A possible change in school district policy was a hot topic at June 10s Berkeley County School Board meeting.
Parents, volunteer coaches and their supporters packed the BCSD board room in Moncks Corner to voice their displeasure with the possible change; specifically, the banning of parents of varsity and JV student athletes from coaching in order to avoid the appearance of favoritism over other athletes.
Berkeley County Athletic Director Charlie Davis explained the districts stance.
To avoid the appearance of favoritism of players that happen to be children of volunteer coaches on their respective varsity and junior varsity teams, the school board plans to review its current policy of having parents of players serve as volunteer coaches, he said in a released statement on June 9.
District 100 Rep. Eddy Southard spoke during the public comments portion of the meeting and said he appeared on behalf of his constituents to voice his support of the districts volunteer coaches.
I have some concerns regarding the boards consideration of this policy change, Southard said. Just at Berkeley High School we have nine volunteer coaches who are non-district employees and many of those volunteer coaches are parents of competing athletes.
A volunteer parent-coach is harder on his own son or daughter than he is on the other kids on the team.
Moncks Corner resident Sally Wofford said a petition containing more than 330 signatures would be presented to the board.
Volunteer coaches are vital to the success of a high school sports program, she said. Its impossible to run a program involving 60 girls without parent-coaches. This ban would be devastating to the softball and baseball programs at Berkeley High School.
Wofford asked the school board not to micro-manage: I encourage the board to drop this matter and entrust the policy involving parent coaches to the principals and athletic directors of each individual school.
Moncks Corner resident Ashley Carman also addressed the board.
This policy doesnt involve all schools so why initiate a blanket policy to cover all schools?
Carman also wanted to know why the same ban didnt apply to volunteer parents on the academic side: Why would you discriminate against a parent volunteering his time with a sports program when you dont have a problem with a parent serving in an administrative capacity with an academic function?
Berkeley County Superintendent Rodney Thompson said that any change in the districts policy could take up to two years to implement.
There has been no final decision on this topic, he said. Schools have been told this is a possibility and to make alternative plans in case the policy is adopted.
Thompson said the school boards first obligation remains with the students.
We have concerns about rumors circulating about coaches that are parents of varsity and junior varsity athletes showing favoritism. We want to protect our athletes and volunteers from such allegations.
Thompson added any decision to change the districts policy involves two committee reviews and two school board readings before being adopted.
The district is ever grateful for the role our volunteers played throughout the county, he said.
District 3 school board member Phillip Obie asked why the school board should involve itself in a matter that could and should be handled by the coach, the athletic director or the principal at a given school.
I agree completely with what Sally Wofford said, why is the school board involving itself with this when this is something that should be handled by the coach, the athletic director or the principal?, Obie said. I dont get it.
Obie went on to say the school board is sending the wrong message.
Clearly this is something that is not a county-wide problem, he said. It is a problem at one school and not throughout the county. Here, we are begging parents to get involved with their students at school, and when they do want to get involved, then we go and run them off.
I dont understand why were doing that.

F2P, P2W, Subs .. all of it is irrelevant. The biggest problem we have in terms of mmo's today is that they are all copies of one another, it seems all the potential customers know this and all the devs are completely oblivious to it.
True innovation ended in 2002, since then its been a relentless rehash of the same old crap, we now even have unmovable genres of games because quite frankly, they have all run out of ideas. All they can do is 'try' and make the next 'better' game within said genre's.
In relation to this article, F2P is code for 'demo', noone does anything for nothing, they want paying for it and the only innovation since 2002 is payment methods.

DLC is killing gaming more then free to play because of this term that has long since been forgotten by almost every game company in the world now a days," updates", instead of shelling out freaking expansions or dlc..
Greed is what sends so many of us to the free 2 play games since they rely on updates to keep their populace and their income coming back..
This article seems strange since it even points out how absurd the sims is...

God this system can be bad, editting a post does not mean post it again...
F2P in the MMO market started the downward trend with SOE, it was a huge abuse because they started out with limiting content. Content limited F2P or Freemium is never a good idea and even tho the author does admit that F2P has evolved to create a balanced gaming life and an environment that isn't harsh on the players wallets in this article he fails to mention the badboys of the most recent F2P translations. SWTOR and the RMAH in D3. Both of these are designed poorly and with the execs rather then the player in mind. They require large sums of money to do anything meaningful in the game titles and basically expect the players to repurchase the entire game in smaller pieced increments, content that should be available and managable without the need to nickle and dime the players.
What's sad is articles and forum posts like these often ignore these two titles as problems or as great examples of how F2P has gone wrong in the industry because of their unwavering dedication to these game companies. The larger the bank account the better the ratings the fewer the negative things said about your title often becomes the norm.
Piracy is no more or less an issue in the F2P games then the P2P games. People for example have been complaining about GW2 as of late, mostly because it's a new title, but they fail to realize that not only has Blizzard failed to completely eliminate the gold farming in their big title World of Warcraft but these gold farming companies have thrived on WoW for YEARS even with the authenticators. If one were to go seek out one of these companies you would see how every single one lists the ability to sell you gold on World of Warcraft still to this day.
And Finally, There is hardly any mention about examples of poor F2P MMO designs in the MMOcentric gaming market considering the website's focus.

