"Flesh and Bone" is the story of Arlis Sweeny (Dennis Quaid), a Texan who struggles to overcome some past demons, namely him watching his father wipe out most of a family when he is younger. Years later, Arliss, who doesn't seem to be doing too much with his life, runs into Kay Davies (Meg Ryan). Kay doesn't have too much going for her as well, but as there is some kind of chemistry going on between them, Kay shows Arliss a picture of her family. Not a big deal, right? Well, it just so happens that this family is the same family that Arlis' father killed. Arlis starts to have apprehension around Kay because of this. Naturally, Arlis' father Roy (James Caan) returns. Arlis hates his father for all the right reasons and the past basically, and now it's time for the truth to come out and for everyone to come to terms with their own respective pasts while facing up to what the future may bring.
Steve Kloves is a filmmaker I do respect, and while he's more known for his screenwriting efforts, his second directorial outing here (and his only recent one) is very good. But before I go into his directing, I'll talk about the writing here. Kloves also wrote the film, and while it may seem standard to some, I found many elements of his plot and screenplay to be strikingly original. His characters here are very firm and well developed throughout. We get the drifting and loning sense of Arlis, and who he is and why for that matter. Roy is just one mean bastard with his own problems while Kay has some identity struggles looking for escapes, trying to find out who she may be. Still, I must admit I am a sucker for movies dealing with old wounds opening right back up, especially when the key players must confront the past and start to realize what their fate in the future might be. Characters here are catalysts of one another, and that works very well here. There are some very good confrontations within the film as well as build up. The Texas backdrop is pretty wondrous and fits perfectly with the story. The dialogue is very strong too, though I must admit it's somewhat clichéd since each character is different and has a certain role to play within the film. But there is a cohesive sense throughout as the past reawakens and the characters meet up again. There are some pretty intense moments here.
Kloves' directing is excellent and his style got me more into the film. He has some really excellent shots here that are rather poetic, not to mention beautifully haunting. The pacing of the story and his flow throughout worked well for me. He touches up the film with some great wideshots of landscapes and conveys various symbolisms throughout. There is a lot of emptiness to be found inside the characters, as there is that whole sense of guilt and escape, people feeling alone and feel that they are going nowhere. There are many parallels to Kloves' story as far as linking the characters to their jobs and the setting. This movie can be explored on a lot of levels, and I think that's what makes it so good. It's about guilt. It's about the past. It's about fate and destiny. And it's about all of these elements coming together with high emotions as we must take grip and face are inner fears. Through the visuals and writing, there is amazing stuff that struck cores within me and stayed with me long after I finished watching the film. Not many films do that to me. Arguably, a lot of the elements have been done before... but it's really how Kloves crafts this story and his characters which makes it feel rather fresh. For the past and knowing who we are do make important elements of life, and isolating ourselves from our troubles tend to make things worse usually. It seperates us from reality and other people. The film, through its events, is about us overcoming that.
The ensemble in the film is wonderful. Dennis Quaid churns out one of his best performances ever. He's the perfect fit for Arliss. Quiad emotionally connects with him and does wonders for the characters. I don't know if it's because Quaid had his own problems with drug abuse and all, but he captures the mysteriousness that is Arliss; the sadness and trauma that is him and always haunts him. Quaid grabs hold of the character and through his facial expressions, his emotions and mannerisms, comes to really make this movie and represent what it is. As Arlis meets Kay and opens up, and as his father returns, he becomes more and more intense, as he has to face and live up to it all. He shares great chemistry with then wife, Meg Ryan, who plays Kay. Ryan breaks out of her usual leading romantic role, puts on an accent and bares her soul, complete with that Texas accent. Kay is someone who is lost and lonely, pretty much like Arlis. And yes, their meeting brings a whole chain of events, but her different type of role here works quite well. She's tremendous. There's an innocent quality to her, but yes, she hides things too yet somehow is very open to things. The character is interesting, because Kay is depressing, yet somehow still upbeat. This is also one of Ryan's best roles, in my opinion. On the other side, in one of her first bigger roles, Gwyneth Paltrow steps up with this certain nastiness and strong sensibilties. It's a strong sign of what was to come for her. She's pretty stunning in her role, and shows how versatile she is as an actress. Finally, there's James Caan. Wow. He's used to playing all sorts of messed up bad guys, and he's great here. His Texan drawl, his commanding evil and overtone, and all that evil deep inside him, Caan as Roy is very entertaining to watch. His strict presence and him playing off the other actors works pretty beautifully. I felt some fear inside every time he popped up on screen. He's a strong villain because he's so real and Caan takes charge of his past and flaws. He's a bad brute, and there's so much to the character and the performance in which Caan brings. On another note, Thomas Newman's score is great too. It's sad and like the film, has haunting qualities to it.
"Flesh and Bone" is a really underrated drama that features a strong story, great directing and great actors to bring it all to life. While it's not for everyone and is slightly flawed, it's incredibly compelling and has little bits that we can all relate to. The film wasn't a success at all and seems to have spun into movie oblivion, but if you discover this gem on the shelf, be sure to check it out if you love drama and a strong cast of characters. It's a solid and powerful film.
"Flesh and Bone" features a pretty spiffy 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. It's slightly grainy, and has a few blemishes and pieces of dirt on the print, but those never get distracting. The real beauty of this transfer is how sharp and strong it looks throughout. Fleshtones are flawless and colors are bright and very well saturated. There is great depth to the image, as much of it pops right out at you. Detail is impeccable, especially in those shots of the Texas scenery which are strong but have this inentional bleak look to them. Those shots of buildings, of the open road and more are pretty cool if you ask me, and the hues on those shots are spot on. There's also some slight noise on the transfer here and there, but it's not that noticable. Overall, solid work here.
There's not much to say about the 5.1 Dolby Digital English track. The mix is pretty predictable and straight forward. The movie is dialogue heavy, and while the dialogue is crisp and clear, there are some action packed surrounds throughout such as the opening with the gunshots and the snow globe breaking, the bar scene where Arlis meets Kay and another scene with a gun, among others. When guns are fired, it sounds great. They're loud and are mixed as if the shots were coming at you. Thomas' Newman score brings a nice atmosphere to the mix and envelopes nicely. Fidelity is pretty high and there is an overall good ambiance to the track. Also included are English subtitles, English closed captions and an English Dolby Surround track.
Sadly, nothing. I would have liked a commentary from Kloves. There are twelve chapter stops though... and there is a lot of time in between each one.
"Flesh and Bone" is a great character drama about the pain the past can bring, isolation, escape and coming to terms with everything. The DVD has a good presentation, but sadly, has no extras to speak of. This is an underrated movie if you ask me, and if you see it at your video store, be sure to rent it and check it out. It may be a bit lengthy and long for some, maybe boring, but if you like good cinema, you'll keep wanting to know what happens and love the intrigue surrounding the characters. But if you're a fan of the film, it's worth adding to your collection for sure.

