UA's bowl hopes: From Holiday to (possibly) home for the holidays
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009Five teams from the Pac-10 already have seven victories and are qualified for a bowl. Arizona has six victories, which makes the Wildcats bowl-possible … but, remember, all the teams with winning records get placed ahead of those with 6-6 records.
UCLA also has six victories with one game to play — at USC this Saturday.
Three Pac-10 teams have been eliminated from the postseason.
Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Stanford and USC are in. If Arizona wins at Arizona State or USC — and UCLA loses to the Trojans — the Wildcats are a sure thing to grab one of the league's six contracted bowl bids.
But …
If UCLA gets to seven wins, and Arizona loses twice more to finish with six, the Wildcats might not be bowling at all. They would be shut out of the Pac-10 bowls and would have to hope to find an open spot somewhere else. A 6-6 team can only go to a bowl if all the other winning teams across the country have been exhausted and filled 68 postseason slots.
Even if there was an opening, would a 6-6 Arizona team on a four-game losing streak be especially attractive?
Basically, it's like this: Beat Arizona State, and Arizona can at least count on the Poinsettia Bowl.
Lose twice more, and this has turned into one miserable season.
Here are other bowl destinations and how UA could land there:
Holiday Bowl
* Arizona beats Arizona State and USC to finish at 6-3 in the league.
* Oregon beats Oregon State, giving the Beavers three losses and creating at least a three-team tie for second.
The Holiday would be free to pick among any of the tied times, which would include Stanford (already finished in Pac-10 at 6-3) and possibly Cal, which is 5-3 and finishes at Washington on Dec. 5.
Arizona would be attractive among that group because the Wildcats would have won their final two games, would be coming off a win over USC … and you know the 'Zonies would travel to San Diego.
Sun Bowl
* Arizona beats Arizona State and USC to finish at 6-3 in the league.
If UA finishes second but gets passed over by the Holiday Bowl, the Sun Bowl would love to grab the Wildcats.
If Oregon State beats Oregon, the Wildcats would finish in a tie for third, and the El Paso bowl likely would prefer Arizona over any other third-place team because of its geography and the length of time — 17 years — since UA has played in that bowl.
Emerald Bowl/Las Vegas Bowl
These teams have the fourth and fifth selection in the Pac-10, and can swap out picks to create the best matchup. If UA wins out, it would finish no worse than fifth in the conference pecking order.
Poinsettia Bowl
* Arizona splits its final two games to finish 7-5 overall and 5-4 in the Pac-10. The Wildcats would finish no worse than sixth in the league, keeping ahead of UCLA no matter what the Bruins do.

Helping Trees Help Themselves
by James Davidson, conference blogger
"I am a community of one trillion," Michael Phillips said.
Even though he looked to be one six-foot-something bearded man wearing a gray vest, Michael Phillips, author of the popular orcharding book The Apple Grower: A Guide for the Organic Orchardist, insisted he was part of a community of bacteria and fungi and countless other microscopic creatures, and it is this wider view that he brings to growing fruit.
During an inspiring full-day pre-conference presentation, Phillips discussed the idea that fruit trees are also parts of multi-faceted vibrant systems. Learning more about these living communities and how to support their health allows orchardists to use nature's own power to avoid chemical culture and get beyond even standard organic practices. A holistic approach is not only better for the environment, Phillips said, it also leads to healthier trees and more nutritious and flavorful fruit.
Phillips himself grows fruit on his two-acre Lost Nation Orchard in New Hampshire. Inspired in part by his wife Nancy's holistic approach to human ailments, as well as a desire to spray less sulfur on his fruit trees, Phillips came up with some practices designed to enhance a tree's natural defenses.
A large part of it comes down to fungal duff management. Fungal duff refers to the decaying organic matter and fungal community living beneath a tree. Whereas many standard agricultural practices, even in the organic world, tend to tip the balance toward a bacteria-dominated environment, the best spot for a fruit tree is one that mimics forest edge conditions, where the fungal biomass in the soil outweighs the bacterial biomass by a factor of 10 or more.
Standard substances in the organic toolbox, including copper and sulfur, are okay, Phillips said, if used sparingly and for the right reasons. But the rest of the time, orchardists should focus on keeping the trees in optimal health by fostering the natural defense systems of the trees, particularly on a microscopic level.
Phillips says this is best done through "biological reinforcement," including applications of nutrient-rich organic materials that in turn enhance beneficial fungal communities both on the tree and in the soil. Phillips proceeded to explain some of these new practices, many of which are detailed in his new book, The Holistic Orchard: Tree Fruits and Berries the Biological Way.
I spoke with some of the attendees afterwards to get their reactions to the program. David Sullivan and Julianne Kellogg of Little Rock, Arkansas, said the main reason they decided to come to the sustainable ag conference was to see Phillips, and they were not disappointed. Both are interested in holistic livestock management practices, and they enjoyed seeing how a holistic outlook could be applied in an orchard setting as well.
Elizabeth Beak, an agricultural consultant from Charleston said, "It was absolutely fantastic." She enjoyed hearing about how better plant nutrition ultimately can improve human nutrition. She hopes one day to plant some peach and pomegranate trees of her own.
Meg Smith spoke for many of the attendees when she said afterwards, "My head is full!"
It was indeed a lot of information to take in, but Phillips emphasized that as overwhelming as it may seem at first, each orchardist would settle in on his or her own set of issues and would not have to be an expert on every pest and disease. The main point was to do everything possible to help the trees help themselves, thereby avoiding pest and disease problems in the first place.
"It's really all about biodiversity," Phillips said.

