"In these first disciples was presented marked diversity. They were to be the world's teachers, and they represented widely varied types of character. In order successfully to carry forward the work to which they had been called, these men, differing in natural characteristics and in habits of life, needed to come into unity of feeling, thought, and action. This unity it was Christ's object to secure. To this end He sought to bring them into unity with Himself."-Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 20.
Discussion Questions:
- Why is a unified church structure so important for us? What would happen to our mission, to our message, and to our church as a whole if congregations, conferences, unions, or divisions were to go their own way? Imagine the chaos that would ensue.
- In class, answer the question: Why am I a Seventh-day Adventist?
- However important unity is for the church, are there some things that are even more important? If so, what? For instance, in dealing with those who preached doctrines with which he disagreed, Paul wrote this: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed" (Gal. 1:8-9). What happened to unity here, at least with these people?
- Dwell more on the issue of how our message and mission are crucial to our whole identity as Seventh-day Adventists. After all, what would our purpose be without our message, which no one else is preaching to the world? At the same time, what other things unite us as Seventh-day Adventists? That is, though we would have nothing were it not for our mission and message, what else do we have that helps to define us, and why are these important, as well?
- Why is unity so crucial for any revival and reformation among us?

An investor's asset allocation strategy refers to how money is divided across different classes of investments – i.e. stocks, bonds and cash. An asset location strategy, however, drills down a level deeper and deals with "where" or in which accounts to hold your chosen stocks, bonds and cash. Today's bond yields might prompt some investors to challenge conventional asset location advice.
Traditional asset location Investors fortunate enough to have money to save and invest over and above their RRSP and TFSA contributions need both asset allocation and asset location strategies. The standard advice is to stuff all of the bonds in RRSP, TFSA and similar accounts to defer or shelter tax on interest income (otherwise 100 per cent taxable). Similarly, stocks usually dominate non-registered accounts because they generate more lightly-taxed capital gains and (in the case of Canadian stocks) dividends.
But with bond yields having fallen (i.e. bond prices having risen) in the face of weak stock prices, this traditional asset location advice may not hold for everyone.
Minimize expected taxes payable Efficient asset location decisions are driven by minimizing taxes payable on investments. But actual taxes can only be confirmed after the fact. Accordingly, we need to make several assumptions to estimate future taxes from investment activities.
Assuming stocks return 8 per cent annually and bonds post returns of 2.36 per cent per year (Canadian bonds' yield to maturity at the time of writing), bonds might be best held outside of registered plans like RRSPs and TFSAs for higher-income investors. Alternately, those with a five-figure taxable income may want to stick with conventional asset location strategies.
The reason is simply that higher total returns usually result in higher taxes (particularly for higher income individuals). And with bonds sporting razor-thin yields, they don't stand to generate a heavy tax burden because the pre-tax return potential is so low. In other words, even though the tax rate applied to stock investing is lower compared to bonds, stocks' higher expected return may result in a higher dollar amount of tax for some. The table below summarizes some calculations and the many assumptions made for this illustration.
Stop, think and assess Despite the apparent precision, I can't stress enough that the above table is a very general illustration. For any given situation, the conclusion can swing either way.
For instance, if stocks produce a still-respectable but lower 7 per cent annualized return (or much lower), it will probably make more sense to hold stocks in non-registered accounts. But investors buying only high-yield stocks – a popular strategy today – may save taxes by doing the opposite and keeping that yield in registered plans to defer or shelter the tax.
Investors need to stop, think and assess before blindly following traditional asset location advice. In a general context, the conventional wisdom remains sound. But with low bond yields, it's worth running through some scenarios to help in this decision. And if you end up holding your bonds outside of registered plans, you might consider one of more tax-friendly bond alternatives available. In what may be a lower-return environment, any return enhancement is worth considering.