So much work to be done before Lincoln's second-tallest building is towering over Q Street like a spike in the city's skyline.
Scrape away the old Applebee's. Get the wind tunnel results from Denver and the engineering specs from the Atlanta high-rise pros.
Build down first, by sinking 150 concrete pilings more than 90 feet into the earth.
Then build up, by pouring concrete floor after concrete floor and concrete floor — 20 in all — until Lied Place Residences has risen 250 feet, its highest floor-to-ceiling windows offering an unobstructed view of Memorial Stadium, and beyond.
Then, more work: Find a first-floor restaurant, fill the next three floors with offices and build out the 40 high-end condos, where the prices will climb with the elevation.
And during all of this, marry this $32 million building to the Que Place Garage, which will cradle the high-rise's lower floors on three sides, without damaging the parking ramp.
"It will definitely be our tallest building," said Chad Wiles, vice president of Hausmann Construction, which will break ground this spring. "And anytime you're building next to a structure like that, you have to do a lot of planning up front."
But some of that planning was done a quarter-century ago.
The sliver above Applebee's
To find that forethought, look at the walls inside the parking garage's stairwells.
Now look more closely. On every landing, the smooth concrete yields to a doorway-sized section of concrete blocks.
They were built to be easily punched out, to provide parking access to an eventual neighbor. When the city built the Que Place Garage in the early 1990s, it envisioned another building slipped in against its north side, something attractive to face the Lied Center for Performing Arts, which had just gone up across Q Street.
"A multi-story building was always intended," said Tam Allan, who's developing the planned high-rise. "The Lied Center stakeholders didn't want to be facing a slab of parking garage."
Instead, they would get a low-slung chain restaurant.
Initially, three developers submitted plans for the site, and the city chose a project pitched by the Downtown Lincoln Association Foundation — a seven-story building with retail on the first floor and apartment and condos above.
But in late 1994, the foundation pulled the plug — too much money for the nonprofit to spend — and the site remained unused, until Applebee's opened six years later.
Allan would see that restaurant when he was leaving the Lied Center, and he'd see all of the missed potential in the empty air above it.
"I kept noticing the sliver above the Applebee's. Not many people noticed it over the years," he said. "There's tremendous frontage. And the view, my gosh. You're looking at Memorial Stadium. You can see Hawks Field. You can see Pinnacle (Bank Arena)."
The restaurant closed in 2013. A year later, Allan and a partner bought the slim piece of property for $1.2 million.
It's a narrow footprint for a big building — only about 5,300 square feet — but it came with built-in parking, something critical to a downtown development.
They started developing a plan that would change the skyline, but they weren't alone.
Other projects grounded
In 2016, and with great fanfare, the mayor unveiled plans for Block 54, a 15- to 17-story project at Ninth and O streets that included two hotels, up to 50 condos, a restaurant, ballroom and parking garage.
Its developers leveled the three existing buildings —including Knickerbockers and Recycled Sounds — and then, nothing happened. The corner remains empty, the $72 million plan dead, though developers hope to propose a smaller project.
And in 2017, a New York company announced another grand plan, this one a block away at Ninth and P. The $92 million City Centre would replace the Journal Star building with a nine-story structure, hundreds of apartments, a rooftop pool, offices and retail space. But the developer has since told the city it's facing significant difficulties, and the chances of the project moving forward are remote.
In each case, the developers had entered into redevelopment agreements with the city to receive tax-funded incentives.
But two key problems can surface after those agreements are signed and before construction begins, said David Landis, director of the city's Urban Development Department.
The first: Significant cost increases, like the price of steel and other building materials. The second: Failing to line up all the financing, because lenders can have requirements developers can't meet.
The 20-story Lied Place appears to have avoided those problems. By the time its developers met with the city to try to secure $5 million in tax incentives, they had their financing in place, and they had a firm grasp of the overall cost.
"So they had a good strategy, through diligence and preplanning, to satisfy both those difficulties that the developers have to overcome," Landis said.
The developers had done their homework. "We've had a limited number of surprises along the way that seem to set back other projects," Allan said. "Everything has gone pretty much the way we had anticipated it. That has been good."
And before they went public with their plans, Lied Place's developers had already booked buyers for nearly half of its condos.
Condo buyers commit
They found their future tenants through word of mouth, Allan said. No marketing. No sales pitches.
Almost all the buyers are from Lincoln. And more than half plan to live at Lied Place year-round.
That sets it apart from a newer condo collection down the street in the West Haymarket. Hobson Place opened at Canopy and Q in 2014 and sold out its 32 high-end condos, which range in value from $440,000 to $780,000. But only two owners list Hobson Place as their permanent residence, according to county property records. Most live in other Nebraska towns and other states, including Colorado and Arizona.
Lied Place's developers have fielded interest from university staff and faculty, who like the proximity to campus. And they're selling condos to others already living downtown but wanting an upgrade.
Lower-level units will be the least-expensive, at about $375 per square foot, so a 1,000-square-foot, one-bedroom unit will sell for just less than $400,000.
But the price goes up as you go higher, Allan said, and most of the units above the 10th floor — after it clears the parking garage, and the condos offer both north and south views — are already committed.
More than a half-dozen buyers bought two apiece, either side-by-side or on consecutive floors, so they can combine the condos and double their space.
"We didn't necessarily anticipate that," he said. "But we're delighted."
Lied Place will sell the second, third and fourth floors as office space, and it's searching for a restaurant to fill the first floor.
Allan and his partners will take their time to find the right operator, willing to offer low rent to help the business succeed.
"We will, in effect, be subsidizing it," he said. "We're going to be very careful to make sure the restaurant is a good match for the building."
It won't be Applebee's, or any other national chain.
'A long-term building'
This will be new ground — and new sky — for builders in Lincoln.
Nothing this tall has been built in nearly 90 years, when the Capitol reached 400 feet. The U.S. Bank Building, which went up in 1969, stopped at 220 feet.
So the developers of the 20-story, 250-foot Lied Place hired a high-rise firm in Atlanta to help with the engineering.
"We said, 'We're just trying to be really, really careful,'" Allan said. "They laughed. They said, 'We build 80-story buildings.'"
Still, they want to be careful. They paid a Denver firm $60,000 to analyze a miniature mock-up of Lied Place and much of downtown Lincoln in a wind tunnel, so engineers can design it to shoulder wind loads of more than 125 mph.
"You try to model as exact as possible," said Wiles of Hausmann Construction. "When you have different angles of wind that travel through existing buildings, it will hit our building in a certain way."
The building will move in the wind, but builders want to limit how quickly it sways, not necessarily how far.
"It's the acceleration, not the distance," Wiles said. "When you're up on the top floor, you don't want to feel like you're being shaken back and forth."
The project will present other challenges. The small area will make for a crowded workplace. And they must be careful not to undermine the foundation of the 25-year-old parking garage.
But construction should begin in April, once Applebee's disappears, and end in early 2021. They'll sink 150 pilings into a rock layer 90 feet below — pouring concrete into a drill bit with a hollow shaft in the center.
Then they'll start building, pouring a concrete level, and then another. They'll thread each floor with steel tendons in plastic sheets, and tighten those to stiffen the building.
That's a different approach than most recent construction, Allan said. Think about the new Railyard-area buildings to the west, the student housing to the south. Masonry bases, steel construction above. It's cost-effective, but it limits the height.
"There has not been a building built like this, certainly for residential purposes, for well over 25 years. It's very expensive," Allan said. "But this is a long-term building; it's going to be prominent on the skyline."

