Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, looks good, plenty of nifty features
"Style and plenty of substance.
The Samsung RR35H66107F tall fridge has plenty of space for all our family needs and comes with an abundance of features.
Some of my favourite features are:
*A Brita water dispenser than requires no plumbing - cooled fitered water has never been easier.
*Power Cool button - speed up the time it takes to cool items in the fridge (ideal for freshly bought shopping).
*Retractable Shelf - use as a full sized shelf or retract to store taller bottles etc
*Deli drawer - great for storing sandwich fillings, sliced ham etc or foods that need to be cooked soon
*Vacation Lock - When going on holiday it will set the temperature to 15C to minimize power consumption and keep it free from bacteria and odour.
We couldn't help but be impressed with the fridge, it's stylish looks, modern features but most of all the amount of room for storage makes it ideal for our family. What's more the stainless steel door is very easy to clean of unwanted fingerprints.
Samsung have come up trumps with this fridge - we love it."

"We received our Samsung fridge. It was very well packed and well protected.
It was relatively straight forward to unpack and easily set up.
Size is good, with plenty of storage and it is very streamlined so it fits easily in the kitchen. It is also pleasing on the eye.
There are some really amazing features such as…..
There is always fresh water at the touch of a lever; all you have to do is fill the water container inside the door.
The control panel makes it easy to adjust the temperature. If you want it cooler you simply activate the power cool button and that speeds up the cooling in the refrigerator.
Love the feature - automatic defrost. This stops ice build-up in the fridge so there is never a mess.
Another great feature is the retractable shelf. This allows extra storage for taller bottles of drink / wine bottles – very nifty.
The fridge is very economical to run and has an A+ energy rating. It also has a 10 year warranty for peace of mind.
We are really happy and impressed with the fridge."

"The Samsung RR35H66107F is a fantastic appliance,it's energy efficient, has a large capacity & is very stylish.
The Fridge itself has lots of shelving space some of which "fold" to house larger items like bottles, there is two salad drawers & a separate smaller drawer to house deli items. I love the large panelled led light so nice and bright for those midnight snacking occasions!
I love the water dispenser , very easy to use and refill and a bonus is that it does not need to be plumbed in! It also has a lock on the dispenser itself which is handy in case you have little curious people in your household! :) Another great feature is the option to speed up the cooling time for a couple of hours which I use when I've been shopping to get the food back to a cold temperature.
Overall the fridge is a fantastic all rounder with the added bonus of looking sleek and stylish and having all of the best modern technology, the led front display makes it easy to set up and use and to change temperatures and features.
I would defiantly recommend this Fridge to anyone"

|June 13-16, 2013: Northern Ink Xposure, Toronto
If you're going to the Northern Ink Xposure in Toronto, keep an eye out for some of my creatures. I'll be displaying work along with a gang of local dark artists as part of the Canadian Alternative Art Collective, and early birds can catch their first glimpse of all ghouish gorgeousness on Thursday June 13th for the opening night party.

|Aug 22-25th 2013: FANEXPO/Festival of Fear
It's almost time to be part of the insanity that takes place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre event August, and once again I'll be there.
Track me down in Artist Alley at table A62. That's the back left corner of the South building. Might be more confusing this year, since they are using both the North and South building for the convention. North building will have celebrities and the new...sports section...*blank stare*...and the south building will have all the cool stuff. Er, I should say, the south building will have Artist Alley, Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear, Science Fiction, Comics and Anime sections.
Hope to see you there! Never been? Read on...
"Now entering its 19th year, Fan Expo Canada showcases over 900 exhibitors and sprawls over 750,000 square feet of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre!Considered by many to be the 'Comic Con' of Canada, Fan Expo Canada™ humbly began as the Canadian National Comic Book Expo in 1995. Growing from one genre with 1500 fans to a multifaceted show connecting over 90,000 fans, Fan Expo Canada™ is currently the 3rd largest pop culture event in North America!"
To see all the fun that's happening, check out the official FanExpo website.
And plan ahead! If you're not getting a weekend pass (even if you are), here's some things that might help you plan your visit.
1) Buy your tickets ahead of time.
2) Saturday is insane. I don't leave my table on Saturday if I don't have to because the crowds are shoulder to shoulder packed. So if you aren't coming for a workshop, or need to be there for a certain celebrity time slot, I suggest coming on one of the other days.
3) If you like art and, like me, your favourite section is Artist Alley, don't wait until Sunday afternoon to pick up a one-of-a-kind piece. I can't count the amount of times I've heard people lament missing out on an item at my table or another artist's table. Often, these folk return the following year, on the first day, and head straight to Artist Alley saying things like "I missed out on (blank) last year and I was determined to come here first so I could get my pick!". (By the way, I love those people. Those people are aces).
Also, if you really DO love Artist Alley, then spend your money there, even if it's only $10. People don't realize it, but a number of folks who rent a table in Artist Alley lose money at the event. So far *touch wood* I've done well and I am so appreciative of the faithful collectors who brave the insanity and find me in the chaos. So if you see an artist that you dig, and you want them to return next year, buy something. Anything. Support local art!
|Next Show: Art-O-Con in Burlington on May 5th '13
Art-O-Con 2 (The Wrath of Con) on Sunday, May 5th 2013 in Burlington, Ontario.
Doors open at 11:00 am and close 9:00pm. Admittance is $5 (children under 12 are free).
Holiday Inn
3063 S Service Rd.
Burlington, ON
Check out the facebook event page above, or go to the main Art-O-Con page for previews of participating artists. Expect to find everything from life-size Daleks roaming around, to Krampus goodies for sale, not to mention some amazing illustrators and one-of-kind sculptors. Add a little Fangoria for flavouring, some storm troopers, and finally some Ghost Busters, and I think we've got ourselves a party here.
|Show Season Finished Until 2013
Thanks to everyone who made this year so successful for me online and at local shows.
I'm done for the season but will be popping up around Toronto next year.
In the meantime, check my Etsy Shop between now and Christmas for any items you missed at the shows.
Now I'm off to try and put together final touches for Halloween around the house. Will be posting pictures of decorations soon! Happy Halloween folks.
|"Lucky 13" Etsy Sale Until Oct 13th
From now until October 13th, my Etsy store is open. I'll be adding items this first week of September.
As a bonus for my online readers, the first 6 people who buy an item from the shop and mention "ZOMBIE!" gets a little surprise.
|Show: Bazaar of the Bizarre Oct 21st
Come to the Bazaar of the Bizarre, a marketplace for all things exotic, whimsical and macabre! Local artists - indie, goth, lowbrow and the Halloween inspired - will gather for the annual event.
When: Sunday October 21st 2012
Where: Pia Bowman ballet school, 6 Noble St Toronto (just north from Queen St, west of Dufferin)
Time: 11am - 8pm
FREE to attend! Child and costume friendly.
It's one of my favourite events of the season. Be sure to come by my table and say hello!
|FanExpo & Festival of Fear August 2012
From August 23 to August 26 I'll be in the artist alley section of FanExpo in Toronto at table A45.
Normally I word my announcements with things like "I'll see you at Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear!" but uh...I'm not sure if that's applicable this time around. While our group of indie artists is technically sorted as Horror within artist alley (and as such, we are usually close to the Horror section), as you can see from the floor plan they've moved us as far away from the Horror section as physically possible this year.
So come on out to the far edge of the convention this month. The badlands, if you will. Think of it as a quest, where instead of fighting trolls and monsters, you have to navigate through teenagers dressed up in Anime costumes, avoiding "free hugs" at every turn.
|Visit Me At Scarefest 2012 on July 7! *updated*
I will be a vendor at Scarefest this summer, a haunter's
"Scarefest gives you an opportunity to exchanges ideas with fellow Haunters and maybe take home a few new ideas to go with the new friendships you've made. In attendance will be Owners and Operators of Professional Haunted Houses, Actors, Home Haunters, Artists, Halloween Enthusiasts and Vendors.Enjoy a BBQ, Door Prizes, and Contests for: Ms. & Mr. Scarefest and Best Homemade Prop. Admission is FREE, however we are asking for a Donation to the Sick Kids Foundation."

