NHEHS U11 Netballers Win Newland House Tournament Plate
The Newland House Netball tournament in Twickenham took place last week marking the first netball tournament after the Christmas break. As a friendly fixture had been cancelled earlier in the week due to snow, all the girls were looking forward to playing in this tournament.
The number of schools taking part had increased to twelve from last year, and as a result the schools were divided into two groups, giving each school five matches in their group before the second round of matches would be decided.
NHEHS got off to a good start winning their first match 3 – 0 but unfortunately placement of the ball wasn't consistently accurate enough, along with a lack of concentration, in the following three games.
As a result, the girls lost these matches by one or two goals. Determined to finish the group matches on a positive note, the NHEHS team went all out in their last group game to beat Pembridge Hall 5 – 2. After a short break, the final round of matches were announced. Unfortunately NHEHS hadn't made it in to the Shield round of games but they soon put this disappointment aside and decided they were going to go all out to try to win the Plate group.
The final round of matches were against Pembridge Hall, Orchard House, LEH, Newland House B and Old Vicarage.
NHEHS were like a new team and went from strength to strength, winning all their matches. They were now in the final and excited to be playing against Old Vicarage. There was a definite air of confidence in the girls before they went on court in the final and as the match progressed they totally dominated the opposition in both attack and defence. When the final bell rang NHEHS had won 11- 0 and were most definitely worthy winners of the Plate group.
It was a great morning of netball and all the girls were delighted to be going home with a medal and the Plate.
U11A Team Natasha, Josephine, Jasmine, Jaspreet, Dana, Morven, India, Emma and Sofia.
NHEHS Most Valuable Player: Dana

What cannot you order over on the net? Virtually every imaginable product can be ordered. These include drugs. But when shopping for medicines online users should be attentive. Because between serious providers are also black sheep. A look at the imprint can help. The name of the pharmacist, the full name of the pharmacy and the address of the competent regulatory authority and pharmacy chamber should be indicated there.
When should users become suspicious?
For a cryptic URL that point to a location in the far abroad one should be careful. Even who calls there and does not get a contact person on the line, should check again if everything is right with right things going on. The authority often also warns against providers offering prescription medicines without consumers having to submit the original prescription. Pharmacies that offer only lifestyle products such as sexual enhancers or medicines that are not approved. Suspicious websites can report consumers to the police or prosecutors and contact the right forum. However, you can find such good quality online pharmacies over the internet. Be safe while making any online medicine purchase with canadianpharmtabs.com/cheap-canadian-pharmacy/, trustworthy and friendly.
What are the benefits and how to select?
Especially for people with chronic diseases, such a pharmacy could be practical. They regularly need the same medicines and can plan their needs. In addition, it is easier to compare prices online. For non-prescription drugs there is no price maintenance. You can select the necessary goods on the site using the search in the upper part of the site. If you know what product you need, then simply enter its name, brand or active ingredient. After entering a search query you will see a pop-up menu with popular products. You can go to the product card by clicking on the desired product. If there is no necessary item in the pop-up menu then click on the Search button and then select the appropriate form on the page with all search results.
Conclusion: gathering information
For more information about the drug, click on its name or image on the search results page or subcategory. On the product page there are detailed instructions for use, including indications, contraindications, methods of use and dosage. Also on the page there are real reviews of customers and pharmacists, drug analogues and certificates confirming the quality and authenticity of the goods. Before proceeding to the order, the necessary preparations must be added to the cart by clicking on the Buy button and indicating the required number of packages. When you send each new product to the basket, the total quantity of goods and the amount in the basket are instantly updated.

When pregnant, women can have elevated blood pressure, a condition called pre-eclampsia, which may require inducing labor or surgical delivery. Doctors said antioxidants may lower chances of pre-eclampsia.
In one study, 110 pregnant women with low levels of antioxidants took 1,000 mg of vitamin C plus 400 IU of vitamin E per day or a placebo from eight to 12 weeks pregnant. They continued supplementation through two weeks after giving birth. Nine of the women developed pre-eclampsia, with eight of the cases in the placebo group and one in the antioxidant group.
Doctors concluded that women who are low in antioxidants may reduce the chances of pre-eclampsia by taking antioxidants during early pregnancy.

The Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord (A)
Dear brothers and sisters,
This morning I heard on the radio a song I had not heard before, but these words caught my ear: "I said, only rainbows after rain; the sun will always come again." Having a great love of Hawaii, such words always grab me.
The more I listened to the song the more I liked it and it seemed a fitting song for today's celebration of the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. The refrain to the song by Andy Grammer on an album soon to be released is the same as its title: "Keep your head up."
The song's title reminds me of the words the two mysterious men addressed to the Apostles: "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky" (Acts 1:11)? The answer to their question is given by these same two men in their following words: "This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven" (Acts 1:11).
My favorite images of Jesus' Ascension into heaven come from the Middle Ages when the artists of the period depicted this happy and wondrous event in a common way. The Apostles are generally shown looking up into the sky, with a variety of expressions on their faces. A few sometimes seem to have a knowing smile about them; others are clearly distraught; some look up longingly; and some seem simply confused and baffled. They keep their heads up for the various reasons shown on their faces.
Watching the Lord being taken up from them, the Apostles likely enough had similar questions running through their minds as these expressed in the song, "Keep your head up": "My life and my purpose, \ is it all worth it? \ Am I gonna turn out fine?"
The Lord Jesus had only been with them a short forty days after his Resurrection and now he was leaving them. And though he had told them several times he would come back for them, still they did not understand his purposes; indeed, "when they saw him, they worshipped, but they doubted" (Matthew 28:17). They surely wondered if they had renewed their trust in him in vain. Are you and I any different than they? Do we not also worship and doubt? Do we, too, not ask, "Am I gonna turn out fine?"
We are sometimes tempted to think or to imagine that Jesus has left us completely alone, that he no longer cares for us, but Holy Mother Church gently corrects this thought and reminds us, as we soon will pray, that
The Lord Jesus, the king of glory, the conqueror of sin and death, ascended to heaven while the angels sang his praises. Christ, the mediator between God and man, judge of the world and Lord of all, has passed beyond our sight, not to abandon us but to be our hope. Christ is the beginning, the head of the Church; where he has gone, we hope to follow" (Preface: Ascension I).
This, then, is "the hope that belongs to [Jesus'] call (Ephesians 1:18): to be with him forever in his kingdom where "God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord. Alleluia" (Psalm 47:6)!
Looking back at the medieval depictions of the Ascension, if you look up above the Apostles to where their gazes are directed you will see something that at first seems rather curious and perhaps even comical: a pair of feet sticking out from the bottom of a cloud, and nothing more. But if you look closely at those feet you will know whose they are, for they bear the marks of nails in them: they are Jesus' feet.
This intriguing way of showing the Lord's Ascension is a stark reminder of the reality of the event: the Lord left the Apostles only to return to them ten days later and bestow upon them the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. But in that moment of his leaving them they forgot his promised return.
Why must we keep our heads up? Certainly not out of confusion or bewilderment, and certainly not out of despair. In today's society it is customary to keep our head up to show our self-confidence and our self-esteem. These are not good reasons to keep our heads up, either. No, we ought not raise our heads to others in some arrogant gesture; rather, we ought to bow our heads to one another in humble recognition of their dignity and worth.
We must keep our heads up in order to keep our eyes focused on Jesus' feet, or, perhaps better said, to keep our eyes fixed on the hope that belongs to his call. But what is this hope? What is this call?
Pope Benedict XVI begins his second encyclical letter Spe salvi by reminding us "that we have been given hope, trustworthy hope, by virtue of which we can face our present: the present, even if it is arduous, can be lived and accepted if it leads towards a goal, if we can be sure of this goal, and if this goal is great enough to justify the effort of the journey" (1).
Our hope does lead to a goal: life on high with Jesus Christ. Of this goal we can indeed be sure and certain, for the Lord Jesus has ascended there before us. He did not leave his humanity behind but took it with him – scars and all – to show us that he desires us to be with him. On our own, we cannot follow him, but he has opened the way before us and beckons us to follow him, to live as he has lived; he calls us to keep the commandments he gave us, the double command of the love of God and the love of neighbor (cf. Matthew 28:20).
We know, then, our hope has a goal and that this goal is attainable. But is this goal worth the cost? Is it worth the cross that must be carried? Is it worth the scars that we, too, are certain to receive? I daresay it is, and the lives of the Saints also testify that this goal is worth the cost.
The hope of Christians authentically living their faith is their distinguishing mark; it is
the fact that they have a future: it is not that they know the details of what awaits them, but they know in general terms that their life will not end in emptiness. Only when the future is certain as a positive reality does it become possible to live the present as well (Spe salvi, 2).Those who have hope can say with Saint Josephine Bakhita who, while suffering greatly under slavery, said, "I am definitively loved, and whatever happens to me – I am awaited by this Love. And so my life is good" (in Spe salvi, 3). To put it in the words of our song, "I'm gonna turn out fine."
But what, then, is heaven and what do we mean when we speak eternal life? We often think of it as some floating place in the sky where the angels play their harps on fluffy clouds like those from which Jesus' feet extend, but this is only a childish take on heaven and very far removed from the reality. Pope Benedict XVI describes heaven, the state of being with God, in these words:
It would be like plunging into the ocean of infinite love, a moment in which time – the before and after – no longer exists. We can only attempt to grasp the idea that such a moment is life in the full sense, a plunging ever anew into the vastness of being, in which we are simply overwhelmed with great joy (Spe salvi, 12).This overwhelming joy is what makes this goal, this hope, worth the cost.
Let each of us, then, keep our heads up, looking to Jesus Christ so that where he has gone we, too, may follow. May each of us look for his feet and follow, confident that if we remain faithful to his call, if we live in hope, we are gonna turn out fine. Amen.

Pop-up retail, also known as pop-up stores or shops or flash retailing, is a trend of opening short-term sales spaces that started in Los Angeles and are now found all over the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Temporary retail establishments date at least to the Vienna December market in 1298 and the European Christmas markets that followed. Seasonal farmer's markets, holiday fireworks stands, Halloween costume shops, and consumer expos are other examples of temporary retailing.
The 'Ritual Expo' was one of the first iterations of the modern pop-up retail store. Not yet referred to as pop-up retail, the 1997 Los Angeles event was created by Patrick Courrielche and was later branded as a one-day 'ultimate hipster mall.' The event quickly caught the eye of large brands that saw the potential of creating short-term experiences to promote their products to target audiences. AT&T, Levi-Strauss, and Motorola worked with Courrielche to create pop-up shopping experiences across the country to market their products to young audiences.
In 2002, discount retailer Target took over a 220-foot-long boat at Chelsea Piers for a two-week stay on the Hudson River that coincided with Black Friday. Vacant, a Los Angeles, California based business specializing in pop-ups, arrived in New York in February 2003, working with Dr. Martens on a pop-up space at 43 Mercer Street.
Song Airlines, a a low-cost airline created by Delta in 2003 opened a pop-up shop in New York City to promote its launch. Comme des Garçons opened, for one year, a pop-up shop in 2004 with the 'Guerrilla Shop' tag. Trendwatching.com claims to have coined the term 'Pop-Up Retail' in 2004. In 2013, Samsung opened a pop-up shop in New York City's Soho area that worked as a brand experience space. The temporary pop-up space was extended and eventually became a permanent retail space. In 2015 Fourth Element opened the world's first underwater pop-up shop at a depth of 19 feet at 'TEKCamp.2015.'
Other brands that have developed pop-up shops as part of their campaigns include Kate Spade, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Colette. Pop-up Retail began expanding into other genres around 2009, when the Pop-up restaurant – temporary restaurants popping up in various locations – began growing in public interest and frequency.
A pop-up retail space is a venue that is temporary: the space could be a sample sale one day and host a private cocktail party the next evening. The trend involves 'popping up' one day, then disappearing anywhere from one day to several weeks later. These shops, while small and temporary, are used by companies to build interest in their product or service, and seed their product with cultural influencers.
Pop-up retail allows a company to create a unique environment that engages their customers and generates a feeling of relevance and interactivity. They are often used by marketers for seasonal items such as Halloween costumes and decorations, Christmas gifts and Christmas trees, or fireworks. The pop-up retail model has also been used on the concert scene, as at the 'Treefort Music Fest,' to provide all-ages or family friendly venues, often at restaurants which do not routinely host musical acts; these ephemeral establishments are known as pop-up venues.
There are various benefits to pop-ups such as marketing, testing products, locations, or markets, and as a low-cost way to start a business. Some pop-up shops, such as Ricky's and other Halloween stores, are seasonal, allowing brands to capture foot traffic without committing to a long-term lease. Other brands use pop-ups to create engagement, such as Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop's exchange of 'social currency' for free products.