We have gone from some amazing 70 and 80 degree days to downpour rain. I must have had my physic hat on when I did my meal plan because when I woke up Monday it was pouring and didn't stop so my plan for dinner fit so perfect. Here I thought I was thinking it was just something easy but it turned out to be easy and warming just what we needed.
I found this recipe for Low Fat Lasagna Soup on What's Cookin' Italian Style Cuisine that turned out so yummy and the best part was I didn't spend an hour + making perfect stacks to just come out with goo when I tried to cut into it. YUP mine never looks like the kind you get in the restaurant standing up and looking all pretty. Enjoy this soup I promise everyone will love it and not even know it was low fat.
32 ounces of homemade chicken broth or use canned low sodium 99% fat free
2 lbs of fresh plum tomatoes diced or use a 28 ounce of whole tomatoes rinsed then diced to lower the salt content
2 cups homemade tomato sauce or jar store bought your favorite kind
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 bell pepper finely chopped (I put mine in the food processor)
1/2 teaspoon each chopped parsley, basil, oregano fresh or dried
4 links of Italian mild turkey sausage snipped in small slices with a kitchen shears
1 pound of ground turkey
1 tablespoon oil
2 cups broken whole grain lasagna noodles
2 teaspoons grating cheese
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of cayenne
(I used canned chicken broth, canned tomatoes, store bought sauce. I skipped the parsley and cayenne. I know I should use fresh but you have to go with what you got.)
In a large dutch oven add the tablespoon of olive oil, both meats, and peppers. Fry until the bottom starts to turn brown, stirring, this takes around 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook one minute. Next add all the liquids and spices. Cook around 20 minutes. Add broken up lasagna noodles and 2 teaspoons grating cheese. Let it cook for another 10 minutes for noodles to soften. Ladle into oven proof bowls, top with shredded fat free or low fat mozzarella cheese and broil till brown. You can also add a dollap of fat free ricotta cheese instead or both.
See I told you it looked yummy! It was perfect!

