Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers: Who Wins the Super Bowl of Food?
Ahh, yes, it's Super Bowl time, and for serious eaters that means that the first contest between the 49ers and Ravens is of course a food tussle. Which city's food is better? San Francisco is a clear favorite, but Baltimore has enough hidden gems to make it interesting at the very least. We divided the game into four quarters: pizza, sandwiches, shellfish, and ice cream. Let's see who wins our Super Bowl of Food.
First Quarter: Sandwiches
Baltimore Ravens: Pit Beef is Baltimore's sandwich legacy. Roadside stands all over Baltimore county charcoal-grill hunks of well-seasoned meat, achieving a nice char and a rosy pink interior. Out on Pulaski Highway, Chaps is a longstanding favorite near the city for their tender, thin-sliced beef sandwiches. Set out on the rolling hills of the county roads in Woodlawn, Pioneer Pit Beef uses a wood-fire to cook their meat, infusing the moist slices with an intense smokiness. The pit beef sandwiches are pretty swell, and we can't forget the excellent tea sandwiches at the Women's Industrial Exchange or the fine crab cake sandwich at Faidley's (though why would anyone put a crab cake on a sandwich?).
San Francisco 49ers: SF sandwiches that might have me moving to the Bay Area include the insane breakfast sandwich from 4505 Meats, the San Francisco Style Red Lox sandwich from Cap'n Mike's, and the Cuban from Boccalone (all three of which can be found at the insanely delicious Ferry Plaza Market). Moving beyond that excellent eater's destination, The Sentinel, Molinari, Ike's, and Pal's Takeaway all earn SF points. The legendary Tartine, too, which has a sandwich shop (and boy do we love it). And if we're including Oakland, then we should call out Bakesale Betty's glorious fried chicken sandwich.
First quarter scoring: 49ers: 14; Ravens: 3
Second Quarter: Shellfish
Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore can steam with the best of 'em. Walk into LP Steamers in Locust Point and you'll be met with an aromatic cloud of steamy shellfish. And Chesapeake Bay oysters, the white gold of the Atlantic seaboard, when coated in a crisp cornmeal crust and fried are hard to beat. Just a couple on the half shelf at Nick's Oyster Bar on Charles Street will make a strong case for these briny creatures. But the crabs from the mid-Atlantic waters are the most beloved. And at the recently closed Obrycki's, a Baltimore institution, you could get as fine a crab as any; they were known for replacing the characteristic Old Bay seasoning with black pepper.
San Francisco 49ers: San Francisco is a great town for oysters, clam chowder, dungeness crabs, and other shellfish. Head to the Ferry Building for beautiful views of the bay and some freshly shucked bivalves at the Hog Island Oyster Bar. The oysters arrive fresh daily from Hog Island's oyster farm on Tomales Bay. Or, just hop into a car and escape the city, winding your way through the redwoods onto Highway 1 up to Tomales Bay. Settle down at the picnic tables and buy a bushel of oysters and start shucking away on the beach. Doesn't get much better than that on a sunny California day, right?
Second quarter scoring: 49ers: 7; Ravens: 10
HALFTIME SCORE: 49ers: 21; Ravens: 13
Third Quarter: Pizza
Baltimore Ravens: You can't have a conversation about Baltimore pizza without Iggie's and its very, very thin crust (it begins as a dough ball that's aggressively rolled into a round "skin"). Even if you're not into the snappy thin crust, Iggie's pies are topped with fresh ingredients including their housemade mozzarella. Matthew's is a different experience—it's "Greek pizza," even if they don't actually refer to themselves as being Greek pizza—where the dough cooks in a deep pan with a significant amount of olive oil at the bottom so it develops a crisp, slightly greasy, foccacia-like chew. "It's a pizza experience completely unlike most others... and unfortunately, it's the one pizza style that unless it's executed perfectly, can be downright awful (defying the old adage that like sex, even bad pizza is still good). Matthew's, fortunately, executes perfectly," noted our Kenji Lopez-Alt after his visit.
We also have to mention the imminent opening of popular Brooklyn pizzeria Paulie Gee's branch in Baltimore some time this year. Paul Giannone (you can just call him Paulie Gee) is partnering with Baltimore local and Slice community member "Pizzablogger" (who asked to remain anonymous), at what will be called Paulie Gee's Hampden, named after the neighborhood where it's opening (more on that here).
San Francisco 49ers: As someone who has eaten many slices in both cities in the past ten years, I can tell you that New York's pizza dominance over the Bay Area is not that clear-cut any more. First of all, one of New York's (and America's for that matter) greatest pie men, Anthony Mangieri was traded last year to San Francisco. Mangieri's Una Pizza Napoletana is bolstered by quite a few slices of pizza heaven in town, including Bruce Hill's Pizzeria Picco, Charlie Hallowell's Pizzaiolo, Craig Stoll and Anthony Strong's Pizzeria Delfina, Flour + Water, as well as Emilia's in Berkeley, thereby giving the Bay Area a whole pie's worth of great pizzerias. Lauren Sloss, Seth Mazow, and David Kover point us to Patxi's and Little Star for great deep-dish, and Tony's Pizzeria Napoletana should count for points, too.
Third quarter scoring: 49ers: 14; Ravens: 3
Aggregate score after 3 quarters: 49ers: 35; Ravens: 16
Fourth Quarter: Ice Cream and Gelato
Baltimore Ravens: The gelato from Pitango (which also has locations in D.C. as well) is worth scooping. Israeli-American owner Noah Dan insists on sourcing certain ingredients like "almonds only from a particular slope in Sicily" and grass-fed organic milk from Spring Wood Organic Farm in central Pennsylvania. It's about as good as gelato gets outside of Italy. And if we're opening up this category to the bigger sweets scene, we'd be remiss for not mentioning all the big Italian pastry shops and pie from Dangerous Pies.
San Francisco 49ers: There is no doubt about it; San Francisco is one helluva ice cream town these days. Bi-Rite Creamery's ice cream is creamy and intensely flavored, Humphrey Slocombe's flavors are more fanciful, sometimes even downright whimsical but they almost always make sense, and Mitchell's exotic flavors and creamy texture should also not be missed. Three Twins is a great local producer, and there's Ciao Bella in the Ferry Building. Both Bay Area native Carey Jones and SF writer Lauren Sloss recommend Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous in the Dogpatch. SF even scores points in the soft-serve department; many places serve Straus Creamery's soft serve with extraordinary toppings, including Zero Zero and Pizzeria Picco. (Bi-Rite's got soft serve too.)
Fourth quarter scoring: 49ers: 17; Ravens: 7
Final Score, Food-wise
49ers: 52; Ravens: 23
I'm sorry, Ray Lewis, I really am. I know it's your final game, but San Francisco bests Baltimore quite handily in the food department.

Is Tri-Cities a Smart Place to Invest in Real Estate? We're in the Top 250 Markets Nationally
Hooray! We're ranked No. 241 nationally! Oh, sure, that doesn't sound impressive, but think about it. Out of every community in the entire country, the Tri-Cities is among the 250 strongest housing markets.
That's according to the National Association of Home Builders/First American "Improving Markets Index" (IMI).
The IMI is a list created every spring listing the nation's most impressive "improving markets."
Out of the 361 metropolitan areas, Tri-Cities ended up on the list at No. 241! That is up from No. 249 from last year.
New housing starts are off to a vigorous pace -- up three percent over last year! Home sales in Tri-Cities are also up from 152 in January of last year to 192 last month! Low home mortgage interest rates are playing a big role in that activity.
The national list released a week ago indicate the number of "improving" housing markets has grown for sixth consecutive months. There are now a total of 259 metropolitan areas seeing improvement (versus only 242 areas in January). The list includes communities in all 50 states and the District of the Columbia.
To make the list, an area must show improvement in housing permit numbers, employment rates and house prices for at least six consecutive months from its "trough," or low point.
A total of 20 new communities were added to the list and three were dropped in February. Newly added areas include Rome, Georgia; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Racine, Wisconsin.

