Affiliations with other southern Rhode Island chambers of commerce

The Greater Westerly-Pawcatuck Area Chamber of Commerce is not affiliated with the Southern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce, formerly known as the South Kingstown Chamber of Commerce. In September 2011, this group undertook a new name that numerous other southern Rhode Island chambers of commerce, municipalities, and many businesses staunchly opposed.

Lesson Plan
Teaching Short-Vowel Discrimination Using Dr. Seuss Rhymes
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Three consecutive 30- to 35-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Avon, Massachusetts
The study of common rimes, or word families, is vital to students' early reading and writing skills. Through the contrast of short-vowel patterns, this lesson supports first- and second-grade students' use of analogy to apply their knowledge of vowel sounds in reading and spelling new words. The integration of Dr. Seuss rhymes creates an engaging study of onsets and rimes. Students will discover patterns in words, sort words based on their vowel patterns, and apply their knowledge in reading and writing activities.
- Pup in Cup: Your students will love using this worksheet to cut out each section and glue it onto a piece of construction paper so they can practice reading the sentences aloud with a partner.
- Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss: Your students will be excited to hear this tale read aloud, including its familiar, engaging rhymes
Johnston, Francine R. (1999). The timing and teaching of word families. The Reading Teacher, 53(1), 6475.
- The study of common rimes helps students learn to hear, see, and develop analogy to read and write new words.
- Contrasting word families with different vowel sounds can help children discriminate between vowel sounds in their writing.
- In the study of word families, reading and spelling words are integrally related as processes that reinforce each other and have a common source of knowledge.

The idea of a prequel to "The Sopranos" intrigues series creator David Chase, but if that were to happen, he envisions it as atypical.
The 69-year old show runner says he wouldn't mind exploring the era before the show began.
"Even if I did it, it wouldn't be 'The Sopranos' that was on the air — obviously at least one person is gone that we would need," he says. "There are a couple of eras that would be interesting for me to talk about, about Newark, New Jersey. One would be (the) late '60s, early '70s, about all the racial animosity, or the beginning, the really true beginning of the flood of drugs."

The World Complex does gold vs the US Dollar index
I do like World Complex's strange and wonderful charts, they're several cuts above the drossy average of plain and repeated comparatives. Today's examples that give plenty of food for thought are up there with the good 'uns and there's even room to be reasonably bullish about gold's medium term in the information presented.
I'm not stealing and pasting here, you can go to the original and see for yourself.
IKN recommends: The Economic Geologist
A new blog is in town, started earlier this month and already plenty of very good things to read over at The Economic Geologist (thanks due to twitterpal cooper for the headsup). Just as one example, check out the latest post, a photoessay on how fire assay analysis for metal samples works (great photos).
The Economic Geologist is smart, educational, written by a person who really knows the field and doesn't get bogged down in too much technical language so it's easy to read as well. We fully recommend it to all metalhead readers of The IKN Weekly. Go look.

Thought for the day
You are reading these lines.
You are therefore connected to the internet.
You are therefore more privileged than the grand majority of human beings, most definitely in terms of access to modern technology and most probably in terms of wealth, too.
So shut the fuck up about how tough your life is.
And have a nice weekend.
A week ago (aka "Argentina About To Default! We Recommend You Buy The Argentine Peso Immediately!")
One week ago, early last Friday morning, we saw a very strange move in the gold market, one so odd that even your non-goldbug non-goldmarket-caring humble scribe decided it needed comment in The IKN Weekly last weekend. Here's how that editiion kicked off (just two words redacted).
Still Bullish
Here follows the disjointed rant of the week. The most interesting price move of the week, as far as I'm concerned at least, came early on Friday morning when somebody pushed some button somewhere and dumped 2m oz of gold (well, not literally, it was an electronic trade) onto the market and this 5min chart (right) shows what that did to the price of the metal. The move got the goldbug faithful spitting their usual bunch of feathers and looking around for somebody to blame, for anybody to blame, which is par for the course but it got me thinking in slightly different terms to the fist-shakers.
Firstly yes it was a big trade for the size of the market in question (let's round it to U$2.5Bn in the space of a minute or so) but despite its relative market glamour and headline-making appeal, the gold desk isn't that big compared to the REALLY big markets, such as US bonds or EUR/USD forex. It's all comparative of course, because the money that runs through gold dwarfs the market which this publication dabbles in, that of junior mining companies, but if we're considering gold as a monetary asset or currency and dollar trades through the metal as a type of forex pair, it doesn't really belong in the bigger leagues.
Secondly, the look of that chart isn't that bad, post-dumpage at least. Gold sold off at the open but it kept its shape the rest of the day and even made ground back while those around it faded and wilted (I know that because I have the stocks to prove it). It's the moves of a metal that isn't expecting another big dump to happen in the days to come, it's the moves of an issue that has its buyers ready to step up and buy.
Later came a third thought on reading of the technical damage on gold reported by chartists. I've read from several sources in the last three days that the current price level is critical and if it doesn't hold, we're going to new lows for the year. Well, isn't that just what we're required to worry about right now? And while on the subject by way of a slight aside, let's also note that if gold recovers from its current "critical level" price, the TA enthusiasts will tell us that they were right about calling the current price as key, whereas if gold sinks further they'll tell us they were...errr...right about...errrr...calling the current price as...errrrrr...key. Class that under "nice work if you can get it".
OK, enough flippancy, let's get to the point. Last week I said that I saw October and November as bullish for gold, set myself a reasonably reachable price target for the period and announced adjustments to the Stocks to Follow portfolio that would move it net longer. Last week started ok but faded badly and the result of seeing gold under $1,300/oz this weekend does not jive with my call at all, but that doesn't mean I'm changing a thing just a week later. Mine is still a near-term call and it's still about being reasonably optimistic in the weeks to come, faced with a strange backdrop of political and economic happenings (the US political scene first in line there). Gold is just as smart a thing to hold as it was last week and if the fear trade begins to take off, as I believe it will still (no matter if the US lawmakers conveniently find a solution just before a week's break from duties shows up on the calendar or not), it's going to take a lot more than a single 2m oz sell order to keep gold from moving up.
It is indeed a strange market atmosphere for gold out there at the moment, one where Alice's Through The Looking Glass (and therefore Biiwii) come to mind. Market influences are reversed, fear causes gold to be sold, dollar weakness gets no upside reaction from the metal, what's normally good for bullion's day-to-day market price is bad. My best guess is that normal logic has been suspended due to sentiment drivers trumping the normal rules, which suggests traders pushing buttons on GLD have the whip hand compared to those who are buying, shipping and holding bullion. Meanwhile, we see people who are scared of a US default buying the dollar as safe haven and driving down prices of other issues (gold included) as a counterparty result. It's the concept of ever decreasing circles writ large and I can only imagine the reaction if a big bank in Argentina issued an alert along the lines of "Argentina About To Default! We Recommend You Buy The Argentine Peso Immediately!" and how long the author of such an analysis would be able to keep their job, or keep out of a mental health ward.
So yes, there is a great deal of difference between near-term sentiment drivers and longer term value drivers and although I'm no conspiracy theory spouting goldbug, there comes a point when the stupid has to be called out. Last week was weird and I think it was full of signals that are getting far more attention than they deserve. Therefore I'll stick to the plan of looking for higher gold prices and a trading set-up that reflects that call.

