Decomposers | Lesson 2 - Foundations: Zooming into Decomposers
Lesson 2: Foundations: Zooming into Decomposers
Students "zoom into" plants, animals, and decomposers to learn about structures and functions that they all share:
- All organisms are made of cells.
- All the functions of organisms are done by their cells.
- All cells are made of molecules, including large organic molecules (fats, carbohydrates, and proteins).
- All functions of cells involve moving and changing molecules.
Guiding Question
What makes up our food?
Activities in this Lesson
Note: Activities 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 are repeating activities: They are the same in the three organism-scale units: Animals, Plants, and Decomposers. Activity 2.4 focuses specifically on decomposers. Teach Activities 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 during the first of the organism-scale units you teach (Animals, Plants or Decomposers). These activities can be skipped when you teach subsequent organism-scale units. Activity 2.4 is different for each unit though and should be taught each time.
- Activity 2.1: Zooming into Plants, Animals, and Decomposers (40 min)
- Activity 2.2: Molecules Cells Are Made of (45 min)
- Activity 2.3: Molecules in Cells Quiz (20 min)
- Activity 2.4: Questions about Decomposers (20 min)
- Describe systems and processes in a hierarchy of scales, including atomic-molecular, macroscopic, and large scale.
- Identify the most abundant organic materials in foods—fats, proteins, and carbohydrates—and use food labels to find out how concentrated they are in different foods and animal tissues.
NGSS Performance Expectations
Middle School
- Matter and its Interactions. MS-PS1-1. Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
High School
- From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes. HS-LS1-6. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules.
Background Information
Lesson 2 focuses on essential foundational knowledge that students will need to achieve the objectives for this unit. In this lesson students learn to read nutrition labels to identify the key materials in the foods we eat, which are also the materials in plant and animal bodies. The activities in this lesson serve as the Foundational Knowledge and Practice Phase of the Instructional Model, where students are introduced to key ideas and practices that they will use throughout the rest of the Decomposers unit.
In Activity 2.1, students review the anatomy of a molecule using the Molecule 11 x 17 Poster to refresh their memory of the precise use of words we use to describe matter at the atomic-molecular scale. Then, students examine nutritional labels to learn that there are three broad classes of materials in food:
- Organic materials, including fats, proteins and carbohydrates (sugars, starches, and indigestible fibers such as cellulose). These are the key materials that make up biomass (everything but water) of all living things and are essential for life.
- Vitamins and minerals, including sodium, iron, calcium, and many others. These materials are also essential for life, but only in small amounts—less that 1% of almost all foods.
- Water is not listed on nutrition labels, but it makes up more than 50% of the mass of almost all plant and animal bodies and almost all the foods we eat. Students can figure out how much of a food is water by subtracting the mass of the organic matter from the total serving size (100 grams for all the nutrition labels used in this lesson).
Activity 2.2 uses nutrition labels as the basis for a simplified account of the materials that foods—and the living organisms that foods come from—are made of. All living things are made of thousands of different substances, all created by the plants from glucose, water, and soil minerals. Carbon TIME units emphasize the most important of these macromolecules: polysaccharides (including starch and cellulose), fats or lipids, and proteins. Many other essential macromolecules such as nucleic acids are left for more advanced treatments.
The large organic molecules (sometimes called macromolecules) in plants, animals, and decomposers are actually much larger than the molecules shown in the presentation and modeling activity:
- Fatty acids typically contain 10 to 25 carbon atoms.
- Proteins can consist of hundreds of amino acids. Humans are typical of many organisms in that our proteins contain 21 different kinds of amino acids.
- Starch and cellulose molecules can be made of hundreds or thousands of sugar monomers. Different kinds of starch and fiber can also include other 5-carbon and 6-carbon sugars besides glucose.
Although we hope that students will come to appreciate the vast number and complexity of biomolecules, our emphasis in Carbon TIME is on helping students understand that all of this complexity arises from a simple starting point—glucose and minerals—and a few simple chemical processes in biosynthesis.
Although there are obvious differences in the chemical composition of plants, animals, and decomposers, the Carbon TIME units emphasize their similarities. Most of the monomers (sugars or monosaccharides, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol) in all living things are created in plants and made into polymers by the plants. Animals and decomposers break these polymers back down into monomers through the process of digestion, then alter the monomers and build new polymers through their own biosynthesis.
In activity 2.3, students take a short quiz to check their knowledge of these concepts before applying these ideas throughout the rest of the Unit.
In activity 2.4, students begin to consider questions about cells related specifically to decomposers, which they will study throughout the unit.
Key carbon-transforming processes: digestion, biosynthesis, cellular respiration

Unit Map
Talk and Writing
At this stage in the unit, the students will be learning Foundational Knowledge and Practice that is important for the rest of the unit. The table below shows specific talk and writing goals for this phase of the unit.
Talk and Writing Goals for the Foundations Phase
Teacher Talk Strategies That Support This Goal
Curriculum Components That Support This Goal
Treat this as background information.
We want to talk about a few basic practices and some basic knowledge to prepare us for the unit.
Listen for student ideas about matter and energy at different scales, and attend to wrong ideas.
What is happening to matter and energy at ______ scale? Who can explain?
Are you in the macroscopic scale or the atomic-molecular scale?
Who can explain that at a different scale?
The PPT that "Zooms into" the macroscopic subjects of the unit: a leaf, a potato, air, fossil fuels, etc.
Examine student ideas and correct them when there are problems. It's ok to give the answers away during this phase! Help students practice using precise language to describe matter and energy at different scales.
Let's think about what you just said: food molecules. What are food molecules?
Are you talking about matter or energy?
Remember: atoms can't be created. So that matter must have come from somewhere. Where did it come from?
Let's look at the molecule poster again… is carbon an atom or a molecule?
Let's revisit our scale poster… what is happening to matter at a macroscopic scale?
Powers of Ten Poster
Molecule Poster
Three Questions Poster
Grade student ideas.
There is a quiz during this phase of the unit to help you decide if your students are ready to move on.

LINNDALE (inc. 1902) is a small village southwest of Cleveland and adjacent to BROOKLYN, at the intersection of Memphis Ave. and Bellaire Rd. It occupies an area 6 blocks long and 2 blocks wide. At the end of the 19th century, George Linn, a real-estate developer, sought independent status for the community, a part of Brooklyn Twp. He conducted official business in his home. Located on the main line of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad, Linndale prospered briefly. During Prohibition it was a notorious gambling district. When the CLEVELAND UNION TERMINAL opened in 1930, Linndale was the western station where trains changed their steam locomotives for electric engines before entering the city. After World War II, the demise of steam locomotives made the switchyards obsolete. With the construction of I-71 through the village, Linndale gained the reputation of making traffic fines its primary source of income, strictly enforcing the I-71 speed limit. In 1994 the Ohio house passed legislation curtailing such traffic enforcement. In 1985 Linndale was a residential community of 129. Operating under the mayor-council form of government, it had its own town hall and police, but contracted with Cleveland for fire protection and was part of the Cleveland City School District. There were no recreational facilities or commercial areas within the village limits. In 2000 the population was 117.