12:00 noon – 6:00 pm
New Location!

The Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, resulted in unprecedented radioactivity releases from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plants to the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Results are presented here from an international study of radionuclide contaminants in surface and subsurface waters, as well as in zooplankton and fish, off Japan in June 2011. A major finding is detection of Fukushima-derived 134Cs and 137Cs throughout waters 30–600 km offshore, with the highest activities associated with near-shore eddies and the Kuroshio Current acting as a southern boundary for transport. Fukushima-derived Cs isotopes were also detected in zooplankton and mesopelagic fish, and unique to this study we also find 110mAg in zooplankton. Vertical profiles are used to calculate a total inventory of ∼2 PBq 137Cs in an ocean area of 150,000 km2. Our results can only be understood in the context of our drifter data and an oceanographic model that shows rapid advection of contaminants further out in the Pacific. Importantly, our data are consistent with higher estimates of the magnitude of Fukushima fallout and direct releases [Stohl et al. (2011) Atmos Chem Phys Discuss 11:28319–28394; Bailly du Bois et al. (2011) J Environ Radioact, 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2011.11.015]. We address risks to public health and marine biota by showing that though Cs isotopes are elevated 10–1,000× over prior levels in waters off Japan, radiation risks due to these radionuclides are below those generally considered harmful to marine animals and human consumers, and even below those from naturally occurring radionuclides.
An ex-Asahi journalist put her thoughts about Fukushima into her blog.
However, although radioactive iodine quickly decays to undetectable levels, the risk to those exposed remains elevated for a lifetime, so the number of excess thyroid cancers will continue to climb, he added.
TOKYO (Kyodo) — The government said Thursday that a panel of experts has set a quantitative standard for approval of shipments of radioactive cesium-tainted gravel and crushed stones from quarries in Fukushima Prefecture, home of the crippled Fukushima complex.
"There may be a risk of developing cancer, but the risk is small. As long as we take care in selecting food, I think it's OK," said student Wataru Sugeno.
KAMAKURA, Kanagawa Pref. — Lingering concerns about radiation a year into the Fukushima nuclear crisis have prompted people even as far away as the Tokyo area, some 100 to 250 km from the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, to move away.
Asked to write in a free description section what Fukushima will be like in 30 years, the children's reactions were mixed. A second-year middle-school girl wrote, "It will be safe just like the days before the nuclear accident," while a second-year middle-school boy said Fukushima will be powered mainly by renewable energy. Those who aired pessimistic views said Fukushima would remain deserted or that radiation fears will persist.

Here's something different: An NBA hopeful who's about defense.
"I think it's more of a mental thing," said Vanderbilt wing Jeffery Taylor. "It's more about how you approach the game. I think a lot of guys nowadays don't really value defense. It's all about scoring, the highlight plays and whatnot. My dad always instilled in me a defensive mentality. You need to be prideful in what you do on the court, and part of having pride is not letting someone score on you."
Taylor was voted to the SEC's all-defense team three times, joining Mississippi State's Jarvis Varnado as the only players in league history to do so. He says he's been a "big fan of [Thabo] Sefolosha for a long time."
"I think defense is kind of like a lost art, almost," Taylor said. "If you look at Sefolosha in the playoffs, he's playing tremendous defense. He's making a lot of key plays for them. A wing defender that's good at what he does and can score the ball as well is a valuable asset."
Taylor's focus on defense has paid off. His potential at that end is what makes him a possible first-round pick in a league where perimeter scorers predominate and wing defenders are valuable.
Hawks assistant GM Dave Pendergraft said Taylor has the athleticism and basketball IQ to be an "above-average" defender but noted Taylor's prowess didn't jump out at him while watching video.
"He has that reputation of being one of the better defenders in the NCAA, and he looked like a good defender but it's not like he strikes fear in you," Pendergraft said. "We bring him here [for a workout] and watch his footwork and how quick he is, you can see it really up close. He's got really quick feet and he's very, very strong and very athletic.
"He is one of the better defenders in college basketball. Does it transfer over to the NBA? You'd like to think so because he does have quick feet and he has good size. I don't think there is a lot of negatives. He does have average length but there have been a lot of good defenders with average length if they a have quick feet but he understands the angles."
That's where the comparisons to Sefolosha and Taylor end. Taylor is shorter than Sefolosha and not nearly as long–he has a relatively short 6-6 wingspan.
On the plus side, Taylor is more athletic than Sefolosha and potentially a better shooter.
"The surprising things is how well he shoots it," Pendergraft said. "When you go from [22] percent to [43] percent as senior [on 3-pointers], he's made great strides shooting the ball. Towards the end of season at Vandy I expected it to go in. It was the same thing here [for workouts]. In all the shooting drills he was at a high percentage."
Even when Taylor wasn't making shots he was still an efficient scorer because of a good free-throw rate (in spite of a poor free-throw percentage. A DraftExpress.com analysis showed that Taylor was a high-efficiency, low-usage scorer in transition at Vandy.
Taylor had a high turnover rate, however, because he's a shaky ball-handler.
"It's definitely something I need to work on," he said. "That's probably one of my main focuses right now."
Taylor's dad, Jeff, was a guard at Texas Tech and played 56 games in the NBA before starting a career in Europe. Jeffery Taylor was born and raised in Sweden and came to the U.S. when he was 17; he has dual citizenship.
"That was a bit of a culture shock," he said. "The U.S. is a lot different from Sweden: culture, people, school. I was having a culture shock experience for the first five or six months but then I got used to it and it wasn't a big deal."

NBA TV just had a segment on Harison Barnes and said he will be atleast as good as Marvin Williams with Tracy McGrady upside.
This makes no sense at all. I am quoting that from NBA TV.
If someone wants Marvin Williams 2.0, they can pick up Marvin Williams for a draft pick or better, FOR FREE!!
June 26th, 2012
8:25 pm
There is always a place in the NBA for a perimeter defender who can shoot. Seems like a pretty safe pick, although maybe not the one with the most upside.

"Jamal Crawford was every bit a part of Portland's bad season as anybody there…"
I guess that's why Jamal took his starting job halfway thru the season, playing point guard,a position that everyone knows he should not play. SMH

8:36 pm
i like jeffery taylors stance on defense and pride. i do think, however, we can get a perimeter defender at #43 like darius miller that can be a solid role player for us in his first year and that would allow us to get a prospect for the future with a lot of potential at #23. someone will fall to #23 as random players will get drafted no1 expects i.e OLB Bruce Irvin by SEA Seahawks pick #15 in this past NFL draft. so im sure some teams ahead of us might make a surprise foreign pick or someone not really tauted as a 1st round player.
June 26th, 2012
8:41 pm
He's a guy I really like. He could immediately fill a role as a solid defender while becoming a dependable perimeter shooter. At 23 that's pretty good value. I think he could potentially give us what Marvin does fairly quickly. Even though Marvin is taller and longer, he seems to hunch over most of the time and doesn't seem to play to his length imo.

Melvin, Charlotte got a first round pick for next year's draft in the deal as well. Detroit will not be a playoff team. So Charlotte just picked up an extra lottery pick in a draft that will be very deep next season. So to go along with last year's pick in Walker, they have a good pick this season, and two coming next year.

