1. Bring back the old Spurrier: "I used to think I was pretty good coaching quarterbacks," Spurrier said.
2. The Department of Sporting Jurisprudence: Do you have a right to be punished when you commit an intentional foul in basketball late in games?
3. Holy A-11 batman! The ACC now allows less than seven men on the A-11? Yes and no. As the good Doctor explains, they still can't have more than four players in the "backfield" (i.e. anyone not on the line) -- the idea is to prevent penalties when the offense has only ten men on the field.
4. Let me just go ahead and say no: I spent a substantial amount of time this offseason researching Michigan's offense (the results of which are to published, but not necessarily on the web -- though I hope to eventually get it out here or elsewhere that can be linked to). I will admit that I went into it thinking that there was some looming structural/strategic problem with Rodriguez's offense -- that's just my bent. Players win games obviously but I like blaming coaches more, and in any event all coaches have to work with what they have. But I quickly decided that, yes, there were things for Rodriguez to work on, but the biggest thing for Michigan was just to find a quarterback, any quarterback really. And, though he is but a wee true freshman, and a rather wispy one at that, Tate Forcier does appear positioned to at least be better for Michigan and Rodriguez than anyone they had last year.
Which is why I found recent transfer Steven Threet's comments so surprising:
Threet said he has no indication what will happen in fall camp but figures the tipping point will be decision-making, which gives Sheridan a chance to play.
"I feel like Tate has a good opportunity coming in early with the extra reps in the spring and that should be beneficial," he said. "But Nick does a good job of executing the offense the way they want it to be run. People may point out the physical things Tate or Denard may have at a physical advantage, but a lot of time at quarterback in this system comes down to decision-making."
"Nick" here refers to Nick Sheridan, who was statistically the only quarterback in the Big 10 worse than Steven Threet (unfortunately neither could run, and both of course played for the same team). Brian Cook convulses at this thought, as no doubt he still has night terrors about last season:
I can't seriously believe Sheridan executes the offense the way the coaches want it to be run . . .
. . . unless Threet means they've given that side of the ball a cigarette and a blindfold. Sheridan's decision-making last year was not a strong suit. . . . Why am I even spending time on this? The chances Sheridan takes a snap over a healthy Forcier are 0.001%. Seriously, people.
I agree. Yet, Forcier could always get hurt, and what had been relegated to nightmares of 2008 could, Freddy Krueger-style, reenter the real world. (H/t mgoblog and Dr Saturday).
5. How much does passing predictability (i.e. the more likely it is that an offense will throw) affect the offense's success rates? Lots of wonky stuff at Advanced NFL stats, but the punchline: "Going from about 50% predictability to 90% predictability costs at least 1.0 Adj YPA." Read the whole thing.
6. Mike Leach interviewed by Bitter Lawyer. Breakdown: Law school had far fewer "gorgeous girls running around" than undergrad; although in law school he discussed contracts, they were "kind of like a Leprechaun. I had heard of them, but I hadn't actually seen one"; he wants a 64 team playoff to replace the BCS, with the remaining teams playing in some kind of NIT substitute; and he actually comes across as rather normal in the whole piece. (H/t doubletnation).

Jessica Szhor Gossip
Jessica Szhor gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Welcome to the OC, Romeo
Chelsea Lauren/ Jonathan Leibson/ Getty
Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were both at the City Year Los Angeles Spring Break: Destination Education event the other day. It was the second weekend in row that they were together but not photographed side by side having also appeared at a Coachella party the week before. Click here Full Story
These two matter
There was a screening for Love, Wedding, Marriage last night. Mandy Moore is the lead. It's apparently available on demand right now and will open in limited release next week. Obviously because the anticipation for it is so high. I mean, with Kellan Lutz as the romantic interest and Jessica Szohr in the best friend role? Please. Full Story
Charlie is – surprise – not sweet
Written by Duana I accidentally caught the end of this episode last night before reviewing it this morning and seriously considered just doing a review based only on conjecture and the five minutes I saw. But I know you lack Twitter-style invective in your life so I'm here to provide. Full Story
Rainbow rubber boots
Red, bright blue, and silver grey were all represented yesterday on the set of Gossip Girl as Hunter must have sent over every available colour, provided to cast members walking to and from their trailers around slushy, cold New York. As you can see, Ed Westwick chose red. It matches the maple leaf on his jacket. Full Story
QB1 > Chuck Bass
Sometimes the universe does have a plan… Aaron Rodgers is going to the Super Bowl. He of course is QB1 in Green Bay. Meanwhile, their last QB1, some prick called Brett Favre, who f-cked them over, did his best to piss away his legacy this year as his career came to an end amid a flurry of cocktexts It's like it's been scripted, non? But…did you know Aaron Rodgers is dating useless Vanessa from Gossip Girl? Seems he and Jessica Szohr are a couple, have been seen together on several occasions, dinners, double dates, and they've been together since at least Christmas. Full Story
Relationship assumption
Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were at the US Open last night watching Andy Roddick lose. I was asked about tennis during the liveblog the other day and if you were following, you know Roddick getting bounced in the 2nd round doesn't make me sad, not at all. Anyone but Andy Roddick. But I digress. Full Story
There's a limit to Shamef-ckery
And Ed Westwick's abuse of my quiver with his continued open shirt chest rug might just be it. Ed was in LA over the weekend and I don't know what's worse – the mess happening below his chin or that expression he's making over lunch with a friend. So f-cking gross. And yet. Full Story
My Single ShameF-ck
Ed Westwick arrived at LAX yesterday and totally stroked my quiver. He's disgusting. And it's hot that way. Not to be confused with Jacek's HateF-ck either. A HateF-ck and a ShameF-ck are two totally different beasts. I don't hate Ed Westwick. Full Story
MET Sit DOWN: Jessica Szohr
Someone actually posed harder than Renee Zellweger last night, especially when you consider who she actually is. Annoying, barely relevant Vanessa on Gossip Girl showed up at the Met Gala with a lot of Try on her face and a wannabe Jennifer Lopez expression leaving us with two questions: Who? And Why Is? Look at this bitch go for it. Full Story
She says she didn't cheat...
But no one believes her. When I saw them together last month at the Chateau Marmont, he did seem really into her. They make a disgustingly attractive couple. And although they keep f-cking around with her makeup and her hair and her clothes on Gossip Girl, Jessica is GORGEOUS. But according to Page Six Full Story
Worst of 2009: Ed Westwick at Teen Choice
You've blocked it out, haven't you? My Shamef-ck showed up at Teen Choice in August shamef-cking me to hell in his rolled up jeans and no socks and loafers, puckering his lips and posing like a cross dressing private school punk ballerina stuck inside a music box, what? I don't know what. Full Story

