Sun Belt Wrapup & Tourney PreviewPosted by rtmsf on March 4th, 2009
Rick Henderson of The Owl's Nest is the RTC correspondent for the Sun Belt Conference.
Final Results Are In
A couple things were expected. And a lot was not. WKU sitting out the first round is no shocker. UALR atop the West was expected as well. But MTSU was expected to do a lot better. Additionally, who would have "thunk" that head coaches Mike Jarvis and John Brady would finish at the bottom of their respective divisions and as 12th and 13th seeds? Wow. Lastly, how does Troy, a team that actually was picked to finish in the basement, obtain a first round bye and sit all alone in second in the East? Weird wild stuff! And, of course, why we all love the sport of basketball. Anything can happen on any given night. And especially over the course of a season. Troy has a decent shot at making it to the finals given they can get past UALR. But WKU will prove a tall order. The Trojans lost both regular season games to the Toppers.

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: BoSox making their pitch(es)
A FEW minutes after they'd completed their 13-2 throttling of the Orioles Tuesday night, a few of the Red Sox were changing out of their uniforms as they noticed what was happening on one of the TV sets hung from the clubhouse ceiling.
They watched as Tampa Bay's
Desmond Jennings
dropped a fly ball in center field. They watched as Los Angeles'
Erick Aybar
sent a two-run double into right-center. They watched with audible excitement as the Rays blew a ninth-inning lead to the Angels and lost, 6-5.
But the beauty of where the Red Sox are with exactly a month to go in the regular season is that they really needn't watch what anyone else is doing.
Tuesday's events having given the locals a 2 1/2-game lead in the American League East as they took the field Wednesday night against Baltimore, it matters little what anyone else does if Boston merely handles its own business. The division has become the Sox' to lose.
In fact, at this point there is no reason — short of significant injury — that they shouldn't win it, a point underscored Wednesday night when they rallied for a 4-3 win over the O's after another strong start by John Lackey.
There are still those who haven't bought in on these Sox, likely because fans are still stung by the skepticism born of September 2011's historic collapse, or because they're comparing this team to the juggernauts they remember of yesteryear instead of acknowledging the present-day mediocrity of the American League.
But how much more convincing do they need? With only 28 games to go, these Sox have spent 132 of this season's 151 days with at least a share of first place. They're the only major-league team not to lose more than three consecutive games this season. They began Wednesday having scored more runs than any team in baseball, and with the second-best starting rotation in the American League according to earned run average. More subjectively speaking, they're focused, they're steady, they're professional.
And all that has conspired to put them in a position where, even after losing eight of 13 recently, there's a good chance they'll exit August with a bigger advantage in the East than they had entering the month.
It's easier to take the games one at a time when you're confident that your team's starting pitching is going to give you a chance to win each time you take the field.
And the last couple of weeks in particular should have the Red Sox feeling that way moving forward.
While the Rays have sent
Jeremy Hellickson
to get rest at Triple-A and remain without the injured
Matt Moore
, while the Orioles struggle to find consistency, and while the Yankees wonder which
CC Sabathia
will show up every fifth day, Sox starters have posted a 2.75 ERA over the 13 games leading into Wednesday.
They'd held their opponents to two earned runs or less in 11 of those contests, including each of the seven that came after
Ryan Dempster
riled up
Alex Rodriguez
and the Yankees. During that more recent stretch, the Boston starters have yielded just eight earned runs in 53 innings — a 1.36 ERA — and have individually lasted at least six innings in all but one outing.
Partially as a result, through Tuesday the Sox had the second-best starters' ERA in the AL this season. Their own 3.81 trailed only Detroit's 3.45, and in the meantime the offense had done its job in supporting
Jonny Gomes
' oft-stated stance that good starting pitching creates offense. Over the same seven-game stretch the starters had dominated, they outscored their opponents by a margin of 46-11.
They've done it so well they'd won a major league-best 26 series before taking on an Oriole team that has given them trouble over the past couple of years. And they're set up well to, as Lester said, keep it going.
They have the advantage of playing 18 of their final 30 at home, where they've been excellent this year. After Labor Day they have Mondays off, which should afford them plenty of opportunity to rest and recoup.
Clay Buchholz
may rejoin the rotation of which he was the ace for the first two months.
The bullpen is throwing well enough that, in conjunction with the strength of the starters, they entered Wednesday looking to become the first Sox team since 1978 to allow two runs or less in six straight games. The top of the order is heating up, particularly Victorino and
Dustin Pedroia
Mike Napoli
is warming in the middle of the order. And guys like
Will Middlebrooks
Stephen Drew
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
have made for a potent bottom of the lineup for the past few weeks.
That type of depth is key to staying consistent, and avoiding the long club-wide slumps that could ruin this. So while the Sox might not have anyone finish in the top 10 of MVP voting, or get a single Cy Young nomination, it'll be a big letdown at this point if the players don't earn another honor: AL East champion.
And quite possibly more than that.
"Every single game is important — every single inning is important — and we put ourselves in a situation where we don't have to scoreboard watch," Gomes said. "That's where we're at right now. We've just got to keep making that push."

Going camping? Here are ten fine gadgets you should consider taking with you.
Vango AirBeam Flux 200
£225 | vango.co.uk
Tent poles are cumbersome, heavy and prone to thwacking you in the head just as you think you've secured them: not what you need after a 20-mile hike. But this two-man AirBeam tent needs only pegs, guylines, an air pump and three minutes of effort to ensure you get a cosy night's sleep, thanks to a frame held rigid by air pressure.
Thermarest Haven 20F Top Bag
£175 | cascadedesigns.com
When you're out in the bush, weight is a big consideration. This 624g bottomless (it's not insulated on the floor side) Haven bag should shave a few ounces off your gear. It straps to any mattress, is zipper-free and is rated to keep you toasty-warm right down to -6°C. Couple it with a self-inflating mat and you'll sleep in kingly comfort, even when there's a force nine gale blowing outside.
BioLite CampStove
US$130 | biolitestove.com
Unless you're a beardy mountain hermit, we'll bet you've got some tech with a USB port about your person. But what to do when it runs out of juice in the wilderness? As well as cooking your food, this clever stove converts heat to electricity, charging your tech via its USB output. And handily, it's powered by the wood you'll find all around you.
Heater Meals
from £5.50 | heatermeals.co.uk
Of course, there will be times when you want to dispense with the culinary gymnastics and cosy up in your tent. If you're feeling lazy, then these tasty treats cook themselves in just ten minutes and stay warm for 40 more. Not convinced? The US army got through28 million of these self-heating meals in 1998 alone. That's good enough for us.
Memory Map
from £free | memory-map.co.uk
Full-colour OS and topo maps on your iThing, with Android versions on the way? Yes please. Thanks to this app, you'll never get lost – or have to contend with a huge, water-stained sheet of paper – again. Plan routes on-screen, record speed, distance and route info and even store maps offline for when you lose signal. Just make sure your battery lasts…
Berghaus Torridon 65
£80 | berghaus.com
This 65-litre pack should be capacious enough for all your camping tech. It's adjustable in all the right places thanks to the 'A-trek' system, which allows you customise it to your height. It has a separate base compartment for your muddy socks, works with hydration systems and weighs just 1.8kg when dry. Carry on camping!
Hi Gear 5 LED remote control tent light
£14 | higear.uk.com
Everyone needs to be able to see while getting into bed. But when it's really cold out, fumbling with torches or even lifting an arm out of your bag to turn off a lamp can be a chilling experience. This five-LED light has a handy remote, so only your thumb will get cold.
Grower's Cup
£2.50 each | growerscup.com
Don't take up valuable backpack space with a bulky cafetière – pack a few of these nifty 24g pouches instead. Simply pour half a litre of boiling water on to the slow-roasted beans in the bag, and adjust your brewing time to taste. For maximum slurping satisfaction, drink while staring wistfully at some rolling hills.
Goal Zero Nomad 7
£80 | outdoorkit.co.uk
Andy Houseman, pro alpinist and climber says "If you're going on a long expedition, then gadgets and a charging system are a must. A small solar panel such as the Goal Zero Nomad 7 will keep your camera battery topped up, and maintain a steady supply of music."
£22 | sealskinz.com
Andy also recommends wearing SealSkinz socks to keep your feet dry if there's a chance heavy rain might ambush you. "Camped on a hillside?", he says. "Dig a small, horseshoe-shaped trench around the higher end of your tent. This funnels rainwater around you, rather than directly into your sleeping bag."