Wright State University: Christian Group Banned from Campus
Wright State University has agreed to grant recognition to the Campus Bible Fellowship (CBF) for the 2009-2010 academic year, reversing its previous decision to rescind the CBF's official club recognition because of its requirement that voting members "accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior," among other faith-based requirements written into the club's constitution. Despite the CBF's thirty-year presence on Wright State's campus, the university removed the club's official recognition for its failure to include required "non-discrimination" language in its constitution. After FIRE wrote Wright State President David R. Hopkins, reminding him that this policy violated the CBF's constitutional rights to both free exercise of religion and freedom of association, Wright State initially indicated that while the CBF would be granted recognition for the remainder of the 2008-2009 academic year, it would have to amend its constitution for recognition in 2009-2010. However, after the Alliance Defense Fund wrote an additional letter to Wright State, Director of Student Activities Rick Danals agreed to grant an exemption to the CBF. The CBF received official recognition soon after.

Despite the group's 30-year history as a registered student organization, Wright State withdrew recognition from the Campus Bible Fellowship in January after the group refused to eliminate faith-based standards for its voting members. Under pressure from FIRE, religious liberty has been restored on Wright State's campus.

Thanks so much -- for more on these protests in Michigan over at the right to work legislation let's bring in James sure he is senior policy analyst.
At The Heritage Foundation pleased to have you join us from Washington DC James welcome to you.
Thank you why do you think right to work is a good idea Michigan.
Well because Michigan's -- -- one of the states that's been hardest hit by the downturn.
And the state legislature wants to do what they -- track jobs -- well known that right to work states have lower unemployment rates.
But there's more investment more in business investment and it's.
It's not that hard to understand why -- businesses don't particularly want to be unionized they don't want to have happen to them what happened at General Motors -- happen to Chrysler.
And by passing a right to work -- you make it to less profitable for unions to organize new companies in an organizing drives drop.
And it's -- you get more investment and more jobs yet you -- -- are one thing that Michigan desperately needed.
Absolutely accurate you wholeheartedly on the devil's advocate side -- the unions would argue that many V.
Freedoms many of the advantages there workers -- -- are because of the lobbies in the history they've had -- -- four.
Those unions are deservedly that they did they deserve -- But look if you can persuade the workers to give -- their money that's fantastic that's your constitutional right.
But workers should not be forced to -- used to union which agenda many of them don't support.
Polls show that 40% of the unit councils and Michigan support this right to work law.
That's probably because there's an awful lot of union members who don't feel that they're getting their values -- from these -- or don't support the -- -- priorities that should have a choice that's their right.
We seeing unions bigger picture here.
Lose membership.
-- a lot less clout right and they had been generations -- how would you characterize the influence of unions and in the country right now.
But we've seen its availability competitive marketplace that Michigan is shooting exhibiting for that.
Up to the late seventies the Detroit auto makers have a lock on the US Margaret.
And the UAW had about a million and a half members but since the late seventy's you've had an influx of competition.
Some of that from Japan that many of them eve Carson you quote unquote you -- -- -- -- -- but being built in America.
But he nonunion states by nonunion American workers.
Ever since that time union membership in Michigan been trending down as consumers have voted for their with their feet for the at the competitors' products.
As long as you've got a competitive marketplace first of all that much unions can do to.
To raise costs for businesses are -- -- You know -- it all sounds great it it makes perfect sense that you look at these pictures that we're seeing right down the capital.
Union members just just outraged.
You know fears about losing this right to work status and you know you wonder if that volatility could have a ripple effect and get in the way of business and ultimately -- PD economy.
That probably not to -- the polls show that a majority of Michigan under support this move.
A by ten to fifteen point margin that we just had a ballot initiative in Michigan.
Ought to prevent the legislature for -- exactly this type of law.
And Michigan voters defeated it by fifteen point margin say I think those protesters are pretty -- representative.
And the polls and election results showed that most Michigan voters support what's going on.
James -- thank you for your timing here and now -- -- on this union issue.
One I think we'll stick around for last.