First two ingredients are named meat products.
Minimum acceptable meat content.
The first two ingredients in the food are named meat products. The first is chicken - inclusive of its water content. Once this is removed, as it must be to make a dry food, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus unlikely that it is the true first ingredient in the food, and it is likely to be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. Since the second ingredient is a meat meal, however, this is of limited concern.
The next ingredient is barley, a decent quality grains. It is of some concern to see chicken fat as the fourth ingredient irrespective that this is a food for small breeds: research at Purdue University has identified fat within the top four ingredients of a dry dog food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested. Egg product is the next ingredient. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs. We appreciate the use of whole brown rice in the food.
Beet pulp is controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
There is a second meat meal ingredient in the food 8th on the ingredient list. This is a fish meal, however, and we fail to find any assurance on the manufacturer's website that the ingredient is not treated with Ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, banned or heavily regulated in human food, and believed to be carcinogenic (and is commonly added to fish meal ingredients). This manufacturer does make assurances about ethoxyquin-free sources for one of of its other products (the Chicken Soup line), thus we would consider it prudent to ask for a similar assurance about this product prior to using it.
Overall, this product appears better than many produced under the Diamond label, and many of the ingredients used appear to be good quality. It is limited confidence in the meat content of the food that prevents us awarding a higher rating.

learn how to prepare for online classes.
This article appeared in a July 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
Special to the
Those who showed up for a volunteer crew call to clean up the stage, dressing rooms and Performance Hall in early June were in for a big surprise when they were finished.
That's when Alice Butler, faculty member and director of the theatre program, gave everyone a check.
"They worked hard and were committed to the projects at hand and cared about their other colleagues and the ensemble," said Butler.
"It was all about their commitment to the ensemble."
Eighteen of the 20 students showed up for the crew call and were excited about the scholarship, which is called the Alice Butler Award, the oldest scholarship on campus, originating outside the DCCCD in 1977.
On hand to present the scholarship checks were other theatre personnel from the 2015-2016 season: John Moseley, Mike McKee and Valerie Hauss.
"Many of the students sacrificed to be in the theatre program," said Butler. "They gave up opportunities to earn money outside the college during productions."
The following students were recipients of the Alice Butler Award:
Emily Elspeth Cross, Erik Collins, Christopher Ospina, Rachel Walters, Ricardo Soto, Sakyiwaa Baah, Jose "Jesus" Rojas, Louden Bongfeldt, Jonathan Kelly, Justin Dillier, Diana Gonzales, Thomas Magre, Valeria De la Cruz, Mario Flores Jr., Alex Niemi, Andres Ramirez, Nicholas Hayes, Mary Ruth Knackstedt, Anthony "Jay" Johnson and Crystal Fiallos.

The "net file" command shows you a list of the files that other computers have opened on the system upon which you execute the command, however it truncates long path names and doesn't let you see that information for remote systems. PsFile is a command-line utility that shows a list of files on a system that are opened remotely, and it also allows you to close opened files either by name or by a file identifier.
Just copy PsFile onto your executable path, and type "psfile".
PsFile works on NT 4.0, Win2K, Windows XP and Server 2003.
The default behavior of PsFile is to list the files on the local system that are open by remote systems. Typing a command followed by "-?" displays information on the syntax for the command.
usage: psfile [\\RemoteComputer [-u Username [-p Password]]] [[Id | path] [-c]]
PsFile uses the NET API, which is documented in the Platform SDK.
PsFile is part of a growing kit of Sysinternals command-line tools that aid in the adminstration of local and remote Windows NT/2K systems named PsTools.

I am seeing a surge in teenagers, as they get older toward mid-late college, using two Facebook pages. One is their "professional" page - for family or job prospects. Yes, family is included, they often consider a family broadcast a hindrance to their privacy! The other is their regular page complete with beer pong and weekend parties.
Though beer pong rarely makes it into my broadcasts, I have no less than four social networks (education PLN, classroom use, music and arts, and personal).
What about you all? How many Twitter feeds are you handling?