Elegance and hospitality in Norwood
After years of having visited Norwood's commercial Route 1 strip, what a surprise it was to discover Olivadi in the quiet town center.
The ample size of the venue and its extensive woodwork, windows, deck, private rooms, and built-in cabinetry (for holding cutlery and wine) convey a sense of comfort and ease. So, too, did the presence of the owner, Anthony Delapa, who greeted guests on both of my recent visits and, on one occasion, hosted a large party of diners himself as though the restaurant was his home and hospitality a matter of personal pride.
Olivadi has been through a couple of chefs since it opened two years ago and seems to have settled into a good groove in March with the arrival of Chef William Lopez, formerly of Newton's Tartufo.
His vegetable minestrone ($6 dinner; $5 lunch) is a nice way to start. It's a light, brothy rendition served in a pleasing square white bowl, atop a wooden tray, with pouty edges that beg to be sipped from.
It was served with a bread basket that held an assortment: inch-square hunks of foccacia; paper-thin, toasted shards with baked-on cheese; plain slices of an Italian boule. Along with the bread comes a small plate of a mild basil puree with a dollop of punchy tapenade at its center.
Thin slices of breaded eggplant, rolled and stuffed with a mild ricotta-spinach mixture, come two to an order of the eggplant involtini appetizer ($6 lunch). This is essentially eggplant parmesan at its delicate best. The simple marinara it comes with has a lovely texture and balanced blend of acid and sweet flavors.
In fact, it's the sauce we would have liked to have had on Anthony's Special Pasta ($15) — a homemade rigatoni with a "spicy Calabrese tomato sauce'' that was unappealingly thick and flat-tasting. The sauce may be a fond taste acquired in childhood, but misses entirely.
Still, there's much to choose from here. The couple next to us at dinner raved about their pork tenderloin ($23) and chicken piccata ($18), and the acoustics are so good in the spacious dining room, I could hear them at a short distance.
The sauce on the linguini that comes with a special haddock, clams, and mussels dish ($25) is yet another red sauce, with a bit of cream in it. It coats the pasta sparingly and is delicious. So, too, is the filet of haddock and the three small clams and six tiny mussels in their shells that fan out around the plate.
Servers follow pasta dishes to their guests and grate fresh parmesan in a snowy sprinkle: "Tell me when,'' they say, and we're embarrassed by how long we let them grate.
There's something about the flavor of a dish called Nonna's Roast Chicken ($17) that rattles an old memory: Perhaps it is Delapa's grandmother's recipe and close to something one of my aunts cooked. (The town of Olivadi, where Delapa was born, is only a few miles from the southern Italian Calabrian village where my grandparents grew up.) It is two bone-in pieces covered in crispy skin that seem to have been doused with a very lemony sauce. It is actually sour, but good. Although the menu says the dish comes with carrots, onions, and mushrooms, mine had summer squash, zucchini, and good roasted potatoes.
The shrimp scampi over spaghettini ($16 dinner; $10 lunch) at lunch is a simple plate of spaghetti with a butter, lemon, and garlic sauce that never goes wrong when it's done well, as it is here.
Just fine, too, is the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese ($11/$20 dinner; $12 lunch) — the pasta cooked just right and the meaty sauce a touch sweet, as it wants to be.
The thin, sour cream (crème fraiche?) and dill sauce that sides the Pistachio and Horseradish Crusted Salmon ($19 dinner; $13 lunch) is a smart reminder of that classic pairing.
The lunch version of the dish came with a mass of great roasted, sliced beets and a small mesclun salad. And the lunch menu's Tuscan Chicken Salad ($9 lunch) consists of flavorful mouthfuls of herbed, grilled chicken breast, fresh spinach, goat cheese, sliced red grapes, and candied walnuts.
Both desserts we had at Olivadi were gorgeous. The panna cotta ($7) is a silky smooth, molded pudding akin to a crème brulee but made lighter, with gelatin rather than egg yokes. Perfect, too, was the tortino ($7): two small cupcake-sized, moist, dark chocolate cakes served with fresh, homemade whipped cream.