Tips For Taking a Family Cruise
8 Tips For Taking a Cruise With the Kids
Know the Pool Rules
Cruising can be the ultimate luxury for vacationing families. With your restaurants and activities just a few steps from your room, everything is at your fingertips. But all cruises are not created equal when it comes to family travel. Some specialize in welcoming families with infants and toddlers, while others are carefully designed for more independent tots. Having just returned from my first cruise (a Disney one at that), I learned there are certain considerations families should keep in mind before booking their own trips. If a cruise is in your future, check out my tips for making your experience one to remember!

Government and contractors must demand affordable, but innovative solutions
When I hear "acceptable," I think adequate, good enough, not great but okay. Who among us would choose an acceptable surgeon? Fly on an acceptable plane? So I sort of cringe each time I read or hear about the low price/technically acceptable (LPTA) procurement evaluation criteria.
No one disagrees that the government - and, more importantly, the taxpayer - needs affordable solutions. We also need innovative solutions that enable service delivery and mission fulfillment, that stand the test of time, and that drive return on the investment. Should we, as taxpayers -- and, in this discussion, as service providers in this market -- invest in and provide solutions deemed acceptable?
Acceptable really is the antithesis of innovative. LPTA is a hold-the-nose response to the economic climate. It doesn't challenge government or the service provider community to do anything other than define, expect and deliver adequate work -- and we need and deserve a lot more than adequate.
Exceptional solutions and services don't just address today's needs in an OK manner; they position for the future, they conserve resources both fiscal and human, and they get to the right answer quickly. Why shouldn't we demand exceptional - of ourselves and our government?
Because we think it's too expensive? Mediocrity is what's expensive. If the goal is acceptable, where is the incentive to define and provide anything beyond that which works fairly well and might last a while?
For those of us who serve the federal government, we can and should clear a bar higher than acceptable. I don't think any of us wants to claim bragging rights for mediocrity. Technology is our lifeblood; we are equipped to design and deliver technically exceptional services and solutions that also are appropriately priced, even low-priced.
Technically exceptional needn't mean high price. Just because we're used to paying a lot for unexceptional results doesn't mean we can't change the paradigm, especially when it comes to buying IT services and solutions.
Yes, we're in business to drive revenue and make a profit. And smart pricing certainly should reflect today's economic realities and accompanying budget challenges.
If your solutions are smaller, smarter and faster, they also can be cheaper.
Smaller – The days of big plans, big systems, big delays and big overruns must be over. Smaller, more agile, incremental approaches are needed to most efficiently spend taxpayer dollars.
Smarter – Companies that embrace open source, modular, commercial off-the-shelf solutions and development frameworks drive forward-thinking solutions built to last.
Faster - Taking years to plan, design, build and test a system that might not work -- and might not meet requirements -- is a thing of the past. Technology evolves, requirements change and missions morph too rapidly for a years-long design, build and implementation.
Cheaper, however, doesn't mean free. My friend Stan Soloway, of the Professional Services Council, spoke about the "low-price limbo" in his Oct. 1 column. While he understands the government's imperative to seek the best deal in terms of price, he cautions against bids becoming so low that it becomes impossible for contractors to bid and for the government to procure anything innovative, worthwhile and sustainable.
If you're developing, implementing and maintaining smaller, smarter, faster, cheaper services and solutions, you'll be much better positioned to score well on price and high on tech. Then, both government and taxpayers benefit from real value: low price and far beyond "technically acceptable" solutions. We need industry and government focused on low price/technically exceptional.

The missing component here is the lack of leadership and accountability for successful outcomes. The government should not settle for mediocracy, and certainly industry providers do not set out to provide average services. However, the LPTA environment normally drives prices below the levels of what the innovative solutions demand. Because price reasonableness evaluations are poorly or rarely done, low price is king at the cost of performance, exacerbated with improper management, waste, and poor governance and oversight. Businesses can differentiate themselves by educating their customers on their innovative and affordable solutions, and pointing out that low price does not mean poor performance. Settling means waste, and lose-lose scenarios for the taxpayer. We have enough of that already.
For the Service Industry, both Lisa and Miguel are correct (IMHO). The government can still focus on the Exceptional through the LPTA process. This can happen without FAR adjustment by doing what Miguel said, prepare a detailed metric for what will be "Technically Acceptable." By setting the bar very high on the technical end, the government will filter out the "outside buyers" who will try to buy into the work by echoing requirements and offering an unreasonably low price (interjecting a high level of risk into the equation). By requiring the bidder to actually present their knowledge of the SOW and how certain solutions might be achieved, the government will get a true performer and the true performers will have the chance to bid a reasonable price knowing the very low-bidders will be filtered by the superior Technically Acceptable bar. It comes down to the comfort level of the government with the service they are getting and the effort it will require.
LPTA is not necessarily synonymous with adequate. Higher priced products are not always of higher utility. Fiscally responsible government employees are always seeking the equilibrium price the law of supply and demand can produce. The government challenge with LPTA is the authoring of technical requirements. Sales organizations can assist the government acquire the best value through education and good business practice.
Education is achieved when government personnel are well versed on the problem they are attempting to solve and in turn the possible solutions (by way of requirements not products) to this problem.
Good business practice is executed when the government does not preselect the solution based on biases and ignorance. The onus is then on a business to ensure that they improve their products and cost models to achieve the equilibrium price.
We could argue about the inefficiencies of LPTA, the government, the FAR, and any other factors. However, let's not judge a philosophy because of its abuse.
They have a description of this already - it is called best value in which the Government makes the determination of the trade-off in increased cost of solutions that exceed the minimum technically acceptable solution.
Ms. Mascolo - a well written article. My own consulting experiences have been limited to supporting DoD but there are a number of decision-makers who seem to embrace this paradox: "I want to make a giant leap forward (BIG program) but take no risk." The "big leap" actually means big dollars which imparts to the program manager, big influence. It's the "low to no risk" element that doesn't fit: you can't take giant leaps and simultaneously reduce risk. In fact, risk rises the "bigger the step" you want to take. What is needed are incremental, risk managed steps . . . and I think your article says that well.

