FOOTBALL: Avery rides fledgling programs to NFLPA roster
Devan Avery, who played high school football in Moreno Valley before moving to Texas, had a standout career at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, earning an invitation to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
INCARNATE WORD ATHLETICS, CONTRIBUTED IMAGE
CARSON â" In a perfect world, Devan Avery probably would have played in last yearâs NFLPA Collegiate Bowl â" the first â" rather than this yearâs second edition of the game at the Home Depot Center.
As Avery notes, âMe and startup programs kind of have a history.â
Still, the defensive back who began his high school career at two Moreno Valley schools â" Rancho Verde and Vista del Lago â" has had enough success with fledgling programs to earn a rare invitation for a Division II college athlete to the pre-draft showcase.
Heâll be one of six Inland athletes taking part in the 3 p.m. game, to be televised by ESPN2 â" and closely watched by NFL scouts.
Joining Avery on the American team will be Fresno State center Richard Helepiko, who played against Avery at Moreno Valley High; Southern Utah quarterback Brad Sorensen, from Colton, and New Mexico Highlands linebacker Jordan Campbell, from Norco. Playing for the National squad will be UCLAâs Damien Holmes, from Norco, and SMUâs Aaron Davis, from Elsinore.
When Averyâs family moved from Moreno Valley to Texas, he played his final year of high school at Wagner High School in San Antonio, a first-year program. It was a fairly significant cultural change.
âThey live and breathe high school football,â he said. ââ¦ I had to get used to how passionate everyone was about it.
âThe coaches were a lot more disciplined than the coaches Iâd experienced, really big on âYes sir, no maâam,â no facial hair. Especially in San Antonio â" a military town â" so there was a lot I had to get used to.â
From there, he went onto the University of the Incarnate Word, a San Antonio school just starting its Division II football program.
âWe didnât win as many games as I would likeâ â" in its first four years, the program has gone 12-30 â" âbut it was an amazing experience. I got to meet people Iâm going to be friends with for the rest of my life.â
Having helped start two football programs, heâs now trying to start his own pro career, and there are reasons to believe thatâs a realistic goal.
Incarnate Word plays in the Lone Star Conference, which Avery calls âthe SEC of Division II football.
âOur conference sends so many people to the NFL every year itâs ridiculous,â he says. âSo â¦ my sophomore and junior year, Iâm playing against people who are getting drafted by NFL teams, or signing as undrafted free agents. And Iâm thinking, âOK, if I can play with these guys, then I feel like I can play with anybody.â
It didnât hurt that Incarnate Wordâs coach for Averyâs senior season was Larry Kennan, whose resume includes 16 years as an NFL coach and a Super Bowl ring as an assistant with the L.A. Raiders.
âHe has a lot of NFL experience and knows a lot of NFL people,â Avery said, âso I knew my chances were rising, and then I get invited to this game. And of course I hopped on it immediately.â
Heâs aware heâs in the company of college players whose experience was quite a bit different than his â" âguys that each week have 70,000, 80,000 fans. I think my home games averaged like 1,100. Itâs crazy. â¦
âI never got to experience any of that. But I feel like being here, Iâm kind of experiencing it a little bit, playing Division I.â
Avery considers showing heâs coachable to be the most significant thing he can accomplish this week.
âWe only have a few days to practice,â he said. âSo to be able to take what I learn in these few days and put it all together into a game is important.â

Hamburgers are an affectionate memoir of the 20th century American appetite, recalling backyard barbecues, squirt bottles of ketchup, and thighs sticking to vinyl in a small-town diner. There’s no stopping the free-wheeling burger, and in the spirit of free enterprise, empires continue to be built in the 21st century upon our insatiable, unblushing appetite for quarter-pounders, fully loaded, piled high on a sesame seed bun.
Hamburgers burst forth in a spirit of democracy, particularly suited to a capitalist economy. In Ann Arbor, for instance, you may grab a burger at the roll-back price of two bucks plus change at Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burger. Then, head up the street, hang a right down Main, and pull up a chair at Vinology, where Kobe beef sliders, with a trio of house-made ketchups, make a small meal for ten big ones. Catch the restaurant at happy hour and that same plate is half price.
The recipe’s author, Grace Parisi, makes her pesto with basil, almonds and Pecorino-Romano - a laudable combination with the tang of sheep’s milk cheese. I made a huge batch of pesto several months ago and froze it, but used pine nuts instead of almonds and cow’s milk Parmigiana Reggiano instead of Pecorino. Most cooks who love Italian food have their own version of the classic Italian paste, and any made-from-scratch pesto would be appropriate in the following recipe.
The debate may never end regarding fat-to-meat ratios, whether grass- or corn-fed cattle produces the best grind, or if the knowledge regarding the source of the product is important. I waffle when it comes to fat content; my palate prefers a fattier, thus juicier, burger, but health data suggests I refrain. But I avoid eating corn-fed, feed-lot beef, and especially grinds, when I haven’t a clue as to the origin.
I could grind my own meat, but that’s a hassle, so it’s great to have a variety of places to shop that provide specific information as to a product’s origin. I’ve visited Lamb Farm in Manchester and know for a fact those grass-fed cattle are humanely raised; their grinds are available at Arbor Farms.
Whole Foods has an animal welfare rating system, which rates meat products on a scale of one to five based on the quality of the animal’s life. The six-step, color-coded labeling system allows consumers to make their choice based on specific criteria. I purchased the grinds for the following recipe at the Eisenhower Whole Foods, and the counter staff have an encyclopedic knowledge regarding the origins of the products they sell.
At the end of the day, when the debates have ceased, you just want to know: Does it taste good? After the first bite of this Caprese Burger, I pronounced the fusion brilliant; a burger where dreams are made—a burger to remember. The only issue was the attack; this is one big son-of-a-gun, so I’d advise using a minimalist bun.
The following recipe was adapted from Food and Wine. Click here for other memorable burgers, including the Bacon-Jam Burger, Go-Blue Cheese Burger, Portabella Burger and a knock-your-socks off Turkey Burger.
Yield: 6 burgers
Time: 35 minutes
1 heaping cup prepared basil pesto
1 pound ground beef chuck
1 pound ground beef sirloin
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 6 slices
6 hamburger buns, split
2 tomatoes, sliced
1. Gently knead 1/4 cup of pesto into the ground chuck and sirloin. Form the mixture into six patties.
2. Oil grill grates, and heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Grill the burgers for 3 minutes. Flip the burgers, top with mozzarella slices and close the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes longer for medium-rare burgers.
3. Grill the buns until lightly toasted, then divide the remaining pesto on the bottom of the buns. Top with the burger and tomatoes. Close the burgers and serve.

Training: Yes

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for the recipe, making it easy for readers to follow along while preparing the burgers. The instructions are detailed enough to encourage deeper reasoning by allowing readers to understand the reasoning behind each step (such as the choice of ingredients and cooking methods) and consider variations or personal preferences in their cooking approach.