This is a topic where i feel a large amount of gamers have their heads in the ground. F2P is never ever going away in fact it is going to be the payment model of the future. Games are costing more and more to make and the subscription model is simply not as profitable.
So unless they wanna pay a ton of money on the front end, this is really the most painless solution. I have no interest in the majority of cash shop items, so if other people buying crap i don't care about that doesn't affect me, and the result is i get to play for free, what diety did i please.

"In closing, articles like this, frustrate me, passing one's opinion off as fact is, well, shameful. The FACT is, we are all very different, and the opinions on this subject are as varied as we are unique. I do not believe that any one opinion, be it mine, or anyone ones will be the answer to the gaming industry woes."
I was speaking in general and not fingering out the Author.. I was actually pointing out that this article will solve nothing. And as the title was meant to "get our attention", it did more than that, it did not ask the question whether or not F2P is killing the industry, it had already presumed it has, and the content of the "editorial" would explain how it did? My point was.. IT HAS NOT.

hatred enriches.life is a prison, death a release.
im not even going to read the piece as its going to be another BS blame game statement.
free to play kills nothing. the very first game i ever owned besides the old wolfinstine 3d on 4/25 disk was a freeware game of biomance. the thing that kills games is not its subscription or lack there of. BUT piss poor gameplay mechanics, poor visual/audio and just out right stupid corprate shills screwing over the player pop that the vast majority quit.
sighting that F2P is a cause of games dying is the same as saying mcdonalds killed hamburgers. its totally asine and really just a finger pointing blame.
if a game wants to succeed post 2012 they have to provide 5 major important elements.
1) best possible game play mechanics the game eng/style can support. (dont give me counter strike 1.0 under the name of battlefield 3)
2) best bang for buck (gameplay/mechanics has to warrent the sub model. i will not pay 9.99-19.99 for windows minesweeper)
3) acceptable graphics/audio (its 2012 not 1989 so 6bit graphics will no longer cut it. ill accept some pixalation if the game is good, and i wouldnt expect Crys1 but id expect some quality.. and audio has be good.. )
4) best possible game balance for players. (be it crafting/questing/pvp if the game is hyping one or all of those and it falls flat providing ... its cheaping out players)
5) if the game is f2p in any regards it should not hamstring or rip off players to an extent that unless you shell out 50bucks a week to the mall you cant even play the game. granted this would fall under bang for buck. but some p2p games are not worthy of their sub price or box price for what you get..
^ none of that has anything to do with a game being free or not. but everything todo with why games are falling flat on their faces day in and day out. cloning WoW or EQ or skyrim will not make that game a success hell charging me 30 bucks +sub for pong wont make pong a success either... (as great as it is...) once game companies pull their heads out of their backsides or from between their secrataries legs and figure out players WILL not pay top dollar for garbage, they will start to make successful games..

Hate to say it but Blizzard saw this and created a game that has longlivety, and this is coming from someone who quit Wow at level 30 because they were relentlessly bored with it.

First off there are very few ftp games. Most are "we will give you a taste but if you want to /really/ play the game you pay". DDO, EQ2, Tor, etc unless you want to do a lot of grinding and/or cripple or otherwise make gamelife annoying you pay.
I see many ftp as just a different type of trial and a lure. If you can visit with your guildmates and see your character, how much more likely are you going to go back to playing the game?
It also in some cases gives paying players someone to play with or at least makes a game look better on paper than it otherwise is.
How about this then. How many new mmos come out as ftp? Not many, most are failed games looking for a little extra life. Therefor I would suggest, it is the fault of the devs to make games players want to play/pay for that is "killing gaming".

LoL does do Pay-to-Win. "Spend a year to get what you need to be good at Ladder...or just buy it! You'll do better if you buy! Look, you can even buy boosters!" Very few people have gotten far on Ladder purely using the points you gain from playing matches without spending way too long grinding on a single game.
@Article: Blizzard gained popularity from Diablo 2? What? It wasn't that game before it...you know...that one called Starcraft? The game that practically invented E-Sports.
You cannot blame developers for maximizing on profits. If they see people are stupid enough to buy a couch for $5, or an outfit for $10 that only lasts a month, or any the other crap people bought, why exactly is it the developer's fault? Sure, maybe they shouldn't be so quick to cash in on stupidity, but that's what the players clearly showed they wanted. Take WoW for example. They released that paid mount that literally did nothing for you...and people ATE IT UP. They sold hundreds of thousands of units before the content was even released! Why would Blizzard NOT maximize on this? It clearly works, people are clearly stupid and will buy anything. Once some companies showed how easy it is to cash in on stupidity, are you really surprised that's the direction it went in?
Let's not forget that WoW is both P2P AND Cash Shop. It's both. Hell, your own main example is Sims, a game that is Buy to play, and then with a Cash Shop. It's not, "F2P is runing games!" It's, "Morons who buy anything are ruining games!"

funny thing: all the games mentioned are all games that changed to free to play. and yes the way in which all of those changeovers have been implemented has been poorly done. saying that this type of pay model is a fail because p2p developers poorly implement f2p is like saying Ford is a fail because they don't build Ram pickup trucks.