Lady Tigers win their three games by average of 35.7 points.
The question entering play in the girls' bracket of the US Bank/Rolla High Holiday Invitational: Could anyone slow down the state's No. 1-ranked Class 3 team St. James Lady Tigers.
The answer: Nope.
In its three games in the event St. James whipped the opposition by an average of 35.7 points in coasting to the Holiday Invitational championship. In Saturday's title game the Waynesville Lady Tigers gave St. James its toughest test of the tournament, losing by 'only' 18 points, 61-43, at the Rolla High gym.
St. James entered the tournament in a foul mood after suffering its lone defeat of the season to undefeated Park Hills Central the previous week in the finals of the weather-delayed Potosi Tournament.
However, STJ bounced back quickly to improve to 10-1.
"I'm very pleased, especially defensively," said St. James Terry Wells following the Rolla tourney championship. "We're coming out and scoring a few points. But, really, a lot of that offense comes from the defense."
In the other games on Saturday in the girls' bracket: In the third-place game St. Clair clipped Rolla 52-45, in the fifth-place game Sedalia Smith-Cotton got past Newburg 57-48 and in the seventh-place game Houston clubbed Fulton 56-36.
Ashlee Marlatt, a 5-6 junior guard, was named the Holiday Invitational Most Valuable Player. Also named to the all-tournament team were Alexis Uffmann and Devin Fuhring of St. James; Jade DeShurley of Rolla; Kallie Bildner and Hannah Bland of Waynesville; Abby Knight of Sedalia Smith-Cotton, and Karissa Hoffman of St. Clair.
St. James 61, Waynesville 43: Although the final score was lopsided, both coaches felt it was a good performance by their respective clubs.
"This was an interesting game because we had already played them," Wells said (St. James defeated Waynesville 61-55 in the season-opener for both teams). "We showed we got a lot better defensively. Bildner is a load; I told the girls at halftime she's just making us better. I thought we did a better job in the second half on her."
"They are very good and deep in their bench," Waynesville head coach Brittany Matlock said of St. James. "We got tired and, at times, they outworked us. At times I thought we did a really good job against their press and at other times they caused a lot of havoc."
After Bildner, a 6-2 sophomore forward, opened the game with a three-point play, St. James went on a 15-3 run and was in control the rest of the way. St. James led 18-11 after one period.
St. James closed out the first half with a 12-3 run, and a three-pointer by sophomore guard Shauna Rinehart gave STJ a 35-19 advantage at intermission.
Marlatt opened the second half with a three-pointer and St. James led by at least 17 points the rest of the way.
Marlatt nailed five 3-pointers and finished with 21 points to lead St. James while Fuhring, a 5-10 freshman forward, had 13 points, seven rebounds and three steals; Uffmann, a 5-7 junior guard, dished out 12 assists and made five steals, and Rinehart added 11 points.
Bland, a 5-10 senior forward, had 17 points and Bildner added 15 points for Waynesville, now 4-6. Waynesville was without freshman guard/forward Bree Stoddard, who suffered facial injuries during a fall on the court in first-round action on Thursday. Matlock expects her back soon.
St. Clair 52, Rolla 45: In a battle of Lady Bulldogs, St. Clair survived a Rolla comeback attempt to win the third-place plaque. Rolla senior forward Madison Collier scored Rolla's final seven points in the last 2:30. Collier's two free throws at the 2:14 remaining cut the St. Clair lead to five, 48-43.
After St. Clair hit one-of-two free throws, Collier was again sent to the free throw line as St. Clair's leading scorer, 5-11 sophomore forward Katelyn Guehne, fouled out. Collier hit both attempts with 1:45 left to cut the RHS deficit to four, 49-45.
However, St. Clair hit three-of-four free throws in the final 1:23 and Rolla was unable to score again.
St. Clair led 11-8 after the first period and Rolla took a 21-20 edge into halftime. St. Clair outscored Rolla 10-3 in the third period to go into the fourth quarter up 30-24.
Collier scored 17 points - 12 in the second half - to lead Rolla, now 1-8.

In July, the Passenger Rail Labor Bargaining Coalition (PRLBC), consisting of the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen (BRS) and the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes (BMWED), made the commitment to explore the possibility of resolving their disputes with Amtrak through the arbitration processes contemplated by Sections 7 and 8 of the RLA, 45 U.S.C. §§ 157, 158.
In September, the PRLBC finalized an agreement with Amtrak to arbitrate and settle contract disputes with the BRS and the BMWED.
This arbitration agreement provides that a three-man panel or "Board" will meet to hear testimony and review evidence and arguments supporting the positions of the respective parties, then make a decision as to which of the two patterns that BRS represented Amtrak employees will fall under, the current Amtrak pattern established by other organizations or the National Pattern.

BOSTON — With a blue and white megaphone, a member of the Occupy Boston camp asks fellow demonstrators how they should welcome the homeless into their movement.
In near unison, the group responded, "we welcome everybody."
This is the population of Occupy Boston: a mishmash of young, old, unemployed, employed, all outraged over what they see as an untenable economic divide.
"I think something that everyone here is thinking about is the fact that one percent of Americans control 50 percent of the wealth in this country," said Occupy Boston media volunteer Jason Potteiger. "A lot of people feel like their voices are being undermined by the fact that there's so much money in special interest — corporate interest in Washington — that their voices are not being heard," Potteiger said.
So since Friday night, Occupy Boston has brought their message to the Financial District's Dewey Square, transforming it into a makeshift tent city. Potteiger, who's an unemployed college grad, says he's concerned about his job prospects.
"Forty-five percent of people 16 to 29 are unemployed and 85 percent of people who graduated in 2011 moved back in with their parents. This is the issue facing my generation," Potteiger said.
Occupy Boston is an unaffiliated spin-off of New York's Occupy Wall Street, a group in its third week of protests. Over the weekend, 700 protesters were arrested for blocking the Brooklyn Bridge. And similar protests have cropped up across the country, including Vermont and Los Angeles. "Stop the corruption on Wall Street," yelled one L.A. protestor.
Here in Boston, the message is the same. A demonstrator who would only give his name as Patrick says he quit his job so he could join the protest.
"My benefits for one person were almost $300 a month," he said, a red bandana hiding most of his face. "That's half my rent right there. So I had to choose between living somewhere or having health insurance."
Fellow protestor David Trauterman, barefoot and holding a sign, said he's looking to end all injustice. "I'm here for a larger movement than just Occupy Boston. I'm here for a revolution of humanity. We need to stop working against each other and come together as one."
But for the most part, the group's intentions are elusive. There are no clear objectives and protestors are making no demands. But demonstrator Nadeem Mazen said knowing what they want so early would be premature.
"I think it's unusual to want to have clear objectives this early. We're saying that we represent the 99 percent and that many of those in the 1 percent use that wealth in order to undermine the democratic process. It's flatly wrong. And it's not democracy," Mazen said.

