John Proctor sits down to dinner with his wife, Elizabeth. Mary Warren, their servant, has gone to the witch trials, defying Elizabeth’s order that she remain in the house. Fourteen people are now in jail. If these accused witches do not confess, they will be hanged. Whoever Abigail and her troop name as they go into hysterics is arrested for bewitching the girls.
Proctor can barely believe the craze, and he tells Elizabeth that Abigail had sworn her dancing had nothing to do with witchcraft. Elizabeth wants him to testify that the accusations are a sham. He says that he cannot prove his allegation because Abigail told him this information while they were alone in a room. Elizabeth loses all faith in her husband upon hearing that he and Abigail were alone together. Proctor demands that she stop judging him. He says that he feels as though his home is a courtroom, but Elizabeth responds that the real court is in his own heart.
When Mary Warren returns home, she gives Elizabeth a doll that she sewed in court, saying that it is a gift. She reports that thirty-nine people now stand accused. John and Mary argue over whether Mary can continue attending the trials. He threatens to whip her, and Mary declares that she saved Elizabeth’s life that day. Elizabeth’s name was apparently mentioned in the accusations (Mary will not name the accuser), but Mary spoke out in Elizabeth’s defense. Proctor instructs Mary to go to bed, but she demands that he stop ordering her around. Elizabeth, meanwhile, is convinced that it was Abigail who accused her of witchcraft, in order to take her place in John’s bed.
Hale visits the Proctors because he wants to speak with everyone whose name has been mentioned in connection with witchcraft. He has just visited Rebecca Nurse. Hale proceeds to ask questions about the Christian character of the Proctor home. He notes that the Proctors have not often attended church and that their youngest son is not yet baptized. Proctor explains that he does not like Parris’s particular theology. Hale asks them to recite the Ten Commandments. Proctor obliges but forgets the commandment prohibiting adultery.
At Elizabeth’s urging, Proctor informs Hale that Abigail told him that the children’s sickness had nothing to do with witchcraft. Taken aback, Hale replies that many have already confessed. Proctor points out that they would have been hanged without a confession. Giles and Francis rush into Proctor’s home, crying that their wives have been arrested. Rebecca is charged with the supernatural murders of Mrs. Putnam’s babies. A man bought a pig from Martha Corey and it died not long afterward; he wanted his money back, but she refused, saying that he did not know how to care for a pig. Every pig he purchased thereafter died, and he accused her of bewitching him so that he would be incapable of keeping one alive.
Ezekiel Cheever and Herrick, the town marshal, arrive with a warrant for Elizabeth’s arrest. Hale is surprised because, last he heard, Elizabeth was not charged with anything. Cheever asks if Elizabeth owns any dolls, and Elizabeth replies that she has not owned dolls since she was a girl. Cheever spies the doll Mary Warren gave her. He finds a needle inside it. Cheever relates that Abigail had a fit at dinner in Parris’s house that evening. Parris found a needle in her abdomen, and Abigail accused Elizabeth of witchcraft. Elizabeth brings Mary downstairs. Mary informs the inquisitors that she made the doll while in court and stuck the needle in it herself.
As Elizabeth is led away, Proctor loses his temper and rips the warrant. He asks Hale why the accuser is always considered innocent. Hale appears less and less certain of the accusations of witchcraft. Proctor tells Mary that she has to testify in court that she made the doll and put the needle in it. Mary declares that Abigail will kill her if she does and that Abigail would only charge him with lechery. Proctor is shocked that Abigail told Mary about the affair, but he demands that she testify anyway. Mary cries hysterically that she cannot.
Abigail and her troop have achieved an extremely unusual level of power and authority for young, unmarried girls in a Puritan community. They can destroy the lives of others with a mere accusation, and even the wealthy and influential are not safe. Mary Warren is so full of her newfound power that she feels able to defy Proctor’s assumption of authority over her. She invokes her own power as an official of the court, a power that Proctor cannot easily deny.
Proctor’s sense of guilt begins to eat away at him. He knows that he can bring down Abigail and end her reign of terror, but he fears for his good name if his hidden sin of adultery is revealed. The pressing knowledge of his own guilt makes him feel judged, but Elizabeth is correct when she points out that the judge who pursues him so mercilessly is himself. Proctor has a great loathing for hypocrisy, and, here, he judges his own hypocrisy no less harshly than that of others.
Proctor’s intense dilemma over whether to expose his own sin to bring down Abigail is complicated by Hale’s decision to visit everyone whose name is even remotely associated with the accusations of witchcraft. Hale wants to determine the character of each accused individual by measuring it against Christian standards. His invasion of the home space in the name of God reveals the essential nature of the trials—namely, to root out hidden sins and expose them. Any small deviation from doctrine is reason for suspicion. Proctor tries to prove the upright character of his home by reciting the Ten Commandments. In forgetting to name adultery, however, just as he “forgot” it during his affair with Abigail, he not only exposes the deficiency of his Christian morality but also suggests the possibility that his entire household has succumbed to the evil influence of the devil and witchcraft.
When Proctor asks indignantly why the accusers are always automatically innocent, he comments upon the essential attractiveness of taking the side of the accusers. Many of the accusations have come through the ritual confession of guilt—one confesses guilt and then proves one’s “innocence” by accusing others. The accusing side enjoys a privileged position of moral virtue from this standpoint. Proctor laments the lack of hard evidence, but, of course (as Danforth will later point out), in supernatural crimes, the standards of evidence are not as hard and fast. The only “proof” is the word of the alleged victims of witchcraft. Thus, to deny these victims’ charges is almost a denial of the existence of witchcraft itself—quite a heretical claim. Therefore, those who take the side of the accusers can enjoy the self-justifying mission of doing God’s will in rooting out the devil’s work, while those who challenge them are threatening the very foundations of Salem society.
Hale, meanwhile, is undergoing an internal crisis. He clearly enjoyed being called to Salem because it made him feel like an expert. His pleasure in the trials comes from his privileged position of authority with respect to defining the guilty and the innocent. However, his surprise at hearing of Rebecca’s arrest and the warrant for Elizabeth’s arrest reveals that Hale is no longer in control of the proceedings. Power has passed into the hands of others, and as the craze spreads, Hale begins to doubt its essential justice.