I think must games that f2p or change from subs to f2p did that to atract more players to come
It is a stratgy to bring more players but answering your question
It may afect but at the end quilty is also important .. f2p does not make it fine
I think people sould have more feedback and review about mmorpg style
f2p does not make it cool
Must games that come with f2p will add nice shop and made it pay2win.

I disagree with this article. It is not Free to Play, which is killing anything, the dev teams themselves kill if any. Nearly all of the titles of the genre provided terrible service. Most players I know (substract some kids from this) are more than willing to pay a subscription fee for a good game with reasonable service and continued development.
The software game industry is the most customer ignoring industry in the world since some time in the 80s. The bigger the company the user unfriendly are service and product. Look at EA currently. They try to make profits on the back of us customers instead of looking us in the face. Most developers do is nothing more then copy/paste succussful game ideas and ignoring service issues. Some hotlines with ignorant underpaid folks is what they call service.
The free-to-play-model of online gaming is just a feature, not a problem at all. The developers themselves, the companies creating games are the one that decide to make it good or bad. Today, tomorrow and the day after. Perhaps ArenaNet can show how to do it right. They proclaim it at every corner, but I doubt they will be different. Surprise me ArenaNet ;)

They've been doing a good job so far. The Gem Store has nothing that is game breaking or changing, and the only thing that has a chance to do it is the Boosters which you can get from just playing the game. Monsters drop keys, storylines give keys, completition rewards give keys, and just playing the damn game gives keys. There's nothing in their Gem Store can remotely break the game, and as long as it continues to run that way they have shown everyone how it's done. They are certainly doing it now, and they did it with GW1 too. The same thing applies there too.

Everyone is looking at this as either a black or white style situation. Lets take this TV analogy a little farther. I like watching tv show X. I'm not a big fan of the commercials that interupt it. Your argument is that by me choosing to enjoy my show by cutting the commercials is going to punish me in the long run because the show I enjoy won't be able to continue to fund itself because ad revenue will decrease dramatically, or cease altogether.
There we have two extremes. In one instance you're saying hey, this show is free, but you're going to have to suffer some advertisements and possibly be convinced to purchase stuff. In the other, the show stays free and I have no bothers, but ultimately there's no resources for said show to continue to resume.
Let me tell you what I do here. First, I have a DVR and hell yes I blast thru the commercials and anticipate a day when they're in fact gone for good. Your theory is that television, or entertainment itself cannot function without some form of intrusive advertising, I say otherwise. I'm a HUGE battlestar Galactica fan, HUGE. I would take days off just to make sure I could watch a new ep back when it was on. This stopped about halfway thru season 2 because frankly the show was SO good that the ads became HUGE pains in the butt that flat out interupted my immersion into the show.
I didn't have a DVR at the time so I had only a few choices. 1: Suffer the ads. 2: Stop watching and wait for DVD. 3: Buy the eps for a buck on Itunes.
I chose Itunes at the time. Here I got everything I wanted out of the deal and they made some money.
Having options in everything is ideal. I used to be an avid hater of F2P games, claiming they would ruin the whole genre or whatever other overdramatic drivel anyone (Including you, OP) would care to come up with. I'm older and wiser and tend to understand the nature of not only myself but how certain things work now and frankly I'm a-ok with the situation.
A sub fee to me is rarely worth paying. Oh yes, I can definitely afford it but it's not worth the money they're asking. There was a time years ago when I believed my sub went to the development of better and frequent content. I no longer believe that. Companies took those fees and instead made sub-par games with sub-par expansions and meanwhile cashed checks on our sub fees which were buying us nothing.
F2P, TRUE f2p, has its own issues. I can download this game and play it to my hearts content without having to pay a dime. However I'll likely have to suffer intrusive ads or setbacks because I'm not willing to pay into a cash shop. Still, I can play and enjoy if I so choose. I do not, I would prefer to be able to get the full experience in one go and not bits at at ime.
B2P is another option. Here you pay your fee up front and get your game. In this case there are also likely cash shops to contend with but tend to be a lot less intrusive or make you feel like you NEED to spend into them. I like this route and right now am loving playing GW2.
Frankly, not a single one of them is killing the genre, merely filling a role. Some of you people want to go back to some magical good old day where you paid 15 bucks and all was right with the world, except that day never existed. There are now options, not only in payment methods but in games and styles as well. It used to be a limited genre in a limited market. Now it's a huge genre in a very huge market. This means that options are required to survive. If you don't like an option, don't pursue it.
As an aside, I'd like to note that the most profitable online game company is Zynga. Gaming isn't what it used to be, and never will be again. EVER..

In some cases people will pay large amounts for almost nothing and in other cases demand a large amount of stuff for almost no cost. Consumerism at its finest in this industry frankly, the problem is people don't like it when something isn't the way THEY do it, or the way THEY like it. This goes for everything really but gaming, games, and gaming models and the industry is to us "gamers" almost as important as religious debates or political ones. Everyone has their opinion and their opinion is right, be damned with everyone elses eh?
No I like what you say, it rings true. Just..without the moron part, that's an opinion.