Hello out there~!
I just joined, but fear not! I've been doing this RPing stuff since elementary school :P
Before I get into all the fun stuff I do want to say that a new semester just started and I actually pay attention in my classes :O That being said, I can reply during the week, but I'll usually be more active during the weekend since I don't work. Don't freak out if a weekday or two go by without me replying, I spend hours doing homework after class everyday so I may not have time to get a reply in! (Boohoo, poor poor me DX)
If we end up creating some magic you'll find that I'm a pretty flexible partner. I'm not going to say what I want in a partner because I'm not that picky. If you know how to make a full sentence( ex. I love dogs.) we'll get along just fine! I don't ask that you be able to write any kind of specific post length because I know everyone gets writer's block from time to time. Just let me know that you're as dedicated to the story as I am and there shouldn't be any problems!
Don't all jump at once because I'm saying this...but I'm willing to play males too. That being said, I do like having the chance to play my own gender too. As for pairings I'm a huge softy for some good MxM, but I don't mind FxF or FxM. I also don't have any writing limits, blood & guts, cursing, sex, in the name of writing I will include it all! However, I won't force you to do anything you aren't feeling, so don't be afraid to tell me how far you're willing to go. I can respect boundaries, honest ^-^
Ideas, ideas, ideas...hmm what do you think?
Please, Don't Leave Me:
This is pretty much about a couple's relationship slowly crumbling as different events change them. I'm being really vague about this because I want to collaborate with my partner on this one. Their orientation, their age, background...I want to wait and come up with everything from scratch. This could be about a physically abusive relationship, but I don't want it to solely be focused on that. What I really want to do is go through the events that bought them to that point and, of course, how they deal with it.
We Are Who...We Think We Are:
(I'm pretty sure I got this idea from an anime, but don't ask me which one because I don't remember :P)
A pair of roommates(in or out of college) really can't stand each other. But there's something strange about them, you see they have split personalities. While one set fights every chance they get, the other is madly in love with one another. They have certain triggers that cause their personalities to change and, as you can imagine, chaos ensues when one is trying to punch them in the face while the other is practically jumping out of their clothes. This is going to be one emotional rollercoaster complete with laughs, tears, and...whatever else there is! I would love, let me repeat, LOVE for this to be MxM buuuuuut, because I'm nice, I'll be flexible.
Dear Thing:
This is a story of obsession(dun dun duuuuun!) I'll start by saying that I actually want to play the stalkerish person! Ages aren't determined but I'd like them to atleast be 18. Back in school my character was never really seen until your character just happened to bump into them. It was such a brief encounter, but ever since they made that second of eye contact, my character became fixated with yours. As time goes on, their infatuation begins to turn into a rather unhealthy obsession as my character pursues yours from a distance. Perhaps they'll soon come face to face again and the story builds from there. There could be a sound relationship, maybe a kidnapping, who knows? You, if you pick this one!
Because I'm feeling sort of lazy right now, that's all I have for somewhat developed ideas. Onto pairings, because hell, everyone loves a list of pairings!
If it's bolded that means I really want to use that pairing. Italicized means I really want it to be MxM(as much as I want to italicize the whole damn list, I won't, 'cause I'm a flexible person )
Bad x Innocent
Teacher x Student
Idol x Regular person(not a fan)
Rich x Poor
Arranged Marriage
Assassin x Target(or assassin)
Student x Exchange Student
Prison Inmates
Prostitute x Client(or drug addict)
Witch x Demon
Demon x Contractee(is that even a word?)
Those are a few I could think of off the top of my head, I strongly encourage you to suggest your own pairings and ideas if there's something that you want to do. I'm willing to try anything at least once! You can post here if you'd like, but it'd be better if you Pmed me!