U.S. air sorties over Iraq hit record 1,000 in a dayCompiled from Times wires
© St. Petersburg Times
published March 9, 2003
WASHINGTON -- The commander of U.S. air forces in the Persian Gulf said Saturday that several months of intensified U.S. airstrikes had hit all known fixed air defenses in southern Iraq. But he added that mobile antiaircraft guns and missiles remained a threat to U.S. pilots.
"We've killed what we know is there," Air Force Lt. Gen. T. Michael "Buzz" Moseley said. "But they have a lot of depth in mobile systems that they can continue to roll into the south. The mobile systems are the ones I worry about the most."
The arrival of hundreds of additional Air Force and Navy carrier-based aircraft in the region in the past two months has enabled the United States to more than double the number of sorties over southern Iraq. This in turn has led to wider and more frequent coverage of the southern "no-fly" zone, Moseley said.
In Tampa, the military's Central Command said that its aircraft struck Iraqi positions early Saturday morning in the desert about 230 miles west of Baghdad, a remote area near the Jordanian border. The strike, like an attack in the same region the day before, was aimed at a mobile radar system used to track aircraft and to aim antiaircraft missiles.
More than 400 U.S. planes are now operating from about 30 locations in the gulf and elsewhere, according to other officials. In the past month, U.S. pilots have struck from seven to 14 targets in Iraq a week.
As commander of the 9th Air Force and the air component commander for the U.S. Central Command, Moseley would direct the air campaign in a war against Iraq. His remarks in a telephone interview were intended to portray the intensification of U.S. airstrikes against Iraq as still essentially an enforcement action prompted by a rise in Iraqi attacks in violation of U.N. resolutions.
But the increasingly aggressive U.S. targeting in the southern and northern no-fly zones established a decade ago, which are not recognized by Iraq or the U.N., has been widely seen as reflecting an American plan for the systematic destruction of Iraqi air defenses and, more recently, surface-to-surface missiles in a fashion that will ease the way for an invasion. The surge in sorties, which now number in the hundreds daily, and reached a record 1,000 one day last week, has transformed what was once a limited patrolling operation into a broader, more intense prelude to possible full scale war.

