Yorkshire boasts some of Britain’s most spectacular coastal scenery. From the windswept Spurn Point jutting out from the lip of the Humber to the gentle charm of Staithes, it encompasses everything from dramatic clifftops, to wide, sprawling beaches and picturesque coves and inlets.
But while the likes of Scarborough and Whitby pull in the crowds from far and wide, Yorkshire is home to several lesser known, but equally impressive, stretches of coastline. None more so than the beach at Danes Dyke, a couple of miles from Flamborough, captured in this photograph.
Flanked by sheer chalk headland cliffs on one side and the chilly North Sea on the other, its pebbles contrast with the flat sandy beach which is revealed when the tide goes out.
Danes Dyke became a designated Local Nature Reserve in 2002 in recognition of its wildlife habitats and its importance to the nearby community.
Nature reserves like this aim to protect places of special interest and Danes Dyke is part of one of the finest coastal stretches along the whole east coast.
As well as being protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, its seabird colonies mark it out as a Special Protection Area. It is also home to a rich variety of marine life and in 1979 the area was designated a Heritage Coast.
Danes Dyke acquired its name from the ancient ditch and bank earthwork that cut through the reserve and once made Flamborough an impregnable fortress.
It runs for a couple of miles across the whole of the headland, from the nature reserve in the south to Cat Nab on the Bempton Cliffs to the north.
The soft chalk at Danes Dyke dates back 75 million years to the Cretaceous period and as well as being a great place to find fossils it also happens to be the country’s best location for collecting sponges – making it an ideal place for exploring, whether you’re a seasoned fossil collector or a family on a day out at the seaside.

Say hello to little Tayir (tai-year). This 25 gram parrotlet joined our flock in late 2015, and has been fitting in ever since. He loves food, bath time, and (to Ptak’s dismay) his big brother. I just realised that while I introduced him on the SwB Facebook page, I forgot to do so here!
Tayir is also a talker. He has many new words (a favourite being ‘Ptak’) and sound effects to match. I’ll try and grab some video to put up.
Mavi is unconcerned with Tayir, which is just as well, since I don’t let them out at the same time. (Mavi is much faster and more territorial.) And Ptak just really doesn’t know what to make of the new addition:
Like many parrotlets, Tayir is fierce, and has a mind of his own. Look for more birdy updates soon! | <urn:uuid:67e9ccc1-73c8-467f-b06a-7a6af6427f92> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://studentswithbirds.wordpress.com/2016/02/17/meet-tayir-dilute-blue-parrotlet/ | 2017-05-29T11:27:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612283.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529111205-20170529131205-00138.warc.gz | en | 0.983377 | 208 | [

So, you peed your pants at the end of the episode. So WHAT? You’re still pretty cool in my book . . .
If you’re like me, you’ve probably been following Degrassi’s The Boiling Point on Teen Nick this summer. And if you HAVE been following the show, you know that it’s season finale, entitled “All Falls Down,” aired tonight. Although the final episode didn’t push the envelope quite as far as I would have liked, I thought it was a fitting end to a surprisingly well-written, and enjoyable season.
Sure, it got off to a rather slow and awkward start . . .
“I don’t really know you that well. But you and I are both getting too old to be on this show. So, what do you say we get married, and ride off into the sunset together?”
. . . but somewhere around the halfway point, the show really hit its stride. And, before I knew it, I was hooked . . .
First transgender teen character on television? AWESOME!
So without further adieu, let’s take a look back on how it all ended, shall we?
Sav and Holly J. – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
*playing guitar and singing off key* “You’re my one, my only . . . [Insert your name here].”
Remember a couple of seasons ago when Sav was dating Anya . . .
. . . and she was mad at him, because he wouldn’t introduce her to his parents (even though they had been dating for six months), because she wasn’t a Muslim? No? Well, it happened. And to make it up to Anya, Sav serenaded her with the cheesiest, most ear-splittingly bad song, EVER! And it worked! Why? Because Sav is such a STUD MUFFIN . . .obviously.
Well . . . now, Sav and Anya are splitsville . . .
. . . and Sav has started making goo goo eyes, at Anya’s once B.F.F., Holly J . . .
. . . who . . . up until a few episodes ago . . . was swapping spit with THIS GUY . . .
. . . who once made out with his SISTER . . .
. . . who looks like THIS . . .
Hair: The Musical called . . . they want that outfit back . . .
. . . and is currently best friends with Holly J.
But I digress . . . so Holly J. and Sav are sort of / kind of together. And at Vegas Night, Sav shows his affection for Holly J. by . . . you guessed it . . . SINGING A CRAPPY SONG to her in front of the entire student body . . . a song that sounds suspiciously similar to the “Anya Song.”
It WORKS . . . AGAIN !
What is wrong with these girls?
Anyway, Holly J. gives thanks to Sav and his magical musical charms, by changing into a totally tarty outfit, and stripping for him in an abandoned classroom.
AND . . . then . . . just when things are starting to get exciting . . . the cops come and spoil EVERYTHING . . . (No money shot today!)
I’m thinking the public indecency charge is not going to look so hot on Holly J.’s Yale application. Just saying . . . I blame Stud Muffin Sav and his hypnotic (and by “hypnotic,” I mean “awful”) voice.
But believe it or not, the cops didn’t break up Degrassi’s Vegas Night due to a Sav-induced noise violation. So, why did they come, you ask? Well . . . we’ll get to that in a bit. We’ve got other slutty fish to fry first . . .
Some like it hot . . . in the Boiler Room
“I did a BAD, BAD thing . . .”
OK. So, where was I during high school, that no one EVER invited ME to the hottest room in the building to get “nekkid” with the cool kids?
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Bianca!
So, Drew, the Dumb Jock with a Heart of Gold, but NO self control WHATSOEVER . . .
Keep a bun on that weiner, boy!
. . . was dating the smart, but super self-absorbed and slightly promiscuous, Alli . . .
Except the “slightly” part of her promiscuousness was, apparently, not enough for Drew. So, HE eventually succumbed to the charms of SUPER SLUT from SLUTTY SLUTVILLE, Bianca . . .
. . . who inexplicably wears ugly ACID WASH mom jeans from 1982 . . .
. . . and once ALMOST got it on with Drew’s transgender step-bro, Adam . . .
Not only is Bianca a TOTAL HO, she also has a HUGE MOUTH (which, probably helped things along significantly in the Boiler Room, while these two were going at it).
At Vegas Night, Big Mouth Bianca tells Drew’s girl, Alli, about the illicit hookup. And then, when Drew tries to say the two just kissed, Bianca CORRECTS him, alluding to the fact that SHE kissed Drew . . . DOWN BELOW.
So, the now- heartbroken, still slightly- promiscious, Alli heads off to the Boiler Room with Big Bully, Small Willy, Owen . . .
. . . who offers her $50 bucks (Is that play money, or does Canadian cash actually look like that?) to kiss HIM . . . DOWN BELOW. But, like I said, Alli is only SLIGHTLY promiscuous. And, while she DOES want to make Drew jealous, the “Nether Region Kissing thing” is a no-go for her. So, Alli tells Big Bully, Small Willy, Owen, “Thanks, but no thanks.”
Then he tries to RAPE HER!
Fortunately, Dumb Jock with the Heart of Gold, but NO Self Control, Drew comes to her rescue!
But then Drew’s MOM, who is some “big important” school superintendent, or something . . .
. . . comes to the Boiler Room, finds the pair together, and automatically assumes that Slightly Promiscious Alli seduced her poor little innocent son, Drew. YIKES!
But that STILL doesn’t explain why the cops were at Degrassi . . . Not to worry. This will . . .
Here’s barfing at you, kid . . .
Smart, sensitive, slightly emo lovebirds, Eli and Clare, have TRULY been the REAL lovestory of this season.
Episode after episode, we have rooted for them, as they overcame eachother’s respective baggage (He sort of / kind of had a role in his ex-girlfriend’s death. She’s massively uptight, and her last boyfriend dumped her for a prettier, but much less intelligent, blonde.), and tentatively moved toward a surprisingly sexy romantic relationship.
Eli and Clare studying French . . . kissing.
But while Clare and Eli were moving deeper into one another’s pants, Eli was still grappling with the fact that his ass was getting kicked fairly regularly by his Nemesis, Trailer Trash Fitzy . . .
Eli and Fitz have been sparring for most of the season — with Eli using his wits to get the better of Dumb Bunny Fitz, and Fitz responding by repeatedly kneeing Poor Eli in the nuts. In an effort to evoke a truce between the two, the usually smart Clare inexplicably agrees to go to Vegas Night as Fitz’s date.
Ummm . . . riiiiiight, because the IDEAL way to stop your boyfriend from hating his nemesis, is to DATE that nemesis.
Understandably, Eli is pissed. He wants Clare to put some Ipecac in Fitz’s drink to make him puke. She refuses. So, at Vegas Night, Eli spikes Fitz’s drink with the “puke juice” himself, and tricks Clare into getting Fitz to drink it.
Infuriated and still smelling like vomit, Fitz goes to his locker, and gets a knife . . .
. . . and then THIS happens . . .
. . . just kidding . . . but wouldn’t that have been AWESOME?
What actually happens is that Clare sees Fitz with the knife, and rushes to tell Principal Simpson. THAT’S how the cops end up coming to the school, and finding Half Naked Holly J humping Sav in an abandoned classroom. And THAT’S how Drew’s superintendent (or something) mom ended up in the boiler room, where she found Slightly Promiscuous Alli doing precisely nothing but crying, and, yet, jumped to conclusions about her sluttiness, anyway.
Meanwhile, Fitz lunged at Eli with a knife . . .
. . . but never ended up stabbing him. Fitz DID make Eli piss his pants though. One bodily function deserves another, I guess. Now, they are even! Plus, Eli, my favorite character of the season, will live on to brood, smoulder, and drive around town in his cool hearse, another day . . .
Ultimately, Fitz was arrested. Principal Simpson then told his four once-favorite students that he was mad at them, and planned to make their lives miserable . . .
To prove it to them, he grabbed Fitz’s knife, and did THIS . . .
Kidding again! Sorry, I couldn’t help myself . . .
Well . . . there you have it. That was the Season Finale of Degrassi’s Boiling Point in a nutshell. What did you think of the episode? Did you enjoy the Boiling Point? Do you plan to watch Degrassi next season? Are you as much of Emo Eli fan as I am?

Welp, it’s Hump Day! Happy Wednesday guys and gals, it’s December 29 and there are only two more days left this year…WOW. They (I’m not sure who “they” are) say time flies when you’re having fun…and this year has flown by! The New Year holiday weekend is almost here, and there are tons of people heading to ski areas across the country to take on some incredible conditions!!
I also think this is a good time to “wrap up” the year in sports…so, here are a few memorable, or forgettable, sports controversies that happened this year, and maybe a few words on how I feel about them…
1. LeBron James went to the Miami Heat and announced it on a tv special called “The Decision.” Well, LeBron James is playing for the Miami heat with two other great ball players, and my guess is all the hype isn’t going anywhere until “the King” wins his championship. Time will tell.
2. FIFA doesn’t choose the United States or England to host the World Cup. In 2018 it’s going to Russia, and in 2022 it’ll take place in Qatar where temperatures in the summertime can hold steady in the 120’s. Yikes! Did someone get bribed?
3. Reggie Bush gave his Heisman back. I’m not a real big college sports football fan, well, I’ll watch it but I never really understand anything about who they players are, where they’re going in the next draft, etc. but I do know this was a big deal. I heard Mike and the guys in the office talking about college football all fall (GOO GAMECOCKS) so I’m learning a little more.
4. Cam Newton. Period. There’s been nothing BUT controversy surrounding the quarterback from Auburn. He didn’t get any money, but I guess his dad did? Who knows REALLY what happened. He’s still up for the Heisman?
5. Brett Favre may finally hang his helmet up. Last year the 41 year old QB had the year of his life, and this year he’s had the year of the interception! My opinion is that he could have gone out in style last year, and this year he’s just…OLD. No discredit to his career, but c’mon.
6. Tiger Woods cheating scandal. This one has been talked to death, but I just had to include it. Maybe sometime in the next season or two he’ll win a few tournaments and we can start talking about the great golfer he is again instead of how many women he was unfaithful with.
That’s my morning attempt at sports commentary. I’d like to take two seconds and say that we’re sending positive thoughts and vibes out to those skiers and riders who were on the lift at Sugarloaf in Maine yesterday. The freak accident that left seven injured has been attributed to high winds following this last storm that barreled up the east coast. So, we are thankful no one was killed and great job to the rescue teams!!
And here’s a look around!
Appalachian Ski Mountain -22°- Open 9am to midnight for Midnight Blast skiing! Conditions are excellent on 12 of 12 slopes with a base of 69-97 inches of snow!! Snowmaking ops continue as temperatures allow.
Beech Mountain -17°- It’s another beautiful day on Beech Mountain! With a 45-80 inch base and all 15 trails open, conditions continue to be awesome! Look for lots of fun and entertainment in the village! New Terrain Park features everyday! Tubing and ice skating are also open!
Cataloochee– 22°- Overnight snowmaking means great surface conditions continue at Cataloochee with all 16 of 16 trails open. Cataloochee is rocking a 57-91 inch base!! Tube World at Maggie Valley is open today as well as ice skating. There’s something for the whole family!
Sugar Mountain -15°- Open with 20 of 20 trails for skiing and riding on a 45-93 inch base with seven lifts running. Sugar is also open for ice skating and tubing and is planning a big New Year’s celebration!
Wolf Ridge Resort -26°- Open today with 17 of 20 trails open! Snowmaking conditions on un-open terrain! With an 85 inch base and packed powder surfaces, Wolf is still offering up killer skiing and riding. Night skiing is available and the tubing park is open!!
Bryce Resort – 23°- Bryce Resort is open with seven of eight slopes and all lifts running. Even though they’ve only gotten two inches of natural snow, the snowmaking team has put together an impressive 30-65 inch base for skiing and riding!! Tubing is also open at Bryce today!
Massanutten -27° – Snowmaking on some trails! Massanutten is 100% open today from 9am to 9pm! Day, twilight and night sessions are available! The CMB Terrain Park has some fun features: spine, pole jam, tall rail, roller, table, c-box. The Easy Street Terrain Park has a roller and couple of barrels.
Wintergreen – 23°- Open on 26 of 26 trails with 5 lifts operating. Wintergreen is open for day and night skiing and riding. The Plunge Tubing Park is open from 10am to 11pm. TERRAIN PARK: The Progression Park is open with: 10 ft box, 20 ft rail, double barrel shotgun rail, 2 progression rails, small and large propane tank rails, down rail, 2 small jumps, medium jump, 2 progression tables and a battleship rail. The Advanced Park is open with: Flat down rail, barrel bonk, big table, propane tank hip, fuel tank vert wall, leaning fun box. Incredible conditions at Wintergreen!!
Canaan Valley-17°- With the exception of December 19th, there has been snow reported at Canaan Valley every day since December 13th!! It’s unbelievable the amount and frequency of snowfall at Canaan!!! Conditions don’t get any better! Canaan is open on all 39 trails today with packed powder conditions!
Snowshoe Mountain – 17°- Open on 52 trails with 13 lifts running. I should start calling this section of the morning tour “Leave it to Laura” because, well, it’s her words…so here’s what she say, “After nearly 30 consecutive days of below freezing temperatures and more than 65" of natural snow, Mother Nature is turning on us a bit. Over the next few days we’ll experience a mild spell and possibly some rain. While that doesn’t sound like a skier’s forecast, with over 5 FEET of base across most of our slope system–and much more in some areas–Snowshoe is prepared for such a mild spell. We’ll see softer snow than we have for the majority of the past month, but our expert snowmaking and grooming team have built an amazing base that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. So you’ll have PLENTLY of snow to enjoy, and you just won’t have to wear as many layers! That’s a good thing, right?!? And don’t panic too much, because cold weather returns as we ring in 2011 on Saturday, and snow is once again in the forecast for Sunday! These mild periods are typical in the Southeast and we’re prepared for them! So there WILL be snow and PLENTLY of it across our open terrain for the remainder of the year! And Snowshoe continues to offer the region’s most open terrain with 52 slopes. Our grooming team should be getting to work shortly on Sawmill and Choker with hopes of opening those two expert slopes before the weekend. This mild spell and possibly a few raindrops will actually help us over at the Silver Creek area where the water reserve for our snowmaking operations is running low. Until we get those levels up, Bear Claw, Flying Eagle and the other slopes that remain unopened are on hold. But there is LOTS of room to play out there. The Northern Tract, Grabhammer, Knot Bumper, Skip Jack; it’s all been absolutely phenomenal for the past several days. Our Terrain Parks are looking perhaps the best they ever have and there’s a lot for you jibbers to play on.” Spruce Glades Terrain Park: Features available in Spruce Glades Large Park: 3 Flat rails,2 med jump,2 large jumps, un-bow box, snow box, rainbow box, flat down rail, down flat down rail, wall ride. Features available in the Powdermonkey Small Park: butterbox, surface box, 2 small rails, flat-down box, down box, and a small jump.
Timberline -17°- Open on 37 of 38 trails today!! Snowmaking continues on limited terrain! With a 42-68 inch base and tons of open terrain at Timberline, there’s plenty of shredding to be had by skiers and snowboarders alike!!
Winterplace– 24°- Open today on 26 of 28 trails with 8 lifts moving you guys and gals around! A few clouds will give way to sunshine today at Winterplace, and it’s setting up to be a great day on the mountain. Tubing is also open!! Get out there and have some fun!!!
Wisp Resort – 17°- Open on 32 of 32 trails with all 10 lifts running!! There are no snowmaking ops to fight with so it’s smooth sailing on packed powder conditions at Wisp. The whole resort including ice skating, tubing, and the Mountain Coaster are open and ready for fun!!
Ober Gatlinburg -25°- It’s a bit warmer at Ober today but conditions are still excellent! Open on 7 of 9 trials with a 30-55 inch base! Also open for tubing and skiing. Ober Gatlinburg definitely has something for everyone in the fam!!
That’s it folks. Tomorrow I’ll let you all know what kind of shenanigans are going on at the various ski areas for New Year’s Eve!! Have fun and send us pictures!!