I absolutely love Miles Plumlee as a sleeper. He averaged 7 and 7 (not the drink you alcoholics) playing only 20 mins at Duke. (Coach K?) He measured almost an inch and a half taller than D12 did in shoes (6′ 11 3/4″)and he had a 34″ inch standing vertical and a 40 1/2″ max vertical (one of the best ever for a 7 footer). Notice guys don't start great defensive positioning and taking charges in the NBA, they start in college. The Heat just showed you don't need Mutombo in the middle and I know DF will get the right coach in here. This guy will play well and not need the ball (basically the Anti-Smoove).

Just tuned in the NBA Combine on ESPN. Caught Wroten shooting the last 3 racks of 3pt shots. I say he was at least 50-60%. However, he does not look like a natural shooter at all but I can see him playing some SG with his size and skill set….

ESPN reported Houston is looking to trade for Josh Smith in an effort to acquire D12. I wonder if Dalembert and Lowry for Josh would be a good trade? The salaries match really well.
They then trade their 3 first picks and maybe Scola and other young pieces to Orlando for Dwight.
Maybe it works for them, maybe it doesn't.
And if Budinger pulls in a #18 pick (the 'Wolves also get the rights to some guy I've never heard of – but he may be good, I just don't know) – Marvin should be worth the #24 pick of the Cavs, the 30th and maybe the 35th pick of the Warriors, or the #33 and 34 picks of the Cavs.
Let the other team have the rights to Gladyr, Akoyl, and a bag of chips also.

Brigadeir Jerry – I'm not HS, but I would say Jason Terry over his career. I think Jamal may be a little younger, so Jamal maybe right now.
I was never for the Jason Terry trade from the Hawks…

Marvin Williams is the key to our cap space future really, in a sense – if you can dump him – and I think GSW and the Cavs can absorb his contract, and get a decent pick, our cap space looks like:
JJ – 22 mill average
Al – 12 mill
Josh – 15 mill
ZaZa – 6 mill
Teague – 6 mill
That's 61 mill – for 5 players – the rest of it is survivable. But realistically, I think the Hawks ditch Josh moving forward. But I have no idea who or what they get for him.

Funny we talk about how terrible Jamal is on this blog, how he wouldn't have made a difference against the Celts, and that he plays no D, and the Celts are all about D etc.
But it's being reported that the Celts are interested in Jamal. Somebody in Beantown likes him

I wonder if Dalembert and Lowry for Josh would be a good trade?
No, that would be a GREAT trade. A top 10 PG still in his prime and a serviceable center with above average shotblocking ability? Two starters for Josh? Move Teague to a SMOY candidate role (like Lou Williams) and allow him to stop worrying about being a pure PG and just let him loose for around 28 minutes/game? Yeah, that would be a very nice trade. But they will likely try to hold on to Lowry, Martin and 2 of their 3 picks for D12.
Miller seems to be moving down in several mock drafts. I wonder if his leg is an issue. Taylor's upside is his ability to improve his dribble and become an Afflalo type player. It would be dangerous to put him in the backcourt if his handle is weak and he may not be big enough to even annoy Lebron, Granger, Pierce, Melo or Deng (dang, there are some high-powered SFs in our conference).
June 26th, 2012

I'm not sure that a Jeff Taylor/Darius Miller combination at the 3 doesn't give you about what Marvin gives us.

I've never seen Wroten play… his jumper would need to be seriously broken to hold that against him at the bottom of the 1st round. A ton of guys enter the league with a shaky jumper. The list is far too long to even get started (although Billups comes to mind). My guess is there are other concerns. At 6′6″ with reputed strong defensive and passing skills… that just seems like a guy worthy of serious consideration. And he is part of the last group of workouts, so he gets to leave an impression with the new boss a day or so before the draft.

i agree with u with terry. i have asked hi-sider this question three time he has yet to answer but oh well.
yeah terry shouldve never got traded but coach and team was a mess back then

AJ – But you know, Scola, KMart, 3 mid level 1st rounders and maybe some other filler for D12 is a pretty good deal for the Magic.
Especially if Dwight is just a 1 year rental.
But I could see Houston, if they really wanted D12, giving us Lowry and Dalembert for Josh.
Lang Greene has been saying look to Houston to trade Josh for ages.
I could deal with a team of:
Pretty solid and well balanced.
June 26th, 2012
10:14 pm
If Houston pulled off those 2 trades, re-signed Dragic and Lee, they have a team of:
With Patrick Patterson, Chandler Parsons and some other guys – that is not a bad team.
June 26th, 2012
10:14 pm
I heard Houston might to move try Lowry as well, they have goran dragic. I'd hate to see smith go but the Hawks need to shake up the roster i'd see JJ or Marvin leave
June 26th, 2012
10:14 pm
if josh or horford get traded before season shows hawks are changing course. lets face it sometimes time to move on when a group such as this is together too long without any tangible results.
i also dont see if josh is traded some big decrease in fan attendance because josh is traded and josh is considered most popular player. i think depending on type of moves it will bring some life to fanbase
June 26th, 2012
10:21 pm
Im not a big fan of Taylor's. Its a good video on youtube showcasing his handle and it is not pretty. He cant create his own shot. Its a good scouting video of him on youtube. Its also on draftexpress. His shooting percentages off the dribble was really really low. A lot of mocks have him falling to the second. Im not a fan of the center from Vandy either. A lot of mocks think he might be available in the second round too because of his injury history and terrible hands. He was also a poor rebounder
If Harkless falls thats who the Hawks should take. If he is gone then take Q Miller. I would love Cunningham in the second round.

I would trade Marvin for MWP straight up, but I wouldn't include the #23. MWP may be a serial criminal or whatever, but on a team full of nice guys, that may not be a bad thing.
It may not be a bad thing, but he's no help to his team while he's serving suspensions for assault.
June 26th, 2012

Dragic is a free agent so the Rockets might not be willing to trade Lowry because they dont know if they can bring Dragic back.
June 26th, 2012

Mickael Petrus and Brandon Roy could solidify this bench for 3 years. Both are superb "Team Players"
PG Steve Nash/Teague/Machado
SG Joe Johnson/T-Mac
SF Petrus/Roy/Marvin
PF Thomas Robinson/ivan Johnson
C Zsa Zsa/Meyers Leonard

Dang, MC's been a bloggin' fool this week. I can't get caught up with one before he shuts it down and moves on to the next. Not saying that's a bad thing–just a bit different from customary.

People not showing up to games if Josh is traded has become some sort of myth on here. People didnt come to games when the Hawks won 50 games. They didnt come when the Hawks had one of the best home records in the league. Even the Nique years has become a myth. I think someone posted the numbers once and the attendance was pretty much the same after the Nique trade but let some guys on here tell it folks stopped coming because Nique was no longer here which isnt true at all.
June 26th, 2012
10:43 pm
I am so sick of hearing the Josh talk. Give me Carmelo for Joe and actually get a scorer in here. 22 mil for a guy that averages 19 pts a game is stupid and as far as that goes Marv and his 8 pts a game could go as well. Joe is the albatross around the hawks mech not Josh( one of the leagues better defenders). Carmelo and the nicks don't see eye to eye and we need a scorer. Ou defense is fine until you remove Josh.
June 26th, 2012
10:47 pm
@ SteveW
I agree with you, getting rid of Marvin is the key to the Hawks having cap flexibility. I think Ferry might hold off on a Josh trade wanting to learn the team a bit more before making any big moves.
As I have stated in previous blogs and as the Ben Gordon trade confirms, the only way to dump Marvin is to include an asset in the deal which might would be a future 1st rd pick.
One deal I would consider is:
Marvin for Jamal and a No.1 draft pick next year Jamal would give us a scorer off the bench and makes 3 million less which can go toward signing another quality player.
June 26th, 2012

"So Charlotte just picked up an extra lottery pick in a draft that will be very deep next season."
That pick is lottery protected next season. The protection steadily erodes after that until 2016 when it is unprotected. So chances are Charlotte is going to get that pick 2 or 3 years from now.