Toby Keith's Virginia Restaurant Involved in Gun Controversy
Toby Keith has never seemed to mind stirring up controversy in his music, but now it's one of his I Love This Bar & Grill restaurants that is creating a stir.
The singer opened the latest in his restaurant chain in Woodbridge, Va., a state that allows residents to openly carry guns. So when customers were greeted at the front door of the eatery with a sign that said "No Guns Permitted," it angered several potential patrons enough that they vowed to never eat at the establishment.
The policy touched off a huge debate on the restaurant's Facebook page, with many saying they would never spend their money at the establishment because of the policy.
"That sign on the door means that I will never try your restaurant," one disgruntled person wrote. "It is a cultural thing among we Americans … It is the fact that you seek to restrict a Constitutional Right that bothers the public. This is what will cost you."
Still, not everyone disagreed with the restaurant's ban on weapons.
"I think it's a great idea," Jayne Marconi, a traveler from Ohio told the local Fox 5 news station. "Anywhere there's an establishment that serves alcohol, I'm going to tell you right now, alcohol can make you do funny things. So that absolutely makes me feel more comfortable."
Management responded via a post to Facebook:
Keith has two more I Love This Bar & Grill restaurants opening in the near future, in Oxnard, Calif. and Houston, Texas, bringing his total to 17 restaurants.