A Cardiff councillor has been cleared by the Public Ombudsman after an allegation of “inappropriate use” of social media.
Councillor Keith Jones was suspended by the Labour Party in September over pictures he had “liked” of young girls on the website Instagram.
The party’s investigation, which is ongoing, related to his alleged use of the online photo sharing website after material was passed to party officials allegedly showing he had “liked” photos on Instagram of girls as young as 14.
A complaint accusing the Llanrumney councillor of breaking the Code of Conduct for local authority members was then made to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales in February.
The Ombudsman’s office has now finished its investigation and said it found there was no evidence of a breach of the Code of Conduct on Coun Jones’ part.
Elizabeth Thomas, director of investigations at the Ombudsman’s office, said: “Instagram is a public photograph sharing platform. It does not allow for indecent or obscene photographs. The ‘like’ feature is a commonly used feature which is intended to convey a public endorsement by the person sending the message which can be seen by other people. There is no element of secrecy to any information posted. Whilst Councillor Jones has responded to photographs using the ‘like’ feature or has engaged in online ‘discussions’ they appear to have been ‘two way’ conversations and I have seen nothing improper or indecent in any of the photographs or Councillor Jones’s online responses.”
Ms Thomas said that while the anonymised statements describe “behaviour which may, if proven, have been distasteful” they do not provide evidence of behaviour which could constitute a breach of the code.
She said witnesses were not prepared to be identified and so her office was not able to interview them to gain any further information.
She added: “In any event, many of the messages sent, and behaviour described, occurred before Councillor Jones became an elected member and are therefore not matters which the Ombudsman can take into account.”
A spokesman for Welsh Labour said the party’s investigation into Councillor Jones’ conduct continues and that he remains suspended from the party.
Coun Jones said: "I am relieved that these allegations have been investigated and dismissed. I am now eager for the party to complete its deliberations without delay to enable me to resume my membership of the Labour Group as was the democratic wish of the voters of Llanrumney.
"I intend to play a full and active part in the party's future efforts to address some of the biggest challenges local councils have ever had to face."
Fellow Labour councillor Siobhan Corria said: “Keith has been suspended from the Labour Party for nearly a year and has conducted himself with dignity in the face of anonymous and unsubstantiated accusations.
“I just hope to see things resolved for him and his family as soon as possible.” | <urn:uuid:d9991fec-27ee-43cb-bf26-b8cdab6ea4eb> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/councillor-keith-jones-cleared-breaching-7561828 | 2017-05-23T00:37:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607242.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20170522230356-20170523010356-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.975977 | 628 | [

Chicco is launching their new Fit2 Rear-Facing Only Infant & Toddler Seat this month and I was lucky enough to receive one of the very first production models for review. This may have been my favorite Christmas present but don’t tell my husband or kids that I said that. 😀
Fit2 is an innovative new product that fits children in 2 stages, infant and toddler. Initially, it’s an infant seat rated down to 4 pounds. Just like the popular KeyFit infant carseat, the Chicco Fit2 will be an excellent option for newborns and preemies too. But unlike other infant seats, Fit2 transitions into a stage 2, rear-facing seat for toddlers 9-24 months. The “magic” is in the base which has a infant setting and a toddler setting. The infant setting places the carrier in a reclined position that is necessary for newborns and younger babies. The more upright setting is appropriate for toddlers 9-24 months who are crawling or walking already, and offers the child some extra legroom.
I’m sure many of our savvy readers are wondering if this is just some gimmick or if Fit2 can really deliver on its promise to fit toddlers comfortably up to 24 months. Well… wonder no more because this seat delivers and I’m officially in love. I’m talking pink sparkly hearts with rainbows and unicorns love. 😛
Fit2 retains everything we know and love about the KeyFit and adds a 7-position no-rethread harness, an anti-rebound bar on the base (Chicco refers to this as a “stabilizer bar”), premium Italian fabrics (it’s actually made in Italy), European beltpath routing for installations without the base and you can get a lot more use out of it before your kiddo outgrows it. How do you say, “winner, winner, chicken dinner” in Italian?
Chicco Fit2 Specs & Requirements:
- Age: Birth to 12 months
- Weight: 4-35 lbs.
- Height: less than 35″, top of head at least 1″ below top of headrest (with harness straps in appropriate height setting)
- Handle can be in any locked position in vehicle
- Age: 9-24 months
- Developmental stage: Child must be crawling or walking
- Weight: 15 – 35 lbs.
- Height: less than 35″, top of head at least 1″ below top of headrest (with harness straps in appropriate height setting)
- Handle position in vehicle: it is recommended (but not required) that the carry handle be rotated all the way down and out of the way when using Fit2 for toddlers
- Canopy: can be easily removed if it’s not useful anymore
- Removing carrier from base: When your baby isn’t a baby anymore it is recommended that you just leave the Fit2 carrier in the vehicle most of the time (like it’s a convertible). This isn’t a requirement but honestly, once you have a heavy toddler you don’t want to lug them around in a carseat that just makes them even heavier. However, it is nice to have the option to do that from time to time when you decide it’s worth the effort.
- 7-position no-rethread harness with pull-tab adjuster located on top of headrest
- 2 buckle positions
- Energy-absorbing EPS Foam
- Newborn positioning insert for babies 4- 11 lbs.
- Base has 4 recline positions (for proper angle on your vehicle seat), plus 2 different “Stage” options (Infant & Toddler)
- Stage 2 toddler position makes seat sit more upright in base and increases leg room without taking up any additional space in vehicle
- Anti-rebound bar (a.k.a., stabilizer bar) on base
- Lockoffs on base for easy installation with seatbelt
- Liquid bubble level indicator on base
- Premium push-on lower LATCH connectors
- Shoulder belt guide on back of shell for optional European beltpath routing when installing carrier without base
- 4-position handle can be in any locked position in the vehicle
- Handle position can be rotated with one hand
- Harness strap covers for neck/shoulders & separate set for hips/thighs
- Full-sized canopy
- FAA approved for use on airplanes
- 6 year lifespan before expiration
- Made in Italy
- Cover and canopy made from premium Italian fabrics
- MSRP $279.99
Initially, Fit2 is offered in 2 fashions – “Legato” and “Fleur“. I’m sure there will be more options down the road but for now, these are the choices. The review sample I have is Legato. Fleur has a subtle flower pattern on the sides and on the canopy. Both are made with fine Italian fabrics and the fit and finish is very high quality.
Inserts and strap covers – The Fit2 model I have comes with a lower body newborn insert cushion (Chicco calls this the “newborn positioner”), a separate headrest insert that attaches to the adjustable headrest, a buckle cover, harness strap covers (aka “shoulder pads”) and extra strap covers that go over the hip straps. These hip strap covers are attached to each other under the cover so they stay in place. The buckle cover attaches securely to the buckle so it won’t fall off accidentally and get lost. The newborn lower body cushion is only for babies 4-11 lbs. Once your baby weighs more than 11 lbs., remove this insert. You can continue to use the additional headrest insert for as long as you feel it is beneficial. The shoulder pads, hip pads and buckle cover are entirely optional.
Fit2 base – this very unique base packs a ton of great features. It has a 4-position spring-loaded recline foot, a dual stage base lever, lockoffs for ease of installation when using lap/shoulder seatbelt, Chicco’s patented one-pull center LATCH strap with “SuperCinch” force-multiplying system inside, liquid bubble level angle indicator and a “stabilizer bar” (aka, anti-rebound bar). They chose to use the term stabilizer bar to convey the message that this feature provides a more stable installation with more vehicle seat contact. Of course, it will manage rebound in a frontal crash too but most consumers don’t know what rebound is so it makes sense to market that feature in a way that more people can understand and appreciate.
The Fit2 base is completely different from the Chicco KeyFit infant base and they are NOT cross compatible. In other words, you cannot use a KeyFit base for a Fit2 carrier or vice versa. They won’t snap in or even remotely appear to fit together. This is a good thing.
Below you can see the “base stage lever” in the two different positions. There are sticker labels on that lever that clearly indicate which mode you are in. There is also a “window” on the side of the base that will clearly display the stage you are in.
The more upright, Stage 2 setting, positions a toddler in a more comfortable position (this is the I-want-to-sit-up-and-see-the-world developmental stage!) and it also increases leg room. What’s it doesn’t do is take up more front-to-back space in Stage 2. That’s a big deal since extra space in the backseat is a luxury many people don’t have.
Pictured below is a 2016 Hyundai Tucson with very limited room in back for a rear-facing seat. The back of the front seat was just barely making contact with the back of the carrier. There was no guidance in the manual on this issue so I double-checked with our contact at Chicco and was told that they DO allow their rear-facing carseats to lightly touch the back of the vehicle front seat.
Generally speaking, unless the carseat manufacturer specifically mandates a certain amount of space between the rear-facing carseat and the back of the front seat in the instruction manual, very light contact between the two is acceptable. Many of us like to use the “piece of paper analogy” (if you can slide a piece of paper between the two, it’s okay) although that isn’t an official stance from any manufacturer, agency or organization to my knowledge. It’s just something that someone made up years ago and we all said, “hey, that makes sense and it’s easy for parents to comprehend – we’re going to use that analogy”! Lol.
Anyhow, in this small SUV space is a precious commodity so if you are installing the seat in an outboard position, you really want to give the driver or front seat passenger as much room up front as possible without putting any actual pressure on the point of contact. In the pics below the driver’s seat remained in the same position and you can see that Fit2 took up the same amount of room in both stage positions. I had similar results in the other vehicles I tried as well but so much depends on the shape, contour and position of the front seat so… your mileage may vary!
Stage 1 recline (1st pic), Stage 2 recline (2nd pic). Note – newborn insert was left in the seat during the photo shoot but the insert is only for babies up to 11 lbs., so it should never be used in the stage 2 toddler position.
The no-rethread harness on Fit2 has 7 height settings that range from about 6″ (with the newborn insert cushion) to about 13″ high without the insert. These measurements are all a little subjective because it depends on where you spot the bottom of the tape measure. The adjustable headrest extends above the shell in the top 3 height positions and this gives your toddler a significant amount of additional growing room.
- 7-position adjustable headrest
- Lowest harness height with newborn insert: about 6″
- Lowest harness height without newborn insert: about 8″
- Tallest harness height: about 13″
- Crotch strap/buckle positions (without insert): 4.5″, 6″
- Internal shell height: 22.5″ at max height setting
- Width of base at beltpath: 9″
- Width of base at widest point: 15.25″
- Width of carrier at widest point: 17″ at handle hubs
- Carrier weight: 11.2 lbs. (according to my digital bathroom scale)
The harness straps should always be positioned “at” or “slightly below” your child’s shoulder level. Your child has outgrown Fit2 when they reach 35″ tall or 35 lbs. or if their head is within 1 inch of the top of the headrest in the maximum height setting (whichever comes first).
Preemies and low-birthweight babies:
Fit2 is rated from 4 lbs. and most preemies and low-birthweight babies will fit very well in this seat using the newborn positioner insert cushion.
Preemie doll is 4 lbs., 17″. Harness strap covers and additional headrest insert were removed.
Even though the extra headrest support insert that comes with the seat is designed to provide additional support for a newborn’s small head, you probably want to remove it for a preemie. I know that is counterintuitive but in these cases you want to avoid placing anything extra behind the head that doesn’t have to be there. The section of the additional insert that goes behind the baby’s head only has a little bit of padding in it but sometimes even a little bit is enough to create a problem with the airway.
Average newborns and older babies:
My 20″ newborn doll (aka “Baby Jack”) is pictured below with the newborn insert cushion. I opted to remove the harness strap covers and the extra headrest insert again since I’m firm believer that less is more when properly securing a newborn.
Baby C is 7 months, 14 lbs., 25″ tall. She doesn’t meet the criteria to use the stage 2 position yet but she will fit in this seat for a long time because she’s a peanut. Since she weighs more than 11 lbs., she does not use the newborn insert. However, she can continue to use the additional headrest insert cushion that I removed in my pictures with the Jack doll and the preemie doll..
Okay, I know this is what everyone wants to see. Can kids really fit in this seat until they are 2 years old? Keep in mind that there will always be exceptions for kids who are near the top of the growth charts (or off the charts) or for toddlers who just have really long torsos. However, for the most part, yes – kids will fit in the Fit2 until 24 months! Some kids will fit longer than that.
Child pictured is 26 months, 30 lbs., 36″ tall. Technically she is too tall to use this seat since she is over the 35″ stated height limit but as you can see in the closeup (last pic), she still had about 2 inches of headrest above her head in the max height position. This child is in the 75th percentile for both weight and height at 2 years, 2 months. She fit very nicely, had enough extra harness length to accommodate a sweater or light (non-bulky) jacket and she easily had enough leg room to make herself comfortable.
In comparison, this seat (on its max height setting) measures about as tall as an Evenflo Tribute or Graco ComfortSport convertible. And it’s only 1.5″ shorter than a Britax Roundabout G4 or Cosco Scenera Next. For a rear-facing only seat, it’s really tall! Taller than any other rear-facing only seat currently available.
Installation with lower LATCH anchors –
Only install the base with LATCH in a dedicated LATCH seating position (anchor bars must be 11″ apart). Most vehicles do not have lower LATCH anchors for the center seating position and Chicco does NOT allow installation with non-standard LATCH spacing. Check your vehicle owners manual to determine where the LATCH seating positions are in your vehicle. If you want to install Fit2 in the center seating position but your vehicle only has LATCH in the outboard seating positions – no sweat, just install with seatbelt in the center and use the lockoff. More on seatbelt installation below.
There are no weight restrictions for installing Fit2 with LATCH. You may use LATCH to install the Fit2 base for any child under the 35 lb. weight limit.
It’s sooo easy to achieve a tight installation of the base using the lower LATCH connectors. It takes less than 15 seconds and most of that time is spent connecting the LATCH attachments to the lower anchor bars in the vehicle. For our readers who are familiar with how easily the KeyFit base installs – it’s just like that. The center, one-pull LATCH strap is almost identical to the one on the KeyFit base and makes it so easy to get a proper installation. Even though you can’t see the “SuperCinch” force-multiplying system inside the base – that’s what is assisting you when you pull on the strap. Unlike some other carseat installations – you will still need to go to the gym for your daily workout after installing Fit2. Lol.
Fit2 installed in my 2005 Ford Freestar minivan. Stage 1 & Stage 2. Ignore the newborn insert in the second pic, it should never be used in the stage 2 toddler position.
Ram 1500 Crew Cab pickup (full sized back seat). Again, ignore the newborn insert in the stage 2 pic. 😉
Allowable overhang – Chicco states in the manual that no more than 4″ of base may extend past the edge of the vehicle seat cushion.
Rear center position of the Ram 1500 is NOT compatible with Fit2. The ridiculous indented center seating position in the backseat of all Ram 1500 pickup trucks isn’t deep enough to support the base (or the carrier installed without the base). If you own any model year Ram 1500 with a backseat (Crew Cab, Quad Cab, or Mega Cab), you will have to install Fit2 in one of the outboard seating positions.
Once your base is installed tightly, make sure the tail of the LATCH strap is rolled up and tucked into the little recessed area meant to store it out of the way. A loose tail end of strap could interfere with the attachment of the carrier to the base and you obviously don’t want that to happen.
Installation with seatbelt –
Very easy to install properly with seatbelt thanks to the lockoff built into each side of the base. There are two shoulder belt lockoffs (one on each side of the base) but you only use ONE lockoff. Don’t use the lockoff closest to the buckle. Use the one on the opposite side from the main buckle for that seating position. If you are installing in an outboard seating position – use the lockoff on the door side. Only the shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt slides into the lockoff. You do NOT need to switch the seatbelt into locked mode if you are using the lockoff. Doing so may cause the base to tilt to one side over time.
Seatbelt installation requires a bit more effort because you don’t have a force-multiplying system helping you out but it’s still quick and easy. Chicco has some great installation videos on their Fit2 website here.
In the 2016 Hyundai Tucson (small SUV) pictured above and below, I found that installing Fit2 in the center seating position with seatbelt gave both the driver and the front seat passenger more room to move their seats back. However, I was worried that I might not be able to get a good installation in this position because the seatbelt geometry is weird. In this vehicle the center seatbelt originates from the ceiling in an offset location, the belt is detachable and the mini-buckle that you need to click into first is positioned forward of the bight. In plain English that means this seating position is a pain in the butt and is incompatible with some child restraints because you just can’t get a good, tight installation with seatbelt and there is no LATCH in this position. But Fit2 handled this challenging seatbelt design with relative ease. I did have to put some muscle into pulling the seatbelt tight before feeding the shoulder belt into the lockoff but it with good technique, it still took less than 30 seconds.
Installation without base –
Fit2 can be safely installed without the base. There are two different ways to install the carrier directly to the vehicle but both require a seatbelt that has a pre-crash locking feature because you don’t have a lockoff to use anymore (the lockoff is only on the base). All cars made after 1996 have seatbelts with pre-crash locking features so this shouldn’t be an issue but you need to understand how the seatbelts in your vehicle lock before you attempt a baseless installation. Most (but not all) vehicles have switchable retractors which switch into locked mode when you pull the shoulder belt all the way to the end. If you plan to install Fit2 without the base – check out the installation video on Chicco’s Fit2 website here.
Fit2 offers you the option to route the seatbelt the traditional way or the European way. Euro routing requires you to wrap the shoulder belt behind the carrier. It’s a nice option but some seatbelts aren’t long enough to allow this. If you don’t have enough belt length to go behind or if you just prefer to install with the traditional belt routing, that’s fine. You should be able to achieve a snug installation either way. Euro routing has its benefits but traditional routing is also safe and effective (and takes less time).
Traditional belt routing: Only the lap belt portion of the seatbelt is routed through the gray belt guides on both sides of the carrier. Seatbelt is locked, red line on sticker label is level to ground (indicating a proper recline angle) and the carrier is installed tightly.
European belt routing: Only the lap belt portion of the seatbelt is routed through the gray belt guides on both sides of the carrier but shoulder belt is routed behind the shell and through the grey belt guide back there. Seatbelt is locked, red line on sticker label is level to ground and carrier is installed tightly.
It might be possible to use Fit2 on strollers made by other manufacturers using the adapters they offer for the KeyFit but I haven’t been able to test that out yet so I’m not sure how likely that is. Ultimately, it will be up to the other stroller manufacturers to decide if Fit2 works with their existing KeyFit adapters.
FAA Approval/Lifespan/Crash Guidelines/Inflatable Seat Belts:
- FAA certified for use on airplanes
- 6 year lifespan before expiration
- Must be replaced after any crash
- Installation with inflatable seat belts is NOT allowed. If you have a vehicle with inflatable seatbelts, use the lower LATCH anchors in those seating positions to install the Fit2 base.

- Made in Italy
(In fairness, these aren’t necessarily problems but I list them here to inform potential consumers of specific Fit2 issues)
- At 11 lbs., the carrier is 1.5 lbs. heavier than the Chicco KeyFit 30 but that’s the trade-off for getting a much bigger seat with more bells and whistles and premium Italian fabrics. Truthfully, all infant seats are heavy when you have a 10+ lb. baby inside. Spare your back, arms and thighs by using a stroller, a Chicco Caddy, or invest in a good sling/baby carrier and just leave the carseat in the vehicle.
- Not widely available. Babies R Us exclusive (for now).
- Only 2 fashions initially, “Legato” & “Fleur”, and both are black (I’m sure there will be more cover options in the future)
- Removing the cover to wash it and put it back on is cumbersome but not horrible. Chicco has a great video tutorial to walk you through both the off and back-on process here.
- In stage 2, it’s more difficult to find that “sweet spot” to connect carrier to base. I’m sure it gets easier with practice but I fumbled around each time I needed to connect the carrier to the base in stage 2. Eventually, you’ll probably just leave the carrier in the vehicle (which is what they recommend anyway) and it will be a non-issue.
The Bottom Line:
Chicco hit this one out of the park. If you’re expecting your first child, the Chicco Fit2 can offer you all of the conveniences of a typical infant seat for potentially twice as long. Plus you’re getting all the perks of owning a Chicco carseat – safety, comfort, ease of installation, ease of use and great customer service.
If you’ve been down this parenting road before and you cry every time your baby outgrows the infant seat (usually in the middle of winter), this seat could make you a very happy camper next time around. It can also be a godsend for parents of really big babies who outgrow typical infant seats very quickly. I had one of those gigantic babies in 2004 and I really wish I could go back in time and give myself a Fit2. It would have made my life so much easier that first winter. But I digress…
Currently, the Chicco Fit2 is available only at Babies R Us. Eventually this seat will be available at other retailers but right now it’s a BRU exclusive.