@Just Joe
"High-sider….Crawford opts out before free agency, so Hinrich can't be used.
When it comes to Hinrich….Lakers need a PG. A Hinrich sign and trade for part of the Odom trade exception and a future pick would be outstanding." – Just Joe @7:16pm dated 6/26/2012
Just Joe, thanks for the info.
"re: Blazers "failed experiment" Ray Felton…..
Jamal Crawford was every bit a part of Portland's bad season as anybody there…" – donte080 @7:43pm dated 6/26/2012
So what would you call Kirk Hinrich's regular and post season scoring averages of 6.6ppg and 5.7ppg for the 2011-2012 campaign – "all that and a bag of chips"? No, you wouldn't. If you (donte080) were (to be) honest, his (Hinrich's) regular and post season performances this past season were lackluster at best.

@ cp
Harkless didn't show up for his workout with us because he got a promise from another team. We'd likely have to trade up for him.
June 26th, 2012
11:59 pm
Why is everybody so eager to break up this team?! The team played more consistently this season; the fatal flaw was not being able to maintain structure when they faced the top teams in the league. They especially had issues when games were close late because the two top talents fell back on bad habits: Iso-Joe for Johnson, long two-pointers from Smith. The Hawks need an on-court leader.
I am trying to state the case for Andre Miller. He is what the Hawks need and this link from the Bleacher Report says it almost better than I can. Mark Bradley- float this idea to Danny Ferry
June 27th, 2012
12:04 am
Besides, we have been trying to fill the leadership void at point guard ever since the Hawks traded for Bibby in 2007. Miller is hungry enough and has enough status in the league to get all the players on the Hawks to follow his lead. And we won't have to worry about Larry Drew playing politics with this guy because LD already has his issues with Teague.
DANNY FERRY- Please don't trade the core yet! Give them a leader who can help us get to the next level. Andre Miller! Please don't put JSmoove on a plane somewhere else- give the team a chance.
June 27th, 2012
12:13 am
tj hook its gonna be ok dont cry when they break them up haha
June 27th, 2012
12:27 am
6 players currently under contract
VERY little cap space
the luxury tax for going over the cap is about to get much more punitive
no one wants Josh to leave without getting something for him
June 27th, 2012
12:46 am
hawks please take a long look at Wroten
June 27th, 2012
12:54 am
it's already been established that we will pick up an additional player in the draft. After that, we have the chance to bring in a player under the exception. That's where we can bring in Miller. I just see it as being premature to break up a group that clearly had shaky performances at the point guard position. Along with coaching staffs that have had mixed results in constructing mature offenses.
I would like Ferry to at least look at the team and if he decides Smith is too valuable to release or a piece to trade then at least we can a get a pick for him in midseason. Larry Drew has not proven he can lead a team and we don't need to let his trial period linger longer. Let him run his group one more time before deciding to break the deal.
June 27th, 2012
12:56 am
Besides, Collins will want to come back and I think once again, we can get rotational players to fill in the roster out
June 27th, 2012
1:00 am
@ random
You, my friend, I hope are wrong. Josh Smith is not the problem- he just hasn't helped us get the final solution (on court leadership)
June 27th, 2012
1:07 am
Two Danny Ferry type players [i.e.; San Antone]
he may consider at #23:
* Draymond Green;
A player with one of the most unique skill-sets in the NCAA,
Mich State's D.Green is a college Center
with the height of a small forward, the passing skills of a point guard,
the rebounding tenacity of a power forward
and the scoring repertoire of an old school pivot.
However, Green's best attributes clearly revolve around
his phenomenal basketball IQ.
(*!*) also (*!*)
* Doron Lamb:
49% of his 5.3 three point field goal attempts per 40 minutes adjusted,
which technically ranks him as the best shooter in college basketball.
[*last season / 2012]

Hours before the big "American Idol" finale, fans in Hollywood are already lined up to witness the showdown between Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze.
So reports Bert Weiss, who is the middle of the madness with his Q100 radio show. In fact, Weiss says fans arriving for the pre-show red-carpet festivities got there before the red carpet did.
(For all the Idol news your heart could desire, click here for my colleague Rodney Ho's blog.)
Weiss likes Crystal's chances. "She is so raw right now," he said, referring to her authentic, sometimes gritty look and sound. Then again, Weiss said, should she win, she could soon be sporting a new image. "Hollywood gets a hold of them, glams them all up," he mused about past winners' tranformations. "You'll see her and she'll have new (anatomy), she'll be wearing these clunky shoes."
Idol fans will pick a new winner – and say goodbye to judge Simon Cowell as this season concludes. Weiss says he's heard Sean "Diddy" Combs' name being bandied about as a possible replacement, but says whoever takes the snarky Brit's chair has a tall order. The show's ratings have been slipping, and the departure of judge Paula Abdul, who was replaced by Ellen DeGeneres, have taken a toll, Weiss said.
"I underestimated the impact" of Abdul's leaving, he said.
He likened the Cowell departure to a shake-up in radio. You never want to be on the team that comes in after a long-time morning show signs off, for example. (Remember the "Morning Mess" show that came in after Steve & Vikki left Star 94? We don't, either).
Whatever the outcome, Weiss will try to finagle some time with the winner to be played on air soon.
And while emotions will be running high, the scurrying army of publicists representing assorted Idol contestants, all trying to shove their guy or gal in front of microphones and cameras following, should provide some comic relief, he said.
Which led us to propose a new reality show about sharp-elbowed publicity types. "Oh, man," Weiss said. "It's dog-eat-dog out here."

maybe if she took that fishing tackle out of her face and wash her hair every once in a while, maybe she would have had a chance to win it.

Interval Training: How to Unlock Your Fitness Potential
The Workout: Interval Training with the Exercise Band
During this workout you will be doing bouts of cardio segments alternating with bouts of strength training. You will need a clock or sports watch help you keep time. The cardio segments last for 30 seconds, followed by 15 repetitions of the strength training exercise. You can do whatever cardio you like. We'll give you some suggestions below. For a great outdoor workout, put your resistance band under the jogging stroller and jog for 30 seconds, then stop and do 15 reps of a strength exercise. If you're doing this in your house, just do jumping jacks, front kicks, or jog in place—anything to get your heart rate up—during your cardio bouts.
Do the entire circuit twice. And if you're still feeling good at the end, by all means knock out a third set! Check out the video to watch how it goes!
- Bicep curls
- Shoulder presses
- Triceps extensions
- Chest press
- Bent over rows
- Bent over flies
- Squats
- Single leg lunges (15 each leg, then do cardio)
- Dead lifts
Cardio Segment Ideas
- Jog in place
- High knee march
- Jumping jacks
- Front kicks (kickbox style)
- Football run (fast feet)
- Run up the stairs and quickly walk down
- Squat down and jump up
- Dance like a maniac in the privacy of your living room
- Boxer shuffle
- Jump rope (with a pretend, invisible rope)
- Push the stroller
- Lunge behind the stroller
- Lunge around your house
Perform these all together without a cardio interval. Make sure your heart rate has come down before going to the floor for abs.
- Double knee tuck
- Double knee tuck with arms swim
- Single alternating knees
- Straight leg alternating
- Pretzels (one set of 10 each)