Whoever designed the TAPPS D-II District 2 schedule deserves a pat on the back.
The Week 10 league schedule includes three massive games, albeit with one major dud.
Grace Community and Dallas Parish Episcopal, both tied at 8-1 and 5-1 in district, will duke it out for second place at Clyde-Perkins Stadium tonight at 7:30.
Bullard Brook Hill (5-4, 3-3) travels to play Carrollton Prince of Peace (5-4, 2-4) in what is essentially a play-in game for the playoffs.
Also, Bishop Gorman (2-7, 1-5) goes for its first home win of the year against Dallas Shelton (2-6, 2-4), with the opportunity to go from seventh place to as high as a tie for fifth. Friday is homecoming and “Senior Night” for the Crusaders, who will have more than enough incentive to go into the offseason on a high note.
Deviating from the theme, the fourth game pits unbeaten Dallas Christian (9-0, 6-0) at cellar-dwelling Trinity Christian-Cedar Hill (2-7, 0-7), an apparent mismatch.
PARISH EPISCOPAL AT GRACE COMMUNITY
The Cougars haven’t beaten the Panthers since 2007 and last year’s loss was Grace’s only blemish in district play.
Grace is coming off perhaps its best performance of the year, pulling away from local rival Brook Hill with a 48-14 win.
Stars are emerging all over the field for the Cougars, from running back/linebacker Kade Clayton to defensive lineman and leading tackler Andrew McCarty, both juniors.
Clayton and McCarty, along with the rest of the Grace defense, will have to deal with the powerful running duo of Tre Vance and Zach Shelley, who have both surpassed the 1,000-yard mark.
Vance leads the Panthers with 1,244 yards while Shelley, who has 6,434 yards for his career, has 1,173 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Grace can counter with Clayton (1,714 total yards, 29 total TDs) and senior quarterback Blake White (2,219 total yards, 22 TDs accounted for).
“I think the keys will be establishing a run game, protecting our quarterback and having a high percentage of completions,” Grace coach Mike Maddox said. “Obviously a key defensively is stretching out their sweeps and the things that they do and cut down the run lanes that they try to create.”
Whoever comes out on top wins a home playoff game next week against the third-place team from District 1. The loser hits the road to face the second-place team from District 1. Former district foe Waco Reicher currently sits in second in that district, with Fort Worth Christian in third, though Arlington Pantego and Arlington Grace Prep are right behind.
BROOK HILL AT PRINCE OF PEACE
Both Brook Hill and Prince of Peace were in Division III last year and though they were not district foes, they did play.
The Guard crushed the Eagles 48-7 in a dominating performance in the regional playoffs on the way to a state title.
In that game, Prince of Peace’s triple-option attack managed just 13 first-half yards and 91 for the game, showing the Guard know how to defend the unique offense.
Brook Hill, however, graduated much of its team from last year. Prince of Peace comes in averaging 340 yards per game on the ground and barely above double digits passing.
While many of the Guard players who weren’t starters got into the game last year, they also saw the triple option against Spring Hill in September.
“We’re hoping to rely on the knowledge of that,” Brook Hill coach Terry Pirtle said. “A blown assignment can turn into a big play.”
Pirtle said the Guard hope to capitalize on some turnovers, which the Eagles have had the propensity to do. Prince of Peace has put the ball on the ground 34 times, losing 21 fumbles on the year.
Brook Hill quarterback Will Weathers will be eager to have a good game after being limited by injuries and defenses during a three-game losing streak. The senior had 203 yards and three touchdowns passing against Prince of Peace last year, adding 35 yards on five carries.
Weathers did not play in the fourth quarter last week against Grace, but Pirtle confirmed it was as a precaution given the significance of tonight’s game.
SHELTON AT BISHOP GORMAN
District rivals last year, Shelton scored 21 points in a five-minute span to defeat Gorman 35-28 and earn the No. 2 seed in district via a three-way tie with All Saints.
While not as much is on the line this year, the Crusaders could move into a three-way tie for fifth with a win and go into the offseason in style.
For the Crusaders, a win starts with containing Ben Luedtke, one of the top playmakers in the district who plays quarterback, defensive back and returns kicks. Last year Luedtke accounted for all five touchdowns against Gorman.
“He is a great athlete,” Crusaders coach Coby Gipson said. “He can run, he can throw, he can read the defense, he’s a great kick returner. He is an outstanding athlete and outstanding player. Everything goes through him on offense, defense and special teams.”
On offense, Gipson wants his offensive line to give quarterback Tristan Saint enough time to find playmakers like Cale Tucker (821 total yards) and Collin Parks (860 total yards), as well as establish a running game with Taylor Hurst (651 rushing yards).
Tonight’s tilt is both homecoming and “Senior Night” for Gorman, which has yet to win at home.
“We hope everyone has a great time at the game and we hope to be able to win one for the whole Gorman community,” Gipson said.
Dallas Parish Episcopal Panthers at Grace Community Cougars
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Clyde-Perkins Stadium
Records: Parish Episcopal 8-1 (5-1 TAPPS D-II District 2); Grace 8-1 (5-1)
2011 Result: Parish Episcopal 49, Grace 42
Last Week’s Results: Parish Episcopal 53, Carrollton Prince of Peace 28; Grace 48, Bullard Brook Hill 14
Players To Watch:Parish Episcopal — RB Tre Vance, RB Zach Shelley, RB Andrew Boyd. Grace — RB/LB Kade Clayton, QB Blake White, DL Andrew McCarty.
Quick Slant: The Panthers want to run and have the horses to do so. Vance (1,244 yards, 13 TDs) and Shelley (1,173 yards, 24 TDs) are the dual pistons that keep the chains moving for Parish Episcopal. The Panthers also have the second-best defense in the league, allowing 13.3 points per game, five points better than Grace’s third-ranked defense. After Cougars leading tackler Adam Graham went down with a season-ending injury, McCarty took over the team lead with 79 tackles.
Who’s Next?: Both teams: Playoffs.
Brook Hill Guard at Carrollton Prince of Peace Eagles
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Herrington Stadium
Records: Brook Hill 5-4 (3-3 TAPPS D-II District 2); Prince of Peace 2-4 (5-4)
2011 Result: Brook Hill 48, Prince of Peace 7 (regional playoffs)
Last Week’s Results: Grace Community 48, Brook Hill 14; Dallas Parish Episcopal 53, Prince of Peace 23.
Players To Watch:Brook Hill — QB Will Weathers, LB Ryan Young, DL/OL Mason Dickey. Prince of Peace — QB Pat Hoerr, RB Taylor Nelson, LB John Bloom.
Quick Slant: Brook Hill just needs a win to get in. A loss by fewer than 15 points could also do the trick, unless Bishop Gorman beats Dallas Shelton. The Eagles average 340.4 yards per game on the ground with their triple-option offense, led by Taylor (971 yards) and Hoerr (607). In last year’s game, Prince of Peace managed just 54 rush yards.
Who’s Next?: Playoffs Pending.
Dallas Shelton Chargers at Bishop Gorman Crusaders
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: McCallum Stadium, Tyler
Records: Gorman 2-8 (1-6)
2011 Result: Dallas Shelton 35, Bishop Gorman 28.
Last Week’s Results: Shelton 36, Trinity Christian-Cedar Hill 7; Dallas Christian 49, Gorman 0
Players To Watch:Dallas Shelton — QB/DB Ben Luedtke, RB Rich Morton, TE John DiCaro. Gorman — QB Tristan Saint, WR Cale Tucker, OL/DL Matt Roe.
Quick Slant: After Shelton prevented Gorman from winning the No. 2 seed in their TAPPS D-III district last year, the Crusaders will be looking for a bit of revenge. An even game last year, both teams will want to show who has grown the most since the end of last season. Luedtke runs the offense, defense and special teams for Shelton and accounted for five touchdowns in last year’s win. Tucker had a game-high 83 yards rushing in the game.
Who’s Next?: Both teams: Season complete.