KYW Newsradio reviews 'The Understudy'
Bob Nelson, KYW Newsradio — January 7, 2011
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Wilma Theater has unveiled a new work by a recently acclaimed playwright, introducing her first work in Philadelphia.
And her new play, "The Understudy," should find an appreciative audience.
Theresa Rebeck is on record telling us she adores the laughter of audiences — which certainly will work for her in "The Understudy," a three-character work in which Hollywood and Broadway-based actors mix it up for about an hour and a half of knockabout nonsense.
The plot includes a female stage manager setting up for a recently discovered play by the legendary Franz Kafka.
This is a far cry from the type of drama we're used to at the Wilma. We've got shifting sounds, lights, and temperaments grabbing the audience with almost every face-off.
While there's no end of nonsense, frequently bordering on silliness, we might say our trio of actors — Jenn Harris, Cody Nickell, and Brad Coolidge — push matters to frequently hilarious excess.
No question: "The Understudy" finds its mark and our playwright drowns in an appreciative audience.
"The Understudy" is expected to run through January 30th at the Wilma Theater, Broad and Spruce Streets, in center city.

I cringed when my friend told me she wanted a yellow room. Not a gold or soft yellow, but a happy screaming sunshine yellow. I conjured up all the memories of my color theory class in warned about using yellow….nurseries that were painted yellow caused babies to cry more often. I thought, how about a pillow? Or some type of accent? But all four walls?
I took on the challenge. And yes, it's painted – more to come. And yellow, although tricky, can work. Here are some great designers from Architectural Digest who nailed it:

Rumors about Walterboro, SC, girl's death 'so far from the truth,' senator says
A state senator tried to dispel what she called "speculation" about the death of 5th grader Raniya Wright following an incident at a Colleton County elementary school.
"I heard a lot of people saying, 'they were kicking her, they ganged her,'" Sen. Margie Bright Matthews said. "That's so far from the truth."
At the podium of the State Senate on Tuesday, Bright Matthews, who represents Walterboro and other parts of the South Carolina Lowcounty, described a situation in the school that didn't involve any blows to the head as rumored, she said.
Raniya died after what officials described as a fight at Forest Hills Elementary. School and public safety officials have stayed mostly quiet about the situation as investigators try to figure out what happened.
Bright Matthews called what happened in the classroom "a simple back and forth between two young girls."
The back and forth broke out when a substitute teacher was in that class for her first time, Bright Matthews said. The substitute separated the girls and got one into the hall before the assistant principal came and took both girls to the principal's office.
While in the principal's office, one girl, presumably Raniya Wright, complained of a pain in her head and was taken to the nurse's office, according to Bright Matthews.
"She became nauseous, vomited and by the time she was taken to the hospital she was unresponsive," Bright Matthews said.
Two days after the girl went to the hospital, Bright Matthews said she got a call from Raniya's grandmother, who said, "'Oh my god. She's not responsive. ... My grandbaby's going to die.'"
Lawyers representing Raniya's mother, Ashley Wright, released a responding to Bright Matthews' comments. "We are disappointed that Senator Matthews would use the South Carolina Senate as the backdrop for her statements less than 24 hours before Raniya Wright is laid to rest."
The statement said Bright Matthews' remarks contained "rumors, conjecture, and innuendo."
"We will continue to respect the investigative process and wait for findings as opposed to using the most prominent platform in our great state to offer a premature and incomplete narrative," the statement said.
Bright Matthews called the incident a tragedy for many involved.
"Imagine what the school is feeling, what the teacher . . . is feeling, what the principal is feeling, the assistant principal, the nurse and more importantly the other little girl on the other side," Bright Matthews said.
Many residents and parents, including Wright's mother and lawyers, have said bullying played a part in the incident.
Bright Matthews did not directly say whether bullying was a factor. She did say that she's been asked if she's going to introduce anti-bullying legislation. "That's the stupidest thing in the world because you and I both know that children are not born mean," she said.
Bright Matthews said children aren't born bullies or born to hate each other.
"I think we got to look at it from what we have control of," Bright Matthews said.
She took the time to push for smaller class sizes, better policies for special needs students, more breaks for teachers, and placing mental health counselors in school.
"Don't let young 10-year-old Raniya Wright's death or public persecution of other folks to go in vain," Bright Matthews said.

Supreme Court rejects lawsuit over Sacramento Kings arena
The California Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit this week challenging the Sacramento Kings arena project on environmental grounds.
Without comment, the court refused to hear an appeal filed by project opponents led by retired state Department of Transportation director Adriana Saltonstall.
The court's decision leaves one remaining legal hurdle to the project, which broke ground last October: a lawsuit by three Sacramentans challenging the city's $255 million public subsidy for the arena.
Saltonstall's lawsuit claimed the new arena at Downtown Plaza would bring massive traffic and air pollution problems, and would even prompt postgame riots by drunken basketball fans. The suit said the $477 million project represented a violation of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The claim was rejected by a Superior Court judge and then the 3rd District Court of Appeal.
City officials had feared the environmental case could bring significant delays for the arena, which is scheduled to open October 2016.
The remaining lawsuit is expected to go to trial June 22. Three Sacramentans – Isaac Gonzalez, Julian Camacho and James Cathcart – argue that the city's $255 million arena subsidy is a "fraud on the public." They say the city has given the Kings a "secret subsidy" of tens of millions of dollars, which makes the true price of the public's construction well above the stated value.
The city is financing the bulk of the subsidy by borrowing against its downtown parking operations.
The trial will be heard by a judge, not a jury, and is expected to last up to two weeks. City officials have said they're interested in settling the case to get it off the books; they're worried interest rates might increase before the case is resolved and they're able to sell the parking bonds.

Not sure about that one, but it would match with when i got it:Get a score higher than 76 * 500 (which is 38k)
CMIIW, but you haven't seem to translate the requirement for this trophy: つなぐ歌の輪ライブで、チェインコンプリートを出しました。 I think it means "do a 'chain complete' in a live".That sounds odd, as 76,500 was written in the list instead of 76*500. A typo, maybe?
Yes, you'll need to receive chocolates from all thirteen idols for a trophy.Good rule of thumb is knowing these scenes are after Takane's birthday.
Maybe the Valentine's chocolates are tied into the trophy for seeing all of the affection scenes?