Why Magnesium?
Magnesium is possibly one of the most deficient minerals in our body and diet today. The first symptoms of magnesium deficiency can be subtle. Most magnesium is stored in the tissues and muscle twitches, joint ache and leg cramps are usually the first signs. Other symptoms, such as headaches, repetitive migraines and insomnia, can also occur if there is a magnesium deficiency in the body. If left untreated, more serious symptoms can develop.
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the human body and is essential to good health. It is critical in over 350 essential biochemical reactions in the body. In fact, Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body—it can be found in human bones, teeth and red blood cells, and activates more enzyme systems than both Iron and Zinc combined, but over the last century our over-mining and farming has caused a serious deficiency in magnesium levels within the soil.
It is now virtually impossible to eat a rich magnesium diet, as our fruit and vegetables are also deficient, which makes supplementing it on a daily basis a critical necessity. We can do this easily by using the Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion.
What is Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion?
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion Ultra is a smooth, quickly absorbed emulsion of magnesium chloride and MSM (OptiMSM®) in a skin-nourishing base of certified organic oils. Formulated for even the most sensitive individuals, Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion Ultra is a next generation formula incorporating the unique synergistic benefits of MSM and magnesium. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) has long been revered as a superior form of sulfur supplementation, but as a topical it enhances cell membrane permeability and may facilitate more efficient uptake of magnesium ions. Rich in plant moisturizers including coconut oil and shea butter, this lotion soothes and hydrates without leaving your skin feeling waxy or greasy. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion Ultra is fragrance free, does not contain any formaldehyde releasing preservatives, and delivers approximately 600mg elemental magnesium and 2.15g of MSM (OptiMSM®) per fl oz. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil Ultra utilizes premium distilled OptiMSM®, the world's purity standard for MSM.
Where Does Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion Ultra Come From?
Ancient Minerals magnesium chloride is extracted from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed in Europe, 1600 to 2000 meters deep in the interior of the Earth. Well protected for the last 250 million years, it is the most pure magnesium in the world and carries a mark of purity on every bottle of Ancient Minerals.
What is Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion Ultra Good For?
•Ideal for children and sensitive individuals

•Significant for massage applications
•Effective at encouraging healthy skin tissue
•Restores cellular magnesium levels
•Acts as a cellular protectant

Here's what the dianthus looked like at their peak in early June, with 'Prairie Breeze' Buck roses (I grew the 200 or so dianthus from seed in 2012 and they are still going strong, despite my clay soil):
|June 2014. What a lovely time of year!
|A closeup of June's magnificence.
Anyway, I was quite delighted to find even a fraction of their earlier blooms repeating this late in the year, and the fragrance is still every bit as delicious as it was before. So I picked a selection from the mixed variety and brought them inside for a miniature posy bouquet (it's only about 3" tall in the vase). The spicy-sweet scent is just the thing I need at this time of year.
|Another view from a different side, showing all the different
beautiful colors and shapes of the flowers in the mix.
This is time to enjoy the late flowers in our gardens. You never know what might surprise you by blooming when you least expect it.
Thanks for reading! -Beth

Berri Expects 'Tourist Boom' if Govt. Resolves Chronic Filesإقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih Berri said he expects Lebanon to witness a "tourist boom" if the newly formed government focused on addressing the problematic issues of electricity, waste management and corruption, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Monday.
"The policy statement should focus on fundamental issues, first and foremost the electricity file in order to stop the squandering there. Second, the waste management issue because it affects the environment and people's health. Third, the most important issue of corruption which should be a priority for the new government," said Berri.
Shall Lebanon succeed at addressing these "three issues, only then can we say that the country is taking the first step towards self salvation," added Berri, noting that it will pave way for "tourist attraction ahead of the Spring and Summer seasons."
On the government policy statement, to be drafted by a 10-minister committee, Berri noted "there are no disagreements over the statement. I believe it can be devised in a week or less."
Berri said a government confidence vote could be held next week if the policy statement was devised and approved in the Cabinet and referred to the parliament soon.
AHAHAHAHAHA... tourist boom? Only if the government solves the very tiny issues of electricity (unsolved for 30 years), waste management, and corruption (unsolved since the 80's)... lool... and then of course, the fact that we are in Ebola land, that weapons run freely in the country, that we are too expensive, that our taxi drivers are thugs and crooks, the religious tensions, the traffic, etc, etc... Berri is funny...
There must be major projects that needs the go ahead and he's buying time. As nothing ever gets done in Lebanon without passing through Beri's desk and getting his cut. I am from the south. I had a debate once when I was home a people complain about everything like tourists hardly step foot in the south. I was like why would any foreign or arab tourist want to come here, where your streets are lines up with trash, dumpsters being burned, chaos on the street, no traffic laws and on top of all every fucking way you turn you have yellow and green flags and martyr this and martyr that. It's as if you are in Tehran and not southern Lebanon.
I beleive he is thinking about Iranian and Iraqi tourist that would be added to the Syrian echelon who have been granted Lebanese citizenship that will come to Lebanons aid through tourism. I can see it now the hordes of Iranians in their long garbs filling up the restaurants and hotels in Lebanon with their love for culture. Yes the bar music will be overflowing through the busy nightlife Brummana and beit merri with the heavy bass of Abdulghaffar Beinitjanis latest techno vibes.