E71 - Next Step Up on the Nokia Evolutionary Chain
Having switched from Windows Mobile (Prophet, Trinity, Tilt) because of poor performance as a phone, I went to the E90 (great business tool, but large) and added the E51 for weekends. Nokia's "Mail for Exchange" application makes their business line useful for my e-mail needs.
When the E71 specs were announced, it was a no-brainer for me.
- Excellent reception (the key for me, as when all is said and done, it is first and foremost, a phone)
- Size - Slim and truly pocketable
- Keyboard, while appearing to be very small, is quite accurate
- The fastest lock-on to satellite signal of any GPS device I've ever used
- The menu and function design allows for easy set-up and use
- Web browsing with 3G reception is about the fastest of any phone I've ever used (including the Tilt)
- with 3G enabled, the battery will not last through the day (I simply go "GPRS Only) unless I need to go to the internet)
This has become my primary phone. I'll probably sell the E51 and go with the E71 and the E90 as backup (I keep my Tilt around as a spare and for enabling my addiction to Bubble-Breaker)
The Most Compete Phone I Have Owned!!
I have owned over 20 cell phones in the past two years,most recently ,the overrated iphone. This phone has it all rolled into one sleek,thin, durable device.
-RECEPTION!! is the best that I have experienced,I can finally call/text from work!!
-Autofocus camera/flash
-Switch Mode
-FM radio
-Battery life
-Thin-doesnt leave that bulge in your pocket.
-Applications-quick office,dictionary,modem,etc...
-NONE!!if youre unfamiliar with Symbian OS,then it may take a day or two to get comfortable,thats it,and someone said something about the micro usb, Nokia is just switching over and preparing for the future just like every other cell phone manufacturer is about to do.

The E71-2 is exactly what I was looking for, small and thin, decent battery life, enough of a screen to be useful.
As always, Nokis does a fantastic job of auto setting everything from the AT&T sim. So far no issues with 3g. Screen is small but bright, keyboard is small but easy to use. A few tweaks with symbian's odd ball certificate issues and was able to install my favorite aps.
Whats not so nice? Well its a fingerprint magnet, but understood this going in. Also didn't like the mini-usb cable which isn't the same size as the N95 and Kaiser. I also wish it would charge off of the usb, but again I knew this going in.
Nokia E71
I have been using Nokia E71 for 3 weeks. It is very impressive. My history of Nokia S60 phones are : 9300, E61 and E90. I did not regret changing from the top model such as E90 to E71. The responsive time of E71 is the best S60 phone I ever used. Also it is the sexiest and most stylish mobile phone Nokia have ever made. It cannot be describe how good it is, only when you hold it on your hand that you realize how good it is.
Great Consumer Phone
I have been using the E71 for 14 days and loaded everything up for business call contacting. Eric M. Zeman gave a very thorough and fair review. I believe he is dead on with his observations. The E71 is the most beautifully esthetically and designed phone hardware that I have seen in a long time! Having said that I will comment on one aspect for people on the web including Nokia that describe with terms like "Business Phone". This is not for power users whom want to utilize additional definable fields that they would like to import from Outlook. Now read closely, Symbian does not allow you to list and scroll by company name! I have 7000 business contacts that I use very effectively in other small devices. All you have is phone and address information with a notes field. The E71 has a very accurate "Global" search engine but who wants to have to go through extra steps every time you want to look a company up. Their is one single contact manager software program but it is just a band aid to the short coming. Also, I would like to import the categories from Outlook that would enable a pro to drill down to a selected group of contacts. The Windows mobile product will do this but I have been a loyal fan of Nokia/Symbian and I was hoping that they would figure this out by now. I contacted Symbian by email and a technical developer inquired wanting to know more and was interested. Once I articulated in detail the process that a field professionals operate and we were willing to help in development, they have not corresponded nor shown any additional interest to address our market. They are focused on the consumer market where people are only going to import the number of contacts that they can remember their first and last name. With great reluctance I sent the unit back today and I will be looking at the HTC Touch Pro with Windows as one option.
Great communications device
I've had my E71 for about 3 weeks now and very happy with the way it performs on the AT&T network in the Bay Area. IMO, this is the best looking phone with a qwerty keyboard. However, my review is based on usage primarily as a communications device for calls, sms, emails and web browsing with 3G or WIFI. I rarely use it for its camera or video.
Some pros based on my usage:
* Sleek, solid construction of mostly metal and some dense plastic. The phone has a nice heft, high quality feel to it. Anyone complaining that it feels or look cheap is crazy. Build quality is on par or arguably better than the Iphone.
* Sound quality, microphone, and speakerphone is very good.
* Reception is very good.
* OS is very intuitive and user friendly
* Keyboard is excellent if you have medium or small hands. The layout is slightly different from standard QWERTY, but I got used to it quickly and now prefer it.
* Huge battery capacity in a slim profile.
* Many customizable shortcut keys to your most used apps/functions.
* There are many great 3rd party applications for this OS....Truphone, Palringo, Nimbuzz, Opera Mini, Google Maps/GPS all work flawlessly.
* I've experienced NO quirkiness or buggy functions to this phone!
* Slippery because of mostly metal casing
* very mediocore camera/video....but you probably don't care if you're considering a E series phone.
* Pricey as this phone only comes unlocked
E71 Silver Surfer
OK so i got my E71 last week and have found no major issues with the device yet. I have AT&T using there lighting fast hsdpa. OMG it is really fast. Everything about this device is great if not wonderful. Though they could have put the Carl Zeiss lens in the 3.2 mega pixel camera to complete the treat. Love the Phone. I suggest buying ASAP.
Sasha's NOKIA E71
I have been using this NOKIA E71 for a while. I am very satisfied with this devise. Nokia always has been impressing us by its phones. I rate this phone 10 out of 10.
Design- is piece of art. It is made of steel and high density plastic. When the phone is in the hand it does not crack and feels VERY solid!
Features- this is NOKIA S60 what to expect. All the coolest features and bells. Wi-Fi, 3G, super display, keyboard. Everything about this phone is insane.
Sound Quality- make you feel like you are James Bond with this E71. Very clear sound (made for business people).
Signal Strength- I live in the 3G area and my NOKIA E71 has full bars all the time. So I am sure it will do just fine in any area since NOKIA is famous for good signal phones!
Value for Money- I bought it brand new for $440. I believe this quality devise must cost more!
NOKIA, respect!
NOKIA Connecting People
Best Phone I've Owned For Years - Maybe All Time
Thinking about an E71? Simply put... go for it! It's an amazing phone bringing together some of the best features Nokia has to offer.
I've enjoyed mine (with AT&T) for about a week and have found it to be a great companion making communication, navigation, entertainment and much more all come together elegantly in one simple, convenient and beautifully designed package.
Nokia got it right this time in every aspect. There are no quarks to mention. As far as I can tell it's an all around powerhouse packaged very well.
Garmin Mobile XT works with built in GPS, iGo Stowaway external BT keyboard works for easy typing or web browsing, 3G (E71-2 NAM) works with AT&T for less p/mo than an iPhone plan, WiFi sharing with JoikuSpot, live video from the phone's camera seen on a web page with Movino, watch movies, internet streaming TV, youtube, listen to podcasts or mp3 music and MORE... It's all there with S60 and the E71!
Nokia E71
This phone is awesome. There are a ton of reviews out there so I'll be brief. Everything you have heard is true. Great call quality, great features, unbelievable build quality. Keyboard is flawless too. GPS is amazing, got a fix in seconds and was accurate to within about 20 feet.
If you like S60, you will love this phone. I realize this review isn't terribly specific but I'm going to back to playing with my phone. Worth every penny!