5.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting and Magical Adventure
ByEmerson Rose Craigon February 23, 2018
Format: Paperback
"At the Equinox, a bright blue glow engulfed the entire hill. Above the monument, a vortex opened and sucked them into its eye. When the light faded, they were gone."
Infinities Gate is the second book in the Tamara Jenkins, Sorcerer series by author John R. Moore. It tells the story of archaeology professor Tamara Jenkins and the magical world of wizards she does not just fall into but becomes one of the greatest wizards and leader against the fight against darkness. In this book, Tamara and her husband mysteriously disappear on their honeymoon, and it is up to their friends to find them. Along the way, they discover the Infinities Gate and realize that they must keep the gate from opening or risk releasing chaos itself. When talking about his book series Moore says it is "In the order of Indiana Jones crossed with Merlin." This statement perfectly sums up the atmosphere of the book. This was the crossover I never knew I needed. This mashup was an imaginative and clever premise that immediately had me hooked into the first book which continued into the second.
The story begins quickly, showering you with information, questions, and mysteries. This kind of beginning hooked my attention immediately and made it hard to put the book down. This story is filled with mysteries, interesting twists, and exciting adventures. From wizards to Norse gods, Moore delves into the fantastical intricacies of myths and legends while still making the stories his own. You can't help but root for Tamora as she makes her way through these magical adventures. I really liked seeing her growth in both books and found her to be an interesting and fun heroine to follow on this journey.
The Celtic and Scottish history is something I love learning about so getting to read about it, and the magical side of it was very exciting for me. My love for both Indiana Jones and Arthurian legend fueled this fascination with this story. From the very beginning of the book, it connected itself to these histories and had events taking place in some of the most magical feeling places in the world like Stonehenge and the Isle of the Sky. This setting brought the magic and history into the book beautifully.
I was very impressed with Moore's writing style. His descriptions of the world are beautiful as is his attention to the details of history. His characters have a depth which is integral for me in any book I read. I enjoyed reading this series so much I am excited to look into some of his other work. His interest in science fiction and fantasy stories align very much with my favorite genres to read. I cannot wait for the third book in this series so I can continue my journey with the wonderful Tamara. This was a very enjoyable book that offered a quick read into a magical world. I would highly recommend this book to fantasy readers!

The Fairfield American Little League All-Stars have won four of the past five Connecticut state championships. But each time Fairfield American advances to the New England Regional, there's a new feeling..
"There's a lot of excitement," coach Mike Steed said. "Our league has been to Bristol four times in the last five years. ... It's a lot of excitement still, though. Every year it's a different set of kids, group of families."
Fairfield American (12-1) swept South Windsor two games to none to capture the state title last weekend in Harwinton and will play Williston (Vt.) Friday at 8:15 p.m. in the New England Regional at the Bert Giamatti Little League Leadership Training Center in Bristol. Fairfield is the fifth straight District 2 champion to play in the regional (Westport, 2013).
"The kids all get to know each other from playing in different programs, both Fairfield American, Fairfield National and Westport," Steed said. "All the kids know each other and are friends; certainly all the kids last year were following Westport. ... There's good camaraderie among all kids from our district."
Although it is a new experience for most, Steed is no stranger to the New England regional. Steed watched from the stands as a parent as his son, Patrick, and Fairfield American advanced to the 2012 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. Steed's son, Jack, is a second baseman on this year's team.
"It's a totally different set of nerves," Steed said of the switch from watching to coaching. "I don't know which one is better."
Shortstop Brian Howell's older brother, Chris, was on the 2010 New England champions. Now it's this 2014 Fairfield American All-Stars' turn in the spotlight.
"It's exciting for the boys to be local celebrities for a little bit," Steed said.
Fairfield American practiced in town at a Mill Hill Elementary School field all week to stay game-ready. There is unfamiliarity with Fairfield American's Friday opponent, the Vermont state champions.
"I know the level of competition is pretty tough, every state champion from New England brings a great team," Steed said.
Fairfield's pitching staff has four starters and two relievers, but Friday's starting pitcher is undecided.
"We'll see when we get up there who's feeling good," Steed said.

Val's Toy Chest- Inaugural Edition
Greetings to all the readers out there! I'm Val and if you're in the store frequently, you may know me as one of the front door guys. I'm also part of Forbidden Planet's toy department and want to welcome you to my inaugural toy column. There are some really awesome toys coming out this week and I just wanted to share them with you. If you are a fan of the Batman Arkham videogame series, three brand new figures are making their debut from DC Collectibles on Wednesday. Batman, Harley Quinn and the Scarecrow are the characters in this initial release using designs from the forthcoming Arkham Knight videogame. Each figure in the set is between 6 to 7 inches tall, feature multiple points of articulation as well as dedicated character accessories and come packaged in nice window boxes.
If DC Comics Characters aren't your thing- there is always Marvel and just in time for the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron this coming weekend, we will have a new blind bag assortment of Minimates from Diamond Select Toys based on the movie. The assortment is slated to include different versions of the titular villain, along with the Iron Legion, Nick Fury and Baron Strucker, we also have a good assortment of Avengers related toys ranging from Funko Mystery Mini Blind Boxes to 6″ Marvel Legends figures and Diamond's own Marvel Select line of action figures, as well as the exquisitely detailed Hot Toys figures of Captain America, Falcon and Winter Soldier from last year's hit movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
If you'd rather read about your toys rather than collect them, I have two more recommendations for you- the first is the gorgeous coffee table book sized "The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" published by Dark Horse Books. As an 80's kid- as evidenced by my heavily 80's iPod playlist that you might hear when you walk into the store, this book swept me back to my childhood with sections devoted to the genesis of the toyline itself to ancillary products like the official magazine and children's books, the original animated series and movie are also represented. If you have any nostalgia for the He-Man line as well as sister line, She-Ra: Princess of Power, I HIGHLY recommend the book which for the concept art alone is worth the price of admission.
My second recommendation is the new Jem and the Holograms comic book series by IDW. The second issue hits on Wednesday and though there are variations on the original Jem story in the new comic, I thoroughly enjoyed the first issue and cannot wait to see where Kelly Thompson and Ross Campbell are taking my favorite animated rock group. One of the things I most enjoyed in this new take on Jem and the Holograms is the fact that each of the band members has their own body type. They aren't all stick thin Barbie dolls and I think it is a nice step in the right direction.
Thanks for reading- see you in the store soon!

