The responsibility for summing up each week's submissions jumps from blogger to blogger; this week it's my turn. Fifty people from across the globe submitted an interesting and eclectic group of recipes. I enjoyed reading them all.
The entries are described in the order they were received. If anyone finds an error, please let me know and I'll fix it right away. Next week's host is Gay from A Scientist in the Kitchen.
Alexandria, Virginia, USA
While readying her garden for spring, Cheryl of Gluten Free Goodness found a volunteer Vietnamese basil plant growing in a patio crack. Cheryl used the basil to garnish and give flavor to Thai-Style Red Curry with Chicken.
Trio of Preserved Tomatoes
Manila, Philippines
Chicha Jo, of 80 Breakfasts, bought a passel of organic red and green tomatoes that had been "grown using local community labor at fair wages." In an epic cook-a-thon, she made Pickled Green Tomatoes to serve with fish or burgers, Red Tomato Chutney, a versatile condiment, and Oven-Roasted Tomatoes, which she's already used in salad, pasta, and a tart.
Farro with Mushrooms, Thyme, and Balsamic Vinegar
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Kalyn, of Kalyn's Kitchen (and creator of Weekend Herb Blogging), has trouble finding time to cook out of all her accumulated cookbooks. Luckily for us, Kalyn dove into one of her books and made Farro with Mushrooms, Thyme, and Balsamic Vinegar. Kalyn also gives tips for using farro, an ancient Mediterranean high-protein grain.
Spanish Omelet with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Mill Valley, California, USA
Anna of Anna's Cool Finds shows off her shopping skills, and demonstrates why her blog is aptly named, with a wonderful Spanish Omelet and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce served with ocean friendly Canadian lobster tail. Anna says the quick and easy pepper sauce, made with pantry staples, can also be used to enliven roast meats.
Palek Paneer (Spiced Spinach and Cheese)
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Elizabeth of Blog from OUR Kitchen made her favorite vegetable: an Indian spinach and cheese dish called Palek Paneer. This is so good it converted Elizabeth from a spinach hater to a spinach lover. Palek Paneer can be made well ahead, and is nicely seasoned with ginger, cumin, mustard seed, and garlic.
Matar Paneer (Spiced Peas and Cheese)
London, Ontario, Canada
Lisa of Lisa's Kitchen made spiced peas and cheese from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan called Matar Paneer. When you eat this, Lisa says the warm paneer cheese melts in your mouth and nicely balances the spicy tomato sauce.
Fresh Cardamom and Rocket (Arugula) Salad
Athens, Greece
Ivy of Kopiaste went to a farmer's market and discovered fresh cardamom greens. The seller told Ivy to use it in salads, but warned her fresh cardamom is a male aphrodisiac. (The Greek verb kardamono/καρδαμώνω means "to become invigorated.") Ivy made a delicious Fresh Cardamom and Rocket (Arugula) Salad that included cherry tomatoes, green onions, dried figs, and fresh strawberries.
Black Bean Chili-Soup
Missouri, USA
Susan of Farmgirl Fare made an easy, healthy, and delicious Black Bean Chili-Soup packed with herbs and vegetables. The soup can be made ahead or frozen for use on days when finding time to cook is impossible. For maximum flavor, Susan advises to buy whole spices and grind them at home; I whole-heartedly agree.
Foxtail Millet with Dal and Fenugreek Leaves
Srivalli of Cooking 4 All Seasons cooks foxtail millet instead of rice and serves it with Dal and Fresh Fenugreek Leaves. Her fascinating post explains the variety of ways that fenugreek is used as food: seeds, fresh greens, and dried greens. (The word fenugreek comes from the Latin for "Greek hay;" in Greece it's called Trigoniskos – Τριγωνίσκος.)
Ricotta Cheese Spread with Herbs
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
KC of Kits Chow loves Boursin cheese but hasn't been eating it since starting the South Beach diet. To ease her longing, KC created a lovely Ricotta Cheese Spread with Herbs seasoned with cilantro, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, and lemon zest.