The ‘Inside Dish’ on Grand Rapids Civic Theatre’s performance of Legally Blonde: The Musical
BY: BRIAN VANOCHTEN
PHOTOGRAPHY: IAN ANDERSON
GRAND RAPIDS – The spotlight will shine brightest on 19-year-old Breighanna Minnema when the curtain goes up later this month for Grand Rapids Civic Theatre‘s performance of “Legally Blonde: The Musical.” Her infectious smile, bubbling personality and, of course, stunning head-to-toe pink outfit are all sure to have the audience buzzing each night throughout its run May 31 through June 16.
It’ll all change when her four-legged co-stars make their bold entrances.
Minnema, who plays Elle Woods in the lead role, fully understands the audience is going to forget all about her whenever Cszar the Chihuahua or Jake the Great Dane commands the spotlight on stage.
“I’m just excited to see the audience’s reaction when we get on stage. The dogs are show stealers,” Minnema said. “You can sing as well as you want and dance as well as you want, but as soon as the dogs come out on that stage, they steal the show. Having a chance to create a relationship with the dogs, I love that.”
It is part of a special collaboration with the Humane Society of West Michigan.
The opening night of “Legally Blonde: The Musical” on Friday, May 31, at the Civic Theatre, 30 N. Division Ave., is designed to help place abandoned dogs, cats and other small critters in forever homes. The theatre lobby will serve as the hub of the Human Society’s adopt-a-pet program for a night.
The adoption fees will be reduced to $50 per dog, name your price for a kitten or cat, and theatre patrons can pick out their new pets and are able to pick them up Saturday, June 1, after enjoying the show.
The Humane Society of West Michigan handled 1,700 pet adoptions last year.
“It is a wonderful show and what the dogs bring to the show is wonderful,” said Theatre Director Bruce Tinker, who also is directing “Legally Blonde: The Musical” and looking forward to the interaction between Minnema and the dogs. “Our family has four animals from this shelter – two cats and two dogs. I know how important that is. It doesn’t matter what they look like, a dog will come into your home and love you.
“It’s what the story in the musical is all about: You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
The story of Elle Woods persevering to overcome her bombshell blonde stereotype – from the shopping mall to graduating at the top of her class at Harvard law School, has been well chronicled on film and the Broadway stage. It’s a character Minnema can’t wait to unleash – with some help from her furry friends.
“Who doesn’t want to wear pink from head to toe? Elle Woods is a role model for me,” Minnema, 19, of East Grand Rapids, said. “She always believes in herself. She becomes valedictorian at the end of the movie.
“It’s really just a story of never losing faith in yourself.”
Her canine co-stars couldn’t be more different in terms of size or character.
Cszar, who has been cast as Bruiser, is a diminutive 2-year-old with endless energy. His owner, Dante Alighire, responded to an ad placed on Craigslist for an unwanted pet and never expected to find himself a star.
“I got him on Craigslist. I’ve had him since he was 10 weeks old. He was in a milk crate,” Alighire said. “He likes to ride on my shoulders wherever we go. He has great balance. He just started doing that one day. He hasn’t stopped.”
Initially, there were problems filling the Bruiser role.
“We were looking to cast the role of Bruiser and we were having a really hard time finding a Chihuahua,” said Nancy Brozek, director of development and community relations for Civic Theatre. “One day, I look out the window and I see this man walking down Monroe Mall with a Chihuahua on his shoulders. I turned to Bruce and said, ‘What should I do?’ He said, ‘Go get him.’ The rest is history.”
Jake, who has been cast as Rufus, is a black stallion who belongs to stage manager Chris Carnevale. The dog is the size of a small horse. The pet’s manner is so mild, he’s no match for the uber-social Cszar.
Originally, the role of Rufus was supposed to be played by a bulldog.
“We had three bulldogs lined up, but, one-by-one, they all dropped out,” Carnevale said. “So, the director turns to me one day and says, ‘We’re using your dog.’ So, that’s how Jake ended up getting cast in it.”
Tinker thinks the contrast between Bruiser and Rufus should be a huge hit.
It should provide unexpected challenges, however, since both Cszar and Jake, who’re just beginning to feel comfortable with Minnema and other cast members, will be making their live debuts on stage.
“The thing with working with animals is they have to feel safe in their environment,” Tinker explained. “Every animal is a little different. Everything can be new to them every night. New people. New smells. The script is written so they’ll both be on leashes. The good news is that Rufus and Bruiser never have to share the stage.
“It’s part of the show and we all love animals.”
Minnema, a graduate of Grand Rapids Christian High School, is no stranger to man’s best friend. She has two dogs at home, a golden retriever that’s hers and German Shepherd that belongs to her parents.
“I’m a big-dog girl,” she said with a laugh.
The prospect of sharing the stage with both Cszar and Jake just makes her smile. She is as comfortable controlling a dog on a leash as slipping into her pink costume and slipping into character as Elle Woods.
“It helps,” she said of being a lifelong dog lover. “My senior year in high school, I was in ‘Annie,’ so it’s not my first time working with dogs. I’m really looking forward to being up there with them both.”
To adopt a pet, contact the Humane Society of West Michigan, 3077 Wilson Dr. NW, at (616) 453-8900 or www.hswestmi.org. The facility is open 2-7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Once again an impoverished Texas neighborhood, in this case in the town of Port Arthur, has become the disposal point for hazardous waste, only this time the waste is potentially so lethal that a drop the size of a pinhead can kill.
A chemical-weapons facility in Indiana is destroying obsolete weapons containing VX nerve agent, producing caustic wastewater that the Army is shipping to Veolia Environmental Services for incineration. The Army has claimed the waste is no more dangerous than kitchen cleaners. But when environmental scientists began looking at the disposal process, they found scary scenarios. The “neutralized” waste still contains some VX, and the incinerators might not destroy all of it. There are no monitors on the incinerator smokestacks to sound the alert if it isn’t eliminated. And VX components in the water could reconstitute in shipping tanks under certain conditions, endangering lives along the transportation route.
Several environmental groups, including Texas Sierra Club, the Chemical Weapons Working Group, Community In-Power Development Association of Port Arthur, and individuals in Indiana and Port Arthur are trying to stop the shipments. They filed a notice of intent to sue, and the Army volunteered to halt shipping until the issue was heard in court in mid-July. Despite the admission by an Army representative under oath that VX nerve agent is present in the wastewater, a federal judge in Indiana ruled in August that the shipments to Port Arthur could continue. Environmentalists plan to appeal the decision.
Meanwhile, the groups gathered in Austin on August 23 to urge that regulators halt the shipments administratively. A spokesperson told the Associated Press later in the day that state regulators had assured Gov. Rick Perry the incineration isn’t “endangering public health or the environment.” Nonetheless, after reading about the waste shipments in the media, the EPA’s Environmental Justice Division has started to look into the matter.
The court case is the latest chapter in the long and tortured saga of the Army’s attempts to shed large quantities of extraordinarily dangerous chemical weapons, many of which became obsolete almost as soon as they were produced.
The Army has been trying to dispose of VX for decades by various means in various locations. Some was incinerated on remote Johnston Island in the Pacific, where the army documented the unintentional release of nerve agents after incomplete burning. The U.S. signed the international Chemical Weapons Convention in 1997, bringing a new timetable and sense of urgency to VX disposal. Most recently, the Army tried to ship the processed waste, known as hydrolysate, to Ohio, and then New Jersey. In Ohio, citizen groups opposed the shipments. In New Jersey, the Army insisted the waste was safe enough to be dumped into rivers-until a study by the EPA revealed the waste could harm aquatic life. After public uproars, both states rejected the disposal plans. Citing “lessons learned” in a candid admission by an Army spokesman that a new approach to disposal was needed, the Army tried a new tack: stealth.
In spite of existing law requiring notification and input from affected communities, the Army decided to forgo public notice this time. Informing few besides the mayor of Port Arthur, who didn’t tell his constituents, the Army inked a contract with Veolia Environmental Services for $49 million and began trucking VX residue through eight states to Port Arthur. Veolia is a unit of Paris-based conglomerate Veolia Environnement SA.
It wasn’t long before community activists and environmental groups in Indiana and Texas sniffed out the gambit. Whistleblowers inside the Army’s Newport Chemical Agent Disposal Facility alerted the Chemical Weapons Working Group that the waste was on the move.
“This was the most covert, underhanded approach to disposal in the history of the disposal program,” says Craig Williams, executive director of the group, which has tracked chemical weapons and their disposal for about 20 years.
Hilton Kelley, an activist and executive director of the in-power association in Port Arthur, says, “Port Arthur is surrounded by chemical plants and is one of the poorest and most polluted communities in America. This VX waste is yet another threat to the people here who have to live with this every day.”
West Port Arthur wears a brilliant necklace at night, but there is nothing glamorous about it. Glaring, unremitting illumination from tank farms, gushing smokestacks, and bizarre, malignant-looking containment vessels from 72 chemical plants and refineries virtually surround the town. With a few exceptions, such as one bank and City Hall, downtown Port Arthur is an urban wasteland. Rows of slattern, abandoned storefronts slowly are disintegrating. At midday during the week, there are few cars and almost no pedestrians. Out in the neighborhoods, sagging houses gape open to expose weeds growing inside. Anybody with the means has fled the pollution, grime, and mind-numbing ugliness for “ABH,” anyplace but here.
The whites who stayed have mostly abandoned the west end of town, leaving it to blacks and Hispanics who are among the poorest in the state. Port Arthur consistently places among the top 10 most-polluted areas in the country. Politicians and activists often speak of environmental justice, which in Port Arthur means the tendency of heavy and especially polluting industries to locate in poor neighborhoods, as an abstract social problem. But here is the stark face of it-a dirty, derelict community with an air of disease and morbidity.
A 2003 survey by researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston found that people in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area had more disease, particularly respiratory; ear, nose, and throat; and skin conditions, than people in the Galveston area. Anecdotes abound among Port Arthur residents about friends and relatives who died early because of cancer or respiratory disease.
Kelley, 47, says several of his classmates either have cancer or died young.
“When they told me that Veolia does not have a monitor for VX on its stack or any community ambient air monitors, I just could not believe it,” he says. “How could they not have them? It’s disgusting to know that all across America, when you mention Port Arthur, Texas, that it’s considered the toxic dump site of North America. It’s disgusting to know people are turning their backs on little children and old people and letting them stew in toxic waste.”
Outraged by the secretive deal cut by Port Arthur Mayor Oscar Ortiz, Kelley accused him of being “willing to sacrifice people’s health, especially poor black people’s health, for the property taxes these companies are paying.”
Ortiz, who had not read the details of the environmentalist lawsuit at the time, told the Observer, “It’s just wastewater, pure and simple. Hilton Kelley is a clown and a loser just trying to get attention for himself, and Sierra Club is a bunch of environmental wackos.”
The argument over whether the waste is dangerous has its roots in rival interpretations of testing done to detect VX in the end product of the neutralization process. Sodium hydrochloride is added to the VX, and the mix is agitated for several hours. The result is a caustic solution supposedly free of VX. After the revelation that nerve-agent waste was being incinerated near Port Arthur, Veolia attempted to soothe local nerves by taking Jefferson County commissioners, a Beaumont reporter, and others to the disposal facility in Indiana, where they watched waste being tested for VX. None was found. Hence, said the Army and Veolia, no problem.
“Its just wastewater,” says Dan Duncan, health, safety, and environmental manager at the Veolia incinerator.
Yet a recent study of the new testing method used to detect VX was found to be unreliable. The 2007 study, by the Army’s own Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center, recommended discontinuing its use. Maybe it’s not just wastewater.
The study did not surprise Michael Sommer, an environmental chemist, former University of Chicago professor, and consultant in forensic environmental chemistry.
“The problem is with the analysis,” Sommer says. “This isn’t just a homogenous liquid. It has a solid layer and an organic layer. They only test in the inorganic phase. VX can re-form in the organic phase. Think of, say, olive oil and water. The oil floats on the top. When you stick a probe into the middle, you aren’t finding everything that’s in there. In my opinion they the Army don’t use acceptable testing methods. Plus, they are only testing for two chemicals, VX and another almost as toxic, EA 2192. The neutralization process results in many chemicals that are extremely toxic. I don’t think they even know what all is in it.”
In spite of unknowns about the composition of the waste, the Army and Veolia have repeatedly said no VX could re-form after neutralization.
Not so, says Sommer.
“The question is no longer whether there is VX in the waste. It is how dangerous is it, and most importantly, could the VX potentially re-form in its storage tanks? The troubling fact is that VX can re-form under certain circumstances, such as lowered pH, and that’s not just my opinion. The National Research Council has studied the problem and noted the potential for re-formation, but the Army has not adequately researched this scenario. We just know what the Army has told us, and that isn’t much. But we do know that a change from very high pH to a lower or neutral pH creates the possibility of recombination to re-form VX at significant concentrations.”
Another flash point for critics of VX incineration is the lack of VX monitors on the smokestack of the incinerator, or ambient air monitors in the community.
“We don’t need them,” says Veolia’s Duncan. “We don’t do continuous monitoring of individual hazardous wastes. We monitor the emission of things like carbon monoxide and dioxide, and that tells us how well the incinerator is working. Monitoring for VX would be a waste of money.”
Of all the objections made about the VX waste incineration, the monitoring issue has been perhaps the most contentious and emotional.
Neil Carman, a former air pollution expert with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, now works for the Sierra Club. In a court document, he calls the absence of VX monitors “unconscionable” and “especially egregious.”
Carman knows his hazardous-waste incinerators. As an inspector for the state of Texas, he has reported on them, studied them, and climbed all over them, including the type of rotary kilns used at Veolia.
“Veolia could be putting out VX into the atmosphere and not even know, or maybe even want to know it. These incinerators are not 100 percent efficient. They are more like cheap pay toilets,” Carmen says. “Trace concentrations of a broad array of chemicals are frequently detected during periodic incinerator stack tests. In fact, even under permitted, normal operating conditions, Veolia is putting out a significant, harmful amount of emissions.”
Veolia’s incinerator reports more kinds of toxic emissions than refineries, chemical plants, and other industrial facilities report in most years. In 2002, for example, EPA reports show that Veolia released 17,828 pounds of stack and fugitive emissions into the air. The stuff that incinerators put out is mind-bogglingly bad. And that tally doesn’t include smog-producing emissions reported to TCEQ under a separate monitoring system.
“This is a very messy business and a very messy company, and that is just routine operations,” Carman says. Mechanical breakdowns or “upsets” that are common problems with incinerators, he says, release even more toxics into Port Arthur’s atmosphere.
Veolia’s compliance records at TCEQ reveal an extensive list of violations. Since 2002, when the company was known as Onyx Environmental Services, Veolia has been served 67 violation notices and assessed with $57,920 in fines. The company actually paid $24,128 after negotiating the fines down.
Other Veolia incineration plants around the country have had serious problems with mechanical breakdowns and unpermitted releases of pollution.
“It’s ironic and tragic that all this concern over the danger from this stuff is not even necessary,” says Williams of the Chemical Weapons Working Group. “There’s a better way to get rid of it. It’s called supercritical water oxidation. It’s a secondary treatment for the waste that reduces the leftover VX to the vanishing point. The problem is that it will cost them more, and they don’t want to spend the money. I guess they just would rather put people at risk, especially those poor folks in Port Arthur.”