It's the time of the year when it ought to be cooler, but it has been either very hot or very rainy. That's half the reason for spending my week mostly indoors; the other half being laziness. In fact, I've been sleeping and waking up much later these days. I'm not a morning person, but I've been trying to cultivate good sleeping habits this past year and it has succeeded for the most part, until this past week.
To inject some energy into the last of the week, the approaching weekend looks like this in my plans:
- Finish One Last Thing Before I Go by Jonathan Trooper. That guy is so funny, risking slapstick but – here's the crucial bit – never tipping the scale by overdoing it.
- Do some Christmas shopping.
- Visit a Christmas flea market.
- Picnic with friends. Pray the weather be lovely.
How's the weekend looking for you?

5 Things Drivers Never Should Do at the Scene of an Accident @HNIRisk/
CEO and founder of HNI, Mike Natalizio, has developed and improved risk management solutions for transportation companies and organizations since 1985. Natalizio is the founder of The Risk Clarity Formula™, a tool used by HNI to help their customers identify risk susceptibility, create and help implement the solutions to these risks in order for executives to grow their business, expand their wealth, and reach their goals for the future.
HNI Associate Vice President
The time to plan how you're going to respond at the scene of an accident is BEFORE you are involved in an accident. How a truck driver responds on the scene has a major impact on the outcome of any claims that may follow.
Here's a list of five things drivers should never, ever do at the scene of an accident:
1. Do not leave the scene.
Drivers should stay on the scene of an accident until police and emergency responders arrive and tell them they can leave. Sounds like common sense, but it happens.
2. Do no get argumentative or physical.
Picking a fight — verbal or physical — is a surefire way to make a bad situation worse. How the driver conducts himself on the scene can have a major impact on whether the bystanders become a witness for or against a motor carrier. The emotional response of those involved in the situation will have an impact on how they remember the "facts" — it's just human nature.
3. Do not discuss facts regarding the accident with anyone other than your company and the police.
There will be people who show up on the scene and start asking questions. Some may be innocent bystanders, some may be ambulance chasers sniffing for a big dollar verdict. We've run into situations where people working for attorneys have approached a driver saying "I'm from your insurance company, can you explain what happened?" The ONLY people a driver should discuss the situation with is his or her own company and the police.
4. Do not admit to liability at the scene or volunteer to make payments — allow your company to make that decision after full investigation.
It's human nature to want to say "sorry" when something goes awry — but even saying "I'm sorry this happened" can be twisted by a prosecutor into an admission of guilt. While your driver will certainly feel bad, reinforce that who's at fault and who has liability will be determined following a full investigation.
5. Do not delay reporting an accident, no matter how minor it may seem.
The quicker a driver reports an accident, the quicker you can be prepared to respond. Days, hours, and minutes matter when it comes to collecting evidence and gathering witness testimony. Even a fender bender that seems minor needs to be reported right away — we have seen several accidents that seemed small blow up when the motorist has time to stew over it.
In some cases, drug testing may be required following an accident, either by the DOT or your insurance company. A driver must make an effort to get tests for both drug and alcohol use within two hours. If tests cannot be taken within two hours, the company must document the reason for the delay and keep trying (and documenting) for up to eight hours for the alcohol test and up to 32 hours for the controlled substance test.
Ensuring that your drivers are well trained on how to respond at the scene of an accident is vitally important — but we've found that most companies offer little to no training on this. Training typically focuses on preventing accidents (which is clearly important), but stopping there leaves out a critical component.

Fiestas on La Palma, Canary Islands
Here are just a few fiestas for you to look forward to - however this list is not comprehensive ... !
5th January - Ephinany, the Parade of the Three Wise Men celebrated in many parts of the island. This is the time of year when children receive gifts, rather than at Christmas, although these days they sometimes receive gifts as Christmas as well. Whilst there is a fiesta in many parts of the island, Santa Cruz is particularly good along with Los Sauces where the kings arrive on real camels.
January or February - Los Indianos, Santa Cruz de La Palma and Los Llanos. A big and crazy fiesta which symbolizes the return of Palmerans from Venezuela and Cuba having made their riches. As white clothing symbolizes wealth, everybody wears white and to emphasise this, talcum powder is thrown freely (by the kilo) and usually over each other. It's fun!
end of January/ start of February - Fiesta of the Almond Blossom, Puntagorda. Folk music, bands and dancing help to celebrate the beautiful pink blossom of the almond trees and it's also a good chance to see the traditional costume of La Palma. Additionally, there are displays of embroidery and other handicrafts along with bars and food stands.
Easter - various celebrations around the island, particularly Tijarafe and San Andres y Sauces.
March - Entierro de la Sardina. Throughout March in most towns on La Palma, this is the big day to 'Bury the Sardine' although it is fact more of a cremation. So after much dancing and general celebration, the sardine is set fire to with fireworks shooting up from the glamorous body. The history of this festival may be to represent fasting and abstinence (although this is hard to detect), the final meal being the sardine.
4th April (or nearest weekend) San Vicente de Ferrer, Franceses, Garafia
3rd May - Fiesta of the Crosses. Celebrated in Santa Cruz de La Palma, Juan Adalid (Garafia), Gallegos and Breña Alta. This celebrates the founding of Santa Cruz on 3rd May, 1493 and all crosses around the island are decorated with flowers, silk and jewellery. In Breña Alta, there is a night-time route where crowds of people walk between the crosses.
May (last weekend) - Las Cruces de La Laguna, Barlovento
June - Corpus Christi, Mazo. Every year the steep, cobbled streets of Mazo are carpeted with flowers and petals. Its origin comes from the Renaissance era and since 1873 the festival has been characterized by the creation of carpets, passageways and decorated altars of flowers. Mazo has been declared a Fiesta of National Tourist interest.
12th/13th June or nearest weekend - Fiesta de San Antonio, Garafia. One of the largest on the island attracting around 2,000 people and lasts three days. Apart from live music from a centre stage, temporary bars, stalls with Mexican cloting and fancy goods, there is a large show of cattle equine and other animals. There are variations each year with perhaps dog agailit or horse crosscountry jumping/dressage but always a timed event with oxen pulling weighted sleds around a course.
July/August (every five years, 2015, 2020, etc) - La Bajada de la Virgen de las Nieves y La Danza de los Enanos. A huge fiesta lasting around 18 days and encorporating, to name but a few events, the Dancing of the Dwarves, Minuet, pilmgrimage to the throne and subsequent Bajada of the Virgen del las Nieves when the statue of the Virgin of the Snows is brought down from her church in Nieves to Santa Cruz de la Palma. It's huge. It's incredible. Don't miss it. Click here for more information.
The highlight of the fiesta and what La Palma is particularly famous for (in fiesta terms) is the La Danza de Enanos. Initially appearing dressed as somber church clergy singing psalms, a dozen of the chosen few disappear into a small tent only to re-appear moments later dressed as dwarves who proceed to dance the polka. The contrast is both hilarious and amazing especially as the outfit transforming them into dwarves is entirely convincing and you will puzzle how it's done. Starts late evening and culminates in a procession through the streets at approximately 4 a.m.
August (first fortnight) - Honor a Ntra. Sra. del Rosario, Barlovento. Two weeks of events which may include a car rally, horse race, live music, fun for the kids, motor bike rally, running race, etc. Every three years there is the Battle of Lepanto involving the Moors and Christians with a fabulous mock-up of a castle and a boat (being towed across the fields). A lot of fun and a splendid service at the end of it all.
end of September - Fiesta of the Fufos, Tazacorte. People take the streets mounted on horseback, of the hobby variety.
August (every three years) - Battle of Lepanto, Barlovento. An incredible re-enactment involving a castle, boats and two feuding sides, the Christians and Moors. Eventually, after explosions and hand to hand fighting, the Moors are defeated and are marched, chained and bare-foot, to the church Nuestra Señora Rosario in Barlovento where they are converted to Catholicism. Their chains are then taken off and everbody has a jolly good time.
7th September - Fiesta of the Devil, El Diablo, Tijarafe. A big night (or early morning) when, after much music and dancing, the Devil arrives in the packed main square. To excited and pseudo-terrified screams the Devil proceeds to advance on the crowds as fireworks explode from his body. As his head is 'burnt' he runs away and once more it is proved that the Madonna has defeated the devil.
7th & 8th October - the Inmaculada Concepción, Santo Domingo de Garafia.
October - Ntra. Sra. del Rosario, Barlovento.
12th October - Spain Day and National Holiday in Spain and the Canary Islands.
11th November - Fiesta de San Martin. Wine cellars are opened and dinners/fiestas are organised to drink the wine while grilled chestnuts and pork fat is eaten.
Christmas - various celebrations around the island and special masses. Nativity scenes are nothing short of a passion on La Palma with every town and village having an impressive display. Franceses has a life-size version with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in a cave along with the Three Wise Men surrounded by old farming implements.