Mansions Luxury Homes in Waterfall
After months of anticipation, the Dunalastair Hotel Suites in Loch Rannoch has finally announced plans for their grand reopening.
Nestled snugly against the banks of Scotland's River Tummel sits a quiet, unassuming village known as Kinloch Rannoch. Resplendent in its own air of tranquility, and surrounded at all sides by truly enchanting views of the remote Scottish Highlands, the area has long been favoured as a destination for those seeking serenity, relaxation, and a certain sense of calm.
Yet over the past few months, there's been a disturbance in this usually peaceful village, a hive of activity as a veritable army of designers, decorators and tradesmen headed en masse to the Dunalastair Hotel Suites in the heart of Kinloch Rannoch..
Not that any of the local residents seemed to mind this sudden breach of the peace. For them, the arrival of the workmen actually signalled good news.
Multi-Million Pound Refurbishment
After all, that small army of professionals were not heading there for a conference, nor even for a much needed Scottish getaway and the chance to trade paintbrushes and screwdrivers for hiking boots, golf clubs, and fishing rods. Rather, they were there to carry out work on a multi-million pound refurbishment project, transforming the historic venue into the ultimate luxury Scottish Hotel.
As part of the remodelling work, the Dunalastair's trademark Victorian features -a staple of the hotel's architecture since it was first built- have been lovingly restored, blending in seamlessly with a new, contemporary design and state-of-the-art modern amenities.
The boutique hotel suites have been lovingly decorated in gentle, relaxing tones to match the tranquil ambiance which surrounds Loch Rannoch. A cutting edge eConcierge system has been put in place to offer an added level of convenience to hotel guests, and the whole venue has been upgraded to create a luxury Scottish hotel which caters to the needs of modern guests, all whilst retaining that timeless style that makes the Dunalastair unique.
Dunalastair Hotel Suites — Romantic Scottish Hotel Reopening May 2017
That refurbishment, according to the team behind the new-look Dunalastair Hotel Suites, has finally been completed, meaning the team can now start looking ahead to their grand reopening on May 1st, 2017.
At time of writing, the Dunalastair team were putting the final finishing touches to their boutique accommodation, channelling all their efforts into establishing their hotel as a top choice for romantic Scottish getaways.
Soft, inviting beds adorned in the finest Egyptian cotton, hotel suites arranged to take advantage of the breathtaking Highland views, room service provided by their own in-house cafe/restaurant, no expense has been spared when it comes to achieving the Dunalastair Hotel Suites' goal of making their boutique accommodation a must visit for couples who want nothing more than to escape for a few days of quality alone time.
A Multi-Purpose Luxury Hotel for All Scottish Holidays
Whilst they may be going all out to offer an idyllic haven for anyone looking to escape to the highlands for a few days, the Dunalastair Hotel Suites are eager to note that they offer much more than romantic Scottish breaks.
Taking advantage of their prime location in the heart of Perthshire, with its abundance of walking and cycling trails, golf courses, climbing centres, and fishing spots, the Loch Rannoch hotel are also pitching themselves as an ideal place to stay for those booking Scotland activity breaks and family holidays.
Several of their boutique suites have been re-designed especially to accommodate families and groups, a bicycle hire service has been established, and the brand's eConcierge directory has been updated with details on a plethora of activities taking place throughout the Perthshire Highlands.
Now Available for Bookings
At time of writing, the last of the designers, decorators and tradesmen were making their way out of Loch Rannoch, casting one last long, proud look over the refurbished hotel that has been such a big part of their life for the better part of the past twelve months. Peace, serenity, and tranquility has returned to Loch Rannoch, and will remain so, even when lovestruck couples and adventurous families alike descend on the reopened Dunalastair Hotel Suites come May 1st.
For now though, the hotel team are focussed on adding those all important finishing touches, and relaunching their website, where couples, families, groups and solo travellers can now reserve their luxury boutique accommodation in time for 2017.
Luxury Apartments Sandton
Everybody dreams to buy a luxury house. The fact is, only a few can afford it. Even if you have the money to buy, sometimes, getting a good location becomes a problem. Of course, you can take help of estate agents to take that entire headache, but that does not free you from the responsibility to find an ideal place for family. So, how do detect a good property in Hoboken?
Hoboken is a small city in the Hudson County, New Jersey. It is an island surrounded by the Hudson River on the East and the tidal lands on the West. The city also has a close proximity to New York and the Jersey City. People looking for an easy commute to these places for work can easily do so. Luxury apartments in Hoboken, NJ can be a perfect match for your dream house. But, before looking out for the option remember to take care of these things.
- Location is the most important aspect of buying a house. If you can find a place that is closely located to parks, fitness centres, shopping areas, hospitals, school and other options of childcare and recreation, secure the deal.
2. Price is a major determinant when it comes to buying a house. There are many hidden factors that determine the price of any new construction in Hoboken. Ask you estate agent to find a good deal within your budget. Do not settle for low quality construction because of price even if it means exceeding your budget limit.
3. If you are buying a house for your own use and not for rental purpose then, you should be much more careful in making your choice. Hire a registered estate agent only. If you are not taking any help from an estate agent, then be sure to check the certifications or authorisations of the builder before signing any contract. If your builder has good reputation in the market, then you can find about them more from the online sources.
Never hesitate to clear all your doubts before making payment. There is no point in discussion after you have signed the contract. Take time, think over again and research thoroughly about the builder, location and other details. You should always keep in mind the safety and comfort of your family before buying a house.