Secure and reliable critical infrastructures, such as data centers, are vital to the stability and performance of every advanced economy. With the amount of confidential information stored in a data center, it's crucial for the facility to maintain a secure environment. But determining the best way to protect critical infrastructure may sometimes seem less clear cut. Convergint, partnered with Axis Communications and Genetec, can implement solutions to help protect critical infrastructure.
There is, in fact, a distinctly superior path to protecting critical infrastructures like data centers. This path is using network surveillance to deliver benefits in three areas critical to any operation:
1. Intrusion
Network surveillance does double duty as a valuable supplement to data for industrial control systems. It can help users better understand precisely what is happening with their processes, and therefore reduce process downtime and improve efficiency. The surveillance system can be configured to send alerts in response to data from an integrated control system. Operators can then use visual cameras to assess situations from afar.
2. Operations
The same network surveillance that so effectively protects critical infrastructure from bad actors can simultaneously protect an organization's operations against inefficiency and costly downtime. It is a kind of double duty that essentially doubles the return on an organization's investment in network surveillance – even creating an opportunity to share costs between several departments.
3. Health and Safety
Network surveillance also does double duty as a way of monitoring policy adherence, evaluating risks in real-time, and improving health and safety practices. Network surveillance goes well beyond superior intrusion protection: It is also a valuable tool that can help organizations better protect the reliability of their critical operations and the safety of their employees.
In addition, layer in the Security Center Synergis™ IP access control system (ACS) for a rounded security lineup. With native end-to-end encryption from the reader to the Synergis software and advanced claim-based authentication, data will be completely secured.

Neutralize Threats Quickly
With embedded threat management capabilities, operators can quickly change the behavior of a security system at a moment's notice in response to potential cyber or physical threats.

Our Recommendation for Multi-Room Audio: Sonos
Why We Think Sonos is a Great Option for New Jersey Homes
There has never been a better time to be an audiophile. The days of sticking to one dedicated listening room are over. Instead, today's multi-room audio systems combine top-quality sound with a simple user experience and tons of options for enjoying all your favorite music, no matter what room you're in.
The question for homeowners throughout Morris County is not usually "should I get multi-room audio?" but rather "which sound system is best?" While there are many factors that will affect the answer to that question (and we encourage you to reach out to us for a more personalized response), in general, our vote goes to Sonos.
Here's why….

Have you ever wondered what the red Easter egg symbolizes or why it's the centerpiece of every Greek Easter table?
To start with, the shell of the Easter egg symbolizes the tomb of Christ which explains why Greeks crack them on Easter Sunday – a meaningful symbolism of Christ's resurrection that signifies the braking of the gates of the underworld and the eternal victory over death for all humanity.
Unlike Easter eggs in other countries, Greek Easter eggs can only be found in the red color. Red is the color of life and victory, however Easter eggs in the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches are traditionally dyed red to also symbolize the blood of Christ.
Easter eggs are usually dyed on Holy Thursday in commemoration of the Last Supper, the last meal that Lord Jesus shared with his disciples in Jerusalem right before his arrest and eventual crucifixion.
Image Credits: © Illustration: Philippos Avramides / Greece is
"Tsougrisma" is one of the oldest Greek Easter traditions and refers to the cracking of the Easter egg. It involves two or more players who take turns in banging the Easter eggs against each other. Naturally, one or even both eggs will crack at which point the participants exchange wishes: "Christos Anesti (=Christ has risen)" to which the other person replies "Alithos Anesti (=Truly, He has risen)".
City Break for Easter break!
With Easter around the corner, Greece offers so many beautiful destinations for a short and yet unforgettable trip!