On podcasts for writers
With the shuttering of Iain Broome and Donna Sorenson’s Write For Your Life podcast last month (the promised final episode 159 seemingly lost in the ether), I thought I would take the timely opportunity to list a few of the other writing-related podcasts to which I occasionally listen, in the hope that someone else may discover a new distraction or inspiration.
First on my list, and probably my favourite of those I listen to regularly, is Scriptnotes, a weekly podcast by screenwriters John August (Big Fish, Go, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Craig Mazin (The Hangover Parts II & III, Identity Thief). As you might expect, it focuses on the craft of screenwriting rather than writing in general, but there is still plenty of writing advice, particularly relating to plot and structure, that is applicable to any writer, and the occasional detours into topics such as credit arbitration and Writer’s Guild of America politics are still entertaining and informative, thanks to the hosts’ well-polished relationship and knowledgeable banter.
I Should Be Writing
Probably the longest-running podcast on this list, I Should Be Writing is hosted by multi-award winning sci-fi/fantasy writer, Mur Lafferty, a 12-year veteran of the podcasting scene and winner of the 2007 Parsec Award for Best Writing Podcast. What started as “a podcast for wanna-be fiction writers by a wanne-be fiction writer” has evolved into a sporadic and at times rambling series of updates as Mur variously updates her listeners on her own publishing success (her debut novel, The Shambling Guide to New York City, was released in 2013), her thoughts on the craft of writing and the industry that surrounds it, and interviews other genre writers at conventions around the US, as well as answering listeners’ questions from time to time.
The Writing Excuses podcast is another group effort, this time with four simultaneous hosts, but is a lot shorter than most. The four writers involved — epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, The Wheel of Time), Hugo award-winning sci-fi author Mary Robinette Kowal, horror writer Dan Wells, and webcomic creator Howard Tayler — spend a nominal fifteen minutes each week discussing a specific writing topic, and offering advice to their listeners on how to avoid common pitfalls. Topics range from large (where ideas come from, picking a genre) down to very specific (world building for role-playing games was a recent example), and they close each episode with a writing prompt. The bitesize format makes it very easy to dip into and out of, and the group have been together long enough that they know how to play to one another’s strengths during their often animated discussions.
Finally, this is a newer one for me, so I’ve only listened to a couple of episodes. The three hosts of the Typehammer podcast don’t talk all that much about writing, as far as I can tell; instead, the focus of their show is the technology we use to help us write. Each week they discuss new software or websites that have at least a tangential relationship to writing, in between teasing each other about their lack of actual writing progress. Personally, I’m pretty happy with my writing technology stack (Scrivener, Tumblr, Ghost, and The Magic Spreadsheet), so I don’t know if I’ll keep listening, but I did discover audio focusing website, brain.fm, via a recent episode of Typehammer, and am in fact listening to its “Relaxing” focus music now, which apparently will help me to concentrate on the work at hand more effectively. You can judge for yourself whether the results are worth it.
So, those are my current podcast recommendations. I do plan, at some point, to refresh my list and see what new possibilities are out there; Iain Broome recommended both The Creative Penn and the Tea & Jeopardy podcasts, so I may well have to check those out soon.
If you have any recommendations for alternatives, I’d love to hear about them in the comments. | <urn:uuid:079b689c-9d8a-4581-9afd-ee1d8d4adba7> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://thewatchmakerproject.com/on-podcasts-for-writers/ | 2017-05-23T22:33:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607704.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523221821-20170524001821-00534.warc.gz | en | 0.955809 | 863 | [

In the silence of night
when dim was the light;
Something tripped me
A divine feeling gripped me
"Do not waste time";
like a star you have to shine',
These words were whispered by someone in my ear
I wondered who was the one for me who did care!
Then I realized it was my conscience, my own soul
which was prompting me to achieve my goal.
It knew that I was bold
& for great achievements I would mould.
This faith in myself worked wonders
it stopped me from committing blunders-
Somewhere down the line I knew I had to do something,
After all I'm not here on this earth to waste time;
Just dance, play, sing and listen to grape-wine
Only strong can face the strong
To right even the grievous wrong
Same way, being dark itself the night,
dispelled the darkness to give me light.
That was the time I promised to change myself,
& found that Parents, Teachers and Friends were ever ready to help.
I changed & found failures to be stepping stone to success.
Found sorrows compared to joys to be less-
Wonderful was that night, which forever turned my life bright-! | <urn:uuid:50b1c4dc-ed1a-46ea-a44d-6aa5c8590943> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Poem&PoemID=2404 | 2017-05-23T22:43:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607704.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523221821-20170524001821-00534.warc.gz | en | 0.975918 | 259 | [

The Grey Lynn peeping tom has struck again.
Auckland police are alerting residents to be vigilant about their security while they investigate further reports of a prowler in the area.
It comes after the Herald reported in March that a tech-savvy pervert was taking advantage of Auckland's hot and sticky nights to reach through open windows and film people.
The man is understood to have images or film of several people on his cellphone, which he lost in a scuffle with a rattled victim.
Police said they were called to a house in Grey Lynn about 11pm yesterday after a resident reported a man using a cellphone to film occupants through a window.
The offender fled.
A police dog and handler attempted to track the man down, but he could not be found.
Police believe it is highly likely the offender is the same man who struck in Grey Lynn in February and March. He reached through a window to film occupants on a least one occasion.
Detective senior sergeant Marcia Murray said an accurate description of the offender had not yet been obtained.
"Because this is happening late at night it is dark and so not the best visibility," she said.
Ms Murray said police were following lines of inquiry but in the meantime they were reminding people to remain vigilant of home security and to report all sightings of suspicious people in the area to 111.
"Unfortunately there are people who will take advantage of situations where windows aren't adequately locked, or where curtains or blinds are open," Ms Murray said.
"The weather remains quite warm so people may choose to keep windows open but we'd encourage everyone to think about putting windows on a security lock, just to be sure."
The Herald has previously reported that on February 25 a Grey Lynn woman saw a forearm hanging through her open window. The man was holding a cellphone and filming her.
The woman ran over and hit the man's arm to make him go away. The cellphone dropped to the floor and was later handed to police, who found images of several people on the phone.
The woman had left her window ajar to try to get cooler air circulating during Auckland's nightly heatwave.
Police were aware of similar incidents in the same week.
University of Canterbury criminologist Professor Greg Newbold said at the time incidents such as this were likely to happen because of the prevalence of cellphones.
The latest available figures from the Ministry of Justice show 128 people were convicted of offences relating to intimate visual recordings in the five years to 2014. | <urn:uuid:748986ce-df87-4856-a7ad-fa7fb0c4d050> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11634159 | 2017-05-25T23:41:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608617.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525214603-20170525234603-00559.warc.gz | en | 0.982928 | 512 | [

WACO, Texas (AP) Robert Griffin threw for a career-best 380 yards with two of his three touchdowns to Josh Gordon, who turned a short pass into a school-record 94-yarder, and Baylor beat Kansas 55-7 Saturday for its most lopsided conference victory ever.
The Bears (4-1, 1-0 Big 12) had never won a Big 12 game by more than 28 points. Their largest conference margin had been a 47-point Southwest Conference victory over Arkansas in 1922.
It was the first Big 12 game for new coach Turner Gill at Kansas (2-3, 0-1).
Griffin passed for 288 yards before halftime, only nine shy of his previous mark set in Baylor's last home game three weeks ago. He finished 26 of 36 and ran eight times for 64 yards with a 1-yard TD before coming out after three quarters.
His 444 total yards were a single-game school record, as were the 678 yards for the team.
Griffin hit Gordon in stride in the end zone for a 39-yard TD on the opening drive. Late in the first half Griffin dumped a pass in the right flat to Gordon, who avoided a desperate diving tackle attempt by a linebacker then sprinted untouched along the sideline in front of the Kansas bench for the 94-yarder.
The Jayhawks have never won in Waco, going 0-5 including losing all four since the inception of the Big 12 in 1996. No other league team has lost more than twice there in that span. The Jayhawks' losses there in 1998 and 2002 were the bookends to Baylor's 29-game conference losing streak.
Griffin threw an 11-yard TD pass midway through the third quarter, though he went a lot farther. Griffin went back to the 30 retrieving a snap over his head, then ran toward the left sideline fleeing defenders before throwing against his body to Terrance Williams wide open in the end zone.
When Kansas got the ball back, Tim Atchison intercepted a pass thrown by Jordan Webb and returned it 14 yards for a touchdown to make it 48-7.
Williams also caught a 50-yard touchdown on a double-pass play from fellow receiver Kendall Wright.
Griffin's 1-yard keeper early in the second quarter put Baylor up 17-0, though he had to do it twice after officials nullified the first one because they were reviewing a 34-yard catch by Williams on the previous play.
Last season, Griffin didn't even make it into Big 12 play because of a torn ACL in his right knee suffered in the third game. In his comeback this season, he already has passed for 1,351 yards and 11 TDs while running for 221 yards and four scores.
Aaron Jones kicked a 50-yard field goal on the final play of the first half for a 27-7 lead, after he had given the Bears a 10-0 lead less than 5 minutes into the game. His 10 field goals are already one more than two Baylor kickers combined for last season.
Baylor's opening drive was five completions by Griffin, including the 39-yarder to Gordon wide open in the end zone. Webb was then sacked and stripped, setting up Jones' first field goal.
Kansas had gone consecutive games without a turnover for the first time since 2007, but had four against Baylor.
Webb finished 16 of 28 for 171 yards with two interceptions and the fumble. He was sacked three times.
Post-Game comments from Gill
Finding positives after this game:
Uh, no. Not at all. We didn't do a very good job as far as coaches and players. Our team didn't play well but you have to give credit to Baylor and their coach. They executed better than we did.
Do you feel it was intensity, execution, or preparation?
Who knows but I think it was a little bit of all of the above. Our guys didn't come out and execute like we need to and didn't play very well in any phase. They beat us in every phase and deserved to win the football game.
Baylor's success on wide receivers making plays:
We didn't contain as far as they outside guys. At corner you have to make sure you can contain them and make them go back inside. Then when they went back inside we didn't have anybody there to make plays. They (Baylor) played well and we have to play better and do better as a staff too.
On turnovers hurting the offense:
They hurt but then we hurt ourselves. I would call them unforced errors. We had some illegal procedures and all of a sudden we would stop ourselves. It was just one of those days where anything that could go wrong went wrong.
Getting ready for Kansas State:
Unfortunately our guys on our staff have been in the business long enough you have these type of situations where you don't play very well. We've had a situation already earlier this year where we didn't play very well and bounced back. The key is trying to play consistently week after week. We are still getting to know our football team. This is probably a game where Jordan didn't play quite as well. But again we have to coach them up and play better. | <urn:uuid:8b89e55d-2b02-4a24-af36-1fba4cf4b9af> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://kansas.rivals.com/news/kansas-drilled-in-waco-55-7 | 2017-05-29T15:11:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612399.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529145935-20170529165935-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.990208 | 1,076 | [

BRUSSELS U.S. aircraft component maker Rockwell Collins (COL.N) is set to gain unconditional EU approval for its $6.4 billion bid for aircraft interior maker B/E Aerospace (BEAV.O), two people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.The deal will boost Rockwell Collins' exposure to a record pipeline of commercial aerospace equipment purchases and expand its relatively modest presence in lucrative aftermarkets.The two U.S. companies have little product overlaps, with Rockwell active in avionics and flight control systems while B/E Aerospace is a major supplier of aircraft seats, galleys, lighting and lavatories.
The European Commission, which is scheduled to rule on the deal by April 12, declined to comment. Rockwell Collins and B/E Aerospace did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Securing EU approval without conditions will be a major step toward closing the deal, which Rockwell aims to do within the next few months.Pricing pressures from Boeing (BA.N) and Airbus (AIR.PA) are seen as one factor which triggered the deal. The merged company has forecast cost savings of about $160 million due to greater buying power with suppliers and combined information technology systems.
The Rockwell deal has also renewed speculation of more tie-ups in the sector, among them a possible interest in French peer Zodiac Aerospace (ZODC.PA) from France's Safran (SAF.PA) and U.S. group United Technologies (UTX.N). (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee; Editing by Susan Fenton)

By know I suspect everyone has seen or at least heard about Arlen Specter’s classless remarks about Jack Kemp on CBS’ Face the Nation… On the off chance you haven’t here’s the video:
What a bitter, angry man… I’ve come to expect this kind demagoguery from far left fringe bloggers but Arlen Specter is member of the United States Senate and supposedly part of mainstream political culture… And yet here he is taking the cheapest of cheap shot’s at Republicans. Senator Specter, with all do respect sir you are two steps lower than pond scum, the simple fact that you could not resist the urge to use a good man’s corpse as a soap box proves beyond a reasonable doubt it’s time you to retire.
And Senator as Ed Morrissey points out you couldn’t be more wrong:
During Republican control of Congress, federal spending on health research and regulation increased 46% after inflation, from $49 billion a year to $72 billion a year, or about 7% increase each year. That’s almost the same rate of increase as Defense spending got in the same period (48%), when we actually had a real war on our hands, and not a political contrivance for excusing federal spending.

Chris Christie on Monday called the death of Osama bin Laden a moment of "extraordinary sense of closure for a lot of people," and said there's no way the president would declare the terror mastermind dead unless it was true.
Story Continued Below
And he defended President Barack Obama's decision-making process on the mission to root out the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, saying it was easy to second-guess from afar and using the word "extraordinary" to describe his role as commander-in-chief during the military strike.
"I think there’s an extraordinary sense of closure for a lot of people that the person who masterminded and ordered these attacks that killed 3,000 of our citizens has now been brought to justice himself," Christie told reporters at a press conference in New Jersey. "And I can’t think of anything better for Osama bin Laden than to have met his end at the hands of the American military and to be buried at sea. It’s exactly where he belongs."
Christie recalled that President George W. Bush tapped him to be a federal prosecutor on Sept. 10, 2001, yoking his service inexorably to that day. He also said his wife and brother were both in lower Manhattan the day of the terror attacks and "escaped" from the island later in the day.
"I don’t think there’s any doubt in anybody’s mind that the president would get up last night and tell the world that Osama bin Laden’s dead unless Osama bin Laden’s dead," Christie said. "And so, I have complete confidence in the President’s statements and unless proven otherwise, complete confidence in his judgment on how they move forward with this. We’re not going to sit here behind this podium in Trenton and second-guess what the President of the United States is doing in Washington."
Obama, he said, "deserves extraordinary credit... because these decisions are never easy. They always look easy in retrospect. When you’re the person sitting in the chair having to make some of these calls, you recognize that these are really difficult decisions to make."
"He’s putting men and women in harm’s way and just as well as things went, they could’ve gone poorly," Christie added. "And then there would’ve been a whole chorus of second-guessers out there who would’ve been second-guessing the president’s judgment in every step along the way. So if they’re going to do that, when it goes real well, like it did for our country last night, then the man in charge deserves the credit. The president deserves the credit for doing really an extraordinary job." | <urn:uuid:40787fb1-62f3-4251-b595-3d248f44cd1a> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.politico.com/story/2011/05/christie-sees-closure-in-osamas-death-054159 | 2017-05-23T01:23:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607245.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523005639-20170523025639-00563.warc.gz | en | 0.973442 | 573 | [

I did a review of the 900 gsm Egyptian cotton towel set that I purchased and purchased again and again. In fact, I'm about to order again for the 4th time. The wash cloths are of the exact same quality and color as the 6-piece towel sets. I ordered a white set and a plum set of the wash cloths and I already had the 6-piece towel set (2 each: towels, hand towels and wash cloths) in white and one in plum. EXCELLENT QUALITY AND A "MUST HAVE". You will be so pleased.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Extremely plush; the finest of wash cloths I've used...

Friedrichshafen, Germany – The international trade show for general aviation will takeoff Wednesday, April 24, running through Saturday, April 27.
The show will focus on the entire range of general aviation, from gliders, ultralights and powered aircraft to helicopters and business jets, with 630 exhibitors from 35 countries.
“AERO is one of the leading trade shows for general aviation worldwide. Consequently, together with an additional air show in the US, AERO plays a key role all around the globe,” said Messe Friedrichshafen CEO Klaus Wellmann.
“We offer a wide range of products, as witnessed by the large number of exhibitors, the conference and presentation program and the special shows,” added project manager Roland Bosch. “Exhibitors also appreciate the focus of the trade show and use AERO as a platform to present numerous new products and innovations.”
In addition to the “Engine Area,” which is held for the second time and presents diverse drive system designs and technologies, the topic of research flights is debuting at the exhibition in the form of “Observe by Air,” which presents civil applications for drones and projects for manned and unmanned research flights, like the Zeppelin air quality measurement project.
The right course is set on Avionics Avenue, which features flight control and communications systems and navigation devices.
Up-and-coming professionals in the field will get the right start in the industry at AEROCareer, where institutes of higher education and employers inform young flight enthusiasts about career opportunities in aviation.
Leading manufacturers of gliders will also be exhibiting at this year’s AERO. Within the scope of the fifth “e-flight-expo,” innovative aircraft with alternative forms of propulsion will again be displayed under the catchwords “electrical, ecological and evolutionary.”
More than 30,000 visitors are again expected to attend the general aviation trade show, most of them are pilots.
“In Germany there are currently some 40,000 individuals with private pilot licenses (PPL) for powered aircraft, and roughly 20,000 holders of licenses for ultralights. In addition, there were 10,339 pilots in Germany in 2012 with an airline transport pilot license, which allows them to fly airliners,” says pilot and trade journalist Jürgen Schelling.

Video - A call to my childhood rapist teacher
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
WOW! A call to my childhood rapist teacher
This video has gone viral. I am 28 years old and have been waiting years to get up enough courage to report a teacher for sexually abusing me for years. When I finally got up enough courage to report her, I found out that the statute of limitations was up and she will never have to pay for the things that she did to me. I decided to call her and make a video to let the public know what kind of person is around their children. Her name is Andrea Cardosa and works with your children at Alhambra High School in Alhambra, CA.

I was very concerned after receiving an alarming letter from a good friend in Mexico (Whom I will leave nameless for obvious reasons)regarding the wars (yes you read that correctly) between drug cartels fighting amongst themselves and the Mexican Army and police. It his letter he talks not just about the people involved that are fighting and dieing but also about innocent civilians whom are being killed as well as women and children and stresses his sincere concern for the safety of the Coyote Convoy. He stresses his concern by stating that the cartels are looking for money or trucks or women and is very serious situation.
Seven of the deaths occurred in violence-plagued Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's murder capital, bringing to 62 the number of people killed in the city over the past week. That's "ONE WEEK" folks.
The 18 other slayings overnight included four people fatally shot by automatic weapons fire in a bar in the town of Camargo, near the state capital Chihuahua City, and two women whose bodies were found stuffed in the trunk of an abandoned car in the same town, prosecutors said.
So far this year, more than 850 people have been killed while more than 2,660 were killed there in 2009, according to official figures.
The Department of State has issued this Travel Warning to inform U.S. citizens traveling to and living in Mexico about the security situation in Mexico.

The Baumgartner's not only enjoy modern appliances, they also have lower fuel bills and enjoy power even when their neighbors are suffering from a blackout. The only evidence that their house is running on solar power is the noise from the generator when it is running.
Scott MacFarlane | Xantrex Technology
by Scott MacFarlane, Xantrex Technology
"I admit it is a little unusual to find a solar powered house in a rain forest, but it can be successfully done" said Rob. "Our goal is to one day have 50 per cent of our power supplied by solar energy despite Mission's rainy climate."
Power for their off-grid home is supplied by solar panels and an SW Plus 4024 Inverter/Charger. A generator is used for about two hours a day during the fall and winter months to supplement the energy produced by the solar panels during low light periods.
The Baumgartner's believe in standing behind Xantrex products, so much so that they even used two Prosine 2.0's to power the tools their contractor used when building the house.
"The house is a beta test for Xantrex products because of its isolation from the grid," said Rob. "A lot of the stuff in our house is the worst case scenario of what you would see in the field, because we have so many conventional appliances."
The Baumgartner's not only enjoy modern appliances, they also have lower fuel bills and enjoy power even when their neighbors are suffering from a blackout. The only evidence that their house is running on solar power is the noise from the generator when it is running. "People coming to our house don't even realize its off-grid," said Rob.
However, they don't plan to stop with solar power. Currently, Rob is designing a micro-hydro system to take advantage of the area's plentiful rain.
"The elevation of the property and its long driveway can be used to create a small river," said Rob. "I can produce electricity by re-directing rain water run-off through a pipe that follows the slope of the driveway and installing a small turbine at the base.
"If it is not sunny out there you can guarantee its raining," said Rob. "If this will produce a little bit of power, it will be a huge help."
Living off-grid has resulted in the Baumgartner's becoming much more energy conscious, such as turning off-lights and appliances when they are not being used and carefully monitoring phantom loads. Their advice to homeowners thinking about going off-grid: "Don't assume that a normal wasteful lifestyle can be solar powered in the Lower Mainland," Rob says. "It is always much cheaper to save a watt of power than to generate an extra one."