Bluegrass vet Bob Amos returns to his roots
Inside the Peacham Congregational Church, the pews are gently curved so that every member of the congregation has an easy view of the pulpit — or, in this case, center stage. Bob Amos, 54, stands up there, wearing a wide-brim hat and a banjo slung over his shoulder. He taps gently on microphones as part of the sound check, while several musicians tune their instruments.
Amos is the leader of Catamount Crossing, a bluegrass band that's about to kick off the Saturday-night showcase at the Peacham Acoustic Music Festival.... Read more

Every Beat of My Broken Heart
The TWIST.
Stories, Jokes, Movies - All my favorite ones feature a twist I was not expecting. The twist is why I'm a fan of M Night Shyamalan movies (yes I just googled the spelling of his name). It's the reason why my favorite jokes are funny… and it's the payoff at the end of so many of my favorite stories.
I think God likes the TWIST just as much as I do…. because it can reveal a new and fascinating side to something I thought I already had figured out.
The guys and I had been talking about our favorite bible verses the other day…. (I KNOW how that sentence sounds, believe me.. if I'm honest I didn't decide on a favorite bible verse until the first time I was asked to put it next to my signature and I realized I wouldn't look like much of a Christian unless I had one. Ha.)
One of the guys mentioned Jeremiah 29:11.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"
That's a wonderful and comforting passage. It reminds me that no matter where I'm at in life right now, that God is thinking of me, and is already preparing a future for me. I can absolutely see why this would be a favorite verse of favorite verses….
I think, though… that some of us find this hard to believe. We look at our lives… our circumstances… our struggles… and we can't help but ask…
"God, where are your plans? I don't see them. If you plan to prosper me, why am I struggling? If you promise not to harm me, why do I feel hurt and wronged, sometimes even by other believers? I don't feel a hope or see a future…. Where are you?"
For me, and I think a lot of us…. we read that verse, and it feels as though God is promising that He will eventually make life pleasant and comfortable for us. It feels like if we hold on long enough, believe strongly enough, and pray hard enough…. God promises to reward us with wealth, a family, a beautiful house, a job with paid vacation and medical benefits, and a healthy long life.
We are quick to say that we are aware that "these aren't the things that really matter"…. but deep down we believe that if God was really prospering us, we would surely have these things.
So sometimes when we don't see these things in our lives, or even the hope for these things in the future, we can't help but feel disappointed. We wonder if God really sees us, and really has plans to prosper us.
This, I think…. is the TWIST.
I've begun to wonder if God means something entirely different when He says "prosper". What if it's when we're at our lowest points… when we're in the midst of our deepest struggles…. that we have the chance to prosper the most? Life-changing moments come in many shapes and sizes… but the most pivotal ones… the most crucial defining moments, are often the hardest ones to live through.
In Genesis, Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, and he was sent to prison after that. He had done nothing wrong, yet he was treated brutally and unfairly. I'm SURE there were moments when he looked around and failed to see God in his circumstances… but in the end, what became of him? Second-in-command of all of Egypt, even as a foreigner. His own brothers didn't even recognize him because his experiences had helped shape him into the person he was made to be. All other kinds of blessings aside, the true gain was who he BECAME.
Maybe God is doing that in our lives right now. Maybe when He says he has plans to prosper us, He means it the way he did for Joseph. Maybe God is already working in our lives to prosper us in His way. He's not doing it in spite of our circumstances, He's doing it through our circumstances.
What if His plans to prosper us don't just exist in some rosy future we imagine for ourselves… what if He is prospering us in his own way - here and now? What if our circumstances aren't evidence of God's absence, but instead they're the very things that enable us to EXPERIENCE Him.
I've come to feel God closest in my life during the tough times. These are the times I'm reminded of my need for Him. I lean on Him… listen for Him… and I can feel him shaping me into something better than what I used to be. It's hard. It hurts… but it is good….. maybe even better than what I know how to pray for.
So this is what I believe…..
"Maybe the shattered parts are the places where Your love starts, and I am closer to where You are with Every Beat of My Broken Heart."

