From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Recipes are rarely easier or less expensive to make than this quick two-pan supper. I think you'll also find it surprisingly tasty, given the scant number of ingredients used to make it. I do, however, want to give you a bit of a heads-up regarding one of the required ingredients. About two-thirds of the way through the recipe, you'll find a call for stir-fry sauce. The sauce can be purchased in the Asian ingredient section of any large supermarket, and while it adds extra cost to the recipe, it can be a bargain for those of you who do not do a lot of Asian cooking. It certainly is cheaper than purchasing the ingredients you would need to make your own and it keeps well if refrigerated. I did, however, want to include this link to an excellent stir-fry sauce for those of you who want to make your own. I must admit the dish looks better when made with a red bell pepper, but the cost constraints of Frugal Friday mandate using the green variety. This is a very forgiving recipe, so feel free to use any pasta that you wish. This makes a great lunch or light supper meal for a family. Children seem to like it, though the youngest of them will skirt around the green pepper, which I suspect will never touch their lips. I hope you will give this recipe a try. Here is how these simple, but tasty, beef noodles are made.
Asian-Style Beef Noodles...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Family Circle magazine

US Embassy Accidentally Calls Beijing's Pollution 'Crazy Bad'
from the truth-in-advertising dept
While the US removed it to avoid diplomatic issues, apparently, people in Beijing who saw it, appreciated it:
Several residents said "crazy bad" was refreshingly frank, particularly given the reluctance of Chinese officials to disclose real-time pollution data or any measurements of ozone or PM2.5 particulate matter.Never underestimate how refreshing a bit of honesty can be coming out of political circles.
US embassy spokesman, Richard Buangan, said the "crazy bad" term was a mistake that has been corrected. "It was an inadvertent humorous moment," he said. "We thought it might blow up in our faces. But looking at the Twitter feed, we are seen as heroes."

WILMINGTON, Mass. — There are some prospects at the Bruins' fifth annual development camp this weekend, with little or no professional experience, who have flown by Zach Hamill on the organization's depth chart.
The center and 2007 first-round draft pick wasn't even kept around through the entire postseason as one of the "Black Aces" during Boston's run to the Stanley Cup championship following his nine-goal, 43-point season with the Bruins' Providence (AHL) farm club.
Bruce Cassidy, making his first public statements since he was promoted to head coach of the P-Bruins after three years as an assistant, was asked today about what Hamill has to do to get back in the mix as far as potential NHL contributors. Cassidy's answer pretty much covered every aspect of Hamill's situation.
"First of all, go back over the last three years, obviously … he hasn't developed as well as we all hoped. OK, so we all know that up front," said Cassidy. "Part of that has to fall on the coaching staff and part of that has to fall on the individual. You know now we move forward. Zach gets an opportunity to work with a new coaching staff per se. Maybe that motivates him, maybe we look at moving him around in a different position. He's been a center iceman, not a lot of room there, sometimes maybe try him on the wing. I know it's a little unorthodox, thinking outside the box. But maybe that gets his game to the next level, putting him with some players that can make him a better player also.
"But at the end of the day, when you're in your fourth year at the same organization, it falls upon yourself just to push people. I think, the individual has to recognize what's going on around him, a few people have passed him. And it's time for him to start passing a couple of younger guys that have come in the last couple of years. And whether he's ready to do that, we'll find out in September.
"But he is unique, you know. He was a top pick and sometimes there's no room. When you win a Stanley Cup there's obviously good players and there might not be room. But for him, part of his process could be 'hey there's 29 other teams, maybe if I show other people I can play' then he's still an asset to the Bruins but gets other teams to start thinking about him in their lineup, that are weaker you know up front. And that's sort of how Zach has to approach it. I think both at a personal level that 'hey I've got to find a home somewhere else, if it's not here, by playing well.' Or 'I've got to make space for myself here and they will move someone currently in the lineup.' That's kind of what falls upon the depth players, and that's how they push. Brad Marchand, he pushed guys out of the line up, let's face it. So guys have done it, it's just not that easy."
Well, if Hamill makes it to Bruins camp this fall, it sounds like Cassidy is ready to challenge the pivot like he hasn't been challenged previously. This will obviously be a make-or-break season wherever Hamill winds up.

Since I am in moving mode I am also in quick-dinner-every-night mode. There is not a lot of time for lengthy food prep and I am relying heavily on my pantry and herb garden for ingredients. Most nights I am either testing recipes for the next book, feeding the family something I pull together at the last minute, or picking up prepared foods at the store. It is a little something I have dubbed "moving survival mode." You just do what works one night, then move on to the next. The other night I made these awesome pork chops. My mother gave me the recipe since I remember her making it when we were little. It was one of her week night staples. In fact, there are many great recipes for pork chops that make awesome, easy weeknight meals. I will share more in the future, but these are a real favorite.
What I love about these chops are the mustardy undertones and crunchy lemony-herb crust. It is simple recipe that has a gourmet feel and can be served with a variety of side dishes. I also find that is a welcome departure from the basic Italian breading I do for things like Chicken Parmesan. A lot of times I steal a little time during naptime to bread the pork and have it ready to cook. It stays freshly wrapped up in the fridge for the day. At night, I simply cook them up in the skillet while I cook some rice or noodles and assemble a salad and dinner is ready! If I am really in the mood to make it a special night I find a great recipe for brownies and make dessert.
Lemon Sage Pork Chops
Prep Time: 15 minutes • Cook Time: 20 minutes • Serves: 4
2 Tbsp. GREY POUPON Country Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp. KRAFT Light Mayo Reduced Fat
1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
1 medium lemon, zested
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage (or 1 tablespoon dried sage)
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
4 boneless pork chops
WHISK together the mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. In a shallow bowl mix together the bread crumbs, lemon zest, sage, salt, and pepper.
POUND the pork chops between two sheets of wax paper until just tenderized, but not too thin. Working with each chop individually, dip the chop in the mustard mixture so that it is well coated. Then place it in the Panko mixture and turn it once or twice to make sure it is completely coated. Set side. Repeat with remaining three pork chops so they all are evenly breaded.
MELT 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Swirl so that it all coats the bottom of the pan. Then, place the pork chops in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes per side. Drizzle in a touch more olive oil if the bottom of the pan gets dry. Check doneness by cutting into one of the chops. Serve!

Twins' Doumit not on DL, but Blackburn is
Minnesota catcher Ryan Doumit is not on the disabled list, and
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire says the team's announcement that he
had been put there was incorrect.
Instead, Gardenhire said Thursday that right-hander Nick
Blackburn was going on the 15-day disabled list with a strained
left quadriceps. Blackburn was pulled after two innings in his
start Wednesday night at Detroit.
After that game, the Twins announced that Doumit had been put on
the DL with a strained right calf. But Gardenhire now says he's day
to day after an MRI revealed encouraging results. Gardenhire said:
"The announcement that he was on the DL was just a little early.
We kind of got ahead of ourselves."
Minnesota recalled outfielder Ben Revere from Triple-A Rochester
to replace Blackburn.