I dragged the image to PS, selected all, dragged the window by the LR corner to expand the window. Then I clicked on Edit>transform>Rotate, grabbed a corner and rotated it some clockwise. Then I clicked on Select>Inverse to select the corners that the rotate created and used shift-delete to do a content aware fill for the corners. Then I used the clone stamp to clean-up the created parts of the rotated frame and blend the corners.
The result of the above steps created the first layer. To lighten the edges of the modified image I used the lasso to make a selection and used the refine edge to feather the selection. Then I make an exposure new layer using the selection and bumped the exposure to further lighten the selected border area. Then I used a filter layer to add a slight bit more warmth. Finally I made a new layer from the existing layers, used Topaz DeNoise to reduce the shadow gritties, added a little mid-tone bump with USM and used the sharpening tool to slightly sharpen the eye and bill and some feathers the DeNoise had slightly softened.

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. Digging into my vast backlog of DOTSBE cars for more interesting Brits. Howzabout a Minx?
We can thank Wimbles for getting these high-quality photos of a car not often found in nature these days, particularly in a town with 95% garage-equipped modern houses. Maybe there's an even nicer Minx inside the garage!
I was digging through my hard drive looking for DOTS candidates I've snapped in San Francisco and I remembered one I saw right in my own hometown of San Ramon, in the East Bay. It appears to be a 1961-63 Hillman Minx Series IIIC judging by the lack of chrome trim and the "1600" badging on the door which indicates the 1592cc OHV 4-cylinder engine. Beyond that I don't know anything about it. This car appeared in my area for about a week or two in March 2007 and I haven't seen it since.

It will be the final home game for Loic Remy on Saturday at St. James” Park, and the French International has had a great season on Tyneside with a goal in every two appearances, and so far he has 13 goals in 26 appearances for the Magpies, and seems to have enjoyed his stay on Tyneside.
Loic Remy – scoring at West Ham
The news is that Arsenal are said to be making a move for him in the transfer market, and they will bid around £12M for the striker, and Loic seems to want to play for the top London side.
One of the reasons we have lost six games in a row, was that Loic Remy and Mathieu Debuchy have been our since the Hull City game, in which Pardew picked up his seven game ban – and it seems to have started the rot.
But the two of them started for the first time since the Hull game at Arsenal, as did Moussa Sissoko, who had also missed a few games with injury, and the three Frenchmen gave us a little bit more bite and class in the side.
This is what Pardew told the Shields Gazette about them:
“We had the three internationals coming back,” “And they’re important players for us.” “I don’t think they were every going to produce their best performance on their first full game back in the Premier League.”
“I thought Moussa looked great considering he had a hamstring injury only three weeks ago. I was really pleased with him.” “They will be up to speed for Saturday.”
“Debuchy looked a little bit more tired than the other two.” “I took Debuchy off because I wanted to save him for Saturday. He will be better for the game.”
With Loic Remy leaving the club, and Luuk de Jong simply not making the grade, Newcastle will need to bring in some strikers in the summer transfer window, although there seems a chance that veteran striker Shola Ameobi could be offered a contract extension this summer.
Let;s hope Remy can fire in a few of those goals for us on Saturday, and who knows we could even get a win – that’s when we score more goals than the opposition – remember?

NHIAA Div. II boys' basketball: Souhegan upsets Portsmouth
On the day Souhegan High School of Amherst hosted the memorial service for 2012 graduate Tony Barksdale, the school's boys' basketball team honored the former Sabers player with a 69-65 upset of second-seeded Portsmouth in the NHIAA Division II quarterfinals Saturday.
Souhegan, the No. 7 seed, advanced to face No. 3 Lebanon, a 61-34 winner over Bishop Brady of Concord, in Wednesday's semifinals at the University of New Hampshire's Lundholm Gymnasium.
Services were held at Souhegan one week after Barksdale, a Boston University student, was found unconscious at an off-campus apartment and rushed to the hospital, where he died a few hours later. The Souhegan team attended the service, during which head coach Mike Heaney was one of the speakers.
In other Division II quarterfinals, top-ranked and unbeaten Pembroke Academy beat No. 8 Pelham, 47-35, and No. 13 Coe-Brown Northwood Academy ousted No. 12 Windham, 54-39.
Pembroke will face Coe-Brown in the 7:30 semifinal, after Souhegan takes on Lebanon at 6 p.m.

AUBURN - Auburn basketball concluded 10-straight days of practice Tuesday in preparation for its three-game, six-day basketball tour of Cancun, Mexico, Wednesday through Monday. NCAA rules allow only Auburn"s returning players to make the trip.
"We have had a good 10 days of practice," said head coach Jeff Lebo. "It has been interesting because we haven"t had a day off. We have lower numbers so they haven"t had a break. I thought today"s practice was pretty good and was competitive.
"The thing that I have noticed this year more than anything is that everything has been pretty competitive which has made the juices flow. The kids want to win in every drill. They are getting after each other pretty good so that makes us all get better in practice. I thnk they are ready after 10 days to see someone else. We got a lot done, and it will be interesting to see how we play against other faces down in Mexico."
Auburn will play three games against teams in the Mexican Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional beginning Thursday vs. Quintana Roo Pioneros followed by Selection Quintana Roo Friday and a second game vs. Quintana Roo Pioneros Saturday. All three games begin at 7 pm Central.
The Pioneros played Team Mexico, which is coached by former Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson, July 27-29 as part of Team Mexico"s training for the FIBA Americas Championship in Las Vegas Aug. 22-Sept. 2. The tournament qualifies two teams for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
The Pioneers open their Mexican Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional schedule Sept. 6. Playing for the Pioneros will be local stars Cesar Campos and Mauricio Ramos along with Tomas Rios, Oswaldo Guzman, Miguel Ojeda and Enrique Baños.
The Tigers leave Auburn at 3:45 am Wednesday before flying from Atlanta to Cancun. The team will practice later that afternoon.
"Everybody has been going good, but we are a little tired after practicing for 10 straight days," said junior Korvotney Barber. "We have progressed from last year and are looking forward to going to Cancun. It is going to be a lot of fun, and we are ready to work hard down there and play well. It will be good to see how much we have improved since last season.
"We have been doing well in practice, and it will be interesting to see how we play once game-time comes. Everybody is a lot stronger, more mature and is making better decisions than last year. It will be good to go to Cancun."
The Tigers will tour the Mayan Ruins of Tulum, 82 miles south of Cancun, Thursday morning. Tulum is one of the most beautiful cities of the Mayan culture with the most spectacular view of the Mexican Caribbean. The city of Tulum is the only known archeological site located by the sea and was constructed at the top of a cliff facing the blue sea and has the world"s second-largest coral reef.
The following two-and-a-half days in Mexico are only basketball for the Tigers as they play their games against the country"s professional teams. The team will close out its trip with a tour of Isla Mujeres, a small, calm island located to the north of Cancun on Sunday. Isla Mujeres combines the beauty of the Caribbean, the dense tropical jungle and the wonderful heritage of the Maya civilization. It stands out as one of Mexico"s natural treasures.
This is the fourth foreign tour Auburn has experienced, going to Spain in 2001; France, Germany and The Netherlands in 1997; and Israel in 1973.