Have you ever daydreamed about impossible events? Maybe having a superpower? Or having access to a secret world that no one else can see? Humankind seems to have an innate fascination with the impossible (or improbable?), and in no other genre than fantasy is this trend most pronounced.
Authors have the ability to use any technique they wish to craft a world of their choosing, not bound by the physical laws of reality. However, this does not mean that fantasy or magical realism has no relevance to the real world!
In this unit, we will examine the role that fantasy and make believe plays in our lives. We will read David Almond's novel Skellig and examine extracts from more traditional fantasy stories as well. Focussing on the prominent themes, symbols and motifs of these fantastic stories, we will see that while they may be unrealistic, they contain ample insight hidden behind the illusion. We hope you enjoy the unit!
Session One – 'Fantastic Creatures!'
In this introductory session, we will start getting creative! We will learn what symbolism means and then create symbolic creatures in groups. We will then base a creative writing sample on one of these fantastic creations!
Session Two – 'Fantasy vs. Magical Realism'
Today we will start by investigating the differences between two 'fantastic' genres – fantasy and magical realism. We will then begin reading Skellig and, applying our new knowledge, hypothesise as to what the advantages of both genres are and why David Almond might have chosen to write such a story.
Session Three – 'Haunted Houses'
Setting does more than just create atmosphere – it can also be symbolic. Today we will analyse a passage, visualise the setting and discuss how imagery can be used to create both atmosphere and meaning.
Session Four – 'That's So Deep!'
Literary works often make references to other people, places, things (even other literary works!). These are called allusions and they can help add to the 'literary weight' of a piece as well as enhance a reader's enjoyment. Today we will research about some upcoming allusions from Skellig and make connections and predictions about the novel.
Session Five – 'Searching for Symbols'
Over the course of these lessons we will continue to read Skellig (as a class and individually) and hunt for literary symbols. We will interpret what they might mean and communicate our understanding in two well-written paragraphs.
Session Six – 'The Significance of Skellig'
We focus on 'big-picture' thinking now that we have finished reading Skellig. We will review the novel, build vocabulary, learn to make connections between topics and discover how to find themes in literary works.
Session Seven – 'Symbols into Themes'
We will apply everything we have learned about themes and symbols in an analysis of Skellig. After introducing the first summative assessment task, we will begin planning for our analytical essay by looking for themes and symbols in the novel.
Session Eight – 'Exceptional Editing'
Not many people understand the difference between editing and proofreading, but it is a pretty big deal! Editing is a major step in the writing process. In this session we will learn about what editing involves and then peer and self-edit our essays.
Session Nine – 'Creative Characters'
In this lesson we will read extracts from a number of fantasy stories and see how authors create symbolic characters through appearance, actions, interactions with objects / setting and imagery. Then, we will do some descriptive writing of our own about an original fantastic character.
Session Ten – 'Visionary World Building'
Now that we have learned how to write descriptively about a symbolic character, we need to create a visionary world for them to inhabit, as well as a biography (or background). We will read an extract from Ursula LeGuin's A Wizard of Earthsea before doing some creative writing of our own.
Session Eleven – 'Symbolic Language'
Now that we have learned about how the content of a story can be symbolic, let's learn how to make the style symbolic as well! We will explore the use of figurative language in enhancing a theme and start preparing for our final creative project.
Session Twelve – Final Lesson
We will first finish self- and peer-editing our stories before summarising our learning for the unit in a general discussion.
Task 1 – Themes and symbols in Skellig – analytical essay
Task 2 – "Create a Character!" Fantasy creature narrative excerpt
- Introducing characters worksheet
- Planning sheet for the 'create a character' project
Task 2 (alternate) – Skellig sequel

Written By: NM State Athletic Dept.
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The New Mexico State football team fought and clawed its way to a tough loss against Atlantic Coast Conference member Boston College, 48-34, Saturday afternoon at Aggie Memorial Stadium. The Aggies fall to 1-9 on the season while the Eagles move over .500 at 5-4.
Boston College, the first team from the ACC to ever play at Aggie Memorial Stadium, needed a couple of late touchdowns and an interception to overcome a very spirited NM State team.
The Aggies nearly matched Boston College yard for yard, finishing with 548 total yards to the Eagles' 550. NM State was led by senior quarterback Andrew McDonald who finished the game by going 41-of-55 with 384 total passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
The ground attack was led by freshman and Las Cruces native Xavier Hall who almost had his first 100-yard game for the Aggies, finishing with 14 carries for 95 yards.
Junior wide receiver Austin Franklin once again paced the NM State receiving core en route to moving up the Aggie record books. Franklin finished with a team-high 10 receptions and 145 receiving yards to go along with two touchdowns. Saturday's game was Franklin's 28th straight with at least one reception and 10th with at least 100 yards receiving. Franklin also moved up to fifth on the Aggie all-time career receptions list (150) and fourth on the all-time career receiving touchdown list (17).
On the defensive side, senior linebacker Trashaun Nixon led NM State with 14 total tackles while fellow senior linebacker Bryan Bonilla added 12 total tackles.
The Aggies had a quick three-and-out after receiving the opening kickoff of the game. NM State, however, would get the ball right back after Eagle punt returner Dave Dudeck muffed the ensuing punt. The ball bounced right into the hands of Aggie senior Darien Johnson at the Boston College 29-yard line.
NM State would convert the turnover into three points off a 43-yard field goal by junior kicker Maxwell Johnson to score the first points of the game and take a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter.
Boston College answered with two field goals of its own and a 69-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Chase Rettig to senior tight end Mike Naples to take a 13-3 lead after one quarter of play.
The 13-straight points by the Eagles did not rattle the Aggies. Early in the second quarter NM State went on a 7-play, 84-yard drive to cut into the Boston College lead. The last three plays of the drive included a 22-yard pitch-and-catch throw from McDonald to Franklin, a 23-yard run from junior Travaughn Colwell from the wildcat formation and a 14-yard touchdown pass from McDonald to Franklin to slice the Eagle lead to 13-10.
Boston College quickly responded, however, reclaiming its 10-point lead with a 7-yard touchdown pass on its next possession.
With just over three minutes left in the half and trailing 20-10, The Aggies engineered their second-consecutive touchdown-scoring drive, driving 75 yards on nine plays.
With the Aggies at the Eagle 10-yard line, the halftime clock winding down to under 10 seconds and the Aggies without any timeouts, McDonald handed the ball to Hall who ran up the middle, a risky move considering it would be the last play of the half. The move paid off, however, as Hall forced his way to the end zone to cut the Boston College lead to 20-17 at the half.
McDonald went 16-of-23 in the first half for 144 yards and a touchdown. Hall had five carries for 54 yards and a touchdown while Franklin finished the first half with seven catches, 82 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Nixon led the Aggies with nine total tackles in the first half.
Once again, the Eagles answered an Aggie touchdown with one of their own, this time by scoring on the first possession of the second half to once again take a 10-point lead at 27-17. NM State's defense would tighten up after the Boston College touchdown, however, forcing the Eagles to punt during their next three possessions.
The Aggie offense, meanwhile, took its second possession of the half and went on a 6-play, 68-yard drive that culminated with NM State's third touchdown of the day. The drive was highlighted by a 22-yard run and 22-yard catch by Hall and punctuated by a 16-yard touchdown pass from McDonald to junior wide receiver Jerrel Brown.
The third quarter ended just as it had begun, with Boston College holding on to a three-point lead, this time at 27-24.
The first part of the fourth quarter saw the Aggies tie the score with Johnson's second field goal of the day. Johnson nailed a 32-yarder after a 15-play drive that ate up over six minutes of the clock to tie the game at 27.
The tie was short-lived, however, as Boston College's Myles Willis returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards to once again give the Eagles a 7-point lead at 34-27.
NM State did not flinch, scoring just over two minutes later on Franklin's second touchdown catch of the day, a 49-yard pass play on a post route to once again tie the ball game, 34-34, with just over eight minutes left in the contest.
The Aggie defense once again came up big on the Eagles' next drive, this time by forcing a fumble as Boston College was driving into NM State territory. Bonilla recovered the fumble at the Aggie 36-yard line. Unfortunately, NM State could do nothing with the turnover and was forced to punt the ball away.
Two long touchdown runs by Eagle running back Andre Williams and a McDonald interception ultimately sealed NM State's fait. Boston College scored the final 14 points of the game en route to the 48-34 win.
The Aggies now have a bye week before traveling to Florida to play Florida Atlantic on Nov. 23. The game is scheduled for a 1 p.m. (MT) start.