In 1990 an American attorney called Mike Godwin made an observation about the nature of the prolonged debate on the internet, and coined a phrase that has since been referred to as "Godwin's Law":
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1"
This can apply almost any discussion but is nearly a certainty in online discussions about politics, as the end result between two parts move close and close to one party making the claim that the political leader, or their party, is acting in a way so abhorrent that they are comparable to Hitler or his party. The fact that I have seen this time and time again, normally when someone slightly to the liberal side of a more conservative policy vents their frustration (I genuinely once saw an argument which after a mere hour on a message board claimed the British government to be exactly like the Nazi party, on the basis that they were raising the pension age).
I have been frustrated many times by this occurrence because if you look beyond the mandatory education on the subject, the clutch of truly attentive films and books on the subject and put a modicum of effort into actually examining the Holocaust in Europe you will see that this is not just another war with casualties, not just a sad chapter but at times a truly surprising series of events. I can't begin to image the fear and hatred that people had to feel in order to make themselves comply with the aggressive measures taken during the second world war to innocent people of all ages genders and abilities.
I have felt for a long time that we should focus very carefully on what has happened because the true facts are so hard to imagine that over time it would be easy for people to forget it happened, or to believe the stories to be exaggerations or as some do, lies.
I don't worry about that anymore.
At the fear of sounding like I am playing into Godwin's Law (for the first time) we have reached a point in the last 18 months where any historian will be able to see that certain events which have lead tot he Holocaust are again happening now. This isn't to say that this is inevitable and that it will end the same way, but truthfully we are already too close and people are already suffering, but this time the persecution I fear is not focused in Europe, but in America.
"The Land of the Free" has taken a drastic diversion away from the direction taken by the few many (Traitors their time but heroes now) who have struck out from European origin with a hope of creating a fair and equal society for all in the new world.
The 14th Amendment guarantees that everyone is entitled to equal protection under the law, however in a decidedly grotesque (and to many of us predictable) fashion 45th President Donald Trump has violated this with an executive order which has seen a 120 day suspension of all refugees arriving from Syria, a country in the midst of true humanitarian crisis and tragedy through the acts of war which will be beyond the understanding and influence of its victims. In addition, there is a ban on entry of all nationals from several Muslim countries – Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen – for 90 days. This further Ban if read carefully also allows for the time to be expanded and for further nations to be included.
These are the are early steps in Trumps promised campaign which has been phrased in many ways under the guise of homeland security, economic defense, cultural survival which all boil down to the same true goal, to eradicate the risk of Muslim integration and influence in America, either from within it borders of further afield.
Much like Adolf Hitler, Donald trump and his republican party did not march into power, he earned the right to be there through the (admittedly imperfect) democratic process that more honest men before him have tried to design in the best interest of the people. His campaign was one of creating a scapegoat for the disenfranchised and a threat from the Muslim world as a boogie man to the less perceptive and more aggressive members of society, not unlike those campaigns against the Jews in Europe. Hitler ruled from a position of arrogance and hatred and it must be acknowledged that for a long time he was successful, to all of our shame. Eventually, those crimes ended because others in the world (including America) acknowledged that it was wrong and fought against Fascism.
In a way, President Trump stands in an oddly more sinister position. While he has not openly spoken about the murder of Muslims (and neither did Hitler before the war) he has followed the same steps of changing people's status, removing equal legal protection and seeks to introduce a program of registration. There would be no rational reason to take these steps unless you were trying to remove that element from society, and as that is clearly his goal it seems equally clear that stopping new residence arriving will not achieve this, then we have to concern ourselves with what happens to those who already live in America.
I say he is more sinister however due to the background he has come from. This born wealthy titan, a man who has known nothing but privilege and ease in life, has convinced a large portion of the America – one of the most economical unbalanced nations in the world – that the nation's ills do not sit with the extreme wealthy taking advantage of the poor or powerless but instead falling on those refugees who would arrive in order to live in freedom. This argument is perceived by many of those poorer people in America that they have so little themselves that they cannot afford to share but in actual fact, there is more than enough to go around in America when distributed more evenly. This won't happen because wealth and power are so intertwined in this society that freedom takes a back step to wealth.
The rich, such as President Trump, have little to fear from the Muslim world in America but what they do fear is the Americans in the poorer levels of society who are more aware than ever before that the world is not fair for them. It is all too easy then for the Government to create a scary and mysterious threat in the form of a culture that many find it easy to detach from. Just like the school bully who picks on someone different from them, just in case anyone wants to look too carefully at their own shortcomings.
America is crass and vulgar, in so many ways and yet it does not have to be. It was designed to be a Utopia of freedom of religion – of hope – which stumbled out of the block first with the subjugation of native Americans and even now with the banning of new Americans. America could be great indeed, but more importantly, it could be fair, it could be beautiful and it could be safe.
I would urge American's now to stop worrying about where new American's come from – your ancestors are almost certainly from across the ocean – and to tell your government that this has gone too far. Whoever you voted for does not matter, whatever you felt at the time was best does not matter. If you feel that you wanted this, you wanted the world of "Us vs Them" in perpetuity then I fear I will never be able to understand but please examine this more carefully, read the Poem below which has adorned the gateway to your nation for generations and try to decide now which America you want to live in, the America of freedom, hope and egalitarian justice for everyone or the America of fear, threats and Walls.
There are people who are tired, poor and wretched and they want to be free and they are being sent away. Is this the America your ancestors promised?
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
(The New Colossus – Emma Lazarus)

With advancing technology and a global economy, more organizations are incorporating a virtual workforce into the traditional office setting. Working virtually can provide employees with added flexibility and a better work-life balance, while enabling employers to expand their prospective labor pool and hire for good fit, as opposed to physical location. But there can be drawbacks as well. For example, communication is more challenging, and trust can be difficult to achieve when workers are scattered across the country and even around the world.
According to Dr. Lori LaCivita, an industrial and organizational (I-O) psychologist and Walden University's program director for the MS and PhD in Industrial and Organizational Psychology programs, it is imperative that employers and employees be aware of the challenges and benefits of a virtual workforce in order to develop cohesive and productive teams.
Tips for Employers and Managers:
Tips for Employees:
Virtual workforces are here to stay, and I-O psychologists are leading these changes in the workforce by helping to develop performance management systems, information-access capabilities, and training systems to help remote workers develop essential skills. With the help of I-O psychologists, organizations are creating diverse, talented, and cohesive workforces with employees across the globe.