My personal clothing fetishes include high end lingerie, latex, leather, designer high heels and stiletto boots.
The Calendar portion of My website lists what city I'll be in on any particular day if I'm accepting sessions on that date.
I recommend two hours for new clients.
I NEVER accept same day sessions.
The more advance notice you can give Me for a session request, the higher the likelihood that it will work out. I am available for sessions from 2pm-11pm. Please be aware that I will book sessions at My own convenience depending on My schedule. I have many different interests and projects that keep My schedule quite full.

Last week, we wrote about the stunning Romanesco now in season at the Hollywood Farmers' Market. Though eye-catching in a different way, the gnarled and hairy – some might even say ugly – celery root is another fall/winter vegetable that's just as worth bringing home.
Celery root (also known as celeriac) may not be pretty, but it is tasty and versatile. When buying, choose roots that are firm and heavy for their size. Small roots are more tender than large ones, which can be fibrous. To store, cut off any green stems and keep the roots in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a week. (The stems can be eaten, but bear in mind they are stronger than regular celery.) A pound of celery root will yield about two cups once peeled and sliced.
Soup is one of the most common ways to prepare celery root. Here are some recipes from The Kitchn archives:
• Celery Root Bisque
• Celery Root Soup with Top Shelf Beet Relish
• Spiced Celery Root Soup with Bacon and Honey
And here are a few other scrumptious-looking celery root recipes, from salad to gratin:
• Celery Root and Apple Slaw
• Celery Root, Potato, and Leek Home Fries
• Celery Root Purée
• Lemon Braised Celery Root with Parmesan Quinoa
• Truffled Chanterelle, Celery Root and Potato Gratin

Access National Corporation (NASDAQ: ANCX), parent company for Access National Bank, reported record third quarter net income of $4.1 million, a $1.0 million increase over the $3.1 million recorded in the third quarter of 2011. This represents the company’s 5 th consecutive quarterly earnings in excess of $3 million and its 49 th consecutive quarterly profit over its 12¾ year history. Net income per diluted common share was $0.40, an increase of 33.3% over the $0.30 reported in the third quarter of 2011.
Based on record earnings, strong capital and favorable outlook, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share for holders of record as of November 07, 2012 and payable on November 23, 2012. This dividend represents a 2 cent increase from the prior quarter and a 7 cent cumulative increase over the past 2 years.
Net income increased 42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaling $11.5 million compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2011. Net interest margin remained steady at 3.95% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 3.85% for the same period in 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $1.11 compared to $0.78 in 2011.
Annualized return on average assets was 1.98% for the third quarter of 2012 compared to 1.69% for the same quarter of 2011. Annualized return on average equity was 17.93% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 15.92% for the same period last year.Total assets amounted to $849.3 million compared to $809.8 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in assets is mainly attributable to an increase in both loans held for investment and investment securities, and was funded by a significant increase in core deposits. Total deposits at September 30, 2012 increased $60.8 million or 9.42% from December 31, 2011. As a result of management’s continued focus on expanding business banking relationships, noninterest bearing deposits increased $78.9 million or 69.31% from December 31, 2011 and comprised 27.32% of the deposit portfolio, up from 17.66% at December 31, 2011. The overall increase in deposits allowed the Company to decrease its borrowings which, coupled with other factors, contributed to the increase in net interest margin.