Groups of Russian fans are being deported from France due to bouts of violence.
French riot police surrounded a bus of Russian supporters on Tuesday as it left Cannes for Lille
The BBC reported that Alexandr Shprygin, head of the Russian Union of Supporters, said 29 of the fans were now being escorted to the airport.
He told Reuters by phone that that French authorities had drawn up 29 deportation orders but insisted none of the fans in the bus had taken part in the violence in Marseille.
Adolphe Colrat, the local police chief, told reporters there were 43 people on the bus, 35 of whom had refused to get off until the Russian consul arrived. Six were sent to regional detention centres and are in police custody claiming to belong to the Russian sports ministry.
"There are clear signs that some of them took part in unacceptable violence in Marseille," Colrat said, according to Reuters.
Video from the French city show chairs being thrown outside a bar near the train station.
According to the Daily Mail, two Russians were arrested in the city centre.
Some videos also showed fan chanting “fuck off Russia, we’re England and Wales” and brandishing flags.
There were concerns trouble would flare as England and Russia fans are both congregating in Lille ahead of matches this week.
Russia play Slovakia in the city on Wednesday and England and Wales will face each other on Thursday in nearby Lens.
A ban on alcohol sales in Lille does not appear to have been followed by at least one shop.
England’s previous Group B game against Russia was marred by violence on the streets of Marseille and inside the Stade Velodrome.
On Tuesday footage was uploaded to YouTube showing a group of Russian men armed with metal pipes and bottles chasing down England supporters who they then beat to the ground.
Uefa threatened both teams with expulsion from the tournament following the ugly scenes.
They then gave Russia a suspended disqualification from the European championship for crowd disturbances and fined the team £119,000. | <urn:uuid:d0b84511-ca6a-4943-8441-560a8e70caba> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/euro-2016-russian-fans-deported-france-after-latest-violence_uk_5760766ce4b08b9e3abd49c2 | 2017-05-25T01:56:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607960.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525010046-20170525030046-00588.warc.gz | en | 0.975489 | 424 | [

Simple Remedies For Snoring Relief
Snoring is the situation when a sleeper starts producing unwanted and unpleasant sounds while sleeping. It is a serious problem because it does not only create problem to snorer but also to the person who sleeps beside him. So it is important to know about some simple remedies for snoring relief.
Snoring is an unpleasant sound which is produced by the vibration of soft tissues of the nose and throat during sleep. This is because of indicative of increased upper airway resistance. Snoring is the very serious problem because it causes many couples to sleep in separate rooms and affect relationships. It has also proven that continuous snoring can lead to stroke problem. It is considered as the sign of many more serious health problems like sleep apnea or slowing of breathing etc.
There are both surgical and non-surgical ways for reducing your snoring problem. You can select any one for your convenience. Generally, snorer avoids to surgical ways and tries to adopt non-surgical ways to get relief. Few remedies for getting relief from snoring are-
- Lose weight
Overweight may be the reason for your snoring. Fatty tissue gets accumulated near the throat or your neck and blocks the pathways of air to move. This pushes the neighboring tissue vibrate and it produces snoring. So by doing little exercise daily you can avoid your two problems one is obesity and second are snoring.
- Quit Drinking and Smoking
Smoking and drinking both are considered injurious to health. While you smoke or drink you prohibit the path of fresh air in the body during breathing. So it disturbs the tissues present in throat and neck and makes the tissues vibrate. So avoid drinking and smoking at least before four hours going to bed.
- Sleep your side
It is another major concern that a snorer should keep in mind because while the person sleeps at its backside then it is quite difficult to breathe properly. So try to sleep your side. It will allow you to breathe properly.
- Anti-snoring products
There are various anti-snoring products like Asonor nasal spray or an oral appliance which is a small plastic device that fits in your mouth over your teeth while you sleep that stops you from snoring. Asonor anti snoring solution is ranked as one of the world’s best anti-snoring treatments. Asonor effectively removes the cause of snoring and it is a simple yet effective treatment, which relives you and your partner from the inconveniences of snoring.
It is the last option and least option adopted by snorer. There are various types of surgeries available according to the need of snorers like nasal surgery, tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy and much more.
These are the few remedies for snoring relief. A snorer should not ignore their snoring problem because it can lead to many serious health problems. | <urn:uuid:bf110eec-ace4-4855-a4bc-2ee1f2a3ad62> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.longroadmedia.com/2016/08/simple-remedies-for-snoring-relief/ | 2017-05-25T01:17:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607960.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525010046-20170525030046-00588.warc.gz | en | 0.958366 | 592 | [

Dodo Juice has built up a reputation based on the outstanding quality of their natural carnauba waxes and a host of other, high performing car care products. With the exception of the Supernatural Hybrid Wax the products have all largely been based on organic ingredients. Never afraid to try something new, or to rise to customer demands, The Dodo has now released a range of nano-ceramic sealants in response to the new wave of quartz and glass-based coatings which are proving so popular.
Quartz and glass based coatings bond chemically with paintwork and have very high levels of scratch resistance, UV protection as well as providing a highly water, dirt and oil repellent surface. Although natural carnauba waxes leave a glorious, deep wet look shine their organic nature results in a tendency to degrade relatively quickly when subjected to harsh wash chemicals, road salts etc. These nano-ceramic sealants can last 12 months tor more and as a result have quickly become very popular with enthusiasts looking for maximum protection for their paintwork.
The Dodo nano-ceramic sealant range consists (so far!) of:
Supernatural Infinity Paint Sealant – Super hard, scratch resistant, wash chemical resistant coating that gives 1-2 years protection for paintwork.
Supernatural Quartz Trim Sealant Kit – a super long lasting sealant for plastic trim offering 12 months plus protection from UV fading and water staining.
Supernatural Wheel Sealant Kit – hard wearing sealant for up to 12 months protection from brake dust deposits, road salts, dirt build up and grime.
We feel nano-ceramics is the next logical step for Dodo Juice: We’ve always done our best to give our customers more than just what they’re looking for and our natural carnauba waxes remain as popular as ever. The nano-sealants simply give our customers more flexibility when making their choices. In addition, nano-sealants have previously been prohibitively expensive and the preserve of professional detailers. Our aim is to make them more affordable and accessible. – Dom Colbeck, Dodo Juice.
In addition to the Supernatural nano ceramic coatings, Dodo Juice has also started producing Born to Be Mild Shampoo, Sour Power Shampoo and Lime Prime pre-wax cleaner, Clearly Menthol Glass Cleaner Concentrate and Born Slippy Clay Lube Concentrate in 1 litre sizes.
Other completely new products include:
- Iron Gloss Polymer Sealant – hard as nails paint sealant for modern day motoring!
- Basics of Bling Protection Wax – Easy to use wax in stocking filler size!
- Basics of Bling Detailing Spray Concentrate – Keep the wax layers topped up for longer!
- Total Wipe Out All Purpose Cleaner: 1 litre concentrate & 500ml pre-mixed – APC on steroids!
There are promises of more new products to follow in early 2013 – what will The Dodo come up with next!

If you are checking prices and feel my prices are a bit out of reach but you are interested in working with me, please contact me. There are ways to make this appeal more to you. Please contact me for more information.

Chapecoense defender Alan Ruschel was the first to be saved from the crash that killed 19 of his team-mates. He was critical and suffered multiple fractures.
In a newly released video, Alan showed he was making an impressive recovery. He also thanked everyone who prayed and supported him ever since the crash. He says he will soon return to Brazil.
“I would like to tell you that I am recovering very well, I will soon come back to Brazil to finish my recovery. “
“I would like to thank all of you, for the support given and by the vows of affection that I also received, I just wanted to thank everyone, thank you very much.”
During the first stage of his recovery, Alan only communicated through gestures as stated by his fiancee,
“He only communicates with gestures at the moment. He is able to move his legs when I talk to him, which the doctor’s say is an absolutely huge improvement. The wonderful medical staff also said he is out a danger. I am ecstatic that he has come so far so quickly.”
The video showed Alan Ruschel taking steps at the Colombian hospital where he was rushed to after the rescue. He was moving with the help of an Orthopaedic doctor, Marcos Andre Sonagli, who held his hands as he took baby steps.
The doctor has confirmed that the defender does not have a spinal damage.
“He’s well, conscious and has not suffered a spinal cord injury… he has even walked.”
In respect to the fallen heroes, it was announced this week that Chapecoense would be named Copa Sudamericana champions after an official request from Atletico Nacional, who they were due to play in a two-leg final.
Investigations revealed that the crash occurred because the plane was out of fuel and out of power. The airline chief has been arrested for incompetence. | <urn:uuid:61b3f2c0-af96-4b58-a6d8-a89f75505ea4> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://answersafrica.com/chapecoense-defender-alan-ruschel.html | 2017-05-27T06:12:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608870.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527055922-20170527075922-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.991475 | 404 | [

Governor Sean Parnell today signed a supplemental proclamation that removes oil and gas production taxes from consideration by the Alaska Legislature during this special session. The Senate must still take up gasline legislation, House Bill 9, for the Legislature to complete its work in the special session.
"Stemming Alaska's production decline and growing our economy through increased oil production is extremely important, both now and in the long term," Governor Parnell said. "But there are some in the Senate who believe that Alaska's oil production decline is a myth. This is an irresponsible disregard for the facts and Alaskans deserve much better.
"Given the hardline position of some in the Senate against increasing production from both existing and new fields, the Senate appears incapable of passing comprehensive oil tax reform," Governor Parnell said. "Accordingly, I am removing consideration of oil and gas taxes at this time.
"I want to thank the many Alaskans who fought for their jobs, future, and families, and who will continue to stand for maximizing Alaska's resource for Alaskans rather than leaving it in the ground."
The Senate should now move expeditiously on gasline legislation in HB 9. The bill carries long-term statewide benefits, both for rural and urban areas, through new energy, more jobs, and greater state revenue. HB 9 remains bottled up in the Senate Community and Regional Affairs Committee. Changes to HB 9 suggested to senators by the sponsor, Speaker Mike Chenault, will ensure the state can move forward to unlock natural gas for Alaskans' benefit.
Executive powers under Alaska's Constitution are broad. Where the governor has the authority to convene a special session and set the agenda by limiting it to any topic, he also has the authority to withdraw a topic from consideration. This is particularly true where the Legislature has the corresponding power to call itself back into special session to consider the same topic should they desire. | <urn:uuid:9432cc70-7f64-4781-9285-e364a95f8ae9> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://votesmart.org/public-statement/688760/ | 2017-05-27T07:42:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608870.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527055922-20170527075922-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.955884 | 392 | [

Of course [the prayer for the conversion of the Jews from the Good Friday liturgy in the 1962 missal can be changed], and I suspect it probably will be, because the intention is to be sure that our prayers are not offensive to the Jewish people who are our ancestors in the faith.
So then, the people who Cardinal George is about to say mocks our Lord, calling Him a bastard, are here identified as our "ancestors in the faith." This is patent nonsense. Our ancestors in the faith are the Old Testament prophets. The "ancestors in the faith" that George speaks of here are spiritually descended of the Pharisees who persecuted our spiritual ancestors and our Lord, Jesus Christ. Benedict XVI said as much himself HERE. And Benedict's favorite rabbi, Jacob Neusner has made the same fact amply clear HERE.
Not content to let that whopper stand alone, George continues:
We can't possibly insult them in our liturgy.
And what, exactly, from the Church canon does George draw this foolish notion from? Is he familiar with the Old Testament's myriad of harsh chastisements of the true Israelites for their constant falls into idolatry? Is he aware of Christ's chastisements of the true Judeans throughout the Gospel? Is he aware of St. Stephen's litany of chastisements, and those of the Apostles, the Church Fathers, Church Doctors, Saints and popes for over 1900 years? Of course he is, but he must think that you and I are not. And it seems to me that if the true Jews weren't above reproach from Christ and the Apostles, these fake "Jews" that George speaks of are certainly not above reproach either.
But this is putting aside the fact that a Christian prayer for the conversion of a non-believer is not an insult in any way. Only in the twisted minds of self-worshiping Talmudists who believe they're saved by their Khazar ethnicity and in the minds of their philo-Judaic dupes is a prayer perceived to be an insult.
And it's not just the Good Friday prayer that they perceive to be insulting. The Gospel is insulting to them, the prophet Isaiah is insulting to them, the writings of the Church Fathers, the saints and popes and Church councils are insulting to them as well. Is it also true that "we can't possibly insult the 'Jews'" with our Scripture and the rest of our Church canon and Church tradition in addition to our liturgy? Why would the line be drawn only at the liturgy? Indeed, many of these things have been changed already and the 2008 synod has it's sights set on Scripture and scriptural exegesis.
Cardinal George is often credited for his intellect, so I will assume that he is well aware of the logical end to his reasoning. George continues:
Not that any group has a veto on anybody's prayers ...
But it seems that "Jewish" organizations do, in fact, have veto power over Catholic prayers. What is all of this controversy about in the first place? It wasn't due to an outcry among Catholics.
... because you can go through Jewish texts and find material that is offensive to us.
You're telling me? Where have you been?
But if we're interested in keeping the dialogue strong, and we have to be ...
What is this ridiculous notion based upon? Where in the Catholic canon does it state that strong dialog must be maintained between Catholic prelates and Judaic power organizations?
... we should be very cautious about any prayer that they find insulting.
Yes. We should be VERY cautious because they seek to eradicate everything that insults them and they're insulted by our religion in it's totality. I promise anyone who seeks to accommodate "the Jews" by changing everything that insults them, your work will never end.
'They,' however, is a big tent. What my Jewish rabbi friend down the block finds insulting is different from what Abraham Foxman [national director of the Anti-Defamation League] finds insulting.
There's the dialectic again. Just because Foxman is a lunatic doesn't make the rabbis reasonable. Show me an Orthodox rabbi who says he thinks Christians should be left alone and I'll show you a liar.
Also, it does work both ways. Maybe this is an opening to say, 'Would you care to look at some of the Talmudic literature's description of Jesus as a bastard, and so on, and maybe make a few changes in some of that?'
What a joke! Haven't we seen that charade already? The rabbis will change their Christ mocking tradition at the request of "the goyim"? You think that a tradition based upon opposition to Christ will stop mocking Christ? 800 years of forced censorship and self-censorship hasn't dampened Judaism's extreme hatred for Jesus Christ in the slightest. They might even censor the texts for show but the tradition remains. Get out of here with that idiocy.
And again, this is beside the fact that there is no parity whatsoever between Christians praying for the salvation of the souls of the "Jews" and the Judaic texts that mock the Savior of Christianity calling Him a bastard, pervert, magician, idolator who led Israel astray, who deserved to be executed and is suffering eternal punishment in boiling excrement for chastising the Pharisees. To suggest that there is some equivalence between the two is lower than a card trick or shell game.
Who buys this trash?
The Vatican has recently entered a new stage of double-mind inducement in which it openly states that rabbinic Judaism is descended from the Pharisees who were Christ's enemies and persecutors but that those who uphold rabbinic Judaism are our "elder brothers in the faith"; where it openly states that the rabbis blaspheme and mock our Lord but that they are our "ancestors in the faith" and we mustn't "insult" them by praying for them. Who would buy into this besides hypnotics and the mentally retarded? | <urn:uuid:f9512239-3a32-4fa8-9a5a-2f0e39bfbf78> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2007/10/cardinal-george-induces-double-mind.html | 2017-05-23T05:04:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607369.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523045144-20170523065144-00285.warc.gz | en | 0.964189 | 1,254 | [

We have finally booked Top Drawer Spring. Despite Paper Salad being in its seventh year of trading we have never participated at this show before, we have done every other show going . The reason is that we always do Spring Fair at the NEC and the thought of doing two shows almost back to back is daunting to say the least. As we are based in Manchester we always have to stay over at shows which also adds to the cost of exhibiting, plus it means we have to get all of our new ranges ready earlier. We are starting to talk about what our shows in the new year will look like and are busy at the moment throwing ideas around. Here are a few pics from last years Spring Fair.
Our Stand when we first arrived.
Starting to take shape, decorating with Gift Wrap not recommended.
Our finished stand. The whole process takes about 6 hours. | <urn:uuid:9c92aaf7-3a18-42db-aeee-bd19c8cd4720> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://papersaladblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/top-drawer-spring-2012.html | 2017-05-23T04:59:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607369.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523045144-20170523065144-00285.warc.gz | en | 0.977758 | 176 | [

I love the idea of this 30-Day Drawing Challenge (which I first heard about via Natali's blog). So I'm going to get on board starting today! My goal is to do one quick drawing each day, and to post them at the end of each week. Should be fun!
Anyone can join in.

Style applies to a lifestyle. It's not about being told this is trendy, you must do it. Now people have more access than ever before.
There is no question that Israelis - indeed, all concerned Jews - have to continue to work out a Jewish public philosophy that truly justifies a Jewish state in the land of Israel.
At the moment, I'm toying with a new idea for a book, but fully engaged with writing screenplays, so the book idea - which needs empty space in my head - is barely formed yet.

Master's in Gerontology
The master's in gerontology is an applied program designed to prepare you for work with the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. In a rapidly aging world, you will likely work with and be surrounded by older adults. This degree helps you specialize and have a competitive, professional advantage.
This program, taught entirely via the Internet, creates flexibility and practicality for a wide range of individuals who may be pursuing a graduate degree, including working professionals, those with families, or those studying at a distance. It does not require the GRE exam or a graduate thesis. Faculty serve as advisers for online students and are developing ways to be more interactive, giving students the sense of belonging that is sometimes missing for distance students. In addition, an online newsletter, developed with the online student in mind, is sent to students several times a year.
The master's in gerontology is made possible by collaborative partnerships through the Great Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (GP-IDEA). It was developed as a completely Internet-based gerontology curriculum. The inter-institutional master's program draws on the expertise of graduate faculty and graduate courses from seven partner universities. The program has been in place at Kansas State University since fall 2003.
Program content for this degree is based on core competencies identified by AGHE (Association for Gerontology in Higher Education). The program requires 36 credit hours, 24 of them in specific courses and the remainder in elective courses.
Most courses will use Internet classrooms. Interactivity between students and the professor is accomplished through email, phone conferencing and the Internet classroom. Students should be able to complete the 36-credit hour program in three years or less while employed full-time.
The list of required and elective courses and their descriptions are listed in the graduate catalog. For information on when the required and elective courses are offered, please see the gerontology course matrix.
Kansas State University currently is accepting applications. The application packet includes all the required information including deadline dates, course schedules and descriptions, as well as the requirements for graduate study. The application process is competitive, and a limited number of slots are available to incoming students. In the event a student is not accepted to the program due to limited space, they may wish to contact one of our partnering institutions. The application form required by the Graduate School must be completed online.
There are no application deadlines for domestic students. For international students the application deadlines are as follows:
Fall term: February 1
Spring term: August 1
Summer term: December 1

Every Wednesday, TriplePundit founder Nick Aster will take 45 minutes or so to chat with an interesting leader in the sustainable business movement. These chats are broadcast on our Google+ channel and embedded via YouTube right here on 3p.
Bart Alexander champions and reports Molson Coors’ global commitments to ethical performance, alcohol responsibility, sustainability and community investment, what the company calls “Our Beer Print.” Under his watch, Molson Coors achieved recognition as the world beverage industry leader on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index two years in a row. The company was also recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project as an S&P 500 leader in both transparency and performance. Nine in ten people at Molson Coors believe that the company is responsible about environmental issues and in the community, a top three driver of employee engagement at the company.
Nick talked with Bart about just how Molson Coors has become so popularly recognized as a sustainability leader, and what they’re doing to now continue the momentum. The video is below…
About Bart Alexander
Before joining the beer industry, Bart held senior positions in economic development and human services at the federal, state and local levels. He has a particular interest in the convergence of public and private sector values and responsibilities in societies around the world. Even as governments face challenges of demonstrating their accountability and cost-effectiveness in achieving promised outcomes, businesses face issues of sustainability and inclusiveness. In both developed and emerging economies, the roles of corporations, governments, and civil society organizations face reinvention.
Bart is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard, with a concentration in comparative government. He holds a masters degree from the London School of Economics with a focus on health and social policy and economics. He later served as a Senior Executive Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and completed the Harvard Business School course in Corporate Social Responsibility. Bart is married to an organizational change consultant and executive coach, and he is actively involved with two teenage children. He engages in civic affairs, including leadership roles with local, national and international NGOs. | <urn:uuid:32d7ab40-af52-40ee-88d7-c5faf27ddf4e> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.triplepundit.com/2013/12/conversation-bart-alexander-chief-corporate-responsibility-officer-molson-coors/ | 2017-05-26T05:41:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608642.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20170526051657-20170526071657-00130.warc.gz | en | 0.957415 | 424 | [

Cyclops (Crustaceans) Movies
Recalling the mythological one-eyed giants of Homer's Odyssey, Cyclops are predominantly free-living crustaceans in the subclass Copepoda and the suborder Cyclopoida, and feature a central, anterior eyespot. Although largely marine, the specimen illustrated here is one of the 44 species of freshwater cyclopoids known from this genus worldwide.
Cyclops Video #1 - Two Cyclops move in and out of the field of view; under oblique illumination with a playing time of 17 seconds. Choose a playback format that matches your connection speed:
Cyclops Video #2 - Several Cyclops copepods (and a much larger mite) swim across the viewfield; under oblique illumination with a playing time of 30 seconds. Choose a playback format that matches your connection speed:
Cyclops Video #3 - A Cyclops appears to forage on a large piece of debris; under oblique illumination with a playing time of 38 seconds. Choose a playback format that matches your connection speed:
Cyclops filter-feed on algae and other microscopic material as they swim through the water column. Although not providing a high-resolution image, the single eyespot reacts to light intensity, increasing the likelihood that the one-eyed copepod will swim into areas dense with algae and other plankton. Diurnal vertical migrations of this micro crustacean provide a balance between feeding in the photic zone and avoidance of predation in the aphotic zone of a pond, lake, or ocean. The eye may be red or black and the body segments may be green, orange, blue, or red, depending on the species, the environmental conditions, and the invertebrate's nutrition. As with other copepods, there are 11 pairs of appendages on the head and thorax. Unlike their other copepod relatives, cyclopoids feature a forked tail filament known as a furca, and do not have compound eyes or a carapace. Females are often observed while swimming to have paired egg sacs, and most of the species are capable of explosive outbreaks when the water temperature and other conditions are optimal. Four species in Texas and three in Indiana are adapted for cave life typical of karst topography.
As the intermediary hosts of numerous human parasites such as the long (600 to 800 millimeters in length) Guinea worm (Dracunculus medinensis), cestodes such as the fish tapeworm that may plague sushi-lovers, and nematodes (roundworms) responsible for gnathostomiasis, Cyclops populations are sometimes subject to extensive eradication campaigns. This is especially true in underdeveloped nations lacking good sanitation and water quality. Alternatives to pesticides for controlling Cyclops as a disease vector involve manipulating the aquatic habitat to make it less favorable for the host crustacean or introducing efficient predators. Some species of Cyclops are not free-living, existing instead as fish parasites. Tropical and native fish enthusiasts utilize the cyclopoids as a high protein live fish food, especially for immature fishes, and in a fair twist of fate, some Cyclops species have been found feasting on larval fishes, particularly in fish hatcheries.