It's 6AM, wind blowing by, body and machine slicing through the air like a knife through butter. The Sun is rising to my back, and the road is quiet. The hum of rubber and road are the only sounds I hear, along with the almost silent laboring of my breath. Sweat pours even though the tempature is quite nice. The humidity hangs in the air, causing even my machine to sweat with moisture. I push a bit harder... I go a bit faster... I feel free, because at 6am, flying just seems to come natural.
I really should get out early more often. Then again I'm not a morning person. I find it hard enough to drag myself out of bed, much less throw a leg over a bike and ride in the wee hours of the morning. However, last night my body shut down. It does that sometimes. I got home at 5 and was asleep by 5:30. I only woke a few times, and before I knew it, it was 5:30 in the morning and I almost jumped out of bed I was so awake.
Almost a month of traveling the nation, racing every weekend, and tons of riding in this heat finally cumulated to one of those 12 hour sleep nights.
On the racing news front, Topeka was a whole lot of fun on Sunday. The course was the same as last year, and the tempature was actually very bareable. I took it hard from the beginning, only dragging JPB with me up the grassy hill leading to the singletrack. I stood and sprinted out of every corner on the first lap, which is a whole lot of sprinting. The trail out at the GMansion is loaded with sharp 180 degree turns, and fast and flowy sections.
After the first lap I put it on cruise control and tried to keep a consistant pace. I was able to do so, and in the end I took the overall Expert win. JP Brockett took second, and just like that Ethos took down another 1,2. It was also good to see our St.Joe brothers as they all did very well also, taking home medals galore.
Tonight I'm going to do a little 35 mile gravel grinder, followed by the same ride backwards tommorow morning, and then the SPIN Pizza ride tommorow night.
Gotta get ready for the BT Epic and a couple double header weekends.
That's right Schottler, I got your number son. Ha ha... Well, at least I hope I'll be able to hang your wheel for at least part of that beast.
Here's to 50 miles in the Ozarks at a blistering pace.
Ethos will be there, will you?
Listening to For the Birds right now... Local KC band that I stumbled onto after meeting the cello player Saturday night, who also was the cello player for a show Jeremy Collins had,The Wolf and the Medallion. The show really brought home the last few years of my life, and what is my life's journey. Here's to kicking the Wolf's ass, and never letting go of what drives you in life.

Last week, I got tired of my excuses, and decided to do something about them once and for all. Of course, I am talking about my excuses to get out of cleaning the bathrooms.
Clean the bathroom. Doesn't this phrase just fill you to the brim with joy? I know it's not the most fun chore in the house, which is why I designed a way to make it just a little bit more fun, and maybe while we're at it a little more efficient too.
One of my biggest reasons for putting off cleaning the bathrooms has always been that all of the bathroom cleaning supplies were scattered throughout our three bathrooms, and some items were under the kitchen sink. If you only have one bathroom in your house, you probably don't have this problem.
To solve this problem, I decided to put together three separate "cleaning caddies" with identical cleaning supplies in them. They would be movable for ease of cleaning around the bathroom itself, but would otherwise be stationary in their respective rooms.
To begin this project, I purchased these three plastic baskets from Amazon. On my next trip to the grocery store, I bought the following:
- three Boulder Clean foaming bathroom cleaners
- three Boulder Clean glass and surface cleaners
- a pack of three microfiber towels
- two 2-packs of white Twist sponges
- a pack of non-scratch scrubbers
- one Full Circle grout & tile scrub brush
- three clear plastic sponge holders that were $2 each
- several packs of rubber gloves, including a set of size SMALL purple gloves for my 7 year-old daughter, and a pair of medium Mr. Clean's cotton-lined gloves for myself
- two Swiffer dusters because they were on sale for $0.99 each
- paper towels
When I got home, I opened all the packages and laid everything out. I located three white rags I already had at home. And then, because no cleaning kit would be complete without some pieces of old ripped-up white t-shirt, I brought some scraps of that over too.
In each kit, I put the following:
- one sponge holder
- one sponge
- one scrubber
- one rag
- one scrap of old tshirt
- one microfiber towel
- one bathroom cleaner
- one glass cleaner
- one pair of gloves
- one roll of paper towels
- one duster
The grout & tile scrubber went into the kit that will be in the master bathroom, because that is where it's needed most.
In order to affix the sponge holders to the plastic baskets, I removed the suction cups, fit one suction cup in one hole, attached the sponge holder, and then fit the other suction cup through the next hole and squeezed the other side of the sponge holder onto it.
I did not feel the need to add toilet bowl cleaning solutions to these kits. I already have this Scotch Brite disposable toilet scrubber cleaning system in our downstairs bathroom, and this Clorox ToiletWand for the upstairs bathrooms. I am going to get one more system so that we can have one in every bathroom, and I won't even have to move the upstairs one between those two.
With the kits all put together, it was time to put them to the test! My 7 year-old daughter was excited to try out her new purple gloves, so I gave her a cleaning caddy and she set to work on the downstairs bathroom.
She used the sponge and bathroom cleaner for the toilet and sink, then the rag to wipe up the leftover foam. She used the microfiber towel and glass cleaner to clean the mirror and sink faucet. It is quite fun to shine things up with a microfiber towel.
So far I have cleaned all three bathrooms with all three kits, and I have to say that having all the supplies neatly packaged and on-hand for me almost made the task a pleasure. I think we can all agree that while it may not be fun to actually clean the bathrooms, it is satisfying to finish up and have a sparkling clean bathroom before you.
After putting our cleaning caddies to the test, my only comment is that it might have been nice to have a little dustpan in each one, like this cute Full Circle mini brush and dustpan set. I have one I will add to one caddy, and plan to buy two more for the other caddies over time.
I am working on the area under our kitchen sink. So far I like that I have one container for clean rags, t-shirt scraps, and microfiber towels, and then another container next to it for the dirties.
Do you think a cleaning caddy would help you have more fun cleaning the bathroom? What else do you think I could add to my cleaning caddies to make them even more useful?