According to LIMRA international research released in 2006, the chief deterrent to buying a life insurance policy was cost. Even among the affluent, the research found that a third of affluent households felt they needed more life insurance. (Another interesting finding--when the affluent do purchase life insurance, they tend to do so not through insurance agents but through financial planners.)
The Hartford announced an "updated" version of its Hartford Advanced Last Survivor Universal Life policy in October that offers 20% lower rates for purchasers over age 65. The policy insures two people. It also offers no-lapse death benefit protection, as well as both an Estate Protection Rider (paying an additional death benefit if both insureds die within four years of the policy issue date) and an optional Estate Tax Repeal Rider, which allows policyholders to surrender coverage without paying charges if the federal estate tax is repealed in 2011. The Estate Protection Rider's charges stop after the fourth year; there is no charge for the Estate Tax Repeal Rider.
The policy also offers three different death benefit options. One offers return of premium; the second provides return of account value; and the third is level.
According to LIMRA, last-survivor policy sales are rising in popularity as more people work on estate planning. Sales rose by 13% in the second quarter of 2007 and were up 7% for the first six months of the year.

Kevin Spacey’s characters aren't typically in want of a cuddle, but the actor displayed his more affectionate side on Saturday, tweeting a photo of himself with his adorable new dog (and nose-nibbler), Boston.
Spacey named the pup in honor of the city, which he visited last week to spend time with patients injured in the bombing at the Boston marathon and officers at a local police station, according to The Boston Herald.
This isn't the first time Spacey has goofed off for the public in recent weeks. While jogging in Boston he "photobombed" a woman in front of the George Washington statue.

EUID Password Resets are on the Horizon
By Dr. Philip Baczewski, Director of Academic Computing and User Services
Since it's been about 120 days since new password standards went into effect, you may find that you can't log into services which use your EUID and enterprise password. If this happens, the first site to visit is the EUID account management page, http://ams.unt.edu. Not only will this page tell you if your password is expired, it will also allow you to reset it if it is.
One element of the new password security standards put into place last fall is that passwords expire after 120 days. This may seem like an arbitrary rule, however, with such a large population of IDs as is found at UNT, it's necessary to ensure that unattended or unused accounts are not indefinitely accessible or prone to unwanted intrusion. Password expiration is currently the only practical way to ensure that this is the case.
Since you may have to reset your password soon, here are a few tips to help you. You don't have to reset your whole password. You can change one or two characters so that you'll have a different value, but can still remember it. If you get stuck trying to find a strong password in AMS, use the "Strengthen" button to get suggestions. You may not like the suggestions, but you may get some ideas to help you come up with your own strong password. And, don't forget the answer to your secret question. The secret question is there to make sure that whoever set the original password is the one trying to reset it. Without the answer, you will need assistance from the helpdesk to check your identity and clear your secret question.
Forewarned is Forearmed
EUID Password expiration may take you by surprise. Once you reach your password expiration date, you have six grace login attempts before the password is totally disabled. Not all applications can sense the expired password condition. The my.unt.edu portal will tell you when your password is expired. The Account Management page will also tell you if your password is expired. You can regularly check on your password expiration date by logging into the Account Management System page. It's a goal to extend password expiration warnings to as many applications as possible.
Hopefully, resetting your password will become easier each time you need to do so. If not, however, you can always call on the CITC helpdesk for assistance. You can contact the helpdesk at 940-565-2324 (extension 2324 on the Denton campuses).

BOSTON, March 5 (UPI) -- A private group in Boston has begun organizing an effort to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to the city, it said.
The Boston Olympic Exploratory Committee hopes to win the endorsement of Mayor Thomas M. Merino of its cause, and committee chairman Eric Reddy said conversations Monday with public officials were promising.
Two weeks ago the U.S. Olympic Committee solicited bids from 35 cities, including Boston, to find an American candidate for the games, and the positive report from the Monday meetings suggests the city may give the idea serious consideration, The Boston Globe reported Tuesday.
Reddy said his group seeks "a green light to pursue this for, say, five months, and see how far we get." He stressed the group was "trying to be quiet about this," choosing not to over-promote an effort in its early stages.
The U.S. Olympic Committee, in its letter, noted the 2024 host city must be prepared with a reliable transit system and accommodations for 16,500 athletes and 15,000 media members, as well as 45,000 hotel rooms.
The newspaper pointed out Greater Boston has only 30,000 hotel rooms and a cash-strapped subway system with some cars more than 40 years old.
Jets unclear on Tebow's future
NEW YORK, March 5 (UPI) -- New York Jets' general manager John Idzik was vague about backup quarterback Tim Tebow's future during a teleconference with season-ticket holders.
Speaking in generalities, Idzik told a caller, "Tim, as you know, (is) currently on our roster and what we're trying to do is increase competition at that position. ... We're going to see who we're able to bring on board and let it play out."
Idzik either emphasized Tebow's safety in being on the roster, or pointed out everyone is fighting for a job on the team, USA Today noted Tuesday, adding Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy and possibly veteran David Garrard will join Tebow as prospective quarterbacks when the Jets begin training camp in July.
Lombardi to be Browns' general manager
CLEVELAND, March 5 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Browns promoted Michael Lombardi to general manager and announced Ray Farmer will be assistant general manager, the team said Tuesday.
Lombardi was named the Browns' vice president-player personnel in January.
Tom Heckert was fired as general manager Dec. 31, the same day Cleveland fired Coach Pat Shurmur. Rob Chudzinski was hired as coach Jan. 10.
Lombardi, no relation to NFL coaching legend Vince Lombardi, has been an executive for five other NFL teams before joining the Browns. Most recently he was senior personnel executive from 1998 to 2007 for the Oakland Raiders.
The Browns said Tuesday Farmer's duties include helping Lombardi manage the professional and college scouting departments. Farmer was the director of pro personnel for the Kansas City Chiefs (2006-12).
4 Heisman Trophy winners on hall ballot
NEW YORK, March 5 (UPI) -- Heisman Trophy winners Eric Crouch, Ron Dayne, Vinny Testaverde and Danny Wuerffel are among the 77 players on the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame.
In addition to the more than six dozen players, five coaches are on this year's ballot. The coaches include Bill McCartney, who coached Colorado from 1982-94, helping the Buffaloes to three Big Eight championships.
Other coaches are Jim Carlen, who coached at West Virginia, Texas Tech and South Carolina 1966-81; Wayne Hardin, who coached at Navy and Temple 1959-82; Jack Murphy, who coached Memphis 1958-71; and Darryl Rogers, who coached at five schools, including Michigan State and Arizona State, 1965-84.
Testaverde played for Miami (Fla.) and won the Heisman Trophy in 1986 and Wuerffel won while at Florida in 1996. Dayne won the award at Wisconsin in 1999 and Crouch, from Nebraska, was the 2001 winner.
Other notable players on the ballot are Eric Dickerson, who became a record-setting NFL running back and Kirk Gibson, who had a 16-season major-league baseball career and is the current manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The 2013 induction class is to be announced May 7. Induction ceremonies are scheduled for Dec. 10 in New York.