If you're lacking motivation to get off the couch, think about Stormy.
The stray dog unexpectedly completed the 21 km Ellery Brookman Goldfields Pipeline Half-Marathon in Australia on July 23 — a marathon in which the typical runner has two legs.
Race organizer Rhea Wholey told Australia's ABC News this very good boy hit every checkpoint on the dirt track and finished within the top 70 with an estimated time of two-and-a-half-hours, matching the average time for the 97-person event.
"This dog is walking around, making itself known to all the runners. We get the air horn out and say 'Go' and off he goes with everybody," marathon volunteer coordinator Allison Hunter told the media outlet. "Speaking with all the aid stations and marshals later, we found out that he stopped at every single one."
For his efforts, the four-legged athlete was awarded a participation medal.
Unfortunately, animal rangers impounded the year-old black and brown canine after no one claimed him at the end of the race.
Organizers were later told that the dog is a resident of a local Aboriginal community who doesn't have a sole owner, but is well-known around the town, according to Metro U.K.
Under council rules, Stormy will spend up to seven days behind bars waiting to see if his owners will come forward. If he's not claimed by the end of the week, he'll be put up for adoption.
"We are willing to get him out of the pound," Hunter told the Daily Mail. "We do want the best for him. He's the most amazing, loving dog you've ever seen."

Here's what's happening in the world of television for Tuesday, September 12. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Hand In Hand: A Benefit For Hurricane Relief (multiple networks, 8 p.m.): What was initially planned as a telethon responding to Hurricane Harvey has now expanded its scope in order to aid the victims of Hurricane Irma. Airing commercial-free on ABC, Bravo, CBS, CMT, E!, Fox, HBO, MTV, NBC, and Oxygen (and a host of online sources), Hand To Hand is scheduled to include appearances by some of the biggest names in music, film, and TV, such as Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Drake, George Clooney, and Stephen Colbert.

The Peel District School Board has recently partnered with GreenLearning, a non-profit organization that creates energy and sustainability programming for students, to launch their pilot program, Energy Revealed. The program's aim is to "make energy visible" in schools by leveraging and offering new technology to schools.

"At the Peel District School Board, we pride ourselves on the creation of innovative learning opportunities that empower our students and will make a lasting impact on our community long after a student has graduated," said Peter Joshua, director of education at the Peel District School Board. "We are thrilled to have been able to partner with an organization like GreenLearning to launch Energy Revealed, a program that we believe will heighten awareness of environmental issues among our students and give them the tools to affect real change."
Energy Revealed is a learning initiative that brings real-time energy monitoring technology and energy management directly into the hands of staff and students. It will utilize electricity meters that are installed in the school to develop modern learning opportunities and thereby encouraging and empowering students to become energy leaders in their schools, homes and communities.
As part of its pilot program, GreenLearning invited Mayfield, Sandalwood Heights and Stephen Lewis secondary schools, based on their metering technology and Gold and Platinum EcoSchools status, to participate in their first focus group. At the meetings, students and staff provided their insights on how to leverage this technology to benefit the environment and conducted a test run of the project.
"In response to a commitment to be more energy efficient, we recently installed energy metering technology in all of the facilities owned by the board – 270 buildings total," says Benjamin Ratcliffe, energy specialist at the Peel District School Board. "These installations have already lead to energy savings and have created a wonderful opportunity for GreenLearning to partner with us in their pre-pilot program. By revealing the schools' energy usage to students, we can engage them to take actions on improving efficiency which mitigates climate change and saves money."