Hey, I'm on vacation next week, so there won't be a Funbag on Christmas Eve. You'll just have to spend your day with your family, which is awful. I apologize in advance.
Your letters:
I learned there is a National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, NY. Each year they have a list of nominees for induction. This year's list is pretty impressive. I really could see all of them being inducted.
My question is; what is the GOAT in terms of toys? What is the Jim Brown or Wayne Gretzky of the toy world? I would think Legos have to be up there, but something as simple as the Teddy Bear has stood the test of time for over 100 years. Toys like Pogs or Wacky Wall-walkers would be like a Christian Okoye in the toy world - a one-year wonder that could never hold up.
According to the website, there are 53 toys in the Hall of Fame, and the list of inductees is pretty damn impressive: the Slinky, the Etch A Sketch, Barbie, Play-Doh, a stick, etc. I love that they inducted a stick ("Children find sticks an endless source of make-believe fun. Sticks can turn into swords, magic wands, majorette batons, fishing poles, and light sabers."). And the HOF wasn't so snobby that they included only analog toys. The Game Boy is in there, as is the Atari 2600 (but not the original NES—what the fuck?). Board games like Scrabble and chess were also inducted, as were playing cards. Are those toys? I guess they're toys. I hope Amarillo Slim got to do the induction speech for playing cards. There's also a blanket inducted, which is fucking weird. That's DEFINITELY not a toy.
Anyway, the Greatest Toy of All Time needs to fulfill a few criteria. It should be relatively affordable. It should be fun as shit. You should never have to replace it. Everyone should like it. And it should never get old. That rules out the bicycle, which needs to be replaced as you grow, and newer shit like TVs or the iPad, which is now easily the most popular toy in the world but is designed by Apple to be obsolete within two years of purchase. LEGOs are out because they're a fucking nightmare to all parents. I've spent so much time picking up LEGOs (you will never scrounge up every last piece) that I want the box thrown into the ocean.
I think the winner is the television, if you count that as a toy. I count it as EVERYTHING. "Teacher! Mother! SECRET LOVER." Otherwise, I'll go with the humble ball. If we're being specific, we can just go ahead and make it a miniature Hutch football, because that shit NEVER gets old. Plus, you could throw it into a volcano by accident and it would survive. HUTCH FOOTBALL WINS. I would rank the best non-TV toys of all time like so: 1) Ball, 2) Bike, 3) Computer/iPad/iPhone, 4) NES, 5) Dildo.
I find this list of inductees endlessly fascinating but there are some glaring omissions. Here are the Marvin Millers of toy HOF snubs:
- Tyco Train Set (Lionel trains are in there, but those are for grownups and everyone knows it)
- Baseball glove
- Television
- iPhone
- Snoopy Sno Cone maker
- Slip 'n Slide
- Sega Genesis
- Ice skates (roller skates are in the HOF but ice skates aren't, which is horseshit)
- Transformers
- Squirt guns
- Burnin' key cars
- A box
- Bill Simmons's fragile ego
Those are all fun to play with. By the way, Tim Marchman points out that the worst toy of all time is the doll your kid is supposed to breastfeed. That ain't right. My choice was Gak, but even Gak can't top that shit.
In watching the record-setting 64-yarder by Matt Prater last week, I couldn't help but notice how close to the crossbar the ball came. If you were the Saints, for example, would you stick Jimmy Graham back there and try and swat the ball before it crossed the plane of the goal post? In other words, do NBA rules apply in that you cannot block a kick after it reaches its apex?
The excellent Chris Brown of Smart Football addressed this question four years ago, and it turns out to be an illegal play. A few years back, Packers wideout Randall Cobb, back to return a David Akers field-goal attempt, tried to block it. He whiffed and Akers's attempt hit the crossbar. But if Cobb had succeeded, he would have been flagged for "goaltending," just like in basketball. That's a 15-yard penalty.
But it gets weirder in college football. In college, if you send someone back there and he blocks the field goal and the ball flies out of bounds, the result is a SAFETY. Juh? And if your guy catches the field goal before it sails over the crossbar, it's LEGAL. I don't know if you can then return the ball after catching it, but you may as well because everyone would be so impressed by your catch that they would forget to tackle you.
Now, those are the rules, as arcane and arbitrary as they may be. But I think you SHOULD be able to goaltend a field goal. You'd be rewarding a fantastic display of athletic ability and timing. It's not like basketball goaltending, which is relatively easy for a center. If field-goal goaltending were legal, it would still only happen once in a blue moon, if ever. So why make it a penalty and ruin it? The NFL should always err on the side of NOT having things be penalties, because penalties ruin everything.
What would happen if a football player was carrying the ball and got his leg ripped off before scoring a touchdown? Would the touchdown count or would the runner be down where his knee hit the ground, even if it's not connected to his body?
One severed knee equals two feet, amigo. They don't take pity on you and gift you a touchdown for hopping to the endzone with one leg and a bloody stump. BUT THEY SHOULD!
Has the first person to live 150 years been born yet?
Famed scientist and bearded man Aubrey de Grey (I met him and he was kind of a dick!) has publicly said that the first person to live to 150 has already been born and that the first person to live a thousand years will be born sometime in the next two decades. I do not believe this, mostly because I don't want to get my hopes up and then end up being REALLY annoyed that I died at age 79.
But the real reason I don't believe in functional immortality happening soon (even though I wrote a book about it ****PLUG SIREN****) is because miraculously extending the human lifespan tenfold is something that probably takes a REALLY long time to figure out. It takes money and ambition and it will probably require you to file all kinds of insurance licenses and patent forms, and then the fuckers at Pfizer will sue you and be like OH YEAH SORRY NO WE HAVE A COPYRIGHT ON THE AGING GENE LULZ. And the insurance industry will be like YOU CAN'T CURE AGING THEN WE WON'T MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OLD PEOPLE SEE YOU IN COURT. There is so much bureaucratic red tape and political horseshit that miraculous scientific discoveries probably get buried every day. Because people are assholes.
There are certain limits to biology and chemistry and physics that we can never overcome. We'll never invent a spaceship that travels faster than the speed of light because physics won't allow it. We'll probably never figure out cold fusion because, again, physics (I think it's physics?) won't allow it. And those limits may exist in biology as well. Doctors know next to nothing about how the brain works, so good luck figuring out how to keep that shit functional for a millennium, no matters how many nanobots you inject into the back of your neck. The reason de Grey makes these kind of predictions is A) it makes for good copy, and B) it gets people to think bigger about shit, which is good.
By the way, you people with Google Glass: YOU ARE NOT CYBORGS. I know the reason you wear Google Glass is so that you look like a cyborg, but you are not a cyborg. Real cyborgs make fun of you at cyborg dinner parties.
Does time of conception matter? Does it affect how a fetus develops? Say, if I were conceived a split second earlier than I was, would I look different?
Oh, totally. If you had been born a second earlier, you would have had blond hair and green eyes and been a foot taller. You would have gotten into Harvard and NEVER been arrested for possession of animal barbiturates. You would have married a fine woman named Sheryl, heiress to a North Carolina shipping fortune. And you would have had three wonderful children, all Rhodes Scholars.
But nooooooo, your parents had to lollygag and fuck at the exact wrong time. And look at you now! Sitting a computer with no pants on and emailing stoner questions in the dead of night. Oh, what could have been.
Seriously though, I don't think it would have mattered.
How long do you think it takes the average person to become comfortable enough to discuss their bodily functions at work? I'm in an office of about 10 people. Someone is always sharing a little too much when it comes to pooping and other gastrointestinal issues (i.e. gas, constipation, hemorrhoids).
Just this morning my colleague that's been here for about two months looked a little sick. I asked him what was wrong and he informed me that he's pooping every five minutes. Did I mention I'm also his supervisor? Does that change things?
Welp, at least you'll be in no danger of sexually harassing him any time soon. I think it completely depends on the friends you make at work. I used to work in an office and there were some people there I knew for years whom I wouldn't even give my fucking phone number to if I didn't have to. But then some asshole guy my age could show up and be my friend right away and we'd be talking about poop within two days.
I think that you can figure out your average office worker within about two months of his arrival, at the latest. In other words, it takes roughly two months for everyone at the office to see past their initial "I'm gonna be nice to everyone and work long hours to impress everyone!" thing and know who the new guy really is: a misanthrope, a wiseguy, a humorless prick, etc. Once you have him figured out, you'll know if poop talk is an option or not and adjust accordingly.
What would you rather have as a super power? The ability to will anybody on TV to break out into any porn scenario of your choosing, or have the ability to fly? As a follow up, if you sampled a 1000 men, what is the porn versus flight ratio pre and post Modern Family?
I like Modern Family, but I don't watch it much anymore because I'm afraid Julie Bowen will crawl out of the television and eat me. She's mildly terrifying.
Anyway, most guys would still take the flying option. It's not as if your pornographic choices—as it stands today—are limited. If you need to see Sofia Vergara in a hardcore threesome, you can find plenty of nonunion Mexican porn equivalents online to seal the deal. Men are very greedy about nakedness. They see one naked woman and then they're like, "But I wanna see that OTHER girl naked!" Take your flying superpower and be happy with the nudity that you have. It's the smart play.
I just got done eating a club sandwich from a restaurant, and as usual, the top of my mouth is destroyed. Regardless, I'll be ordering another in the near future. Give us the ranking of food that's worth the pain that will inevitably occur later.
One time my wife made rouladen, which is a German dish of thin beef rolled up with bacon and pickles and cooked in sauce. It's awesome. Anyway, she forgot to tell me that she used a toothpick to hold the rolled beef together, and I take VERY large bites of food when I'm excited. So I stuffed one in my mouth, bit down, and damn near pierced my soft palate clean through. It was like eating a rabbit trap. So watch out for toothpicks in club sandwiches and beefy German dishes.
Anyway, your undisputed king of painful foods is the first bite of pizza. No man alive can ever wait long enough for it to cool down. I will be burned again. Honorable mention to Five Guys french fries. They're so hot they'll burn you through the fucking bag.
Those of us who have had the pleasure of working in BIG CORPORATE AMERICA are all familiar with the Out of Office email explanation to the full staff before going on vacation. Without further comment, I now present the best out of office message ever, sent this morning at my DC marketing firm:
"I will be out of the office tomorrow Friday, October 18 as I will be competing with my BBQ team, 'The Thrill of Hickory, The Agony of Mesquite' at a BBQ competition in the mountains of VA. I will have little access to the outside world, but will be back bright and early on Monday morning."
I never believe people when they say in their little vacation auto-reply, "I will have limited access to phone or email." You're not going to the moon. You know damn well you're gonna have your phone on you and it will be operational. Your auto-sig should say, "I'll have email and phone access but please don't bother me with work shit or I'll fucking kill myself."
Anyway, that's a fine vacation out-of-office message, until your colleague comes back and forgets to turn that shit off for eight days. Then it's the worst thing ever.
Also, every time I get a group email from someone that requires some kind of mass reply, there will always be one dud address in the chain, triggering the rage-inducing MAILER DAEMON DELIVERY FAILURE auto-email that no one on Earth likes. I'm gonna block this thing. I don't wanna know if my email never made it to someone.
It's not uncommon at my office to grab some to-go sushi from a nearby joint and eat said sushi at one's desk for lunch. As anyone who's done this knows, the difficulty is in balancing the plastic top of the sushi tray on the edge of the bottom plate so as to create a little reservoir for soy sauce dipping. This week, while walking past a coworker's desk, I see her tear open the Kikkomen packet, and simply pour it over the sushi. Is this totally inappropriate California Roll technique?
I do it all the time out of sheer laziness, especially if I don't have a little dish nearby to mix the sushi and ginger and wasabi paste into a bastardized sushi dipping sauce that would make some Tokyo-based foodie grit his teeth in outrage. I'll pour the soy sauce on the sushi, wipe some wasabi on the top, and go from there. I've spilled enough soy sauce in life to know that those packets are death. Soy sauce should never come in tear packets. Ever. It's like asking for dry-cleaning fees. (By the way, the restaurant soy sauce dishes aren't much better because they are all TINY. Why are they so fucking tiny? I want a gallon of soy sauce on each piece. This is America. Don't limit my sodium intake.)
A couple more things about those lunchtime sushi trays. First off, they are always disgustingly overpriced. My sticker shock for grocery-store sushi knows no bounds. I always want the jumbo tray with all the sashimi tastefully arranged around a chilled lobster head, but then I see the price of $35 and I skulk away with an $8 tray of tuna/avocado rolls. The markup must be insane.
Secondly, if you're gonna pour soy sauce right on the sushi, it's best to do it one piece at a time if you can deal. The longer the piece sits in the soy sauce, the more likely it is to fall apart. Oh, if I had a nickel for all the times I had to go fishing through a tiny little bowl for shards of eel. Why, I'd have enough money to buy a tray of salmon rolls at Whole Foods, I would!
Do you hear someone's voice in your head while you read or does your brain just synthesize the words? I ask because I hear a voice reading aloud what I'm reading and the voice changes depending on the author/character/subject.
Yeah, but it's a flitting thing. I dunno about you, but when I read a book, I can kinda hear characters' voices and see characters' faces, but they aren't fully formed. You can see and hear the IDEA of them, if that makes any sense. It's like seeing people in a dream; the picture isn't always 100 percent crystal clear. Your thoughts are ghosts. This is why people get all pissy EVERY TIME they find out about casting for the movie version of their favorite book. People are like, "That's not Christian Grey!" No shit, lady. That's because no one is.
Me and a few friends we're talking at a bar the other night about how much more awesome challenge flags would be in the NFL if you could combine both of your challenges and get a 5th down. You go for it on 4th at the end of the game, the opposing team gets the stop, but then no, no, no, you throw both your red flags and then bam, one more try and you punch it in. Do you go the whole game, no challenge, knowing you can have one extra chance at the end of a game if you're down by say 3, or do you blow your load on challenges in the first quarter, a-la Jason Garrett? Christ Andy Reid would save them every time, and then probably eat them.
As fun as it would be, I can't get on board with any rule change that makes the game MORE complicated. Like, football is already insanely complicated, to the point where I still can't explain it properly to any of my family members without feeling like an idiot. The NFL is already considering centralizing its replay system (with replay officials in a command center ready to relay calls to on-field officials), and my hope is that the change will end the challenge system for good, because it shouldn't be a matter of strategy to get a ref to un-fuck a bad call. They should have the courtesy to un-fuck it for free.
If you're gonna give people a bonus fifth down that they can exhaust at any time, I would make it its own thing, and not tie it to the challenge system. You get that fifth down to use any time you like, and then Andy Reid runs a fifth straight fullback dive at the goal line and everyone starts throwing iceballs.
I volunteered at the zoo recently (cute girls, animals, its fun), and worked with elephants. The head trainer lady gave me the whole lowdown. To be certified to train these magnificently intelligent animals is a huge process, obviously, so there's like 86 total certified trainers worldwide, and 1 dies every few years. Horrible statistics. She personally knew several people who have been killed. The trainer has to be accepted as a pseudo-leader of the herd, and if you accidentally upset delicate herd hierarchy, they'll turn on you and crush your head like a grape.
But they seem so gentle! Who knew the largest land-based animals on Earth could end up harming you? By the way, let's rank the animals at your standard zoo, right now:
1. Elephants
2. Gorillas and other assorted primates
3. Polar bears
4. Giraffes
5. Rhinos
6. Zebras
7. Anacondas
8. Tarantulas (behind glass PLEEZ)
9. Kangaroos
10. Tigers
11. Alligators
12. Bigass tortoise
13. Lions (wayyyy overrated)
14. Birds
Birds are dumb. Ever go to a zoo with really common animals hanging around, like chickens? I don't need a chicken here. Get that chicken to a Bojangles.
Ever had one of these friends or acquaintances who "don't get hangovers" no matter how much they drink? These people are totally full of shit, right?
They are. What they usually mean is that they know how to fend off a hangover: Advil, lots of water, no sweet cocktails, etc. You get more knowledgeable about preventing hangovers as you get older (and as hangovers worsen), but that doesn't mean you're some superhero who magically never gets them.
Email of the week!
I was a little bit sick during one of the many parties I attended during college. It was a medium-sized kegger at an old, one-bathroom house in a Big State University town, and one of my best friends was one of the guys hosting the party. But being a little bit sick is not something that stops one from partying on a Saturday night in college, so party I did. After many beers and shots and several blunts and bong rips, the rumbling started. However, as I mentioned, there was only one bathroom at this house. There was a line about eight people deep when I looked into the hallway. Not only would I not have been able to wait until it was my turn, but there were hot women around, and you don't really want to be the dude who completely destroys the bathroom.
Thinking quickly, I went to the rather large back yard and casually walked past all the smokers on the patio and made my way unnoticed to the other side of a shed at the back of the yard. I knew this would be an explosive experience, so I completely removed my pants and boxers and threw them a safe distance away, crouched down and unleashed a semi-liquid stream of unholy hell onto the grass and dirt below. By FAR the most voluminous bowel movement of my life to that point, and since. I needed a little bit of cleanup but had not thought that far ahead when I went into the yard, so I just used my boxers and left them there.
I resumed partying without incident. But the next morning, being a brain-dead male college student, I got the urge to go check out my work — I couldn't see it the night before in the darkness. I just wanted to see how big it was. And, well, I was impressed. Picture a thick cow patty about a foot wide next to a shitty pair of boxers. If this were the everyone-has-a-camera-on-their-phone era like it is now, I'm sure I'd have a picture to share, but alas, I don't. I told my buddy about it a year or so later and he said he discovered the cow patty and shitty boxers when mowing the lawn not long after the party, and even then he was too impressed to be angry. College, man.