You ever feel like the NBA starts to get boring between Christmas and St. Patrick's Day? Well new commissioner Adam Silver may spice-up that lag with a mid-season tournament similar to the ones that club soccer teams participate in.
Silver said the NBA is considering a mid-season tournament, possibly in Las Vegas.— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) July 16, 2014
One idea is that the four teams with the best records would play a single-elimination style tournament. None of the games, however, would count on the standings. You got to ask yourself, what's the point? When someone tears an ACL, people are going to question meaningless competition for exhibition games. That's of course, if that's the direction they're looking to go. Without anything concrete, it's really just speculation at the moment.
Speaking of speculation, let us know what you think below.

It lists several actions related to a demonstration series but lacks detailed and structured procedural instructions that would guide someone through the tasks comprehensively. For training a language model capable of deeper reasoning, the instructions would need to be more explicit and contain more context or details to encourage analytical thinking.

The really weird thing is that nobody was saying that melo is better than durant before this streak !!
This means that knicks fans don't really appreciate their stars and don't have the needed faith in them.
Actually, new yorkers are always harsh when it comes to their teams, they easily turn their back on them when they have a rough period of time.
It's a fact, most of you all didn't have faith in melo before, saying that he's a one dimensional star, some didnt even call him a super star!!
I understand why, i get it, but you guys should have more faith even when the team fukcs up.
I still remember the comments i read about melo when he left the huddle during a time-out no more than a month ago and you guys RAPED him with some nasty comments.
Yes he wasn't that wise, but come on, have some faith and dont just change your thoughts that easily.
Some of what melo did was childish, but he proved that he has the mentality of a superstar who can play offense and defense, we saw that at the beginning of the season, so please REMEMBER THAT!
Melo for the scoring title, JR for 6th man of the year.

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles
Let’s see, if I was going to make my own candy, what would be the most popular ingredients to include? Dark Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Caramel. So it’s not surprising that I bought this gable box of Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles.
The box holds about 15 individually wrapped bon bons filled with layers of caramel and peanut butter all covered in dark chocolate.
The front of the box says that there are no artificial flavors or colors, but that doesn’t mean that the ingredients are simple. There are things like malto-dextrin, fractionated palm oil (organic) and tocopherol (Vitamin E). But part of what makes the list so long is also how many of the items are preceded by “organic” such as the caramel (organic milk, organic sugar, etc).
The bronzy twisted mylar wrappers hold the bon bons well. They’re glossy and nicely domed, about 1.125 inches in diameter. They’re about 12 grams each, which is approximately the same size as a Lindt Lindor Truffle (though not spherical).
The shell yields easily to the soft interior. The burst of caramel comes first, as it’s more of a syrup than a firm chewy variety. The flavor is good, a little hint of burnt sugar but mostly a salted sweetness. The peanut butter base is very smooth with a smoky flavor for the most part and a light burst of salt as well. There’s a bit of chocolate in the filling as well, it looks like maybe a layer between the caramel and peanut butter - probably to keep them from mingling. The melt of it all is less than stellar, the chocolate is quite firm but the peanut butter is soft but slightly waxy (is that what fractionated palm oil is like?). Overall, it just never came together for me as a decadent whole. I’ll probably finish the package at some point but I’ve passed them over plenty of times when looking in my goody drawer over the past week, which is a rating in and of itself.
I still might consider these as a hostess gift, especially if you know the person is inclined towards the elements of caramel, dark chocolate and peanut butter. Even though they’re not as flashy, I prefer Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (which I’ve been eating by the tub-full for extra calories).
There is no ethical sourcing statement for the chocolate on the box, though the organic status of many of the ingredients bodes well for the attention the makers pay to sourcing ingredients. The truffles contain soy, peanuts and milk. They’re made in a facility that also processes wheat, eggs and tree nuts.

After an entire day of fighting for points, Belton and Copperas Cove were forced to share the glory.
Entering Saturday’s final event of the Big Red Relays, the host Tigers trailed the Bulldawgs, who were situated in first place, by a dozen points in the overall standings.
Belton quickly made up the deficit, though, winning the 1,600-meter relay by more than eight seconds to clinch a share of the meet championship. The victory gave the Tigers 169 points, tying them with Copperas Cove, while Killeen (121) and Shoemaker (64) rounded out the top four.
The quartet of Anthony Mirabel, Andre Ewing, Johnny Rodriguez and Braden Hammond posted a winning time of 3 minutes, 25.62 seconds for Belton in the 1,600 relay, but Killeen’s second-place finish proved to be the reason the Bulldawgs did not take home the title.
Joshua Immormino, Eddie Adams, Jamari Wade and Michael Mouton delivered a time of 3:34.00 for Killeen, beating the Bulldawgs’ team of Antonio Lealliiee, Michael Summeral, Michael Onco and Trent Canion by 2.74 seconds, and the four-point difference between second and third place prevented Copperas Cove from earning the championship.
Individually, Belton produced three of the top four athletes in the meet.
William Watson finished second in the standings after being a part of the Tigers’ first-place 800 relay team and winning the 110 hurdles. He helped the 400 relay team to a second-place finish and was fourth in the triple jump.
Ewing and Mirabel were second and third individually, scoring 21 and 20 points, respectively. Along with each running in the pivotal 1,600 relay, Ewing won the 300 hurdles (40.87) and was third in the 110 hurdles (15.98). Mirabel ran in all three relay races for Belton and finished third in the 400.
The Tigers did most of their damage on the track, placing either first or second in each of the relay races, winning both hurdling events and getting a gold-medal showing from John Jennings, who won the 3,200 with a time of 10:35.00.
Copperas Cove’s Zack Watts won the other distance running event, finishing the 1,600 in 4:48.00.
The Killeen foursome of Keondre Parker, Jimmerick Martin, Devin Johnson and Joshua Shemwell narrowly prevented Belton from sweeping the relay races, winning the 400 relay over the Tigers by 0.11 seconds with a time of 44.53.
The back-and-forth between Belton and Copperas Cove began early and was on full display during the throwing events.
Between the combined top 12 spots in the shot put and discus, the Tigers and Bulldawgs occupied nine.
In the shot put, Justin Murphy easily won the event with a distance of 57 feet, 5½ inches, while Copperas Cove’s Jalen Waters (52-0½) placed second followed by Belton teammates Sam Hussey and Reagan Francis.
The Bulldawgs dominated the discus, claiming the top two spots, with David Castillo (154-2) earning gold and Gabe Perez (152-7) taking silver.
The trend continued in the pole vault as Jason Cole’s first-place height of 11-6 led three Bulldawgs in the top four, while Belton’s John Holmes carved out a second-place performance by clearing 11-0.
Killeen’s best showing came in the jumping events, with the Kangaroos winning the triple jump and high jump while finishing second in the long jump.
Parker’s leap of 43-1½ in the triple jump was slightly better than Copperas Cove’s Derris Prater, who finished second with a jump measuring 43-0.
In the high jump, Anthony Oliver cleared 6-0 to earn another gold medal for the Kangaroos. Copperas Cove’s Milosz Deskins (5-10) and Killeen’s Justin Glaze (5-8) followed him in the standings.