The ongoing debate concerning the possible Endangered Species Act listing of sage grouse brings to mind the issue of how do we, as a community, influence the decision so as to retain our property rights and the ability to continue in business?
We can argue that the drive to have an endangered species listing for the sage grouse has nothing to do with the bird but is only a method to place millions of western acres, both public and private, under nonresident control. This is not just an agricultural industry problem. If successful, this listing will completely change the way that those of us indigenous to the sagebrush desert will be able to conduct our lives. Make no mistake, to many in the opposition this is another battle in a war to once again remove the humans making their home in the open spaces of the western United States.
I believe that we should stick together, those creatures that actually live here. That means, all of us, including the sage grouse. We, indigenous humans, are the native environmentalists. Who better to know the land and the creatures? Who would have more affinity for the high desert landscape? Why have we allowed the debate to frame those of us who have lived here for generations, as people who pillage and plunder nature? Why would the opinion of someone who has chosen to live elsewhere carry more weight than the facts presented by those of us that the decision actually affects?
To this end, we must come to the rescue of one of our own, the sage grouse. A listing of this bird and the actions that are proposed will only serve to increase the major threats. We must continue to bring the debate back to what is actually best for the sage grouse and force the opposition to prove how their proposed actions will increase the number of birds by limiting the major threats. These threats are wildfire, predation and loss of habitat. We have, in the range cow, an ally that unknowingly fosters an environment conducive to sage grouse.
Cattle and sage grouse do not compete for the resources. Rather, the cow provides a positive benefit for the grouse each time she takes a bite of grass. She is (1) Reducing the threat of wildfire by removing the fine fuel that carries the fires; (2) Providing cow dung that fosters insects; (3) The primary herbivore removing the coarse grasses which allows the delicate regrowth; and (4) She continues to provide the economic base that keeps the rancher on the land, both private and public. If indeed the goal is to increase the number of sage grouse, the cow is the best tool available.
Wildfire is the number one threat to the condition of the range and specifically the sage grouse. Not only does fire kill the birds, it destroys the habitat by removing the sage brush and opens up thousands of acres to invasive plants. Well-managed grazing on these lands can go a long way toward controlling wildfire. There are thousands of acres in the West that have no cattle on them and many millions of acres that have a 50 percent or more reduction in the amount of grazing over the last 40 years. That being said, the sage grouse numbers have declined in conjunction with the reduction of cattle allowed on public land.
The production of manure, while sounding like what we often get from Washington, D.C., is important to provide a needed food source for the sage grouse. The cattle and the grouse end up using the same sources of water, which places the grouse in contact with what the cow has left behind. Actual entomology aside, a cow pie attracts insects which attract grouse. This is a plentiful food source during the dry times of the year.
All animals that eat grass prefer the young short grass in the spring or the regrowth later in the year. This includes cattle, deer, elk and sage grouse. In listening to the current debate, many people assume that grouse only eat sagebrush leaves. This is not the case. They also eat tiny forbs and regrowth. The cow is a primary grazer, meaning she can and will eat mature grass plants leaving them the regrow that season. This is a benefit to the rest of the system.
Perhaps the most important benefit the cow provides is an economic reason for a human to manage the land. This manager not only works to maintain and improve the land, he or she limits non-agricultural land development because the private ranch lands remain open working landscapes. With a rancher involved, Bureau of Land Management lands are managed by a businessman paying for the privilege to be on continuous fire watch, build and maintain water systems and control predators among the many other management duties that have a positive impact. The change to the land both private and public would be dramatic without an active, competent manager. What must also be understood is that the indigenous human is not an intruder to our high desert environment, but has been an intricate part of the environment for thousands of years.
An ESA listing of the sage grouse, while creating havoc in the rural West, will result in less sage grouse. Active management of the high desert by knowledgeable, competent, motivated, "native environmentalists" will provide an economic base for our rural communities and ensure that we can keep our beautiful, diverse, open West intact (and thriving?)

With a final shout of "Ka-boom!" from the 100 or so volunteers who helped construct it, a new playground officially opened Monday at Rosedale Park in an area still rebuilding after the April 27, 2011, tornado.
TUSCALOOSA | With a final shout of "Ka-boom!" from the 100 or so volunteers who helped construct it, a new playground officially opened Monday at Rosedale Park in an area still rebuilding after the April 27, 2011, tornado.
The installation was the culmination of efforts of the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority, PNC Bank, the United Way of West Alabama and the nonprofit organization KaBOOM!, a Washington, D.C.-based charity with the mission to install playgrounds and play spaces "within walking distance of every child in America," according to its website.
It also took a small army of residential volunteers, who constructed the playground in six hours under extremely wet and, later, cold conditions.
Volunteers included Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity members Evan Brannen, Thomas Lewallen and Michael Hooper from the University of Alabama.
Hooper, who serves as the fraternity's community service chair, said he was contacted by the Tuscaloosa Area Volunteer Reception Center, which was seeking help with the park's construction.
Hooper said he and the others turned out to assist with the construction and get a break from testing.
"It's finals week," Hooper said. "A lot of guys needed some stress relief, and this was a great way to get that and give back."
He and the other volunteers were not deterred by the uncooperative weather, a point that was noted by just about every organizer of the construction.
"It's amazing to see everyone out here," said Jim Hansen, PNC Bank's president of the Northern Alabama region. "You really find your friends on a day like this."
The park's origins began with an application from PARA to KaBOOM!, said Naudy Martinez, the charity's project manager for the Rosedale playground.
PARA met each one of KaBOOM!'s criteria, which led to PNC Bank, the charity's funding partner, to provide the necessary cash for construction.
Martinez and Hansen declined to specify how much the playground cost to build, but Martinez said its value would be immeasurable for the children who get to benefit from it.
"It's hard to put a price on," she said.
A ribbon cutting to celebrate the park's opening brought out city and county elected officials, among them were Tuscaloosa County Probate Judge Hardy McCollum, who grew up within sight of the park's location at the intersection of Greensboro Avenue and 31st Street.
He and Tuscaloosa City Councilman William Tinker talked of how the tornado of April 27, 2011, decimated this area of Tuscaloosa and pointed to the coordinated work of volunteers as a reason for its budding resurgence.
"The tornado changed the face of our entire community," McCollum said. "To people like you who have come together to rebuild our community, I thank each and every one of you."
Tinker echoed that sentiment, saying he appreciated the work of every one involved.
"To the volunteers," the councilman said, "I just wish I could go around and thank everyone of you."