For everyone that does not follow me via the various social media networks and have not seen my recipe for Paleo Chocolate Haupia Pie Squares that was featured as a guest post on the Civilized Caveman Cooking website, here it is! I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to hear your thoughts! Make sure to also check out my guest post at http://civilizedcavemancooking.com/grain-free-goodies/paleo-chocolate-haupia and follow George and his incredible blog full of healthy Paleo recipes.
If you haven't heard of Haupia before, you are in for a real treat! Haupia is a tradition Hawaiian dessert often eaten on its own or as a topping for chocolate mousse pies or wedding cakes. Haupia is traditionally made from coconut milk, sugar, coconut extract and a starch to thicken it. The consistency is similar to a gelatin or thick pudding. Some recipes also add additional fresh or dried shredded coconut to enhance that incredible coconut flavor.
Hawaii really is an amazing place to live, especially because I absolutely love fresh coconut and there is plenty of it here year around. If you ever come visit the islands, you can find Haupia served at most local restaurants and at traditional Hawaiian lu'aus.
How about the combination of coconut and chocolate? For this recipe I decided to mix my two favorite treats into one delectable dessert. To accomplish this I created a sweet chocolate crust to complement my coconut Haupia. The crust is made of raw almonds, pecans and cocoa, and sweetened with dates. This chocolate crust is then topped with my Haupia and drizzled with melted chocolate on top. The Haupia has a very smooth consistency. It also has a rich coconut flavor and a very subtle sweetness. To me, the less sweetener you add to the Haupia mixture, the more you will be able to taste the natural sweetness of the coconut. It is magical!
The last thing I would like to add is that you MUST serve this dessert along with some type of berry. I personally love this with fresh blueberries or strawberries.
For sure this traditional Hawaiian dessert will be a big hit with your friends and family, paleo or not. Enjoy!
- ⅔ cup raw almonds
- ⅔ cup raw pecans
- 10 large medjool dates (about 1 cup)
- 6 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- ½ cup arrowroot powder
- ¾ cup water
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
- grind the almonds and pecans, one at the time, in a food processor leaving a few small chunks
- remove pits from dates and process in the food processor until creamy
- mix all crust ingredients until well combined and then evenly spread it on the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan lined with parchment paper
- combine the arrowroot powder and water in a bowl and mix until all the arrowroot has dissolved
- add the arrowroot mixture to a saucepan along with the coconut milk and raw honey
- slowly cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens
- remove from the stove and stir in the vanilla extract
- pour mixture over the crust and refrigerate overnight or until the coconut layer is firm
- cut into squares and drizzle with melted dark chocolate or chocolate chips. I like using a ziploc bag to drizzle the chocolate. Cut a small hole on one end of the bag and fill it with the melted chocolate.
Recipe serves 10+ people.

I love that my 5 year old asks questions. Sometimes it scares me – like when she asks questions about Santa, or questions relating to mine and her dad's separation, or when she asks me things I'm just not ready for, but mostly I love it.
I suppose that's because it gives me an insight into how she thinks, what's important to her. It's like an eye into her psyche, a trip into the place where her dreams come from, a peep into her imagination, and I love that it is such a vividl, colourful place, but sometimes it truly tests me.
Miss M: "Mummy, do they have bins in water?
Me: "Errrrm, do you mean like in the sea sweetie?"
Miss M: "Yes. Do they have bins in the sea?"
My head fills with visions of rainbow oil slicks. Decaying sea birds, their limbs twisted by discarded plastics, distorted into macabre portraits of painful death. Or a shimmer of floating, lifeless fish, surrounded by the guilty, the empty cartons, tins and food wrappings. How do you explain that to a 5 year old? How do you tell her that people, people just like us, have done such harm?
So I take a deep breath and…
Miss M: "Because Mummy, if there are no bins, what do mermaids do with all their sweet wrappers?"

Paul Barber (field hockey)
|Personal information
|21 May 1955
Peterborough, Cambridgeshire
Medal record
Paul Jason Barber (born 21 May 1955 in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire) is a former field hockey player, who won the gold medal with the British squad at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. Four years earlier, at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, he secured the bronze medal with the team.
When England won the silver medal in the 1986 Hockey World Cup at Willesden, Barber scored the two goals in the semi-final that helped England defeat West Germany 2-1 having been 1-0 down until the closing minutes.
In a career that spanned over 25 Years, Barber won 99 caps for England & 68 for Great Britain as well as being named vice-captain of the Great Britain squad in Seoul. A player of uncompromising physicality and determination, he was recognised as one of the finest defenders and short corner strikers in the world.
Following the 1988 tournament, in which he scored 5 goals, Barber retired from international hockey at all levels, and continued to play for Slough until the early 90's when he joined Newbury Hockey Club. He played on for several more years until retiring from all forms of hockey in 1998.
He went to Kings School in Peterborough, Cambs, England. He resides in Bath with his wife, Jennie and has 3 sons, Michael Barber, Stephen Barber and Mark Barber.

From beneath footsteps and car wheels, a deep roaring tone comes from the sand. The sound has been compared to the low note of the didgeridoo or a low-flying plane. In the 1200s, Marco Polo, in his journeys through the dunes of China, said he was struck by "the sounds of all kinds of musical instruments," and also "of drums and the clash of arms."
The phenomenon is caused by the vibrations of the grains of sand as they fall on top of each other. The study of it is new, however, and physicists debate the model that most accurately describes the mechanism. Thirty locations worldwide, including ones in China and the US, have singing sand, but none, experts say, has as pronounced and mellifluous a sound as the giant dunes in the south of the United Arab Emirates. This area is known as the Empty Quarter and stretches into Saudi Arabi

Programming for Interaction Class Final Project
Over the next few weeks, I will attempt to document here some of my work on prototyping my concept called Globalgram. My inspiration for this project was Instaprint. I felt that it would be a good goal for me to build something similar using Instagram API and a portable Polaroid Pogo printer. However, I'm now considering perhaps a more economical approach using a one color thermal printer instead, ala the newly debuted Little Printer by BERG.
Anyway, here's my initial project concept I wrote last week:
Globalgram is a small, roughly square shoebox sized box that hangs on the wall in a room or gallery. As a person approaches it, they will see a lit up world map. Countries are grouped together based on their geographic location and become buttons themselves for the user to press. As the user presses one of the button, that grouping of countries will light up indicating it has been selected.
Below the map, a hashtag phrase printed on a lit up tube is displayed. It determines what will be searched based on the geographic location selected on the map above. The user is allowed to turn a rotary knob on the side to switch between a series of 4-6 predetermined hashtag phrases. These phrases will be bound to something nature related, such as #nature or #globalwarming.
As the selections are made above, an Arduino sends the inputs to Processing, which queries the Instagram using Instagram API. As information is sent back, Processing sends an image, with text and user information and location to a built-in Zero Ink (ZINK) Polaroid printer.
A single Print button lights up when the device is ready and the user receives a printout that falls into a catch tray at the bottom of the device.
The use of warm lighting, physical buttons and dials, and perhaps a wood housing will help make the device inviting and approachable. This installation is meant to encourage people to interact with it in a very tangible way that we are moving steadily away from with the growing popularity of touch screens. This is meant to give a groundedness, or a solidarity to the issues surrounding nature. Using the Instagram service as a database is essential because it allows for instant access to current and compelling relationships that people around the world are making with their environment.
The print takeaway serves to record the moment, adding meaning for the user and their interaction.