05 January 2009
And while the Avs do need a lot of work in the offseason, remember this is a team that isn't that far removed from making the second round last season. I think there are little things that can be done that could ensure a successful season (think playoffs) without creating havoc on the Avs roster or salary cap.
#1 Replace Darcy Tucker with Brenden Shanahan.
I hate using the term "lack-of-effort". I think a lot of times it's a lazy way of describing a team that is doing things wrong when we can't pinpoint what that is. Like if the Avs just tried harder they would be winning more games.
But Darcy Tucker has shown a bona fide "lack of effort" in a lot of games this season. He takes stupid penalties and doesn't offer anything on the defensive end, and offers very little on the offensive end. He just looks disinterested.
The Avs are currently 26th in the league in scoring (Up-Tempo offense FOR THE WIN!!!111!1). If there's two things that Brenden Shanahan does well they are: give effort effort and finish. He's old and a little washed up, but he's perfect for our third line. He also costs the Avs no draft picks to acquire and it would be hard to argue that he wouldn't help this team out (it couldn't hurt). The Avs also have shown little in forward depth this season (although Stewert has been a welcome surprise).
#2 get a reasonable 3rd line center in a trade.
There are some centers that could be had for the right price. I don't think the Avs should overreact and go and try and trade their core for Spezza or someone. But the Avs could make a reasonable pitch for a guy like Antoine Vermette of Ottawa or Doug Weight. Edmonton has a boatload of young centers, and they might want to swap for a winger.
Another guy to look at is Jordan Staal of Pittsburgh. He's rumored to be on the block because of his upcoming expected salary. The Avs would be well served to float TJ Hensick and a 2nd rounder Pittsburgh's way in exchange for the very good young Centerman.
# 3 - Time for Granato to go
Man I absolutely hate calling for a coaches head so quickly. I think it takes a full season to usually evaluate a coach and his staff. But there are exceptions to every rule, and this is an exception. I hinted at this above, but the Avs were supposed to enter a new era with an up-tempo offense that would take advantage of the Avs skill players and become a high octane attack.
But that hasn't happened. In fact the Avs offense has regressed from last season to this one. The Avs are 26th in the league in offense this season averaging 2.49 points per game. That's a .24 drop from last season, when the Avs were saddled with a defensive minded coach. Last year Avs fans, justifiably, whined about Joel Quenneville's "3 forwards behind the goal-line" offense. But at least there was a system in place last year. This season there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the Avs attack. The "missing Sakic and Stastny" excuse doesn't work because it didn't last season.
Are we a dump and chase team? An offensive rush team? A plant a guy behind the net and distribute team? Shoot from the point and use big bodies to bang away rebounds? We're 40 games into the season and I don't think anyone could give a definitive answer to that.
The good news is that there's actually a pretty healthy supply of coaching candidates that could fill in, even if just in the interim. Pat Burns will be wrapping up a successful run in the World Juniors this week, and two of the candidates that I thought the Avs should have interviewed in this last offseason; Kevin Dineen [Portland Pirates] and DU coach George Gwozdecky (if you could pry them away from their current teams midseason.) There are even some coaching re-treads that I wouldn't be opposed to. Tortorella is one name thrown around, but I'd be happier with the recently deposed former Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette. If all else fails we could bring in Bob Hartly and take one more step in the Avs palindrome circle of coaching.
... ...
The problem with all three above scenarios is that it involves Avs management, and specifically Francois Giguere, admitting he made multiple mistakes this last offseason. The Avs have been traditionally stubborn to even let people think, for one second, that this organization makes mistakes. But they really can't hide from it anymore. The difference between bad management and good management isn't the number of mistakes one commits, but how well they admit and correct the mistakes they do make. FG mad mistakes this offseason, but has a chance right now to partially correct them.
... ...
FYI: I am going to hurt myself patting myself on the back here, but the four things I said the Avs needed to address this off-season was:
1. 3rd line center
2. Backup goalie
3. Coach
4. Winger
And gave my selections for whom I wanted for each position.
1. Brenden Morrison: 8G, 6A, 47.7% FO %
Michael Peca : 3G, 6A, 50.5% FO%
Sergei Federov: 4G, 8A 56.5% FO%
Tyler Arnason: 2G, 8A, 47.3%
2. Backup Goalie
I'm not looking up stats. I know Valiquette, Holqvist and Thibault have been better than Raycroft.
3. Coach
How's that McLellan guy doing in San Jose, I thought we should interview? and How's DeBoer doing in Florida...
Oh Florida's overachieving, and San Jose is arguably the best team in the league.
4. Wingers
Hagman: 11G, 11A for Toronto
Huselius: 12G, 13A for Columbus
Sillman: 8G, 8A for Florida
Vrbata: washed out of the league
Darcy Tucker: 5G, 4A, 50 unnecessary momentum killing penalties.
Last season the Avs listened to me and the Avs made the second round of the playoffs. This season they didn't and they are struggling. There's a lesson here.
Update someone needs to fire the editor. The typos in this post were awful.