In honor of this weekend's opening race for the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series, I've posted the first excerpt from the book on my blog at: http://fingerprint.typepad.com
I'm hopeful to post another 'exclusive' excerpt here on the Track Forum in the next few weeks.
The book is now at the printer, so its release is imminent in the coming weeks. You can pre-order the hardcover from Octane Press or other book retailers. It will also be released in all eBook formats.
I really enjoyed the lengthy discussion on the previous thread, and would be happy to continue answering any questions or comments you might have about the book here.
Take care,

There never seems to be a shortage of children who have been abused or neglected, and yet there is a shortage of volunteers to protect them.
Beginning in September, the Florida Guardian ad Litem program launches a new approach for its volunteer base of case workers as the program actively recruits and accepts volunteers who wish to work as partners.
�Sometimes we have volunteers a little uncomfortable to go into a home by themselves, and if they go into a home with someone, they feel more comfortable,� said Gerry Bagley, Guardian ad Litem case coordinator II. Bagley serves the south end of Okaloosa County as part of the 1st Judicial Circuit. The 1st Judicial Circuit covers Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties.
The concept of putting two volunteers on a case isn�t completely new in the 1st Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem, which has already seen spouses work together.
Because of the success of this, the Guardian ad Litem program will now be able to pair other working partners, such as the soccer moms who found that they get along well, scout parents who work together, church members, friends and family members.
Carita Smith, volunteer recruiter for the north section of Okaloosa County, said she sees a benefit to having two people work one case.
�Two sets of eyes are always good on any situation,� she said. �Where one may miss one thing that�s happening, the other might see it.�
Smith has been involved with the Guardian ad Litem program only a short time, but already she not only works to recruit volunteers, but she volunteers herself.
The extra time she puts into the program is because of the lack of volunteers. The north end of Okaloosa County needs 75 volunteers, but it has only 13.
�We have 200 kids who need a voice who don�t have a volunteer to speak for them,� she said.
The Guardian ad Litem program grew out of the need for finding stable adult voices to be given to children who have been abused, abandoned or neglected.
In Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties right now, more than 1,371 children are listed in the court system as needing a Guardian ad Litem, but only 765 have an actual volunteer to take the case.
As with any volunteer program, training is required, which is about 30 hours total, spread over a period of time. Training includes two day-long training sessions, about 13 hours of online training and two hours of courtroom observation.
The local offices also pair new volunteers with experienced volunteers through a mentoring program.
Once training is complete, Smith said that the actual time put into a case might come to about six hours a month.
�You are only required to visit your child that you�re Guardian ad Litem for once a month,� she also said. �You can visit more, but the required visit is only once a month.�
Volunteers must also be at least 21 years old, pass a background check and be free of felonies.
Smith said that potential volunteers are �anyone who has the compassion and the time, and who�s willing to give that time.�
Bagley said that the opportunities for volunteers in the Guardian ad Litem program aren�t limited to case management. The program needs pro bono attorneys, especially for youths who will be aging out of the foster care program. Volunteers are also needed as office workers or for occasional event planning and promotions.
The Guardian ad Litem program also has in the early stages of planning its nonprofit support group, the Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation. Members are needed to help this organization support the local program of this state agency.
Across the state, there are 21 Guardian ad Litem programs that provide a network of professional staff and community activists and volunteers in lending a voice for children.
�Our judges here, they have a lot of respect for our program,� Bagley said. �We are the eyes and ears for the judges, and often the judge will send us out to speak to the child and see what (the child�s) wishes are before he�ll make a ruling on a case.�
Smith, however, sums it up more simply: �I usually say the Guardian ad Litem is the guardian angel for the children who can�t speak for themselves.�
For information about the Florida Guardian ad Litem program, visit www.gal.fl.gov; to contact the south Okaloosa office, call 609-5466 or email Gerry Bagley at email@example.com; to contact the north Okaloosa office, call 689-5060.

Rising yields (CBOT:ZBH14) should be raising eyebrows not only on the explosive stock market (CME:SPH14) but also the global oil market. Japan gets a hot inflation reading as it seeks to move out of deflation and is being viewed as a positive. While the stocks are slap happy and continue to rocket higher, signs that the small caps could be weakening could mean we are getting closer to at least some type of correction. Oil (NYMEX:CLG14) tries to test $100 a barrel on light volume as the focus seems to drift away from inventories and more to a rising stock market. The dollar is getting a bit weaker and the war in the Sudan is raising some concern, yet it is the stock market run that is the most important feature in the market right now.
Now, you can argue that the run in stocks is justified, and it very well could be, but when a market goes parabolic the chances for a wicked correction or sell-off increases. An early warning sign may be the fact that the 10-year yield (CBOT:ZNH14) went above 3%. Higher yields may slow momentum, something we may be seeing signs of with small companies.
Oil has some concern about the civil war in South Sudan. Bloomberg News reported that deposed South Sudanese Vice President Riek Machar said his forces control all of the country's oil fields and plan to allow crude production to continue amid a conflict with government forces.
Reuters is reporting that China will send its special envoy for Africa to South Sudan to help push talks. China's foreign minister was quoted as saying on Thursday, as the world's newest country spirals into violence. The envoy will head to South Sudan "soon" to communicate with all parties, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during a visit to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, in comments carried on the Foreign Ministry's website. Wang did not name the envoy, but he was likely referring to Zhong Jianhua, an urbane veteran diplomat who has deep experience of the conflict in South Sudan. The announcement came a day after China called for all sides in the South Sudan conflict to stop fighting.
The conflict has killed hundreds and some 45,000 civilians are seeking protection at UN bases. Violence erupted in the capital, Juba, on Dec. 15 and quickly spread, dividing the land-locked country of 10.8-million people along ethnic lines. "China is highly concerned about the evolving situation in South Sudan," Wang said. China has extensive energy interests in South Sudan. It is already the biggest investor in oilfields in South Sudan, through state-owned Chinese oil giants China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) and Sinopec. Beijing is also one of Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir's major supporters. The fighting has also affected oil production, which accounts for 98% of government revenue in South Sudan. It has forced CNPC to evacuate some of its workers.
Oil inventories are released today! Some expect crude supply to increase by 2.2 million barrels.
Natural gas is pulling back ahead of today's Energy Information Administration reported despite the fact that we are having the coldest start to winter in more than a decade. Demand has been strong and production curtailed as ice and below zero temperatures impacted production. We are looking for a 176 bch withdrawal.