I went by the little pond by my house and in a bush I spotted this funny looking bug so after a bunch of tries I finally got a picture! Man do they not like to stand still for the camera! :)
I actually had to crop this photo pretty tight so that you don't see the camera strap hanging in the picture! Whoops!
I ordered a new camera today…a Canon Rebel T3i! I'm so excited! The best thing is that I didn't pay a penny for it…I had a ton of airline miles on Continental that I was able to trade in for it. I don't know if I will be able to sleep for the next week!
Until later, happy picture taking!

Chinese in Southern Maine?
Does anyone know of a really good Chinese restaurant in or around Portland?
re: the_MU
Lotus is the best in the Portland/Falmouth area and very accommodating. I can't believe someone would say they suck.....
I really disagree re: Lotus. The owners are from Taiwan and if you know the Chinese names for the dishes you like they will make them authentically if they have the ingredients. I asked for snow pea shoots (dou miao) but they didn't have them. They did offer me off menu a great Chinese fish dish, fried carp (dou ban yu) but we wanted other dishes - we had an excellent chicken with peanuts (gong bao ji ding) - and didn't want to wait the 20 minutes for the preparation of the dish.
I work in NYC's Manhattan Chinatown, live in Brooklyn and also own a home in Portland. If your expectations are Jing Fong dim sum or Joe's Shanghai, yes Lotus will disappoint; however, if you tell the owners what you like and know the Chinese names for those dishes you will be more than satisfied.
re: StevensAve
Hi, StevensAve. I think we actually agree re Lotus. It's definitely my first choice in the Portland area. The owners are very nice, they always ask after my son, the food there is generally much better than other Chinese places in town. We sometimes take the inlaws there when they come visit. However, takeout from there often disappoints with typical oversauced goo and clumsy prep, and, as you note, they don't compare to Joe's Shanghai, Ollie's, or even (I'm a former Brooklynite myself) Red Hot Szechuan, i.e., it's not actually, by most standards, "good".
Would I call it a destination? Only if you never get to Boston or NYC or even Philly.
re: StevensAve
I tried Lotus a few months ago based on a recommendation in this forum and was -very- disappointed. It just wasn't any good at all. I think I ordered something like a garlic chicken dish and have a strong unpleasant memory of watery, gooeystewey chicken colored an odd pinkish hue.
I have been an enthusiastic Chinese diner ever since living in NYC in 1974 during the Szechuan revolution there, and cook Chinese food quite a bit. I DON'T speak Mandarin or Cantonese or anything like that. If knowledge of "Chinese" is required to obtain a decent meal in a restaurant that's too high a hurdle. Unfair.
I learned about Fortune Garden here at the same time I learned about Lotus. Not bad at all for high quality westernized Chinese fare. Mostly take out: no beer or wine, only two or three tables. It's at 1435 Forest Ave. in Portland.
re: Dual
Good stuff I've had at Lotus: eggplant in garlic sauce: is indeed pinkish and very sweet, but satisfying in a junky way. Hot & sour seafood soup: impressive. Generous with the seafood, flavorful, and festively decorated with bits of stiffly whipped egg white. The vegetarian house special with the veggies three ways is pretty good, if not anything to write home about. Fond of their scallion pancakes and veggie dumplings, but those are pretty hard to screw up.
Only tried Fortune Garden once. There was a 45 minute wait for takeout on a weeknight. I can't remember anything about the food except the use of canned button mushrooms.
Believe it or not, I've found some decently executed food at the Super Buffet in South Portland, including salt & pepper squid, a few dimsum type items (I love the fried sesame balls with bean paste -- previously frozen, I'm sure), sauteed baby bok choi, etc.
Also a promising lead regarding a place in Auburn called Panda Garden -- I've tried it once, at the (sigh) lunch buffet, and signs noted that the veggies in several of the available items came from the owners' garden. Really nice, crisply battered eggplant sauteed with mixed veggies (I'm an eggplant fan -- can you tell?) I invite others to check it out and see if it's as good as one might hope.
re: the_MU
Just following up after a year or so. Panda Garden in Auburn is okay if you're in Auburn, very friendly staff. Not worth a special trip though.
Just re-visited the South Portland Super Buffet, and confirmed my impression that the food there has no reason at all to be as good as it is. Last weekend at lunchtime, next to the baby bok choi and inevitable string beans, there was sauteed chayote with garlic and scallion that just blew me away. Plus salt and pepper shrimp, whole, with heads on. Plus, next to the baked salmon and mashed potatoes, there was nicely done steamed catfish with scallion and ginger. (Can you tell I'm a seafood fan?) Also really nice chicken with BBQ sauce, hacked up w/skin and bones Chinese style, well charred and fragrant with hoisin. And they still had my beloved sesame/red bean balls.
This may sound like faint praise, but this is way better than any similar restaurant in the state (the ones in Lewiston/Auburn with the exception of Panda Garden are uniformly awful), and better than any similar restaurant I've been to in OTHER states (not that I've been to that many, but it beats my mom's favorite buffet in Boynton Beach by a lot :) ). I invite folks to try it and see if I'm wrong.
re: mollydingle
Hu Shang was the best! They had a dish called Exotic Chicken that was so delish! I also liked the Sizzling Rice Soup. I think the owner went to jail or something... I miss Hu Shang!
re: majik
Here's the real story. I worked as a carpenter/painter at both Hu Shang restaurants in the early 80s, the one in the Old Port and the one on Brown Street. Kenny Ng went to jail for income tax evasion (employing Chinese relatives without papers and paying them under the table). Kenny's brother, Henry (also 1/2 owner) escaped prosecution by testifying against Kenny.
During the building of the Exchange Street restaurant, Kenny approached several banks for funds and was summarily turned down. He flew to Hong Kong and returned with a half-million in bank checks. After the restaurants were wildly successful, the bankers were kicking themselves, as were local venture capitalists.
Kenny was "funny as hell". A great guy and fa abulous "front man" for the restaurant. Henry handled the kitchen. Every few days, Kenny would rush into the partially-completed restaurant and proclaim, "I have a new color scream!!!" (meaning color scheme).
It was Kenny's brilliance and personality that made the restaurants successful.
Historically, the first Hu Shang was in a hole-in-the-wall on Congress Street across from the State Theater. Prior to that, there was a very good Chinese restaurant there called 456. I askes what "456" meant and was told by the owner "Chinese lucky numbers".
re: mollydingle
Man, it was so great and I miss it so much! Nothing has come close to taking its place!
The best Chinese was at the original Hu Shang accross from the State Theater, when it was a XXX movie house. Sadly, there is only the disappointment of Chinese/American to be found in So. Maine. Real Chinese(what you have to travel to Boston for) is a huge hole, I wish someone in this area would fill.
re: joss2
The original Hu Shang did serve the best Szechuan style Chinese food that I have ever had. The Hu Shang and State Theater both bring back fond memories (pre-gentrification Portland). Friday night Rocky Horror Picture show at the State followed by drunken debauchery at the Free Street Pub wouldn't be accepted in this day and age.
re: HDinCentralME
I agree and the lunch buffet isnt bad and is an economical choice when shopping the outlets.
re: HDinCentralME
I agree - we've always been pleased with lunch here. How's the sushi upstairs?
re: HDinCentralME
We like China Rose, and I'll state my NY credentials right here. My aunt, who lived most of her life in NYC, likes to go to China Rose when she visits in Maine. Good food, nice family ownership, occasionally inconsistent, but good most of the time.
We really don't have great Chinese food in southern Maine...I have to agree that the best I've found is at Lotus in Falmouth.
Most of the Chinese restaurants in midcoast Maine are DISMAL! Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere decent... or do I have to wait to go to Boston's Chinatown?
There is a new restaurant in Wells on Route One called "East". We went when it opened a few months ago and did not care for the food, but I have read some great reviews on other places. They have Chinese, Japanese and Thai. THe restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful.Anyone been???
If you don't mind meandering 30 minutes from Portland, Chinatown Restaurant in Topsham has really delicious Chinese. The food is flavorful without being greasy and the service is friendly. The lunch specials are the best deal. You get a big plate of food with an entree, an appetizer and fried rice for less than $8. For those of you who have a penchant for more authentic Chinese, they have really good Beef Chow Fun. The chef used to cook in Chinatown NYC, for those of you who pine for the real stuff. The General's Chicken is really popular, as is the Lo Mein are good choices for classic Americanized Chinese. Definitely worth trying, many customers have raved about how the food reminded them of what they can get in the "real Chinatown."
re: espresjso
Why the dearth of good Chinese in southern Maine? Sichuan Gourmet in Billerica MA has some of the best Szechuan cuisine in New England, and it's 90 minutes away. http://www.laosichuan.com/en/menu.php...
Four years later I do have to report:
We had lunch yesterday at Lotus in Falmouth, ME. Had the Hot and Sour Soup with Seafood (shrimp, scallops, lobster) for two and shared a spicy tuna roll. Both very good.. Of course, the soup would have been better without canned mushrooms and a bit spicier, but, hey, I'll take it when I can. Especially impressed since it was lunch,
Try Saigon on Forest Ave. They have Chinese dishes as well as Vietnamese. Very good. Nice people. But don't forget, it's still Maine Chinese food. Not like Chinatown, unfortunately! I remember Hu Shang. I think 456 came after Hu Shang, btw, in that same Congress St. location. Didn't it?
re: josiahbabcock
Oddly enough i have found really good Thai though. Not sure why but seems like lots of Thai places have been opening. The one we go to is in Damariscotta and called "Best Thai"
re: hargau
It's not odd that there is good Thai since there are SO many southeast asian immigrants in the Portland area. Granted, it took them many years to serve their own food (Vietnamese), and I am not an expert, so not sure how big the diff. is between Thai and Viet, but there are good versions of both here in Portland. I like Saigon because they are SO nice.
As for Chinese, fugettaboutit (says this NYer). Nothing since Hu Shang (and 456 came AFTER Hu Shang, not before, I think), EXCEPT Tao in Brunswick, which is transcendant. If they open one in Portland, I will be in heaven. I heard today that Imperial China has gone way downhill. As for Lotus, my Chinese friends really liked it, but maybe they got the good stuff, because I don't think it's too good. Cannot believe the buffet place in SoPo is good! That's good news.
PS. I have not tried Empire Chinese yet. But mostly, if I want good Asian food, I go to Pen Mei Miyake!
re: josiahbabcock
Empire opened a few months ago on Congress St in Portland and I think they do a good enough job to actually lay claim to being a legit Chinese option. Small menu but very good choices. Went the other day after about a 6 week break and there was improvement on what was already a good product. Not a General Tso or crab Rangoon in sight.
re: bobbert
I have reservations for Dim Sum at Tao in Brunswick. My expectations are super high. I know I won't be disappointed.
re: nyawira
Tao is terrific - only been once but still think of that meal - and I am psyched that they will be adding a 2nd restaurant in Portland in the space currently occupied by the West End Deli - maybe spring time.
re: josiahbabcock
Just come to Vermont and eat at Single Pebble in Burlington! (I know, I know, not helping...) ;)