Alberto Fujimori appeared in court today for another round of trials (this time for press corruption), but turned up like this:

Lend a microcap fcf negative junior miner $600k at 20% per annum interest: What could possibly go wrong?
This is fun. Inca One Resources (IO.v) has this plan to expand its toll milling ops and they want you to fund them. What's more, they're willing to pay you 20% per annum interest on 600 grand over two years if you'd be so kind.
Three observations:
1) It's the kind of interest rate that makes you wonder, tied to fixed assets or not.
2) On the subject of wondering, I wonder what current IO.v equity holders will think of the plan when they find out? After all, IO.v seem to want to keep this one quiet, and also even in the best of cases that's $240k which isn't going to make its way to the bottom line.
3) IO.v works in Peru. Toll milling operations are common in Peru. Peru is a mining country. So why isn't IO.v looking to raise seeding cash inside the country at a more reasonable rate? Or even get the first batch of toll feed from the local sellers on tick and pay them back out of cash flow? Could it be because...nah, fergeddit.
Maybe these dudes should consider Kickstarter...
No, Howard Lindzon, the size of Blackrock has absolutely nothing to do with the fucking size of country GDPs
I'm sorry, but this one just drives me up the wall. It's bad enough when the Apple fanboy mouthbreathers start with their "Apple's cash pile now bigger than Vietnam's GDP" or "Apple is now worth more than Denmark" but to see someone like Howard Lindzon, founder of Stocktwits and supposedly smart about numbers, promote this utter fucking stupidity leaves me with no alternative than to rant and swear a few times on this humble corner of cyberspace. This from today:
No, Howard. No, no and a thousand times no. And I'm now going to explain why in two short ways so that even you can get it. You'll probably get the first one straight off the bat, but it would be nice if you concentrated for the second one as well
1) Go up to Putin and offer him $3.9 Trillion for his country. Hell, stick a 28.2% offer bonus on top and offer him five tril if you like, round numbers and generous offers and all that. Then listen carefully to what he says to you in return.
2) There's a difference between the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows. The balance sheet counts up the assets of an entity (as well as its liabilities, then it plays with the numbers and works out the equity), and that's what the Blackrock number is up there. But a country GDP is not that, it's not assets, it's what comes off of the assets, it's very similar to what's recorded on one of the other bits of paper that accoutants and financial officers file in their quarterlies, the statement of cash flows. The GDP of a country is the gross domestic PRODUCT (did you get that upper-case bold-typed underlined word Howard, you ignorant twat?), it's what a country produces. It's not what it has. Now, if you tell me that Blackrock runs a three point nine trillion dollar annual positive free cash flow* I will take back all the swearing and insults, but if not
Thanks in advance.
*Y'know what? I'd even take just a third of that come to think of it
Zinc news: It must be October
I think it's a combination of things.
- LME week gets the base metals people in one place at one time
- Summer's over, the post-Labor Day return to business is washed through
- The year and its metals prices are basically set in stone
- People are natural optimists and want something to look forward to
- The metals sector is full of bullshitters who'll say exactly what people with money want to hear
- etc
But the upshot is that every year, at this time of year, you are bound to get the "zinc looking good in the months to come" news report on analysis done by people who'll do just fine if zinc does. And guess what folks, 2013 is no exception. Cue Bloomie.
Zinc may outperform other industrial metals in the coming years as planned mine closures reduce supply, according to Wood Mackenzie Ltd."Zinc could be the rising star of the base metals market going forward," Richard Wilson, chairman of metals at Wood Mackenzie, told reporters in London today. "Zinc could be quite exciting in a couple of years." etc etc here
I read that this morning with "If I had a dollar for every time..." as the inner commentator. As for the reality of zinc, the only time the Zn's future bright bullshit came true was that 2005/2006 rocket move. Then you can add the bounce back from the 2008 crisis lows if you want. The rest is noise.