I love compressors. I love them more than any other guitar effect - and there's a reason; they are the glue that sticks a great performance together. Unless you're Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton a compressor *will* improve your tone and help you sit in a band mix much better.
The Pigtronix Philosophers Tone has been making waves for a while now and I thought it was time to get it placed up on the blog.
Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone is unlike the common compressor. This pedal has more sustain and less noise. The dynamic range, touch sensitivity, overall transparency and outright sustain of the Philosopher's Tone is un-paralleled in the crowded world of compressor pedals.
Practitioners of the mystical and ancient art of alchemy long sought an element called the Philosopher's Stone, believing that, if found, it could turn lead into gold and bestow immortality upon the man who wielded it. For such a tiny pedal to create so much sustain, this device represents a musical equivalent to this mythical substance in the world of guitar pedals."
Now, onto the guts of this thing. Thanks for these photos goes to jwpartain1 of the freestompboxes.org forum;
From these gutshots and the attached information Mystic Whiskey managed to draw up a schematic and verify a build against an original Philosophers Tone Gold Germanium. Here's the scheme for you;
Let's have a look at a few of the different sections - the "Grit" control blends in either a clipped or clean version of the compressed signal. The "Blend" control blends between the unaffected signal and the compressed/clipped signal. The "Treble" control is nothing special and is set up as a simple treble cut. It's a decent design and really works for a nice overdriven yet compressed tone.
For those of you brave enough to take it on - here's a vero layout for the Philosophers Tone Gold;

Highview Power Storage, in collaboration with Viridor, has been awarded funding for a 5MW/15MWh energy storage demonstration project by the UK Government.
The funding, valued at more than £8 million, has been awarded as part of the 'Energy Storage Technology Demonstration Competition', run by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). It will support the design and testing of a pre-commercial demonstration LAES system alongside one of Viridor's landfill gas generation plants in the UK.
The LAES system will be connected to the national grid and demonstrate the technology providing balancing services to the electricity system. In addition to providing energy storage, the LAES plant will convert waste heat to power using heat from the on-site landfill gas engines. The project is scheduled to be operational by mid 2015.
As Highview's CEO, Gareth Brett, explains, "This is a great opportunity to showcase a British innovation that has the potential to make a major contribution in terms of helping balance electricity systems in the future. With our pilot plant tested and fully operational on the UK's national grid, this new project will provide Highview with the opportunity to demonstrate the technology at commercial scale."
The Highview pilot plant (350kW/2.5MWh) is hosted by SSE (Scottish & Southern Energy) at its Slough Heat & Power 80MW biomass plant. The technology can be scaled to deliver large-scale, long duration energy storage from around 5MW output and 15MWh of storage capacity to significantly more than 50MW output and 200MWh of capacity. It can be considered as being similar to medium scale pumped hydro, but without the requirement for mountains and reservoirs. In addition to storage, the technology can simultaneously convert waste heat to power.