Red Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Herbed Parsnip Soup
Greenwich Village, New York, USA
The Chocolate Lady says that parsnips are at their sweetest and most intense in early spring. For the last days of Passover, she made Herbed Parsnip Soup, a comforting soup guaranteed to sooth even the most harried among us.
Split Pea Soup
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Johanna of Green Gourmet Giraffe was inspired by medieval recipes for pease pudding to make vegetarian Split Pea Soup. She uses smoked paprika instead of ham to round out the soup's flavor. For food history buffs, Johanna describes pea soup's importance in years past.
Oregano Crusted Wavy Pork Skewers
Belgrade, Serbia
Marija of Palachinka layers thin pork slices with zucchini and smoked cheese, skewers them, and coats them with oregano flavored bread crumbs to make Oregano Crusted Wavy Pork Skewers. Marija cooks interesting Serbian food; when you're done reading about pork skewers, check out the rest of her wonderful blog.
Liver in Onion and White Wine Sauce
Croatia (Dalmatia) via the UK
Maninas of the wonderful Food Matters blog shares her mother's recipe for Liver in Onion and White Wine Sauce. Sweet carrots and onions combine with white wine, garlic, and parsley to make a typically Croatian sauce. When served over buttery soft mashed potatoes, Maninas' liver dish is heavenly.
Carpaccio with Dandelion Salad and Truffle Oil
Anchorage, Alaska, USA
Laurie of Mediterranean Cooking in Alaska (yep, that's me) used the first, sweet dandelions of the year to make Carpaccio with Dandelion Salad and Truffle Oil. I also give some basic rules to follow when foraging for wild greens.
Tamarind Rice
Los Angeles, California, USA
Divya Vikram of Dil Se says Tamarind Rice is the ultimate comfort food and can be prepared in minutes. She mixes cooked rice with lots of Indian spices, chili, and garlic. Tamarind Rice can be made with pantry staples, so is a handy dish for days when you don't have time to go shopping.
Dhokla Sandwiches
California, USA
For days when she wants something attractive, delicious, and low-calorie, Mansi of Fun and Food makes Dhokla Sandwiches filled with cilantro chutney. The bottom layer is a steamed chickpea flour cake and the top layer a steamed chili and cilantro cake. Dhokla Sandwiches are perfect finger food that can be served with your choice of dipping sauce.
Bottle Gourd Curry (Bolu Kodhel)
India via the UK
Sia of Monsoon Spice came home after a long flight from India and needed simple comfort food. She made her amah's mother's recipe for Bottle Gourd Curry which mixes silky bottle gourd with spicy sambar powder and sweet jaggery. (Use the links if you need help understanding what, for me, are exotic ingredients.)
Parsley Pesto with Walnuts
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Peter of Souvlaki for the Soul makes Parsley Pesto with Walnuts and serves it on toasted pita bread and also tossed with pasta. Peter says it's delicious and highly addictive. For anyone interested in food photography, Peter's blog is a must; he consistently takes some of the best and most innovative photographs available in the food blogosphere.
Yellow Rice & Black Bean Salad
Lima, Peru
Last Friday, Gretchen of Canela & Comino woke up to a wind storm; winter is arriving in Peru. Gretchen, however, is still pretending it's summer so made a healthy Yellow Rice and Black Bean Salad.
Millet and Red Pepper Pilaf
Ontario, Canada
Ricki of Diet, Dessert and Dogs used her knowledge of gluten free grains to whip up a 20-minute Millet and Red Pepper Pilaf. Curry and coconut milk add Asian undertones, and complement the sweet red peppers. Pretty to look at, pleasingly aromatic, and ready in a flash, Ricki's millet pilaf is a wonderful side dish.
Mom's Stuffed Artichokes
San Diego, California, USA
Susan of Food Blogga first helped her mom make vegetarian stuffed artichokes when she was 6. After moving to California, the artichoke-lovers' promised land, Susan called her mom for advice on how to make them by herself. Over the years, Susan has perfected her Mom's Stuffed Artichokes and now shares the recipe with us.
Roasted Tomatoes with Fresh Chives
Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, USA
Pam of Sidewalk Shoes is blessed with too many chives in her garden. One way she uses them is in quick and easy Roasted Tomatoes with Fresh Chives. Pam says roasting sweetens and deepens the flavor of even off-season tomatoes.
Lamb Shanks in Port Sauce
Victoria, Australia
Autumn has arrived in Australia, and Pam of The Backyard Pizzeria turns to her favorite cut of meat to make the perfect fall dish: Lamb Shanks in Port Sauce. Pam cleverly uses a pressure cooker to turn this normally slow-cooked dish into one that is tender and succulent in only an hour.
Black Bean Chicken Chili
Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
Mandira of Ahaar had some leftover chicken and used it to make Black Bean Chicken Chili. Green peppers and carrots give substance to the chili, which is warmly spiced with cumin and chili powder.
Sourdough Rosemary Olive Oil Bread
Arcata, California, USA
Tommi of Brown Interior makes her first WHB entry a great one with La Brea Bakery's recipe for Sourdough Rosemary Olive Oil Bread. Tommi's loaves have a beautiful tender crumb from the added olive oil, which also makes the crust thin and crispy.
Pineapple Sage
Linda of Snowys grows Pineapple Sage as an ornamental perennial and provides links for Pineapple Sage Pound Cake and Pineapple Sage Tea. The gorgeous red flowers can also add a tasty accent to fruit salads.
Portuguese Chicken
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Australians are obsessed with Portuguese Chicken for good reason, says Anna of Morsels & Musings. The spicy chicken is seasoned with Piri Piri (African Birdseye) Peppers which, at 175,000 Scoville units, are hotter than Thai and Pequin peppers but not as hot as Habaneros or Scotch Bonnets. To cool down your mouth, Anna throws in a bonus recipe for Coriander Soup.
Gingko Nut and Mushroom Custards
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Lucy of Nourish Me searched out gingko nuts at an Asian grocery and used their pungent flesh to make Gingko Nut and Mushroom Custards. Seasoned with shiitake mushrooms and smoked tofu, Lucy says the barely set, quivering custards are a welcome restorative. Speaking of restoratives, Lucy's lyrical writing and striking photographs make Nourish Me one of mine.
Roasted Garlic Oil
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Kevin of Closet Cooking claims he used to make boring meals, but you'll never believe it if you read his prolific postings. This week, Kevin enters an easy recipe for Roasted Garlic Oil. Making the oil leaves you with a bonus bowl of roasted garlic that can be tossed with pasta, spread on toast, slipped under chicken skin, or used in a myriad of other ways; just don't throw it away.
Asparagus Chèvre Quiche
Les Pineaux, Vendée, France
Katie of Thyme for Cooking dreams of eating Asparagus Chèvre Quiche in the Monet-designed gardens of Giverny and takes us along to this floral paradise. Katie's spendid quiche has an interesting brown rice crust and also includes prosciutto, tomatoes, and basil.
Braised Peas with Pancetta and Onions
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Haalo of Cook Almost Anything brings us her mom's recipe for Braised Peas with Pancetta and Onion. Fresh peas are combined with slowly braised onions, garlic, and pancetta in a glorious side dish. Haalo says she never has leftovers when she makes this; it's that good.
Spring Lamb Stew
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Tammy of Food on the Food braises spring lamb until it's fork-tender and mixes it with fresh asparagus, peas, tarragon, and chervil to make Amanda Hesser's Spring Lamb Stew from The Cook and the Gardener. If you haven't seen WHB first-timer Tammy's blog, I recommend it – she's a humorist as well as an excellent cook.
Dolmadakia (Stuffed Grape Leaves and Zucchini Flowers)
Hania, Crete, Greece
Organically Cooked is one of my favorite Greek food blogs. Its author, Maria, is a born storyteller and purveyor of healthy, tasty, and traditional Cretan foods. For her first time participating in WHB, Maria makes rice-stuffed Dolmadakia (Stuffed Grape Leaves and Zucchini Flowers). Maria cleverly uses Dolmadakia as caps for oven-baked Stuffed Tomatoes.
Pasta with Pink Peppercorns
Chennai, India
Arundathi of My Food Blog approached pink peppercorns with trepidation after learning they can be toxic if eaten in large quantities. However, when she made Pasta with Pink Peppercorns with exactly 5 peppercorns, Arundathi discovered they added a delicate and wonderful flavor to her vegetarian pasta recipe.
Chinois Pancakes
New York, USA
Siri of Siri's Corner continues her series of vegetarian Wolfgang Puck recipes with her post on Chinois Pancakes. Though the pancakes were originally designed to accompany Puck's Chinese Duck with Plum Sauce, Siri says they can be served with just about anything. The savory pancakes, seasoned with garlic, ginger, and green onions look like beautiful lace.
Zoe's Green Beans (Fasolakia tis Zoes)
California, USA
Green beans braised in tomato sauce are a classic of the Greek table, and for good reason: they taste wonderful. At Mama's Taverna, clever Lulu gives us a taste of the debates that rage in Greece over the correct way to make Fasolakia (and every other classic dish), as well as a recipe and step-by-step photographic instructions.
Creamy Quinoa with Banana, Cassia, and Almonds
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
With fall's arrival in Melbourne, Another Outspoken Female from Confessions of a Food Nazi is drawn to hot breakfasts. Creamy Quinoa with Banana, Cassia, and Almonds hits just the right spot. Ms. Outspoken hand-grates cassia bark for seasoning, and prefers its spicier flavor to that of milder true cinnamon.
Mushroom Balls
Davis, California, USA
Sher of What Did You Eat? loves meatballs, but decided it was time to make something that would let her vegetarian friends "experience the joy of popping a savory orb into their mouths." She serves her delicious gluten-free Mushroom Balls with spiced red sauce and says they look meaty, but taste like concentrated mushrooms.
Cheese, Olive, and Buttermilk Herb Bread
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
When Y of Lemonpi was young, she made her brother hot breakfasts showcasing cheese, one of his favorite foods. In honor of those long ago days, Y recently made her brother Cheese, Olive, and Buttermilk Herb Bread. With oodles of herbs and two kinds of cheese, Y's beautiful bread is best served warm.
Tapenade (Olive Spread)
Northern Germany
Ulrike of Küchenlatein used thyme and rosemary from her garden to make a Provençal olive spread called Tapenade. Anchovies and capers add to Tapenade's flavor, which is best served on freshly baked bread.
French Beans with Spicy Dried Shrimp
For busy nights when Wiffy of Noob Cook wants flavorful food in a hurry, she makes French Beans with Spicy Dried Shrimp. Green beans are cut in 1/2" lengths, seasoned with chili, garlic, and dried shrimp, stir-fried for 5 minutes, and served with steamed rice.
Spareribs with Bitter Gourd Soup
Soli Deo Gloria of Hearth and Home learned to remove the bitterness from bitter gourds by making Spareribs with Bitter Gourd Soup. Since bitter gourd is such a healthy vegetable, Ms. Gloria was happy to find a way to make it that even children like.
Picnic by the Loire
Ronell of My French Kitchen kindly takes us along for a Picnic by the Loire River. She packs a hamper with beautiful herbs and vegetables (and vinaigrette on the side), and adds cheese, bread, wine, and ice cream for dessert. If wishes were horses, I'd join her on the riverbank. Since they aren't, I'll bask in Ronell's lovely pictures and be inspired by her good time.
Oregano Ravioli
Ontario, Canada
Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies shows genius by making Oregano Ravioli for her maiden voyage with WHB. She works fresh oregano directly into pasta dough and stuffs the ravioli with cheese filling. Natashya serves her ravishing ravioli with grilled chicken.
Wild Garlic Chutney
Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Maybelle's Mom of Feeding Maybelle is enjoying the rewards of foraging for wild plants (a woman after my own heart). She used the spoils from a recent expedition to make Wild Garlic Chutney and ate it spread on buttered toast. The chutney is a terrific example of the wonderful food that can be made with wild gleanings.
Greek Mushroom Filo Cups
New York, USA
"Musky, woodsy, just enough crunch" is how Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook describes her Greek Mushroom Filo Cups. Susan's knack for evocative food descriptions and tasty recipes makes her blog one of my favorites. The mushroom cups, seasoned with coriander seed and fresh thyme, were a superb accompaniment for Susan's late afternoon apéritif.
Chicory, Potato, and Dolcelatte Salad
United Kingdom
Scott of Real Epicurean mixes hot potatoes with gorgonzola (dolcelatte), mustard dressing, and fresh Belgian endive (chicory) for a lovely Chicory, Potato, and Dolcelatte Salad. Lemon juice and a sprinkling of walnuts finish this luscious salad.