Who was/is Mary Wells ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
Mary Wells
My Guy
Mary Wells
My Guy
Ever since Smokey Robinson took over the production reins for Motown queen Mary Wells' output, the precocious chanteuse could do no wrong. Under Smokey's creative control, Wells posted three 1962 smashes, The One Who Really Loves You, You Beat Me To The Punch, and the coy Two Lovers, all employing refreshing Caribbean-tinged rhythms. 1963 kept the momentum rolling as Mary cooed Smokey's Laughing Boy, Your Old Standby, and What's Easy For Two Is So Hard For One, while Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote the hit You Lost The Sweetest Boy on the opposite side of the latter.
But Smokey saved his best for last: My Guy gave Wells her long-awaited number one pop hit (R&B too). Wells was more seductive than ever after the stately horn intro, lifted directly from Eddie Heywood's Canadian Sunset. Bassist James Jamerson is incredible throughout but especially on the last breaks, while the Andantes, Motown's indispensable trio of female backing vocalists, add sassy retorts. Motown boss Berry Gordy appreciated their role in the tune's success. "He gave us a bonus of $500," says The Andantes' Louvain Demps. "That was the first bonus we ever got!"
But there were storm clouds looming. Despite the mammoth success of My Guy and Mary's concurrent double-sided hit duet with Marvin Gaye, Wells' husband Herman Griffin, a former Motown artist, apparently persuaded Mary that she could do better elsewhere. Because she signed her contract prior to her 21st birthday, Mary managed to slip free, inking a pact with 20th Century Fox Records. It was a major tactical error. Wells managed a handful of decent sellers for the label and a #6 R&B entry on Atco in 1966 with Dear Lover (produced by Carl Davis), but she never scaled the heights she had at Hitsville. Mary ended up on the oldies circuit until throat cancer robbed her of her most precious possession. She died at 49 on July 26, 1992.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
With America's collective confidence in Washington, D.C. seemingly at an all time low as a result of the current government shutdown, on Tuesday evening Piers Morgan invited Jesse Ventura to share his unique and refreshing brand of political perspective.
With a live studio audience hanging on every word, the former professional wrestler once known simply as "The Body" proudly explained why the doing away with traditional parties is the logical step in regaining the country's faith and trust in the voting process.
"Is it feasible in our lifetime that you could have a candidate running for president who was successful who was not a member of the Republican or Democratic Party," asked the "Piers Morgan Live" host.
"I did it. I won the Governorship in Minnesota, and was not a member of the Democrat or the Republican," declared Ventura.
However, is such a political victory realistic on a national scale?
"Sure," said the author of the new book "They Killed Our President: 63 Reasons to Believe There Was a Conspiracy to Assassinate JFK." "If I'm allowed in the debates. But you notice those two parties control the debates? They won't let anyone else in them. If I can debate them, Piers, I can beat them. It's that simple."
Watch the rest of the clip, as Ventura goes on to explain why he's never used a prepared speech during a debate, and for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Twitter
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Instagram
Mr. Ventura needs to ease off on the conspiracy theories if he wants a chance at the presidency. He needs to stop talking over people asking him questions: he resorts to speaking ad nauseam instead of actually answering questions. That isn't "winning" a debate, except if you're a 6 year old on the playground.
Otherwise, his isolationist populist message could gain traction. I also agree that a viable 3rd party that is invited to debates and regularly interviewed by the news media would be productive. The media often does much of the campaigning for candidates itself.
Why? Its mostly more than likely true and when he is in office he will prove ALL the crooked ones in D.C. really are crooked and then we can find out what treason obama is doing there with his 6 muslim brotherhood members as well...
From the neck up -at least- you successfully reveal complete ossification. Shrieking, reckless, ignorant hysteria of this type has no place in intelligent discourse. Your diatribe is ineffably, horrifically repellent, and stink in the nostrils of honest discourse.
The law should be for ever one congress too. All the DEMS! Why should the ones that past it not want it? Obama don't talk to us talk to the GOP.
Hill is the only one who smile when you said US well not to be the super power for long. Odd!
مضحك جدا
sound good to me from him .. if he really stand up wise right speaking make me looks at motive action on breif news what his dramma mouth ..i like him to vote for future pro wrestling prez usa . u think worth his mouth....
Governor, I salute you and would support you all the way! Gooden rob, I have no idea what you just posted? Care to explain properly...? Mr Peebles, if you notice, Piers is actually talking over Jesse and not letting him explain. That is why all these talkshow hoasts get paid, to be agressive and to stir things up, so you (the viewer) can be excited and watch the show again (ratings). Piers has to hold his own, whether or not he lets anyone speak or explain is irrelevant (or he gets canned and labeled as a wuss by his boss). Answers need to be quick and to the point, because of the 11 minute timeframe and the short attention span that people have. Long, meaningful and intelectual debates get boring to the average dumb viewer, that is why they need to make it sharp, short and exciting. Another reason viewers and voters and stupid and uninformed. Get it?
CNN ratings are already dumpster-bound. Low-quality debate -with some exceptions- like this is contributory.
Morgan has hit some lows in quality, coupled with a not media-friendly vocal quality. An office co-worker from hell. Voice lessons perhaps?
Ventura for President! America is on it's knees BEGGING for the end of this corruption! Ventura said on RT's "Breaking the Set" today, that he would only run if Howard Stern runs with him (Financing/Radio platform). I strongly encourage everyone write Stern, and plead for America's future!
I noticed that Ventura does not interrupt and listen attentively to what opponents have to say. What he is speaking is truth and has total sense.
I am truly disgusted by the arrogance of Congress as well as the President. All of which receive timely pay checks. It seems they have no real sense of the damage this shutdown is doing to government employees and our families. How dare they demand that exempted service employees continue to indefinitely report for work while financing commuting and travel costs out of our own pockets without any certain sense of where or when our next pay check is coming from. Family resources are finite and bills such as mortgages, prescriptions, child care, groceries and utilities are all coming dangerously close to being due. What happens when the money runs out and there is still no pay check in sight?
The problem being Jesse, the low-quality of your contribution to the 'debate'. A very funny assertion.
I'm surprised that Piers Morgan doesn't know that UK regimes use energy assault weapons, types of radar, weaponization of space, on targeted citizens for subjugation.
Seen many aliens and/or flying saucers lately. I'm relying on you to keep us all up-to-date! Oh, and do you do stand-up?
It seems to be that the EU and U.S. both support this strategy of denial, the use of energy assault weapons, types of radar, weaponization of space, and involved in denying the UK regimes are doing this to their own citizens and that of others.
Exemplary work with this write-up! I enjoy the manner in which you will shown your information in addition to the process a person caused it to be essential along with clear to recognise. %KW%
Ashley http://www.motociclistas.cl/foro/index.php?action=profile;u=14725
After the first TV station called the race saying he d won, the governor-elect told his team he wanted to wait for more results before making his victory speech. After campaigning on a tax cut, Ventura refunded part of a state surplus to taxpayers — payments he dubbed Jesse checks.
This is my kind of summer dish! I could totally eat this 3-4 times a week.