Bacolod chicken inasal
Teaching 4-year old Boo how to recognize the letters of the alphabet is an exercise in culinary creativity. Simply because she is my daughter and judging from our frequent arguments over who gets the last siopao, it's obvious that she's inherited the family "nobility": an unabiding love for food.
Not content to teach her that "A" is for apple and "B" is for boy, I've come up with different foods to refer to each letter of the alphabet. Thus, "A" is for ampalaya (bitter melon, a vegetable I love to loathe); "B" is for Boo (the only non-food reference in our culinary alphabet); "C" is for chocolate, and so on.
My little foodie in training has three favorite letters in the alphabet: KFC (and I know that I don't have to tell you what they stand for.) For Boo, when it comes to food, chicken is tops, preferably fried. Speaking of this fine, feathered fowl, there's another kind of chicken that she likes.
JT's Manukan is a roadside stall in Quezon City. Like other food stalls of its kind, the unique flavor and deliciousness of its food comes from the fact that one, it's by the roadside; and two, the food's just so damn good that the people keep on coming. The fact that it's always full, even at odd hours of the early morning, only adds to its appeal. There's just no better advertisement for a restaurant than a full house.
JT stands for the owner's initials: Joel Torre, stellar Filipino actor. While his movie star heyday may have been several years ago, the man has found second stardom in his unassuming roadside eatery. This ain't no fancy dig, surely: diners sit on monobloc tables and chairs while eating off of banana leaves, and there are withering movie posters of the owner's past films tacked haphazardly on the walls.
Nonexistent ambience aside, I love it here. JT's specialty is the grilled chicken inasal (skewered) done the way Ilonggos have been cooking it for generations. Story goes that Joel Torre went to Bacolod and ate at every manukan (grilled chicken place) looking for the best chicken inasal. When he and his culinary cohorts found it, they pirated the chef and brought him back to Manila. Sneaky, eh? The result is JT's Manukan.
the smoky goodness of the grill
Every part of the chicken is utilized "" from the breasts, wings, thighs, gizzards, heart, bottom, and of course the liver (P45-P80), which is paté-smooth and unctuous. Ordering by body part is how it's done here and the servers won't bat an eyelash when two to three cups of rice per person is ordered. For those not feeling particularly "chicken" today, there are spareribs (P95), boneless bangus (milkfish P120), and the batchoy (pork soup with offal) which I'm told is hearty-good.
"… just 5,000 more chickens to go…"
The chicken's succulence is in the secret marinade. I'm told that at JT's the chickens are marinated in a large drum before being grilled. Then they're skewered onto barbeque sticks and put on the heat. As I watch the flames lick the meat, a combination of vinegar, calamansi (native lemon) and smoke tickles my nostrils. Like a faucet being opened, my mouth begins to salivate. While the chicken is being cooked, it's basted with atchuete (annatto) oil, which lends to it an appetizingly yellow sheen.
garlic rice "" I'll have three, please
This chicken is eaten with a make-your-own special sauce made from sinamak (native Ilonggo vinegar), toyo (soy sauce), calamansi, and sili (red finger chilies.) Once the eating begins, forks and spoons are abandoned in favor of fingers. There's plenty of dousing, chomping, and tiny groans of pleasure. The chicken is tender, its juices exuding with every bite, the flavor a mixture of sour, a whisper of sweet, and the union of heat and smoke. This is primal, back to basics food.
eating Bacolod chicken inasal
If you're brave enough, order some of the chicken oil, a gleamingly evil orange liquid made from the rendered chicken fat colored with atchuete. Whether you dip your chicken in it, spoon it over your rice, or spoon it in by the mouthful (as I do), it's J-T: Just Titillating. Maybe I'll put those into Boo's alphabet when she's older.
glorious chicken oil — be macho and eat this