Hello all:
I have twin boys who are almost two! Hard to believe it - the time seems to fly by...sigh. So - I am looking for advice, experiences, etc.
I am thinking about trying for another baby...or two (twins!) - since we have fertility problems - we would definitely go the IVF route and of course, that means we could have twins again! We would only go back with 2 embryos at the most.
So...here's my issue. I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at 29 weeks with the boys - was placed in the hospital and delivered them via c-section at 31 weeks. They stayed in the NICU for 7 weeks - but they are healthy, happy, well adjusted boys - no significant medical problems - thank goodness. I am wondering if anyone has dealt with the second pregnancy/pre-eclampsia issue...
advice is needed - should I go for it?

from what i gather, it's a lament; waiting for morning to wake the ones you love is all you've got left. It's too late to call, so we'll trust that in the morning that the people we care for will still be alive. but at every occasion, and at any time you're prepared for a funeral, prepared for the age when your loved ones start to die off.
0very well said.Flag DeathAndAllHisFriendson July 14, 2010+1I think this is closest. I think when hes saying "im coming up only to hold you under" hes talking about someone really sick, and then they get better, only to get sick again, hence pulling everyone back under. And the part about trees and leaves? The leaves have the trees to hold their hope, they dont need to worry. Its a metaphor for hope, and giving up that hope, as in when you die.0to be honest i think your is my favorite review but i dont think that it explains the whole song... it works with some parts but not so much others unless you can explain
-"I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong"
and why hes ready to die as well.
if youve got answers im all ears but im not seeing for everything he says, just some. pretty interputation though.Flag soundandfuryon January 13, 20110Whitetide is spot on in my opinion. Now for the beginning of the song it sounds to me like he is singing of someone he knows perhaps a family member that he doesn't have a good relationship with. The line "I'm coming up only to hold you under, I'm coming up only to show you wrong" To me says the person he is singing about doesn't agree with his entire way of life or perhaps treated him badly so the only interaction they would have would be negative. Holding them under could be a reference to his frustration with this person or he feels his presence holds this person down emotionally. "And to know you is hard and we wonder, to know you all wrong we were" He is saying being involved with this person is difficult because of the disagreements they have however he realizes he didn't fully know this person. Saying "we" leads me to believe hes speaking of a group of friends that know this person or his family and he is speaking of a member. "To know me as hardly golden is to know me all wrong, they were". He is reversing it on himself saying they don't know him as they make assumptions that he is "hardly golden" and they are wrong because they don't know what lies in his heart and mind. Death brings about the end of all the presumptions about one another and lets us know what truly matters "at every occasion one brilliant day funeral" this could also be the death of the presumptions. As leafs grow older they wither and fall from their tree. As humans get older most tend to lose hope I feel "to the outside, the dead leafs, they all blow before they died had trees to hang their hope" says this. "They all blow" also says how someone can get lost in this crazy mixed up world. This song speaks volumes to me as I have a very strained relationship with a family member, I think ill of him and I know he thinks ill of me. He treated my very badly so at this point I would only come up to hold him under.Flag doubleentendreon January 17, 20110I believe that perhaps this song is about the sun "Morning to wake you; it's all we got" means to me the sunrise "I'm coming up only to hold you under" means to me perhaps..rising to hold us under its life giving power..."I'm coming up only to show you wrong" to me means perhpas...all the bad antics carried out are mostly done at night no? in the day time all is bright and baddies are not seen as much...and of course "At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral" to me means the sunset every single day

"I'm coming up only to hold you under, I'm coming up only to show you wrong"
Is what you'd say if you had a bad relationship with someone you really loved. I'm showing up to your funeral because you thought I wouldn't. I'm coming because I have to, I'm coming for a variety of different reasons (all except the obvious that they loved the person, despite a tumultuous relationship).