EXTREMOPHILE RESEARCH: THEORY AND TECHNIQUES JULY 6-9, 1998 Center of Marine Biotechnology (COMB) , Baltimore, Maryland http://www.atcc.org/workshops/extremo.html (703) 365-2726 This four-day laboratory-intensive course will cover procedures, methodologies and up-to-date information about the Archaea, a group of organisms commonly found in what are considered harsh or extreme environments. This workshop provides introductory and intermediate level instruction in Archaeal laboratory techniques, including growth, biochemistry, and genetics. A basic knowledge of microbiology and nucleic acid laboratory procedures is helpful. This year, due to generous support from the National Science Foundation, we are able to offer a limited number of full-tuition stipends to workshop participants. This support is available to: graduate students postdoctoral fellows faculty from small colleges or universities Stipends will be given out on a first come first served basis so please apply early. The first day of the course will be devoted to a symposium on topics in Archaeal research with Methanogenic, (Hyper)Thermophilic and Halophilic Archaea, including: molecular biology, genetics and physiology, ecology, phylogeny, genome organization, genomic applications, consortia and bioremediation, virology, archaeal lipids and lipid biochemistry, and biotechnological applications. The following three days will be devoted to laboratory sessions, which will be preceded by a lecture on methodology and procedures for each of the Archaeal groups. The laboratory sessions will include three two-hour blocks of demonstration and hands-on experiments focusing on Methanogenic, Thermophilic, and Halophilic Archaea and includes media preparation, inoculation, growth, plating, counting, anaerobic biochemistry, transformation, virus induction, and transfection. The broad hands-on experience should give attendees the necessary background and information to conduct similar studies in their own laboratories. This workshop will benefit those with a foreseeable need to use Archaeal systems in their studies. "Archaea: A Laboratory Manual," published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, will be used as a framework for the experiments conducted in the workshop. PLEASE NOTE: This workshop will be conducted at the University of Maryland's Center of Marine Biotechnology (COMB) in the Columbus Center, located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Faculty: Harold J.