Listed as Near Threatened as this species is believed to have undergone a decline exceeding 20% over the past 27 years or so, mainly as a result of hunting and extensive habitat loss, especially in the eastern parts of their range. Their cryptic nature and ability to survive in small forest fragments and to adapt to some anthropogenic disturbance has no doubt enabled them to persist and remain common in parts of their range. Almost qualifies as threatened under criterion A2cd.

|The Olive Colobus is confined to the forests of west Africa, and is discontinuously distributed from southern Sierra Leone and Guinea to south-east Nigeria. Oates' (1982) map shows a more or less continuous range from Sierra Leone to Ghana, extending just east of the Volta River, and again in Nigeria on the south bank of the Benue River just above its confluence with the Niger. He considered the distributional gap to be real rather than an artefact of collecting or observation (Groves 2001). In a few localities (e.g., Tai forest, Côte d'Ivoire), it is only locally distributed, but numerous. In a recent survey of Bénin and Togo, Campbell et al. (2008) found the Olive Colobus in 13 of the 26 localities surveyed in Bénin; no sightings were made in Togo by Campbell's team, although it was reported by hunters at one locality (see Campbell et al. 2008 for more details).

|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species inhabits the high forest zone of West Africa and can be particularly common in areas of secondary growth within high forest, in swamp and palm forests. Olive Colobus are cryptic in colouration and behaviour, residing in small groups, usually as part of a large polyspecific association, and mainly occupying the lower and middle dense vegetation strata (Oates 1988; Campbell et al. 2008). It is found extensively in farmbush in parts of its range, and it appears that they can survive in small and degraded forest fragments. It prefers dense growth below 10 m, but may ascend to 30 m or even the canopy when feeding in the company of other species. The diet of the Olive Colobus is mainly comprised of young leaves, buds, and flowers (70%), as well as only 10% mature leaves. There is a strong preference for unripe fruits, although the quantities of fruits and seeds taken vary according to the season. It is almost always found in close association with other cercopithecus monkeys (diana, mona, petaurista, cambelli). This species is almost exclusively arboreal, and is very shy.
|Major Threat(s):
|This species is probably declining due to loss of its forest habitats and hunting, especially in the far eastern part of its range, towards Nigeria.
|Conservation Actions:
|The Olive Colobus is listed as a Class A species under the African Convention, and under Appendix II of CITES. It occurs in a number of protected areas.

I was told there are three ways acceptable to read Aauzubillah, Bismillah and a surah, and the fourth way is not, is this true?
In your article Seeking refuge and Saying the "Basmalah" http://www.abouttajweed.com/seeking-refuge-and-the-basmalah-in-recitation/seekin g-refuge-and-saying-the-basm.html you have said that there are 4 ways in which you can read Aauzubillah, Bismillah and a surah. I was told that only the first 3 are acceptable to do and the last one, reading Aauzubillah and Bismillah in 1 breath then stopping then reading the surah is not right and that you shouldn't do it that way. I would like to know if this is true?
Jazak Allah
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
All four possible ways are allowed when reading the isti'aadhah, basmalah, and the beginning of a surah, and it is allowed to read the istia'aadhah with the basmalah in one breath then stop and start reading the surah. There is no reason for this to be forbidden as it does not cause confusion to the listener.
You may be confusing this with reading the end of a surah and continuing and reading the next following surah with the basmalah. In this case there are four possible combinations of reading the end of the surah, the basmalah, and the beginning of the surah, but only three are allowed. The way that is not allowed is joining the end of the first surah with the basmalah, then stopping and then reading the beginning of the next surah. The reason for the forbiddance is that one may think that the basmalah is actually part of the first surah, not the beginning of the next surah.

HS Football Top Plays
We know the pros have skills, but these teen ballers can also get the highlight (and Vine) reels spinning. Fumblerooski » | Crazy KO return » | Hidden ball trick » | Biggest HS player ever? »MaxPreps
The Thursday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, well, it had a finish.
Aaron Rodgers hit Richard Rodgers for a 61-yard Hail Mary touchdown with zeroes on the clock, one play after a controversial face mask penalty extended the game after time had expired.
Oh, there was some social media reaction from the sports and celebrity world. Adrian Peterson, whose Minnesota Vikings would have benefited greatly from a Packers loss, shared his thoughts (and corrected his heat-of-the-moment mistake):
Lol, i'm sorry but a thumb hitting the face mask isn't pass interference! Heck of a play =— Adrian Peterson (@AdrianPeterson) December 4, 2015
I mean face-mask— Adrian Peterson (@AdrianPeterson) December 4, 2015
= Why all the hate, a brother can't speak his mind?! Guess what?! I forgive & love you still!— Adrian Peterson (@AdrianPeterson) December 4, 2015
A certain celebrity fan of the Green Bay Packers wasn't really bothered by the call:
I just lost my voice ====1===1=1=1=1=1=1=1=1=1=M=J=O=O=O— oliviamunn (@oliviamunn) December 4, 2015
Two former Wisconsin basketball teammates were at odds over the call: the Houston Rockets' Sam Dekker, a Wisconsiner and Packers fan, and the Charlotte Hornets' Frank Kaminsky, a Chicagoland native and Chicago Bears fan:
I lost hope for a sec. was before the flag for face mask https://t.co/cuwGnaLMlp— Sam Dekker (@dekker) December 4, 2015
Yea... "Facemask" https://t.co/Mu5l5p0OxE— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) December 4, 2015
Just in case all the people tweeting at me want to come back from LaLa Land and join the real world https://t.co/u3WRaLwq0U— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) December 4, 2015
With all that being said I think Rodgers is the only QB that can make that last play. Unreal sequence.— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) December 4, 2015
Others also didn't agree with the call, whether or not they were happy about it:
Another poor call by the #nfl officials cost a team a game! I'm sorry @Lions! There was no face mask!! pic.twitter.com/5NTfmwisKc— Heath Evans (@HeathEvans44) December 4, 2015
Definitely a phantom facemask. #GBvsDET— Brendon Ayanbadejo (@brendon310) December 4, 2015
Wow that was ridiculous!!!!! Justice serve for that no call on the PI!!!! #GopackGo— NickBarnett (@NickBarnett) December 4, 2015
Then there were the Lions fans:
Life of a Lions fan. #hailmary— Jalen Rose (@JalenRose) December 4, 2015
Speechless #Lions— Justin Verlander (@JustinVerlander) December 4, 2015
As a Lions fan this happens all the time. U get use to it after awhile......— Jason Richardson (@jrich23) December 4, 2015
And let's not forget the other Packers fans and/or people who were just blown away by the whole thing:
Go Pack go!!— Anthony Davis (@AntDavis23) December 4, 2015
The last two plays in that packers lions game ... Wow.. Just wow.. Thoughts?— Wale-Roof Whisperer (@Wale) December 4, 2015
Haha what!? Wow...— Derek Carr (@derekcarrqb) December 4, 2015
Wow!!!— Justin Forsett (@JForsett) December 4, 2015
Wow!— Skylar Diggins (@SkyDigg4) December 4, 2015
Craziest finish I've ever seen!!! #GBvsDET wow @AaronRodgers12 what a play!!!!!— jarryd hayne (@JarrydHayne) December 4, 2015
Kobe Bryant is saying goodbye. Tim Duncan isn't -- but he surely will soon. (Right?)
Both players soared over their generational counterparts and won five titles each, albeit in different ways. Kobe flashy, Duncan subdued. Kobe with mountainous highs and abyssal lows, Duncan with a steady run that makes us wonder if he can keep this up for a few more years.
But who was better? Mike and Mike discussed in the video above -- pointing out that it's very hard to choose between the two.
Now it's your turn:
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- How's this for surreal?
Floyd Mayweather sat courtside for Jimmer Fredette's D-League debut on Monday with the Westchester Knicks.
Surrounded by what had to be the biggest entourage in D-League history, Mayweather ate popcorn, drank soda and doled out advice to Fredette from his seat near midcourt.
"He just kept telling me to shoot it," Fredette said. "And I was like, 'All right, I'll shoot it.'"
Fredette ended up with a game-high 37 points on 12-for-17 shooting in Westchester's win over the Grand Rapids Drive.
Mayweather liked what he saw from Fredette, but he attended the game at the 2,000-seat Westchester County Center to support guard Jordon Crawford.
Mayweather told ESPN.com that he flew in from Las Vegas on his private jet that morning to make it to Crawford's game.
"He's my mentor," said Crawford, a 5-foot-6 guard from Bowling Green. "He's like family."
At halftime, Mayweather took pictures with fans and signed autographs. He also took some time to praise Crawford, who went scoreless on Monday but had three steals in 15 minutes.
"The Lakers could really use some help. Not taking anything away from any players, but Philadelphia also really needs help. I think Philadelphia and the Lakers should take a look at Jordon Crawford," Mayweather said.
Sounds like the recently retired Mayweather might be angling for a job in Sam Hinkie's front office.
As for Fredette, the 2011 lottery pick is still looking for an NBA home. He's spent time with four teams, most recently with the New Orleans Pelicans, who released him last month.
Fredette is an NBA free agent, but Westchester owns his D-League rights. The 6-2 guard hopes that some success in the D League will lead to another opportunity.
"I know I can play in the NBA, and I can be a very good player in the NBA. I'm excited to be able to start here," he said. "Sometimes you've got to be able to go backwards in order to get back up to where you want to be."