(This question might be too vague, feel free to edit or vote for closing.)
In math there are usually lots of non-existence theorems. When someone presents such a theorem, one natural response is "why shall I even care", or "why should such a thing be impressive".
The problem is, in the case of a non-existence theorem, usually all examples are trivial. If you tell some undergrad non-constant bounded entire functions don't exist, he/she will probably reply with a shrug. Similar thing happen to me and my friends when we talk about some fancier theorems (or when I see a paper stating such a non-existence theorem). I feel like it's really hard to convince people (or convince myself) "a priori this thing could exist, however by this awesome theorem it doesn't."
I think people would be impressed if all hypothesis look innocent, like the one in Liouville's theorem on entire functions, or maybe the fact that people have seen the existence of differentiable bounded non-constant functions helps. In general it is not necessary that all hypothesis look friendly. How would one figure out whether a non-existence theorem is a good one or is true just because one of the hypothesis is insanely strong?

In early June, a number of reports on tree damage on areas treated with Imprelis began to come in. The first reports that I heard were from the east coast. Then pictures and reports started coming in from Chicago. Yesterday, I heard that there are several reports from the Atlanta area. The two most commonly damaged trees have been Norway spruce and white pine.
It is important to note that there are many locations where the product was used and no tree damage has occurred. Also, not all trees on the treated areas are damaged.
The pictures below are Norway Spruce and were taken in the Chicago area. The damage appears to be systemic, meaning that the material is being taken up by the roots and translocated to new growth. On this site, about 20 trees out of approximately 120 susceptible plants were damaged. In this case, there was heavy rain after treatment that may have increased movement of the product into the rootzone.
Dupont released a letter last night to users of the product. Their recommendation is as follows:
"As a precaution, until we can more fully understand the circumstances, and whether Imprelis may have contributed to the observed symptoms, do not apply Imprelis where Norway Spruce or White Pine are present on, or in close proximity to, the property to be treated. Additionally, when applying Imprelis, be careful that no spray treatment, drift or runoff occurs that could make contact with trees, shrubs and other desirable plants, and stay well away from exposed roots and the rootzone of trees and shrubs. Consult a certified arborist if you are uncertain about the root zone of specific tree species."
My personal recommendation is to be very cautious with the use of this product until we know exactly what is going on. This story is just developing and I will keep you posted as new information is released.
Here are some additional links.

SO, I know that's a pretty grand title, and believe me, I'll get to that point. But to begin I have to explain the thought process that led me there.
I've had the idea for a while now that my life would be considerably better if I could fully control my own actions, based solely on reasonable decisions. However, this doesn't seem to be the current case. The other day, after having eaten half a pizza, I still had the other half left. I KNEW that: the calories would worsen my already burgeoning weight problem, that my girlfriend would be mad that I didn't save her dinner, and that there would be shame in my own lack of self control if I ate the pizza. I was even full, and knew that it would cause me some discomfort to carry the extra food around. But the smell of that cheese and pepperoni was too much, and I ate it anyways.
The ultimate result was worse than if I'd just put the half back in the fridge. I knew it was an unreasonable choice and that the end would be bad, but I made that decision anyways. And as an atheist, I find it very disturbing that I can't even enforce my own reason on myself. I've seen the same pattern evolve with homework, getting up in the morning, exercise, cleaning, masturbation, even things like my work. The immediate reward of procrastinating, eating, laying there, etc is overwhelmingly chosen, and I don't even usually like the outcome
I feel that if I were somehow able to force myself to make the "correct" choices, my life would be better. I'd be healthier, I'd be fit, I'd go to bed on time, I'd get better grades, I'd live in a spotless apartment, and I'd have more money. There is no question that overriding my base desires would (a vast majority of the time) improve my life.
So now I admit, the title was just to catch your eye- it is a far reaching extension of my own observations about myself. It is a bit of a reach to assume that just this is the source of "man's suffering". But I do still pose the question- how can one overcome these short term, self-destructive, basic desires, these urges, in order to undoubtedly improve your life?
Views: 749
The lack of a need for self-respect can be very liberating. Obviously, that's the way it works for many people.
Isn't that just despair?
This is a mother of three speaking - you are a lazy, self-absorbed, spoiled, entitled, selfish brat, who, if you don't wake up, you will end up living in a quagmire, sans girlfriend and job, and the only thing left to you will be lots of hand manipulation, and how boring would all that be.
Just picture that in your head. You are the epitome of the self-absorbed kids that are sent to Africa to straighten them out, how would you like to see starving children nothing to eat, no education, then you may realize how lucky you are, and you are throwing everything away.
How's that, Lee? You're wasting your life away.
How do you overcome these urges? Grow a backbone.
I'm a bit insulted, and I don't think you're entirely accurate, but I see your point.
I just hate to see obviously bright people waste their abilities. It is just too easy to sit around, and not do anything constructive. You are far too young for this - that may start to happen when you eighty :) Bombing out is good - but there is a time for that - get your education done - then you can go the bahamas, just not at the moment. As for your girlfriend, the lack of respect for her is jaw dropping.
Hey, we're roughing you up in order to shake you up. It's nice that you care.
It is said, "Desire is the source of all sorrow." He who desires nothing, can never be disappointed.
The inability to control one's urges is often a sign of some deeper unhappiness. Consider what might be causing you long term discontent and try to take real world steps to fix it.
I have also chosen a life of indulgence, but urges are the source of my pleasure! The thing is though, I know I have to get to the gym 5 days a week, and go easy on the junk food, or I'm gonna just feel like shit all the time. I know I only have this one life and I want to experience everything, but if you try to do it all at once you'll have a pretty short life, and that would suck. P.S. Another key to a happy life is keep your significant other happy. Save her at least a slice next time!
Sorry Michael, but REALLY?! "Save her at least a slice next time!" - just enough to show her what she missed?! I'd hate to be a fly on the wall in THAT situation. I wouldn't have eaten more than my share in the first place, but if I had only one slice left, I'd be better off flushing it and claiming the dog ate her half!
And if I didn't have a dog, I'd borrow one!
Of course, if he REALLY felt badly (which we know he didn't or he wouldn't have eaten it in the first place), the best alternative might have been to say, "Honey, you deserve better than pizza - I'm taking you out to dinner --"