Streecha: Ukranian Home Cooking in an East Village Basement
Since the New York Times wrote about the little basement cafeteria in the East Village serving homespun Ukrainian cooking, the small sign outside and up the stairs—your only street marker—has been replaced by something more spiffy and long-lasting. Some of the women behind the stove have retired, too. But the food at Streecha has largely remained the same.
Streecha is a small fundraising enterprise for the St. George Ukrainian church on East 7th Street and its adjunct private school. From roughly 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you can stop in with a $10 and get lunch for two with change.
The ladies of this cafeteria serve a homespun menu of boiled potato dumplings (varenyky), stuffed cabbage (holubtsi), sausage with sauerkraut, and the like, in renditions that speak more to home cooking* than diner food.
* See also: pierogi to-go around the corner.
That means there's not much griddle grease, though the boiled varenyky are subtle to the point of blandness, the borscht is watery, the sausage is plain, the pork-stuffed stuffed cabbage (from J. Baczynsky around the corner) is tasty but uncomplicated. Make sure to ask for sour cream and load up on the free bacon bits available at a side table.
Look past the just-okay food and harsh florescent lighting and you'll find great opportunities for people-watching (especially after church lets out) and a quiet respite from the East Village's rough edges. Dirt-cheap prices help—all that you see here cost less than $20—but what draws me back is that the community hangout takes all comers. This cafeteria may be of and for Ukrainian locals, but it's a place of refuge, and nourishment, for any who stop by.