World stocks muted ahead of meeting on Greece
BANGKOK -- Asian stock markets rose modestly Monday after the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season in the U.S. topped expectations. But trading in Europe was subdued hours before finance ministers gathered yet again to discuss what to do about Greece.
The ministers of the 17 countries that use the euro are scheduled to meet in Brussels to try to reach an agreement on conditions that Greece must meet before the next installment of its emergency bailout loan can be disbursed. Athens faces bankruptcy without the cash.
In early European trading, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.1 percent to 5,812.32. Germany's DAX was 0.1 percent down at 7,301.64. France's CAC-40 lost 0.3 percent to 3,519.75.
Wall Street, gearing up for its first full day of trading since last Wednesday, was set to fall. Dow Jones industrial futures lost 0.2 percent at 12,937 and S&P 500 futures shed 0.3 percent to 1,401.50. U.S. stocks rose on Friday after a half-day of trading.
Stocks in Asia fared better, posting some modest gains after what appeared to be a successful start to the traditional pre-Christmas U.S. shopping season.
Americans visited stores and websites in record numbers last Friday, the day after the Thanksgiving holiday that is dubbed "Black Friday" because U.S. retailers traditionally turn a profit as millions of Americans rush out to stores in search of gifts for Christmas and other celebrations.
Surveys showed a record 247 million shoppers visited stores and websites between Thursday and Sunday, up 9.2 percent from the year before.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.2 percent to 9,388.94 while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.3 percent to 4,424.20. Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, India and the Philippines also rose.
But South Korea's Kospi shed 0.2 percent to 1,908.15. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was sapped of momentum by lethargic mainland Chinese markets. The index lost 0.3 percent to 21,857.77. The Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.5 percent to 2,017.46. The smaller Shenzhen Composite Index lost 1.4 percent to 789.49.
Francis Lun, managing director of Lyncean Holdings in Hong Kong, said traders were shying away from mainland stock markets due to the failure of Chinese authorities to remove companies that fail to earn profits after three years.
A regulation exists to allow for a delisting after three years, but it is not enforced, Lun said.
"If you cannot weed out the losers, the stock market will be inundated with companies not doing anything," he said. "The listed companies are out to grab money instead of earning a profit for shareholders."
Among individual stocks, Japanese vehicle makers posted solid gains. Toyota Motor Corp. rose 1.7 percent. Nissan Motor Co. added 2.3 percent. Yamaha Motor Co. gained 2.1 percent.
Australia's Sydney Airport rose 1.5 percent after announcing it has secured about $1.1 billion in new funds to repay existing debts and fund future spending.
Benchmark crude for January delivery was down 9 cents to $88.18 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 90 cents to finish at $88.28 per barrel on Friday.
In currencies, the euro fell to $1.2957 from $1.2971 late Friday in New York. The dollar fell to 82.01 yen from 82.40 yen. Earlier Monday, the dollar rose to 82.59 yen.