As I think of this idea, I picture a conversation at a table:
On one side – is a guy representing the Venture Exchange.
On the other – is a guy representing the droves of garbage jr. companies who can no longer raise money from accredited investors.
Exchange guy says, "Well boys, we would like to see you remain members of our dog-fvck exchange so you can continue to pay listing fees."
JrCompany guy says, "Hey… funny thing… WE'RE PERFECTLY ALIGNED…because we would LOVE to remain members of the exchange and have a few hundred grand in the kitty so we can pay ourselves salaries and options for another year while golfing 5 days a week and doing no actual work of any kind."
Exchange guy: "Well looky-here JrCompany guy, what we if relaxed the rules so you can steal the very last drops of cash from the pockets of clueless non-credited investors? We can call it… 'CrowdFunded Private Placements'!"
JrCompany guy: "THAT WOULD BE SWELL Exchange guy! Yay!

Can somebody please explain to me in simple terms, using words of maximum two syllables so as not to confuse me, how the fuck McEwen Mining (MUX) (MUX.to) still has a market cap of over $600m? Is he some expert at mass hypnosis or something? Today's 3q13 production report here.
Chart of the day is...
...Kitco's spot gold tracker:
Certainly hope you're not stupid enough to follow those "gold breaks $1,265 and it's going to a new low" chartists. Or in other words, the market just shouted "PSYCHE!" in the TA world's ear.
Take a bow Codelco; Today's best LatAm bizstory
Mining operations are always highly polluting and the people who run them don't give a rat's hind quarters about the environment, you say?
Today President Sebastián Piñera inaugurated the world's largest thermosolar plant at the State-owned Codelco's Gabriela Mistral (aka Gaby) copper mine in Chile. The spec on the project is cool stuff, because not only will it provide 85% of the power needed for Gaby's state of the art SX-EW copper plant (that produces around 150,000 tonnes of copper a year) but it will also mean 15,000 tonnes of CO2 doesn't get put into our atmosphere each year. And perhaps the best bit is that it makes a lot of economic sense as well, because at a ticket price of $26m and scheduled to shave $7m per year off the company's bills over its 10 year contract with Codelco, the hard-nosed capitalist beancounters are smiling too.
As someone who uses a (far more modest) solar panel system to heat his own hot water supply at home (nice hot showers and all for free, thanks for asking) your author stands up and applauds Codelco for its smarts. Fellow large copper mining companies, look to your own future and get wise about this technology.
What Peru's electricity demand numbers for 2013 are telling us
They're telling us that economic activity is picking up again and the Peru Central Bank's latest forecast of a better second half of 2013 than first half is looking spot on.

Keep All You Wish: The Photographs of Hugh Mangum features a selection of turn-of-the-twentieth-century portraits from the Hugh Mangum Collection, preserved within Duke University's David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Born and raised in Durham, North Carolina Mangum began establishing studios and working as an itinerant photographer in the early 1890s, traveling by rail through North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Rare for his time, Mangum attracted and cultivated a clientele that drew heavily from both the African American and white communities, especially in his hometown. In Mangum's lifetime he likely exposed thousands of glass plate negatives; sadly most of those were destroyed through benign neglect after his death or are now lost, as are any records of the names and dates associated with the images.
In 1922, six weeks before his death at age forty-four, Mangum wrote a letter to his sister Lula signed, "Give my love to all and keep all you wish, Your Brother Hugh." It's possible he anticipated death, or maybe the salutation is simply an indicator of his kind spirit. Read as an expression of his pictures, the phrase "keep all you wish" suggests Mangum's generosity in creating an atmosphere–respectful and often playful– in which the many hundreds of men, women and children who posed for him were able to genuinely reveal themselves. A century later, Mangum's sensitive portraits allow us a penetrating gaze into the faces of Durham's past. And in a larger and historical sense, they offer an unusually perceptive glimpse of the early 20th century American South.

text: So Lego Batman 2 will be the first toy-centric video game developed by Traveler's Tales that features voice acting. Now, given that the silent comedy was a big part of the appeal in previous Lego games, there might be some worry about such a change. But as the trailer above shows, the upcoming game looks as funny as the ones that preceded it. Those voices may not be coming from Kevin Conroy or Mark Hamill—and, honestly, the longtime Batman and Joker actors' takes may be too dark for this game—but the laughs come regardless of who's giving voice to hero or villain. You'll get to hear more from the toy versions of 50-plus DC characters when Lego Batman 2 hits next week.

DevOps functionally is an extension of Agile methodologies, but it is also more of a culture or philosophy. You can adopt DevOps without knowing anything about Agile methodologies, as there is more to DevOps than just your software development lifecycle (SDLC), but it may be harder. In a way, Agile certainly compliments DevOps with its iterative processes more than other SDLC's, such as the Waterfall model. You can still be successful without following Agile methods, but software development projects typically realize more successes with Agile practices.
Individuals and Enterprises can make payment for the training through 3 different modes such as –

B Braun Medical will update drug library capability for the CME BodyGuard Twins 121 Dual Channel infusion pump
Singapore: B Braun Medical is going to feature a new and updated drug library capability for the CME BodyGuard Twins 121 Dual Channel infusion pump at the Air Medical Transport Conference (AMTC), which is scheduled to be held at Virginia Beach, US, from October 21-23, 2013.
The new customizable two-channel pump will give users the ability to create and upload a drug library via their personal computer. Once the pump is connected, the library is uploaded via a universal serial bay (USB) cable and a single library build can be uploaded onto multiple devices.
Users will be able to build a drug library with up to 100 drugs, with limits and dose and drug concentrations. They will also have the ability to view and print pump settings and event logs. This upgrade will streamline programming processes.
Mr Eric Melanson, director, marketing, B Braun, said that, "Our established base of air transport and EMS Twins users will really appreciate the flexibility and increased efficiency that the new software and firmware deliver, enhancing value for an already lightweight, rugged and high-uptime dual channel pump."