Our hopes were dashed to the ground before we could even find a steady footing. Summer had burst upon us sunny, hot and bright. I had painted my toenails my favorite shocking pink and had dug out my sandals; husband had slipped on his shorts and folded away his sweaters. We spent a few afternoons with the dog walking through the park, watching in wonder and amusement as Marty learned to feel comfortable wading into the cool water of the Erdre. His reluctance edged away just a little each time we went, each time he tentatively stuck a paw in the river, took a hesitant lick then waded in a little further than the previous visit. The heat pounded down on us as we strolled further into the park and poor Marty was reduced to a panting bundle of exhaustion, anxious for another refreshing dip on our way back to the car.
What pleasure not having to slip on a jacket and grab the umbrella whenever we desired a bit of fresh air and a stroll into the center of Nantes to run errands. I had begun waxing eloquent on the beauty of summer, extolling the limpid, aquamarine skies and the warm kiss of the breeze on my skin before the bite of the searing heat made us yearn to find our way back to the cool apartment. Yet here we are, one more time, sitting in the house taking refuge from, yes, the rain. Again. We duck out just long enough to walk a now miserable Marty or dash to the market to pick up an ingredient or two for a meal.
But we try and look on the bright side of things. We've taken advantage of the atrocious weather to clean and reorganize, getting Simon's bedroom ready for his return, straightening our respective "offices" and workspaces for more efficiency and comfort. We recently, finally, decided to sell my clumsy camera, traded it in towards a new one for JP while I took possession of his. He has been giving me lessons; one day I, too, will master and control my camera and begin taking fabulous food photos! Oh yes! We watch movies, read and write. He cooks and I bake and we even let the dishes pile up in the sink, testing our limits, seeing which one of us breaks down first and does them. I have been preparing my presentation on Food & Culture for IFBC, working with the girls to finalize details for our second From Plate to Page workshop and trying to keep up on my everyday writing obligations.
no longer to carry rain or usher storms,
but to add color to my sunset sky.
- Rabindranath Tagore
I have always loved rainy days when I could enjoy them indoors, watching the mist rising up from the sidewalks merging into the rushing drops as they fall like thick masses of twine from above. The windows fog up only catching the occasional spatter against the panes. The brilliant white stone of the buildings on the further side of the square fade to yellow in the somber, drab gray of the backdrop of sky. The lights dim, the room taking on mysterious hints of an old black & white film. Curling up with a good book in my corner of the sofa, all cozy and comfy, steaming mug of coffee perched within easy reach, then all is well in the world. But when I have been promised summer; when I have felt the warmth of the sun on my skin and the gentle kiss of a mild breeze; when we have enjoyed scorching afternoons and balmy evenings; when July rolls by and fades into August and summer has been a mere thought, ephemeral, fleeting; when the promise of those heady days of summer rich with picnics and outdoor romps bleeds painful and dark across the canvas of an all too early Autumn; when our plans are dashed to the ground and we are kept prisoner, lonely, anguished, sullen prisoners in our own home, then all is no longer well in our world.
What's with the weather, anyway? Blue skies augured another lovely day as I tumbled out of bed this morning. After working for an hour I realized that I still needed to dash to the market for fruit, vegetables and something appropriately lunch-like. The boy, home for the weekend, was still a-snooze and JP decided to slip on his hiking boots and head outside for a bit of country air. I was on my own. It was pushing 10:30, 10:45, 11:00 a.m. and the market becomes a battle of nerves, a contest of wills as the morning moves towards noon. Jostling through the crowds, elbowing one's way through the narrow aisles choking with shoppers, strollers and the mindlessly oblivious, working one's way up the market between the chilly glass cases and the wooden stands filled to capacity with the late-Sunday morning crowd is more than some can endure. So I knew that it was time to leave. I tied on my pink hightops, shrugged on my raincoat, grabbed the basket and ran. The sun was indeed out, albeit rather hesitantly, so no need to take my cap (or so I thought). I calmly, cheerfully did my marketing, scooping up a brown paper bagful of gorgeous mirabelles, tiny jewel-like plums of an elegantly golden yellow streaked with the reds and purples of a sunset; sweet, sweet Reines-Claudes; peaches and nectarines; a basket brimming with good things. Yet as I stepped out of the market, I was met with a veritable deluge. What?! I thought that we were finally finished with this madness! And then, as I stood there wondering how quickly it would pass and whether or not I should wait it out or go ahead and make a dash for it, I thought of JP. Out on his lovely promenade in the countryside, his Sunday morning healthful stroll out in the green.
Well, all's well that ends well and although we both arrived home rather damp, to say the least, we dried off and warmed up, no worse for wear and sat down to a hot lunch. JP had taken some shots with his new camera and I had gotten some chores taken care of and some letters sent. I still hover somewhere between love and hate when it comes to the chill, damp, dreariness of these unexpected rainy days, between the coziness of our safe haven indoors and the yearning to be outside warming in the summer sun. Autumn seems to want nothing more than to claim her place well ahead of schedule. But I realize that with my trip to New Orleans and Florida nearing that I should appreciate and enjoy the cool season we are having while I can. I have been warned that Louisiana in August makes the searing, stifling heat of a Florida summer seem meek in comparison, so I am bracing myself. Yet how I look forward to discovering this magical city, the kingdom of gastronomy and all the good things she has to offer. How excited I am at the prospect of the conference; meeting and spending time with people, friends I have come to know only on the internet; attending the sessions and learning so much; speaking on a subject of which I am so passionate about, food and culture, and hopefully inspiring others to think about it, see it in a whole new light. And how happy to find myself in Florida with my mother in my childhood home; how much pleasure derived from rediscovering old school chums and old haunts; how anxious I am to see my baby again, to shop with him, eat all that I can't get in France with him and just see him all grown up. So, yes, I will put up with the rain just a little while longer, content, knowing what awaits me shortly.
Without the rain there would be no rainbow.
- G.K. Chesterton
And Mathilde always brings a ray of bright sunshine whenever she comes over to bake with me. We made the absolutely delicious, fruity Greengage Galette and we made these Lemon, Blueberry and Poppyseed Muffins from a cookbook that I had offered her for Christmas. She is passionate about baking, but as a beginner I wanted to offer her a book that was both simple and inspiring, and this one by Trish Deseine certainly is. Tangy lemons and sweet blueberries are the perfect match and nothing says Summer more. Add to that the subtle crunch of poppyseeds and these muffins are not only simple enough for a beginning baker to make but absolutely delicious. The only change we made to this recipe other than adapting the quantities of lemon and poppyseeds to our own taste was the addition of whole blueberries to the muffins, which, for some odd reason, Ms. Deseine does not do. Go ahead, make these yourself and prolong the warm days of summer for just a little longer, no matter what the weather is outside.
From I Love Cake by Trish Deseine
12 normal muffins + 9 mini muffins
1 cup + 1 Tbs (150 g) flour
1 tsp baking powder
¾ cup (150 g) granulated brown sugar
1 Tbs poppyseeds, or more or less as you like
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
¼ cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries, lightly tossed in a bit of flour just to coat
Juice of 1 lemon
3 – 4 Tbs powdered (confectioner's) sugar
A few blueberries to decorate
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line muffin tins with paper cups.
Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, the poppyseeds and the finely grated lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Stir or whisk to combine.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegetable oil, lemon juice and the lightly beaten eggs. Stir or whisk together gently just until combined and well blended. Do not over mix. Fold in the blueberries.
Fill the muffin cases ¾ full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the muffins, removing from the oven when slightly puffed, set in the center (the surface may be just cracking) and beginning to color a golden brown. Remove the paper cases with the muffins from the tins and allow to cool on racks.
Prepare the glaze by stirring the powdered sugar into the lemon juice until smooth and slightly thickened – taste and add a bit more sugar if you want it sweeter. Carefully spoon glaze onto each cooled muffin, making sure to cover the entire surface. Serve decorated with a blueberry tossed in a bit of granulated white sugar perched on each muffin, if desired.