You don't really need to read that to appreciate this, though.
They're making out on the couch in David's apartment. Archie is warm, willing, and pressed up against him, and David is having a hard time remembering that they're going slow. He starts trailing kisses down Archie's neck, and Archie tips his head back to give him better access, his breath coming in little hitching gasps. David slides his hand just under the hem of Archie's shirt and presses his palm against the warm skin of Archie's stomach. Archie's hand clenches in his hair.
A few minutes later, Archie pulls back. David's sure he pushed too far, and he feels like a dick. Archie's never done more than kiss with anybody else. He told David that. He's just so gorgeous and pliant and eager that David forgets sometimes.
David takes a deep breath, and he's about to apologize when Archie says, "Um, we can—if you want?" He gestures vaguely, but David gets the drift.
"Oh, Arch, no. Don't feel like you have to—I already told you I don't mind waiting till you're ready."
"No, I want to. I'm ready. I've been, um, reading, and—"
David can't help laughing. "What did you do, google gay sex?"
Archie presses his lips together and blushes.
"Oh my god, you did!"
"Well, how else am I supposed to find out things?"
"You could ask?"
Archie's eyes widen. "Oh, gosh, no. No, I don't think I could."
David sighs and shakes his head. "You're adorable, you know that?"
Archie just looks at him hopefully.
"And you're really sure?" David asks.
"Yes," Archie says, nodding firmly.
"Okay, then." David stands up, offering his hand and pulling Archie up after him. He leads him into the bedroom, then pulls him close and kisses him. "Gonna make you feel so good, baby," he whispers low in Archie's ear. He smiles when Archie shivers against him.
Archie pulls back and pulls his shirt off in one smooth motion. "Now you," he says, gesturing at David's shirt, and damn, that is hot. David obligingly unbuttons his shirt, taking it slow and feeling his skin heat up under Archie's gaze. He's barely let the material slide off his shoulders when Archie is on him, all warm lips and eager hands framing his face as they kiss.
David revels in the new feeling of skin on skin, letting his hands roam over Archie's back, and he's half hard by the time Archie breaks off and walks backward towards the bed, pulling David with him.
Archie lays back, and David follows willingly. He looks so gorgeous spread out across David's sheets, looking up at him with total trust. They kiss again, and David lets his hands wander like he's been wanting to for the last two months.
Archie reacts to every touch, arching and making little noises in the back of his throat that go straight to David's cock. He starts kissing down Archie's chest, taking his time. He swirls his tongue around a nipple and bites gently. Archie lets out a yelp, and he looks up quickly. "Too hard?"
Archie stares at him with wide eyes. "No."
David smiles. "Awesome." He returns to the job of driving Archie absolutely crazy.
He pauses when he gets down to the waistband of Archie's jeans, then laps at the skin just above the button and runs his thumbs teasingly just under the line of the fabric. Archie moans and arches up. David looks up the line of his body. "You're sure?" he asks, just one more time. He wants this to be good—to be right, not something Archie's going to regret in the morning, but Archie just gazes steadily down at him.
"I'm sure, Cook. I promise I've thought this through. Now will you please just touch me?" The last is said with a slight, desperate whine.
David grins. "Yeah, I think I can do that."
He makes short work of Archie's jeans and boxers, and, god, Archie is hard and wanting, every inch of him beautiful. David just has to stare for a minute. "You are so amazing, you know that?" he breathes. Archie just smiles at him. David leans down and laps at the head of his cock, already leaking beads of precome, then sucks him down. Archie thrusts up into his mouth with a broken cry, and David chokes a little and pulls back.
"Easy there."
"Sorry, sorry. I just—"
"Nothing to be sorry for, sweetheart," David assures him. He goes back down, bracing an arm across Archie's hips. He alternates licking and sucking, rolling his tongue against the bundle of nerves just under the head, until Archie is completely gone, tossing his head back and forth on the pillow, making desperate little gasps and moans. Then Archie reaches down and stops him.
"Something wrong?"
"No. Gosh, no. Just, I don't want—I want you to—" Archie takes a breath and meets David's eyes. "I want you to f-fuck me," he says.
David nearly comes right there. "Are you sure? We don't have to—the first time?"
"Please," Archie says, eyes pleading, "It's what I want. To be that close to you?"
David licks his suddenly dry lips. "Yeah, okay, sure. Yes."
"I have, um, things. If you need—"
David blinks. "Did you plan this, Archuleta?"
Archie shakes his head. "No. I mean, sort of? Not, like, tonight? But I started carrying it with me a little while ago. Just in case, for when I was ready."
"You are amazing," David repeats. "It's okay, though. I have—things."
Archie just nods. "Okay. Okay, good. Awesome."
"Okay. Turn over on your stomach. It'll be easier the first time."
Archie complies while David slides out of his own jeans, hissing as the material slides over his aching cock. He kneels behind Archie and lays a line of kisses down his spine, smoothing his hands down his sides. When he gets down to the last vertebra, he pauses, then spreads Archie open. Archie tenses up, and David strokes his hip. "Shh," he soothes. "Trust me, okay?"
Archie breathes out, and David feels the muscles relax under his hand. He dips his head and licks at Archie's opening, testing. Archie trembles and lets out a soft, "Oh." David licks until Archie is pushing back against him, mumbling a string of nonsense syllables. Then he pushes inside the ring of muscle, tasting the musky flavor there. He thrusts his tongue in a few times while he presses his knuckles against the skin behind Archie's balls. Archie's keening and pushing back, begging wordlessly.
David pulls back and reaches for his nightstand, where he grabs a bottle of lube and a condom from the drawer. He pours a generous amount of lube over his fingers and circles one around Archie's hole. When he feels the muscle relax, he pushes in. Archie goes still.
"Yeah, just. Weird."
When one feels easy, David adds a second finger. He scissors them inside Archie, searching. When Archie lets out a surprised cry and his inner muscles flutter, David grins. He's careful with the third, but Archie pushes against his hand, taking it in faster than David planned. Not long after, Archie feels loose enough that David thinks he's ready. He pulls his fingers out, and Archie whimpers with the loss.
David reaches for the condom. "Last chance," he says. "You're sure?"
"I'm sure. I want it to be you."
David nods, feeling a sudden sting behind his eyes. He rolls the condom on and slicks himself, lines up and slides in, slowly, slowly. Biting his lip, he fights for control. "Feel so amazing. So tight," he gasps out.
Archie's breathing in harsh pants now. "Know it hurts, baby," David says. "Just hold on for me."
Another minute, and David is all the way in. Archie's tense all over, and David hates that he's hurting him, but he knows he has to stick it out now. "Try to relax," he says, stroking Archie's hair, his arms, his back. Little by little, David feels Archie relax.
"Okay," Archie finally gasps. "Okay, you can move."
David goes slow at first. Out and back in, shallow little thrusts growing longer. It's not long before Archie is pushing back against him, learning to match his rhythm.
When he's close, David reaches around and wraps his hand around Archie's cock, pulling in time with his thrusts. The beautiful broken sounds coming from Archie hit his ears like a harmony. A few more pulls, and Archie is coming hot over his hand. His muscles clench around David's cock, and that's it, David's coming with a shout.
He pulls out reluctantly and discards the condom, then he gathers Archie against him. Archie tilts his head up, and David kisses him. He pulls back and just stares for a minute. He thinks he must have been pretty awesome in a past life to deserve someone as amazing as Archie. "I love you," he says, only realizing as he says it how true it is.
Archie's smile is like the sun. "Me too," he whispers, tucking his head into the crook of David's neck. David tightens his arms around him. He never wants to let go.

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. -- A search firm has been hired to find the next Superintendent of the Yorktown School District.
Superintendent Dr. Raph Napolitano announced his retirement back in March after 11 years of leading the district, effective at the end of the school year.
The search firm has begun to solicit candidates and review credentials, according to the district. There is no leading candidate and no interviews have been held, the district said.
Focus group meetings will be held on April 20 so a profile can be developed for the next superintendent. The district has also set up a website to keep residents updated.
David Fine's resignation as Peekskill superintendent has caused some to speculate that he will take over as Yorktown superintendent. A district spokesperson was unaware if he had submitted an application since the process is being handled by the search firm.