Discover Just how Clock Components Bring Customization to Your Wrist watches
The do-it-yourselfer uses clock parts to bring an individual touch to the timepiece he develops. Parts for any kind of clock are easy to obtain via today's considerable Web marketplace. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to undertake this hobby (or vocation), but we intend to provide herein some standards for finding fulfillment and also success.
Obtaining clock parts involves planning exactly what you need and identifying a supplier. Part of this initiative is knowing all the options available to you as well as making sure that the different components match up with each other. We will alert you to subtle points worth remembering as we go along.
We don't discuss clock cases or frames, as the reader is apt already to have something in mind, whether it is a retrofitted case or something constructed from scratch. We likewise presume that the visitor is reasonably qualified with his hands, though there is certainly nothing complicated or technical about this work.
The only tools you should need are an adjustable wrench, pliers, and possibly a drill. However, if you are mounting an insert into a homemade frame you may require a hole saw or something similar.
This article is in no chance extensive; nevertheless, it must prove to be at the very least a great establishing on the course to pleasurable assembly. It does cover the broad choice of parts one could find including some the reader might not heretofore understand existed. If concerns arise, there is a plentiful supply of how-to videos at YouTube and other online source sites.
One of the most vital part is the clock motion, additionally understood as the clock electric motor. This is where the quartz crystal resides as well as all the systems for maintaining track of elapsed time and also for relocating the hands. The activity shaft has a twin purpose of providing (1) a means to mount the motor to the case and (2) a place to attach the hands.
See to it that the shaft is long sufficient for the threaded part to stick out past the placing hole in the center of the dial (from back to front) in between 1/16" as well as 1/8". A much shorter shaft merely will not work, though a longer one can be shimmed back with washers. A hex nut secures the shaft to the face of the clock.
Also ensure that the activity and the clock hands work with each other. Requirement motors do not furnish sufficient twist to move hands that are more than six or seven inches long. In other words, for big clocks order a high-torque movement.
Second hands are usually optional, though many people want to see the finer temporal resolution they supply. If you are among those individuals, ask yourself whether you want to hear ticking or would prefer to go with a continuous sweep second hand. Clock movements often come with either option.
Decide beforehand whether or not your clock should appear a chime every hr, potentially complied with by an hour count. You are apt to have chiming pattern alternatives, consisting of Whittington as well as Westminster patterns, and potentially a system for recording your very own sound pattern.
This is a fantastic means to bring personalization and/or uniqueness to your clock. Speech, songs, as well as some arbitrary sound are all possibilities, with the only limit being a maximum duration of about ten seconds. You'll desire a way to adjust the volume as well.
Bear in mind, however, that per hour clock chimes can start to wear on the nerves. Therefore, if the movements you acquire assistance chimes, make sure they also have a disabling mechanism. You don't want to have to do without the feature altogether, so look for a night strike shutoff that permits the chime to sound throughout the day but not between, state, 11 p.m. and 7 in the morning.
To obtain even further afield of traditional clocks, consider some of the truly exotic clock motors that are available. These either extend ordinary timekeeping or provide a totally different tracking mechanism.
In the extension category there are movements that furnish the day of the week or even the date in a 31-day month. You need an additional hand in each case and special dials to accommodate the additional mode. Similarly, you can get a movement that will track the tide as well as the time, though this function borders on something different.
Nonetheless, thermometer movements are entirely different. They require special dials and also hands, and everything has to be calibrated with everything else to work properly. In some cases you can get the temperature and time to show on the same display, but these are apt to be digital instead of analog.
Whenever purchasing clock parts, take care to ensure that the hands as well as movement shafts match. There is no universal standard that applies; American and European requirements tend to differ from each other. The American eye shaft specification is typically considered more protected.
An alternate way to go is by purchasing a clock kit. This relies on another person's style but provides you the pleasure of setting up the package from parts with the potential for individualizing certain facets. You could also buy a completely assembled clock without a case as well as insert it right into your personalized designed real estate.
There are lots of ways to add personalization to your timepieces, limited only by your imagination. We have viewed exactly how creative methods open up when you start with barebones clock parts.

In its second weekend at the box office, the Disney animated tale "Frozen" cooled off "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and the lone new release "Out of the Furnace."
According to studio estimates Sunday, "Frozen" led the multiplexes with a haul of $31.6 million over the weekend, taking over the top spot from "Catching Fire." Lionsgate's "Hunger Games" sequel had topped the box office for the last two weeks, but slid to second with $27 million in its third week of release.
Relativity Media's steel-town drama "Out of the Furnace," starring Christian Bale and Casey Affleck, posed no challenge for the bigger blockbuster holdovers. It opened with $5.3 million, good enough for third place on the typically quiet early December weekend.

Ya wanta know why the usually implaccable Japs are in a total panic, the answer is pluthermal MOX. This stuff will eventually spew all over Tokyo making Chernobyl look like a village tea party. I can't promise what winds will blow where and when but for some tme now plutonium has been mixed in nuclear power plants which is fine until...... this is what happens when the ecoloonies make more noise than toxicologists and engineers.
I am a toxicologist by training but these days just google what happens when one molecule of Pt gets into the lung. Cesium dirty bombs are childs play these guys just invented the ultimate dirty bomb courtesy of the green crowd. I have been watching this for days and not a word...... but trust me the Japan govt knows but the public does not. If the right winds and screw ups continue and its back to the days of the Samurai. The official word is stay indoors and wash it off with soap and water - yeah right. God, I hope I am wrong.