Cal Poly
Cal Poly Football Notebook: Penalties hinder Cal Poly's efforts
While South Dakota earned its 15-point halftime lead in its 50-48 loss over the Cal Poly football team Saturday, the Mustangs did plenty to sabotage themselves.
By halftime, Cal Poly had committed five penalties for 40 penalty yards, most of which either helped to end a Mustangs drive or extend one of the Coyotes.
South Dakota needed little help from Cal Poly to put up 29 first-half points.
Its offense put up 307 yards on its own, but a key third-down offside penalty against defensive tackle Kevin Hess helped the Coyotes drive for its final touchdown of the second-quarter with just two seconds left on the clock.
It was the second offside penalty by a Cal Poly interior defensive lineman.
The Mustangs also had a similar flag thrown on Erich Klemme on a field-goal drive that gave South Dakota a 22-14 lead.
Trailing 12-7 and hoping to retake the lead earlier in the game, Cal Poly was flagged for a false start and a delay of game and ended up punting without gaining a first down.
Johnson works to end scoring shortage
Cal Poly receiver Dominique Johnson caught his second touchdown pass of the season — a 20-yard fade from Tony Smith in the left corner of the end zone that gave the Mustangs a 7-0 lead to open the game.
It was only Johnson's second touchdown of the season, despite the junior transfer from UCLA coming into the game with more than triple the yardage of Cal Poly's next leading receiver.
Johnson entered the game with 29 catches for 461 yards, by far the team high even though he missed most of two games with a partial shoulder dislocation.
The next closest Mustang was junior Eric Gardley, who had eight catches for 128 yards. Running back David Mahr was second in receptions with 12.
Jon Hall and Mike Anderson were tied for the team high with four touchdown catches.
Shepard starts out on fire
South Dakota quarterback Noah Shepard had a big game against Cal Poly last season when he passed for 211 yards, rushed for another 92 and scored three touchdowns on the ground.
But the senior had an otherworldly start for the Coyotes on Saturday.
Shepard connected on 9 of his first 10 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns, a stretch that included only the first quarter and South Dakota's first play from scrimmage in the second quarter.
Shepard also scored one a 1-yard touchdown run, and early in the second quarter, the Coyotes had a 19-7 lead.
Say goodbye to seniors
Prior to the game, Cal Poly held its annual senior day ceremony and recognized 10 seniors and their parents on the field.
This year, the Mustangs will lose two defenders who played every game during their four-year careers: defensive end Ryan Shotwell and safety David Fullerton.
Fullerton ranked sixth on the team coming into the game with 35 tackles. Shotwell entered sharing the team lead with four sacks. The player he shared it with was fellow senior Carlton Gillespie, a two-year starter.
The other seniors are Hall, running backs Jono Grayson and Jaymes Thierry, punter Harlan Prather, cornerbacks Xavier Gardner and Ryan Chambers and linebacker Blaze Silberman.
Mike Montero, a player who has played on both sides of the ball but has been out the past two seasons with knee injuries, rounded out the senior class.

As a foodie, getting my wisdom teeth out was especially awful.
Everyone's experience is a bit different with wisdom teeth removal, but for the most part you're stuck eating mushy or liquid foods for at least a couple days (or in my case upwards of a week).
You can probably imagine how boring that gets.
If you have gotten them removed, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, it's your lucky day, I'm going to talk about surviving post-surgery (food wise anyway… The pain meds should do the rest).
Mushy Foods
This is the most common and perhaps the most important tip you will get when it comes to staying fed.
Applesauce, pudding and ice cream will become your best friends.
If you hate mushy foods, well, that makes things difficult. But don't worry, there are other options!
Liquid Foods
Soups and smoothies.
If you go with this option then make sure you either have a lot of variety or REALLY like the soup/smoothie you choose to spend your 2-7 days drinking otherwise you'll get bored real fast.
Best to go with something that is very smooth with limited chunks/bits, such as cream of mushroom.
One of the biggest challenges I faced within the first few days was getting sufficient nutrition. I don't mean you should count every calorie and be overly meticulous here. What you do want to do is avoid eating less than 400 calories a day as I did.
With foods like applesauce, pudding smoothies and soup it is surprisingly easy to under eat, meanwhile having the pain meds and pain itself masking how hungry you really are.
Furthermore, it is not healthy for the healing process to undereat.
Fruit Juices
A good way to get the calories you need is through fruit juices – such as orange juice – that are high in sugar (yes, not particularly good for you so try not to overdo it).
I would recommend drinking this alongside a few meals if you find yourself under eating. Not to mention they taste pretty good, so you've got that going for you too.
After Initial Recovery
Once you're feeling up to it, a good way to ease back into solid foods (and out of the incredibly boring ones you've been living with) is by eating fish.
Baked salmon was the first non-mushy food I enjoyed after getting my wisdom teeth out. It was glorious!
Since you still won't be able to open your mouth fully for at least another few days, having a food that you can just slot into your mouth and barely chew makes things much easier.
Beyond this stage it's just a matter of slowly trying out tougher foods until you're back to your normal self, minus some holes in your gums.
Best of luck with your wisdom teeth removal experience!

Pajaro Valley Water Customers To "Run Their Meters Backwards"
WATSONVILLE — The Board of Directors of the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PV Water) has approved a program for Recharge Net Metering, the first of its kind in California, as part of a comprehensive effort to improve groundwater conditions in the Pajaro Valley. The five-year pilot program will begin in October 2016, and operated as a partnership between PV Water, staff from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), and the Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County (RCD).
The Recharge Net Metering (ReNeM) program will create financial incentives for landowners to infiltrate (put into the ground) some of the storm water that currently flows from hillsides, roads, and fields during large rainstorms, helping to replenish underlying aquifers. Working with willing landowners, projects will be placed in locations where conditions for infiltration of storm water are especially favorable.
"Over the next five years, we hope to create eight to ten working projects, each contributing around 100 acre-feet per year of infiltration into the ground," explained Chris Coburn, Executive Director of the RCD. One acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons of water, enough to satisfy the domestic needs of two families of four for a year.
A formula will be applied to calculate the rebate. Initially, the rebate will be 50% of the unit water cost that is charged by the Agency to customers as an augmentation fee for water pumped from wells. The rebate will be applied against water fees for the following year. "We will measure the inflows for each project and then subtract the infiltration that would have occurred on that land without the project. The rebate provides an incentive for landowners to keep projects working so that they can receive rebates year after year," said Andrew Fisher, professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UCSC.
"There used to be more recharge in the past when less of the landscape had been modified for towns and roads and agricultural fields and when rainfall events were not so intense," explained Fisher. If successful, this program can serve as a model statewide.
There will be meetings later this year at which interested landowners can request to have their properties evaluated for inclusion in the pilot program. The initial program will be limited in scope, as each project requires funding for design, construction, instrumentation, and evaluation. Fisher and Coburn hope that the initial eight to ten projects, with one or two added for each of the next five years, can help to test the program as a proof-of-concept.
PV Water is a public agency whose mission is to protect and preserve the water resources within the agency's jurisdiction, generally the greater coastal Pajaro Valley. For more information visit: pvwater.org

"We work closely with their management, sales, technical and marketing teams and participate in various Hyland executive advisory councils. They also rely on us for product and customer feedback."
Clients throughout the United States turn to KeyMark when they find themselves under pressure to become more efficient, save costs, decrease risks and reduce paper-based processes. And through KeyMark's technology partnerships with leading industry vendors such as Hyland Software, KeyMark automates business processes with document management, advanced data capture and workflow tools. "As an integrator of multiple products, we listen to our clients needs and help design a solution that is customized to their unique goals and challenges, selecting the best tools and products for their needs," said McQuiston. "Hyland's products are an excellent fit for our clients because they offer customized solutions which match our core industry markets (government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing and lending).