While processing administrative and subject files of the UJA-Federation of New York's Legal Department, I encountered several subject files labeled "Asset Study." A few years after the merger between United Jewish Appeal of Greater New York and Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, the Legal Department cooperated with other departments to create a comprehensive list and accompanying data related to the assets, including real estate, held by UJA-Federation and all of its predecessor organizations.
To that end, in April 1990, James L. Rothkopf contacted Colonel Seymour J. Pomrenze, the UJA-Federation's record manager and archives consultant, to assist in finding documentation within the organization's inactive records stored in their building and off-site storage. And, much like a reference request or inquiry sent to an archival repository, Pomrenze identified resources within the philanthropic organization's inactive records to find information on real estate and tangible assets.
As inactive records went into storage, either on or off-site, a List of File Folder Titles (LFFT), which listed the contents of each box, was placed in the box and also photocopied and retained by UJA-Federation. With the assistance of these LFFTs, Pomrenze and others could identify a list of knowledgeable persons, pinpoint the location of relevant records, create copies of lists of files and boxes with records "retired" (sent to storage) by knowledgeable persons, and help determine where information might be kept by the county or state governments related to property and land registries.
With the names and LFFTs of knowledgeable persons, such as heads of departments, comptrollers, counsels, employees and consultants, the Legal Department could locate information by box and strategically recall boxes out of off-site storage to review and collate data on real estate and other assets held by UJA-Federation or its predecessor organizations and affiliated agencies.
In addition to any of the assets identified within the early 1990s study, it is important to remember what an asset (or benefit) it is to have organizational records under intellectual control stored in a safe, ideally climate-controlled, environment for later inquiries from both the organization that created the records and researchers alike.

According to the Chinese calendar, 2010 will be the Year of the Tiger. Here in Japan, we too will celebrate the Year of the Tiger, since the Japanese follow the Chinese zodiac in designating year names through the cycle of twelve animals. The tiger is third in the cycle, and was last celebrated in 1998. Last year (2008) was the Year of the Rat, and next year (2011) will be the Year of the Rabbit. But what about the tiger?
There's probably some question as to how deep the average Chinese person (or Japanese person) goes into the symbolism of these zodiac animals, but I have always felt each animal deserved some scrutiny into its particular meaning, however slight. The tiger is immediately an icon of power, ferocity, cruelty, beauty and speed. It has been described as both aggressive and protective. In many places in China we see stone tigers serving as protective guardians at gates and doorways. In other places we see a link with warriors and the military, which promotes the aggressive view of its symbolism. And in Chinese Buddhism the tiger personifies anger.
Of course, some of us can't help recalling William Blake's poem "The Tyger" when this image is mentioned. At least that was my thought recently when I first began to consider what I wanted to do with my traditional New Year greeting card for the coming year. For all the years I have lived in Japan, I've spent a portion of my December days devising a zodiac-centered card to send friends and associates on January first. I have been doing that now these past few days, and have so far decided on two things at least. I want to use the first four lines of Blake's poem, and I want to use the white tiger image shown above. How Blake's words and the tiger image will eventually shape themselves into a greeting card is a picture still unfolding.

Natural Testosterone Boosters
With long-term supplementation, the risks outweigh the advantages. Overdo it, as well as the DHEA may still convert to testosterone, but then it'll quickly break down, and be transformed to other hormones in the body, the most prominent being ADG.The bodily hormone ADG is just a growth factor for the prostate. ADG causes the prostate to increase in size that can be not a good thing! A plan which will enable you to nutritional supplement with DHEA twice a week.
Now, this does not imply that you only get the testosterone every 2 out of every seven days. It'll eliminate negative adverse effects. It'll prevent tolerance build up. Fortitude happens whenever you take a nutritional supplement for too many successive days, the body adjusts, and it stops working. Cycling DHEA with another testosterone boosters will prevent this from occurring. Taken this way, the pro bodily hormone avoids metabolic process by the liver, and goes directly to the bloodstream. During that time, use many of those natural T boosters to help keep your testosterone levels raised. As with the DHEA, take each for starters day only, then cycle off. Every one of those T boosters coax the body into creating it's own testosterone, naturally, therefore it is exceptionally unlikely you will suffer any adverse effects. If it is time to dose with the DHEA, take it again, also once more, cycle away it for 3 days before you dose again. Following this system, you will discover a very strong truth in your pursuit of optimum male bodily hormone levels.

Paul Kremer's paintings play games with art history
The piece: "Animal 08"
The artist: Paul Kremer
Where: In his show "One Way or Another," through Feb. 23 at Nancy Littlejohn Fine Art, 3465B W. Alabama
Why: Does this picture reduce the shape of a full-uddered cow to a few modernist lines, in the style of Pablo Picasso, or is it a more straightforward silhouette of a table with a bowl on top and a vase underneath? Or neither?
Don't let the title fool you: The ambiguity is part of the point — and the fun.
People who know modern art history love the perceptual games and references in Kremer's eye-teasingly simple but high-concept paintings. These works tend to look like they might be copies of some famous canvas.
"Kremer's abstractions will make anyone with a comprehensive mental database of abstract painting tropes go into 'Google image search' overdrive mode trying to find a match," writes Bill Arning, the gallery's curator, in an essay, "but Kremer deftly ducks the risk of exact appropriation."
A viewer might see shades of Ellsworth Kelly in the color field landscapes and flat, flimited palette Kremer employs for his "Window" series; or go buggy decoding whether the lines of the "Cast" series lead the gaze into or out of rooms with windows.
Kremer, who was born in Chicago and grew up in Houston, designed websites earlier in his career for A-list clients who included Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Lyle Lovett, PBS, MTV and National Geographic. He also was a co-founder of the Houston art collective I Love You Baby, which grew out of the wild atmosphere at Commerce Street Artist's Warehouse.
He gained a bigger following — and national attention — with his Instagram feed Great Art in Ugly Rooms, an ongoing, online exhibition of his Photoshopped images of famous artworks in deliberately low-scale surroundings. (The feed has nearly 27,000 followers.)
Now working full-time as an artist, Kremer has shown his paintings at galleries from Belgium to California. The critic Raphael Rubinstein, who wrote an essay for the "One Way or Another" catalog, describes the canvases as quickly executed but meticulously planned, sketched on a computer before they are "emphatically" made by hand.
That quality is part of their charm, too, although Kremer has a steady hand. Drips that look almost calculated run down the sides of unframed canvases, denuding any notions of slickness one might sense at first in the clean compositions.
While Kremer's Instagram project asks whether popular masterpieces "still look great without all the contextual clues of museum walls and wealthy living spaces," Arning writes, the artist's paintings "transpose highly referential modes of high abstraction into our present locations…(They) might be from the 20s, 50s, 70s, or the present." Arning calls the works time travelers.
Art background or not, you might also just call them a hoot.