In the spirit of Halloween, we want to make it even more affordable for you to check out this great game, written by werecabbage Russel Brown!
For most people, the world appears to be a relatively safe place, filled with the usual problems associated with day to day living. There are no monsters beneath the bed, nothing waiting in the darkness...
But for others, there is the maddening truth; unimaginable horrors lurk in dark places beyond the world we know, horrific things who regard humanity as little more than cattle; insignificant creatures to be used and cast aside at their whim. Ever watchful, they seek to pry open the gates to this realm, to reclaim that which was once theirs.
Some, so-called enlightened individuals choose travel the dark paths, seeking to gain knowledge never intended for human eyes, seeking arcane tomes and malefic artifacts in hopes of knowing the unknowable, even at the cost of their sanity. Indeed, at the cost of their very lives.
For you, the choice is clear, the imperative undeniable. Seek out that which should not be. Stand ever vigilant against the horrors lurking in the dark. Walk in the shadows of Cthulhu, and perhaps, if you're lucky, you may survive, may even make a difference, though the cost might be more than you're prepared to pay…
Shadows of Cthulhu makes use of the elegant True20 game system, providing you with everything you need to run a campaign series in the deliciously maddening world inspired by the works of H.P Lovecraft!

The Trinity term has begun, and this week we will have an outstanding opportunity to meet Gennadiy Afanasiev, a Ukrainian human rights activist of Crimean origin who spent over 400 days in Russian prison. One month after the annexation of Crimea, Mr Afanasiev was arrested on the charge of 'terrorist activities' after participating in pro-Ukrainian demonstrations and sentenced to 7 years of imprisonment in a Russian penal colony. As a result of a high-profile prisoner exchange, he was released in 2016. We are delighted to welcome him to Oxford to tell us about his struggles, captivity and ongoing activism.

International Film Society is showing one of Paradjanov's masterpieces, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.
Paradjanov, an Armenian director and one of the great cinematic geniuses of Soviet cinema, tells a simple Romeo-and-Juliette-like story set in the Ukrainian Carpathian mountains. In Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, the simple tale of the unrequited love of Ivan and Marichka serves to revolutionise the art of story-telling in cinema, showing astonishing originality through the use of music, cinematography and camerawork. The film is a hypnotising whirlwind of colour and sound set against a background of folklore and traditional tales, which seems to come to us from another world.

A new partnership has been agreed between the IUCN SSC Freshwater Plant Specialist Group (FPSG) and the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) that will improve wetland conservation and help save threatened plants.
Through the agreement, WWT will support the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission's (SSC) Freshwater Plant Specialist Group to further the research and conservation of wetland-dependant plants around the world, whilst benefitting from access to a wealth of specialist knowledge.
"Plants are fundamental building blocks of our wetlands and an increasing number of species are under threat, so I'm really pleased that we will be working closely with the FPSG," said Rob Shore, Head of Wetland Conservation at WWT.
"From managing our own wetlands, we know it is critical to create the conditions for native plants to thrive so they support the diversity of other life that is found in wetlands – from invertebrates right through to birds and mammals," continued Rob Shore. "If we get that right, the whole rich mix of wetland species largely falls into place. But if it goes wrong, the system rapidly falls apart, which is why, for instance, we are so concerned about the impact of non-native aquatic plants on the wildlife of our wetlands. This is a field that will really benefit from our new partnership."
The proposal by Richard Lansdown, Chair of the FPSG, to establish the Specialist Group was supported by the Fondation Tour du Valat and Plantlife International and was unanimously approved by the IUCN SSC. Richard is delighted that WWT has agreed to host the FPSG.
"Hosting by WWT will help the FPSG reach a wider audience, whilst the expertise of WWT staff will enable the FPSG to be better informed and more effective with practical conservation on the ground," said Richard Lansdown.
The FPSG will bring additional focus onto all vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, lichens and fungi which depend upon wetlands, from lakes, rivers and marshes to permanent and temporary ponds. As a collaboration of wetland scientists from more than 50 countries, including botanists, soil scientists, hydrologists, ecologists and geologists, the Specialist Group is encouraging people from all aspects of wetland conservation to consider becoming a member.
The IUCN SSC network is made up of scientists from all over the world, working together to conserve biodiversity. Sir Peter Scott, founder of WWT, was the first ever chair of the IUCN SSC when it was created in 1962 and conceived the Red Data Books which are the foundation of modern global conservation.
To this day WWT is closely involved in the IUCN SSC, chairing three Specialist Groups, on flamingos, ducks and threatened waterfowl, and now as host of the IUCN SSC Freshwater Plant Specialist Group.

Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
too bad anyone he knows will realize that that's his wife and therefore it's him...
mami me gustaria metertelo duro
name:felony foreplay
What's her name?
che troia lei puatttttttannnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa e bonazzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Wow, she's certainly enthusiastic.
All these are fakes for defs
quiero una chica asi para mi jejeje
Love it, goforit it. Let your wifes fuck others, they probably anyway I know mine tried to hide her affairs, so I opened the door and told her she could fuck anyone anytime, and she did not need to hide it we have a hot great sex life, And I still get a hard on thinking about her with another cock in her cunt, or comminghome with cum on her cunt and panties.
Felony. Mmmm one of my favorite set of tits in the world. Love when she says "fuck it lets go bareback." I would love to raw dog it in her pussy. The first video she ever did actually is increbibly fucking hot. She bounces her sweet ass on a huge cock and takes a great cumshot at the end on her tits which are moving so perfectly when she's fucked.
I have found a lot of couples who share their wifes with other men it is a big turn on for a guy to watch his wife being taken I know I took a few.
Sexy damn beast
This whole scenario is ridiculous....and the dude she fucks is a pro porn star....seen him in plenty of other films...
Wifey is soooo hot. I'd bareback her all day long every day. Or she could just jack me off and have her tits, glasses and lips covered with jizzum.
Hot Wives are best - I couldn't agree more with everything you said! I love my wife and she loves me, but sex can be separate from that, and it is soooo hot when she has fucked other guys. I pretty much gave her a free pass, and I've watched her fuck another guy and she has also fucked other guys without me on her own and then told me all about it later while jacking me off. She has kind of cooled to the idea in the past few years, but I have some great memories and it is still a huge turn on to me!
Felony Foreplay has to be the lamest name in the history of Porn!
This is an example from porn film makers showing women as property to be used in film to allow men to get off on it.
Yes i loved it
this is great
my wife would make me lick his cum off her tits and belly, then jack off while she watches and plays with her dildo
Isn't that Holly West?
wish she was my wife
If that was real,fuckin A !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that guy that wanted to know who would let there wife fuck other guys, I do and I love it so much watching a guy just power drive my wife after they are done its my turn to start licking there warm cum, then we fuck,don't knock it till you try it
she is one hot milf and I definitely would not mind a slice of her cake. i would do her all day long!
start out titty fuck then give it to her from behind, she can sit on my face anytime.
I want to cover those spex in spunk!!!