Good Emphasis
today's reading.
Psalms 62 For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation...
the blog.
One of the things I notice about Psalm 62 is that several key ideas are repeated and emphasized for us.
- For God alone, my soul waits
- He only is my rock and salvation (hope); my fortress
- I shall not be shaken
All incredible reminders that God has us and our lives covered. Coming to Psalm 61 yesterday and 62 today was good for me.
So how might we put Psalm 62 into practice in our day-to-day lives? How can we draw on these incredible words and let them be our guide? Tami W.

Ashamed of what I see

There are things I'll never be
You can see a thousand faces
That pass through every day
That look completely through you
In a devastating way
Why they never see me
I still don't understand
I never find success in things
And I'm broken where I stand
Confusion is so prevalent
In my understated life
And the deepness of my misery
Will cut me like a knife
Being so determined
Somehow i will survive
The numbness of my misery
It says I'm not alive
Where does this road lead too?
When will it ever end?
I'm a tree of fallen timber
For, I never learned to bend.

Levels of Biosecurity
Level 1 - Routine Biosecurity Procedures
These procedures should be implemented and followed on a daily basis. They give a high degree of assurance that diseases and pathogens will not be carried into poultry production areas and will reduce the risk of transmission between production areas. These should be seen as a minimum requirement.
Action Plan for Suspected Emergency Animal Disease
Each owner must establish and document clear guidelines regarding the circumstances when an emergency animal disease alert should be raised (e.g. an unusual increase in mortality or drop in production), and who must be informed. The action plan must also clearly state that, if an alert is raised, movements on and off the production area and the property must be limited to the absolute minimum and special precautions must be taken as outlined in the section Level 2 – High Risk Biosecurity Procedures.
Level 1 - Routine Biosecurity Procedures
Level 2 - High Risk Biosecurity Procedures
In the event of an outbreak of an emergency disease or serious endemic disease, high risk biosecurity procedures will be implemented.
In the case of an emergency animal disease and where applicable, standard operating procedures (SOPs) will be implemented in line with the relevant AUSVETPLAN disease strategy.

Motorcycle Fatality in Trimble County
Date of News Release: 10/13/2011
(Milton, Ky) -- Troopers from KSP Post 5 responded to a fatal collision last night at 9:38 p.m. in Trimble County. Investigation revealed that Patrick Moore, 27 years old from Sulphur, was operating a motorcycle near the 9900 block of US 421 in Milton when he failed to negotiate a curve, resulting in impact with a nearby guardrail. Both Moore and his passenger, Catherine Nicole Straw (27 years old from Sulphur), were thrown from the motorcycle during impact. Straw was pronounced dead as a result of her injuries by the Trimble County Coroner at the scene at 10:20 p.m. Moore was airlifted from the scene by Air Methods, Inc. and transported to the University of Louisville hospital for serious injuries. Preliminary information suggests that alcohol may be a factor. Neither rider was wearing a helmet.
Trooper Dustin Corbin, a collision reconstructionist, is leading the ongoing investigation. Trimble Co. EMS and Milton Fire & Rescue assisted Trooper Corbin at the scene.