I ended up getting to pole a little bit late. I was kind of bad before I left and ate some Poppycock. The sugar caused my blood sugar to take a dump while I was driving. I started sweating and got really sick. I had to stop for a soda to bring me back up. Then I ate some nuts to even me out. Lame. But I knew better. After gastric bypass surgery, I became very sensitive to sugar. It was especially stupid because I had been craving jellybeans that morning and I settled for regular popcorn. That was a huge win for me. So to eat candy-laced popcorn later in the day was just dumb dumb dumb on my part.
Anyway, I got to Twirly Girls and did pole class. Then I got into silks. I struggled with a few basic moves. Then my muscles just stopped working. I was also out of breath like I had run a mile. It was almost embarrassing. But my muscles failed me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pull myself up.
I was frustrated and irritated but I also realized that I was on my third class of the day. Even when I was in great shape I wouldn't do three classes a day. So my body reminded me that I am still a tiny, baby pole dancer. I need to take things slowly in order to truly get stronger.
Just because my body failed doesn't mean I am a failure at exercising. I am still taking every day one at a time. Today I had pilates reformer in the morning. I was going to hit up yoga after work but I think I will let myself rest. I'm physically exhausted today. Saturday, I have pole. Sunday I have yoga and a Santa Baby pole/chair workshop with Diana. So I have plenty of exercise in my near-future. And that will be enough.

(Always read the recipe twice, assemble, and prepare your ingredients before you begin to cook)
2 pkgs. (8 oz. each) of cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. (8 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. finely chopped onions
1 tbsp. chopped red bell peppers
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. lemon juice
Dash ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 cup pecans, toasted and then chopped fine
- Beat the softened cream cheese and cheddar in a small bowl with a mixer until blended
- Add all the remaining ingredients except the nuts
- Mix well
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap
- Refrigerate several hours
- Shape into a ball or whatever shape you'd like
- Roll in the chopped pecans
- Plate and surround with your favorite crackers
- means a teaspoon and tbsp. means tablespoon – always use a measuring spoon not a piece of silverware
- To toast whole pecans, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread the pecans on the baking sheet and bake them just until they become aromatic, about 5 minutes. Watch them very carefully as they can easily burn. Let cool and them chop in a food processor.
- Worcestershire sauce is complex and unique in its flavor and aroma, and frequently used to enhance some food and drink recipes. While the original recipe is closely guarded, it basically consists of barley malt vinegar, spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onions, garlic, spice, and flavorings believed to be soy sauce, lemons, pickles, and peppers. The ingredient that sets Worcestershire sauce apart from most sauces is the exotic tamarind, the fruit of Tamarindus indica or Indian date in Arabic. The pods, somewhat resembling a brown pea pod, contain thick, sticky pulp which has a consistency of dates and a spicy date-apricot flavor. After sitting for two years with periodic stirrings, the mixture is sifted of the solids and bottled. Lea and Perrins devised the recipe in the 1830s, and claims to be The Original Worcestershire sauce and may be the leading global brand of Worcestershire sauce, but other brands offer similar recipes. Some may be vegetarian or vegan, and may add other spices.

You treat them, but they just keep coming back. Acnecide can help. It targets and reduces the bacteria that cause spots by 95%.

Remember, if you do not see any improvement in your acne within the the first month of using, contact your doctor or pharmacist who will be able to advise on other treatment options.
Acnecide Gel is effective acne treatment that contains an active ingredient of hydrous benzoyl peroxide is extremely effective when treating acne as it attacks the bacteria known as Propionobacterium acnes which is one of the main causes of acne.Acne is a common occurrence in many individuals' lives and can often occur on the face, chest or back – give your skin a break today and use Acnecide Gel for a quick and easy solution to bad skin.

Assurance for Customers: Smartrac Gets ARC Quality Certification
The RFID Lab at Auburn University, highly regarded for its benchmark testing and certification of RFID products, has awarded Smartrac its comprehensive and significant ARC Quality Certification.
Smartrac has received ARC Quality Certification for the design and manufacturing of its RFID inlays and tags. This new industry benchmark complements ISO certification, and examines all aspects of an RFID supplier's operations, including (but not limited to) specific products and manufacturing processes. This is significant because the Auburn RFID Lab has long been known for its independent and objective testing and certification of RFID inlays and tags, thus giving customers the assurance and confidence of knowing that certified products are fit for purpose and will perform robustly and reliably.
Getting All the RFID Benefits
According to Justin Patton, Director of the Auburn RFID Lab, "Quality is of key importance for everyone who is looking to derive all the potential benefits from RFID tags attached to or embedded within products. We developed the ARC Quality Certification program to benchmark the quality management systems of RFID manufacturers across the entire range of their operations for the benefit of all RFID users worldwide."
Important Benchmark for Customers
Programs like ARC Quality Certification are very important indicators for customers from Smartrac's point of view as well. Existing standards like CE or ISO are well-known and recognized quality labels, but there has been a growing demand from the end-user side – be it retailers, consumer brands, automotive companies or aviation customers – for a trusted benchmark program like ARC Quality Certification.
Smartrac: Continuing to Drive Quality Further
According to Smartrac's Chief Revenue Officer Amir Mobayen, the program will support the RFID industry to become better recognized for strict quality levels and should help RFID adoption long-term, regardless of the end use industry. "ARC Quality Certification is a pivotal achievement and motivator for Smartrac, and it reaffirms our role as an industry leader in terms of high-quality and innovative RFID transponders. We are honored to receive this recognition and we firmly believe that the ARC Quality Certification program is a major step forward in terms of helping RFID manufacturers better serve their RFID customers. We will continue to invest in resources and programs to support future ARC initiatives to drive further quality achievements," he said.
For further information about Smartrac's RFID inlays and tags, please contact our Sales & Customer Service Team.