We are back to school but not too busy. intentionally so. which is why i haven't posted in nearly a month. no rush to get back online. the kids are growing too fast. the internet, and my blog can wait.
Christmas was good, and I again used the break to bind a quilt. Then took it outside to take pictures with Noelle and my brother's springer spaniel, Bentley.
Oh, thank you for all the input on the backing. We went with the Crosshatch Sketch for a neutral back. I think it's perfect.
Happy New Year!

Used 2019 ChevroletImpala Premier w/2LZ Sedan
- Stock: 94176
KBB.com Consumer Reviews
- 5.0
Best Car I have ever owned!
By Timmer on Sunday, September 10, 2017I purchased a 2014 Impala LT in November 2013. Great ride, plenty of power (V6), excellent fuel economy (28-31). Still get compliments every week on this car. Huge trunk, fits four sets of golf clubs, and easily 5 adults. No maintenance problems whatsoever. One minor factory fix on a tail like leak. This car is super quiet , comfortable. Still have factory tires at 43K. Will change them soon as they are starting to get a little noisy. Plenty of leg room in back for passengers. Handling is great in wind, but marginal in snow.

Outstanding car
By Jim B. on Thursday, January 11, 2018We have owned this car for two months now. We have taken it on several short highway trips of about 100 miles round trip and really enjoyed driving it. Last weekend we took it on a getaway and drove about 350 miles each way. We have always owned comfortable cars. (Olds 98s, Grand Marquis, GMC Crew Cab, etc.) This car is more comfortable than any of the others. At the end of our trip we could not believe how good we felt. No ride fatigue at all! The ride of the Impala is incredibly smooth and quiet. Really like the blind spot warning. The seats are very comfortable and adjust easily to my 6 feet 3 inch frame as well as to my wifes 5 feet 2 inches. This is the first car I have ever driven in which I did not have to put the drivers seat all the way back to drive it. There is also great room in the back seat and the trunk is larger than would be expected. I cant say enough about this vehicle.

Good value in a full-size model
By Shoulderboards on Sunday, March 04, 2018We usually buy Fords, but decided to try the 2018 Impala this time. We like the roomy interior, although the rear seat headroom is compromised by the stylists decision to have a fastback-style roofline. Good power from the V6 engine. We average about 24 mpg in overall city/highway driving. Have gotten as much as 29 mpg on the highway. The trunk is fairly large, although loading bigger items is difficult because of the small deck lid opening, again due to the fastback styling. Great sound system, and many useful interior features. We live in an area that is quite warm during the summer and wanted a light colored interior. Unfortunately, the Impala interiors only come in black, dark gray or a garish-looking tan and black two-tone. There should be a beige or light gray offered without all the black accents. Front end styling is great-looking, but the back end is uninspired. Looks like it belongs on a Hyundai, not an Impala. Overall, we like the car. It has some areas that disappointed us, but seems to be a quality car that will serve us well. Time will tell.

Seriously, I just keep writing shit that I can't believe I'm writing even as I'm writing it.
That guy really liked trees, he apparently did some weird stuff with them, at least he filled up his house with their leavings..uhhh.. leaves and sticks, and then he killed and raped. Obviously, the assault trees must be at fault!
So something must be done!
We must ban assault trees and Assault Fan Fiction Friday! (warning! due to horrific scenes of assault-hobbit assault-fucking assault-trees, clicking that link may lead to nightmares, anxiety when near short people or trees and erratic heartbeat*)
*Yeah, it's a repost, but it went with that story like peanut butter and Jack Daniel's and it needed to be here again. It's just that disgustingly, horribly hilarious.
I meant to do this post yesterday, but I forgot.
Update: also forgot this. Memory loss is the first sign of something, but I can't remember what.
So two things.
First, does anybody have any idea why we get hit with such weird searches? I just can't figure it out.
Back to tree fucking, I haven't read that story this time, I did the search and my hands are shaking a little. I have the tab opened and I might read it. I'm just not sure if I can take it.
So seriously, think short and hardly if you want to read that story. Any sane decision would include just not clicking.

A few years ago i lost the ability to drink beer. i just couldn't do it. it wouldn't go down. i was never a big fan anyway. it's gassy, there's too much of it, you have to piss every five minutes, it's very unsexy, doesn't even look attractive, plus, and this is one of the big mysteries in my life, it absolutely smashes me. i can drink a whole bottle of brandy and be more with it than if i'd drunk 4 pints. 6 pints and i'm out of the game, it's all over. i'm also much more likely to be obnoxious. it makes my head cloudy and bleary. the other thing is, it akes my face fat. i get a little mini double chin and my cheek bones get obscured. i just drink spirits now days. i wonder if any one else suffered this misfortune. this is a general beer thread for people who want to discuss beer. scottie, he loves his beer, he always talks about it.
sometimes i might drink those polish ones that recently started appearing in eastend offies a while back, zyweick and that, but thats me trying to be different, ditto nigerian guiness, oh, they're strong too innit, so it's a cheaper way to get smashed.
talk beer here.

I honestly don't know why it is, and I sort kinda hate myself for it, but any time I see any sort of news story that has anything to do with the British royal family, I'm in.
I honestly don't know why it is, and I sort kinda hate myself for it, but any time I see any sort of news story that has anything to do with the British royal family, I'm in.
Harry nude in Vegas? Philip feeling unwell? The Queen and Camilla in a tiff because Camilla wants Elizabeth to step down and let Charles have a go at the throne?
I cannot resist.
That brings me to this week's royal headlines. It seems that Hilary Mantel, a very highly regarded author, made some observations about Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, during a lecture in London recently.
And certainly she said some pretty harsh things, describing Kate as a "machine-made doll" and "a shop-window mannequin with no personality of her own," and whose "only point and purpose being to give birth." It's all caused a bit of an uproar over there. The Daily Mail called Mantel's words an "astonishing and venomous attack," and an editor for the Telegraph deemed them simply "incredibly cheap." Catherine, well, we don't know what Catherine thinks.
But Mantel's point isn't that Kate is actually plastic or without personality. That's all we get to see.
I mean, I saw the "Lifetime" movie, I stayed home to watch the wedding, I'm Facebook friends with Elizabeth, and I don't know that that I've ever come across a quote or a video clip in which Kate reveals anything more profound than her preference for British designers, certain High Street shops and her controversial belief that it's perfectly OK to wear the same frock more than once. And even then, those comments are via palace statements. The only time I can remember words coming out of her mouth was when she was on the altar of Westminster Abbey in an Alexander McQueen wedding gown.
It's worth noting that alongside the CNN story about national umbrage over Mantel's remarks were headlines such as these:
Duchess Kate Shows Off Royal Baby Bump! (People magazine reports that she wore a gray MaxMara Studio wrap dress for what was the first official bump appearance last week) Catherine's Royal Fashion Secrets Revealed (the editor of British Vogue announces that she wears her fascinators at a 50-degree angle) Kate's Best Looks (she really does look great in white)
Meanwhile, far as I've gathered from the avalanche of press about the duchess is that her primary job is to:
Produce an heir Produce a second-runner-up heir in case the first heir does something nutty, such as marry someone of whom Parliament and/or the Archbishop of Canterbury does not approve Generate clothing sales
All this, if I'm remembering my history correctly, was pretty much the job description for Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn and Princess Diana.
Catherine is a woman with an education, opportunity and our attention. And yet, after years of living her life in public view, all we really know about her is that she has a great wardrobe, can make a baby, and seems to have lovely manners.
Wouldn't it be nice, though, if she could tell us a bit more about herself?