1.) Have Patience!
Remember that while reading words may be super easy for you, your child has only been at it for a few months. When we read, sounds and images pop into our head instantly. But children have to memorize a bunch of squiggly lines and the different sounds that are associated with each one. And on top of that, when two or more are together, they produce an altogether different sound. Yikes! How easy would it be for you to read an alphabet in a foreign language?
2.) Timing Matters
Watch to see when your child performs best. You may find that practicing reading at the beginning of the school day is better than at the end. Try to avoid reading lessons right before lunch and dinner when your kids are really hungry and before a nap or bedtime when they are tired and sleepy.
3.) Supply Brain Food
What your kids are eating really makes a difference because reading is hard work and the brain uses up so much energy. Just as you supply your body with a good diet before working out at the gym, the same holds true for your brain. Sneak in a good breakfast or a snack high in protein before you sit down to read.
4.) Use Appropriate Materials
There's nothing wrong with using easy material to help boost your child's confidence, but be sure to space it out in between books that gently challenge your child. Using material that is too hard for their level will only discourage and frustrate your child. To find out if the books you are using are appropriate for your child's skill level, or to test their reading fluency, check out this simple test on the Homeschool Parent.
5.) Keep It Positive
Take time to praise and encourage your child as he or she reads to you. Don't hesitate to help them with words that are not easily sounded out (such as sight words or those with letter combinations which produce different sounds that your child hasn't learned yet). Chances are after helping with the same word just a few times, your child will begin to recognize it and learn to read it. NEVER belittle, chastise, or get angry at your child for struggling to read. This just makes a difficult situation worse. And try not to get impatient (see point #1). In order for your child to enjoy learning, they should not be made to feel bad or ashamed for their efforts.
6.) Review Difficult Words
When you notice your child struggling over certain words or word groups (sight words or words that produce multiple sounds) review the words in a fun way. Make up flashcards and invent a game using them. Or have your child practice writing them out on a dry erase board. But try not to use more than four and five at a time or it can be overwhelming.
7.) Shorter is Better
Keep you sessions to 10 or 15 minutes at a time. Your child will probably get tired if you go any longer. And it is better to end on a positive note, than a cranky one!
8.) Don't Be Afraid to Stop!
If the session just isn't working out, end it. You can always try again later, but if you try to force your child to read when he or she is having difficulty, then they won't be learning anything anyway.
9.) Reward, Reward, Reward!
Always take the time to celebrate your child's accomplishments.
Help your child create a reward poster that they can add stickers to for each book they finish reading. You write the titles down and let them make a path and/or decorate the page. Hang it in a spot that your child can easily reach. When he or she completes the work and fills in the poster, get creative and think of a big way to celebrate as a family. Possibilities include going to the movies, bowling, baking a favorite meal or dessert, or taking a trip down to your local bookstore so your child can choose the book of their choice.
Learning to read isn't easy and the road to literacy is long. Keeping these tips in the back of your mind can go a long way towards making the journey more pleasant.

- the long, meandering story about how he missed class because he couldn't find it even though he "wandered around" Ballantine Hall for 25 minutes looking for it--oh, and there was no capitalization of his sentences--???
- the concise email consisting of four bullet-point questions asking about finicky little details in the five-point homework assignment due tonight
- the stupid question that asks about the exact same thing that I said three times in class on Monday--no, there's no forum open for tonight's homework assignment, because you're turning it in during class!
Normally, I'm actually pretty fond of my classes--teaching isn't necessarily my life's dream, but it has purpose, and I consider teaching some of my fellow humans effective written communication skills to be something of a mission of service. This semester, though, I've just started off really twitchy from the beginning. I dread having to get myself and the girls ready for the parent trade-off, I really miss my family during the three evening hours three times a week that I'm gone, and the late-night bike ride home leaves me still exhausted the next morning. I've also been feeling twitchy about Will's preschool lately, too--Bloomington Montessori is such a terrific school, and Willow absolutely adores it, but it's crazy-expensive, and I'm not sure how well a school institution, even a cool one like Montessori, fits with my parenting values. So, yeah, it is completely impossible this year for me to renege on my teaching contract and pull my girlie out of school, but my reactions at the start of this new school year are something to think about...
Know who else likes thinking about stuff? Curious George!
This is the first quilt I've posted on etsy in a while, since I've instead been making a few for the house, but eventually, of course, I ran into my perennial problem when I find that I really like making something--um, how many T-shirt quilted wall hangings do we need?
With these little guys, though, and unlike with the bigger quilts, I loooove quilting. Can you tell?
I don't normally do a lot of quilting to my full-size T-shirt quilts because they're already so busy that I think more pattern is distracting, but with these single-image quilts it's much easier to quilt a really creative, elaborate design that only enhances the primary image. Yay.
Oh, and yes, the Star Wars quilt is off of my etsy shop--it's happily wending its way over to its new home right now. And no, I don't know when I'll make another. I can only make a full-size quilt after I collect several T-shirts, and that depends on Goodwill and the dumpster diving.