text: When you understand an investment, you're more likely to feel comfortable taking the risk. By Janet Bodnar, Editor-at-Large October 10, 2012 Investing just doesn't seem like fun anymore. Standard & Poor's 500-stock index has turned in double-digit returns thus far this year, but investors aren't jumping for joy. On the contrary, many are still sitting on the sidelines, if not shying away from stocks altogether. Investors are so spooked that they seem frozen in place, reports the BlackRock Barometer, a survey of investors and advisers. Despite the recent run-up in stocks, only one investor in ten is making portfolio adjustments, according to BlackRock. Even though people say they're concerned about making their money last in retirement, they'd rather work longer and retire later than take more risk. Of those surveyed, 62% said they were optimistic about the market's performance over the next six months, yet only 15% described the market as full of opportunity. Meanwhile, TrimTabs Investment Research reports that in the first half of 2012, the most popular destination for investor cash was . . . cash. More than $350 billion poured into checking and savings accounts, compared with a net gain of only $6 billion for stock mutual funds and ETFs. "I don't expect mom-and-pop investors to pile into equities anytime soon," says TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman. Sponsored Content The younger generation is particularly snakebit. In a recent MFS survey of investor sentiment, respondents were asked whether they agreed with the statement, "I will never feel comfortable investing in the stock market." Among Generation Y investors, 37% agreed, compared with 29% of Gen X investors and 26% of baby-boomers. In fact, Gen Y investors have one-third of their investable assets in cash, more than any other category. Ah-ha moments. A little less volatility might lift investors' spirits, but I think they'd also feel more comfortable if they could get their heads around their investments. Each year I have the pleasure of working with a bright crop of interns who come to Kiplinger knowing almost nothing about personal finance. But when I ask them how they enjoyed their time with us, I'm invariably impressed by how much they've learned—and taken to heart. For David Marten, a student at Cornell University, the ah-ha moment came while researching a story on target-date mutual funds. In David's words, these funds "are useful for people who don't have the time and don't want to make the effort to manage their portfolios by themselves—myself included." David has no qualms about investing in stocks because he figures if he were to invest in a fund geared toward his retirement date, "I'd stand to get a decent return over time." Advertisement Target-date funds aren't perfect, but the concept is easy to grasp. And, like David, when you understand an investment, you're more likely to feel comfortable taking the risk. That's one reason we include target-date funds in our cover story on simple investing. But our easy-to-follow advice gives you other options—including a portfolio of just two funds that cover the world. And simple investing isn't just for beginners. As contributing editor Elizabeth Ody points out, "the big secret to successful investing is that it's actually not all that complicated." Already stuck with a glut of stocks or funds? We tell you how to declutter your portfolio, which just might make you kick up your heels—or at least crack a smile. P.S. The easiest way to boost your investment returns is to keep costs down.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Looking for a way to celebrate Black History Month without once again teaching the same lessons about Martin Luther King Junior and Rosa Parks?
Searching for a lesson plan that honors the ethnic heritage of all your students?
Try these lessons that explore heritage and culture during Black History Month or any time:
Famous Firsts in Sports
There is more to African-American history than Martin Luther King, and there is more to the history of race relations in sports than Jackie Robinson.
Have older students research the groundbreaking African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, or women in professional sports.
For younger students, make up a trivia game (or if you're tech-savvy, try a web quest!) to introduce them to these important figures.
This can also offer an opportunity to discuss stereotyping: do we expect certain ethnic groups to be better at certain sports? Why is that? Visit the RACE site for some valuable talking points.
What's Your Dream?
Martin Luther King, Junior, was a remarkable man and a gifted speaker. But by the time they've been through a few years of school, most kids already know that. For a new way to celebrate his gifts and his vision, try having students write their own "I Have a Dream" statement.
If you review the text of the speech, you'll notice that the most famous section is near the end of the speech, and it's pretty straightforward. King repeats the phrase "I have a dream" several times, each time with a different ending.
For elementary or middle school students, you can adapt that section into a writing frame. Help students write their own mini-speech that addresses their personal dreams for the world, from environmental issues to a new plea on race relations.
For older students, this can be both a personal statement and a chance to do some literary analysis. For example, King makes a broad statement about the country, follows it up with two specific statements about individual states, and then makes another broad, country-wide statement. Ask students to use the same logic, structure, and rhetorical devices when they write their mini-speech.
These assignments can create a terrific bulletin board or be a meaningful addition to a class or school website.
You can also try these Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream" Speech Writing Prompts.
History through African-American Music
Many types of music have their roots in the African-American community: jazz/blues, gospel, rock 'n roll, rap and hiphop.
Divide the class into groups and assign each group to a specific type of music. Have students research how the type of music developed, what are its "trademark" or typical sounds, and how it is connected to what was happening in the world at that time.
Once students have done their research, have them present their findings to the rest of the class, and ask them to play example recordings as a part of their presentation.
Keep in mind, though, that you will need to approve student selections if you want to avoid any potentially controversial recordings.
Celebrating Who We Are: A Classroom Cultural Fair
Every student has a cultural heritage they can explore. Make an opportunity to celebrate the unique qualities of many cultures with a classroom cultural fair.
Help students to research their families' home countries or the countries their families may have come from. Have students display of photos of the country, music from the country, ethnic food, and more.
For older students, it may also be valuable for them to research the history of their ethnicity/culture in the United States and share that information with the class. Students may be surprised to learn that there were times when Irish, Italian, or Catholic Americans were subject to the same types of discrimination that African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, or Jewish-Americans have faced in more recent times.
Students could interview family members about their cultural heritage, their experience of immigrating to the U.S., or their personal experiences of discrimination. This project can be expanded to include guest speakers and can be connected to some powerful works of literature as well.
No matter what time of year it is, celebrating the achievements of people of all races can teach your students valuable lessons about the value of diversity. Why not give one of these lessons a try?