The term creation signifies both an act and the result of an action in which an agent (the creator) brings about the origin of an entity. In particular, creation refers to the act whereby an agent, notably God, brought the cosmos into existence from a state of non-existence. Creation in this sense is distinguished from mere change or transformation of something pre-existent.
Several types of creation may be distinguished:
- Universal creation or cosmogony is any doctrine or theory concerning the coming into existence or origin of the universe or cosmos.
- Biological creation is any doctrine or theory concerning the coming into existence of life from already created life through different kinds of organisms.
- Human creation is any doctrine or theory concerning the coming into existence of human beings or human souls.
Creation entails a creating agent or creator and a creative purpose, a teleology, that may be evidenced by design. However, in some theories, such as Intelligent Design, creation is implied whereas the creator and purpose are not specified.
Universal creation
- Main Article: Creation cosmology
- See also: Creationism
The major monotheistic religions are agreed on several points about universal creation: the agent is God who alone and free from exterior compulsion and inner necessity, created a good creation and maintains all created entities in existence. However, the extent to which God acts directly or indirectly in biological creation and human creation is not an area of common agreement.
Universal creation is described by cultures all over the world and one central theme is found to emerge — order from chaos.[1] The cosmos is singularly defined by scientists as possessing order. In fact, it is this apparent order that inspired early scientists to study astronomy and physics and describe related phenomena in mathematical terms.
Biological creation
- Main Article: Biological creation
Biological creationism is the doctrine or belief that the various species or kinds of living beings were created and so are not the product of a naturalistic process. The creator is usually identified as God. It is, therefore, philosophically opposed to evolutionism. As the theory of evolution is found as an integral part of all secular biology fields, it is critical that creationists have a thorough understanding of biology.
Creation biology is basically the study of biological systems, while operating under the assumption that God created life on Earth. The discipline is premised on the idea that God created a finite number of discrete created kinds or baramin. While these forms of life have the ability to vary, and even undergo speciation, they cannot arise spontaneously from non-life, cannot interbreed outside of their kind, and cannot increase in genetic complexity.
Human creation
- Main Article: Human creation
Human creation is any doctrine or theory concerning the coming into existence of human beings or human souls. Biblical human creationism is based on the Bible, which states that human beings were created on the 6th day of creation following land animals approximately 6000 years ago. The book of Genesis states that man is distinct from the animals, and was created in the image of God.
Creation Accounts
The creation is described by cultures all over the world. The most famous of which can be found in the first chapter of the book of Genesis in the Bible. Creation Ministries International points out that Indian creation myths have remarkable similarity to the account in the book of Genesis.[2]
- Main Article: Days of Creation
The opening chapter of the Bible (the Book of Genesis) provides an account of the creation of the cosmos and the Earth with all its inhabitants. The creation is described as occurring through a specific sequence of events over the course of 6 days.
- Day 1 — God created Earth, space, and light.
- Day 2 — God created the atmosphere.
- Day 3 — God created dry land and plants.
- Day 4 — God created the sun, moon, and stars.
- Day 5 — God created the sea creatures and birds.
- Day 6 — God created the land animals and man.
Many people argue that the "days" in the creation account should not be taken literally as a definition of time. Others hold that it is reasonable to assume that the most straightforward reading of these passages should take place. Furthermore since God created time and language, and described the events in terms that clearly correlate with the length of a solar day, any other definition confuses the author's intent. People who hold to the literal view of the creation days are known as young-earth creationists.
By contrast, old-earth creationists argue for nonliteral interpretations of the word "day" in Genesis 1, and instead hold that the creation occurred over vast periods of time. It should, however, be noted that the sequence of events in the Biblical creation account cannot be correlated with the developments proposed by either big bang cosmology or the theory of evolution. If accurate, the Biblical creation conflicts with both of these secular explanations for the origin of the cosmos.
Creatio Ex Nihilo
William Lane Craig lists five reasons why the Genesis account of Creation is a creatio ex nihilo ("creation out of nothing"):
- 1. The contrast between the biblical creation account and other ancient Near Eastern epics.
- 2. The various literary/contextual reasons to take Genesis 1:1 as an absolute sentence ("In the beginning God created . . .") rather than as a construct ("When God created . . .").
- 3. Significant features of the verb bārā' (create), when used in the context of the initial creation (e.g., Gen. 1:1), point to creation out of nothing:
- a. God is always the subject of the verb bārā' (the relevant uses are in the Qal and Niphal stems).
- b. No material is mentioned in connection with God's creative action.
- c. God's creating by his 'word' reflects an effortlessness and freedom not communicated by a doctrine of creation out of eternally preexistent matter.
- d. Bārā' captures the breadth of God's creation from start to finish--unlike words such as 'make' or 'form'.
- 4. The 'totalism' of the OT creation passages (e.g., "the heavens and the earth," representing the 'totality' of creation) strongly implies that nothing is left out of this comprehensive description; God and his creation constitute the sum total of reality.
- 5. The Creator-creature contrast in the OT and carried over into the NT) takes for granted God's intrinsically enduring nature as opposed to creation's inherent finitude and transitoriness.[3]
The Roman poet Ovid (43 B.C.-17 A.D.), in his Metamorphoses, elaborated an account of cosmic beginnings--the creation of the world out of chaos--that had obvious affinities with both Hebrew and Greek explanatory traditions. Questions of origins were especially topical during Ovid's time when Rome was transforming itself from a republic into an empire.[1]
The Santals are a numerous tribal people living in several states in eastern India. Among them live itinerant Hindu professional storytellers and painters (jadupatuas), who recount Santal stories, and religious beliefs. The Santal creation story includes three principal Santal deities, Maran Buru, Jaher Era, and Sin Cando. Water and water creatures made first by the creator, Thakur ("the Lord"). From the mating of two geese come the first human couple and from them their seven sons and daughters, who marry each other and then divide into clans so that siblings may no longer marry each other.[1]
Professional storytellers in Africa collected and told the stories of the past, including the story of the Yoruba people of West Africa. The Yoruba regard the city of Ife as their place of origin and the site of earth's creation. Ancient stories retell the creation of Yoruba and features Olodumare, the Lord of Heaven and the Creator, and Orisanla, deities in the Yoruba pantheon of gods.[1]