Then, he was sent to Chicago at the trade deadline, and everything changed. He was thrown into a team preparing for a playoff run that would lead to the franchise's first championship, and he couldn't have been happier.
"It was more exciting than anything," Mylymok said. "To go from a team at the bottom to a team that has a chance to win a championship, as a player, it is all you can ask for and you just hope to contribute. It is exciting to be a part of the formula."
Winning the 1998 Turner Cup is definitely Mylymok's favorite Wolves memory, but he remembers the end of Game 7 like it was yesterday.
"We were playing Detroit, our biggest rival – both teams had a strong distaste for each other – and we were at home in front of 17,000 fans," he explained. "I remember it being such a cool series and then finally in the last game, we got the lead at the end of the game and you could see the fans' faces. They knew we had it won, and I just looked around the rink and soaked it in. It was probably the first time all season that I got nervous – after we had wrapped it up."
Mylymok feels that you form a special bond with your teammates when you win a championship, and he has kept in touch with many of them, including current Wolves GM Wendell Young.
After the 1999-00 championship season, Mylymok moved to Boise, Idaho, where he spent his final four years playing with the ECHL Steelheads. Mylymok still resides in Boise, with his wife and two boys, ages seven and nine. He is the head of youth hockey in Boise and coaches his kids' squirt teams.
"I knew in my heart that I was done playing," he said. "I was fortunate enough to be able to play as long as I wanted to. I played in some great cities and was able to end my career in a place I wanted to live.
"So for me, to finish and play in Boise, it was a sense of relief because I knew I was done and I knew I wanted to start a life here," Mylymok concluded.

At length, Bugay, having run out of colorful metaphors (not to mention rational arguments), went right to middle school toilet humor:
As it is, interacting with you is as distasteful as stepping in a dog turd -- I don't want to deal with a dog turd either.
Isn't that wonderfully charitable? He went on:
. . . interacting with you is like stepping in a dog turd. 'Nuff said.
Well, it wasn't "'nuff said". He had more "manure metaphors":
. . . I think I have come up with a very fine metaphor: dealing with you is like stepping in dog poop. I don't know why it's like that. But that's precisely what it's like talking to you. You're a force of doggie nature.
Thus, Bugay exercises his manifestly profound Christian charity by making the fine-tuned distinction that dealing with me is like stepping in dog poop, rather than calling me dog poop. This proves, I guess, that he thinks I am regenerated (the very thing that he refused to answer when I inquired of him in the same combox). See the related paper: Has Martin Luther's "Snow-Covered Dunghill" Mystery-Legend Been Solved?!
Not content with sending insults my way; John proceeded to trash my entire readership as well. In the post I had already noted how he characterized them (you) as "mockers" ("In the meantime, please take down the link to our PayPal account. One donation has come in from this bunch of mockers, and I've returned it"). He also denied the Christian genuineness of their acts of charity ("Brent, you'll have a hard time convincing me that anything coming from this group is Christian"). Then in the combox discussion he added four more insults (I'll keep y'all posted on any more that come in as the story develops):
. . . you've got a rogue's gallery full of readers here who take your grand-standing word for things and thus miss out on huge swaths of reality in the process.
Hanging out here is a sure sign of bad character.
. . . you've got a lot of bottom feeders around here, who can't deal with the truth.
You've got to pick some marginal personal item and let the mockers go to town on that.
. . . you compassionate and merciful mockers . . . [in the combox below]
. . . the snippets are for the individuals here who still have consciences -- unlike those of you with the seared consciences . . . [in the combox below]
Note that John's reference to "seared consciences" of folks here refers to the following Bible passage:
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (RSV) Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, [2] through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared,
This is what John thinks of some of my readers (and likely myself, as the "ringleader": leading all of you astray) . . . He probably won't have the guts to name persons he places in this category; just as he was too much of a coward to state outright that I am supposedly unregenerate. But the insinuation is very clear. Those of us in this category, according to John, follow demons and the devil and are obviously no Christians.
Look at the bright side. It could be a lot worse . . . Personally, I think it's kind o' catchy: my readers can have the nickname of "catfish" just like the old pitcher on the Oakland A's!
On the other hand, it ought to be realized that a "bottom feeder" is an organism that usually eats you-know-what. Many of them are detritivores: the diet of which is described as "decomposing plant and animal parts as well as organic fecal matter".
Therefore, Bugay takes Luther's fecal obsession a step further: all he said about me was that interacting with me was like stepping in poop. But my readers are even an even lower species of scum of the earth than I am: y'all actually eat poop, according to John Bugay . . . How wonderfully edifying . . . altogether typical of the scatological rhetoric of anti-Catholics, though, following Luther in this regard:
Birth and Origin of the Pope; one of a series of eight pieces of "art" commissioned by Martin Luther, by the artist Lucas Cranach, for Luther's work Against the Papacy at Rome, Founded by the Devil (March 1545). Luther told Cranach what to depict, and wrote a rhyming verse for each plate.
Protestant scholar Mark U. Edwards (Luther's Last Battles: Politics and Polemics, 1531-1546; Ithaca, New York and London: Cornell University Press, 1983) wrote, describing this travesty:
[It] shows the Pope and three cardinals being expelled from the anus of a female devil while three furies are nursing and caring for three infant popes . . . a graphic echo of Luther's assertion in his treatise that the pope had been born from the devil's behind.
This sad saga continues, as John's friend TAO continues the slander and mockery and calling good evil, in a new post that I have analyzed, with a dismantling of his ultra-eisegetical, pathetic use of the Bible:
Anti-Catholic TAO Compares Catholics Who Want to Help Pal John Bugay During His Financial Distress, to the King of Sodom (While John is Similar to Abraham and the Prophet Elisha); His Sophistical Bible Butchery and Eisegesis Exposed.