DOORS OPEN: 7:00 pm
EVENT BEGINS: 7:30 pm
221 NW 10th
Portland, Oregon 97209
The Jimmy Greene Quartet
featuring George Colligan, Chris Higgins, and Matt Jorgenson
presented by PDX Jazz @ Jimmy Mak's
Monday, July 15th, showtime at 7:30pm
While in high school, Jimmy Greene had the good fortune of learning first hand from one of the all time greats, Jackie McLean. Greene adapted much of McLean's advanced alto technique to the tenor. Of course, there's some Coltrane and Rollins to be found in his sound, too, but the end result is a style that's mainstream bop, albeit in his own way. Greene is also an accomplished composer, drawing on experience and collaborations with Horace Silver, Tom Harrell, Avishai Cohen, and Freddie Hubbard.
He is joined tonight by a collection of Portland's top jazz musicians for a show that will benefit the "My Sandy Hook Family Fund", to directly support the families of the 26 who were killed at Sandy Hook School on December 14th, 2012. Jimmy's daughter, Ana, was one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.

ACLU files complaint over Whole Foods Spanish flap
A civil rights group has filed complaints against Whole Foods Market with a New Mexico agency for allegedly discriminating against Spanish-speaking employees at an Albuquerque store.
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico said Tuesday that it filed the complaints with the New Mexico Human Rights Bureau on behalf of employees Bryan Baldizan and Lupe Gonzalez.
The employees said last month a Whole Foods store suspended them for a day for complaining about a company policy they say prevented them from speaking Spanish while on the job. News of the policy sparked outrage from Latino groups nationally and the Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market Inc. later revised its employee language rules.
Both employees say they are still prevented from speaking Spanish.
A Whole Foods spokeswoman did not immediately return a phone message and email from The Associated Press.

A hop, skip and a jump outside Rome's centre, with unparalleled views over the city, the Rome Cavalieri is where in-the-know holidaymakers looking for something grand and luxurious ensconce themselves on their city stopovers.
Bedding down: Regular rooms are either 'Deluxe', which feature huge beds, individual terraces, state-of-the-art TVs and Crabtree & Evelyn goodies in the bathrooms, or 'Imperial', with all the above, plus a few nice extras like dedicated check-in and free access to a drinks and snacks lounge, plus the spa and fitness areas. There is also a range of impressive sounding suites, although our lack of black Amex means we're unlikely to see the inside of any of these in this lifetime.
Feed me: Widely acknowledged as Rome, if not Italy's best restaurant, the top-floor La Pergola restaurant, with its three Michelin stars, is a destination in its own right. Like the suites on the floor below it, however, we're still saving up for that treat. In the meantime, there's also the poolside eatery, L'Uliveto, or take a five-minute walk down the road and you'll also discover the cheap and cheerful, but brilliant, family run Vespri Siciliani (Piazzale delle Medaglie d'Oro 22).
Easily bored: You're in Rome and you're bored? Sorry, not sure we can help you.

An initiative to help providers easily enroll to receive electronic funds transfer and electronic remittance advice from insurers got off to a slow start but has gained momentum in recent months.
Healthcare industry stakeholder advocacy group CAQH launched the program in early 2013, offering a free online enrollment hub to enable providers to register to get the transactions from participating payers, who support the program via an annual fee. Aetna and Cigna were the original participating insurers during 2013.