Here’s All What’s Left of 1994’s Giant “Gold Mountain” Mural at Romolo Place in North Beach – GraffitiThursday, July 21st, 2016
First, the giant mural of Romolo was all like this:
But now it’s all like this – I haven’t been through this way since it got painted over, thusly:
“I’m done with them. That’s why the mural is painted over,” Sherry said. She said that during the 2004 restoration, which took almost a year, she worked on the mural six days a week for almost a year and was only compensated for transportation and lunch. “It was an absolute nightmare,” she said. “All they could pay me was coming out of their poor little pockets, so I accepted it because at the time I could afford to take a lot of time to do this. … So I basically just did the work, and they let it go to hell again.
There was a theory that murals discourage graffiti. I don’t know well that theory worked out…
Here’s an interesting contrast. The local is jaywalking on the far side of the intersection, and he’s made it most of the way across, and plus he’s running.
Compare that with the Airbnb-type tourists, who, in this case, were on the near side of the intersection, and had not made it most of the way across when their light turned red and, of course, were not running:
This road would be a good one to have more traffic signals and less median:
I’d plan ahead to cross at an intersection with a signal, or I’d wait for a break in traffic, as if I were a jaywalker. I wouldn’t just start crossing the street just hoping drivers would notice me.
Anyway, sometimes all the drivers stop, except one, and that’s when the trouble starts…

I don’t know, is this a thank you for all the fed money we’re getting for the wasteful Central Subway?
Next stop, Willie L. Brown Jr. Boulevard!
Thank you, drive through.
Uh, shouldn’t we wait until people die before honoring their legacy?
I think so.
Otherwise you end up with something like Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti International Airport, with Uday Terminal and Qusay Terminal, right?
(Incidentally, Willie Brown was behind a push to change the name of SFO to Willie Brown International back in the 1990’s. I’m srlsy. Then the airport people came back with a study showing how the IATA code letters SFO constituted one of the world’s best-known “brands.” So that was the end of that proposal. But the impulse is the same, in’nt? The desire to have one’s name all over the place, statues, busts and the like. How sad!)
What It’s Like to Travel Around San Francisco During New Year’s Eve, When the SFPD is Especially TolerantWednesday, January 2nd, 2013
How many SFPD cops saw this maneuver, do you think, when a partying driver treated McAllister Street at Franklin like a one-way street?
But this kind of behavior is tolerated on NYE in the 415 because the cops, well, the cops will generallyhave their hands full with other stuff.
So, drive however you want and soon enough you and your tummy full of alcohol will back get home to the Marina or the Marin safely:

Gen Fujioka of the Chinatown Community Development Center is involved with promoting the horrible Central Subway to Nowhere.
Artist Ann Sherry is fortunate to get a five-figure commission for anything, so I’m not sure why she’s so perpetually cranky.
It’s not smart to put up images of authority figures (you know, people in military of police uniforms) in a sort of wild part of town

“In my young career I have already had incredible experiences that have helped me grow as a competitor,” said Wade. “I look forward to reaching new milestones in 2014, and feel confident as ever knowing I have this remarkable support every step of the way.”
“Becky’s bold personality, natural curiosity and winning spirit on and off the road perfectly matches the energy of the Asics brand,” commented Asics America Athlete Manager, Annie Adams.
Wade, who is from a family including two sets of fraternal twins, had never raced longer than 10K before her Cal International victory. She’d returned from a completion of a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship year, exploring running cultures around the globe. In her travels, Wade went through 11 pairs of running shoes as she ran 3,504 miles across 22 countries.
The fellowship was, in the grantors’ description, for “a year of independent, purposeful exploration and travel ... to enhance their capacity for resourcefulness, imagination, openness, and leadership and to foster their humane and effective participation in the world community."
Wade ran through forests with Ethiopians, and went to a party at Haile Gebrselassie’s house; she has video clips of the running legend dancing. She ran a 5K through a shopping mall in Sweden. She visited high-altitude training camps at St. Moritz in Switzerland and at Falls Creek in Australia.
Wade met up with triple Olympic gold medalist Peter Snell’s old training partners in New Zealand and did the 22-mile Waiatarua run that coach Arthur Lydiard used to put his athletes through. She ran Auckland’s Queen Street Mile, a famously downhill race, in 4:32, 14 seconds quicker than her track best. Wade’s adventures, and the intelligence and daring evident in her comments, made her story one of the most popular athlete profiles ever published on Runner’s World Newswire.
Wade will continue to be coached in Houston by Jim Bevan, who was her coach at Rice, and will continue to consult as well with the legendary Joe Vigil, who had been mentor to Bevan and Olympic marathon bronze medalist Deena Kastor.

Brett Gardner, CC Sabathia help lead Yankees to 6-4 win over Blue Jays
TORONTO — Derek Jeter can easily recall his first home opener at the old Stadium, when Andy Pettitte pitched through snow flurries and the Yankees beat the Royals – one of the early steps toward a 1996 world championship.
Most of the other openers have meshed in his memory, but one prevailing thought stands out.
“I’ve said it before, but it almost doesn’t feel like the season gets under way until you get your home opener,” Jeter said. “Especially after missing last year, I’m looking forward to this one.”
And he’s not alone.
“It’ll be a special moment in a special year for him,” Brett Gardner said Sunday, after a 6-4 victory against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre sent the Yankees home with a season-opening .500 record following an 0-2 start at Houston.
CC Sabathia (1-1) rebounded from his opening-day loss to last six innings, while Gardner’s two-run shot – the Yankees’ first home run of the year – came in a notable fourth inning.
Jeter followed with his second single of the day, his 3,320th career hit, vaulting Paul Molitor for eighth place on the all-time list.
“I grew up watching him, I played against him briefly – I have a lot of respect for him. It definitely means a lot,” said Jeter, who is retiring at season’s end. He’s now 99 hits behind Carl Yastrzemski for seventh place.
It was just another reminder of the captain’s place in history.
And today, Jeter’s glorious past will be part of the home-opening pageantry – with Pettitte and Mariano Rivera tossing out the ceremonial first pitches to Jeter and Jorge Posada.
“I think it’ll be unbelievable,” said manager Joe Girardi, part of Jeter’s first home opener as the Yankee catcher. “You think about what those guys have accomplished together in their careers — to have them all there [today] — will be really special.
“We’re all looking forward to getting home. It’s been awhile.”
Winners of three of their past four games, the Yankees (3-3) jumped to a 3-0 lead in Sunday’s first inning off Drew Hutchison (1-1), highlighted by Kelly Johnson’s two-out, two-run double.
Gardner’s two-run homer off Hutchison in the fourth followed rookie Yangervis Solarte’s RBI double, giving the Yanks a 6-1 lead and finally taking the zero out of the team’s home run column.
“I don’t think anybody would have bet on that,” Gardner said of being the one to end the club’s longest homer-less drought to start a season since the 1990 Yankees’ seven-game power outage.
After being shut out on Saturday, Jacoby Ellsbury – batting third with Carlos Beltran resting – pushed across the first Yankee run on a groundout, part of an all-around ensemble effort. Adam Warren was sharp again in relief, while Solarte enters his first home opener with a .471 batting average and a four-game hitting streak.
“It’s better than going home 0-6,” said Sabathia, who yielded a leadoff homer to Melky Cabrera – his third of the series, one in each game — but did not give up another run until Toronto’s three-run sixth inning.
The Jays had four straight hits with two out against Sabathia, including an RBI double by Dioner Navarro and a two-run single by Erik Katz.
David Robertson put the tying run at first base before registering his second save of the year. And as Cabrera’s liner to right landed in Ichiro Suzuki’s glove for the last out, Jeter officially could turn his thoughts toward home.
“This year, in particular, I’m happy to be out there playing,” Jeter said, referencing the ankle and leg issues that limited him to 17 games in 2013 and robbed him of last year’s opener. In his final season, “I want to be out there every day.”