FULL EPISODE: 'The Democrats' Hydra'
"As one falls, two more will take their place." Democracy does die in darkness and is being strangled in secret, back-door arrangements. In the third part of Glenn's special series on the REAL Ukraine scandal, the team's research exposes a much bigger story of what Democrats were doing in Ukraine. Disturbing details and explosive documents reveal how the Obama Deep State allowed the theft of a country and has set the stage for devastating consequences in our democracy today. Glenn explains how it's all happening under the nose of the president and, more importantly, without the approval of the American people.

DEMOCRACY DOES DIE IN DARKNESS: Glenn Beck presents a Ukraine special on the mainstream media
The Washington Post is absolutely correct...Democracy DOES Die in Darkness. Why then, is the mainstream media completely manipulating the narrative surrounding everything the Democrats have done in Ukraine? Why are they hiding the FACTS? Why aren't they digging for me? Glenn Beck presents a NEW Ukraine special, explaining exactly how the media -- and the Democrats -- are working so hard to hide the truth from YOU.
'The Raven' and 'The Tell-Tale Heart' as read by Glenn
Glenn reads some of his favorite poetic works of Edgar Allen Poe—"The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart"—stories he used to read to his kids every Halloween. He also tells the love story of Edgar Allan Poe and his wife, Virginia, whom he married when she was only 13 years old.
Bill O'Reilly: How corrupt media twisted Joe Biden Ukraine scandal onto Trump
Bill O'Reilly gives his take on whether or not President Trump DID promise or threaten the President of Ukraine for dirt on Joe Biden, and whether or not the action is grounds for impeachment. But O'Reilly explains that either way, the media has demonstrated its corruptness yet again by manipulating the story away from a scandal for Joe and Hunter, and towards a potential, rumored wrongdoing by Donald Trump.

Got veggies? Mix 'em up in Ratatouille
September 11, 2011
Maybe it had something to do with the full moon, or alignment of the planets, or perhaps the collective positive energy of our country coming together in remembrance found its way into my little world. Whatever the reason, today was an excellent day.
Somehow, this day I managed to sleep in until nearly 11:00; (I work until nearly midnight, so sleep is always a challenge.) Then I enjoyed a healthy, hearty breakfast of farm-fresh eggs, perfectly cooked by my husband; watched some inspirational and entertaining youTube videos; (more about that below) cleaned the house; went for an amazing 5-mile hike off Guanella Pass, complete with our two labradors romping in a clear forest creek, Stellar's Jays and fuzzy little picas calling out as we passed. We had lunch atop a rock overlooking a breathtaking alpine lake; drove back to Denver; went to the grocery store, and then ended the day with a wonderful dinner with just-harvested veggies from the garden, enjoyed with good friends.
Whew! I wish every day could be like this.
The meal was truly delicious… and easy. I was looking through one of my favorite cookbooks, "Melissa's Great Book of Produce" by Cathy Thomas.
I was trying to find something to do with eggplant, and I came across a recipe for Ratatouille.
Now, I had heard of the dish, but never knew what it was, so I read further: "Ratatouille is derived from the French word touiller, which means to mix or stir together. This is a classic dish that combines eggplant with tomatoes, summer squash and bell peppers."
Since I had all those ingredients right outside, I decided this was just the recipe I was looking for. This version can be made with or without sausage. I'm not usually a sausage eater, but since others were going to be joining us and, let's face it, good Italian sausage just makes things taste better, I opted to put it in.
Ratatouille (serves 6)
About 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage (optional)
5 Japanese or Chinese eggplants (unpeeled, cut into ½-inch slices) or 1 large purple or white eggplant (peeled, cut into quarters lengthwise, and then into ½-inch slices)
2 large onions, cut in half and thinly sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, cored and seeded, cut into strips
(I used one purple bell pepper and one green, as that's what we had in the garden)
4 medium-large ripe tomatoes, about 1 pound, cut into 1-inch chunks
Pinch of ground fennel seed
(I didn't have any fennel, so I put in a few pinches of curry powder, cinnamon and cardamom)
3-4 yellow zucchini or yellow pattypan squash, sliced
(I didn't have yellow zucchini, so I used regular zucchini and yellow squash)
2/3-cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice or pasta
Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet. Add sausage and cook on medium-high heat, stirring or shaking pan frequently, to brown sausage on all sides. Remove sausage with slotted spoon onto paper towels to drain.
Add eggplant, onion and bell pepper to pan. Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil if pan looks dry. Cook on medium heat about 8 minutes, stirring or shaking pan frequently until vegetables start to soften.
Add sausage, tomatoes, spices and squash. Cover and simmer on low until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Add basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. If there is a lot of juice, strain off solids (using a slotted spoon our pouring mixture through a colander, reserving juices). Cook juices on high heat until reduced by two-thirds. Return vegetables to reduced juices. Or, just serve with a slotted spoon.
Place rice or pasta in shallow bowls. Ladle ratatouille on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