Sony SAL 24-70mm f/2.8 ZA SSM Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T*
Compact Design, All-Around Versatility
This superb 24-70mm zoom lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of photo applications -- a lens you can put on and leave on, providing large-aperture brightness that's easy to carry (35mm equivalent: 36-105mm).
Superior Large-Aperture Performance
Like other large-aperture Carl Zeiss® lens designs, this f2.8 24-70mm zoom lens is simply magnificent in its ability to capture brilliant high-resolution images in low-light conditions requiring fully open aperture.
In-Camera Image Stabilization
A major reason for its compact, lightweight design is the benefit of Super SteadyShot® in-camera image stabilization, built into every Sony á system DSLR -- and enabling accessory lenses to eliminate the extra weight and expense of in-lens stabilization mechanisms.
SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)
Designed for fast, smooth, silent automatic focusing, this unique technology achieves high torque at low speed with rapid start/stop response. It operates through the ability of a piezoelectric device to reshape itself quickly when voltage is applied.
Carl Zeiss® T* Coating
Coated optics were pioneered by Carl Zeiss® -- and this superb lens features T* (T-Star) coating that virtually eliminates the lens flare, internal reflection and light scattering that can otherwise occur at glass-to-air surfaces.
Multi-Element Design
The SAL-2470Z is designed with 17 lens elements in 13 groups, including 2 aspherical elements and 2 ED glass elements. Floating motion between the third and fourth groups of lens elements helps compensate for any aberrations caused by the zooming action of the lens.
Glass-Molded Aspherical Lens Elements
These precision lens elements correct distortion for sharper, more visually accurate images across the entire zoom range of the lens.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Because light of different wavelength (or color) bends at different angles when it passes through a lens, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass is used in Carl Zeiss® lenses to eliminate chromatic aberration by correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.

Education as a Field
The field of education is brimming with options and opportunities. People in the field of education may serve in a variety of roles, focus on a breadth of subjects and work in numerous settings. The field of education may offer professionals a great degree of flexibility, plenty of room for growth and wonderful opportunities to make a difference. Educators, in all of their different forms, may enjoy interesting and dynamic careers.
The Many Paths of Educators
As mentioned above, there are many paths that people interested in the field of education choose to follow. Some become teachers or principals at the pre-school, K-12, community college, four-year college, or adult education level; some work as researchers or curriculum designers; some work as coaches or counselors; and others work as school administrators. Within those paths, educators might focus on a specialization such as special education, teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), or Multicultural Education. They might also focus their studies on a particular subject area such as social studies, math and sciences, literature and languages, or athletics. Educators may enjoy an immense amount of options and potential directions.
Where do Educators Work?
Educators may work in a variety of venues. Those venues might be public or private, mandated by the state or independent, large or small. They may include community colleges, four-year colleges, public colleges, or private colleges. They may be independently-run charter or private schools or state-mandated public schools. They may be in wealthy neighborhoods, working and middle-class neighborhoods, or impoverished neighborhoods. They may serve rural communities or urban communities. They may be focused on serving students with disabilities, students with specific talents, or students from other countries. They may be religious, political, or social. They may be established to serve any number of types of people and communities.
Who are Educators?
Because the field of education is so expansive, there are myriad types of people who work in education. There are, however, several traits that seem to accompany the majority of educators. You might be an educator if:
What Does it Take to Work in the Field of Education?
The type of education, certification, and training required to become an educator depends upon your chosen field. The majority of educators, regardless of their fields, are required to have at least a bachelor's degree, preferably in a subject compatible with their chosen fields.
Educators who wish to become "K-12" teachers (or teachers who teach at elementary, middle, or high schools) may be required to earn a state-mandated "teacher's license" along with their bachelor's degree. Licenses may typically be earned by attending certification courses and student-teaching, or by participating in an "alternative licensing program". Many teacher certification programs are built into bachelor's degree programs allowing students to earn both within 4 years of full time study. Students, who have bachelors' degrees and wish to earn their masters' degrees and become teachers at the K-12 level, may be required to earn their teacher's license prior to beginning their master's program. Earning a teacher's license once you've already earned your bachelor's degree generally takes one to three years of fulltime study.
Certification programs and licensing requirements vary by state in the United States.
Educators who wish to teach at the community college level are typically required to have a bachelor's and master's degree or a bachelor's degree and several years of experience working with the subjects they would like to teach. Educators who wish to teach at the four-year college level must typically have a bachelor's and master's degree to teach lower-division courses and a Ph.D. to teach upper-division courses. Educators who wish to earn a tenure-track job at a four-year college or university are typically required to have a Ph.D. College-level educators are not required to have the same license as K-12 teachers.
The types of degrees and certifications required of administrators, counselors, and researchers depend upon where they would like to work, at what level of education and at what type of school. Some administrators, counselors, and researchers are required to have a bachelor's degree while others are required to have a master's degree or Ph.D.
Educators who wish to specialize in a particular area typically must typically earn certifications in addition to their degrees or complete a degree program that includes the required certifications. Check with your college or university to see what types of specializations and certifications are offered and to determine whether or not they're offered concurrent with your program.

AUDNZD gap close
I'm not sure this will be today's problem - but the charts say otherwise. And we trade what we see, not what we think. Retest of 1H/50 and 15M/200 is complete. SL below each, TP slightly below daily 8ema. BOTH AUD and NZD are off the edge of a cliff so take reduced risk, as we don't like trading currencies moving the same way! Await STRONG continuation from 15m. Three bullish candles - probably an entry at the previous high giving a 2:1RR approx.

At least 17 horses died when a fire completely destroyed a large stable at the All Seasons mushroom farm on 224 Street near 40 Avenue in Langley Township on Sunday afternoon (June 1).
They were elite harness racing standardbreds that competed at the Fraser Downs track in Cloverdale.
It is believed to be one of the worst fires involving livestock ever recorded in Langley Township.
The blaze was first reported shortly after 2 p.m.
At the height of the fight, up to 14 fire trucks and 60 firefighters were on the scene.
It took about two hours to get the fire under control.
Firefighters had to load water from hydrants down the street and transport it to the blaze, located in an area without direct water service.
The stable was completely destroyed.
Two farmworkers were treated for smoke inhalation, but were not expected to suffer any lasting injury.
A fire department crew returned to the scene Monday to hose down smouldering hot spots.
An excavator was brought in to retrieve the horses' bodies.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
All Seasons mushroom farm owner Frank Moscone told The Times his understanding is that some of the horses were race horses, but because his company leased the building out and did not handle the day-to-day operation, he was unable to say exactly how many were in the stable at the time.
According to the Standardbred Canada website, the majority of the horses stabled in the barn competed in Fraser Downs harness racing.
They were trained by Bill Davis and owned by Rick Mowles of J J J Stables.
"Along with the devastating loss of all the horses, Bill and Laurie Davis lost their entire livelihood as well," said family friend Walter Slopianka.
"It was a total loss of everything they have worked their lives to build," Slopianka said.
"Anything and everything horse racing related was lost, from water buckets, harnesses … to all of Bill's racing colours and helmets."
Slopianka is co-ordinating donations to help the Davis family get back on their feet.
He can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
One comment posted on The Times website said the horses would have been kept indoors at the time of the fire because elite race horses are exercised early in the morning and late in the afternoon, to avoid when the weather is especially hot.
The SPCA told The Times the animal protection agency will not be investigating the care the horses received.
The organic mushroom farm was built on the site of a former horse track.
All Seasons applied to the Township for permission to fill in the former horse oval to grow hay, but was turned down in February of this year after some residents objected to the amount of fill, roughly 7,000 truck loads worth.