Today we’re setting up a creative invitation that takes minutes to put together, and clean up is a snap.
As we shared in this post, the basic premise of Creative Invitations follows four simple steps:
- Clear your table of anything that won’t be used in the invitation
- Artfully arrange the materials to provoke ideas
- Limit the choice of materials to just a few items
- Provide clues about how to use the materials, but keep the project open-ended so that original ideas can flourish.
To get started, you could set up your invitation the night before as I did, or take a few moments to arrange it while your child is playing or napping. Or you could include your child in the set-up.
- Large sheet of paper
- Water container
- Paint brush
- Washable tempera paint
- Container to hold the paint
- Sharpie marker (or other non-toxic permanent marker)
Place all the materials out on the table. With a permanent marker, draw some basic shapes or looping lines on the paper.
Invite your child to paint however he or she likes. You can see that my three-year old and five-year old had completely different approaches and ideas about how to tackle the paper. I love that! The goal isn’t to create anything in particular but to encourage your child to be inventive and use the parameters of the set-up as inspiration. My three-year old’s creation on the left and my five-year old’s creation on the right: one painted inside the lines and the other right over the lines. Cool!
Leave the papers on the table to dry or move them to a drying area. Carry the brushes and water container to the sink. Voila!

For many schools, Joomla! is the preferred content management system when it comes to public-facing websites. The reason is obvious — in addition to cost-effective deployment, Joomla! offers an intuitive, easy user interface and attractive learning curves, amply padded by myriads of free training videos easily found on Youtube.com or other media-rich sites.
Every parent knows that schools process an extraordinarily large amount of documents on a daily basis. To be productive and to be able to do their job better, the school staff needs an easy and quick way to add, update, organize and distribute documents online. In addition, both teachers and administrators need to be able to quickly post notifications, maintain an up-to-date calendar of events, edit page content, and more.
Here is a quick guide describing how Joomla!, in combination with some of its most popular tried and tested extensions, can be used to build a great website that not only meets the needs of a school’s web content contributors, but also has all the must-have elements that make it an effective and reliable web-communication tool that every school needs.
- Joomla!’s latest version.
- Any school-themed Joomla! template.
- JCE Content editor – powerful and user-friendly, JCE offers instant text editing and easy image management in a MS® Word-like environment that both teachers and school administrators love.
- Docman – a document repository and downloads management system that allows you to separate registered users into groups such as parents, students, school board members, school administrators, etc., and assign different documents to these groups.
- JEvents or a calendar of your choice that has a flexible and easy to use event management interface.
- K2 - Joomla!’s award-winning content component that we will use for the website’s teachers pages.
- Joomla!works’ Simple Image Gallery plugin that will enable teachers and school administrators to quickly and easily add picture galleries to the website.
- A backup extension of your choice that provides protection for your website and helps automate website backup and restore functions.
Putting everything together:
- Set up your Joomla! site with the template of your choice.
- Install and configure your preferred backup extension.
- Add all your general content pages and menus, including relevant information about your school mission and policies, admissions, administrative offices, athletic and academic programs, etc.
- Download the latest version of JCE content editor and install, using Joomla!’s Extension manager. In Site > Global Configuration, make sure that you select JCE as your default editor. Additionally, before you start using the tool, activate the JCE plugin in Extensions > Plugin Manager.
- Set up your Events Calendar:
- Install JEvents, using Joomla!’s extension manager.
- You might also want to install some of the modules, available for this component, including the calendar and latest events modules.
- From Components > JEvents, go to JEvents’ control panel and start adding your new categories and events.
- Create an “Events” menu item for the component. Here is an example:
- Create accounts for the website’s content administrators and show them how to create pages, update content and add new events.
- Creating the teacher pages:
- Download the latest version of K2 and install, using Joomla!’s extension manager.
- Download the latest version of Joomla!works’ Simple Image Gallery plugin and install, using Joomla!’s extention manager. Make sure that the plugin has been activated.
- Go to Components > K2 to open its control panel.
- Create a category for every teacher. Create sub-categories for each class that a teacher teaches during the relevant academic year.
- Provide your teachers with training and login information.
- Teachers can use K2 to write blog-style articles and updates about what is going on in their classroom. They can also add quick links to important documents, assignments, class resources, planned events, and more. K2’s convenient commenting system can optionally be used for teacher-parent discussions.
- Teachers can additionally create pages that can be viewed by registered users only (parents or students), and can easily add picture galleries, using the Simple Image Gallery plugin by Joomla!works that integrates nicely with K2.
- Setting up the teacher categories and documents :
- Download the latest version of Docman from Joomla!tools.net and install, using Joomla!’s extension manager.
- Create a document category for every teacher. Create subcategories for each class the teacher teaches during the relevant academic year.
- Show the teachers how to upload, manage and add documents to content pages.
- Creating the teacher menus:
- In Joomla!’s Menu Manager, create a menu for each of your teachers.
- Create as many menu items as needed, including: teacher contact information, class name and documents.
- From the Module manager, publish the menus on their corresponding teacher pages.
- Staff Directory and Individual Contact Pages:
- In the administrator’s backend, go to Components > Contacts > Categories.
- Create a new category, “Staff Directory”.
- In Components > Contacts > Contacts add, one by one, all the teachers and staff. Enter their email, phone numbers, individual page url address, and other relevant information.
- Go to the main menu and create a new item, select type “Contact Category layout” and edit your preferences regarding the look and feel of your staff directory. Example:
The above quick guide should provide a good starting point for your school website, which you can augment further by adding more extensions or using Joomla!'s many useful features and capabilities. If you have any comments or questions regarding this article, please let me know and I will try to help as much as I can.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: Yes

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps that guide the reader through the process of setting up a Joomla! website, including specific tasks like installing extensions, creating categories, and managing content. The instructions are detailed enough to allow for deeper reasoning in a training context, as they explain the purpose of each extension and the reasoning behind certain configurations, which can help a language model understand the broader implications of these steps in a content management system.