How do you teach kids to LOVE reading independently while simultaneously keeping them accountable for their work time while also simultaneously making sure they're comprehending what they're reading? Whew.
First Step: Ditch the Reading Logs. Yep, you read that right.
Nothing takes the joy out of reading like the dreaded reading logs. You know the ones. The ones where students have to write down the title, author, date, and how many pages they read that day of that book. Why do we do this? Do teachers actually look at them and get accurate information from them? Plus, when was the last time as an adult that I filled one out to track my reading? Personally, I use GoodReads to do that. It's digital, it's fast, it's visual, and I'm not recording every single detail. That takes the joy out of it all!
So what to use in place of that? How do we know students are completing the books they read? How do we know they're understanding them? Many schools use Accelerated Reader (including mine) and it works well for a lot of kids. Not all, but many are motivated by it. I don't mind it, but it's not my end-all-be-all for reading comprehension.
This year I started using Flipgrid during my workshop time and it's taken off with my students. For their own privacy I'm not going to share our class's personal grid, but I'll explain and give details as to why and how I use it during this time of my day.
During our workshop time, students always read to self at some point. I thought instead of reading logs, which no one except the student/teacher/parent sees, why not make sharing what we're reading more social? Why not provide a platform to students to recommend and review books? Now, THAT we do continuously as adults!
Create and share a Grid! Use flipgrid.com to create a free account. Create a topic within that Grid. Ours is titled "2K Reads" but you could use Reviews, Recommendations, Book Talks, etc. in your title. You'll be provided with a Grid Code after it's set up. This is will be how students will access your grid topic. Share it out with students in a variety of ways: share the code, provide the link, embed the grid topic on a website or LMS.
MODEL what it looks like! Have a few example videos of you and other teachers sharing book reviews/recommendations on the Grid. Here's what my students are required to share:
ALSO, model how to REACT to videos. This emoji reaction guide by Sean Fahey is stellar for teaching students what they mean and when to select them.
Let your students start sharing!! Reading is social and students should be given a platform to share what they're reading and why they love it. 75% of the books I read are recommended by bloggers I follow, podcasts I listen to, friends I love, + librarians I've connected with. Chances are, that reluctant reader is reluctant because he hasn't found the right books that interest him yet.
Here are some other ways to go past only using Flipgrid for Readers Workshop reflection + accountability:
This is a great idea for rethinking reading logs to update them not just in terms of technologies, but to align them with what we know about reading (it's a social activity) and quality assessment (how many logs did you fake as a kid?).

Yes! Love the extensions you mentioned. I think using Flipgrid to practice any comprehension skills you're working on in the classroom (like making connections, sequencing, summarizing, asking questions, etc.) is a great opportunity. I didn't even think about how this relates to Connected Learning either, so thanks for sharing that! I like the idea of involving parents and siblings into the child's reading life in that way, too.

Ten real estate investment trusts (REITs) have gone public this year, and six have outperformed the market, according to ""SNL Financial,"":http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/Article.aspx?cdid=A-17129708-13352 a New York-based firm that analyzes the financial and real estate markets.[IMAGE]
Year-to-date as of October 3, the 10 REITs raised $3.4 billion through their initial public offerings (IPOs), according to SNL, which calculated each REIT's returns since its respective IPO date and compared it to the SNL U.S. REIT Equity Index over the same time period.
Outpacing the index by about 21 percentage points, Chicago-based Aviv REIT claimed the highest return of all the REITs with IPOs this year. Aviv went public with an initial $303.6 million offering on March 20 and earned an 18.27 percent return year-to-date. This compares to the SNL index return of -2.82 percent over the same time period.

Why Having A Toddler Is Like Being At A Frat Party
There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.
There's always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.
It's best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.
You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone's going to start banging on the door.
Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.
You've got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.
There's definitely going to be a fight.
You're not sure whether anything you're doing is right, you just hope it won't get you arrested.
There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.
You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there.