Jaye Well's Giguhl on Rome from BLUE-BLOODED VAMP
By Giguhl, the Mischief Demon
To many mortals, Rome is an enchanted city filled with delicious carbohydrates, copious wine and magnificent architecture. I don't know about all that, but I'm pretty sure its home to some of the creepiest sites in the entire world.
Don't get me wrong, as a demon, I pretty much prefer any place I visit to be as creepy as possible. If that's not an option, then it at least has to be sexy. Even better? Creepily sexy.
But I digress.
Seeing how I recently returned from Rome after helping my best friend Sabina Kane save the world, I figured I'd share my two favorite creepy places to visit in Rome.
You want creepy? The interior of this chapel is made from the bones of 4,000 Capuchin friars. Some of the remains are even dressed up in monks's robes, but most are used to create patterns on the walls, including a bone clock set into the ceiling.
Several chapels and crypts make up the space, including the awesomely named, "Crypt of Pelvises."
A plaque in one of the rooms reads, in three languages, "What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be."
Awesome, right?
If you want to visit this elaborate memento mori, check out the web site here.
Underneath Rome there are hundreds of kilometers of catacomb tunnels, like a sort of zombie ant farm. The Old Appian Way contains several catacombs that were used until th 5th century to bury citizen because it was forbidden to do so within Rome's city limits. Today there are three open to the public: St.Callixtus, St. Sebastian and St. Domitilla.
You should go to St. Domitilla for a few reasons. First, they spread out over 15 kilometers and are the oldest catacombs in Rome. They're also the only ones that still contain bones. And we all know how much you love bones.
The other cool thing about St. Domitilla—that saucy minx—is that her catacombs also contain and underground basilica. In order to reach the catacbombs, you have to go through this sunken 4th-century church. Cool, right?
Sabina was taken down into these tunnels when she was abducted by Cain in— oh, wait. I'm not supposed to talk about that. Guess you're going to have to buy BLUE-BLOODED VAMP to find out the details.
These are just a couple of the awesomely creeptastic sites Rome has to offer. If you go, you should totally be sure to take some applewood stakes because the place is lousy with vampires. What's worse? They all ride Vespas. <shivers>
Don't say I didn't warn you.

One copy of BLUE-BLOODED VAMP by Jaye Wells & an I Heart Giguhl button
Published on June 1, 2012 from Orbit Books
The epic conclusion to the amazing Sabina Kane urban fantasy series.
Sabina Kane is on the hunt. Her prey: Cain, the father of the vampire race and the one who murdered her family and her friends. Unfortunately, Cain is hunting Sabina, too.
The one man who holds the key to defeating Cain is, of course, Abel. A mage with secrets to spare and, hopefully, the power to match it. Unfortunately, for Sabina, he's in Rome and may not want to be found.
Sabina sets out for Italy with her friends, Giguhl and Adam Lazarus, to track down the only man who can get her the revenge she hungers for. But will he help her or oppose her? And just who is Abel, really? Worst of all, when Sabina figures out the goddess Lilith has a plan for her-she realizes this trip is getting deadlier by the minute. As they say: when in Rome-SURVIVE.

Jaye I would love to read your books. They sound very good. What inspires you to write them?
I have always wanted to visit the Roman catacombs. I'm not Catholic but I am obsessed with the stories of the saints.
Love these books! I haven't read the fourth one yet though but it is in my TBR pile.
I can't wait to read this series finale though it will be bittersweet. I love these characters!
Love these books
Thanks for the wonderful series ! I can't wait to see where you next series leads us !
I love this series – cant wait to see what you have for us next!
The catacombs sound amazing.
I was lucky enough to get a copy of the book from my local library. So I've already read it… NOW I want to own it for my home library.
I love the series and plan to get all of them in time.
This series is amazing – I definitely need to read the ending! I'm not sure I could manage visiting the catacombs. They're awfully creepy looking!
Hello! First off thanks for the giveaway chance, second how do you get past writers block if/when you get it. I have been struggling with this, and just trying to find a good way around it…
So how does it feel to end your series Jaye? What do you have planned next?
Awesome series! Can't stand for it to end.
Hi guys! Thanks so much for having me–and Giguhl–on today! I'll try to keep up with the questions. One quick note, though. If you haven't read the series yet, there's a special promotion going on right now for my first book in that series, RED-HEADED STEPCHILD. You can get it in any ebook format for only $.99! I hope you'll give it a try if you haven't yet.
Victoria Zumbrum: I have an overactive imagination that offers up all sorts of crazy characters and I can't help but find out about their stories. Sabina's series began when she spoke to me and said, "Digging graves is hell on a manicure." How could I resist learning more about her?
Chelsea Foust: In my experience writer's block sets in when you forget that writing should be fun. Try doing something new or stop being os hard on yourself. That usually helps me.
Jessica@Great Read: It was bittersweet to end the series, but I am so happy with how the overall series turned out. I just announced today that I've signed a new deal with Orbit for a new series that will start next fall. It's about a cop who is trying to take down covens that sell addictive magic potions. The first book will be called DIRTY MAGIC. I'm really excited about it.
I'd love to explore the catacombs but they also kind of give me that creepy feeling ;).
I'm looking forward to reading this. Thank you.
Just picked up the first book (and only) from the library, coincidence… who knows. Now I just have to find the rest.
Definitly a creepy place but It would be fasinating to explore the catacombs
I love this series although I haven't read them all yet. Thanks for the giveaway.
I still need to start this series. I've heard such great things about it!
I loved Green Eyed Demon –I would love to catch up with this series
Nice work on the book!
I haven't read any of your books but the series sounds great. It will be on my TBR list to read.
I love this series – can't wait to check this out!!!
This is one of my FAVORITE series ever! I'll miss Sabina and Gighul loads after I read the last book.
I love this series!! Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway!!
These books rock!! I would love to see a story told from Gighul's perspective if that was ever in the cards.
I've enjoyed this series so much, I just can't get enough of Gighul. I'm looking forward to reading Blue-Blooded Vamp, I love Sabina Kane. I'm not so sure about visiting Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins Chapel, it sounds pretty darned creepy, and the catacombs would not only creep me out, but give me claustrophobia as well.
thanks for the giveaway
sorry about entering thought this was for ca/Usa .
Congrats on the new release! Whats up next?
I hope to start this series really soon! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
This looks like a great book. First time I've seen this series.
Gorgeous cover and I love the description.Have a fantastic week
I've been a Sabrina Wells fan since Red-Headed Stepchild came out, and I'm beyond delighted to hear that Jaye Wells has a contract for a new series. I'll be on the lookout for those books.
Having a series end is a sad thing, although it really helps when the characters end up in a good place.
Giguhl – "zombie ant farm"? Really? Snort…and ewwwww!
As Brooks/ Pussy Willow the Faery Drag Queen once said, "Honey, please, I tuck my junk and secure it with duct tape."
Well, I truly don't know what that's to compare to in awesomeness…which is the whole Sabina Kane series – unable to be compared. Not junk, but duct tape. Duct tape as in stickiness, and the plot and world of Sabina Kane has been stuck into my head since Day One. These books are truly amazing, Jaye, and I can't wait until you finish the "something new" project so I can read that as well.
Peace, Love, and "Pitchforks"…Go Team Awesome!
I didn't know this was the end of the series.
I really need to catch up, actually I was just looking for what to read next so score there
Congrats Jaye on the epicness of your books!!
I have not read this series yet but I love vampire stories. Thanks for the giveaway and the deadly destination. I'll be honest I love creepy destinations so these posts are awesome reads.
Love this series! I need to catch up though. So glad to hear you have a new one coming and can't wait to read Dirty Magic! Thanks for the offer!
What are you currently working on? I'm sad that this this is the last book in this series…it is one of my favorites!!!!!
Half Vamp and half Mage how did you come up with this combo? Thanks fort hegiveaway
I love this series! I would love to visit the catacombs, they sound positively creepy but exiting.
Awesome and creative post! Rome is one of my dream destinations, and these are two of the places on my list of sites to see. I know this my sound weird, but the Capuchins Chapel doesn't really seem creepy to me. Perhaps it is my faith, but I tend to see death as just another part of life, a new beginning rather than an ending, so to me it is more a celebration of life in artwork using a unique medium than anything else. It looks kind of beautiful, actually. Can't wait to read the book!
Is it difficult to end a series and move on to a different character in future books?
Sounds like a good series.
This looks like a good read. Thanks for the giveaway
catacombs are so creepy. Sounds like a great read, thanks for the chance to win
Best series ever!!! I love Giguhl!!!!