An "old-fashioned" groundbreaking will be held July 30 for the new Homestead hospice inpatient facility, complete with a working mule and plow and banjo music.
The hospice has raised $2.8 million of the $3.6 million needed to build and equip the facility through two generous grants, community donations and a donation from the Bernice Medford estate. The new facility will house six beds for hospice patients, offering families with a dying loved one a choice in between hospitalization and in-home care.
The groundbreaking will be held at 10 a.m. near the construction site on the hospital campus. Marc Pruett of the Balsam Range will provide bluegrass music for the occasion. Construction on the inpatient facility is expected to be completed by Sept. 2011. Clark & Leatherwood construction company of Waynesville is slated to serve as contractors for the project.
The second phase of the project will eventually be the end-of-life outreach center, which will focus on outpatient services and community outreach programs, including space for medical professionals, therapists, clergy and volunteers to collaboratively manage care for patients in the home care hospice program. There will be private rooms for counseling services and bereavement therapy, a reference library for resources related to terminal diseases and end-of-life issues, and a community education center with multimedia capability. A courtyard will connect the two buildings, and memorial gardens will provide for intentional counseling through gardening and for memorial butterfly and dove releases.

Prince George's Wacky Gifts: From a Baby Crocodile to a Field of Flowers
The little prince has received some interesting presents from friends and admirers over the past year
Prince George is one popular little boy.
While most babies are given cute onesies or silver rattles to celebrate their births, Prince William and Kate's firstborn child had a mountain of gifts (from 48 different countries) bestowed upon him during his first year.
Some of them are wackier than others.
Australia's Northern Territory gave the prince a little baby crocodile (called George, obviously) that was hatched on the day his conception was announced. In the absence of a natural saltwater river on the grounds of Kensington Palace, the scaly creature remains in Australia with updates sent to George on an annual basis. Or he can just check out the croc's very own Facebook page.
Other animals that have been adopted in his honor include three slender-tailed meerkats named "George," "Alexander" and "Louis" (the toddler's full name), from the Dudley and West Midlands Zoological Society.
The tribal elders in Samburu, Kenya, gifted him a goat and a fatted bull which, with four heifers, would be used to start a royal herd. At a traditional Samburu ceremony, the elders blessed the animals while native women danced.
To celebrate George's christening in October, Count Tibor Kalnoky, a friend of proud grandpa Prince Charles, sent George some flowers – a whole field of them, to be precise. "If we sent flowers, they would wilt," said the count, who is also a conservationist. "The gift will protect the area and contribute to raising public awareness so that rare flowers can be protected."
And then there was the ornamental orb given to George by Pope Francis. Made from lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone, it features a silver cross of St. Edward the Confessor and is inscribed with the words "From Pope Francis to Prince George of Cambridge." It was accompanied by a manuscript dating back to 1679 – probably not one for the toy box.
There were also lots of sporty gifts: a bike with a plaque inscribed with a crown and the initial G, a miniature Sealegs amphibious boat that drives on land and rides on water, a customized surfboard emblazoned with his name.
At the Royal Easter Show just outside Sydney, Australia, he got a rocking horse, but he also received hundreds of stuffed animals, toys and other smaller gifts that were personally given to his parents on the royal tour to Australia and New Zealand earlier this year. At one stop, young volunteers carried box after box of teddies and other gifts to the royal convoy.

The air pollutants for the_title() ?> are Low (1). This information is based on NO2 (µg/m³) with a level of 9.18.
Please click on the tabs above for a breakdown of this sites latest readings or click on the generate graph tab for more detailed information.
This site does not monitor particulate matter.
The monitoring station is housed within a self-contained, air-conditioned unit located opposite Victoria County Primary School on the kerbside of Victoria Road (A5152) and 70 metres from Ruthin Road (A525). The surrounding area is comprises of residential and open common areas.
The Daily Air Quality Index (DAQI) has been developed to provide advice on expected levels of air pollution. In addition, information on the short-term effects on health that might be expected to occur at the different bands of the index (Low, Moderate, High, Very High) is provided. Our aim is to educate and inform, however if you are concerned DEFRA provide a free automated telephone service on 0800 556677.
It is possible that very sensitive individuals may experience health effects even on low air pollution days. However, air pollution in the UK does not rise to levels at which most people need to make major changes to their habits to avoid exposure; you needn't fear going outdoors, especially when armed with information about cause and affect.
It is known that, when levels of air pollutants rise, adults suffering from heart conditions, and adults and children with lung conditions, are at increased risk of becoming ill and needing treatment. Only a minority of those who suffer from these conditions are likely to be affected and it is not possible to predict in advance who will be.
Some people are aware that air pollution affects their health: adults and children with asthma may notice that they need to increase their use of inhaled reliever medication on days when levels of air pollution are higher than average. Older people are more likely to suffer from heart and lung conditions than young people and so it makes good sense for them to be aware of current air pollution conditions.
At very high levels of air pollution, some people may experience a sore or dry throat, sore eyes or, in some cases, a tickly cough even in healthy individuals. Children need not be kept from school or prevented from taking part in games.
When levels of air pollution increase it would be sensible for those who have noticed that they are affected to limit their exposure to air pollutants. This does not mean staying indoors, but reducing levels of exercise outdoors would be reasonable.
Pollution is caused from natural or man-made actions. There are many types of pollutants produced from a variety of sources. Pollutants are classified as primary or secondary:
Primary Pollutants These are gases or particles that are blown into the air. Historically, the main air pollution problem has typically been high levels of smoke and sulphur dioxide emitted following the combustion of sulphur-containing fossil fuels such as coal, used for domestic and industrial purposes. These days, the pollutant of most particular concern is is carbon monoxide that comes from motor vehicle traffic.
Secondary Pollutants These are just as harmful as primary pollutions and are not emitted directly; they form in the atmosphere when primary pollutants join together in a chemical reaction:

Petition to make Opening Day a national holiday reaches White House
Budweiser's marketing ploy has reached a new level of seriousness. The petition seeking to make baseball's Opening Day a national holiday has reached 100,000 signatures, forcing it to be considered by the White House.
Let's get this out of the way first and foremost: There is no way you'll get the day off work on the first day of the baseball season (not that it wouldn't be awesome). In order for that to happen, it would have to go through both houses of Congress. For a long list of reasons, don't hold your breath.
Budweiser isn't pushing for a full-blown holiday, though. The brewer, owned by Belgian company InBev, is asking the president to proclaim March 31 "an official day of national observance in the United States," according to an article about it on MLB.com. In other words, it's an absolutely meaningless gesture that will do nothing except give Budweiser a platform on which to say that it's the official beer of baseball holiday, or something to that effect.
And, with many media outlets covering the promotion as if it were a very serious idea, Budweiser has already won.