Sun's Edgett, Wright take top honors in California newspaper contest
TRUCKEE, Calif. — Sierra Sun staffers Amy Edgett and Sylas Wright have once again been recognized as some of the best at their trade in the state of California.
The duo was honored over the weekend in California Newspaper Publishers Association's 2013 Better Newspapers Contest with a trio of top awards, including first place in Best Writing for Edgett.
Edgett defeated several newspapers in the Sun's division to earn one of the contest's most coveted awards with her emotional human-interest tale about Truckee Dr. Brooks Bloomfield and his ongoing battle with Multiple System Atrophy in the story "Living while dying, one day at a time."
Her July 17, 2013, feature dove into the lives of the veterinarian and his wife, Jennifer, who live and love to help others and their four-legged and two-winged friends. And it's a story that tells people of the disease, what support groups exist — and its unfortunate, fatal prognosis.

"It was a very difficult story to tell, but it was one that was very important to get out there because, frankly, rare diseases like MSA just don't get the treatment through the media that they deserve," said Edgett, who's served as the Sun's community editor the past seven years, in a recent interview. "This story was of great importance because of the beloved couple's standing in the community and their trust in me to tell the story and get the word out about a rare, slippery and deadly disease."
Wright, who's been with the Sierra Sun for nine years, serving as sports editor of the Sun since 2006 and also of the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza since 2009, earned two second-place awards for Best Sports Page or Section and Best Sports Writing.
In the writing category, the aptly named Wright was acknowledged for his Nov. 21, 2012, story "Four-Peat, State beat-down," which recapped the Truckee football team's fourth-straight NIAA Division I-A state championship with its 34-10 win over Southern Nevada nemesis Moapa Valley.
CNPA's annual Better Newspapers Contest judges papers of similar size against one another in categories such as local breaking news, best writing, photography, page design and general excellence. More than 3,000 entries are received each year.
The 2013 winners were unveiled Saturday at CNPA's annual awards banquet in San Jose.
Despite its twice-weekly publication schedule and small staff, the Sun has performed well in recent years in the contest. In 2012, Wright earned a second-place award for Best Sports Writing, while Edgett placed second for Best Writing.
In 2011, Edgett earned second place for Best Editorial Comment, while Wright placed first in Best Sports Writing for his story "Perfection," about the Truckee High football team's 27-7 win over Moapa Valley in the 2010 3A state championship.
CNPA comprises nearly 500 non-college, professional newspapers, including 373 non-dailies; the Sun competes in the "Weekly C" category, among 100 or so mid-level weeklies with a circulation between 4,301 and 11,000.
Wright and Edgett also perform well annually in the Nevada Press Association's contest.
In 2013, Edgett was tops in the Best Feature Story category for the Nov. 16, 2012, cover story "Hell on the highway."
Wright, meanwhile, won the Best Sports Story award for his Oct. 10, 2012, Truckee football article "Fernley snaps historic win streak at 41 games."

If you've been waiting patiently for the special iPad version of Skype, you needed to be quick on the trigger Monday night. Because just a few hours after the app went live, Skype went ahead and pulled it.
It's not clear what the hiccup is, or how long it will last, but a Tweet from Skype read "To ensure your best Skype experience, we've temporarily removed Skype for iPad which went live prematurely today."
In the meantime, you can still use the iPhone version of Skype on an iPad, although it doesn't make very good use of the iPad's larger screen size. Then of course there's always FaceTime.
The app eventually went live, shortly after Skype announced that the app was live again but did not explain what was different from the pulled back version.

The following is a walkthrough of the Publicity Tour mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The Psycho has hided a bomb in the Love Fist Limo, it means, if you ride slow with the limousine, it will explode and the mission is failed, turning the mission hard. During the mission it's raining, be careful in the curves.
There are four paths you can take to keep driving:
- Vice Point: The hardest way. When you start driving make a turn to the opposite direction to which the lim is pointing, without lowering the speed too much. Keep driving through this path until you reach Prawn Island, then keep driving till you reach Vice Point, keep going along all routes you see until Love Fist defuse the bomb.
- Downtown: Make a turn to the path in the middle, (not the one the limo points to, nor the opposite direction) and keep driving through downtown, and a portion of Little Haiti and Little Havana until Love Fist defuses the bomb.
- Cross Town: Drive straight in the Bayshore Avenue through where the Limo is pointing and go through the route with less turns. As of here it's basically the same as option 2, but you'll probably reach Viceport.
- Airport Run: As indicated for path #3, but don't get comfortable for the straights. Traffic may unexpectedly appear and cause you to crash, causing the bomb to fill up faster. You'll need to find a place where there isn't any traffic around so that the band members will figure out faster and easier. Head to the right where it leads to the Escobar International Airport. Get to the airport runway and then keep driving as fast as you can (since there are no hard corners), but avoid getting carried away as well, let alone planes that are either about to take off or land.
Once the bomb is disarmed, head back to the concert. Your mission is complete.
