals.com rates Ainge as 13 drop-back quarterback in the nation, Rivals.com rated Ainge as the state of Oregon's number two prospect at any position and he landed as at number 37 on Rivals.com's Super West 60.

wikiHow to Play Dead Trigger 2 on Facebook
Three Parts:Getting to the Game ApplicationLearning the ControlsGetting into the Hide-OutCommunity Q&A
Dead Trigger 2 is a first person shooter game originally available on IOS or Android device. The game is set up in arcade format. You must shoot and kill zombies in order to save humanity and keep the world from being overrun by the undead. It is now available to play on Facebook.

5Start the game. After downloading the game data, the game will start.
Part 2

4Follow the rules of the mission. In every mission, there is an objective. Follow the rules to go further.
- In the start of the game, the first objective you will see is to "Go to the Library." Move your cursor forward to get in there.
- Follow every objective to accomplish your mission.
5Kill zombies. You will encounter these walking dead throughout your mission.
- Change your combat by keying letter Q.
- Close combat using melee weapon, like wrench, knife, crowbar, or chainsaw, is when the zombie is not aware of your presence. Just move closer to the opponent, and it will automatically attack them.
- Range combat using a weapon with ammo supports, such as handgun, shotgun, etc., is when the zombie will closely attack you. Aim the crosshair at the zombies, and it will automatically attack them.
- You can change your controls in Setting if you prefer tapping the left click of the mouse when firing.
6Click the numbers 1, 2, 3 to use items such as grenade, painkillers, or mine. Before using these hotkeys, assign the items to the numbers first.
7Click "Tab" to exchange range combat weapons.
8Replenish your ammo. In your journey, you will find Ammo Box. Replenish your ammo by aiming the crosshair to the box.
Part 3
Getting into the Hide-Out
1Complete the objectives. You will accomplish your mission if you complete objectives. At the end of the mission, it will reward you with cash that you can use for upgrades and buying weapons.
2Help the medic. In some missions, you will encounter a few characters that you need to help along the game. The first one is the medic.
- Once you finished saving the medic from zombie's attack, she will turn you over to their hide-out.
- In your hideout, she will help you produce painkillers to cure your HP when zombies attacked you during your mission.
- Click the medic and go to "Produce" to create.
- The number of items that can be produced depends on their level. Upgrading them will cost you money.
3Find the other characters in some mission. Finding them will complete the workers in the Hide-Out and help you along your journey. Just like the medic, you will need to help the workers get away from Zombie attacks.
- The gunsmith is able to produce new weapons and upgrade already owned ones.
- The tech or scientist takes care of hideout technology. Higher tech levels allow you to upgrade workers.
- The engineer is able to produce items such as grenade, boom chicken, and mine, and upgrade them.
- The smuggler can get you exclusive items in exchange for gold.

4Change equipment. Equip your best weapon to survive the game. Do not forget to upgrade your items from the workers too.
5Activate boosters. If you have enough gold, you can buy boosters from the gunsmith to make your gameplay easier.
6Add other players too. Your Facebook friends who play Dead Trigger 2 are automatically added to your friends list, but you may add other players all over the world.
7Chat with active online players when you are in the Hide-Out. The chatbox is just in the left corner of your screen, the black trapezoid button with > symbol.
8Enter the "World." Choose among the available missions, accept it, and start killing zombies!
Community Q&A
How do I join my friends?wikiHow ContributorAs of right now, you can't. I would suggest contacting MadFingerGames and asking if they could make playing with friends online part of the game in the next update.

My only complaint about Villaggio is that it took us longer than we wanted to find the perfect home here. We looked at resales for about a year before finally finding "the one". Now that we've lived here for a few months we can say with confidence that it was worth the wait.
The clubhouse and amenities are spectacular. Everything is very well designed and perfectly maintained. Our neighbors have been welcoming and we've started attending some of the different clubs to meet more people and try out new things.
We would recommend Villaggio to anyone!