Paramus, N.J.-based Toys `R' Us will build an 836,000 sq. ft. distribution center in Midlothian, Texas. Fort Worth, Texas-based Woodmont Realty Associates represented both Toys `R' Us and TXI Real Estate, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Texas Instruments, in the sale of 93 acres at TXI Railport, a 1,700 acre development. Toys `R' Us is the park's second tenant.
The TXI Railport distribution facility will replace the toy retailer's distribution centers in Houston and Carrollton, Texas. The city of Midlothian, Ellis County and the Midlothian water district provided 100% property tax abatements for the first two years and 25% abatements for years three through nine. Construction is expected to begin this fall, with the facility operational by 2001.

Following the release of the second theatrical trailer for The Host, author Stephenie Meyer spoke with the press today on a conference call to talk about the book and the film. Among the topics of discussion, Saoirse Ronan's otherworldliness, Meyer's future projects, including a sequel for The Host, how Hanna influenced her decision to go with Saoirse Ronan as the lead, and how the originally intended love triangle became a love square.
The Host is Meyer's non-Twilight novel, which trades vampires for aliens and focuses a bit less on romance and more on a story of survival, focusing on a young woman who is among what's left of the human resistance on earth after the world has been taken over by body-snatching aliens. Saoirse Ronan plays the lead character Melanie, who is captured and eventually occupied by an alien "Soul" called Wanderer ("Wanda"). Melanie refuses to abandon her own mind when Wanda takes over, which puts two characters into one body and two separate species eventually growing to understand one another.
In case you missed it, here's the new trailer.
Spoiler alert: The transcript from the press call with Meyer contains some spoilers from the book (at least one reference to the ending). So if you haven't read it, keep that in mind as you read on.
What's more fun, aliens or vampires?
Well they each obviously have their appeal. I don't know. Strictly fun - you can have a lot of fun with vampires. There's just a little bit more of a - I don't know what the right… I don't want to say goof factor because obviously they take themselves very seriously. But there's the whole super hero aspect. They have different abilities. They can run fast and lift heavy things. The aliens are limited to being very human. So I think, just purely on fun, probably vampires. But the aliens, to me, feel like a more realistic fantasy.
What do you think, in particular, will appeal to the Twilight fans about The Host?
I feel like, if they like my style of storytelling, that is still the same. The story is very different, but there's always going to be romance. I wrote it, so there's definitely some romantic scenes. But there's also some really stellar performances. You've got to see William Hurt as Jeb. It's just really awesome. And Saoirse - she's not a household name, probably because no one can read her name right now. They will though. She's unbelievable. Just to watch her get to do this great of a performance where she has to play two people and really run with that is worth the price of admission for sure.
Is there anyone from the movie - any of the actors - that pulled off the performance that you think is really closest to how you pictured the character when you wrote the book?
Yeah, all of them did a pretty great job. The top honors have to go to Saoirse, particularly for her portrayal of Wanda. I think Melanie was a little bit easier for her because she kind of relates to that girl, but Wanda's not even human. And wow, does she create this person, this entity. And it really did, for me, most encapsulate this character, who really could look like anyone. So the looks aren't such a big thing, but she just has that other-worldly persona, where she is just alien. It's amazing.

- Because it is fun.
- Because it is relaxing.
- Because I love to combine fabrics together to make something beautiful.
This is a tricky question and I hope you don't mind the direction I'm going in today because I really need to start talking about this more. Talking about money, profit, and wealth makes many people uncomfortable, and if you aren't really into this idea, please feel free to check out designs today instead.
First off, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making money with your love of quilting.
Recently I posted my very strong feelings about this on The Bitchy Stitcher's site when she asked what she should do with the profits from a calendar she's producing. I practically shouted at her that making money is not a sin - not feeding your children or paying your mortgage, however, could get you thrown in jail!
Many, many quilters are in this hobby to make money. Longarmers, designers, and pretty much any professional quilter you meet has crossed from that place of quilting only for fun.
How do you think quilting has become a multi-billion dollar industry? Numbers of that kind get generated by people that are equally passionate about quilting as they are about bringing home the bacon.
Is this not the dream of so many creative people? To be able to do what you love, AND get paid for it as well? How could it be a bad thing when so many people dream and wish of exactly this life?
So no, it's not bad or uncouth or ugly or mean or any negative thing to want to do what you love and make money with it.
But...there is always a "but"....can you love your creative hobby as much when money gets involved?
Here's my personal experience: when I went to college, I started sewing a lot. I'd sewed a bit before, but mostly it was hand work. Now all of a sudden, I couldn't get enough of my sewing machine.
I started sewing so much, I dropped out of college (kind of inevitable when you stop attending class to make a skirt instead). I figured if I loved sewing so much, I could absolutely support myself with it.
But here's the catch - as soon as I started making things to sell, my joy at sewing started to diminish. I would page through patterns no longer with the intent to find a fun project, but to find something that someone else, some imaginary person, would like to buy.
How many times have you been told to design something like x, y, z because that is what is selling right now? How many times have you fiddled with a complicated pattern to make it more appealing to the masses?
I know it's a problem, and I'm ranting about it today because I'm currently pulling myself, fist by fist out of a huge, deep, black pit of Quilters Block. I haven't quilted ALL SUMMER. I haven't been ABLE to quilt.
I'm not lying. The last thing was binding on Hot Cast back in June. Until last week, I hadn't quilted in 9 weeks.
For someone who is as passionate, over-the-moon in love with quilting as I am, this is a catastrophic problem. Every time I walked into my studio, I walked back out again. Every time I started a project, I threw it in the trash. I simply could not work on anything. I couldn't find my usual happiness with it.
I found a lot of things to blame it on: a messy studio, lots of UFOs, lack of inspiration, etc, etc, etc. The truth is, I was overwhelmed with inspiration. Every day I would wake up with a new awesome project or idea bouncing around in my head.
But then I would sit down at the kitchen table and write down that idea, and then a thought would pop into my head "How does this pertain to the free motion quilting project? Will this go in a book? Will I make a video of it? Will I share it on the blog? Will I make a DVD of it? WHAT IS THE POINT?!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT??? DON'T YOU KNOW??? MAKE A PLAN!!!"
As you can probably tell, by the time I got downstairs I had a fully diagrammed, completely outlined plan for that project and all the possible ways we could make money with it or share it on this blog.
I also had utterly no desire to make that project now because I'd thoroughly ruined it.
I'm being this honest and sharing this experience because I really hope, if you are in a similar situation, you can avoid making this same mistake. This sucks.
I now believe that every time you dumb yourself down, every time you make something just to sell, every time you design something just for the sole intent of selling, not for the joy or creativity of it, you lose a bit of your magic.
I like to think of it like a magic meter from Zelda. We have a bar that stretches from our heart to our hands, and we need to be respectful of this bar.
No, I'm not saying to never mix your passion with your need to pay the bills. No, I'm certainly not saying to not try to make a living doing what you love. I'm also not saying that you can't regain your magic after messing it all up on commissioned pieces and the like.
What I am saying is this - finding a balance is tricky.
If you lean too far into the money pond, away from the living tree of crafting passion, you are very likely to fall straight out of that tree and splat face first into that pond. You'll have a lot of money, but you won't love, or find as much joy, in your craft.
Many people are perfectly fine with this trade off. I'm not.
I feel like I've just lost my best friend. I feel like I've been abandoned by the love of my life. I feel like I've divorced my hands from my heart and I have no magic meter. I can't stand this anymore, and something must be done.
Very luckily, I happen to have downloaded the right book to help me deal with this. I've been listening to Drive: the Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink.
Basically this book digs into different ways we are motivated. For simplicity's sake I'm just going to talk about Extrinsic and Intrinsic motivation. The book goes into much more detail and into FLOW, which I think is super, super important, but for now, let's just talk about these:
Extrinsic motivation is the drive to make money and achievements. A great example of an extrinsicly minded person would be to make quilts only to compete with and win the big prizes at quilt shows.
Intrinsic motivation is the drive to simply do what you love. Not for the money, not for the end result, not for the finished quilt, or the used up fabric. Not for ANY END RESULT. Intrinsic is internal. Quilting for the love and joy of stitching. Nothing more.
When I started this project back in 2009, the night I started it, I remember being filled with Intrinsic Motivation. That humming, thrumming energy of passion and excitement and edge-of-your-seat anticipation.
I was started this project without any knowledge of what would happen monetarily. I didn't know it would turn into a business. I didn't know I'd eventually be a self publisher. I didn't CARE about any of that stuff.
I just wanted to quilt every day for a year.
But the reality was, 2009 saw some pretty big shifts in our family and the stability of Josh's job. Even as early as a month after starting this intrinsically motivated project, it became apparent that we needed another source of income, and FAST!
And so the tide turned from intrinsic to extrinsic. The designs were still created and posted with the same intrinsic mindset, but other byproducts - the books, dvds, etc, began to dominate with an extrinsic motivation.
I'm trying to explain this clearly and I really hope it doesn't come off wrong. I had to build my business quickly to support my family. As my motivation shifted, so too did the focus and speed of this project.
Things change, sometimes extremely quickly, and motivations must shift, but I do regret losing that initial thrumming excitement I used to feel with every new design.
So what now? 2 years later, we have built a successful online quilt shop. Thanks to all of you, my wonderful readers, this project continues to grow and spread and reach new quilters.
I've had to be extrinsically motivated all this time because, well, we needed to be able to eat! If I couldn't pay my mortgage, I don't think this project would have lasted very long anyway...
But does this need to continue?
I almost feel like a little kid again asking "Can quilting be fun for me again, please?"
Can I just quilt? Can I just create and not worry if it looks good? Can I just experiment? Does everything have to look amazing and spectacular, or can I be real and show you my ugly stitches, my failed projects, my mistakes?
I want to return to intrinsic motivation and simply quilt for the joy of quilting. Not for any specific goal. Not even for the finished, bound, and beautiful quilt. Just to stitch for the joy of it.
Maybe this is high minded and silly and you're right now rolling your eyes at my naivety. Maybe there isn't a way to balance this kind of passion and business.
All I know is, I've got to try to get my groove back, otherwise it will be pretty silly to call myself a quilter who doesn't make quilts.
So the first step I'm taking is to make a quilt for a friend. This is a quilt that I have to finish in just 1 week, so I can't over think it. I can't obsess about it or turn it into a huge multifaceted project. I am taking photos as I work on it, and shooting videos where I can, but I'm not going out of my way to turn this into something it's not.
It is a gift. A gift I'm giving to myself to return my focus to what I love and a gift for this friend to show her how much I appreciate her. A gift, nothing less, and nothing more.
Here's to seeking and hopefully finding this balance between the need for money (gotta pay the bills) and the joy of quilting.