Julie, at almost 60 years old, was semi-retired and had been preparing to make a move down to Florida. She woke up when she wanted, worked when she wanted - despite some health issues, life was smooth. But two years ago, her adult daughter's opioid addiction changed the course of Julie's life. Her daughter, who had been living in Columbus, Ohio, was moved to Ironton, a small town on the border of Ohio and Kentucky, just west of the West Virginia state line so she could receive treatment for her addiction.
Julie told her daughter that while she was in recovery, she would come to Ironton and help raise her grandson, Isaiah. The arrangement was supposed to be temporary, but things quickly changed when her daughter left treatment. "When Children's Services contacted me, it was a nightmare," Julie said. She had significant health issues she was dealing with at the time but options were limited, either Isaiah would be put up for adoption (and she would run the risk of never seeing him again) or she could become his primary caregiver.
When Julie moved to Ironton to raise Isaiah she immediately enrolled him in Hanging Rock's Head Start program in Lawrence County. The program was a huge help in easing the transition to caring for Isaiah, and it was through Hanging Rock's Head Start parent engagement curriculum that Julie was connected with ReadyRosie. "It has helped me so much, when I look at the little videos, I think, oh my gosh, I would have never thought of that!"
It had been decades since she was responsible for a toddler. "It was an adjustment for both of us - he didn't know me and I didn't know him." Her life had gone from having little responsibility to "having a 2 year old who looked [to her] for anything and everything. And all of a sudden, fixing dinner was back, and laundry was back, and having to go to the grocery store and getting up in the morning, and school."
Having the Modeled Moments videos really helped Julie think differently about how to engage with her grandson in meaningful ways throughout the day. "It really has taught me how to talk with him. Period. So if we're in the grocery store, instead of just being in the grocery store and him being in the cart …since we've started doing ReadyRosie, being in the grocery store is an ADVENTURE, it's like, see if you can find this kind of a box - an oblong box, something with a pink circle, something long and thin… I just never… I just never would have done all that."
Isaiah has now been living with Julie for two years. He loves being on the local soccer team and enjoys school. Julie now volunteers as the Health and Nutrition Chair on the Head Start Parent Policy Council, and they're both active in their church community. In a recent council policy meeting Julie was describing the challenges of becoming a primary caregiver at her age and stage in life and exclaimed, "Thank God for ReadyRosie!" She expressed her gratitude for the program and the comfort and confidence it provided - knowing that she'll be receiving resources modeling language and conversations to support Isaiah's learning. Julie has worked hard with educators at Head Start to help Isaiah overcome the trauma in his early life, and says, "He's doing great…he's just a happy little fella. We laugh and sing and play everyday."

The Crazies
The Crazies tells the story of the small town of Ogden Marsh in rural Iowa and how it was consumed by madness and death. The sheriff of the town, David (Olyphant), is enjoying a high school baseball game when a man walks onto the field with a shotgun and David is forced to shoot him when he raises the weapon. Following the shooting, people in the town start to become afflicted with some sort of disease that slowly drives them into madness only leaving mindless killers. David bands together with his wife, his deputy, and several other survivors to escape the madness.
This is one of my favorite horror movies of the last decade, and it due to how solid everything is in the movie. Timothy Olyphant finally got a chance to star in a movie and he carries the movie on his back with a great charismatic performance. He plays the sheriff in the movie and is great in the role as he tries to protect everyone around with varying levels of success. This was the first time that a majority of the public was exposed to his talents and he has gone on to make one of the best shows on TV with Justified. He really needs to be pushed by Hollywood. Joe Anderson also delivers a quality performance as Deputy Russell Clank, and his role ranges from being David's protector to being completely unhinged all within the same scene in some cases and he really is a standout in the movie.
The story is fairly basic, town is poisoned by a virus and then the military comes to clean it up. What makes this movie rise above others is that this seems like it could actually happen in our modern day society. With all of the different types of biological weapons developed by this nation and others there may be something exactly like what we see in the movie in our own world. It is some scary shit when you actually take the time to think about it. More movies really need to start taking a real world approach to their stories because it makes them exponentially more terrifying if you can see them actually happening. It also helps when you have a director who makes every set piece in the movie an event within the movie and there is rarely anything that falls flat in the movie with the exception of Danielle Panabaker's performance. she just couldn't hold her weight against the superior actors in the movie and she is falling into the "all I can do is horror" class of actresses, that is a place you never want to end up.
This is the way that remakes should always be approached. Take an existing story and instead of trying to duplicate to word for word or shot for shot, make it your own. I have seen the original and the remake blows it out of the water. The acting is better, production values are higher (of course), and the story is more engaging. Acting and story are what hook you and the effects are the icing on the cake in my opinion. This is similar to the way the remakes for The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre were approached and it is no wonder why they are the best of horror movie remakes to this point.
This is one of my favorite horror movies of the last decade and is one of those movies that I will always take the time and sit down ad watch when it is on TV. Timothy Olyphant simply kills it in this movie and his performance is one of the main attractions of the movie. Check this out on Netflix, Redbox, or on Blu Ray, either way just go see this.