The Compelling 9/11 Evidence Heads North: AE911Truth Tour of Canada Kicks Off March 24
Written by Nory King
As part of the vital mission of AE911Truth, Richard Gage, AIA, is traveling to our great northern neighbor, Canada, on an eleven-stop speaking tour immediately following his tour of Arizona. Gage will be presenting the explosive 9/11 evidence to concerned citizens across Canada in March and April in conjunction with a campaign to submit a petition demanding an official review of the World Trade Center catastrophe to the Canadian Parliament.
This will be our third trip to Canada, and we have always been met with a good response. During our most recent trip, we joined David Ray Griffin and other esteemed 9/11 researchers at the Toronto Hearings.
AE911Truth Congressional Outreach Team leader Wayne Coste is one of the main organizers of the Canada tour. "There is a lot of enthusiasm surrounding this tour," Coste said. "There is a groundswell of support for the 9/11 Truth movement that is sweeping across Canada." Gage will begin the tour on Saturday, March 24, at theDenman Place Cinema in Vancouver, British Columbia. Denman Place opened in 1969 and is a must-see landmark in Vancouver.
The next leg of the trip will take Gage to Victoria, where he will speak at Alix Goolden Hall on March 26. Many world-renowned authors, such as Margaret Atwood and Salman Rushdie, have hosted readings under the elegant vaulted ceilings of this former church building.
"I am really looking forward to speaking in Victoria at this historic venue," said Gage. "It is well known for its fine acoustics and striking stained-glass windows."
Gage will then tirelessly continue his tour with three stops in Alberta. On Tuesday, March 27, he will speak at Unity of Calgary at 7:00 pm. Unity of Calgary is a non-denominational spiritual group that is a part of the worldwide Unity movement, and AE911Truth's appearance there continues our effort to reach out to people of all faiths.
Gage will follow up with a presentation in Lethbridge on the following day, and continue on to Edmonton on March 30.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Keith Appling led a pivotal run early in the second half and finished with 24 points and seven assists to help No. 13 Michigan State beat Illinois 80-75 on Thursday night.
The Spartans (18-4, 7-2 Big Ten) scored the first 14 points of the second half to take their first lead.
The Fighting Illini (15-7, 2-6) lost for the fifth time in six games. They had a chance to be the first team with four wins over currently ranked teams.
Illinois started strong and responded to rallies with shots and stops in the first half. Michigan State played with a lot of energy in the second half. Appling alternated making shots and setting up teammates to score in helping turn a 10-point deficit into a 41-37 lead.

At Heartland, they have an interesting theory about the people that buy their appliances. They don't try and tell their customers what they want. Rather, they give them what they desire. They truly recognize that individual tastes are just that - very individual. They make every appliance with unrivalled craftsmanship and technical perfection but that does leave you with a difficult decision. Will it be the Classic Collection, the Legend Series or the Metro Series Then again, you probably already know.
Describe the Classic Collection. The word romantic is an obvious choice. It's the romance that draws people who care about fine craftsmanship, detailing such as lustrous nickel plated trim and the option of having butter yellow or vivid red. For those that like to feel the durability of solid cast iron and steel construction as they open and close the oven door. For those who appreciate the curves of nickel plated legs, the shape of the handles, and the way the vintage oven temperature gauge perfects the look. And maybe, just maybe, the Classic Collection is for those who simply want their kitchen to be the true heart of their home.
If you are having difficulty deciding between the Heartland Electric or Gas Range, choose both. The Dual Fuel Range offers the power and precision of the gas cooktop combined with the efficiency and convenience of the roomy electric convection oven. Convection cooking lets you experience faster and more flavorful results. In their state-of-the-art system, a powerful fan draws hot air around the food for quick and even cooking.

Do not use public computers (e.g., Internet cafés or libraries) to access School Cash Online because they could have viruses or malicious programs that record every keystroke, or capture usernames and passwords.
Always log off when you're finished your School Cash Online session.
Clear your browser's cache after each School Cash Online session. Each time you access the Internet, your browser automatically saves a copy of the web pages you've visited. Diligently clearing your browser's cache after each session is an important step in safeguarding your account information.

Contact numbers can be found on the website at http://www.SchoolCashOnline.com
Use Anti-Virus Software:
Whenever you use your personal computer and the Internet, there is a potential risk of contracting a computer virus or the possibility of infiltration by intrusion software commonly known as "Trojan Horses". Computer viruses can modify programs, delete files and erase the contents of hard drives. "Trojan Horses" can have similar effects and may be able to capture keystrokes, including passwords or other secret information. Spyware and other deceptive software can also conduct certain activities on your computer without your knowledge or consent.
The potential consequences of any of these threats could include damage to your personal computer, compromise of your secret information and the inability to use School Cash Online.
For these reasons, we advise our customers to follow these practices:
Warning about 'free' services and software offering faster web surfing and email virus scanning: We strongly advise you to carefully read the terms of any free services you accept or software you download online before you accept them. They are known to sometimes include your consent to having all of your Internet browsing activity, including secure transactions monitored. In consenting to such terms, you may allow the service provider to collect highly personal information such as your bank account and credit card numbers and passwords. Your School Cash Online password is confidential and must never be shared with any outside person or company. In divulging your password, you contravene the terms of your School Cash Accountholder Agreement and you will be fully liable for any unauthorized access to your accounts and all associated losses arising from these disclosures.
Protect Your Internet Connection:
There are additional vulnerabilities associated with having a computer directly connected to the Internet for an extended period of time. This applies to all users but it is extremely important for users with cable modem or digital subscriber line (DSL) Internet access. These methods of connection do not require 'dialing' into the Internet and thus are sometimes described as 'always on' connections. Unfortunately, as long as the computer remains 'on' and connected to the Internet, malicious parties have a continuous window of opportunity for attacks on the user's personal computer.
If you use a cable modem or DSL connection for Internet access, you can limit this security risk by disconnecting from the Internet when your session is complete, or by turning off the cable or DSL modem. However, if you want to continue to take advantage of the 'always on' feature of cable and DSL connections or if you run extended dial-up sessions on the Internet, we recommend the following security measures be taken:
Disable File Sharing on Your Personal Computer
File sharing is a feature of Windows‡ that allows other computers to access your personal computer, even from across the Internet. Microsoft‡ has provided instructions on how to disable file sharing in Windows Help (Click Start, Help, then choose the 'Index' tab and type "file sharing, disabling").
Our recommendation is to disable file sharing. However, if you choose to retain this option for your particular environment, exercise due care and apply appropriate security measures.
Install a Personal Firewall
Install and frequently update a proven personal firewall product, such as Personal Firewall Plus1 Zone Alarm, that can be configured to prevent unauthorized access to your personal computer and keep it up-to-date.
Get Computer Security Updates
Ensure that you are using a legally licensed operating system. You may be able to improve the security of your system by getting updates to help correct issues that may make your computer vulnerable to virus or worm attacks. As such, you should diligently apply security patches as they become available.
If you have a wireless network, there are additional measures that should be taken to protect your Internet connection:
Use encryption - enable the highest level of encryption available for your router; newer wireless routers typically use Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and older versions use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). This will encrypt all data transferred between your personal computer and wireless router. In addition, devices without your encryption key cannot connect to your wireless router.
Change your default password - All wireless routers are given a default administrator password by their manufacturers, so make sure to change this password to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless router.
Change SSID (Service Set Identifier) - The SSID is the name of your wireless network. In order for a computer to connect to your wireless network, the SSID must be known. You should change the manufacturer's default SSID name to a unique name that will not be easily guessed, and has no direct connection to you or where you are located (e.g. don't use your last name or street address).
Use Supported Browsers:
Encryption is the process of protecting information as it moves from one computer to another so that it is unreadable to everyone except the receiver. The stronger the level of encryption used by your web browser, the more difficult it is for unauthorized parties to break the encryption and decipher the message in transit.
School Cash Online is fully tested before supporting new browser versions. When accessing School Cash Online, you are required to use one of our recommended browsers with 128-bit encryption.
While School Cash Online believes these safe computing practices and included links provide reasonable but not absolute protection, the Site makes no representation or warranty as to their intended use or fitness for purpose.