The American College of Cardiology's Response to the American Board of Internal Medicine's Maintenance of Certification Requirements
Author + information
- Published online August 5, 2014.
Author Information
- Patrick T. O'Gara, MD, FACC, President, American College of Cardiology∗ (president{at}acc.org) and
- William J. Oetgen, MD, MBA, FACC, Executive Vice President, Science, Education and Quality, American College of Cardiology
- ↵∗Address correspondence to:
Dr. Patrick T. O'Gara, American College of Cardiology, 2400 N Street NW, Washington, DC 20037.
Over the last several months, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has continued to solicit and receive feedback from its members about the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM's) new Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements. The vast majority of members find fault with the changes imposed by the ABIM and look to the College to take a leadership role in working with the ABIM to revise them.
To that end, we, along with ACC's Chief Executive Officer Mr. Shalom Jacobovitz, met with ABIM's Chief Executive Officer Dr. Richard Baron in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in late May to share with ABIM leadership the results of the survey initiated by our Board of Governors. This was the first in what will be a continuing dialogue with the ABIM on how best to manage the recertification process in a manner that meets the needs of affected physicians, patients, and the public, while reducing both disruption and frustration and maximizing value.
The following statement summarizes the College's approach as of June 2014. It has been approved unanimously by the ACC Executive Committee and Board of Trustees. Our commitment to our members and their patients remains steadfast. The ACC recognizes the legitimate concerns that have arisen over the new ABIM requirements and looks forward to working with other professional societies and the ABIM to recalibrate the process so that we can continue to assist our members in the provision of professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate care, and balance the need for demonstration of ongoing competence with fulfillment of our obligations to society.
ACC Response to the ABIM's MOC Requirements
The ABIM instituted significant changes to its MOC process on January 1, 2014. The modifications apply to all physicians, including those who received lifetime certification prior to 1990 ("grandparents"), and mandate the completion of any MOC activity every 2 years, accumulation of 100 MOC "points" distributed between Part II and IV activities within 5 years, completion of patient survey and patient safety activities, and passing a secure examination every 10 years. The revision of standards initially established in 2006 has sparked heated discussions across the entire ACC membership and has called into question the validity, relevance, utility, and associated financial and opportunity costs of meeting these revised MOC requirements. ACC members have clearly expressed their frustration and dissatisfaction with the process and have proposed several alternative approaches. This communication is intended to state the ACC's position on MOC and to provide a strategic framework for College initiatives to improve the process.
As background, it is important to share the results of a member survey commissioned by the ACC and distributed through its state chapters in spring 2014. The survey was completed within 4 weeks by over 4,400 members (12% of the total solicited). Nearly 90% of respondents opposed the changes to MOC, citing, among multiple concerns, the higher-than-expected costs. Nearly one-third of respondents indicated that the changes will affect their future career plans and will likely accelerate career decisions such as early retirement, part-time work, or transition to nonclinical work. Approximately one-quarter of physicians in practice for 15 years or more specified that early retirement was a probable outcome. Recommended process revisions included reverting to the 2006 standards, removing various MOC parts (II, III, or IV), or having the ACC assume certification responsibilities. No single process revision was chosen by more than 50% of respondents. A significant majority (68%) did recommend that the ACC work with the ABIM to revise the requirements. There was a strong request for the ACC to make more MOC modules available and more easily accessible.
The ACC recognizes that the ABIM's mission as a standards-setting organization differs from its own mission as an educational organization. The ACC strongly supports the ideals of lifelong learning and continuous professional development. The College and its members are acutely aware of the need to continuously maintain the public trust by transparently demonstrating ongoing competence as guided by the principles of high-value patient care. Our membership holds itself to the highest professional standards. The ACC is an educational organization in which the ongoing learning of our members is accorded strategic priority. Educational activities must be designed and delivered in ways that enhance provider performance and improve patient outcomes.
The ABIM-imposed changes in the MOC process have called into question the optimal methodology for achieving the intertwined goals of lifelong learning and high-value care.
In response to these changes and our members' concerns, the ACC commits to do the following:
▪ Have ongoing discussions with ABIM leadership, in partnership with other cardiovascular professional organizations whose members are similarly affected, to review these issues and to explore changes in MOC requirements that will result in more meaningful outcomes and less onerous burdens for ACC members;
▪ Request for ACC representation at the ABIM to participate in discussions involving MOC, including its educational and financial aspects;
▪ Review the evidence base underlying current recommendations; and
▪ Investigate the impact of MOC changes on non-ABIM-certified members.
In the interim, the College will support its membership by:
▪ Free provision of web-based MOC modules and navigation tools;
▪ Expansion of Part IV MOC modules through ACC programs, such as the NCDR's inpatient registries and the PINNACLE registry;
▪ Creation of mechanisms for ACC members by which patient safety and patient survey requirements can be efficiently fulfilled; and
▪ Bidirectional communication with and engagement of membership through chapters, sections, and councils.
Note: There is evidence that the ABIM has heard the concerns of its diplomats and is acting responsively. In a July 10, 2014 letter to the internal medicine community, and in a face-to-face meeting in Philadelphia on July 15, 2014, which was attended by 26 internal medicine subspecialty societies including the ACC, the ABIM committed to:
• Provide a 1-year grace period for those who have attempted but failed to pass the secure examination.
• Update its governance and financial information on its website.
• Ensure a broader range of CME options for medical knowledge and skills self-assessment (Part II).
• Provide more feedback regarding test scores.
• Evolve the "patient survey" requirement to a "patient voice" requirement and increase the number of ways this requirement can be met.
• Reduce the data collection requirement for the practice assessment requirement; utilizing performance improvement activities already in place and minimizing the time and complexity of data input.
• Investigate changes in the secure examination to increase relevance with specific attention to exploring applications for practice focus areas ("modular examinations") and open-book examinations.
For its part, the ACC has recently:
• Released a special video that catalogs the suite of ACC resources available to help members meet the MOC Part IV requirements.
• Determined that free-standing MOC modules will be offered to ACC members at no charge.
• Posted online (CardioSource.org/MOC) a comprehensive list of ACC MOC Part II offerings. New modules will be added as they become available.

Passover Nosh day 6: Exodus 13: 17-18
(17) After Pharaoh had let the people go. God did not lead them along the road to the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, "The people might change their minds if they see war and return to Egypt." (18) So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea, and the sons of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt armed.
Passover Nosh – Day 6
As we see in this passage, the shortest way is not necessarily the best way to achieve a goal. It may in fact lead to a quick and painful failure. Success is usually preceded by an oftentimes uncomfortable and lengthy process of preparation and learning. Whether we understand the process or not, it is always smarter and wiser to follow God's plan than our own!