Party busted in Grand Coulee 18 minors charged
A 20-year-old man was cited for possession/consumption of alcohol by a minor and for 17 counts of supplying alcohol to minors, after officers were called on a complaint of noise at a residence on 803 Division Street, Grand Coulee, about 12:30 a.m., Sunday morning.
A person living nearby complained to police of excessive noise coming from a party at the home. When officers arrived, they found evidence of drinking both outside and inside the residence. Police met two teenage boys attempting to leave, and they rushed back into the house yelling, the cops are here.
An officer went to the rear door of the house just in time to see some of the group attempt to leave. They dumped the beer they had in their hands and went back inside.
The officer's report stated that it appeared there was 25-27 in the house.
Officers questioned 20 individuals, all minors, and ended up filing charges against 18.
Teenagers were scattered about the house and beer containers were found in abundance. One teen became disruptive and was encouraging others to do so and had to be handcuffed.
The party was at the 20-year-old's house, and he refused to say how he got the alcohol. Two in the group were over 21, and not cited.
The officer had all the teens pour out their drinks. Officers contacted the minors' parents and guardians.
Then the party was over.

You know it's true
"Nothing tones your butt like complex equations." - A. Einstein [citation needed]
Einstein was more than just a little smart, he was a genius. No one doubts that. Why, people still talk about a little thing he came up with called Relativity: The Special and General Theory. But Einstein wasn't always thinking of monumental things. Sometimes he had tiny thoughts and wrote insignificant theories (like his Theory of Belly Button Lint). This silly Einstein shirt is a tribute to all of Einstein's lesser known ideas - to all the ideas that exist only to make one smile.

There have been numerous reports on the back-and-forth between the Phils and Jays, enough to make your head spin. So here is what we know right now:

Baseball sources indicate that the Phillies might be able to pry Lee away from Cleveland with a package of second-tier prospects like Carlos Carrasco and Jason Donald (by second-tier, I mean not phenoms like Kyle Drabek and Dominic Brown).
--The Phillies are highly reluctant to surrender both Drabek and J.A. Happ. Outfield prospects Michael Taylor and Dominic Brown have been mentioned as possible pieces in a deal, and both teams believe that Brown has more potential than
--The entire Phillies front office will be on a plane to Arizona tonight to discuss these issues. They typically only travel with one executive, but trade deadline week is a wild one. Stay tuned.

The Australian dollar has extended its weakness against the U.S. dollar (FOREX:AUDUSD) in the past few trading days, but decline from the high still can be considered as a contra trend corrective movement, but more complex than on the first place. We are looking at the double zigzag with a potential test of the 0.9000 region next week before we can finally turn bullish on the Aussie.
AUD/USD Elliott Wave Analysis Daily
On 4-hour chart AUD/USD broke through the former swing low at 0.9266 and has extended down to 0.9120 today, which means the bearish trend is in progress for another three wave fall. We are tracking an A)-B)-C) down from 0.9245, which is a second part of a complex correction, called a double zigzag. If we are correct, then in the next few trading days the market will rally up in wave B), probably back to 0.9230-0.9260 from where the downtrend could resume.
AUD/USD Elliott Wave Analysis 4h
Elliott Wave Education: Double Zig-Zag
Elliott called sideways combinations of corrective patterns double threes and triple threes. While a single three is any zig-zag or flat, a triangle is an allowable final component of such combinations and in this context is called a three. A double or triple three, then, is a combination of simpler types of corrections, including the various types of zig-zags, flats and triangles. Their occurrence appears to be the flat correction's way of extending sideways action. As with double and triple zig-zags, each simple corrective pattern is labeled W, Y and Z. The reactionary waves, labeled X, can take the shape of any corrective pattern but are most commonly zig-zags.

Dental Anesthesia
How Soon Send 4yr Old Daycare After Anesthesi
How soon is it recommended to send a just turned 4yr old to daycare after being under 2 1/2 hrs of anesthesia for dental work (inc. extraction/cavities filled & crown). She was under from 9am til 11:30am. Daycare starts at 7:30am.
For most healthy children, they should be able to go to daycare the next day. The action of the anesthetics should be completely gone the next day. Glad everything went well.

"Unlike almost every other food culture, the Koreans seem to have f****ed up their food the least." – Anthony Bourdain
Well said, Tony. It's true. It would seem that nothing is sacred in the world of food once it hits our shores. Our so-called "Chinese" cuisine has birthed things as perverse as egg rolls and fortune cookies. Tim Ferris (another of my spirit animals) points out in The 4 Hour Chef that chains in China have had big success selling "California beef noodles." You know the Japanese were probably scratching their heads at "California rolls." We've even managed to Americanize something as humble as traditional Mexican food. Was the world really made a better place by the invention of the chimichanga?
Korean food is served in America without alteration. They have not dumbed down their complex, spicy flavor profiles for our vulgar palates. Kimchi, their famous fermented cabbage? Sure. Drink-able sweet potato? Why not. Beef intestine stew? It's all there. If you've eaten Korean food in this country, it's very likely you would find the same things in any Korean home. And if you haven't ever eaten it, you're about to find out that living near an air force base has its perks.
Meet Anastasia: Native of Seoul, good friend, and hairdresser extraordinaire.
I'm lucky to know Anastasia, and especially lucky that she knows her way around Korean food. As luck would have it, Tinker Air Force Base and its surrounding hamlets (Midwest City, Del City, Moore) which straddle Oklahoma city are a hotbed of Korean cuisine. Anastasia's favorite place (and now mine) is Dong-A in Moore, a short journey down I-35 from Oklahoma City. The restaurant is located in a strip-center next to an other-worldly Korean grocery store which carries colorful, indecipherable packages of things like squid jerky and cylindrical rice dumplings. The whole things smacks of the kind of authenticity you'd expect from a side-street in Seoul.
Together with our friends Louden and Igor, we trekked South for an enormous, unforgettable meal. Anastasia conversed with the restaurant's Korean owners and got us a seat in the barbecue room. Cordoned off from the larger dining room, this chamber of secrets is like having your own private kitchen for the evening. Each table has a built in grill which allows you to––you guessed it––cook your own food. And by food (and this is the best part), I mean meat.
We had only a small sampling of what the menu has to offer, but the three meat dishes alone probably could have fed the whole Romney family, sister-wives included. Before our beef-stravaganza we had pork belly, the fatty king of all the meats. Brought to the table raw and seared on our personal grill with garlic and a menagerie of side-dishes, the sweet meat allowed us to taste the whole spectrum of Korean flavors. You could try the meat on its own, or add a little bite of spicy vinegar lettuce. Or maybe you'd prefer kimchi, bean sprouts, or a little dip into sesame oil and chili paste. The whole idea is to mix and match and try new combinations, all of which are add new strong flavors and textures.
Following on the heels of the pork was Bulgogi, Korea's quintessential marinated beef. Sweet and rich like teriyaki, the beef was nicely complimented by the salty sesame and the tang of kimchi.
Finally there was Galbi: one beef to rule them all. These are the short ribs, bone in, which allow you to gleefully tear at the meat with your hands (that is, if you enjoy eating like a savage as much as I do). Marinated in soy before we grilled it, this was definitely the meat with the most flavor, even if eating it required a little more fortitude.
To say Korean food is "different" is a massive understatement. I mean, where else do you get to use scissors as a utensil? It is indeed un-f***ed up, offering meat dangling with tasty fat and fermented vegetables pungent and spicy enough to make your hair stand on end. This is not food for wimps. But it is a seriously distinct cuisine, like Vietnamese or Indian, which developed its own way of using ingredients and spices. Dong-A is as good as it gets in the Oklahoma City area, offering a fabulous menu beyond what you grill yourself. Not only that, the portions are huge, and everything comes with the obligatory Korean side dishes, all for very reasonable prices (think <;$10 per person).
So if you're not squeamish about raw meat (why are you reading this?) and you want to try something totally, unapologetically unique, then take the drive down to Moore. I promise there's nothing else like it.
Dong-A is open Tuesday-Sunday for Lunch and Dinner.