Re: Dairy industry petitions to put aspartame in milk....
I am allergic to aspartame, I think they better think a bit longer about this!
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
WASHINGTON (CN) - Dairy industry groups have asked the Food and Drug Administration to be able to put artificial sweeteners in milk, and not change the label, claiming that it is so consumers can "more easily identify its overall nutritional value".
The Food and Drug Administration is asking for data related to those sweeteners.
The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) filed a petition in 2009 requesting that the FDA amend its standard of identity for milk.
The petition asked the agency to allow the use of "any safe and suitable" sweetener for milk and asked to amend the standards of identity for 17 other milk and cream products.
Those products include sweetened condensed milk, whipping cream, yogurt and eggnog, which the groups say should be allowed to have "safe and suitable" sweeteners.
The groups request that the FDA "allow optional characterizing flavoring ingredients used in milk (e.g. chocolate flavoring added to milk) to be sweetened with any safe and suitable sweetener - including non-nutritive sweeteners such as aspartame."
FDA regulations currently only allow milk products to contain "nutritive sweeteners" (those with calories) which the agency generally recognizes as safe.
What could go wrong?
What next? A few "harmless alkaloids"?
I am allergic to aspartame, I think they better think a bit longer about this!
Well, what they're actually going for is to not label the product on the front as "diet" or "lo-cal", etc., because they feel that children won't be attracted to it. Aspartame still has to be put in the list of ingredients, (and a phenylalanine warning must be prominently displayed due to people who have PKU). One of the questions placed on the comment site is actually addressing a main issue, which is how easy will it be for consumers to find/recognize this information when the front label doesn't indicate any difference between this, and regularly sweetened dairy. BTW it's my understanding they're already doing this with ice cream.
With the crackdown on soda vending in schools, the way in for milk products is clear: Build on the demand for sweetened chocolate milk, but use artificial sweeteners to claim theirs is both a more nutritious product and one kids will accept. The hide-the-labeling antics are quite disturbing -- as if they want milk to be sweeter, even though the main nutritional concern is the fat content.
It's the sought permission to not label that makes me suspect an even-worse agenda -- such as a downgrade in milk production standards that makes milk less naturally sweet, thus requiring adulteration. Considering all the drugs they're able to give cows to fatten them up, I shudder to think what they're giving them now that's making lactose in need of support.
They even stated it very bluntly in their petition:
IDFA and NMPF request their proposed amendments to the milk standard of identity to allow optional characterizing flavoring ingredients used in milk (e.g., chocolate flavoring added to milk) to be sweetened with any safe and suitable sweetener—including non-nutritive sweeteners such as aspartame. IDFA and NMPF state that the proposed amendments would promote more healthful eating practices and reduce childhood obesity by providing for lower-calorie flavored milk products. They state that lower-calorie flavored milk would particularly benefit school children who, according to IDFA and NMPF, are more inclined to drink flavored milk than unflavored milk at school. As further support for the petition, IDFA and NMPF state that the proposed amendments would assist in meeting several initiatives aimed at improving the nutrition and health profile of food served in the nation's schools. Those initiatives include state-level programs designed to limit the quantity of sugar served to children during the school day.
I'm sure that the dairy industry has nothing but the best interests of the targeted consumers (children) in this effort (snark tag).