Croydon Harriers secure lottery funding, but others miss out
9:40am Tuesday 15th October 2013 in Sport
Croydon Harriers James Dasaolu and Martyn Rooney have secured lottery funding for a further year.
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey of Sutton & District AC, as well as David Weir, have also been named on a lottery listing that excludes Commonwealth Games gold medalist Andy Turner from Sutton.
Turner, who also had his lottery funding cut in 2009 only to go on and win the 110m hurdles at the Delhi Commonwealth Games in 2010, tweeted: "Remember athletes, just because you don't get funding when you think you should, just prove them wrong. I did."
Also among the names to miss out is former world triple jump champion Phillips Idowu.
UK Sport, the body which distributes the funding, has narrowed its criteria, meaning only athletes considered realistic medal contenders for the Rio 2016 Olympics are eligible for funding.
Dasaolu's progression this year in the 100m saw him win silver at the European Indoor Championships in Gothenberg, as well as break the 10-second barrier at the British trials in Birmingham. His time of 9.91 seconds made him the second fastest Brit ever behind Linford Christie, and he would clock 9.97 seconds in the 100m at the World Championships in Moscow in reaching the final.
Aikines-Ayreetey has received his funding as part of the 4x100m relay team after setting a personal best of 10.08 at the Birmingham trials.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission:
Actions Taken, but Agency Restructuring Efforts Could Benefit from a More Systematic Consideration of Advisory Panel's Recommendations
GAO-06-10, Oct 28, 2005
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9889
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In May 2001, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and other federal agencies were directed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to prepare restructuring plans to make government more responsive to citizens' needs. By June 2001, agencies were to submit a workforce analysis to OMB that would include, for example, demographic information on the agency's employees and would serve as the baseline for agency-specific restructuring plans. Agencies were to submit restructuring plans to OMB with fiscal year 2003 budget submissions and annual performance plans. These submissions were due to OMB September 2001. OMB's directive required agencies with more than 100 full-time employees to develop restructuring plans with the goal of flattening the federal hierarchy. The OMB directive stated that plans should describe the specific activities and actions each agency planned to take, associated resources, expected outcomes, and tools to measure performance. In order to ascertain what progress EEOC has made in reorganizing its operations, we determined (1) whether EEOC implemented OMB's directive to develop a restructuring plan and (2) what actions EEOC is taking to restructure and make its operations more efficient and effective.
Although EEOC did not develop or submit to OMB a restructuring plan as required, it has developed and submitted a workforce analysis to OMB, contracted with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) for a study of its operations, and taken action to implement some of the study's recommendations. OMB officials stated that they have found EEOC's restructuring approach to be acceptable. EEOC chose to implement three major initiatives from the study of its operations but did not have an organized strategy to consider all of the study's recommendations. These wide-ranging recommendations address multiple topics, including EEOC's mission, needed technological improvements, and human capital management. In this report, we are making a recommendation to the Chair of EEOC to develop and implement an organized strategy to consider all of the NAPA recommendations. EEOC disagreed with this recommendation, indicating that they had already implemented such a strategy. We continue to believe that EEOC needs to more systematically evaluate each of the NAPA recommendations, which would include an examination of the implementation costs, contributions to Commission goals, as well as establishing a means for measuring the impact of those recommendations that are implemented.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: In order to improve the Commission's restructuring efforts, the Chair of EEOC should develop and implement an organized strategy to consider all of the NAPA recommendations. This strategy should include, among other things: (1) an examination of each recommendation from the perspective of its potential to aid in achieving the strategic goals and objectives of the agency, (2) an evaluation of the costs associated with their implementation, and (3) a means of measuring the impact of any recommendations that are implemented.
Agency Affected: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: As of July 2010, EEOC stated that they have no further comment concerning GAO's recommendations in this report other than to note that since our report was issued there have been 3 subsequent Chairpersons of the Commission who have addressed the issues they viewed as most impacting EEOC's mission. Actions EEOC had previously taken include: completing the migration of the national contact center to an in-house customer response function, realigning its field offices as of January 2006, and placing headquarters restructuring plans on hold due to staff attrition and other priorities. Despite these efforts, GAO believes that EEOC's actions to date have not been fully responsive to our recommendation.