We bought and installed a pool this week! Our daughter is turning 4 on July 6th, so it's part of her birthday present, but you can bet that I will be in there, too 🙂 It's only a 30 inch pool (the highest my city will allow without a permit and fencing) but I'm 5 Ft tall, so half my height works for me! It really is a lot bigger than it sounds.
Now with the addition of the pool, my summer's are going to be more busy than they already are. In the summer, I need quick and easy recipes or those that I can fairly easily throw together in my crock pot. I had a beef roast sitting in my freezer waiting to be cooked, but I knew it would probably be Fall before I could get around to roasting it in the oven. So I had an idea of making it in the crock pot with some homemade French onion soup that I had frozen a while ago. I was excited about this NEW idea, until my husband told me his grandmother used to make it all the time. Oh, well, it's all been done before! I had made it already by the time he told me his grandmother used to make it, so I'm going to share it with you in case, like me, you never heard of it before 🙂
Crock Pot French Onion Roast Beef
3 pound beef round rump roast
2 cups peeled and sliced carrots
20 ounces French onion soup (homemade or diluted canned)*
Fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste*
3 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
*I used 20 ounces because that's what I had in one container frozen. One can, diluted with a full can of water, equals about 21 ounces. You may want to omit any additional salt if using canned.
Place the beef in the bottom of the slow cooker with the sliced carrots. Pour the French onion soup over the beef and carrots and sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper. Cook on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours or on LOW for about 10 hours, depending on how well done you want your roast. If a more rare roast is desired, check the beef at about 3 hours on HIGH or 7 hours on LOW. About 10 minutes before serving remove the roast to a cutting board, and the carrots and onions to a bowl, leaving the broth in the slow cooker. Wisk the cornstarch or flour with a little bit of water ( enough to make a thin paste) and pour into the broth, stir well for about 1 minute, and leave to thicken while you slice the beef. You can also remove the broth to a small pot and prepare the gravy on the stove, by bringing the broth to a boil, adding the cornstarch mixture and wisking for 1 minute. The stove top method will result in a slightly thicker gravy. Top sliced beef with the gravy, and serve with whatever sides you like! I made cheddar cheese mashed potatoes, but my Ranch Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes would be great with it.

Boileau sentenced to 10 years for rolling meth lab
A Washington man has been sentenced for charges stemming from a rolling methamphetamine lab found on the square across from the library on Dec. 5, 2012.
Donald James Boileau, pleaded guilty to Conspiracy to Manufacture, Deliver, and/or Possess with Intent to Deliver Methamphetamine in the amount of less than 5 grams, his court record said. He was sentenced on Dec. 18 to 10 years in prison and has to pay a $1,000 fine, court records showed.
Boileau will serve the mandatory one-third minimum of his sentence, will receive credit for time served, and will have his driver's license revoked for a period of 180 days after he is first eligible for a driver's license if he hasn't been issued a driver's license already, his court record said.
He has the right to appeal his sentence, and his appeal bond is set for $10,000, the records said. Court records did not say whether or not he is still in custody.
Boileau was originally arrested on Monday, June 17, and was charged with Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine, a Class B felony, punishable up to 25 years, as reported in The Journal's edition on June 18.
A search warrant was executed at his residence at 306 N. Marion Ave., Apt. 3D in December 2012, according to court records, also reported in the June 18 edition of The Journal. The address was part of Goncho Apartments, which was closed on Jan. 16, due to meth residue. Several items used to manufacture meth were found in the apartment including camp fuel, lithium batteries, plastic airline tubing, a lid with attached tubing, a bottle containing meth sludge and pseudoephedrine pill receipts, the record said.

Flaming Oolong!
Lainie Petersen posted this on FB, but since she didn't post it here yet, I couldn't resist. This is awesome!
Step 1
Pour the black tea into a tea cup. Place the cognac spoon over the tea cup so that there is some space between the liquid in the cup and the bottom of the spoon.
Step 2
Place one sugar cube on the cognac spoon. Pour 2 tsps. cognac over the sugar cube.
Step 3
Light the sugar cube. Watch the flame burn off quickly and the sugar melt and caramelize.
Step 4
Pour the sugar-and-cognac mixture into the tea.
I am going to have to do this tonight with some of my Remy Martin XO!
That is so cool! I must try that first chance I get.
Did anyone else think "dragon tea?" Ritually, there's also a strong connection to absinthe preparation so I wonder how this would turn out with a rich green tea.

Legendary folkrock band Fairport Convention will take part in a bid to break the world record for an unbroken string of festive bunting at this summer's Fairport Cropredy Convention festival.
The record attempt celebrates the tenth anniversary of Compton Verney, Warwickshire's leading independent fine art gallery.
The five members of Fairport will visit the gallery on Friday, May 30 to hand-craft pennants. These will later be incorporated in a seven-mile-long string of individually-decorated bunting.
The band will also invite thousands of fans at Fairport's Cropredy Convention music festival to help break the world record.
The three-day festival attracts up to 20,000 people who will be invited to contribute to the bunting world record. A team from Compton Verney will have a stall at the festival where fans can decorate blank flags with pencils, crayons and paints.
Simon Nicol from Fairport Convention said "We thought that attempting to break the world record for bunting was a great way to celebrate Compton Verney's anniversary. It is a fun way for us to support the gallery, which is a local charity."
This year's festival takes place from Agust 7-9. www.fairportconvention.com

Styles' former flame on The Voice?
Harry Styles' ex has reportedly auditioned on The Voice.
The Sun said that Katie Smith and the One Direction heartthrob dated for a few weeks while at the boot camp stage of The X Factor in 2010.
While Katie failed to make the live finals of the ITV show, Harry was put together with Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson to form chart-toppers One Direction.
Now the newspaper reports that Katie appears on the BBC One series with her new boyfriend, also called Harry.
The pair sing a duet to coaches Jessie J, Tom Jones, Danny O'Donoghue and Will.i.am.
A source said: "Katie can claim to have had Harry's eye before he was famous. He was smitten with her for ages and they used to flirt all the time on the show."