The first thing to grasp about Romney’s surrender to Obama’s Administrative DREAMnesty:
- It envisages an upcoming Amnesty.
Romney told The Denver Post
“The people who have received the special visa that the president has put in place, which is a two-year visa, should expect that the visa would continue to be valid. I`m not going to take something that they`ve purchased,” Romney said. “Before those visas have expired we will have the full immigration reform plan that I`ve proposed.
…Romney said in a sit-down interview with The Post aboard his campaign bus ahead of a Denver rally that he would work with Congress in the first year to pass permanent immigration reform legislation. [Emphasis added]
Mitt Romney would honor Obama administration`s illegal immigrant work permits by Allison Sherry October 2, 2012
But secondly, and even worse:
- Romney has acquiesced in what amounted to a Coup d’état –
Obama’s short-circuiting of the legislative process was called by Senator Sessions “a direct threat to the rule of law.” This coup is so egregious that Senate candidate Ted Cruz (like Sessions a lawyer) has declared that the policy should be reversed and deportations commenced.
The correct response to Obama’s action – regardless of the merits of the policy itself—would have been to defend the Constitution. If need be by Impeachment. American love their Constitution and Romney would have been a hero.
As it is, he appears–like a politician.
Why? Surely this businessman cannot be so innumerate to take the Hispanic vote myth seriously. Does he really think that having repelled the Paul vote and Blue collar women by his belligerence and the social conservative vote by his arrogant blunder over Chick-fil-A, he can afford dishearten immigration patriots too?
A cluelessly unimaginative member of the “Extreme Center”…genuinely uncomfortable dealing with ideas outside the narrow scope of core conventional wisdom (as defined, of course, by the media lefties, academic log-rollers, and corporate PR flacks).
Either way Romney’s fitness to be President is in question.

Dental Elective Internship Program in Palampur
Volunteering India offers a unique opportunity for dental students to take part in dental internship placement in Palampur/ Dharamsala and gain valuable experience by working along with professional dentists. The Dental Elective project is available for Dental students who are looking to gain valuable international exposure by doing an international internship. While doing a dental elective internship in India is a great addition to the CV of the students, it also helps them gain valuable experience and learn about the differences in the medical system between different countries.
Our program is also suitable for dental students groups travelling together. We arrange special dental checkup camps wherein interns can work.Camps generally are conducted for students of local schools and in nearby villages. This is intended to be a fun, interactive way to increase their oral hygiene habits and raise awareness of certain common dental problems such as gum diseases and cavities.
The amount of “hands on” involvement while interning will depend upon the intern’s experience, comfort level, skills and knowledge level, the consent of both the attending dentist as well as the patient being treated.
Only dental students are eligible to take part in the Dental Elective / Internship program. All Dental Interns need to provide a copy of their CV/ Resume as well as a proof of their enrollment in Dental School. Interns can also bring mouth masks, gloves as well as lab coat/ scrubs with them. You can also bring dental hygiene education materials which can be helpful for giving lessons on oral hygiene in nearby schools.
Dental Intern Tasks
The responsibilities of the intern vary according to the qualifications, knowledge , skill and comfort level .The interns get to shadow and observe different dental treatments by working in dental clinic and hospital placements.Senior dental students also get an opportunity to perform tasks such as scaling, extractions and filings depending on their skill levels, experience as well as the consent of the patients.

Booth/Webber Traffic Changes
PLEASE NOTE: The city installed signs and street striping over the summer, police officers will begin enforcing the parking changes this school year. These changes are the result of many meetings, lots of though and discussion on alternatives, and should provide better traffic flow as well as much improved safety for the children. Summary of changes that will happen:
- Stopping for loading/unloading is only allowed on the school-side of Booth and Webber. NO STOPPING OR PARKING is allowed on the playground side of Booth, or the residential side of Webber.... at any time.
- Signs are posted along the south side of Booth, and the East side of Webber to indicate 'no parking'.
- a double-yellow stripe was added between traffic lanes, and a shoulder stripe on the school side to clearly identify 'stop and drop/pickup' areas on the school-side of the streets.
- Parents wanting to Park and leave their vehicles are required to use either the Auxiliary Lot at Webber/Buena Vista, the Church Lot, or residential streets where permitted.
We are hopeful that people will change their routes voluntarily, and make the short detour up to Buena Vista if need be rather than entering from Don Gaspar. It would really help if we could ALL treat Booth as a one-way from East (Webber) to West (Don Gaspar)...

INDEPENDENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Emergency crews in southeastern Kansas have recovered the body of a woman whose truck hydroplaned into a flooded creek during a night of heavy rain.
Montgomery County Sheriff Robert Dierks says the body was found Monday morning about a quarter-mile from where her truck turned up in the creek beneath a bridge on a rural county road. The woman's name was being withheld while relatives were notified.
The sheriff says the woman called a relative around 10 p.m. Sunday saying her truck had washed off the road into high water while she was driving between Independence and Coffeyville. A night-long search began immediately, but Dierks says the floodwaters and heavy rain kept crews from spotting the truck.