Our gourmet chicken salad tucked into Iceberg lettuce pockets, served with sweet potato wedges. Low carb option!

Choice of house garden salad or tossed Caesar salad and choice of soup.
The manager at Coldbrews Sports Bar & Grill was supposed to record a race for our group to watch, we get there and they forgot. Extremely bummed out. The managers are unreliable. Bad Customer service!
NEW MANAGEMENT=GREAT FOOD & SERVICE – I visited a couple of years ago with friends who lived in the area and at the time we weren't blown away; However, I just moved to the Roswell area from Brookhaven and decided to give it a go again. WOW - we were pleasantly surprised at the changes.
The menu is quite extensive and obviously undergone some changes. Our bartender said they've recently done a complete 360 with management and staff and it shows!
She suggested the tortilla soup and steak skewers and they were awesome. I think I even had a dream about them. :)
I've read other reviews that this place wasn't very good. Well, I suggest giving it another whirl b/c this is my new spot!
You definitely need to check out Coldbrews if you live in the area. Much better than the Kilt or Hooters...staff is actually knowledgeable and helpful. Plus it's non-smoking unlike Mazzy's around the corner.
All in all, a great experience!
Favorite Wing Spot – First off, they take reservations, which is awesome when you want a family dinner... They've got a small game area where the kids can go play - theres even a Wii! If you go to see a game, they offer to change any of the t.v.s to suit where you're sitting and they've got little stereo boxes if you want to hear what you're watching. Their food is great! I love their bbq wings and their blackberry habenero, but everything I've tried hasnt failed to be delicious.
If you've had a bad visit in the past, I completely recommend giving them another try, and if you've never been, go check 'em out.
Coldbrews Sports Bar & Grill – I just moved to Roswell a couple of months ago with my family. We were looking for a relaxing, causal place to eat that is close to home. We were very excited when we found Coldbrews. We loved that it was smoke free seeing as we have 3 kids. The food was good. We got the spinach and artichoke dip as an app and we will be getting that again when we come back! The severs were friendly too, I didnt feel like we were in a usual bar because it was kid friendly
Our new family spot – This was my family's first time into ColdBrews. We had a really great experience. Comfortable and very layed-back. Perfect setup for kids and adults. The food was very good as well. We will definately be coming back!
Half off apps are back!!! – Went in on Friday night around 5:30 for happy hour, the bar was packed and the half off appitizers are back on the menu!!! had a great time with the new staff...will definately be back!
Color me suprised!!! – I was recently a first time visitor at what I thought was going to be your typical, run of the mill sports bar. Lots of sports themed decor, which I expected, but they also had live music on the stage... which I did not expect. They were pretty busy around dinnertime so my party and I took seats at the bar. Decent amount of drafts beers. Andy Gator on tap...my fav. We had a few drinks and a couple of appetizers. No complaints with the food. It's also nice to sit at a bar and not have the bartenders look like strippers. My friends and I will def. be back, especially for the Super Bowl party!
Will Never Go Back – I use to go to ColdBrew all the time. Is was always an enjoyable time. Loved to interact with the staff. And would enjoy meeting all of the new staff. Employee turnover is very high.
On Friday, Jan 21st around 8pm we decided that we would go back after many months of not going. We figured they would have gotten their staff issues together and become more stable. After ordering our drinks and appitizers I began to look around and see if there were any changes. And wouldn't you know it, it was worse. The new bartendar was DIGGING IN THE GARBAGE for a lost receipt. She just kept on DIGGING until she found it. At last she look relieved! Ahhhhh, I found it. At this point she should have washed her hands! That did NOT happen. I felt so bad for the people who she continued to make drinks and serve. I had planned on having a couple more drinks and dinner. As you can imagine I decided I needed to leave.
I paid my tab and left! And will NEVER go back. If they will dig in the garbage and not wash their hands in front of the customers with zero regard, I can only imagine what they do in the back where there are no prying eyes!
A consistent good time – I've been coming to Coldbrew's w/a few friends for the past few weeks. These guys are consistently friendly and there's tons of options for food and drinks. The waitresses are all easy to look at and the location is perfect for me, (being a Roswell local). Even better is that we come during Trivia and have won house cash a few times!!! I've even gone solo and wound chatting up up with other bar patrons.
Good food and a run time – First time there this week. Got there on a Tuesday to Team Trivia!!! Love Team Trivia.. Me and my friends decided to geta bunch of apps to share, which worked out well. Tiki chix and tenderloin skewers were so tender and cooked perfectly. Love the draft beer selection. lite beer and good ambers too. We lost at trivia, but the service was so friendly and fun that we went back on wednesday. Had another surprise when we got there.... Live music. Cool guy playing fun 70,80s acoustic rock and roll.
Oh yeah.. can't forget about the attractive lady servers and bartenders. Not slutty, but the kind you want to be your best friends.
Will definitely be back!!!! Especially for pro and college football!!! Go Dawgs!!!