More IAC Trouble: Report Documents Gross Underrepresentation of At-Risk Populations
March 3, 2011
AIDS activists at IAC 2012.
The International AIDS Conference, the world's largest meeting of people working to stop the spread of HIV, fails miserably at addressing the challenges faced by groups most impacted by the virus, including men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, sex workers, and drug users.
That is the disturbing bottom line of a report released Thursday by the Global Forum on MSM & HIV.
Research indicates that in nearly every country these four groups are at higher risk for HIV infection than the general population. For years, however, activist groups, including the Global Forum on MSM & HIV, the International Network of People Who Use Drugs, and the Global Network of Sex Work Projects, have said that these populations are grossly underrepresented at the biennial convention.
The release of the report only intensifies concern that marginalized populations will be left out of the conversation at the 2012 conference in Washington, D.C. Strict U.S. visa policies on entry for sex workers and drug users have AIDS activists worried that many individuals will be shut out, further limiting the conference's diversity.
"Ostensibly, the IAC offers chances for local health care providers to learn ways to improve their services, provides channels for advocates to engage in dialogue with powerful decision-makers, and creates opportunities for community members to shape global funding and research agendas," said Dr. Mohan Sundararaj, policy associate at MSMGF, in the announcement of the study's release. "This really is a phenomenal platform, but how useful can it be when those who need it most are locked out?"

What is a stock?
Error creating thumbnail
|This article is a part of Wikinvest's Personal Finance section and Guide to Investing. Please contribute or edit to improve it.
]ASF==What is a stock?==
A stock is an ownership share in a corporation. [1] Each of these shares denotes a part ownership for a shareowner, stockholder, or shareholder, of that company. Stocks are traded on exchanges all over the world, the largest is the New York Stock Exchange or NYSE. Stocks are identified by their ticker symbol. For example, General Electric is identified as GE. Investors can buy a share in companies, or a share of a diversified global portfolio of stocks. Individual Investors can purchase shares for themselves, at a brokerage of their choice, or direct from the company, wherever they have an account set up.
There are different types of shares, common, preferred and unlisted. Most shareholders purchase common stock. The goal is for capital appreciation, as well as income from interest, and dividends, so the investor can have a profit that beats monies in Treasury bills or beats inflation. Over time, stocks have outperformed cash and bonds; this takes into account depressions, world wars, and other world changing events. Stocks automatically adjust for the inflation of the currencies.
14c Stocks were instruments of punishment. [2] The original Stock Market was a fish and meat market in the City of London on or near the later site of Mansion House, so called perhaps because it occupied the site of a former stocks. Stocks "subscribed capital of a corporation" is from 1610s, Place where securities are bought and sold 1809. [3]
12c Markets were a place to meet at a fixed time for buying and selling livestock and provisions, to trade, deal in, buy, wares, merchandise, public building or space where markets are held" first attested mid-13c. Sense of "sales, as controlled by supply and demand" is from 1680s, market research is from 1926. [4] Stock exchange is attested from 1773. [5]
Common stock, also known as ordinary shares and common shares of stock, grant the shareholder a proportion of the company's dividends, voting rights, and earnings growth. Shares that are traded and bought by retail investors are usually shares of common and preferred stock. When an investor purchases shares of common stock, they are essentially becoming an owner in the equity of the company. In the event of a liquidation or bankruptcy of a company, the common stock shareholder is one of the last creditors paid. Common stocks often are divided into different classes such as Class A and Class B stock. Typically the Class A shares have voting rights while the Class B shares do not. Different share classes may also represent a fraction of a corresponding stock with a different share class (ex. Class B shares trade at 1/30th the price of Class A shares).
All owners, have the responsibility to vote for the board of directors, CFO, and the CEO.
Preferred stock is special stock sold to particular institutions or individuals that grant the holder priority over common stock holders in terms of dividends and bankruptcy claims. The drawback is that preferred stocks usually have no voting rights. The price of preferred stock in a company will usually differ from the price of common stock, a reflection of its different rights and privileges.
Preferred stock can either be cumulative or noncumulative. A cumulative preferred stock requires that if a company fails to pay any dividend or any amount below the stated rate, it must make up for it at a later time. Dividends accumulate with each passed dividend period, which can be quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. When a dividend is not declared in time it is said that the dividend has "passed" and all passed dividends on a cumulative stock is a dividend in arrears. A stock that doesn't have this feature is known as a noncumulative or straight preferred stock and any dividends passed are lost forever if not declared.
Unlisted stocks are not listed on any stock exchange and may be common, or preferred. They are purchased in direct placements from the issuer of the stocks, or in the secondary market. The nature of a trading market in non-listed securities cannot be predicted. However, such stocks sometimes carry higher yields, or greater protection, than would be typically available for publicly offered stocks of the same type. On the other hand, non-publicly traded stocks are sometimes subject to restrictions on resale and the market for their resale is less liquid than for publicly traded stocks. There is no active market in non-listed stocks. [6]

Us Now about Government 2.0 and much more
Just finished watching the movie/documentary 'Us Now'. Really enjoyed it and would like to encourage you to take time to watch it too (1 hour).
I thought 'Us Now' would 'only' be about government 2.0, which is interesting enough, but it's actually about the relevance of the web 2.0 movement for 'everything'. What does it mean for life in general, for organizations, and also for government?
While watching I tweeted the remarks I found most interesting and wanted to remember.
Hope you enjoy it too!

This week we're talking about the Milla Jovovich starring thriller, "The Fourth Kind".
If you've seen the trailer for "The Fourth Kind" you know the whole gimmick, if you can call it that, behind the film is that it's suppose to be based on actual events. So it's no surprised that a five minute featurette has gone online exploring alien encounters.
"Paranormal Activity" continues to flex its muscles as it soundly beats "Saw VI" in it's fifth week. Whether that speaks to the amazingness of "PA" or the mediocrity of "Saw"...well you'll have to listen to this week's podcast to find out!
If Milla Jovovich's new thriller "The Fourth Kind" has caught your eye, the studio has relased a new featurette called "Abduction" that helps ramp up the chills.
There's a new Nic Cage thriller on the market and here's the trailer for "Season of the Witch". I don't know if the plot is scary or not, but Cage's hair is positively frightening.
Kevin Smith gives an update on his pending foray into horror with "Red State. Currently, they're stuck for investors and still need a cast.
If you were offended by that recent sex-ed campaign featuring Hitler, I'm guessing "The Final Solution" isn't going to be up your alley. You'll find the poster at the link, although I'm not sure who is going to want to hang that baby on their wall.
Casting on "The Crow" reboot should be starting soon.
New poster for "The Fourth Kind" reveals what "The Fourth Kind" stands for. I'm pretty excited for this one.
This "True Blood" jewelry in HBO's online store might help explain why I have no interest in watching "True Blood".
Joey, you can keep your angels and demons, because aliens will always creep me out even more.