COMETS COACH REMAINS PERFECT IN WNBA
By Lina Balciunas
Wearing the suit instead of the uniform, Cynthia Cooper understands more and more each day. She understands that as head coach of the Phoenix Mercury, she can only influence the game so much and ultimately it is the players who determine victory or defeat. Her stature, her will, her desire can't go beyond the sidelines. It is only now that she beginning to understand the accomplishments of her former team and the tremendous success of her former coach, Van Chancellor.
Despite the short history of the WNBA, Chancellor already ranks among the most successful coaches in any professional sport. In the four years of the league's existence, Chancellor has guided the Houston Comets to four WNBA championships. And Monday, he will take the helm of his third All-Star team in as many years as the game has been played.
The only "blemish" on Chancellor's record seems to be in the Coach of the Year category, which he won the first three years before they gave it to the Sparks' Michael Cooper last season. It was no big deal for Chancellor, whose Comets ripped through the Sparks in the Western Conference Finals with a two-game sweep.
"He's a players' coach," Cooper said. "He kind of allows you to showcase your talents and doesn't bog you down with a lot of different offenses. He pretty much lets you have your freedom within his offense."
"Being a college coach and entering the WNBA, sometimes coaches are set in their systems and their ways and how they coach the game," Thompson said. "I think that when you then move on to professional basketball you definitely have to be a lot more open to the personalities and characteristics of your team.
"If you focus on their individual abilities and bring it all together to make the team itself, I think that you can get positive things out of it. I think that's something that Coach Chancellor has done or tried to do -- to not necessarily make his players fit into his system, but he created a system from his players."
Chancellor came to the WNBA in 1997 after 19 years as head coach at Mississippi, where he led the Lady Rebels to 14 NCAA Tournament appearances. He left as the 16th all-time winningest women's college basketball coach. It was a leap of faith to jump from the security of such a successful program to the uncertainty of a start-up league, but one for which Chancellor didn't even bother closing his eyes.
"I'm the kind of guy who likes new challenges and this was a tremendous challenge," Chancellor said. "But I believed in it from day one. I could not believe that the commissioner of the NBA and 29 powerful owners were going to allow anything to fail that they put their stamp on. I came in with a tremendous amount of excitement and never looked back. I never dreamed we'd do anything but succeed."
By "we," Chancellor is referring to the WNBA, not necessarily the Comets. He was as surprised as anyone at the team's success in the inaugural season, especially since Swoopes -- Houston's marquee player -- couldn't play because of her pregnancy.
"I was just trying to survive as a coach," Chancellor remembered. "Getting us to become the best team we could be. We didn't start out trying to -- although we wanted to -- win a championship; we were just trying to get in the playoffs. Then all of a sudden we woke up in August and we were right there."
Chancellor certainly wasn't prepared for the emergence of Cooper as the WNBA's most dominant player. She won league MVP honors the first two seasons and is the only championship MVP the WNBA has known. Of course, she was a successful player before the Comets, with two NCAA championships and an Olympic gold medal, but she knows Chancellor helped make her WNBA reputation as much as she's helped make his.
"More than anything, I had the confidence that he believed in my talents and he believed in me," Cooper said. "That allowed me to perform better."
After the Comets defended their title in 1998, they were faced with a challenge bigger than any opponent on the court. Kim Perrot, their starting point guard, was diagnosed with lung cancer in January of 1999 and died on Aug. 19, just as the team was preparing for playoffs. It was a situation that rocked the entire Houston franchise and Chancellor found himself outside the X's and O's having to be a steadying presence for his emotionally-shaken Comets.
But true to his nature, Chancellor doesn't talk about his role, only the way his team responded.
"To go back-to-back is really difficult and to three-peat I thought was unbelievable," Chancellor said. "And to go through (Perrot's illness), our team showed so much character. To this day, we still miss Kim Perrot -- her wonderful personality, leadership, everything.
"What we had to do then was always remember what a wonderful person she was. One of the good things that it did was we got to realize at that time that basketball is not the ultimate -- to have a friend and to enjoy life was also an important lesson. It was special that we won the championship in memory of a wonderful person."
The Comets then went on to win their fourth straight championship in 2000 amid what could have been the distraction of Cooper's impending retirement. The adjustment was originally lessened by the fact that Houston would still have two of its "Big Three" in All-Star MVP Thompson and league MVP Swoopes.
But in a portent of things to come, Chancellor had his playbook stolen -- along with his rental car -- when he attended the NCAA Tournament in San Antonio to see Mississippi's men play. Turns out it didn't matter. The strategy, geared towards Swoopes, changed with a snap of her ACL in April. Her 2001 season ended before it began, forcing Chancellor back to the drawing board.
Instead of rebuilding, the Comets have seen continued success. Thompson easily stepped into a starring role and the team has a chemistry that Thompson believes is unmatched by the previous Houston squads with more star power. Again, Chancellor refuses to take credit.
"We came together really well because we have great leadership in Tina Thompson, Janeth Arcain, Coquese Washington and Tammy Jackson," he said. "This has been a terrific adjustment. We have got a really young team and at times we have struggled because we've got to learn what we're doing. We're in a learning process every day."
But arguably it's Chancellor's system that helps new stars step up in place of the injured or departed.
"I think it's the fact that we have opportunity to grow as individuals within our team and within his system," Thompson said. "I've learned a lot in that I've continued to grow in my versatility and I've had the opportunity to do a lot of things that I probably would not have done on another team that had an extreme structure. So for that, I think that my growth process in the WNBA has been pretty rapid."
Of course, nothing lasts forever. One of these days, the Comets will be forced to relinquish their title and Chancellor will no longer retain his perfect streak. He couldn't be less concerned.
"My feeling is I've got to take it one day at a time," Chancellor said. "I don't worry about that stuff. When it passes, it will pass. Fame is an awfully fleeting thing. I just want to enjoy coaching my team."
In Orlando on Monday, Chancellor will enjoy coaching his third All-Star team before returning to the Comets' pursuit of an unprecedented fifth championship. It's just one more shining moment for a man who has spent his entire coaching career basking in the sun.