Hi! This is a lovely bedroom AND study in a house in Turner, so two rooms for $150 per week including bills. It's a 10 min walk to ANU, or a 15 min bus trip to UC, and the bus stop is a 3 minute walk from our house. The timing of your stay would be quite specific, we are renting out the rooms while we are away overseas. The room is available from 4th-30th July precisely :) The house has a big back yard, sunny living room, and your study has an open fireplace.
The other housemates are two really lovely guys (early 30s and late 20s) who are working, studying, gardening, and making nice pizzas and soups. | <urn:uuid:187e1382-46a9-4924-abb8-6f8f307b310f> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://flatmates.com.au/P408696 | 2017-05-27T10:06:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608936.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527094439-20170527114439-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.936655 | 207 | [

Hope entered the farmhouse and found Victor having a major seizure on the floor. As Hope asked what was going on, Victor started coming out of the seizure and told her that he slipped and fell. She wanted to call an ambulance but he insisted that she didn't. Hope felt that there was more to all this than Victor has told her. As Hope spoke to Victor, he had a minor seizure -- he experienced visions of light and the sound of a single guitar playing a beautiful melody. He told Hope about the melody, but Hope hadn't heard it. She thought perhaps the music was meant only for him. When Hope said it sounded like a religious experience, Victor said he had several of these experiences. She said perhaps his quest was to learn what it was like to live spiritually. He asked Hope to help him. Later, they were outside Hope's and Victor was leaving -- Victor said he would be gone for however long it took. She told Victor how glad she was to see him. Victor told her that seeing her made him realize that he had to continue looking. She wished him luck in finding what he was looking for. They hugged and Victor left.
At Crimson Lights, Gloria expressed her appreciation to Jana for helping with her and Kevin's scheme to get rid of Alex (again telling Jana that Alex had nude photos of her in her younger days.) Jana said she was glad Alex got what he deserved, and that she felt like she had been in an action movie. Gloria promised to pay her back with a full treatment at the NVP spa. Jana was suddenly quick to want to leave. Gloria noticed Jana's necklace and saw that she kept the keys to the Crimson Lights cash register on it. She quickly left, and Gloria had a suspicious look on her face.
Outside the Winters' apartment door, Kevin was worried that Lily was spilling the beans to the policeman inside, and wondered why Daniel felt the need to tell Lily about what had happened with Alex. Daniel said it was eating him up inside and he couldn't keep lying to Lily. Inside the apartment, the policeman asked Lily if she would recognize Alex. Daniel and Kevin snuck back in as Lily told him she would never forget his face. When the policeman asked Lily if there was anything more, she said yes (which made Daniel and Kevin nervous) -- that the police should check Crimson Lights as Alex often hung out there. Dru came home and was shocked to see Kevin and the policeman there. Dru hugged Lily and told her she wished she had come to them sooner. The policeman told Neil that if they saw or heard from Alex to contact them, and he left. Dru said she hoped they found him and locked him up for good. Kevin left, and Neil suspiciously told Daniel that he thought he and Kevin didn't hang out any more. Daniel said they just saw each other once in a while. Neil felt that Lily was holding something back from them. When Neil told Daniel to go over to the Abbotts and get some of their stuff so they could spend the night at the Winters, Daniel said that wouldn't work, and that the reason Lily wanted to stay with them wasn't because she was scared -- then he confessed his part in Lily's rape -- though he said it wasn't supposed to happen like that -- Lily was never supposed to get hurt. Neil told Daniel he was calling the cops, but Lily took the phone from him. When Daniel assured Neil that he would protect Lily from Alex now, Neil threw Daniel out, telling him his days of protecting Lily were over -- that he would be protecting her now.
With Daniel gone, Neil said he still wanted to call the police and have him arrested, but Lily said she couldn't handle that now. When Lily wondered aloud how Daniel could have done this, Dru said that he might be as crazy as his mother. They didn't think Alex would be stupid enough to try anything again, with the cops looking for him. When Dru suggested that Lily was in pain, Lily said she wanted things to be the way they used to be. Dru and Neil told Lily to get a quickie divorce, but she said she didn't want one yet. Neil told her that once trust was gone in a relationship, there was nothing left. The look on Dru's face showed that the remark was directed at her as well.
Jack visited John in prison, and told John how exciting it was to be running NVP -- that he thought his career was over and now he was heading up a company again. When Jack started blaming himself for selling part of Jabot to Chancellor, and for the GloAgain debacle, John assured him these were not his mistakes alone. Jack told him that NVP was only the beginning of getting Jabot back -- and building it into a powerhouse to rival Newman Enterprises!
Kevin went to Crimson Lights and found Gloria, who at first was scared that their plan to get rid of Alex didn't work. Kevin assured her it did, but that he was upset because Daniel told Lily everything and the cops knew that Alex had been back in town -- although Lily didn't mention Kevin or Daniel's name. Gloria was relieved, and Kevin said now Daniel would have to suffer for telling Lily everything, because she probably would never forgive him. Kevin told Gloria how thankful he was for her role in the scheme, and Gloria reassured him that she would do anything for him.
Gloria arrived at the prison to visit John, teasing him that she should try to bribe the guard for a conjugal visit. When John noticed how upbeat she was, she told him that she had helped Kevin solve a problem, and how grateful Kevin was. John mentioned that he had a wonderful conversation with Jack earlier and that he was pleased that Jack had taken his advice and was making plans for his future. Gloria wanted to know what the plans were, and he told her that Jack planned to take over the reins at Jabot again. When Gloria said that was a nice dream, John told her that when Jack set his mind to something, there was no end to what he could accomplish. Gloria looked concerned.
In the break room at Newman, Jack ran into a glum-looking Daniel, who told him that it was over between him and Lily. Jack assured Daniel that he wasn't a bad guy -- that he had just done something stupid, and that eventually Lily would come around. He gave Daniel a project to do -- Internet research on what people in his age group would want from a spa -- to keep him occupied and to show Lily that although he was down, he was not out.
At Newman, Daniel told Phyllis that he told Dru and Neil everything about his role in Lily's rape. Phyllis was worried that they would call the police or that Alex would come after him. Daniel told her that Alex probably left town already. He told Phyllis about the project Jack gave him to keep him busy. She scooted Daniel off to work, and then found Jack to thank him for keeping Daniel busy. Jack said that he would do anything for Daniel -- they hugged and Jack said he couldn't believe it had been 2 years since they divorced.
On the Crimson Lights patio, Daniel told Kevin he had told Dru and Neil everything, but hadn't mentioned Kevin's name. He told Kevin that it was the right thing to do and that he hoped Lily would forgive him one day.
Outside Nick and Sharon's, Nikki asked if there was any word on Sharon, and Nick told her there wasn't. She told him she had sent Noah to spend a few days with her sister Casey. Nikki was worried about Victor as well, as she hadn't had any luck reaching him on his cell. She left to see if he left any messages on the main house answering machine.
Nick went into the house and yelled at Brad for telling them getting the reliquary was the only way to save Sharon. Victoria was angry at him for lying to her as well. Brad said it was urgent that the kidnappers believed they were tracking the reliquary. Brad wanted them to continue to search for the reliquary. Nick wanted to know who put Brad in charge, as Sharon was his wife and her life was in danger. They started to argue as Nikki entered and told them to stop. Nick complained that they had been spending their time working on computers instead of looking for Sharon. When Brad asked where they should look, Nick said she had to be somewhere. Nikki told them that there were no messages from Victor at the main house -- she couldn't understand why he wasn't with them when the family was in crisis.
Nikki went to Newman and called hotels, hoping to find Victor. Her secretary gave her some paperwork having to do with the NVP Grand Opening, but Nikki told her to have Phyllis or Jack deal with it. Nick called Nikki and told her to go to Casey's as well, but Nikki refused. Jack came into the office and told Nikki he heard she wasn't attending the NVP meeting. She asked him if he heard from Victor -- he said he hadn't and didn't expect to. Jack thought Nikki was upset about something else as well, but she said it was Victor -- that the idea of a retreat was ridiculous. When Jack said it was possible that Victor didn't want to be found, she said she didn't care -- that he had to come home now -- that he left town too quickly after his epilepsy diagnosis. While Nikki listed all the reasons Victor shouldn't have gone, Jack played devil's advocate and listed all the reasons he should. Jack said she needed a diversion and that she should help him and Phyllis with the Grand Opening. Nikki again voiced her suspicion about Victor and Jack's sudden friendship, but later joined Jack and Phyllis for the NVP meeting.
At Nick and Sharon's, Nick asked Phyllis to leave, but she didn't want to. Brad talked to Victoria and he insisted he knew what he was doing. He couldn't find his cell phone and she told him to use the phone in the kitchen. When he left, Nick told Victoria that Brad was handling this all wrong -- that they had to find the reliquary. Victoria said that Brad knew what he was doing, but Nick didn't think they could trust him, and for all they knew he may not even want to help Sharon now. Victoria said that Brad probably would go to greater lengths to help Sharon than to help her. Brad overheard this remark. Nick told Brad that if anything happened to Sharon it would be his fault, and he left. Phyllis followed him outside and she said that "we" have to do something to find Sharon, but Nick said that he had to do this alone so no one else's life would be at risk. She told him to be careful, as their baby needed a father. They hugged and Phyllis left.
Brad told Victoria he overheard her remark that he would rather save Sharon than her. He assured her that wasn't so, and that he didn't want to see Sharon, J.T., or Nick dead because of him. He told her that Nick needed to keep a cool head, or else he might do something drastic. Victoria said she would talk to Nick but for right now she wanted to be alone to work. Brad said he needed to check his text messages but he still couldn't find his cell phone.
Outside, Nick was finishing one phone call when another cell phone rang. It was Brad's, and the kidnappers were on the line! Nick told them not to hang up -- that he was Nick Newman and they had his wife -- not Brad's. He said that Carlton had been running from them for 20 years -- but that Nick would get what they wanted in order to save Sharon. He begged them not to hurt her!
Nick was at Newman Enterprises getting a lot of cash and his passport from the office safe. Brad's cell phone (which Nick had taken) rang and Nick answered it -- Brad wanted his phone back, but Nick told him to concentrate on Victoria and the rest of his family and he would save the kidnapped Sharon. Brad told him he just signed Sharon's death warrant. Nick called Nikki and asked her to join Noah at Casey's, but Nikki refused. Neil and Carmen came to see Nick and he informed them that he was going to be leaving town for a while. When Neil expressed curiosity about what was going on, Nick just said he would be unreachable, and that Nick should handle any important pending company business.
At the Winters' apartment, Dru was on the phone with Devon, wanting to speak to Lily. Lily (lying sadly on the couch) didn't want to speak with her, even though Devon told her Dru was just trying to help. Lily told Devon she wasn't afraid of Alex anymore. She said she was sad about what was going on between her and Daniel. Lily filled Devon in on Daniel's role in Alex's trying to rape her. Devon was extremely angry, and as Lily tried to defend Daniel, Devon told her to face facts -- that it was a stupid mistake for her to marry Daniel.
At Newman Enterprises, Carmen returned Neil's sunglasses to him -- he had left them at her apartment the night they had dinner together. Dru overheard the conversation. Later, Dru asked Neil what he and Carmen were discussing and he said that he didn't remember. When Dru confronts him about the sunglasses left at her apartment, Neil told her that he had had dinner there -- but he had dinner with many friends while Dru was out of town. Neil coldly asked Dru if there was anything else, and she snidely said there was nothing else before she walked out. Later, at home, Dru found a despondent Lily and they talked a little bit about the situation with Daniel. Dru suggested that the two of them (Dru and Lily) have dinner together tonight, but she told Dru that she was going to the movies with Sierra. As Lily left, Dru asked her where Devon was and Lily said he left to take care of some "business."
Devon went to Newman Enterprises to confront Daniel. They started getting into it, but Neil heard and broke it up. Phyllis also heard and saw the end of it. Devon and Daniel, both angry, left the break room. Phyllis told Neil she knew there was no excuse for what Daniel did -- Neil agreed. She then made a case for Lily and Daniel staying together -- that their marriage had worked so far against all odds -- then she told Neil that he had stayed with Dru in spite of what she did to him. She said that people screw up, but sometimes it was worth fighting to keep the relationship.
Neil arrived home and told Dru about Daniel and Devon getting into a fight. Dru then apologized for the way she acted earlier and jumping to conclusions about him and Carmen -- she asked Neil to pretend that it didn't happen. After dinner, Neil complimented Dru on how delicious the meal was. A sleepy Neil was going to get ready for bed, and Dru said she would be in shortly. Later, in bed, Dru made romantic overtures to Neil, but he rebuffed them, which left Dru upset.
Lily went to the Abbott gardening shed to pack some more of her things. Devon called her to join him and Sierra at the movies, but Lily said she didn't feel like going. She sat down and reminisced about all the good times she and Daniel had.
At Crimson Lights, Kevin and Daniel were talking about the Lily situation and whether or not Dru or Neil would call the police. Daniel said that Dru and Neil knew that Kevin was involved and never called the police -- so that he was the one who might be in trouble now. Phyllis came over and talked to Daniel about the problems with Lily -- she thought that Lily might want to hear from him. She got a text message from Nick asking her to meet him at the office -- since Daniel had to get back to work they left together. Jana came in and was amazed at how quiet it was in the coffeehouse. She wondered what Kevin was up to. Later, they played some basketball on the Athletic Club court. After they were done, Kevin said that they had done something he liked -- now it was time to do something she liked. They returned to Crimson Lights later -- they had climbed a water tower, even though both of them were afraid of heights! Jana said she climbs it for the challenge. After they closed the coffeehouse, they kissed passionately and left.
Phyllis went to Nick's office and he told her that he was leaving town, but was very secretive about where he was going. He did tell her that he made a deal with the kidnappers, and Brad was not going with him because he didn't trust Brad. Phyllis said it sounded dangerous and said that he should at least take Paul with him. Nick said he was going alone, and he wanted her to leave town as well, as the situation was starting to hit close to home. After some coaxing, she agreed to take care of some business at the site of a future NVP spa in California. She asked Nick what to do about Daniel -- he said Daniel should be okay, but he could accompany her to California if he wanted to. After Phyllis left, Nick stared at a picture of himself and Sharon, then made a phone call and told the person on the other end that it was Nick Newman -- and he wanted to know if the person was in possession of antiquities -- as he was interested in buying them.
Phyllis talked with Daniel and invited him to join her on the trip to California but Daniel declined, saying it would be like running away again, and he wanted to be in Genoa City in case Lily wanted to talk with him or reconcile. He wished Phyllis a good trip. Later, he went to the Abbott gardening shed where he found Lily, but as soon as he came in, she left, leaving a depressed Daniel.
Brad and Victoria were at home, where he told her how Nick's actions would put Sharon's life in more danger. Victoria said that she couldn't blame Nick, and wondered if, like him, Abby and Colleen were going to have to spend their lives in hiding. Brad promised to find a way out, but Victoria told him not to make promises he couldn't keep. Brad again told her that what Nick was doing was wrong -- that these people didn't want Nick's money -- they wanted the reliquary.
Later, there was a knock at the door, and Brad, with his gun drawn, opened it to find a beaten-up J.T.! Victoria and Brad brought him into the living room, where he expressed his concern about Colleen's safety. Brad told him that Colleen was safe and that he should trust him. J.T. said he didn't. J.T. told them that "they" have Sharon -- that he was at his motel, some guys knocked him out, tied him up at a construction site, brought Sharon in later, and then injected him with something that knocked him out. He was then put in a car trunk and dropped off just down the road from Brad's. Brad told J.T. he was lucky to be alive, and J.T. asked what these people wanted. Brad told him they were after the Grudgeon Reliquary, and Victoria explained what a reliquary is. J.T. asked Brad what that had to do with him being George Kaplan. Brad asked J.T. how much he knew -- and then told J.T. that it was complicated, but the people who murdered his family now wanted the Grudgeon Reliquary. Brad told J.T. he was not a murderer, and then continued to tell him the full story of what his mother did while in the concentration camp, and why the people were after Rebecca and him now. Victoria told J.T. that none of this would have happened if he didn't dig into Brad's background, but J.T. said that Victor hired him to do that. J.T. said he was trying to protect Victoria and Colleen from Brad, but Victoria thought that perhaps J.T. was just trying to smear Brad.
The mystery man called Brad and (while constantly calling him "George") told him that he no longer had any use for J.T. -- but Sharon Newman was another matter -- that her husband had called and promised him the Grudgeon Reliquary -- yet he was still empty-handed. Brad said they were doing everything they could to locate it. When the man asked what really was going on, Brad said they were tracking it down. The man said that either they had no idea where the reliquary was, or that Rebecca told him and he was lying. Brad told the man if he wanted the reliquary not to hurt Sharon. The man told Brad that time was slipping away -- and that he wanted the reliquary or his wife and children would be next!!
J.T. told Victoria and Brad that if he could do things over, he'd do them differently. Brad said that J.T. should have just come to him when he started getting information. Paul came in with an object in a suitcase for Victoria and Brad. Although Brad insisted that Victoria stay there, she told him that she was going to be part of whatever plan he put in place. Brad said they had to go. They needed to stop Nick before he made things worse.
J.T. was concerned because he hadn't been able to talk to Colleen. Later, Colleen called Brad's house and was surprised when J.T. answered the phone. She was relieved to hear that he was safe, but upset to know that the kidnappers still had Sharon. She assured J.T. that she was fine, even though she couldn't tell him where she was. She was happy to be spending time with the grandmother she didn't know she'd had. She also was glad that it turned out that her father wasn't a terrible person.
Later, J.T. and Paul slowly went over every frame of the videotape of a bound and gagged Sharon. Paul hoped they might find a clue they'd overlooked. J.T. remembered that he could hear trucks wherever they were being held. Then he and Paul saw what they thought might be writing on the floor where Sharon was lying.
Sharon regained consciousness and was able to remove her gag. She then saw something sharp on the floor and began sawing at the ties on her wrist. She finally broke them and untied her arms and legs. But as she stood up, trying to keep her balance, the door opened and her kidnapper came in.
After leaving a message for Phyllis to let her know he was okay, Nick had just set up a meeting with an art dealer when Brad and Victoria arrived. Although he didn't want either of them there, it was too late to send them away when the dealer showed up. By showing the dealer another piece from the collection that they'd obtained through Paul, they convinced him that they were serious buyers with no questions asked. But the dealer had no information on the piece they were looking for. Victoria offered to buy two other reliquaries and negotiated with him, giving him more than market value. After the dealer left and Brad demanded to know why she'd done that, Victoria said word would get out in the art world that the Newmans were willing to pay for pieces from the collection for more than they were worth. It was possible that whoever had the reliquary would contact them.
While Brad argued with Nick and Victoria about their plans, his cell phone rang. Nick still had it in his pocket and answered it. It was the kidnapper, who told Nick that time was running out. Nick said he didn't have the reliquary, but he was sure he could get it soon. The kidnapper let Nick hear Sharon calling his name, then he said it was too late. While Nick gripped the phone, he heard the sound of a gun going off.
Lily and Daniel saw each other at Crimson Lights. Lily asked him to stay away from the Abbott house because she was starting to move her stuff back to her parents'. Daniel apologized again, then they went their separate ways. Having left several messages for Colleen, Lily finally went home alone to cry. Colleen called her, but she couldn't tell Lily where she was. She assured her that she was safe, and she'd found out her father wasn't one of the bad guys. She was upset to hear what Lily had found out about the Alex setup. Colleen blamed Kevin for everything. Lily said her parents wanted her to get out of her marriage, but she wasn't sure what she wanted to do.
After having been rejected by Neil the night before, Dru apologized to her husband for accusing him of getting too close to Carmen. Later, Dru and Neil both ran into Daniel separately at the office. Neil told Daniel to steer clear of him; in fact, to walk the other way when he saw Neil coming. Daniel said he was trying to make things right, but Neil wasn't interested in what Daniel had to say. Dru later told Daniel that he was to stay away from Lily. Nothing would make Dru happier than to see Daniel rotting in jail.
Dru ran into Carmen when she was looking for Neil. She apologized for her behavior from the day before, and even asked Carmen to lunch. Carmen said she had a conference call and couldn't make it. So Dru made another lunch appointment. When she found out that Neil had been willing to have lunch with her, Dru wanted to cancel, but Neil said they could do it another time. He then left for Crimson Lights, and Drucilla called and canceled her lunch date.
Carmen went into Crimson Lights to get a salad to go, but Neil talked her into sitting down and eating a meal without trying to take care of business at the same time. They were enjoying each other's company when Dru came in. Carmen made a quick exit, and Neil got annoyed when Drucilla once again became suspicious of Carmen and him. Dru demanded that he stay away from Carmen, because she could tell the two of them were flirting. Neil warned Dru to back off.
Jack and Ashley prepare for a visit with John. Today is John's birthday, and Ashley tries to get John a special gift. Gloria comes in and is happy that they haven't left yet. Jack asks if Gloria could see John at a later time. Gloria says that it would be better if they could all go to show John that they all can get along. Jack asks why he should lie. Michael comes in and announces that he may have found a way to get John out of jail. The Abbots are overjoyed, Jack shakes Michael's hand.
Katherine visits John in jail for his birthday. John is depressed; he tells her how hard it is to be in jail on his birthday. Gloria shows up and tells John the good news. John's sad demeanor is instantly changed. He hugs Gloria with joy. Katherine tells John that now he can come back to work for Jabot.
Gloria and Katherine gush about how happy they are that John will be getting out of jail soon. Katherine notices a necklace that Gloria is wearing, and Gloria says that she made it as a prototype for the Jabot perfume line, Charmed. Katherine thinks that making charms to go with the perfume is a wonderful idea. Jill hears the idea and agrees. Ashley doesn't want them rushing into anything before John returns.
When Ashley and Jack visit John, they are all happy. John can't believe what a wonderful present this news is. When Jack is alone with John, he suggests that maybe John not get back into working so quickly. He also tells John that he wouldn't be happy if Gloria was working there. John tells Jack that he better get used to it. When Jack says goodbye and happy birthday to his father, John sits alone and suddenly feels strange. He can't see anything out of his right eye.
Michael visits Lauren at Crimson Lights and tells her to kiss him in public. He tells her the good news about John. Lauren tells Michael that she has some information about the whereabouts of his grandmother. They also decide to find out the sex of the baby. But, when Michael calls, Lauren changes her mind. Gloria shows up, and isn't pleased with the news that Michael is searching for his father.
Nick begs Sharon's kidnapper for more time to find the reliquary. He hears a shot over the phone and thinks that Sharon has been killed. Nick freaks out, thinking he has failed Sharon. Brad asks Nick to put their differences aside for Sharon's safety. Brad receives a call from the kidnapper, asking Brad if he got the message. He says that he will give Brad a little more time to find the reliquary, but if he doesn't find it, it will be the end of Sharon. Victoria, Brad and Nick get together to purchase the shape reliquaries and Victoria tries to make the real reliquary the kidnapper/killer is looking for.
Paul and J.T. try to figure out what the note Sharon left for them means. They find out that it's not a license plate, but a shipping hub for Gerald trucking in Cleveland. Paul discovers that the hub isn't too far away from where J.T. and Sharon were last held.
Kevin talked to Daniel at Crimson Lights about the situation between Daniel and Lily. He thought Daniel shouldn't have told her the truth, but Daniel said he'd been wrong not to tell her sooner. He'd broken Lily's trust. Kevin reminded him that Lily wasn't perfect. She, too, had lied about things and deceived people. Daniel didn't want to hear anything negative about his wife, who he was sure he'd lost forever.
Gloria was planning John's homecoming and Jack and Ashley told her that she should keep it small and intimate. It was a special occasion, but it should be just family. While they were talking, Jack received a call. John had been rushed to Genoa City Memorial Hospital.
When the Abbotts arrived at the hospital, Katherine joined them. Later, John's doctor said he'd suffered a mild stroke. He was stable and had been brought in early, so the doctor was hoping for a positive outcome. Gloria called Kevin and asked him to come to the hospital to be with her. Kevin asked Daniel to watch over Crimson Lights while he was gone, and Daniel agreed.
Gloria was allowed to see John, who seemed very upbeat. He promised Gloria that he'd be well soon and coming home to her. While Gloria was with John, Kevin arrived at the hospital. Ashley and Jack told him that Michael had been working quietly with the governor to get John's prison sentence commuted to time served. Kevin was delighted to hear that John might be home soon.
Katherine assured the Abbotts that John was a strong man. He'd weathered many difficulties in his life, and he'd come through this one, too. Ashley got to see her father for a few minutes, and he told her that he had everything he needed. When Jack came in, he urged his children to be kind to Gloria, because she was very upset about everything. He hugged them both and told them that he loved them. The nurse asked Ashley to leave, and Jack assured his father he was going to see to it that he didn't go back to prison. John began having difficulty breathing, and the nurse asked Jack to step out of the room.
When Jack joined the others in the waiting room, they were alarmed to hear that John's condition seemed to have worsened. When they heard a code called and saw heart equipment being wheeled through the hall, they realized that something was going on in John's room. Gloria had been feeling a sense of foreboding in the pit of her stomach and now it looked as if her worst fears were coming true.
Dru and Neil tried to get Lily to eat, but she wasn't hungry. Dru wondered what she could do to make her daughter feel better, but Lily just wanted to be left alone. Neil then told her that it was time for her to move on with her life. He'd spoken to an attorney, who said Lily didn't have to get a divorce. Since she'd been underage when she got married, and had forged the consent forms, Neil would be able to petition the court for an annulment on Lily's behalf. Upset, Lily said that she would make her own decisions from now on, about what she did and where she lived. She left the apartment because she said it felt like her parents were smothering her.
After Lily left, Dru and Neil raged at each other. Dru accused Neil of pushing for an annulment too soon. He was going to drive Lily back into Daniel's arms. Neil said all of this really had started with Dru and her lies about Lily's paternity. Lily felt like she couldn't trust anyone anymore. Dru said she was tired of being crucified for her past mistakes. She'd made those decisions to protect her family. Neil told Dru that he was as tired of everything as Lily was. It was time for all of them to move on. Then he walked out on a surprised and angry Dru.
Lily went to Crimson Lights and was upset to see Daniel behind the counter. When he offered her something to drink, she walked out to the patio. Daniel followed and asked what else was wrong. Lily said her parents were driving her crazy. Once again, they were trying to make her decisions for her. She couldn't live there, but she had nowhere else to go. There was no one she could trust anymore. She felt alone. Daniel didn't try to persuade Lily to do anything, he just walked over to her, and Lily let him hold her. | <urn:uuid:90e2737c-bdee-49ec-915a-a8f56e070989> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://soapcentral.com/yr/recaps/2006/060807.php | 2017-05-29T22:41:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463613135.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529223110-20170530003110-00066.warc.gz | en | 0.995902 | 6,988 | [