Is it okay for me to kill my own backyard hens?
Having your own backyard hens is a great way of getting fresh eggs and wonderful compost for the garden. However, owning hens means you are responsible for their health and welfare. It also means that at some stage in a bird's life, you may have to decide whether euthanasia is the most humane option for a very sick or injured bird. Indeed, some people may choose to kill a backyard hen for personal consumption.
You should check your hens daily to make sure they are alert and active, have smooth feathers, and clean eyes and nostrils. Some obvious signs of possible illness include discharge from eyes or nostrils, drooping wings, discoloured wattle and comb, diarrhoea, or unusual or laboured breathing. If you think there’s something wrong with your hens then you should consult a vet or poultry expert immediately.
Regardless of the reason, you should NEVER attempt to kill a bird if you don't know how to do it humanely.
If you decide to kill your backyard hen yourself, you should first seek practical advice and training from a vet or poultry expert. You must be absolutely confident that you are able to do so quickly and without causing pain or distress to the bird.
An integral part of humane killing is ensuring the bird remains quiet and calm throughout the process. Catch the bird by placing both hands over the wings to prevent flapping, bring the hen close to your body and support her from underneath. The method of killing that is most practical for home purposes is cervical dislocation but it must be done swiftly and competently. Afterwards, always check to make sure the bird is dead. If the bird is not dead, immediate and humane euthanasia should be performed. Decapitation is not recommended as a bird may remain conscious (and therefore in pain) for up to 30 seconds.
Again, seek advice and training to ensure you can carry out the procedure quickly and confidently. If you are not competent and capable to perform the procedure, ensure you are able to readily access a vet. At all times, it is your responsibility to protect the welfare of the bird.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a sequence of steps for humanely killing a backyard hen, detailing important actions to take, such as checking the bird for signs of illness and ensuring the killing method is performed competently. However, while it outlines a process, it lacks in-depth procedural instructions necessary for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning; the instructions do not extensively explore reasoning behind each step or the ethical considerations involved.

I really have to say, this is the best guacamole I’ve ever had. So fresh and so flavorful!
One thing I’ve learned over the years of making guac is that using a mixer (instead of forks to mash the avocados) is key. For one, it is way less time-consuming. And two, it helps to get the avocados nice and creamy while still leaving some little avocado chunks for texture.
I put all of the avocados in a large mixing bowl, add the lime juice, and then I mix them all together with the hand mixer until the consistency is pretty creamy.
Once you cream together the lime juice and avocados, you can just put everything else in – the onions, cilantro, tomatoes, salsa, and seasonings and stir with a regular spoon. The mixture is so creamy that the other ingredients just fold in so well and make themselves right at home in that guac!
Note: You can use store-bought salsa, but I always use my homemade salsa to add to the guac. I just can’t resist the freshness and zestiness that it brings to the dip!
Then that guac makes its home on a chip, and then that chip makes its home in my belly!
- 6 ripe avocados (I do not use the gigantic avocados; if you use the gigantic ones, you may just want to use 4)
- Juice from 2 limes
- ¼ c red onion, finely chopped
- ¼ c cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- ¼ c fresh diced tomatoes
- ½ c salsa
- Garlic salt, to taste
- Crushed red pepper, to taste
- Peel and de-seed the avocados. Add to large mixing bowl.
- Squeeze in lime juice.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, blend the avocados and lime juice until consistency becomes creamy - about 20-30 seconds.
- Add remaining ingredients - onion, cilantro, tomatoes, salsa, and seasonings, and stir until everything's well-blended.
- Serve with tortilla chips or use as a topping for fajitas, tacos, or burgers!

Step-by-step: Yes

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps to make guacamole, detailing each action clearly from peeling the avocados to serving the final product. The instructions are structured and specific enough to promote deeper reasoning, as they encourage consideration of factors like consistency and ingredient integration, which are crucial for successfully recreating the recipe and understanding the underlying cooking techniques.

Clorets goes social media
By Admin R : It is weird how recently gum ads are flooding the streets and Tvs with hugely designed campaigns, especially that the product itself is considered mainstream, which adds to the exposure of those campaigns that could easily become cheesy and overdone.
Many gum ads are worth featuring especially the Trident outdoors, that will be reviewed in an upcoming post, focusing currently on the unexpected TV commercials for “Clorets” : Socialize!
Well, Clorets did make its way to the mass by its brilliant social media concept for it’s new TV commercial, that still deals with that “eternal gum USP : “the fresh breath” but with a new approach driving people to socialize; The very well art directed commercial features teenagers stuck in their facebook/twitter yet social killer medium, afraid to face the world with a dreadful breath.
When you first watch it, you get attracted by the visual approach, yet you still wonder about the product until you reach the final scene, the revealer, which tells everything, and breaks the rhythm (mainly breaks the creative flow) and ends as most of the gum ads do. kudos to the copywriting and the execution, besides everything has already been done anyway, right?!

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through completing a task. Instead, it offers a critique of gum advertisements, specifically focusing on Clorets' commercial, without breaking down the process or instructions needed for any actionable guidance. Additionally, the lack of structured procedural instructions means it would not effectively serve as training material for a language model focused on deeper reasoning, as the content is more descriptive than instructive.

I’m proud to announce that my new novella, “The Man Who Ran from God,” will launch June 22 in the Amazon Kindle store.
As we approach the launch date, I will be sharing more details about the novella. I’ll post the book cover art, selections from the piece itself and selections from earlier drafts. But today, I just want to share the basics. I will answer these in FAQ style.
When will the novella be released?
Where will it launch?
Only on the Amazon Kindle store. I wanted to take advantage of their free giveaways via their KDP program. After 3 months on Kindle, I’ll reassess.
How much will it cost?
99 cents in U.S. dollars, like the rest of my works.
Will there be any giveaways?
Yes. I’m planning a BIG giveaway for the first weekend, June 22 and 23.
What is it about?
It is a retelling, in historical fiction style, of the story of Jonah from the Bible. My teaser for the book sums it up:
In a dream, the voice of God commands Jonah to go to Nineveh. Instead, he books passage to the other end of the world. A storm and a hungry whale are the least of his worries as Jonah has to confront deluded fishermen, befuddled peasants and crooked priests. At the end of it all, Jonah must face the hardest decision of his life: stand and preach to the fervently pagan crowds in Nineveh’s main square or flee back to his home in Judea.
Is this a religious work? The result of some sort of religious experience?
No. My attempt here was not to write a religious work, but an accurate piece of historical fiction. I didn’t want to write something that aligned with any organized religion, but that sought to unravel the historical Jonah from the figure presented in the Bible.
What inspired you to write this?
I had been toying with the idea of writing something about Jonah for a long time. The Old Testament prophets are intriguing to me because they are revered in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Jewish Joseph, Moses and Abraham somehow remain unifying figures despite the differences between these faiths and all three are mentioned in both the Christian New Testament and the Muslim Koran.
But for me, there was always something special about the “minor” prophet Jonah. The whale segment of the story is famously known and, not surprisingly, surfaces in American literature in Moby Dick where one old whaler doubts the story. I wanted to learn more about the source of the story and one day read the Biblical account. When I did, I realized that the whale is actually a small part of the story. The real driving question is whether Jonah will do God’s will or not.
Jonah is very cantankerous. When God asks him to go to Nineveh, he heads for Tarshish at the opposite end of the Mediterranean. And Jonah’s always getting angry (the word “angry” is used at least twice in the Biblical story). The best instance is in the Biblical account at Jonah 4:9.
But God said to Jonah, ‘Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?’
‘It is,’ he said. ‘And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.’
I loved that.
After I finished the story, I realized that most people had no idea who Jonah was and that the real story was quite different from the one I had been told as a kid. I started playing with the idea of writing something. I read the Book of Kings (where Jonah also appears) for background. And then I saw a video on YouTube and it all came together.
Eminem goes through a rough patch.
That was it. To me, Eminem was a sort of modern day Jonah (wow, did I just write that?). He was talking about the same thing Jonah talked about, but using a vernacular he understood. At some point, Jonah (like Eminem) came to a realization that he needed to change, he reached a point where the right thing to do became clear. He just had to have the guts to do it, to follow his inner voice. And Jonah, just like Eminem, was angry…pissed off at an unjust world.
After I saw that video, I sat down and just started writing. Eventually, it became a novella of 20,000 words.
Can I get an advance copy of the novella for review on my blog?
Yes. If you have a blog where you regularly review books, I will review your site and if I feel we are a fit, I will gladly send along a copy of the manuscript (in Word format) for review. See “Contact” above for my email.
In a continuing sub-series, I’m mentioning each time viewers from a new country visit the blog. This week, the blog had its first visitors from:
– The Bahamas.
Welcome to the blog, Everyone!