Digitally-enabled car-sharing and ride-hailing is set to become a key driver of growth and profitability in tomorrow's auto markets, far outstripping the profitability potential of traditional car making.
Accenture research shows that by 2030, revenues from manufacturing and selling vehicles (around €2 trillion) will be only marginally higher than they are today, and that profits from car sales will even shrink slightly (from €126 billion to €122 billion).
By contrast, revenues from mobility services are projected to soar to almost €1.2 trillion—with profits reaching as much as €220 billion. Fueled by constant improvements in autonomous vehicle technologies, global markets for mobility as a service are set to grow exponentially over the next decade.
OEMs are well positioned to build and sustain mobile services at scale: the key to success. But with nimble newcomers already besieging this emerging space, they will need new strategies and new business models to secure a lead.
OEMs are established masters of vehicle mass production and thus very likely to dominate the manufacturing of autonomous vehicles that will turn mobility as a service into a mass market. They still occupy the critical interfaces between products and services, hardware and software. And their brands, powerful distribution networks, and customer following can help build and sustain mobile services at scale: the key to success.
But they will also need bold new strategies to bring these strengths to bear. Auto executives must make smart choices about where and how to play. They will also need to execute on these choices—and fast. New entrants are setting the pace and right now, despite their impressive car-sharing and ride-hailing experiments, OEMs are struggling to keep up.
The key to long-term success is scale. And OEMs are in pole position to leverage it—so long as they can bolster their existing capabilities around designing and manufacturing cars, and build new capabilities around ideating, testing, and rolling out mobility and digital services. Working with strategic partners, including competitors, whose strengths complement their own will be essential: often, indeed, the only way to scale platforms and service offerings quickly—a must-have in digital business, where size matters.

Friday�s games
Draughn at Crest
East Rutherford at Kings Mountain
Burns at Chase
Shelby at R-S Central
Mark Barnes, Crest
�Every time you get an off week, No. 1, you want to get healthy and we think (Jalin Moore) is a lot closer to 100 percent right now. We feel like we�re closer to possibly getting him back this week.
�You get to identify the things you need to work on. We gave them Monday and Friday off, and we practiced Tuesday through Thursday, really were three of the best days of practice we�ve had all year. We were proud of our players� effort level. We felt like we got better as a team.
�They (Draughn) are huge up front on both sides of the ball. Their fullback, he�s a 6-2, 250 kind of guy. We�ve got to turn it into a speed game and try to get it on the outside.
�We fully anticipate them coming in and trying to pound us. They�re good at the fullback dive. That�s been a problem for us.
�It�s always good to play someone you haven�t played. We just need to be an improved football team. We can�t ever control our opponent.�
Matt Beam, Burns
�They (Freedom) threw the ball and moved the ball a little bit on us. Once they got in the red zone, we played really well.
�I thought that just set the tone (early stop). That allowed our offense to go down there. We only had three series the first half. We had three long drives and were able to get 14 points.
�Our offensive performance I felt this last week was really good.
�We only had three penalties in the game and we didn�t have any turnovers. We played really smart and well.
�Chase is a much improved team. They�re coming off two big victories against perennial powers in Newton-Conover and Bandys.
�We�ll have to play assignment football and tackle really well. The fullback is a pretty big kid that in the previous couple games, he�d be hemmed up a little bit and all of a sudden he bounces out. It�s a really big task for us to make sure that we get him tackled.�
Greg Lloyd, Kings Mountain
�We did not play particularly well in any phase last week. We did get some good plays in spots. But Forestview�s awfully good, and we just didn�t play as well as we had played the previous two games, just made a lot of mental mistakes. That�s what we�re working on this week in practice. We jumped offsides at some critical moments. We dropped some balls, had a couple of fumbles that hurt us.
�We�ve got a big game this week with East Rutherford. (I�m) impressed with East Rutherford. They�ve got a lot of speed. They�ve lost two games in a row by one point. They easily could be 2-1.
�They�re a pretty good passing team. They spread you out. We�ve had some very competitive games with them the last two years. I�m sure this one�s going to be, as well. They bring a lot of pressure on defense. They�re well-coached.
�We�re looking forward to getting into conference play and seeing how we do.�
Lance Ware, Shelby
�R.J. (George) did an outstanding job finding the open receiver. Some things they (South Point) did defensively kind of led to us throwing the ball more.
�He was able to connect on some big plays and lead our offense.
�Playing South Point and in that atmosphere, that�s pretty close to a playoff atmosphere, and I think it�ll help us down the road. I think R.J. showed great poise on offense.
�Defensively we had some breakdowns late, but I thought the effort was outstanding. We executed the plan, and it will help us going forward.
�R-S is much improved. What jumps out at you on tape is they�re really good at what they do. They�re multiple.
�We haven�t created any turnovers defensively, and that�s something we need to do. We need to create some turnovers and get some extra possessions that way.
�We need to finish the game in the fourth quarter.�

I probably should call this post "If Lemon Curd isn't your thing…" I already posted about Meyer Lemon Curd for February's Spice Rack Challenge. All the way back on February 12th. Then I received a delivery from The Lemon Ladies Orchard:
What to do with SEVEN pounds of delicious Meyer Lemons picked only days ago in California sunshine?
First: Preserved Lemons. Recipe courtesy of Tigress:
I used half cayenne and half Spanish Pimentón. I know Tigressprefers to use regular lemons instead of the Meyer variety, but when that's what you've got…
Ideas on how to use Preserved Lemons: Arctic Garden Studio has great suggestions, including preserved lemon and harissa hot dogs (have to try those!) and an awesome link for Preserved Lemon and Thyme Compound Butter (oh man…). The lovely readers at Food in Jars suggested using Cara Cara oranges (my new addiction) instead. Once they age I will definitely be trying the Spicy Potato Tagine with Preserved Lemon and Olives from Epicurious.
Second: Juice them! You can use the juice for curd, but you knew that already. Make lemonade, or freeze the juice for when inspiration strikes later. Note to self: Also do a Meyer Lemon Roast chicken.
If you don't live in California, Texas or Florida, you likely had the lovely yellow beauties shipped in – dont let ANY go to waste! Make limoncello with that rind!
Señor SK and I had a bad limoncello experience on a trip to Rome a couple of years ago – but I'm willing to give it another shot. The idea of lemonade er… for adults… in the summer sounds fantastic.
Thanks to Hip Girls Guide to Homemaking for the recipe.
Third: Bake. Tomorrow I might make Arctic Garden Studio's Lemon Pull-Apart Loaf. And maybe Barefoot Contessa's Lemon Yogurt Cake. But today I came across dymnyno's Lazy Lemon Tart on Food 52. It can't get much easier than this: 1. Buy pre-made pie/tart crust, 2. Blend filling in a food processor – a WHOLE lemon!, 3. Bake.
I should add 4. Try not to inhale in one sitting. The crust gets golden and crunchy and amazing. Seriously – MAKE THIS NOW.
After all that, I was pretty lemoned out. Tomorrow I have plans for more lemon-infused baking and some sort of preserves. I haven't decided whether to make Vanilla Garlic's Kiwi Lemon Jam or Hitchhiking to Heaven's Cherry Meyer Lemon Preserves with Raspberries instead. Or both. Any other Meyer Lemon suggestions are welcome! If I have any left…

Nordstrom said Thursday it will stop selling Ivanka Trump clothing and accessories.
The Seattle-based department store chain said the decision was based on the sales performance of the first daughter's brand, The Seattle Times reported.
[NATL] First Ladies' Inaugural Fashion Through the Years
U.S. & World
The move comes amid a weekslong campaign started in the San Francisco Bay Area known as "Grab Your Wallet," which has been calling for a boycott of retailers that carry merchandise made by Ivanka Trump or President Donald Trump.
In November, Nordstrom posted a response on Twitter to a shopper's letter calling for the company to stop selling the brand, saying, "We hope that offering a vendor's products isn't misunderstood as us taking a political position; we're not."
A Nordstrom spokesperson didn't say whether the decision to stop buying the brand was permanent, only that they make buying decisions each season. Nordstrom also said it offers thousands of brands and cuts about 10 percent each year based performance.
The Ivanka Trump brand was no longer listed on the company's website Thursday evening, and a search of her products on the site turned up just a few pairs of shoes, all of which had been marked down in price.
Ivanka Trump's independent lifestyle brand promotes her image as a successful working mother and partners with companies to make the branded blush pink dresses and trendy booties offered in multiple department stores.

Her business has also come under fire after she appeared on CBS' "60 Minutes" wearing a nearly $11,000 gold bracelet from her jewelry line and someone from the company sent photos from the interview, seeking free publicity.
She said on Facebook in January she would take a formal leave of absence from her brand and from the Trump Organization but said she was confident both businesses would continue to thrive.
"I am absolutely thrilled, and I know the vast majority of Grab Your Wallet participants will be as well," said Shannon Coulter, a co-founder of Grab Your Wallet. "I'm particularly dazzled to see consumers flexing their consumer power in favor of a more ethical and inclusive society. I think this is a huge win for them and for Grab Your Wallet."
Coulter went on to say the campaign isn't over yet. She's hoping people will boycott Trump products at Amazon, Macy's and Zappos.
"It will place additional pressure on the remaining companies," she said. "I'm hoping for a domino effect."
The Bay Area CEO of DoubleKnown Marketing and Communications gave an extensive interview to NBC Bay Area in October about her campaign.
"I want to be able to shop with a clear conscience," she said in a simultaneous Facebook Live and Skype interview from her office.
NBC Bay Area's Lisa Fernandez and Riya Bhattacharjee contributed to this report.