Best Vizio TV Under $400 of 2013
2 August 2013 by Shifali Rao
The best Vizio TVs under $400 are the razor LED full HDTVs. Our list below gives you options from LED to LCD, and also 3D TVs from Vizio in screens of around 26" to 32". Since LED delivers much better picture quality than LCD TVs we recommend those, unless you're more keen on features like 3D than video clarity.

Notes from the Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).

Nice biscuits made with my vegan homemade pancake mix!
I had a hankering for biscuits and gravy this morning, but didn't have much time. (Biscuits and gravy are a Southern US dish which I did NOT grow up with, but have come to enjoy very much.) I decided to try making biscuits from my homemade vegan, partly wholegrain pancake mix, which I had blogged about a couple of weeks, ago, I think. I tried them with less fat and with oil, but they were much lighter and tastier this way:
(This is not a Core Plan recipe, but the gravy below is!)
2 cups Bryanna's Vegan All-American "Buttermilk" Pancake Mix
2 Tbs Earth Balance
1 Tbs lemon juice
10 Tbs soy or nut milk (2/3 c. liquid all together)
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Dump the mix into a bowl and cut in the Earth Balance with two forks, or a pastry cutter until like crumbs.
Mix together the lemon juice and milk. Pour into the mix and mix briefly with a fork.
Place the dough on a lightly-floured piece of cooking parchment and fold one side over the other, then repeat . Roll out to about 1/2" thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter. You can re-roll the scraps, but handle them gently so they don't get tough. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes. Serve hot.
Servings: 8
Yield: 8 biscuits
Nutrition Facts
Nutrition (per biscuit): 132.3 calories; 38% calories from fat; 5.7g total fat; 0.0mg cholesterol; 178.4mg sodium; 135.8mg potassium; 17.6g carbohydrates; 2.2g fiber; 1.5g sugar; 15.4g net carbs; 3.3g protein; 2.7 points.
Cooking Tips
Use about 3/4 cup lquid in total and drop spoonfuls close together in a nonstick baking pan.
For the gravy, I usually make a vegan "milk gravy" with some kind of vegan "chicken" or "sausage" in it. I had, for some reason, picked up a box of Bisto Traditional Gravy Mix last time I shopped. It's made for use with poultry and meat gravies, but the actual mix is vegan. It's a British product, but we have it here in Canada in most supermarkets, or you can order it here in Canada, or here in the States. I was in a hurry, so I decided to try it with the biscuits, and it worked out very well! I have never used a gravy mix before! There are other brands with better ingredients, perhaps that would work in this recipe, but you might have to tinker with the amount of mix and you probably won't need to use the vegan broth powder. Here are a couple that you can order online that might work-- Road's End Organics Original Vegan Gravy Mix or Hain gravy mixes. I think these probably are pretty widely available.
BRYANNA'S QUICK VEGAN "MILK GRAVY" FOR BISCUITS (A Weight Watchers Core Plan recipe)
Also good on toast! NOTE: I used Soy Curl "crumbs" in this-- the little pieces at the bottom of the bag. Just soaked them in hot vegan chicken-style broth and drained them.
2 1/2 cups soymilk or other nondairy milk
3 1/2 Tbs Bisto Traditional Gravy Mix (for poultry) (this is a vegan product-- see text above for info and alternatives)
2 tsp dark Asian sesame oil
1/2 Tbs vegan "chicken-style" broth powder (you may not need this with the alternative mixes listed above)
1 cup ready-to-eat chopped vegan chicken sub (such as reconstituted Soy Curls) or vegan sausage, crumbled and browned
Mix the milk, Bisto, sesame oil, broth powder together with a whisk. Pour into a small skillet or medium saucepan and whisk constantly over high heat until it thickens and boils.
Remove from heat and stir in the chicken substitute. Serve hot over split biscuits.
Servings: 5