Orange Ricotta Pillows with Lillet Kumquat Compote
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: When I was in school a few years ago, one of my favorite desserts we made that took me completely by surprise was a ricotta pie topped with a tangle of candied kumquats. It was that perfect balance of sweet and well, not so sweet, for me. So when I taught a crepe - making class last winter I decided to turn it into a crepe. It's since gone through a few different permutations, and this is my favorite. The kumquats are simmered in a mixture of Lillet, honey, agave nectar, cardamom seeds and cinnamon, and perfectly set off the crepe and its ricotta orange filling. Everything can be made in advance and assembled minutes before serving. But remember to interleave the crepes with wax paper or parchment so they don't stick together, and just reheat the Lillet Kumquat Sauce before spooning over the crepes. —TheWimpyVegetarian
Food52 Review: WHO: ChezSuzanne is based in the Bay Area and enjoys her "second career" as a cooking teacher after a lifelong love of cooking, growing, and eating food.
WHAT: Delicate crepes stuffed with ricotta cream and topped with a complex compote that's as easy as simmering with sliced kumquat.
HOW: The crepe batter is a breeze -- you just blend it! And there's no fussy plating, since ChezSuzanne has us simply fold the filling into packages before finishing with a drizzle of syrup.
WHY WE LOVE IT: The creamy ricotta-orange filling contrasts beautifully with the nutty crepes and the herbal notes of the Lillet-kumquat compote. Plus, you can cook everything ahead of time and assemble the pillows just before serving -- now that's smart. —The Editors
Makes: 8 crepe shells; filling and compote for 4
Orange Crepes
cup (4.5 ounces) all-purpose flour
cup sugar
pinch salt
large egg
cup milk
cup warm water
teaspoon orange zest
teaspoon vanilla extract
tablespoons melted butter
- Using either a blender or whisk, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the egg; if using a whisk, make a well and place the egg in it. Whisk the egg and flour mixture together.
- Add half of the milk and mix / whisk until a thick batter forms. Add the remaining milk, the warm water, zest, and vanilla extract. Mix / whisk until the batter is completely smooth. Mix / whisk in the melted butter.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, preferably longer (up to 24 hours).
- Remove from the refrigerator, and whisk the batter if it has separated. Heat a non-stick pan with sloping sides over medium heat. Coat the pan lightly with butter or with a paper towel dipped lightly in oil.
- When the pan is hot, pour in a small amount of batter using a measuring cup or ladle. Use 1/8 cup of batter for a 6 - 7" pan or ¼ cup of batter for a 9 – 10" pan. Immediately start to tilt the pan to allow the batter to cover the bottom of the pan evenly in a thin layer.
- Cook for about 1 minute, or until the crepe bottom turns a golden brown. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds, until the crepe is golden on the second side.
- Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate. If stacking crepes for longer than an hour, interleave crepes with parchment or wax paper, slip into a ziplock and refrigerate. Crepes also freeze great!
- Lay a crepe out and spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons Ricotta Filling into the middle, molding it into a flat square. Fold the right side of the crepe over the filling; fold the left side over the filling, laying it on top of the first side that was folded over. Fold up the bottom, and the top down, forming a little packet. Repeat for the rest. Place on plates and spoon the Lillet Kumquat Compote over the little crepe packets / pillows.
- Take a sip of Lillet. And then another. And try to say Lillet Kumquat Compote fast 3 times in a row....Kidding :-) If you can do it even once, you're a better woman than I.
Ricotta Filling and Lillet Kumquat Compote
cup ricotta cheese, well drained
cup softened cream cheese or mascarpone cheese
tablespoon agave nectar
teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt
Zest of half of an orange
cups Lillet
cup honey
tablespoons agave nectar
tablespoons candied ginger, minced
seeds from 6 cardamom pods, crushed with a mortar and pestle
cinnamon stick
pinch salt
ounces kumquats, thinly sliced and seeded
- Make the Ricotta Filling: Combine the first 6 ingredients (through the orange zest) in a small bowl and mix well.
- Make the Lillet Kumquat Compote: Combine the remaining ingredients except the kumquats together in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced kumquats and continue to simmer for 30 minutes, or until the kumquats are softened translucent.

Mississippi's third white-tailed deer gun hunting season will open Dec. 24 through Jan. 17.
Hunting with dogs is allowed during this season. Legal deer include either-sex on private lands and legal bucks only on open public lands. Open public lands may include National Forests and Corps of Engineers lands that have statewide seasons without special regulations.
For seasons and bag limits on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), please see the individual WMA regulations at www.mdwfp.com/wma.
Hunters are urged to practice good hunter ethics and follow all safety precautions to avoid hunting and firearm-related accidents. When hunting deer during any gun season on deer, a hunter must wear in full view at least five hundred square inches of solid unbroken fluorescent orange. This requirement does not apply while the hunter is in a fully enclosed deer stand.
All persons born on or after Jan. 1, 1972, are required to complete a hunter education course before purchasing a Mississippi hunting license. Each resident of Mississippi age 16 through 64 must obtain a hunting license, except while hunting on lands titled in his/her name. Any resident 65 or older, or any resident otherwise exempt from obtaining a hunting license, must have documentation with him/her at all times while hunting.
All non-resident hunters, except minors under the age of 16, are required to obtain a hunting license while hunting in Mississippi. In addition to any required hunting license, purchase of a Wildlife Management Area User Permit is required prior to hunting on any Wildlife Management Area.

Derick Brassard scored twice, including New York's first power-play goal in 10 games, and the Rangers avoided elimination with a 5-1 victory over the host Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Friday night.
Brassard ended New York's 0-for-36 slide with the man advantage by beating Marc-Andre Fleury late in the first period. Ryan McDonagh added another power-play goal in the second to help the Rangers force Game 6 in New York on Sunday.
Chris Kreider and Kevin Klein also scored, and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 31 shots.
Evgeni Malkin had his third goal of the series for Pittsburgh. Fleury made 30 saves but lacked the crispness that allowed the Penguins to win Games 3 and 4 in New York.
Pittsburgh Coach Dan Bylsma stressed the importance of not letting the Rangers back in the series, but the fire he was looking for came from the other bench.
Part of the jolt came from the presence of forward Martin St. Louis. The veteran arrived in Pittsburgh just hours before faceoff after spending the night in Montreal following the unexpected death of his mother, France.
St. Louis told his teammates his mother would have wanted him on the ice. He played 16 minutes and watched the line of Brassard, Mats Zuccarello and Benoit Pouliot rediscover the success they enjoyed against Pittsburgh in the regular season and the series opener.
The linemates, who powered the Rangers to victory in Game 1, combined for seven points (two goals, five assists) to give New York a chance to buck team history. The Rangers have never rallied to win a series after trailing 3-1. Instead of panicking, they went out and executed against the decidedly sloppy Penguins.
at Minnesota 4, Chicago 2: Jason Pominville scored in the second period off the back of Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford's skate and the Wild evened the Western Conference semifinal series at two games apiece.
Matt Cooke returned from his seven-game kneeing suspension to give Minnesota a jolt, assisting on Justin Fontaine's opening goal. Nino Niederreiter and Jared Spurgeon also scored.
Crawford made 27 saves, but he gave up four goals for the second straight game.
Patrick Sharp snapped out of his slump by scoring for the Blackhawks and Michal Handzus had a goal, but the defending Stanley Cup champions again found themselves unable to establish a consistent attack against the Wild's stifling defense.

In 1942, she married Manuel Cunha Jr. and they moved to Jamestown. Helen lived in Jamestown for the next 70 years, raising her family and was a communicant of St. Mark Church. For years she was active in the Rosary Sodality at St. Mark. Soon she returned to work with a position at the Jamestown-Newport Ferry office in Jamestown.

After her retirement, she and her husband spent winters in West Palm Beach, Fla., and enjoyed traveling extensively. Helen was proud to be living independently in her home well into her 90s, and enjoyed time at the Jamestown Senior Center.