Q & A with Mark Romanek
Interview conducted by Meghan Swope '11
Mark Romanek '81 earned his degree in cinema and photography from the Roy H. Park School of Communications. He is director of the film Never Let Me Go, released in 2010. His previous film credits include One Hour Photo (2002), starring Robin Williams, and a vast portfolio of music videos for celebrities such as Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Fiona Apple, Johnny Cash, Nine Inch Nails, and many more. He spoke to ICView last November from London.
Meghan Swope: How did you discover your passion for filmmaking?
Mark Romanek: My father is a photography buff, and he bought me a camera when I was nine years old, a Kodak Instamatic. I think he saw that I had a knack for photography. He bought me a better camera when I was 12 years old and built me a darkroom, and I learned how to print photographs and develop film. My father also took me to see [Stanley] Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey when I was nine years old. I saw it again when I was 12, and I was really struck by that film; it really overwhelmed me. One day it occurred to me that maybe if I borrowed my uncle's Super 8 camera I could make a story movie rather than just a home movie. When I was about 15 years old, I knew that I would be a film director.
MS: What is it about a book or story or piece of music that inspires you to make a film about it?
Romanek: That's a real intuitive thing. You kind of either connect with it on some sort of emotional or intellectual level — or both — or you don't. I look for things that seem sincere and seem in some way daring or original. If you can get that combination, it seems to me that it stands a chance of being something good. You run into a lot of stuff that's sort of insincerely expressed or is extremely novel, but to get something that feels like a real personal expression handled in a new way, that's exciting to me.
MS: What, in particular, did you see in Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go that made you want to turn his story into a film?
Romanek: I was very moved by the book. It brought me to tears, and yet I found it intellectually stimulating as well and very mysterious. I couldn't stop thinking about it, which is usually a sign that something has real merit. Because of that, I reread the book, and it was the second reading that made me feel like this could be a really interesting film. I was a little daunted by the prospect of it because it's so odd and delicate and emotional. I didn't know if I could transpose those feelings I had about the book into a movie story, but when I read Alex Garland's screenplay, I thought he had so successfully adapted it that it gave me reason to hope that we could pull off the film.
MS: Some of the most creative outcomes happen as a result of "happy accidents" or even what initially may be perceived as a mistake. Can you identify some unexpected things that occurred while you were making a film that had fortunate consequences?
Romanek: You can increase the likelihood of those things happening if you put the right people together with the right energy, the right intention, and the right set of aesthetic guidelines; that way you can be more open to recognizing those opportunities. A lot of people will say about a director, "Oh, he has got a great vision," but I don't like the word "vision." I find it a pretentious word. You sort of need to have this clear idea of the film, which I suppose you could describe as a vision, but it has to be very flexible and very — it has to have margins, big margins on either side of it, so you can be open to other people's contributions and accidents. You have to know when something that seems like it's going wrong is actually the universe nudging you to look at it in a different way.
MS: Never Let Me Go generated some Oscar buzz. How do you feel about that?
Romanek: Well, it's great! I'm very happy for the film to be well received. What is more gratifying is when I go to festivals and screenings and I have personal interactions with people who are so deeply moved by Ishiguro's story and have been moved by the film, which is of course the reason you make it. It's more gratifying to know that Kazuo is very happy with the film and that he feels like his trust in us wasn't misplaced. That's what I take a lot more satisfaction in than the awards. But awards are terrific, and I hope it motivates more people to see the film.
MS: What would you say are the most important components that drive/describe your creative process?
Romanek: I sort of am a reactive person in the sense that I like to react to a book, react to someone else's idea, react to an actor trying something; that gives me ideas. I can't create something in a vacuum; I like to respond. I also like to identify the problems in something and then come up with a series of solutions. I think of [the creative process] as problem solving in a way, aesthetic problem solving or artistic problem solving. I'm challenged by identifying what could go wrong, or how this has been done before, and how not to do it that way this time without being novel just for its own sake. I'm also turned on by the way form and content can be symbiotic and resonate off each other. [Directing a film] is a very collaborative thing, and I feel more like an orchestra conductor than a composer in the sense that I'm not necessarily playing the instruments, I'm not lighting the set, I'm not acting the scene, and I'm not choosing the wardrobe, but I'm trying to make those contributions coherent and harmonious.
MS: In a 2006 interview once posted on markromanek.com, you quoted Stanley Kubrick as saying the following: "Sometimes the truth of a thing is not so much in the think of it as in the feel of it." What rings true to you about this statement, and how does it affect your directorial choices?
Romanek: People think of [Kubrick] as having been such a cerebral perfectionist, but everyone who has worked with him will tell you that he was actually very logical in the way he approached the technical side of the craft, and maybe the logistics of production. But when it came to actual creation, he recognized how metaphysical and intangible and intuitive it needed to be. I mean, ultimately, all you're trying to do, whether you're Stanley Kubrick or John Cassavetes or J.J. Abrams, or whoever you are, you're trying to move people and engage them emotionally. If you want to engage them intellectually, you make a polemic, or a documentary, or a dissertation, or some sort of instructional piece. What we look for from art is for it to be engaging emotionally so that it widens our perspective of our sense of ourselves as living beings in the world. You have to block out all the noise and opinions and suggestions and arguments and distractions and just get in touch with the simple, intuitive gut feeling about things. And, you know, it's almost always right. Sometimes you can't articulate why you're doing what you're doing, but you know that it's the thing you need to do.
MS: What advice do you have for budding cinematographers and filmmakers?
Romanek: You have to be making your films about something besides films. It's got to be about the human condition or it's not really about much at all. And you've got to stay in touch with your own personal inner voice that's telling you the right thing to do, because you're going to get a lot of opinions and a lot of perspectives and a lot of noise. Go with your gut feeling and manage to find it; be able to quiet your mind in order to stay in touch with that. And be prepared for the level of determination that it's going to take to achieve what you want to achieve because it's a very difficult job. If you get a chance to direct, that's hard enough, but getting the chance is even harder. I'd also say, aim really high with your work, because the world is filled with mediocre things. The world is filled with things that are a bit more timid than they need to be. You have to astonish people to get their attention. So, I'd say, be daring, but make sure what you're saying is a sincere expression and that you're not trying to say something because you think it's what people want to hear. You have to be saying what you believe, but don't be afraid to push it to the edge of originality and daring and boldness.