Car and Driver takes a large array of contenders to Virginia International Raceway to determine how quick the sportiest cars on the market are in a controlled environment.
Lightning Lap can be considered the equivalent of the Nürburgring Nordschleife where many automakers fine tune their cars. The three-minutes laps offers long straight lines, elevation changes, and combination of slow, fast, and, scary-fast corners.
From BMW family, the U.S. magazine chose the almighty 1M, the tuned up 335is and Z4is, along with BMW's fastest truck: X5 M.
Let's have a look.
Despite the X5 M's flabby, 5289-pound curb weight, we expected it to be fast. And it is. Forget about the Grand Cherokee SRT8. The BMW blows its doors off. This SUV is quicker around VIR than the BMW 335is, as well as the Audi RS4 and BMW Z4 M coupe we ran here in 2007. Hell, it hangs off the rear bumper of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.
We also expected that the brakes would perform well, and they exceeded in that regard by shrugging off a five-lap stint.
But we didn't see this one coming: The X5 M's plentiful ground clearance benefitted its lap time. Exiting the "Bitch" corner a little wide, we dropped a tire off track, which did not faze the X5 M's chassis even a bit. The four-wheel drive did its job and the left-rear Bridgestone Dueler kicked up some grass, so we carried on with what ended up being the X5 M's fastest lap of 3:11.1.
BMW 335is – 3:10.5
The 3:10.5 lap a 335i turned at our 2007 VIR event is just another reason to believe that those early turbocharged BMWs made more power than the advertised 300 ponies. After all, the 320-hp 335is is only 0.1 mph faster down the front straight, at 131.6 mph.
Even with the slower-than-expected lap time, the 335is is so committed to chassis neutrality that it might as well be Swiss. From the sharp left-hand Turn Four until the start of sector two, the 335is will change direction as readily with the gas pedal as with the steering wheel.
A transmission can't be the only culprit for a car's disappointing performance, right? Actually, it was the only complaint of the two drivers who drove the 335is. Subjectively, there were no glaring criticisms. Its chassis is slightly more upset by curbing, and the steering turn-in isn't as immediate as the 1-series M's. But the brake pedal offers nice initial bite; it's easy to modulate and thus trail-brake.
The 335is is a joy to drive, even if this one was simply not as quick as the 335i from several years ago. We would choose the standard manual transmission if it were our money. And maybe that would improve the BMW's lap time. It would certainly increase the fun quotient.
If there is anyone left out there unconvinced of the benefits of a wide torque band, they should take a lap in a 1-series M. At VIR, the 1M uses third gear for roughly 80 percent of the track because its 370 pound-feet of torque are available as low as 1500 rpm. That torque and fairly tall gearing (111 mph max in third gear) meant that we could go through sector four without a potentially chassis-upsetting gearchange. That helped the 1M complete that section in 14.7 seconds, tieing the mid-engined Cayman R and Evora S.
The same can be said for sector five, where we sailed along in the 1M, locked in third. In most other cars, we had to perform a fourth-to-third downshift there. With a short wheelbase and M3 suspension components, wheels, and tires, the 1M turns in crisply, without delay, and remains gleefully free of understeer. When we hopped back onto the torque wave exiting a corner, we were greeted with a healthy but manageable dose of oversteer. This was common but most pronounced at slow corners, such as Turn One and Oak Tree. Most of sector four is performed on the ragged edge of a full-on high-speed D1-like drift.
Lap after lap, the 1M's brakes erased speed without a fight or any fade. And since it topped out at 133.9 mph on the front straight, there was a lot of speed to erase.
Even if the 1M couldn't top the 3:05.4 lap its big brother the M3 posted in 2010, it delivers real M performance. And, like a bona fide sports car, it demands respect.

For every good 'reboot' there seems to be as many if not more bad ones. Superb refreshers like "Batman Begins," "Star Trek" and "Casino Royale" help take the pain out of poor quality restarters such as Steve Martin's "Pink Panther" films, Rob Zombie's "Halloween" and the ultimately pointless "Incredible Hulk".
Now, according to Bloody Disgusting, Screen Gems is planning to do one for one of its cash cows in recent years – "Resident Evil".
Tentatively titled "Resident Evil Begins", the story essentially sounds like a remake (rather than a reimagining) of the first film with a special military unit fighting a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident.
The project however would not begin production until after the release of "Resident Evil: Afterlife", the 3D fourth entry in the current series due for release late next Summer.

In 1990, the world was shocked by images emerging from Romania, which had just thrown off Communism. Throughout the country, tens of thousands of abandoned children had been warehoused in abysmal orphanages resembling concentration camps.
Nearly three decades later, much in Romania has improved, but much work remains to be done. Children are still being abandoned today, at rates only slightly lower than the Communist years. While conditions in state institutions have greatly improved since the 1990s, they remain dismal places for children to grow up. The law forbids children under age two from being placed in orphanages, but many children's hospitals operate as de facto orphanages for abandoned babies. (And this is certainly a better option than life on the street.)
At Romania Reborn, we rescue abandoned children from the state system and place them into families. We identify vulnerable children through hospitals, youth shelters, and sometimes a direct call from police or child protection officials. While children are sometimes placed in temporary care, the goal for every child is permanence in a forever family.

Dear Mr. & Mrs.
Thank you for your interest in our property for your upcoming visit in September.
I have confirmed that we will be able to accommodate this hoist in two different available room types. We have our Junior Suite with roll-in shower for a rate of $249 plus tax per night. If you are looking for a room that offers a little more space and a balcony, we have a King 2-room Suite with balcony that is ADA accessible, but has a tub instead of a roll-in shower. That Suite is at a rate of $299 plus tax per night. These rates are valid for the next 7 days.
Both rooms include access to our full Cook-to-Order Breakfast, complimentary Evening Reception and unbeatable views from the roof-top restaurant, Up on the Roof. Let me know which room you would like to book and include a phone number so that I can finalize the booking details.
I look forward to speaking with you soon!
With delight,

Thanks for the help!
What you going to Greenville for, Hack?
I might have some suggestions if you ain't been there before
If you haven't been to Greenville before, or in the last 10 years or so, downtown Greenville is really cool. Obviously you can't go to Greenville and not see Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge. Both are pretty awesome, day or night. The swamp rabbit trail is very accessible (even when it doesn't look like it) and goes along the river above the falls. There are some artist studios along the river that are open at odd hours, but if this Euphoria thing is anywhere near downtown, I'm sure they'll be out peddling their wares. Lots of cool rooftop bars if you're into that thing and a nice, walkable downtown which is quite accessible. If you see a restaurant that looks inaccessible or a sidewalk that looks too steep, just glance around there is probably a back entrance for wheelchairs or a public elevator somewhere nearby.
Have fun.