Pressplay, the online venture owned by Sony and Vivendi Universal, has announced version 2.0 of their online music distribution scheme. The new version is slightly less castrated compared to the previous, allowing a bit more flexibility in burning CD's of the music downloaded. The new CEO of Pressplay made a slightly confusing statement, however.
"During our first six months of service, we have focused on learning what our members want so that we could refine Pressplay to meet their demands"
I find that hard to believe. Had Pressplay payed a bit of attention to what their members want, they would have realized that, for $17.95 per month, most would find the limit of only 10 downloadable files that can be transferred to a portable device each month ridiculously limiting. I rarely have the same thirty songs on my MP3 player each week. Furthermore, as products such as the iPod and the Nomad become more widely accepted, touting storage capacities in the 10's of gigabytes, 10 songs per month becomes a rather paltry amount, not that the iPod or my Sony network walkman, for that matter, can actually play the secured Windows Media files offered by Pressplay. Sadly, it looks like yet another example of the music industry just not getting it. Undoubtedly, its failure will be blamed on those nefarious media pirates.

UNDP Partners with the community in Mwanjawantu - Life comes back to Ms. Anna Sakala
In the south of Petauke district lies a village called Kaumbwe in Mwanjawantu; 40kms off great east road in Chief Mwanjawantu's area. Mwanjawantu residents are dependent on peasant farming of mainly maize, groundnuts, cotton and sunflower. There have been reports of abject poverty experienced by the communities who dwell in this village. So far a number of women, children, widows and widowers have benefited from the interventions of the project. Below are selected stories that show-case the impact the interventions of the project has had on the lives of the participating communities. These stories where obtained during the project backstopping visit by the combined team from MCDMCH, UNJT and the Project Staff.
Ms. Anna Sakala lives in Kaumbwe village of Mwanjawantu. She had eleven children with her then husband who just left her for no discernable reason in 2006. Anna was left alone to take care of her eleven children but due to some unforeseen circumstances, she saw the untimely death of her seven children. She is now left with four children but has three to look after. Anna in this story is quoted saying "Nesokonezeka nzelu nazimene zinanichitikila ndipo zintu zinazache nukumbuka lini" (I had lost my mind due to what had happened and I do not even remember some of the things up to now).
Anna is one of the beneficiaries of the project's interventions with a story to tell having received one 10kg bag of maize seed, one 2.5kg bag of sunflower, four bags of fertilizer being two top and two basal dressing. Despite the drought that hit the areas for over two weeks, Anna was able to harvest 5 ox-carts of unshelled maize which gave her a total of 32 bags of 50kg shelled maize. She sold 15 bags of 50kg maize to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) at K65, 000 each. She returned 2 bags of 50kgs to the cooperative she belongs to. The remainder of the maize will be for her consumption together with her children. She intends to use some of the money to build a house of her own because the one she lives in now belongs to Chigwilizano Women's who intend to seize it from her anytime.
Anna said, "Ndalama zimenezi nitola pambuyo pongulisa vincebele kumusika, nikwasha kugula chintenge chanyowani, zakulya zaana anga ndi ine nazinazache zofunikila panya'nda (With the same money I got after selling my maize to FRA, am now able to buy food for my children, a new chitenge for myself and few other necessities for my household." Of the three children she is looking after, one has gone only up to grade 9 due to lack of funds to take her to senior secondary school and the other one made it to grade 8 but could also not continue due to lack of financial support her last born daughter who is eleven years old is doing grade five.
Previously before she got assistance from the project through small grants, she used to sell tomatoes and also depended on looking for ganyu (piecework) from the nearby and afar villages. The amount of work involved in ganyu was too much for her but only got very little money which she had to use to buy tomatoes for resale at the market and also use the same money to buy food for her household. Her life was very difficult and she described it as inhumane. "From the time I was assisted by this project (Anna said), my life has changed from that of an animal-like to that of a human being. At least, with the maize that I reserved from my last harvest and the money I got from the maize that I sold, I do have food to eat".
She was grateful to the project for considering her to benefit from their good course which has positively changed her life and implored the project to continue helping the poor because there are lot more people in her status who desperately need similar help. Her fervent prayer is for God to keep blessing the project and its support team for them not to relent in providing good life to the poor masses. This is and that they should not think they are wasting time. Her appeal was that she is assisted again especially with fertilizer so that she can build on what she started and be able to stand on her own in the next farming seasons.

Join "Bad Boys" Doc MacLean and Big Dave McLean for season six of Canada's biggest blues show, the National Steel Blues Tour. This time it's 60 shows, coast to coast, delivered in a stylin' 1994 Lincoln Town Car!
National Steel "Bad Boy Blues" Tour Announced
6th Annual Blues Event will be 60 Shows
Big Dave McLean and Doc MacLean are pleased to announce their upcoming, National Steel "Bad Boy Blues" Tour. The "bad boys" of Canadian blues are back! It's gonna be big fun all over again! Sixty shows, nine provinces, one territory, coast to coast to coast. Bad Boy Blues will be the 6th annual outing of the all acoustic, National Steel Blues series.
In contrast to last year's solo presentation, Bad Boy Blues will be the crazy, rollicking romp that is pure Doc and Dave on a cross country tear. Piloting a gargantuan 1994 Lincoln with a speaker on the roof, the Boys will bring a combined 80 years of blues experience, stories, and good humour to the stage. Expect a trail of genuine, white stripe, satin tour jackets to be left across the country. And expect the real deal from two acknowledged masters in their prime.
On their last, 2009 outing, Doc MacLean and Big Dave McLean's National Steel "Century" Blues Tour played 104 back to back shows in nine provinces and two territories. Over ten thousand people took in the live, all Canadian show which encompassed major festivals, theatres, casinos, concert halls, bars, cafés, gas stations and kitchen parties from coast to coast. With sponsorship from music giant Long and McQuade, the Century was the most comprehensive blues tour ever mounted in Canada. Broadcast recordings on CBC's "Canada Live," and "Saturday Night Blues" shared the Century Blues experience with an even greater audience.
"It was a giant, crazy tour," reflects Doc. "but this year's Bad Boy Blues is the third national tour Big Dave and I have taken on– and it promises to be the most fun of all!"
The 2011 National Steel "Bad Boy" Blues Tour. Featuring Doc MacLean and Big Dave McLean. Bad! September through November 2011. Sixty shows, coast to coast. No venue too big or too small, no place too forsaken. Now booking and accepting expressions of interest from all Canadian territories. Bring The Blues to Your Town.