Good review Frank. Not perfect, but still very, very tense in terms of where it goes and how it goes about it. Wish there was a sequel to this coming-up, but yet, you never know.ReplyDelete

Bonnie Lord begins her 20th season at Plymouth State in 2019-20. Since joining the Panther staff prior to the 2000 campaign, she has guided the program to 17 winning seasons in 19 years, missing the postseason just twice during the span. Lord took PSU to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2000-02 and 11 ECAC New England Tournament berths, including ECAC championships in 2004, 2010, 2012 and 2014.
Lord recorded her 200th collegiate coaching victory in October of 2014, becoming the 22nd active coach and 37th coach in NCAA Division III history to reach the 200-win milestone. She enters the season with a career 247-123 (.668) record, ranking 14th in wins among active NCAA Division III coaches and 27th all-time. Her .668 winning percentage is 21st among active DIII coaches, and ranks 25th all-time.
PSU made eight consecutive ECAC post-season appearances under Lord from 2007-14, including seven straight ECAC championship games. The Panthers have won five Little East Conference regular season titles under Lord (2000-02, '05, '15), and garnered three straight LEC tournament titles from 2000-02.
A two-time LEC Coach of the Year honors (2000, '02), Lord was named the New England West Region Coach of the Year by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association in 2001. PSU's all-time winningest field hockey coach, Lord has led the Panthers to a 153-52 mark (.746) against LEC opponents.

Research and Journalism
"Working with Crossroads was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life in terms of both language and personal growth."
Ever wonder what Russians actually think about something? Learn the basics of journalism and field research from a local expert and let them guide your work. Explore Russia at street level on a theme of your choice. At the end, share your findings in a newspaper-style article.
Q: What is it like?
This internship combines small-group classroom instruction, hands-on field research, and intensive writing. It is led by the editor-in-chief of Downtown.ru, a popular Voronezh newspaper.
The first week is the classroom week — you refine your topic, learn how to gather information, and structure your research. You can explore any topic you like, and if you don't have one, that's OK. We can give you ideas. The second and third week is the research itself. You are out and about, doing interviews, observing, running surveys, etc. During the fourth week, you write. You can write in Russian or in English.
A Russian tutor is around the entire time to help out where your Russian isn't strong enough and some work may even be published.
For example, imagine that you want to see if Voronezh has any vegans — an oddity in a country that loves its meat and milk.
While out and about, you find that Voronezh actually has several vegan-friendly restaurants. The curator sets up an interview with the owner of one, who in turn recommends you visit a local yoga studio (and mention his awesome restaurant). At the studio, you learn that healthy living is very popular in Russia, particularly among young people. Your article shares this unique perspective based on your own first hand experience.
See below links to published articles:
Q: Where will I work?
Your official host will be the same local language academy that takes our English teaching interns. The organization will provide the necessary classroom or office facilities. But, remember, this internship is about meeting people. A lot of your work will take place off-site, wherever your research takes you.
Q: Where will I live?
You will stay with one or more host families (depending on the length of your program).
Your homestay is a place to rest and a glimpse into Russian family life. Your host family will likely be out during the day, so you won't get a steam bowl of fresh borscht every day. But, you do get a chance to sit together at the dinner table and chat about their day and yours. It's an experience you cannot replicate in a classroom.
Q: Is my Russian good enough to participate?
This internship requires at least 4 semesters of university-level Russian or equivalent. Heritage speakers are also welcome.
As part of the application process, we may ask you to take a short language test.
Q: How much Russian practice do I get?
You practice Russian basically everywhere. Your work will involve English, of course. However, outside of that, you can speak as much Russian as you like. With your host family, with your colleagues, students (if you have any), their friends... this internship is as immersive as you want to make it.
For that bit of extra practice, a tutor will be around twice per week to help you clear up anything you don't understand. Less focused on grammar and more on language use, these individualized sessions will help you better absorb what you see and hear.
Q: What about free time?
It will be a combination of the planned and spontaneous. You will have a few planned weekend activities, like a trip to a museum or a nearby town. Spontaneous opportunities will fill the other time. These will probably involve colleagues from your workplace or your host family. You are a special guest for these people, and it's almost inevitable that you will spend time with them.
Q: Where does this internship take place?
This internship takes place in Voronezh. Read a description of it on the locations page.
Q: When does it take place?
Internships take place during the summer, with start dates at roughly two-week intervals in May, June, and July. The application will ask you for your travel preferences. We will aim to get you started as close to your preferred start date as we can.
For logistical reasons, we require at least 4 weeks of participation. The maximum amount of time you can stay for a summer internship is 12 weeks.
Q: How much does it cost?
For a list of program fees for the different internship types and other estimated costs you may incur, see costs page

DC Comics has an early holiday gift for readers: They are giving away the first issues of their digital-first comics all week long, so you can load up your e-reader with Batman, Superman, even the Vampire Diaries.
The official press release says they are giving away one comic per day, but when I checked the DC digital store and the comiXology website this morning, both had all the comics available now, as did the DC and comiXology iOS apps. So you might as well grab 'em all now, so you'll have something to read while traveling or recovering from your turkey coma.
Here's the lineup, with the days in case they go back to doling them out one at a time:
Today: Legends of the Dark Knight #1
Wednesday: Batman '66 #1
Thursday: The Vampire Diaries #1
Friday: Smallville #1
Saturday: Batman Beyond #1
Sunday: Batman Li'l Gotham #1
Monday: Adventures of Superman #1
The nice thing about these comics (aside from being free) is that you don't have to be a hard-core superhero fan to enjoy them. DC's digital-first comics are designed to be accessible to new readers, so the stories are self-contained or very short, and you don't have to know all about some complicated backstory. It's like comics were when I was a kid! In fact, Batman '66 is based on the old Batman TV show that was on when I was a kid, and it has the same goofy humor and over-the-top graphic sensibility that that show had. This comic makes full use of digital-only techniques like having the background of a panel change, or a word balloon drop in, with every swipe. Adventures of Superman is more of a classic comic story, a well crafted, well drawn story of Superman fighting a villain with telekinetic powers. That means we get to see him fly through the air and throw around enormous objects—he even hoists a car into the air, in what may or may not be an homage to the cover of Action Comics #1. Anyway, you can't go wrong with any of these comics—they all feature talented artists and writers, and hey, the price is right! Just grab 'em now, before they disappear.