When Google Chrome was launched, many people wondered why there's no support for Google Toolbar or for extensions that are available for Firefox. After fixing the glaring bugs reported by users, improving bookmark management, adding autocomplete and starting to work on Mac and Linux versions, the next step is to open the browser to developers.
Google published a document that details how extensions will work in Google Chrome. "Chromium can't be everything to all people. People use web browsers in a variety of environments and for a wide variety of jobs. Personal tastes and needs vary widely from one user to the next. The feature needs of one person often conflict directly with those of another. Further, one of the design goals of Chromium is to have a minimal light-weight user interface, which itself conflicts with adding lots of features."
The extension development should be similar to developing web pages, the browser should include support for silent autoupdate, extensions should not be able to crash the browser process and they should be run in sandboxed processes. An interesting side-effect would be that you won't have to restart the browser after installing an extension, like in Firefox.
Google lists some extensions that should work in Chrome: bookmarking tools like a toolbar for Delicious, content filtering extensions like Adblock (sic!), download managers like DownThemAll and other popular extensions that are available for Firefox.
"We should start by building the infrastructure for an extension system that can support different types of extensibility. The system should be able to support an open-ended list of APIs over time, such as toolbars, sidebars, content scripts (for Greasemonkey-like functionality), and content filtering (for parental filters, malware filters, or adblock-like functionality). Some APIs will require privileges that must be granted, such as access to the history database or access to mail.google.com."
In the end, we should see an extension gallery hosted by Google that will initially include a list of popular Firefox extensions. Chrome won't support XUL, so the extensions aren't going to be ported automatically. The latest Chromium buils already include an initial Greasemonkey implementation, so there's one less extension to build.

Ashe County can move forward with advertising a request for proposals (RFP) in search of the county's next ambulance service provider.
The Ashe County Board of Commissioners approved advertising the RFP for Ashe County's ambulance contract in a 3-1 vote during last Monday's BOC meeting, with Commissioner Gerald Price cast the dissenting vote.
Although the current ambulance contract doesn't expire until June 30, 2014, Gambill said it is important to approve the RFP promptly in order for bidders to look the contract over.
"I want to give anyone interested in giving bids adequate time to do so," said Gambill.
Gambill reported no companies have bid or asked for more information about the county's ambulance contract so far, leading Gambill to ask if the board if they were ready to advertise the RFP.
"Should Patty start advertising?" asked Ashe County Manager Dr. Pat Mitchell to the BOC.
Legally, the county is only required to advertise the contract locally, but Price said he believes advertising for the RFP should extend beyond the local media.
"We should find some kind of network to shoot it all over the nation," said Price. He also said advertising should be done "whole-heartedly and not partially."
Discussions about advertising the RFP will resume at the next BOC meeting.
According to Gambill, Ashe, Watauga and Hoke counties are the only counties that use a solely privatized emergency transportation system. Mecklenburg County also uses a private system, but it functions differently that Ashe County's system.
"There are a hundred counties and lots of different ways they are organized (in emergency transportation)," said Gambill.
Because so many counties operate their own emergency transportation service, only a few private contractors are available to bid for Ashe County's contract.
Gambill said Blue Ridge Medical Transportation, the county's current ambulance provider, was the only contractor that showed consistent interest when Ashe County placed the contract up for bid in 2002 and 2008, besides one other contractor.
The new contract will last from June 30, 2014 through June 30, 2020. Proposals will be received by the county manager's office before 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20, 2013, when the proposals will be opened and reviewed by the county manager and emergency management coordinator.
All bidders must furnish to the county, upon request, evidence they are a responsible bidder. The county reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, and the contract will be awarded to the contractor based on the information provided in their proposals, according to a document from the Ashe County Courhouse.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Boy Scouts of America will partner to present an original production about the history and values of scouting.
"A Century of Honor," commemorates the 100-year relationship between the church and the BSA. The production will be broadcast at 7 p.m. Oct. 30 to thousands of church meeting houses across the United States. Lowcountry sites hosting the event are in Summerville at 511 East 5th North St. and West Ashley at 1519 Sam Rittenberg Blvd.
Scouts from all denominations and chartering organizations, members of regional Boy Scout Councils and community leaders will gather at 6 p.m. for celebratory activities before viewing the telecast. Among those planning to attend are the Coastal Carolina Council Scout Executive and Program Director and District Executives from most of the districts in the council, as well as Order of the Arrow ceremonial dance teams. The 85-minute telecast will include hundreds of Scouts and feature Scout choirs, historical vignettes, and videos highlighting important events, service and achievements from the past century. The telecast will also be streamed at scouts100.lds.org, where it will also be available for later viewing. The public is invited.
Carl E. Smith of Mount Pleasant, second counselor in the Charleston, Stake Presidency, has participated in scouting activities. He said "The strong relationship of the church and Boy Scouts of America is based on a mutual interest in helping boys and young men develop enduring personal values and live their duty to God."