The Scarlet PimpernelBook - 1905
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Wonderfully sappy... Hubba, hubba! : )
"We seek him here, we seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven or is he in hell? That damned elusive Pimpernel."
I know this book primarily from an early 80s English adaptation starring Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour, and, in one of his earliest roles, Ian McKellen. I always thought the book was French but Barones Orczy was actually a Hungarian-born English author. This began life as a very successful play and then turned into a series of novels. It's a potboiler and so entertaining, but a little silly and its pro-royals sentiments are off-putting to this American reader. Filmed multiple times. Not sure if he or Zorro came first, but they were among the first to have alter egos. Be sure not to accidentally pick up the blaxploitation take-off "The Scarlet Pimp."
Fun and adventurous story. The style and prose can be a little difficult, although this could simply be due to the fact the book was written about one hundred years ago. Starts off slow, but builds nicely.
Romantic, historical, funny, and such a great plot. I've read it several times and will definitely read it again!
i love this bdododkdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
I am a fan of the masked hero type. Zorro and Batman and the like. So you might want to take what I say with a grain of salt because I think I was predisposed to like this novel. And I did like it. There are less of the heroic adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel here than you may expect. You hear about his breathless, selfless rescues more than you actually get to see them. A lot of the book is told from the point of view of Lady Blakeney so the reader stays in England with her instead of getting to go to France with the Scarlet Pimpernel. But you still get to hear how he fools the French and does all sorts of heroic things. I think the events hold more surprises for the characters than they do for the reader but I don't think that hurts the story. Sometimes the 'I just want to be able to die beside my beloved' emotion of Lady Blakeney gets to be a bit much. And I have to admit that I was getting tired of being told that she was ever so clever, even though at times she didn't act like it. Over all I really liked it. It is fun and exciting with some suspense and romance.
I absolutely love this book! I read it on vacation and couldn't put it down. It is full of mystery and romance. I recommend if you like this story to watch the 1982 movie version (the library doesn't have it). My husband also likes this book!
I was expecting a rollicking adventure, and received that for the first 2/3 or so. Then the story devolved somewhat into overwrought (and repetitive!) female waiting and suffering. I enjoyed the story, and that it was mainly told from Marguerite's point of view, but eventually this modern feminist reader rammed up against Orczy's unempowered, helpless "little woman" who must be rescued. I was just expecting Marguerite ("the cleverest woman in Europe") to be more active in saving the day.

"They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel." - Baroness Orczy
Before entering, she paused once again to look at him, hoping against hope to see his arms stretched out to her, and to hear his voice calling her back. But he had not moved; his massive figure looked the very personification of unbending pride [...] Hot tears again surged to her eyes[.] She turned quickly within, and ran as fast as she could up to her rooms. Had she but turned back then, and looked out once more [...] she would have seen [...] a strong man, overwhelmed with his own passion and his own despair. He was but a man madly, blindly, passionately in love, and as soon as her light footsteps had died away within the house, he knelt down upon the terrace steps, and in the very madness of his love he kissed one by one the places where her small foot had trodden, and the stone balustrade there, where her tiny hand had rested last.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cypriots elect a new president Sunday from among 11 candidates. Here is a look at the three main candidates.
NICOS ANASTASIADES, 66: A lawyer by trade and the front-runner in the election, Anastasiades has led the right-wing Democratic Rally (DISY) party since 1997. He rose steadily through the party's ranks from youth wing leader to president and has been continually elected to Parliament since 1981. His steadfast partisanship hasn't won him many friends from the left of the political spectrum, but he is recognized for his strong leadership.
On the economy, Anastasiades aims to use his ties with European Union leaders to convince potential creditors that Cyprus will repay any loan it receives by following through with painful reforms.
On Cyprus reunification efforts, he favors a looser political partnership with breakaway Turkish Cypriots and engaging Turkey directly in peace talks, a departure from the current approach which has stalled.
STAVROS MALAS, 45: A British-educated geneticist, Malas is a relative newcomer to Cyprus' political scene, having been appointed health minister by outgoing President Dimitris Christofias in 2011. Malas' candidacy is backed by the communist-rooted AKEL party which portrays him as the sole candidate with a clean political slate that voters can trust. But AKEL's support is a double-edged sword for him as voters have come to identify the party with Christofias' perceived failed presidency.
Malas' message on the economy is oriented toward softening the bailout terms to protect salaried workers and focusing on job creation to get the shrinking economy up and running again.
On Cyprus reunification efforts, Malas subscribes to Christofias' vision of a north-south federation with a highly centralized government.
GIORGOS LILLIKAS, 52: After graduating with political science degrees in France, Lillikas returned to Cyprus in 1987 and began his political career the following year as adviser to President George Vassiliou. He was elected to parliament on the AKEL ticket in 1996 and 2001. Late President Tassos Papadopoulos appointed him commerce minister in 2003 and foreign minister three years later.
The main thrust of Lillikas' economic pitch is to immediately sell portions of the country's newfound offshore gas deposits so the country can be rid of bailout-mandated austerity within the year.
Lillikas was a staunch opponent of a U.N.-drafted plan to reunify the island, which was ultimately rejected by Greek Cypriots in 2004. He is perceived as hawkish on peace talks, saying he would restart negotiations from scratch and would eliminate any provision that would keep the two communities geographically separated.