By popular demand we have brought back our Vital Wolves fan interviews!
We will dive back into our archives to find our old entries, but in the mean time if you would like to do one for the site, feel free to get in touch! Over on the Vital Wolves forum.
Next up danjsharp.
Question 1: What is your username on Vital Wolves?
Question 2: How long have you supported Wolves?
Since my first memories of football
Question 3: How did you become a Wolves fan?
It was forced upon me from birth, my family are all Wolves fans so I never really had a choice!
Question 4: Where do you travel from to see the wolves play?
When I was younger I was a season ticket holder both home and away whilst I still lived in Wolverhampton, but 3 years ago I moved to Bangor in Wales for university so had to give up the season ticket. Now I go when I can get back, which isn't as much as I would like.
Question 5: Do you have a pre match ritual or lucky Wolves charm and what is it?
I used to wear my home or away shirt depending on whether we were playing at home or away, but that was when I attended pretty much every match, but I seem to have lost that as I've been away.
Question 6: Which stand do you sit in at Molineux?
I've always been in the Southbank, now I sit where I can get an available ticket!
Question 7: What is your favourite Wolves chant?
I'd like to be known for helping start the Ebanks-blake (KC and the sunshine band) chant back at Sc*nthorpe away in 07/08 season, got the whole stand singing it and then it got transferred to Molineux, so its my claim to fame lol
Question 8: Are you pro or anti Mick McCarthy?
Pro, I think he's the best thing that's happened to Wolves in the past 30 years.
Question 9: What was your assessment of last season?
I was pleased, was half and hour away from not being, but that's football! Got more points than 09/10 so if we can get a few more this season then all will be good.
Question 10: Looking back what did you think when Mick changed the whole side against Man Utd was it a good decision or not?
Good decision in retrospect, but I know as a former away season ticket holder that if I was one of the fans that had spent £50 to go to watch Wolves play Man U and we didn't put out our best team then I would have been pretty annoyed at the time, but I understand that it was done for the good of the season.
Question 11: Do you think Wolverhampton can establish themselves in the Premier League and once again, become a great club?
Yes, as long as we continue to improve gradually each season and not achieve too much too soon. We've seen what happens to clubs that come up and go straight to the top, they end up in League 1!
Question 12: Predictions for Wolves this season, where do we still need to strengthen?
Still think the defence needs improving, even though I'm a great fan of Wardinho and Big George I think we do need a new left back as much as it pains me to say it.
Question 13: Where do you think Wolves will finish this season?
I don't mind as long as its above 17th with more than 40 points.
Question 14: Where do you see Wolves in the next 5 to 10 years?
As long as we can gradually improve each season then who knows, hopefully established mid-table, with a Carling or FA cup under our belt and a trip around europe, in the europa league. But my prediction on the grander scale is that we'll be champions by 2030!
Question 15: How do you see Sylvain Ebanks-Blake figuring into the team this season, if at all?
As a sub or a injury replacement, he's a great player and would love to see him force his way into reckoning, but it's always gonna be Doyler and Fletcher up front as first choice.
Question 16: If you could pick one highlight as a Wolves fan what would it be?
Too many, but if I had to pick one, it would be the promotion against QPR, running onto the pitch was amazing, I've wanted to do it for as long as I could remember and to finally get the chance was great.
Question 17: What is the worst Wolves match you have ever seen and why?
Again too many lol, but as wasn't born in the 80s I haven't seen Wolves at our worse, we've always been in at least the top two divisions, so I feel picky, but for match experience was Swansea away in the promotion season, we lost 3-1 but apart from that it was pissing it down, we were late for the game so had to run to the stadium, i fell over into a puddle and got soaking wet, then eventually reached the ground to see Wolves go 1 down in the first minute, then got rained on all match, got locked in a cage after the game to let the home fans disperse, then when we were released from the cage we were chased by Swansea fans, and then had to make the 4 hour drive back in soaking wet clothes, uncomfortable and unhappy, to only end up getting dropped off in Birmingham and had to get a train back from Birmingham.
ll this just to be a wolves fan!
Question 18: Has your support for Wolverhampton Wanderers ever wavered?
No, I can't say that it has, but I've never seen Wolves at our worse.
Question 19: Who is your all time favourite Wolves player?
Gotta be Steve Bull, he's also a good friend of my mum so to have my hero know me on a personal level makes it even better.
Question 20: If money and status was no object, who would you most like to see in a Wolves shirt?
After watching the Spanish SuperCup this week it has to be Messi, he's gotta be (when he's on form) on of the greatest players ever.
Question 21: What Wolves player from history would you want in next seasons team?
Question 22: If you could attend any game in Wolves history, which would it be and why?
Probably one of the old European games form the 50's such as the game against Honved, when the English media claimed Wolves to be the best team in the world. Would love to be a glory hunter for a day lol
Question 23: What is your favourite bit of Wolves trivia?
I had an extension when I was 9 put onto my house, and the head builder knew I was a Wolves fan so he brought round one of the players that lived with him whilst he was a youth team player, he turned out to be Matt Murray. So without knowing who he was at the time I got to play football with a future wolves legend.
Question 24: What is your question for the next interviewee on Vital Wolves?
Where's the furthest Wolves away game you've been to see?
In answer to Supersparkes question: where is the weirdest place you have watched a Wolves game on the tele?
As I've only not been a season ticket holder for the past 2 seasons, I have never been anywhere weird to watch wolves play, but I have been to some odd grounds!
This site is ready to become one of the top Wolves sites around and we want you to be a part of that!

Figuring out figure -- angel step
Angel Stairs or Angel Step is a figure pattern found in lumber cut from trees that have twisted trunks, and is common in maples and walnuts. The figure on the board is characterized by short, delicate curls progressing up the board on a tangent, starting and ending out of nowhere, a spiritual spiral staircase. (See image #1.) The figure goes around the log; to achieve the picture on the face of the board, the log should be flat sawn.
No one is really sure why some trees grow spirally while most grow straight. I have often seen this figure in western big leaf maple, often in conjunction with burl and quilt. The figure pattern is indicated on the shell of a log by a series of short rolls of compression. (See image #2.)

DETROIT (WXYZ) - Renisha McBride sister Jasmine McBride and her father, Walter Simmons, spoke before Theodore Wafer was sentenced to at least 17 years in prison for murdering the young woman last year.
McBride's father also read a statement from Renisha's youngest sister, who, he said, could not attend the hearing because the case had affected her so much.
Jasmine McBride, who spoke first, described her sister as her best friend.
"When I needed someone to talk to, she was always there to listen," McBride said. "When I cried, she was always there to comfort me."
She went on to say that "losing my sister was one of the most devastating times in my life."
"I was taught to apologize when I made a mistake, or an accident," Jasmine McBride told the court. "Never once have I heard Mister Wafer send his condolences or apologize to my family for taking my loved one."
She then asked Judge Hathaway to sentence Wafer to the maximum sentence.
Renisha McBride's father, Walter Simmons, then addressed the court. He said Wafer has "ruined my family life."
"There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about my daughter," he said. "I'll never have the opportunity to see her grow up, be a woman, have kids."
Simmons then read a statement from his youngest daughter, Lindsey. He said she wanted to speak to the court, but had had two panic attacks in the last week.
"You broke my heart, because now I have no sister to talk to or be with anymore," the statement read. "We were quite close, so, yeah, you ruined that. My sister was innocent and did not deserve what you have done to her."
You can see their entire statements in the video player above.