?There have been few more persuasive or convincing comeback refrains in recent memory than "you should pump this shit, like they do in the future" - so goes the buzzing chorus of 'The Full Retard', one of our first proper tastes of El-P's return to the studio after a five year absence.
Combining instant appeal with Jaime Meline's usual lofty focus on execution and innovation, it was at once a breath of fresh air as well as a shot straight between the eyes. And if 'The Full Retard' didn't convince you that El-P was going to be returning on Cancer for Cure with both fists clenched and all guns blazing, then being pummelled by the relentless flow of opening track 'Request Denied' should put paid to all doubts – bludgeoning words into a dangerously high syllables-per-bar outburst; effortlessly liquid linguistics almost unparalleled in contemporary hip hop. "No, we're not dying – not for you" goes its final refrain – as if such an assured, defiant opening could've suggested anything else.
This apparent effortlessness is at once El-P's greatest strength and his only arguable flaw. He has always been rightly described as a dark, claustrophobic type – both lyrically and musically – but, coming relatively hot on the heels of something as widely lauded as Death Grips' trail-blazing The Money Store, even a record like Cancer For Cure comes off sounding slightly reserved or mainstream in its unwillingness to oversell its innovation.
Whilst Death Grips used showy bombast and self-conscious clashes of abrasion and fidelity to draw attention to its forward thinking futurism, El-P is confident enough to employ subtler nuance to showcase his progressive talent. The shape-shifting of these grim beats – often for only short stretches of tracks – evidence a craftsman's attention to detail combined with a trust that his audience will appreciate them without requiring neon-lit signposting. Take the last verse of 'Oh Hail No' (spotlighting a brilliant turn from Danny Brown) where, after a break for a second or two, the beat returns completely reconfigured, but entirely in-step with the textures and tones that preceded it - an organic overhaul executed seamlessly.
And El's actual flow is equally capable of oscillating between polarities – the relentless machine-gun fire of opening track 'Request Denied' or the more laid back pace of material like 'The Jig Is Up' – but doing so with such an organic quality as to never sound like he's self-consciously aiming for different targets or seeking to impress for its own sake.
As the album moves into a particularly confident patch of the grimly unfurling trilogy of paranoia which is 'The Jig Is Up', 'Sign Here' and 'For My Upstairs Neighbour', El's flow becomes so self assured as to no longer need to dazzle with force or speed, instead weaving its poetry around more conversational syllabic constructs; rising and falling into new tempos with the patient majesty of someone with nothing to prove.
And while El-P spends every single track arranging his syllabic patterning into deliciously complex tangles of thorns without ever making too much of a fuss it, the gut-punch of the actual content - lines like "to the mother of my enemy, I just killed your son" - are allowed their fullest impact, resulting in a collection of songs which expand to their full potential in several directions at once.
When you combine this teeth-gritting lyrical intensity with El-P's boundary-pushing production and stupefyingly capable poetics, it's little wonder that, for all its darkness, paranoia and rage, Cancer For Cure emerges as one of the year's most endlessly re-playable records.

Fairway and AWI Honor a Philadelphia VeteranApril 10, 2019 11:01 am
Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation recently partnered with the American Warrior Initiative to host a United States Marines veteran in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Along with this event, Fairway held a residential housing "boot camp" to train real estate professionals and mortgage planners on how to exhibit excellence in handling the home-purchase needs of active duty military members and veterans.
The event honoree, Debra McCollum, served in the Marines from 1980-1988 and has various disabilities from her time in service. Fairway and AWI raised $10,000 to honor Debra by presenting her with a service dog, "Keno," from Custom Canines. Keno will help Debra in her day-to-day life. For more on this fantastic event in the Philadelphia area, click here.
Founded by Louise Thaxton and Sean Parnell, the American Warrior Initiative is a non-profit organization sponsored by Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation. The AWI seeks to ease U.S. veterans' transition from military to civilian life.
I am proud to work for a company that does so much to honor those who sacrifice for our country. If I can help answer questions about VA loans or any other home loan options, please give me a call.Veterans

Daily entertainment news with "Marely & Me" tonight on FX, a recipe for Indian Saffron Rice and someone new to follow on Twitter.
Twitter handle of the day: Joy Behar, @JoyVBehar
Get a mixture of daily laughs and the latest news from this comedian and host of the "Joy Behar Show." A recent tweet reads, "Southwest pilot suspended 4 profane tirade broadcast across Texas airspace. Thankfully, air traffic controllers weren't awake to hear it."
On TV: 'Marley & Me' on FX at 8 p.m. EDT/ 7 p.m. CDT
Owen Wilson plays a family-man newspaper columnist who moves to Florida with his wife (Jennifer Aniston) and adopts a precocious Labrador puppy that is a constant handful of trouble. They name the dog Marley, and he stands by the family through thick and thin.
Dinner idea: Indian Saffron Rice
1/8 teaspoon powdered saffron
2 cups boiling water, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup uncooked long-grain whit rice, not rinsed
1 teaspoon salt
Steep the saffron in 1/2 cup boiling water. In a skillet that can be tightly covered, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the rice and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice begins to absorb the butter and becomes opaque, but do not brown the rice. Quickly pour in the remaining 1 1/2 cups boiling water along with the saffron water. Cover immediately, reduce heat to low, and cook 20 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. For best results, do not remove the lid while the rice is cooking.

In Place of a Gift
Many wonder stories are told about the "Jerusalem Tzaddik", Rabbi Aryeh Levin, of blessed memory.
His renowned son-in-law, the generation's foremost halachic authority, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Eliyashiv, is reported to have told the story of how this saintly man and his wife merited raising such an outstanding family.
It is a widespread custom in Eretz Yisrael for a chatan to give his kallah a gift when they enter the privacy of the yichud room following the chupah. But Rabbi Levine was so poor that he could not afford to buy a present. Instead he informed his new wife that in place of a gift he would present her with a promise that whenever they would have a discussion in their married life he would concede that she is right. Her response was that she was reciprocating with a promise that she would always concede that he was right.

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 10 (UPI) -- Corey Perry's goal during a third-period power play broke a 2-2 tie Sunday and the Anaheim Ducks went on to post a third straight win, 4-2 over St. Louis.

Perry added an empty-netter. Andrew Cogliano and Bobby Ryan also scored for the Pacific Division-leading Ducks, who improved to 18-3-3.
Francois Beauchemin racked up three assists and Jonas Hiller turned aside 29-of-31 shots to notch the victory.
Ryan Reaves and Patrik Berglund each scored for the Blues, who lost for the third time in five games.
Halak finished with 18 stops.