Big Dave McLean is a Stony Plain recording artist who has been at the center of Canadian blues for most of his forty year career. A favourite of fans and critics alike, his extensive list of Juno, Maple, and WCMA awards and nominations is probably longer than his Johnson. He's definitely Muddy's Boy, his own man, and "the Prince of the Prairies."
Doc MacLean. He's a blues vagabond writing from the dark side of the blues highway. He's spent the last forty years exploring the road atlas from A to Z— surfacing sometimes on big stages in fancy halls, sometimes streetside trolling for change and a meal. No managers, agents, record companies. No fancy new guitars. He's a traveller, a collector and teller of songs and stories— a songster in the blues tradition. Blues Revue magazine has called him "the Prince of Darkness."

minneapolis store
Samantha and Megan were great! They don't carry the 6hole anymore..but talked with Samantha about them..and tried them. Great fit..but too short in height...so I packed them up with my old ones...sent them back to be resoled...they even emailed me once they received them to tell me a couple grommets needed to be replaced. I can't wait until I get them back!!!!!!! (I used their cobbler since I wanted them done with a cobbler they trusted.)
Love Minneapolis employees....!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome fit
I wanted them to fit so bad!
I wore them around the house and even stuffed my feet into them with thin socks. They were just too small and way too tight.
I since learned (the hard way) that Fluevogs can vary on size depending on the "family" of shoe.
My loss is your gain. They are gorgeous and I so wish they fit me. Hopefully someday, they will do another run of the purple Derby Swirl.

View Complete Game Notes (PDF)
Setting the Scene... The Mariners kick-off the 2013 season at home, taking on the Susquehanna Crusaders of the Centennial Conference. However, the two institutions have become very familiar with each other as they share primary affiliation in the Landmark Conference. USMMA was tabbed sixth of eight teams in the 2013 Liberty League Preseason Coaches' Poll, coming off a 5-5 campaign last fall. The Mariners posted a 3-4 mark in the league in 2011, good for a fourth place tie. The Crusaders finished last year 6-4 overall as well as a 5-4 in league play. They were picked to finish sixth in the ten-team Centennial Conference in the Preseason Coaches' Poll.
Series History... The all-time series between the Mariners and Crusaders is currently tied at 2-2 after Susquehanna's 37-21 victory last season. In that game the Crusaders overcame a fourth quarter deficit with 21 points in the final four minutes of the game, including 14 points scored on defense. USMMA held a 14-10 advantage after three quarters, controlling the time of possession and gaining over 200 yards on the ground.
Mariner Openers... Merchant Marine is 29-38-1 in season openers as they begin their 69th season in 2013. The Mariners are 3-6 in openers since joining the Liberty League in 2004. USMMA is 3-5 in their season debuts under current head coach Mike Toop. This will be the second straight year that the Mariners are kicking-off the season against Susquehanna.
Mike Toop Coach's Show - Week 1 vs. Susquehanna
New Look Offense… USMMA will have a new signal caller and fullback in 2013 with the graduation of Alex Coviello and John-Leon Gosselin. The duo combined for half of the Mariners 2500 rushing yards last season. However, Merchant Marine has various options to fill in the gaps with a large number of underclassmen who received significant carries in 2012. Despite the changes, USMMA will likely continue to rely heavily on the ground game with a triple option offense.
All-Conference Returners… The Mariners have seven players returning for the 2013 campaign who earned All-Liberty League accolades last season. The group is highlighted by Tyler Washington (Chatham, NY) who was named to the league's first-team as a defensive back. Senior running back Connor Kennedy (Bellerose, NY) earned all-league second-team honors. Jacob Margrey (Baldwinsville, NY) and Ben Runchey (Springboro, OH) received honorable mentions as part of a strong offensive line while Matthew Morse (Covington, LA) and Skyler Stone (Deep Run, VA) were all-league honorable mentions on defense. Rounding out the Mariners All-Liberty League contingent is Matthew McDaniels (Malverne, NY) who earned an honorable mention as a return specialist.
Around The Liberty League... Six of the conference's eight teams will kick-off the 2013 season on Saturday while Union and Rochester will take to the field for the first time next weekend. Defending league champion and preseason favorite Hobart is ranked #7 in the nation and will start the season on the road against Dickinson.
Up Next... Next up for the Mariners will be the most anticipated game of the season as they square-off with rival Coast Guard for the Secretaries' Cup at Brooks Stadium. USMMA won the celebrated contest on the road last year, 43-37, and leads the all-time series with the Bears, 28-13.

A system image is an exact copy of a drive. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. It also includes Windows and your system settings, programs, and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard disk or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration—you can't choose individual items to restore, and all of your current programs, system settings, and files are replaced with the contents of the system image.
Although this type of backup includes your personal files, we recommend that you back up your files regularly using Windows Backup so that you can restore individual files and folders as needed. When you set up Windows Backup, you can let Windows choose what to back up, which will include a system image, or you can select the items that you want to back up and whether you want to include a system image.
If your computer contains several drives or partitions, you can create a system image that includes all of them by following the steps in Back up your programs, system settings, and files.

"I believe the sequester is a pittance."
Those were conservative Sen. Rand Paul's words in an opinion piece this week about the sequester – severe and arbitrary cuts to the federal budget that Congress did nothing to stop. We could give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he hasn't seen the numbers:
- The nutrition program for women with children — WIC — will have to turn away 600,000 to 775,000 women, many of whom have young children.
- The 3.8 million currently unemployed workers will have their support cut by 11 percent.
- 100,000 low-income families will lose their housing vouchers.
- 125,000 individuals and families are now at risk of homelessness.
That doesn't sound like a "pittance" to me. That sounds like the difference between having a home and living on the street; the difference between a child eating dinner and a child going to bed hungry. If lawmakers are looking at these numbers and suggesting that they don't matter, there is a serious moral problem in our country.
These effects are multiplied by the fact that nonprofit organizations across the country who partner with the government have also had their budgets cut severely.
As an example, the Meals on Wheels program in my hometown just lost $250,000 in funding. This branch of the nationwide program serves meals to 1,200 people across Maryland who are unable to cook for themselves because of age or illness, and will likely have to cut back to providing meals only four days a week. How can we say that an extra day without a hot meal is a "pittance?"
Some of the other budget cuts affect programs that might not be specifically targeted at low-income communities but will still affect them disproportionately. Those are things like job training, foreclosure prevention, aid to children with special needs, and many others. A well-off family might be able to pay for these things on their own; but for many families government programs are the only option.
Food for nursing mothers and young children. Homes for families. A hot meal for an elderly couple with no family nearby. Sen. Paul claims that the sequester does not "eviscerate" the federal budget, but it is surprisingly effective at gutting the programs closest to our hearts.
We can't balance the budget on the backs of the poor. Sure, deficit reduction is an important long-term priority, and there are some areas of the budget we can easily cut back on (defense spending and oil subsidies, anyone?), but it is simply wrong to blindly cut programs that are providing real help for people who need it.
As the sequester hits, it seems that those who were least inclined to do their job and protect the poor have started to downplay the effects rather than take responsibility. They hide behind the relatively small percent of the federal budget represented by the sequester cuts, rather than acknowledging that even small cuts to critical programs can have a devastating impact.
This is not responsible governing. This is not even responsible debate. This is a case of policymakers telling blatant falsehoods to disguise the fact that they did nothing to protect programs like WIC and Meals on Wheels.
The way we treat the poor reflects our values as a nation. We cannot allow conservative lawmakers to pretend that this does not matter.