I began 2011 with my first hard drive failure in many years - and the first since I started digitizing the piles of photographs and papers that are threatening to force us out of the house. It was unpleasant and ate up almost two weeks, but all has been restored. Given an actual excuse I'll take it.
I still managed to accomplish a few things. Here's how things stand.
Organizing Research goals -
- I am almost finished clearing the room that will become my workroom for processing the family papers. The papers themselves have been collected and are waiting to move in. Obviously no boxes got processed. I get a C on this.
- The website is closer to going live. I've completed the design, the Home Page, the geographical overviews, family page introductions and some individual pages. Given the limits on computer time this month I'm giving myself a solid A.
- No updating on the pedigree file. An F here, but I can live with it given the circumstances.
- I missed the biographical sketch. An F, but again, I'll forgive myself this.
- I published a Hampton brickwall post. An A.
- Posted at least a couple photos or transcriptions each week. Another A.
- Blog reading. It's hard to stop at 30 minutes of reading when there are so many wonderful things to read. I managed to keep to the schedule most days, but there were a couple that simply got away from me. Of course, if you average in the days I was pretty much offline I did beautifully! I earned a B here.
- I aced this. Of course, my goal was to stop doing research. Done. I get an A.

This film is fantastic! My PSE class loved it when we watched it and would like to see it again. This really brings awareness to kids about lesbian, gay and bisexual issues. I think it's a great way to teach pupils about bullying and it's concequences.

Platinum Package
Please read through the following notes. This will help you prepare for your Platinum Experience.
We will concentrate on photo's first - The photo's last a lifetime and we want to get the best photo possible. During this time please focus on the picture not interacting with the artist. Stay still and face the camera, you will have plenty of time to speak to the artist during the meet-and-greet after the photo session. We are taking 2 photo's - 1 being a safety to make sure we get a good shot.
You all purchased your packages online and we have a record of your e-mail address. You will receive an e-mail in 7 to 10 days, perhaps sooner, with a web address where you can download today's photos. All the photos will be posted and you will recognize yourself and download your photos. You can burn the photos to disc and take it to any photo shop for processing or even e-mail it to a photo shop for processing.
During the meet-and-greet, please be polite and don't monopolize the artist's time so everyone will get the chance to speak to the artist.
Please no personal cameras and individual photos - This takes away from meet-and-greet time and is discourteous to the artist. If you use a personal camera you will be asked to put it away and if you use it again you will be asked to leave...
You will receive directions with your tickets and pass the night of the show. If you are late arriving for the backstage line up you may miss the backstage opportunity.

By not releasing the exact seat location at the time of purchase we cut down the possibility of ticket brokers purchasing the seats that Joe has made available for his fans.

State Sales Tax
is charged on all orders. Why? Because Live Nation Merchandise is part of Live Nation. We manufacture and sell celebrity merchandise at live music events in every State and worldwide. As a "clicks and mortar" business entity, we are required to charge sales tax on all the merchandise we sell, online and offline.
Soon, we anticipate that national legislation will require all e-commerce brands to charge applicable sales tax. We are simply ahead of the game! Thank you for understanding. We think our premium quality merchandise makes it all worth it, and hope you do too.
Because charges for shipping and handling and gift-wraping are considered part of the product, by law these charges must be included when sales tax is calculated.
No sales tax is charged when buying gift certificates. Purchases paid for with gift certificates, however, will be charged applicable state sales tax.
As a rule of thumb, Live Nation Merchandise products are always in stock. From time to time, however, we may experience a surge of purchases for a particular item, which causes the item to be placed on backorder. If the product you wish to purchase isn't available, we will notify you by email within 48 hours after your order is placed and let you know when you can expect it. Live Nation Merchandise makes every effort to get your purchases to you as quickly as possible. Once the product is back in stock, it ships immediately to you.