It’s okay if you didn’t expect Peter Malnati to win the Sanderson Farms Championship this weekend in Jackson, Miss. All that matters it that he expected it.
The latest PGA Tour winner actually wrote about it earlier this week in a blog post on his site petermalnati.blogspot.com. Malnati outlined goals for the 2015-2016 season on a “plan board,” detailing what he thought would lead to success.
He wrote, “My game is starting to click, and I’m ready to play. I’m going to be happy and composed on the course, and if things go my way, I’m ready to have a great week.” Yes, the PGA Tour is littered with optimism each week, but his list of goals seems prophetic now after he won the event at 18-under, outlasting William McGirt and David Toms by one stroke.
Malnati reached all his “performance goals” but one, coming up short in driving accuracy by hitting just 33 of 56 fairways (58.9 percent). The 28-year-old made up for a somewhat lackluster driving performance with his iron play and putting, reaching 83 percent of greens in regulation (check) and holing 58.3 percent of his putts from 10 to 15 feet (check). From 100-125 yards, he was reaching those greens with proximity of 17’3” (check). He also led the field in average distance of putts made, sinking nearly 124 feet of putts each round.
All in all, it was a week defined by a 67.5 scoring average—one more check. A two-putt from 48 feet sealed the victory. As for “Federer-like composure at all times,” does this qualify?

Pádraig Harrington, Miguel Angel Jiménez and José María Olazábal have today been named by European Captain Paul McGinley as the men who will complete his vice captaincy line-up for The 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles from September 26-28, writes the European Tour.
It means McGinley will have five vice captains by his side for the contest against the United States, the trio joining Harrington’s fellow Irishman Des Smyth and Scotland’s Sam Torrance – who were announced in March – in the backroom staff line-up.
As well as all being current players on The European Tour and therefore well known to all 12 players on the European team, which was confirmed at Wentworth Club yesterday afternoon, Harrington, Jiménez and Olazábal will also bring vast Ryder Cup experience to Scotland.
Between them the trio have played in 17 Ryder Cups; Olazábal leading the way with seven appearances between 1987 and 2006, followed by Harrington with six between 1999 and 2010 and Jiménez with four in the same time period.
Olazábal, of course, was the last European captain and guided his charges to the thrilling final day victory at Medinah two years ago. Before that, he was vice captain to Sir Nick Faldo in 2008 and Colin Montgomerie in 2010, while Jiménez was vice captain to Seve Ballesteros in 1997 and Olazábal himself in 2012. For Harrington, it will be a first taste of the vice captaincy role.
“I am delighted to name Padraig, Miguel and José María as the men to join Des and Sam in completing my vice captaincy team for Gleneagles. They will all bring valuable insight and experience to the players and the team room,” said McGinley.
“I know it’s been common in the past to have three or four vice captains but I’ve gone for five because I feel an extra person is justified due to the additional workload which comes from being the home team, in addition to how well I saw such a system working when we ended up having five vice captains under Colin Montgomerie at Celtic Manor in 2010.
“I spoke about the reasons behind choosing Des and Sam in March but the reasons behind having Padraig, Miguel and José María on side are equally compelling.
“Padraig is my oldest friend on Tour and is a guy I have known most of my life. We went to school together, came through the amateur ranks together and have been together in many contests for both Ireland and Europe over the years, so I know what he can bring to the team room.
“As well as being a three time Major Champion, Padraig is also still very active on Tour, obviously in Europe where all the players know him well, but also in the United States where he is familiar both with the Tour itself and its players.
“As far as Miguel is concerned, he is someone that the spectators love as well as being very popular with all the players. However he is also a person that I respect very much. I have sat beside him for over a decade on the Tournament Players’ Committee and have seen him exhibit an integrity on many occasions that is very admirable.
“Miguel’s appointment also maintains the continuity I was looking for when I named him captain of the European team for the inaugural EurAsia Cup match in March. He did very well in Malaysia that week and all the players in that team enjoyed working with him. It will be the same at Gleneagles.
“Finally, José María’s passion for The Ryder Cup is recognised the world over. It was obvious in his legendary partnership with Seve and was also so very apparent two years ago at Medinah, so I’m delighted he has accepted my invitation to be involved again, once more maintaining that important continuity.
“Like Miguel, he brings a wonderful Continental European flavour to the team room and is liked by everyone. He will also bring vital knowledge and experience of every element associated with The Ryder Cup, both on and off the course, which can only be helpful to the European cause.
“With these five guys in place, I have now completed both the playing and back room teams for Gleneagles. I have complete confidence and trust in all five of my vice captains and the help they will give me in the difficult quest of trying to retain The Ryder Cup.”
Harrington said: “I am really looking forward to being part of The Ryder Cup from a different angle to the playing side. That aspect of things is something that really interests me and I’m therefore delighted that Paul has given me the opportunity.
“Paul is a good friend of mine and I think he’s done a great job in the captaincy thus far, therefore I don’t necessarily think he needs that much help. But he knows I’m happy to get involved behind the scenes to give him and the players as much assistance as I can.
“Even though we are friends, it is good to see that Paul trusts my opinion. We have had many healthy debates over the years on Tour about a wide range of subjects, so in some ways this validates all those discussions!”
Jiménez said: “When Paul called inviting me to be one of his vice captains at Gleneagles, I immediately said yes. I am really excited to be involved with the European team once again and I’m honoured that Paul has asked me.
“I thoroughly enjoyed being captain of Europe at the EurAsia Cup in Kuala Lumpur in March which was a great opportunity for me and I am looking forward to bringing the experience I gained there to the team room at Gleneagles. I have a great relationship with all the players, having played alongside them regularly over the years.
“It is going to be an amazing week at Gleneagles. We have a great team and as a vice captain I will give the players and Paul my total support and hope that we can retain The Ryder Cup once again.”
Olazábal said: “I was absolutely delighted when Paul approached me and asked me to be a vice captain – I consider it a real privilege and honour to be part of the European Team going to Gleneagles.
“Everyone knows how much The Ryder Cup has meant in my career and it’s an occasion that I love being part of. It is a unique and special event – and I know that will be the case once again in Scotland in three weeks’ time.
“I think we have a very good team in place but as Paul said yesterday, we are under no illusions about how formidable a test the United States team will present. But he knows I will do everything I possibly can to help him and the players throughout the week.”