Canadian Museum of Civilization highlights Métis artist Bob Boyer’s cultural legacyJune 7, 2012
For immediate release
Gatineau, Quebec, June 7, 2012—The Canadian Museum of Civilization presents a major retrospective of world-renowned Métis artist, art historian, curator and educator Bob Boyer. Bob Boyer – His Life’s Work, which opens on June 7, honours the artist’s advocacy, his impact on education and his promotion of cultural knowledge about Canada’s First Peoples.
This is the first large-scale exhibition devoted to Boyer, who was a passionate champion for the recognition of First Peoples’ contributions to Canada’s cultural and social life. Featuring 58 powerful works of art produced between 1968 and 2004, the exhibition takes a fresh look at Boyer’s exploration of traditional motifs, which he used to reveal important aspects of contemporary Aboriginal life.
“Because it highlights the vitality and significance of contemporary Aboriginal culture,
Bob Boyer – His Life’s Work is a perfect complement to the historical and ethnographical First Peoples collections for which the Museum of Civilization is so well known,” said Mark O’Neill, President and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation. “Boyer’s contributions to Canada’s social and cultural history reach far beyond his impressive artistic accomplishments. His work as an educator and curator were instrumental in promoting knowledge and a deeper understanding of the First Peoples’ rich heritage and their importance to our national narrative.”
Boyer was born in 1948 in Saskatchewan, and served as a faculty member of the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (now the First Nations University of Canada) in Regina from 1978 until his death in 2004. He had a far-reaching influence on countless artists and students, and his exhibition history paralleled the history of contemporary Aboriginal art in Canada.
While Boyer explored many artistic approaches and worked in a variety of media during his career, he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed series of blanket paintings. Using flannel blankets as the painting surface, he combined elements of historical Northern Plains design with personal symbolism and contemporary references. The exhibition features many of these powerful “blanket-statements” depicting the harmful impacts of the colonial process on Aboriginal philosophies, land, religions and cultures.
In addition to the many works of art—from representational portraits and landscapes to large-scale abstract paintings—the exhibition incorporates videos and quotations that give voice to Boyer’s intentions and inspirations. It also includes first-person statements by curators and artists who knew him well, and who speak in a personal and passionate way about their own interpretations of Boyer’s artwork and its significance.
Bob Boyer – His Life’s Work is presented at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau from June 7 to November 4, 2012. The exhibition is organized by the MacKenzie Art Gallery in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Civilization and made possible in part through a contribution from the Museums Assistance Program, Department of Canadian Heritage.
The Canadian Museum of Civilization is the centre for research and public information on the social and human history of the country. Located on the shores of the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec, the Museum is Canada’s largest and most popular cultural institution, attracting over 1.2 million visitors each year. The Museum of Civilization’s principal role is to preserve and promote the heritage of Canada for present and future generations, thereby contributing to the promotion and enhancement of Canadian identity.

The Body Book is out -- and author Cameron Diaz did not hesitate to bare her thoughts on a range of bodily topics, including laser hair removal, which she called a "crazy idea."
"I hear that there's a big fad these days of young women undergoing laser hair removal on all of their lady bits," wrote The Counselor star, 41. Diaz dedicated an entire chapter, titled "In Praise of Pubes," of her holistic, long-term health guide book to encourage women to embrace their natural "pretty draping."
"It’s a personal decision, but I’m just putting it out there: Consider leaving your vagina fully dressed, ladies," the blonde actress wrote. "Let’s be honest: Just like every other part of your body, your labia major is not immune to gravity."
"I know you may think you'll be wearing the same style of shoes forever and the same style of jeans forever, but you won't," she explained. "The idea that vaginas are preferable in a hairless state is a pretty recent phenomenon. All fads change, people."
The author also candidly discussed her painful struggle with acne and how she overcame the particularly painful phase of her beauty life. "I mean, I had terrible, terrible, skin," she confessed. "It was embarrassing, and I did everything I could think of to make it go away. I tried to cover it with makeup. I tried to get rid of it with medication: oral, topical, even the harshest prescriptions. Nothing helped for very long."
"Looking back, I realize that I hadn’t needed those prescription drugs, those vials of potions and creams," Diaz wrote. "I hadn’t needed to be angry at my skin or feel bad about myself. I had just needed to LISTEN TO MY BODY."
Staying true to her own advice, the actress has been keeping her life healthy and happy. On Friday, Jan. 3, the star went for a morning hike with photographer Amanda de Cadenet: "#startingthemorningright #girltime #goodconversation," wrote the new Twitter user, along with a barefaced photo of herself, wearing plaid, about to embark on an outdoor adventure. | <urn:uuid:820bebac-2d2e-4053-892c-7169bd5f1ab7> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/cameron-diaz-lady-bits-terrible-acne-battle-new-book-advice-201431 | 2017-05-29T22:59:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463613135.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529223110-20170530003110-00066.warc.gz | en | 0.978512 | 468 | [

Malcolm Wade passed away in England on 3 March 2015, a day before his 82nd birthday. He was a former chairman of The Malaya Study Group (1975–1978). The Malaya Study Group promotes the understanding and appreciation of Malayan philately and its members comprise collectors of the stamps, postal stationery and postal history of the states of Peninsular West Malaysia. In an obituary posted on the group’s website, the editor wrote that Malcolm, who had been a member since 1969, “was always a very thorough researcher, and was noted for always helping other members, and introducing them to new areas of Malayan collecting. His displays were renowned and always anticipated with interest. Memorable ones in recent years were Penang, Perak, and of course BMA. He was a major influence in the study of the postmarks of Malaya.” Malcolm was co-author of the books Penang Postcard Collection: 1899-1930s and Perak Postcards 1890s-1940s (with Khoo Salma Nasution and Abdur-Razzaq Lubis).

The Freedom Flag
I posted recently about the Freedom Flag to the website page where you can order a flag for yourself, sponsor a flag for a school, or order a lapel pin.
I also have a link to learn more about the Foundation, but thought I would provide some information here:
The Freedom Flag Foundation was first envisioned in November of 2001. This was a direct result of a recognized interest in the flag by the educational community. It became apparent that the Freedom Flag had a significant visceral effect on teachers who viewed it and requested copies of there own for use in their classrooms. This recognized acceptance and popularity of the Freedom Flag allowed Richard Melito, the flag's designer, to expand on his purpose for the flag. By December 2001 it seemed obvious that the flag would need a vehicle through which its purpose could be directed. Groundwork began in January of 2002 for the formation of a non-profit foundation with an appropriate mission statement and goals to support its mission. The Freedom Flag Foundation was registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia in May of 2002 and received its initial status as a 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service in November of 2002. It currently operates out of Richmond, Virginia. Four Richmond area residents serve on the Board of Trustees.
The Foundation generates revenue through sponsorship fees it receives for the Freedom Flag Project. Funds are used by the Foundation to purchase inventory, produce print materials, and offset some operational expenses. With increased participation in the school sponsorship program the Freedom Flag Foundation will establish a fully operational office with a staff whose purpose shall be the promotion and distribution of the Freedom Flag, the creation of teaching resource materials that can be used on future September 11ths, and an interactive website that will offer free educational resources to help teach students to honor, remember, revisit, and learn from those catastrophic events of September 11, 2001. | <urn:uuid:497176f9-d332-4a91-8898-d5f71652e74d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://inmycorner.blogspot.com/2008_09_07_archive.html | 2017-05-23T08:48:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607593.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523083809-20170523103809-00007.warc.gz | en | 0.964363 | 374 | [

Trine 2 is another port of a game that was already released on numerous other platforms, but this is the first time the world has seen the "Director's Cut" edition of the game. It's a 2D fantasy puzzle-platformer in which you switch between mage, warrior and thief characters on the fly to navigate the environment and fight enemies.
The game was already gorgeous, but due to the Wii U's impressive GPU it's received a visual boost over the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. It's also got the past DLC and some new content, plus GamePad touch screen controls.
It's got the distinct advantage right now of being one of the only eShop titles available on the Wii U. Oh, and it's even got multiplayer—having a friend take control of another character for co-op is a blast. You basically can't go wrong here. | <urn:uuid:584d357f-1cbd-4c9c-acef-48577ec70b2a> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2012/11/the-10-best-wii-u-launch-titles/6 | 2017-05-24T08:17:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607806.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524074252-20170524094252-00339.warc.gz | en | 0.974142 | 178 | [

I'm often asked about my eyebrows. I've always had big bushy brows but thanks to Cara big brows are back in and finally I feel comfortable with the slugs that line my eyes. Today I thought I'd share my number 1 brow tip!
My number 1 tip with brows is to just go with the shape. One thing I learnt really on in my brow journey that trying to change my natural brow shape too much can lead to much disappointment.
If you don't have naturally arched eyebrows no matter what you try and do they arent going to look natural if you're getting them shaped up to your forehead. Also be really really careful when it comes to the middle of your brows. I spent about a year reshaping the front of my brows after a terrible over zealous threading session. It makes a huge difference to your brow shape and how they balance out your features.
Check how your eyebrows naturally fall rather than trying to get them waxed/plucked/threaded into a shape. They might look good when you first get them done but overtime they'll loose shape quicker and look messier.
If you're not confident with brow shaping recommend going to a professional and asking them about what shape they think your brows should be. If in doubt always go ask for help. It'll save you a lot of tears and upset. No body wants to be left with tadpole sperm brows? Amirite? | <urn:uuid:58de0b68-c7ed-4a0b-bb58-05925530239d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.llymlrs.com/2014/08/the-best-brow-tip-ever.html | 2017-05-24T07:52:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607806.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524074252-20170524094252-00339.warc.gz | en | 0.974131 | 298 | [

And if you’re an experienced pie maker, you’ll enjoy the wide variety and creative recipes to choose from!
Here’s the recipe for Spanakopita…no need to make any dough for this, since it calls for purchased phyllo dough. If you haven’t ever used phyllo sheets in a recipe, you may find it a little tricky to work with because they are so thin and delicate…but after folding a few spanakopitas, you’ll get the hang of it! 🙂
SPANAKOPITA from 175 Best Mini Pie Recipes
Makes 24 Triangles
When people think of Greek food, spanakopita is likely one of the first dishes that come to mind. Serve these crisp spinach and feta phyllo pies as a flavorful vegetarian appetizer at parties–they will quickly disappear!–Julie Ann Hession
- 1 Tablespoon (15 mL) unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
- 12 ounces (375 g) fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green onions
- 2 Tablespoons (30 mL) chopped parsley
- 1 Tablespoon (15 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2mL) freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup (250 mL) crumbled feta cheese
- 24 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C), positioning racks in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
1. Filling: In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
2. Squeeze excess liquid from spinach, then transfer to a cutting board. Chop coarsely and place in a large bowl. Add green onions, parsley, lemon juice, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; stir to blend. Add feta and toss to blend.
3. Place one sheet of phyllo on clean work surface, short side facing you. Working quickly, brush with melted butter and fold in half lengthwise. Brush again with butter.
4. Spoon 1 heaping Tablespoon (20 mL) spinach filling onto bottom left side of strip, leaving about a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border at the bottom. Fold bottom left corner over the filling to form a triangle, then continue to fold triangles up the strip of phyllo to the top as if you were folding a flag. Brush top of triangle with butter, pressing end to seal. Place triangle, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling, making 24 triangles.
5. Bake in preheated oven at 375˚F for 18 to 20 minutes, switching positions of baking sheets halfway through, until phyllo is deep golden brown and crisp. Cool slightly and serve warm.
Tip: The key to making perfectly crisp spanakopita is to ensure that excess liquid is removed from the spinach before filling. If your filling begins to produce liquid while you are still constructing the triangles, remove it by straining or by pressing the spoonful against the side of the bowl before placing on the pastry. This will make the difference between soggy and spectacular bits.
Make Ahead: Spanakopita can be assembled and frozen for up to five days. Freeze pies for 30 minutes on baking sheets, then seal in zip-top bags. Bake from frozen as directed.