I tried a cappuccino with Almond Breeze-- the foam is nice, but the coffee is creamier with soymilk.
"Our gang", Sinéad, Ringo, and Tina waiting on the stairs like they do every morning, for us to come up and feed them!

Your cat pictures are just adorable. I love the way the gray and white cat looks like he is laying his head on the step. He's probably thinking they're never going to come, we may starve to death. LOL!I also like the winter picture of you walking down your lane in the snow. I've gone back and looked at it many times, it's such a relaxing winter picture.
Thanks for all you do, DebL - Sun Feb 18, 12:12:00 PM PST

I too love biscuits and gravy- your picture looks so delicious! Your cats are adorable- and so polite! Ours don't wait on the steps, they come into the room and meow until we give up and feed them. =)

Glad to see I'm not the only one who must serve a pride of cats!

Note to self:
Never read Bryanna's blog when hungry!
Off to scrounge something to eat! ;) - Wed May 09, 02:36:00 PM PDT

OMFG! I have to go change my underwear now....I laughed so hard I peed a little.....
I found the following video last night and laughed myself silly for a while:
...until I found this:
OMG that was too funny.
Wow. Too funny. Thanks for the laugh, GL!
I can't catch the humor at the jobsite- blocked site. Work Police on the job
I don't know if I'm allowed to post something that's actually a commercial, but aside from watching SNL's Lazy Sunday, this always makes me laugh....
i don't see that its a big deal, we can just blame it on youtube
ok screw it, im not one to be politically correct, this video IMO is hilarious, if you get offended easily, heres your warning DON'T watch it. It's a cartoon, not sex or anything, but certainly offensive language. It was a pretty big hit on youtube.........
Chase, that was WAY too funny!!!!
i watch it all the time, cracks me up
work just blocked youtube, the bastids
chase i love that one
My favorite part of that video is at the end when Bubb Rubb and Lil' Sis peel out of the garage and run a stop sign, almost hitting a car while driving on the wrong side of the road.
That's only in the mo'nin! It's like an alarm clock, you should be up cooking someone breakfast!
I could have sworn there used to be a video splicing Bubb's "woooooo woooooo!" with Blur's Song No. 2 but I can't seem to find it on YouTube.
LowJack you are crazy buddy lol
I have a thing w/ Dakota Fanning (i can't stand her) and when I saw this episode of SNL I laughed for like three day straight:

nice game pretty awesome... gotta love those ferrari's
this is a very good game!!
it could be better
the races get very long after you get into career and you just get bored.
there are a few cars that i would have liked but most of them are there
however intruducing lamborghini was a grat move
Love the game. Many different cars and tracks. Also has DLC. Love how you can tune your car a lot.
I do not agree at all that this game is better than Gran Turismo. The only reason I bought this game was because I wanted a racing game I could play in HD (obviously not GT4 on the PS2). However, I was extremely surprised by the quality of the game, and gets a 9 in my book. It beats Gran Turismo at so many things but in my mind still can't edge it out, the sheer depth and amount of options in Gran Turismo has still not been beaten. For example, if I were to choose a race in Forza, I may have 12 cars in my garage with the ability to compete in the race, but only one of them will ever give me a chance of winning. On the other hand, in Gran Turismo, I may have 12, and more than half of them would be able to give me a chance. There is much more of a sense of freedom and breadth of things to do in GT. The customization and online play in Forza do beat out GT obviously, but GT5 will fix that and blow any other racing game to date out of the water, I guarantee it.
exactly what Shonuff said. This game is by far one of the greatest racing sims I have ever played.
I'll give this game a 10 even though it really only deserves a 9 at most. My friends and I had a lot of fun with this game, and the graphics weren't great, but the gameplay was solid. I still enjoy playing it, even though I'm more of a fan of rally racing games.
Better than Gran Turismo. Give it up Sony, you have been defeated!