What is a Psychoeducational Assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment involves a standardized evaluation of a student's cognitive and academic abilities, as well as an evaluation of various information processing skills essential in learning (e.g., memory, oral language, phonological awareness, attention). It may also involve an evaluation of executive functioning, emotional regulation, social skills and problem behaviors.
A psychoeducational assessment can provide a clearer understanding of a student's overall learning profile, as well as their areas of strengths and challenges. It can be helpful for educational planning purposes, identifying appropriate supports, and learning how to build on the student's strengths. The assessment is conducted by a registered psychologist and is required by most school boards, colleges, universities, and professional licensing examination boards in the determination of student needs for accommodation.
If you require more information about psychoeducational assessments or would like to book an initial consult please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call/text 416-570-5050.

This whole recall not just mindless partisanship (though it was, since the whole point was to flip the legislature and the governorship instead of beating the bill); it wasn't just unbearably stupid (though it was, since the unions could've guaranteed a higher turnout if they had waited until November with Obama on the ballot); it wasn't just undemocratic (because it came about for the sole purpose of undoing what the 2010 electorate put in place); but it was unrepublican, a term that isn't thrown around often enough nowadays.
The recall mechanism, which is often paired with the reforms of the progressive era in order to provide an electorate a means to remove corrupt officials, is a horrible, dreadful, no-good device that sabotages the very republic upon which we're based. It, along with its filthy, repugnant cousins Referendum and Initiative, are particularly popular in the West. Want to ask California how those are holding up, where three-quarters of the budget is determined by initiatives and the legislature has to fight a two-thirds requirement to raise taxes? All these tools are designed to give the public an end-round alternative around elected legislatures and governors. Guess what?
We're not a democracy. Deal with it.
We elect representatives to make the decisions we, as an electorate, can't make on our own, because we don't have the time or resources to educate ourselves on the proper public policy to weigh benefits and costs, or because we're fucking cowards when it comes to making tough decisions, or because we don't really care. When we elect them, we make an implicit deal: yes, you can implement the programs you seek to put into place, but if we don't like them, we'll kick you out the next time elections come around.
Also implicit in this bargain: Short of doing something criminal (and getting caught, and convicted), we'll let you see your term through.
So you know what? I'm glad he didn't get recalled. Just like I didn't want Gray Davis to get recalled in 2003 (my first ever time voting). You know why? Because as big of a flabby dick as Scott Walker is, he's still an elected official, and that means he gets to push through the legislature whatever he can get away with it. If the people of Wisconsin don't like it, kick his ass out when his term is up.
Not before. Living in a republic means that representatives shouldn't have to live and die based on public opinion polls (no matter how much Frank Luntz would love them to). They get a little breathing room when it comes to their actual elected positions. I'm not saying we have to shut up and take it, or that we can't organize against a piece of legislation, or that we can't organize to replace his allies in the legislature with others when their terms come up.
But no. I'm drawing a line when it comes to actually removing them from their positions because we disagree with something they're trying to do. If it's unconstitutional, the courts will strike it down. If it's unworkable, the electorate will replace him and his ilk with those who will move to restore what he cut.
If this line isn't good enough for you, you should move to eliminate the whole republican system and move for a 50 percent plus one vote for everything. Because that's the only natural solution for recalls that will assuage the mob rule mentality being tossed around so brazenly in the name of social justice.

The 34-year-old Punia had 59.57m in her second throw and fouled her third and fifth attempts while coming up with a 58.54m in between. She had a final throw of 58.90m.
Punia, who was competing in her final CWG, was, though, well below her best. She has a season's best of 61.05m which she did while winning the gold in the Federation Cup National Championships last month. She has a personal best of 64.84m which achieved long time back in 2004.
Former world champion Australian Dani Stevens won the gold with a Games record best throw of 68.26m which she came up in her fourth attempt. – PTI

Time for shopping!
I went to the Kaufhaus Des Westens, aka the KaDeWe.
The ground floor is the usual assortment of perfumes. On the first floor they had women's clothing. I saw a nice jacket with very rustic thick topstitching on the lapels matched with a pretty floral ruffle front blouse. I found one on the rack. Hmm . . no price tag. I found one on another. €249. *choke*
An attendant administed defibrillation and I went to the 3rd floor ´lovely stationery, electronics, beautiful toys and €150 schoolbags.
The 4th floor was all lovely kitchenware. They had an Alessi section!
They also had Ritzenhoff glassware, but I didn't like any of this year's designs. Their bakeware section was very good, and surprisingly cheap. They sold 'blending spoons' for mixing batters, with a hole in the middle. The tins were very cheap and I nearly bought some.
I thought I would be kickjed out for asking where the plasticware was but they did have a plasticware section- lovely polycarbonate made in Italy. I bought a tumbler for €3.50.
Next was the reason I had come here – the gourmet floor.
They had every food you could think of – even dragonfruit. There was a suitably huge chocolate section, fresh and cured meats (bacon chips!), fish, prepared food, cheeses, spices, and imported things from the US.
Extremely disappointed I left and had lunch across the road, including a wuppi. This is a bread shortened with quark in the dough, and it's very nice. I walked down the Kurfurstendamm looking at the fancy shops.
It was all a bit schmancy. I took a subway up to Schloss Charlottenburg .
Entry was €12 so I just walked around the very agreeable gardens.
I took a train back to Spandau and looked around the old town.
My host was working late so I made my own dinner- I was finally able to try Maultasche – large pork and herb filled ravioli. Delicious.