- The legalization of possession and cultivation for adults and other changes to existing law would take effect on July 1, 2018.
- The Marijuana Regulation Commission would begin meeting by August 1, 2017 and would submit its proposal to the Legislature by November 1.
Allowing Simple Possession and Cultivation for Adults
Adults 21 and older could:
- Possess up to one ounce of marijuana or five grams of hashish;
- Cultivate up to two mature and four immature plants in a secure location (the plant limit applies to the entire dwelling); and
- Possess the marijuana produced by the plants at the same secure location.
- Cultivation of up to two mature marijuana plants and up to four immature plants by a person under 21 would be downgraded to a civil offense. A first offense would carry a $300 civil fine, a 30-day driver’s license suspension, and enrollment in a Youth Substance Abuse Safety Program. For a subsequent offense, the civil fine would increase to $600, and the driver’s license suspension would last for 90 days.
Limitations and Prohibited Acts
- Providing marijuana to minors: People over 21 who furnish marijuana to anyone under 21 — or who knowingly enable their consumption of marijuana — would face up to two years incarceration and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
- Dangerous extractions: Individuals who make marijuana concentrates with butane or hexane would face up to two years incarceration and/or a fine of up to $2,000. If someone were seriously injured as a result, they would face up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
- Public Use: It would not be legal to consume marijuana in public places including streets, sidewalks, and public buildings.
- Secure Cultivation: Marijuana cultivation would be required to take place on property the grower lawfully possesses; the plants would have to be screened from public view and secure from unauthorized access (including from those under 21).
- Penalties for Violating Public Use and Secure Cultivation Provisions: The penalties for public consumption and breaking the security limitations on marijuana cultivation would be a civil fine of up to $100 for a first offense, up to $200 for a second offense, and up to $500 for additional offenses.
- Vehicles: Current civil penalties for possessing an open container of alcohol while driving, or for consuming alcohol while driving, would be applied to marijuana. Civil penalties for smoking tobacco while a child is in a vehicle would be applied to using marijuana while a child is in the vehicle.
- Day Care: The prohibition on using tobacco at child care facilities while children are present would be applied to marijuana. Cultivation at a licensed or registered family child care home would be prohibited.
- S. 22 would not:
- Prevent municipalities from imposing additional penalties for public consumption of marijuana;
- Modify or repeal prohibitions on driving under the influence;
- Limit schools’ abilities to impose additional administrative penalties for marijuana possession on school grounds; or
- Prevent landlords from prohibiting cannabis possession or use in a lease.
Marijuana Regulatory Commission
- S. 22 would establish a nine-member study commission to “develop legislation that establishes a comprehensive regulatory and revenue system for an adult-use marijuana market that, when compared to the current illegal marijuana market, increases public safety and reduces harm to public health.”
- The members would be two members of the House of Representatives, two senators, someone appointed by the governor, two members of the public, the Attorney General or designee, and the Secretary of Agriculture, Food and Markets or designee.
- The first meeting would have to happen by August 1, 2017, and its proposed legislation would have to be submitted to the General Assembly and the governor by November 1, 2017. The commission would cease existing by January 30, 2018. | <urn:uuid:8a6cb12a-3927-464a-8e03-88d01abd5691> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.mpp.org/states/vermont/s-22-summary-passed-vermont-legislature/ | 2017-05-24T07:46:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607806.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524074252-20170524094252-00339.warc.gz | en | 0.954823 | 798 | [

The cultural changes of the period under study [1900-1925] are dominated by one phenomenon: the replacement of classical Chinese by quoc ngu [国語 national language] as the official national writing system of Vietnam. The French, already from the beginning of their administration of Vietnam, had encouraged the use of that script to replace the Chinese characters. In their view, that was the most effective way to wean the Vietnamese from China’s multi-millenary cultural influence. Little did they anticipate that the Vietnamese were going to use the quoc ngu to mobilize the country against them.Here are some examples of Vietnamese renditions of Classical Chinese.
It was, however, only toward the beginning of the 1920s that the Vietnamese warmed up to it and used it readily in their every day activities. In the early years of the twentieth century, Phan Boi Chau and Phan Chau Trinh still wrote all their works in classical Chinese. Even in 1924, in Paris, Phan Chau Trinh composed his many letters asking the French minister of Colonies to allow him to go home in the purest style of classical Chinese. The Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc [東京義塾 Eastern Capital Free School, named for Fukuzawa Yukichi's Tokyo Gijuku (later Keio)] published their classic material in Chinese. The proclamation of the Thai Nguyen mutiny was written in Chinese. Classical Chinese survived at least to the middle of the century for two reasons. The last Confucian examinations were held only in 1918 in Hue, and the royal court of Annam will continue to use Chinese in its official documents until 1945, naturally with a great deal of translations into quoc ngu and French, for, to my knowledge, the last Vietnamese emperor had an exclusively French education.
Although sponsored by the French Security Services, the magazine Nam Phong [南風 South Wind] contributed in an important measure to the vernacularization and to the enrichment of the national script. To some extent, Nam Phong did almost exactly what the Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc dreamt of doing a decade earlier. It translated a vast variety of books or articles in philosophy, in natural and human sciences written mostly in French into quoc ngu. Thus, it introduced foreign cultures and sciences to the Vietnamese people while encouraging them to use a medium which is scientific and rich enough to express their ideas. From the 1920s, newspapers, publishing houses mushroomed and put out an impressive number of books in literature, poetry, sociology, political, social, and natural sciences, all written in the national script. A definite break with the Chinese or nom tradition has been imperceptibly effected and new generations will only deal with the alphabetical writing system.

Although it hasn’t arrived yet, 2017 is already shaping up to be an interesting year for decor. There’s a sea change coming to our homes that designers have been sensing over the past few months, especially in areas that have long been dominated by one look. For example: granite countertops. For the longest time, you couldn’t watch five minutes of a real estate hunting–type show without hearing a potential homeowner wax poetically about the virtues of the pricey material. But a cursory glance through Instagram’s top design accounts shows a surprising lack of the ubiquitous material, which possibly signals the end of the granite era. Instead, trends for 2017 are all about options that express your unique perspective on decor — and this idea goes far beyond our kitchens.
“Home interiors and the concept of ‘living well’ [are] changing,” says New York, NY–based interior designer Heather Higgins. “It is less about opulence and fashion and more about comfort, ease, and a sense of personal style.” The emphasis on individualism is resulting in the rise of trends that are anything but traditional. Here are the top looks that have registered on the radar of design experts, along with a few formerly popular decor ideas that will be on the wane in 2017.

Tung Sol 6L6 GC STR 2 pair Matched
The Tung-Sol 6L6GC-STR reissue is a remake of the classic early American 5881 design from the late 1950s. Importantly this valve has had its specification improved to provide 30 watt plate dissipation like a normal 6L6GC unlike the Tung-sol reissue 5881. So you can use this valve in all modern as well as vintage amplifiers.
The Reissue features a very rugged design and uses a black anode coating which slightly changes it performance giving a nice smooth, warm sound. This valve under extreme settings does have better control and a smoother treble than its smaller 5881 brother.
This Tung-Sol 6L6GC -STR provides a real thick tone with more bass extension than the 5881 Tung-Sol RI. This is a great all round 6L6GC if you want a tight and punchy sound.
Great tube in Fenders if you are looking for an upgrade to the 5881WXT Sovtek and Groove tube 6L6R for a similar price.

A bedrock album of the loosely defined electronic music genre known (derisively, in some quarters) as “chillwave,” Neon Indian’s 2009 debut, Psychic Chasms, was an unassuming collection of smudged, psychedelic synth-pop songs seemingly inspired by old training-video soundtracks and secondhand ’80s pop mix-tapes. It was breezy, featherweight fun, and hardly worth the knee-jerk contentiousness that chillwave acts tend to inspire. Psychic Chasms was likeable, but also ephemeral—the very definition of music with nothing at stake.
Era Extraña has the trappings of a weightier effort, with Neon Indian mastermind Alan Palomo expanding on the handmade soundscapes of Psychic Chasms with producer Dave Fridmann, who has a long history of shepherding small-time indie-rockers into the recording big leagues. But while Era Extraña sounds a bit fuller—the tinkling keyboard riff of “Polish Girl” rings out with greater clarity, and the vocals on “Future Slick” are creamier—the album is basically Psychic Chasms Part II. That isn’t a bad thing to be, though like most sequels, it’s less satisfying than its predecessor.
Era Extraña isn’t served well by coming out a few months after Within And Without, the elegant full-length debut by Palomo’s chillwave counterpart Ernest Greene of Washed Out. Where Within is an immaculately conceived graduation from Greene’s early lo-fi work, Extraña is a minor refinement that still feels chintzy in places. The breathy “Halogen (I Could Be A Shadow)” alludes to the seductive pop of the early-’80s New Romantic movement, but Palomo doesn’t totally commit to the lush sound this music requires. Era Extraña still has plenty of hooks to offer, but Palomo has to take both feet out of the bedroom to move his music forward. | <urn:uuid:8d2ff380-cd1f-4da8-83a9-165ecb1c3c73> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.avclub.com/review/neon-indian-emera-extranaem-61599 | 2017-05-27T14:01:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608954.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527133144-20170527153144-00426.warc.gz | en | 0.930756 | 430 | [

The performance: Acting opposite Daniel Day-Lewis is a herculean task. Acting opposite Day-Lewis' iconic Lincoln beard? Fuhgeddaboudit! And yet, the epic facial hair McGill sports as Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton not only rises to the occasion but it also upon occasion surpasses its better-known counterpart. Sure, Lincoln, as Stanton famously said, "belongs to the ages." But as ZZ Top would tell you, so does Stanton's beard.
What the critics say: "Enough important facial hair to make the young beard farmers of 21st century Brooklyn weep tears of envy."

Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted banning of books across the United States.
Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular—provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.
The books featured during Banned Books Week have been targets of attempted bannings. Fortunately, while some books were banned or restricted, in a majority of cases the books were not banned, all thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, booksellers, and members of the community to retain the books in the library collections. Imagine how many more books might be challenged—and possibly banned or restricted—if librarians, teachers, and booksellers across the country did not use Banned Books Week each year to teach the importance of our First Amendment rights and the power of literature, and to draw attention to the danger that exists when restraints are imposed on the availability of information in a free society.
Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Library Association, the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, the Association of American Publishers, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and the National Association of College Stores. Banned Books Week is also endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. | <urn:uuid:d047e470-a4fa-40a8-a12f-9db1ccbf2e79> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.elizabethawhite.com/2012/09/30/banned-books-week-2012-celebrating-the-freedom-to-read/ | 2017-05-28T20:12:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463611560.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528200854-20170528220854-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.937228 | 339 | [

Main Line in and running.
All new Zonemaster Boosters are in, still working on finishing the last few main feeds for the track work to the boosters.
Have been building more point to back filling the rest of the layout starting with the last few points in Goulburn then on to Mittagong, Bethungra and Glenlee.
The backdrops for the bottom Half of the Layout are being done over the next 2 weekends then will be painted the Base sky colour I use which is Turbams North Bay
Now the NMRA convention tha was in Melbourne, is over and have learnt a lot of different options to doing things so I will be building some cardboard mock up. so to see how some of the building will look and if i have to shorten the length of them to fit on the layout.
My Plan I hope, is to get in and try to finish of Goulburn get every thing working right and start to build its structures and scenery, so other work will slow or stop til I get this work done. | <urn:uuid:c4d4ae0a-f687-4aae-8a0e-f3473ec0eef0> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://mainsouthlinelayout.blogspot.com/2011/10/ | 2017-05-30T03:42:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463613780.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170530031818-20170530051818-00042.warc.gz | en | 0.954538 | 215 | [

A patch has been released for PlayStation 3 users of Grand Theft Auto IV. You will be prompted to download the update the next time you load GTA IV whilst being signed into the PlayStation Network. While download and installation is required to continue playing the game; totaling 18 MB, it shouldn't keep you away for too long.
As for content, the patch addresses certain online issues related to GameSpy's servers being overloaded. Not surprising, considering the sheer number of those playing the game.
Rockstar Games has released a GTA IV patch for Playstation 3 today that prevents GameSpy’s servers from being overloaded and therefore reduces the impact on those servers that were causing the game to stutter and lock up. We continue to monitor the performance of the game both on and offline and will provide further updates as necessary. We want to assure everyone that, together with our hardware partners, we continue to strive to give our fans the best possible interactive entertainment experiences possible. This update will ensure that everyone will experience Grand Theft Auto IV the way it was intended. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
Results so far appear to be mixed, if discussion on our forums is anything to go by. | <urn:uuid:9025bc26-7857-4772-9595-697ccd9d76ad> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.gtanet.com/news/single.php?id=4107 | 2017-05-30T03:32:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463613780.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170530031818-20170530051818-00042.warc.gz | en | 0.943925 | 241 | [

Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni said the Clippers’ success this season can be traced directly to point guard Chris Paul, who has the ability to bring a team closer, to get them to play together.
“You can tell they have cohesiveness and that’s something Chris Paul gives them,” D’Antoni said before Friday’s game against the Clippers. “His personality is infectious. I’ve been with him on USA Basketball and he just brings everybody together. His enthusiasm is second to none.
“He has a winning personality, a winning smile. … He’s just trying to make the best play every time down the court, whatever that is and guys know that. When you have a leader like that, and he’s very inclusive – he includes everybody – he’s good at it.”
Paul brings leadership to the Clippers, but also can score and hand out assists. He posted 30 points, 13 assists, six rebounds and four steals Friday in the Clippers’ 103-97 victory against the Lakers.

Although home insurance can cover injuries, it’s typically only up to a certain point. Most policies, however, may readily reimburse minor injuries that happen on your property for up to $5,000. Although the insurer may not admit fault, they’re acknowledging the accident that took place on the property.
Aside from that basic level of coverage, your policy may pay up to $25,000 or more for medical bills and lost wages, but only when they find that the accident is the homeowner’s fault.
More often than not, an accident is caused by a hazard in your home. Take for instance when the homeowner removed the handrail to your basement stairs and then a visitor lost their balance there, or a visitor slips on a toy on the floor. If the visitor would’ve been more careful, the accident wouldn’t happen, right? Sometimes, the insurer may take the view that it’s the visitor’s fault, thereby declining a claims-payout.
When that happens, the visitor may decide to sue you. At this point, the home policyholder should receive legal hemp from the insurer if they’re getting sued over the injuries happening in their home.
What should you do when an accident happens?
When an injury happens in your home, help your case by taking pictures shortly after the accident to document the conditions in your home. Call your insurer immediately and provide insurance information to the victim.
The Difference between a Visitor and a Worker
When the person injured in your home is a worker on duty (a gardener, roofer, or carpenter, for example), their injuries may be covered by their employers’ insurance, especially when it’s clearly their fault.
Thus if a roofer fails to secure themselves while working on your roof and falls off, you’re probably not going to be liable for it. But if it is found that you’re somehow negligent and it resulted in their injury, they can come after you.
Whether you own the house or rent, your home or renter’s insurance usually includes coverage for visitors’ injuries. If you want to protect yourself from injury-related lawsuits, consider getting an umbrella policy.

FARM FRESH NOW! #6 : 4 Fresh Ideas for a Summer Meal
It's this week's "Farm Fresh Now!" Installment, and what a treat it is! There are four recipes for the price of one. But here's the rub. I was late posting this. I should have posted this before the 4th, because these ideas would have been great for your BBQs, and definitely what the chefs and folks at The Land Connection intended (I know, I'm sorry.) But truthfully these seasonal recipes would be wonderful for any BBQ this summer. So the way I rationalize my "OOPS! I am posting this late!" is that these are perfect all summer long. So there. Now go make some mint soda. It's probably taking over your yard anyway...as it is mine. I hope you had a great 4th!
Seeking out food from your local farmers is a patriotic thing to do. Fresh fruits and vegetables connect us in a literal and visceral way to our land, and buying them is good for our local farmers and local economy. And they taste great, and are good for you, too.
So this year, declare your independence from high-fat, high-sugar crackers, chips, dips, cookies, and other processed foods. Swap them out for low-calorie, high-nutrition fruits and vegetables from local farms, and this will be your best Fourth ever!
From cool drinks to grilled vegetable side dishes to grilled peaches for desert, here are four ways to add fresh local foods to your celebration.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
Mint sprigs for garnishing
1. Make simple syrup by dissolving the sugar in the water in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Turn the heat off and stir in the chopped mint leaves. Let sit for a couple of minutes. When the mixture is cool, strain the mint leaves out.
3. Add two to four tablespoons (to taste) of the mint syrup to a glass of sparkling water. Add a mint sprig as a garnish.
Grilled Stuffed Peppers
Use red, yellow, or green bell peppers, or Italian or Hungarian sweet peppers.
3 sweet peppers, halved
8 oz mozzarella cheese (sliced)
1 large tomato, chopped
6 sprigs basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Cut each pepper in half and remove seeds. Fill each pepper with the chopped tomato, and drizzle olive oil over the top of the tomatoes.
2. Add a slice of mozzarella on top of the tomatoes, and then add a dash of salt and pepper and a sprig of basil.
3. Place the filled pepper halves on a hot grill, but not directly over the flame. Cover and grill for about 30 minutes, or until the pepper is soft.
Parsley Pesto Potatoes, Grilled
Herb pesto is quick and easy to make in a food processor. Make a double batch, and use the extra on crackers or sandwiches.
1 cup fresh parsley, removed from the stems
1 cup pecans (you can substitute walnuts or pine nuts)
¼ cup hard cheese such as romano, grated
¼ cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
1 to 2 pounds small new potatoes (or large potatoes cut into chunks)
1. To make the parsley pesto, put all the ingredients, except the potatoes, into a food processor and blend until well mixed.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the pesto.
3. Place the potatoes on a piece of foil on a hot grill, away from the direct flame. Cover the grill and cook until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. When you can easily pierce them with a fork, they're done.
Grilled Peaches with Tart Cherries
While the grill is still hot, make this quick, easy, and delicious dessert. If you have a big group, slice up some local watermelons, muskmelons, and honeydew melons on the dessert table alongside these peaches.
1 cup tart cherries, pitted
½ cup honey
1. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Coat the peaches in olive oil. If you have a citrus-infused olive oil, that is particularly nice!
2. Fill each peach half with some cherries, and drizzle with honey.
3. Place the peaches on the medium-hot grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until soft.
Seasonal Cook's Notes: Let food freedom ring! What are you cooking up with local foods for the Fourth? Send us your photos and links to the recipes you used, and we'll share them with our 1,000+ Facebook followers. If you'd like to include your name, location, and a caption for your photo, we'll share that as well. Send to [email protected].
The best way to enjoy healthy, seasonal produce is to buy it from your local community farmer. To locate the farmers' market or CSA nearest you, or visit www.localharvest.org.
Farm Fresh Now! is a project of The Land Connection, an educational nonprofit that preserves farmland, trains new farmers, and connects people with great locally-grown foods. This series is made possible with generous support from the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Free OSHA Posters
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires affected employers located in states and territories covered by Federal OSHA to display the Federal OSHA poster in an area(s) where employees are accustomed to seeing workplace notices, such as on an employee bulletin board or near the timeclock. Many employers purchase “All-in-One” posters that contain many other required federal and state-mandated posters in addition to the OSHA poster. However, employers can download and print the Federal OSHA workplace poster for free.
The Federal OSHA poster is available in an English version, as well as a Spanish version of the OSHA poster, and a new Polish version. There’s even a version of an OSHA poster for Federal Agencies to post in their workplaces; this is NOT to be confused with the poster required for private employers.
States that operate one of the approved State Plan OSHA Programs also have standards requiring affected employers in their states to post the appropriate State OSHA Poster in lieu of the Federal poster. These State OSHA posters are also available for free to download and print.
OSHA occasionally changes the appearance of their OSHA poster every few years, so subsequently there are several versions of the workplace poster available. If you have an older version of the Federal OSHA poster displayed in the workplace, it is not necessary to replace it with an updated version. Also, be sure to pay attention to any size requirements when printing OSHA posters. | <urn:uuid:c9020048-33c9-4cae-bab1-6051c0378f4f> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.osha.net/free-osha-stuff-from-osha-and-osha-net/download-free-osha-posters-no-need-to-pay/ | 2017-05-23T10:40:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607620.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523103136-20170523123136-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.949957 | 307 | [

The Galaxy King at Galaxy Macau
The Galaxy Hotel is one of five different hotel brands that operate inside of Galaxy Macau's three (as of 2016) hotel towers. The other four hotels - Hotel Okura, Banyan Tree Macau, JW Marriott and The Ritz-Carlton - are externally managed and operated, making Galaxy Hotel "the house brand."
Galaxy Hotel at Galaxy Macau occupies the entirety of the hotel tower located in the north eastern quadrant of the parcel (the one on the left in the above photo). The west tower houses the Banyan Tree and Hotel Okura (the one on the right in the above photo). The south tower, also the newest, is home to JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels. A future third phase of construction will bring yet another hotel tower and two more international hotel brands.
Despite the size of Galaxy Macau (it was originally to be called Galaxy Mega Resort) navigating the property is relatively easy. A casino snakes through the center of the parcel, with family friendly shopping promenades on either side. The Broadway, another Galaxy Entertainment owned property that was originally called Galaxy Grand Waldo, is easily accessible via a pedestrian bridge to the west. Old Town Taipa, a dazzling neighborhood full of interesting shops, sightseeing and dining, is an exquisite 10 minute stroll away. Other Cotai resorts - The Venetian, The Parisian and Studio City Macau are better accessed via cab, shuttle bus or the forthcoming light rail system.
I arrived at Galaxy Macau's main porte cochere via taxi from Studio City Macau. After hopping out of the cab, I dragged by bags through the lobby and onto a slightly raised bridge that meandered through an expansive lobby lounge filled with couches and trees bearing flowers made of light.
The bridge spilled out into Galaxy Hotel's lobby, a reservation desk with a rope rodeo containing a dozen or so people. The lobby is incredibly busy... full of moms, dads, children and packs of Chinese playboys. As I arrive at the rope rodeo, an employee motions me to get in the VIP line.
I'll take it, I hate standing in line.
Awaking me from a deep 'this-tile-is-really-worn-out' trance moments later, I was motioned to come up to the counter. The agent took my passport and my credit card and ran everything through the computer. She told me that I was checked into the hotel but they would not be giving out keys until 3pm. Upon leaving the lobby, a bellman flagged me down and checked my bags. He told me that it would be smart for me to come back between 2 and 2:30pm. I've got some time to kill. | <urn:uuid:daa3e032-14d1-4e05-bfb9-8af10b712872> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://macautripping.com/features/feature.php?feature_id=24&page=1 | 2017-05-24T11:45:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607813.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524112717-20170524132717-00061.warc.gz | en | 0.947298 | 582 | [

I nicked myself with my brothers razor.he used it 1hour before.whats the chance 1 out of 100 you can get hiv like this. the nick was so small on my neck.
Response from Dr. Wohl
Is your brother known to have HIV or are you just covering your bases? Regardless, sharing a razor, even with a nick, does not lead to transmission of this virus. This goes to show how difficult it is to transmit HIV non-sexually. So I lay the odds at zero out of 100.

WACO, Texas (May 11, 2012) -- A restored 1890s community on the Brazos River -- The Gov. Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village of Baylor University's Mayborn Museum Complex -- will re-open on Saturday, May 12, after having undergone a two-year revitalization.
Nestled on a hill adjacent to the Mayborn Museum Complex, the Historic Village will offer museum visitors a realistic glimpse into the past.
"We've kept the essence and original intent of this 25-year-old educational component of our museum complex and made it more accessible and user-friendly to visitors in our modern-day climate of learning," said Ellie Caston, Ph.D., the museum's director.
The story began in 1985 when Gov. Bill Daniel, his wife Vara Martin Daniel and their four children donated Plantation Ranch, a historic village, and thousands of artifacts to Baylor University. In October 1986, a parade-length caravan transported the buildings 236 miles from their original location in Liberty, Texas, to Waco. Upon arrival at the Baylor campus, the settlement was renamed The Gov. Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village in honor of the donors.
A visit to the renovated village will begin with an exhibit inside the Mayborn on the life of Gov. Daniel.
"Gov. Bill was a larger-than-life character who wore many hats during his extraordinary lifetime," Caston said. "We are fortunate that technology enables us to tell this story, which is so big that traditional exhibit methods just can't cover it all."
Two new touch-screen kiosks will be used in this exhibit, one offering information on Gov. Bill and Miss Vara and the Daniel family, and the other giving a preview of what visitors will experience once they step outdoors.
Integrating the Historic Village into the overall museum experience has been a major goal for the project. A new entrance leads from the museum indoor exhibits to outdoor ones, which include the Bill Daniel Law Office, a church, a school, a commissary, a tenant farmer's house, a planter's house with adjacent cook's house, a barn and a blacksmith shop. Each building has been fully renovated, with additions such as climate control to protect the artifacts on display.
"This is a huge step forward in that we will be able to more fully interpret the story of how people lived in the 1890s through the use of artifacts that will now be protected from the elements," says Trey Crumpton, village manager.
Making the Historic Village more attractive and accessible to the 100,000-plus visitors who annually come to the Mayborn Museum Complex was another important goal, Caston said.
"By blending some new features with the original village buildings, many more visitors will be able to participate," she said. "The new pavilion with picnic tables will be of great service to the thousands of school children who have lunch before or after their school program in the Historic Village. For the first time, some of the wheeled vehicles from the Daniel Collection will be safely displayed year-round in the new carriage house."
New walkways and ramps will make the village accessible for wheelchairs and easier for families with strollers. New perimeter fencing fully secures the site.
A variety of interpretive techniques will be offered, including written information at each building as well as the option of cell phone tours to hear first-person audio enactments describing the lives of village residents. Access will vary, with some buildings to be viewed only through windows, others to be open for visitors to walk through partitioned areas and others with full access.
Attention has been given to details, such as slates and a pot-bellied stove for the classroom, bells for the school and church, and canned goods with reproduction period labels for display on commissary shelves. Demonstrations and costumed interpreters will be available during special fall and spring events.
"It has been wonderful working with Gov. Bill and Miss Vara's daughters -- Ann Daniel Rogers, Susan Daniel and Dani Daniel Brister -- to reach our common goals of revitalization of the Historic Village and making it more accessible to all visitors," said Dr. Karla Leeper, Chief of Staff to the President at Baylor University. "The University's substantial financial commitment has made this possible and demonstrates how important the Gov. Bill & Vara Daniel Historic Village is to the Mayborn Museum Complex and the University."
Liz Taylor, director of the Waco Convention & Visitors Bureau, said the Historic Village will be "a tremendous attribute to promote to educational and other groups to learn about history and participate, and it will be amazing to have events there. This is really unique."
ABOUT GOV. BILL DANIEL
William Partlow Daniel (1915-2006) was a larger-than-life persona who got his start in the cattle business at age 7 and grew up to become governor of Guam and an actor in John Wayne's movie The Alamo. He left behind a legacy that includes the newly transformed Gov. Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village on the banks of the Brazos River at Baylor University.
As a young man, Daniel hitchhiked to Baylor during the 1930s with $7 in his pocket, determined to get an education. He helped pay his way as trainer and manager for Baylor's football team for all four years of college. His picture once appeared in Life magazine, showing him racing across Baylor's Carroll Field with armfuls of football equipment.
President of his junior and senior class at Baylor, he was elected by write-in vote as a yell leader in 1937-1938 and named Mr. Baylor Spirit in 1936-1938. He graduated from Baylor Law School in 1938, returning to Liberty to set up a law practice he maintained for more than 60 years. He received numerous tributes from the State Bar of Texas.
Daniel also had a successful political career. He served in the Texas House of Representatives from 1949-1953, was appointed to be the Ambassador at Large for Texas by President Eisenhower in 1957 and served as the Governor of Guam from May 1961-January 1963.
In 1949, Daniel gained title to the historic Plantation Ranch, founded in 1818 on the Trinity River. The Daniel family began restoring the village in Liberty in 1968, turning it into a modern, productive cattle ranch as well as a location to host more than half a million guests in philanthropic events. Ed Sullivan was so impressed that he recommended Daniel to assist John Wayne with his film, The Alamo. Daniel furnished more than 400 Longhorn cattle for it and filled three roles in the film.
Daniel attributed much of his success to his close-knit family and supportive wife, affectionately referred to as "Miss Vara." They met when she took the post of the music director for the Liberty school district. Vara died in 1987 at age 69.
The couple had four children: Will Daniel, Ann Daniel Rogers, Susan Daniel and Dani Daniel Brister. The Daniel family continues to grow with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In 1985, the Daniel family donated Plantation Ranch to Baylor, where it was renamed The Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village. In October 1986, a parade-length caravan transported the buildings and artifacts 236 miles from Plantation Ranch in Liberty to Waco, an effort that took two days and was delayed by pouring rain.
Other Baylor facilities that reflect Daniel's dedication to his alma mater include the Bill Daniel Student Center and the Hon. M.P. Daniel Esplanade. Gov. Bill and Vara also made possible the restoration of the George W. Carroll Science Hall.

Microsoft users will have no other choice with their updates since Windows 10 will update, which could be off to some people. Fortunately, the operating system will only add those deemed necessary with their update on computers having satellite broadband and pay-per-use bandwidth.
This Microsoft update is mandatory for users to have a smooth and convenient usage of Windows 10. In addition, The Redmond-based American multinational technology company is updating its system in order not to encounter huge patches. It is also expected to fix issues on the system.
This may not be a problem for Microsoft users having an unlimited service plan. In an article posted by Engadget, the update may have an issue for people using satellite broadband and pay-per-use bandwidth since it might end up being charged for data usage that they never planned to use in the first place
In response, Microsoft made sure to its users that the update will just automatically install updates necessary for Windows 10 to keep running smoothly and except for computers relying on satellite broadband and pay-per-use bandwidth.
In addition, an article from Express said that Windows claimed that they have no plans on sending huge updates on their users who are using limited connections. Microsoft also insisted that it is just going to add updates that can fix issues deemed critical in the future.
In the previous year, Microsoft was also involved in a case that cost them for forcing an update. They were forced to pay a user named Teri Goldstein $10,000 for not being willing to receive updates on her Windows 10 program because of her slow computer.
The Windows 10 upgrade will have VR support and better X-box integration for their user. A feature called Windows MyPeople will allow users to share photos and documents to other computers without apps. In addition, Microsoft will also have some playable ads that will allow users to try first the apps before installing.

The University of Minnesota Duluth campus is returning to normal after an uproar over a Facebook conversation in which two young white women mocked an African-American student in the same room.
When the black woman walked into the study hall, the two white students made disparaging online comments that included references to the jungle and characterizing blacks as thieves, said an African-American student who brought the incident to light.
That has led to a dialogue about racial insensitivity on the campus of 11,000, and a May 3 march against intolerance sponsored by UMD's Diversity Commission and the student group Students Promoting Awareness through Teaching.
University officials say the incident did not expose a pattern of intolerance, but they are considering cultural sensitivity sessions for students.
It did, however, spark an uproar among UMD's fewer than 150 African-American students.
Among them was freshman Awa Ada Kisob, who noticed the conversation. A few weeks ago Kisob was in a campus apartment study lounge where the two white students laughed about their Facebook chat. The online conversation was potentially open to hundreds of others, and Kisob was able to download it all.
"I was the one who originally reposted it on Facebook, so that was kind of my step forward," said, Kisob, of Minneapolis. "I have known about several incidents that have happened here on campus at UMD, and the school always tries to push it under the rug, and I refused to let this one go."
When Kisob arrived at the UMD Duluth last fall, she quickly discovered that her dark skin stood out in a sea of white people. Since then, she has always felt a little bit uncomfortable.
"I guess a lot of white students don't see it because it's not anything new to them, but I saw it as soon as I entered the doors to UMD on my first day of classes, when I was the [only] minority student in every one of my classes," she said.
Kisob said she has endured the occasional racial slight, often inadvertent but sometimes overt.
The fallout over the Facebook incident has at times been painful at a university that's been actively reaching out to students of color. UMD's Multicultural Center opened six years ago, home to staff and student programs designed to support minority students.
But it's been a challenge attracting students of color to the campus.
"Duluth is a great place, but I'm always concerned about the climate, in terms of social climate," said Daniel Oyinloye, a Kenyan-born graduate who's still active with a student group concerned with racism.
"They have great people in Duluth," Oyinloye said. "It's just that some times social climates get a little too tense ... you feel like you shouldn't be here."
Duluth itself is part of the challenge. According to the 2000 census, 93 percent of its residents are white. African Americans comprised only two percent of the population, about the same as Native Americans, with half that many of Asian descent. There were even fewer Hispanics.
Still, Susana Pelayo-Woodward, director of UMD's Office of Cultural Diversity said the campus has worked hard to create a friendly and culturally inclusive atmosphere. Although half the students come from the Twin Cities, it can be challenging to recruit students of color.
Pelayo-Woodward said potential students may feel out of place in a city short on grocery stores that cater to their tastes, entertainment and services like ethnic hair styling.
"They know that Duluth as a community, as a town, we're not very diverse," said Pelayo-Woodward, who is of Mexican heritage. "So that's another aspect, that if they're looking to live in a diverse community compared to St. Paul or Minneapolis, we are not."
She said attitudes on the UMD campus are no different from society as a whole, and that the Facebook incident, as it's become known, could have happened anywhere.
"I think as a country, [it's] something that we have a struggle, to talk about issues of race," Pelayo-Woodward said.
At UMD, it did open conversations. It led to classroom presentations, public forums and the May 3 demonstration, in which several hundred people marched across Duluth.
UMD Interim Vice Chancellor Jackie Millslagle acknowledged that the university may need to better address cultural diversity. She said university officials will consider requiring first year students to take a cultural diversity class. They're also considering recruiting goals so the student body better mirrors the state's diversity.
"The kind of thing we're looking at is where we have those gaps," she said. "And how we can close those gaps and continue to move forward in terms of making this an open and welcoming climate for all students."
Pelayo-Woodward said the incident spawned important conversation.
"By the comments of two people, many white people were perceived as though they were all racist, when in reality we had more allies that came forward," Pelayo-Woodward said. "I think the march was very significant."
The University has not identified the girls involved in the Facebook conversation. Officials say the students face potential disciplinary action, which they could not specify. | <urn:uuid:98f4f8e8-0cb5-488a-80b9-e96cf61a9ef7> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.mprnews.org/story/2010/05/14/duluth-facebook-racism | 2017-05-27T17:40:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608984.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527171852-20170527191852-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.980954 | 1,094 | [

French fries are obviously the best salty, golden, fried potato snack out there. But what if I told you to ditch the potato?
Panic would set in at first, of course, but never fear: Yuca fries are the crispy-creamy fried snack that just might be better than the old potato.
I had yuca fries for the first time at a Cuban restaurant in Los Angeles. I was immediately obsessed. Crispy and golden on the outside, dense yet fluffy on the inside, it was impossible to stop snacking on them (especially since they were so good at soaking up all of the garlicky mojo sauce they were served with).
Enjoyed throughout Central and South America, parts of Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean, yuca is the tuberous root of the cassava plant, which is also used to make tapioca. Yuca is similar in shape to a sweet potato, but with a rough, brown, waxy skin that looks more like a tree root than a regular potato.
Yuca is more calorically dense than a potato, but it also has more fiber and protein and less sugar. It has a higher carbohydrate content, but when you're frying yuca, this works to its advantage: Unlike french fries, yuca needs to be fried only once to get the perfect crispy, golden exterior.
To prepare yuca fries, you need to peel them. Cut them into wedges or planks, removing the woody inner core of the yuca. Yuca can turn brown when exposed to the air, so as you cut, add the fresh slices directly to a pot of cold water.
Once you're done slicing, bring the pot of water with the yuca to a boil, then lower the heat, and simmer until the yuca is tender and fraying (but not mushy).
Strain the yuca, and dry it on a layer of paper towels.
In the meantime, bring a pot of oil to 350 degrees F. Once it's reached the correct temperature, add the yuca (in batches if needed — don't crowd the pan, or they won't be as crispy). Fry until crispy and golden on the outside, flipping and turning the fries frequently so they cook evenly.
Remove the yuca fries from the oil, season with salt, and drain on paper towels. Serve with ketchup, spicy mayo, a garlicky mojo sauce — basically anything with a kick.
You can see the recipe for making yuca fries along with a Peruvian aji amarillo sauce at Serious Eats.
You can also try making crispy baked yuca fries with this recipe from The Healthy Maven.
So if you're ready to take a break from your beloved potato, why not try yuca? You may be able to find it at a typical grocery store, but try checking out Central or South American markets in your area too. Once you take the first crispy, carby bite, you won't regret trying something new.

4 Things That Make Diabetes Worse
Diabetes can be a scary, intimidating diagnosis to get. But it can be a manageable disease if you follow a healthy lifestyle and listen to your doctor.
It’ll also help if you do your body a favor and avoid the following bad habits that may worsen your diabetes symptoms and increase your complication risks:
Watching TV. One study found that for every two hours people spend glued to the tube, their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, or worsening their symptoms if they already had it, increases by 20 percent.
Skipping sleep. Not getting enough shut-eye can cause night sweats, which can worsen symptoms by dehydrating your body. Being tired or stressed can also increase your appetite for sugar and other diabetes no-no’s. | <urn:uuid:64537c31-1722-42be-8d09-92bb098df234> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://blackdoctor.org/14039/bad-diabetes-habits__trashed/ | 2017-05-27T17:35:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608984.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527171852-20170527191852-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.93528 | 161 | [

A US appeals court won’t revisit its decision to deny Department of Justice efforts to make Microsoft turn over customer emails stored overseas.
According to Grant Gross of the IDG News Service, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled in a 4-4 decision that it will not reverse its July decision to deny DOJ access to the email of a drug trafficking suspect stored on a Microsoft server in Ireland. Microsoft has fought the DOJ requests for more than three years.
The DOJ has argued that tech companies are trying to avoid valid warrants by storing customer data outside the US.
Judges “readily acknowledge the gravity of this concern,” the IDG News Service reported. But the 31-year-old US Stored Communications Act (SCA) doesn’t allow worldwide search under a US warrant, Judge Susan Carney wrote. She added:
We recognize at the same time that in many ways the SCA has been left behind by technology. It is overdue for a congressional revision that would continue to protect privacy but would more effectively balance concerns of international comity with law enforcement needs and service provider obligations in the global context in which this case arose.
In December 2013, a magistrate judge approved a search warrant for all emails and other information belonging to the Microsoft user under investigation. Microsoft tried to block the warrant for customer data held in Dublin, arguing that US courts lack the jurisdiction to issue extraterritorial warrants. | <urn:uuid:2c78bf98-2932-4ad7-8f78-d97a72f43299> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2017/01/25/court-rejects-us-government-appeal-in-case-of-microsoft-overseas-email/ | 2017-05-27T17:33:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608984.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527171852-20170527191852-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.952674 | 291 | [

Last Friday night, three men were killed and another one seriously injured in a hit and run in Sacramento, California. The fatal crash apparently happened just after 3:30 a.m. at the intersection of Central Parkway and Cosumnes River Boulevard. Local residents say that the intersection is particularly dangerous and that this is not the first accident to happen at the intersection. The two vehicles, a Lincoln and an Acura, collided in the middle of the intersection when one of the drivers apparently failed to stop. The vehicles collided with such force that both vehicles were thrown into a field in the northeast corner of the intersection. The force of the collision then caused the Acura to catch fire trapping two of the four occupants inside. The remaining two men were found outside of the vehicle with one being pronounced dead at the scene and the other being transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. The fatally injured men were identified as Gregory Valenzuela (22), Raoul Perez (23) and Manuel Ruiz (24). The driver of the Lincoln fled the scene of the accident but was later identified as Omar Carrasco (25). Carrasco was ultimately arrested later in the day when he sought medical treatment at a nearby hospital and now faces charges of felony hit and run.
While the investigation into this accident is still ongoing, it raises a number of questions regarding accidents that also have a criminal component to them. One of the biggest questions being if you are involved in an accident and the driver of the other car is arrested, where does that leave you with regard to any compensation that you might be entitled to for your injuries? Many people are under the impression that a choice has to be made – either the person faces criminal charges or you can sue him in a personal injury lawsuit. The truth is that you do not need to make a choice. Criminal charges for something such as hit and run are completely separate from a personal injury lawsuit. “There is no reason that you cannot proceed immediately with a personal injury lawsuit regardless of whether criminal charges have been filed” according to personal injury attorney Emery Ledger of Ledger & Associates in California. It is not necessary to wait for the outcome of any criminal charges to proceed, or even settle, a personal injury lawsuit.
Additionally, if criminal charges have been filed, it is not necessary to your personal injury suit that the driver be convicted on those charges. The burden of proof for a criminal case is a higher burden – beyond a reasonable doubt – than the burden in a civil personal injury lawsuit. The burden for your personal injury lawsuit is “beyond a preponderance of the evidence”. What this means to you is that even if the driver is not found guilty in his criminal case, he can still be found negligent in a personal injury case, says Emery Ledger of Ledger & Associates. However, it may help your personal injury case if he is ultimately found guilty in the criminal case so your best bet is to discuss with your personal injury attorney how to best proceed when there is also an open criminal proceeding.

LONDON.- Sothebys had successful sales of 19th Century European Paintings (which includes German, Austrian & Central European Paintings), Orientalist Art and Scandinavian Art at Sothebys in London. The series of sales brought a combined total of £19,518,450, a sum well towards the upper end of pre-sale expectations (£14,761,000-21,174,000) and new auction records were set across the board.
This mornings Orientalist Sale realised £8,060,225 (pre-sale estimate was £6,201,000-8,613,000) and the cornerstone of the sale was a monumental masterpiece by the pre-eminent Turkish artist Osman Hamdy Bey entitled A Lady of Constantinople which sold to a private collector for £3,380,500. This was the highest price of the day and also a sum which not only represented a new record for the artist at auction but also set a record for any Turkish painting at auction.
The Scandinavian Sale achieved £5,192,900 (pre-sale estimate was £3,257,000-4,744,000) and this sale was led by a seminal work by the Finnish artist Helen Schjerfbeck, entitled The Dancing Shoes. The Dancing Shoes was hotly contested and eventually sold - to a round of applause - for £3,044,500, against an estimate of £500,000-700,000. This was a new record for the artist at auction and also a new record for a work by any Finnish artist at auction.
The German, Austrian and Central European Sale also performed well achieving £3,746,250 (pre-sale estimate was £2,573,000-3,830,000) and the star lot among this group was Joseph Anton Kochs Heroic Landscape with Rainbow, which brought £1,812,500 a new auction record for the artist. This painting was purchased by Konrad Bernheimer for Colnaghi.
The various 19th Century European Paintings section of the sale brought £2,519,075 (pre-sale estimate was £2,730,000-3,987,000). | <urn:uuid:45c35d43-8165-4f92-aba1-4ae8a1b0b499> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://artdaily.com/news/24512/New-Record-Set-at-Sotheby-s-for-Artist-Helen-Schjerfbeck-at--5-3-Million | 2017-05-29T00:21:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612003.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528235437-20170529015437-00210.warc.gz | en | 0.972117 | 449 | [

We do at least one mission trip every year. These are great opportunities for us to step outside our comfort zone and serve others. We are called to be the hands and feet of Christ and mission trips are one of the best ways to truly understand what it means to be a servant. We develop deeper relationships with the group as a whole and grow closer to God by taking the focus off of ourselves.
This summer, we have 16 youth and 4 adults serving in Marvell, AR. They will be doing light work projects as well as working with Kids Club and a Sports Camp through YouthWorks. | <urn:uuid:b24f9ef4-a080-4be4-9bd3-0bd49989051a> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.grimesumc.com/youth-mission-trips/ | 2017-05-28T23:59:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612003.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528235437-20170529015437-00210.warc.gz | en | 0.976074 | 120 | [