Qube Xi 4K IMB Spurred by Demand for Boothless Designs
Published on Thu, 2011-06-30 00:00
A Smart New Alternative for Digital Screens from Qube Cinema
Qube Cinema has seen significant interest in the new Qube Xi 4K Integrated Media Block. Along with true 4K capabilities, the Qube IMB allows for innovative new theatre layouts, including boothless projection designs.
Escape Cinemas recently launched a luxurious new 8-screen booth-less multiplex in Chennai, India and placed an order for the Qube Xi IMB to upgrade their screens to 4K. Numerous chains planning new construction or renovations have also committed to boothless designs thanks to to the flexibility and space efficiencies this offers.
"Escape Cinemas promises a premiere experience to its customers and our philosophy has always been to spare no expense in making sure they get that," said Kiran Reddy, managing director at Escape Cinemas. "The Qube Xi Integrated Media Block excites us greatly because of its support for 4K and high frame-rate 3D. All of our screens will shortly be upgraded to 4K and we will adopt high frame-rate 3D as soon as that is available."
Growth in Europe
Qube technologies continues to garner interest in European markets, with Qube Cinema and Arts Alliance Media recently agreeing to work as partners in the UK and Ireland. Qube also expects to conclude its verbal agreement to be included as a server supplier within days.
Rich Phillips, VP of engineering for AAM said: "We have been following Qube's progress closely and testing their technology for some time. Qube is an industry innovator and we are excited about their next generation technologies and the benefits that they can bring to our clients."
Qube Xi 4K IMB
The new Qube Xi 4K will work with any digital projection system that supports an Integrated Media Block. Rather than using a PCI Express extension cable, the Qube Xi 4K is Ethernet-based, ensuring that there are no limitations of distance between the projector and the server, as well as eliminating any potential shielding problems.
"The Qube Xi 4K opens up a whole new world of possibilities for theater design," said Nigel Dennis, director of sales and marketing for Qube Cinema in Europe. Attractive, space-saving boothless projection is now a practical possibility, as is the option of using secure centralized storage locations."
The Qube Xi 4K IMB support HD, 2K, 4K and stereoscopic 3D content in a wide variety of DCI-compliant formats.
Qube at CineEurope
Visitors to CineEurope can see the new Qube Xi 4K IMB, as well as the Qube XP-D Series 2 digital cinema server, at the Qube Cinema, booth #400, June 28-30 at the RAI convention center in Amsterdam.

Liste des 10 épisodes les mieux notés de la série Being Erica parmis les 41 répertoriés sur notre site, ordre basé sur la moyenne des notes IMDB et TMDB
"Being Erica" Papa Can You Hear Me?Saison 2, Episode 10
hings around Erica are not going well. Sam, who is still staying with Erica and Ethan, has just been served divorce papers by Josh, who wants to take her for everything. And Erica loses two important people in her life. First, Brent no longer wants to associate with her as he sees them as being on opposite sides of a Cold War. And second, Kai no longer wants to see her after her admission to him that she has feelings for him. Not wanting to fall into what he sees as the bad life he lived in 2019, Kai quits his job at Goblins without telling Erica in hopes that she can go on with her happy life with Ethan. Erica, in her regular therapy session, wants specifically to deal with the issue of Kai, which Dr. Tom refuses, he stating that her therapy is about her and not Kai. After a fight, Erica walks out of her session. Their fight reminded Dr. Tom of his own strained relationship with his street-wise daughter, Sarah, whose whereabouts he now does not know. To help him understand what is happening between himself and Erica, Dr. Tom is sent back by Dr. Naadiah to his last meeting with Sarah. This trip back may fundamentally change Dr. Tom's relationship with Erica, and by association Kai.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" The Secret of NowSaison 1, Episode 4
rica feels likes it's going to be a good day. She is basking in the aftermath of her first kiss with Ethan, with who she sees a potentially happy future despite their long friendship and him still being married to Claire. And she's starting her new job - albeit in an extremely junior position - as an editorial assistant at River Rock Publishing. Her day quickly goes downhill when she meets her new boss, Julianne Giacomelli, a young, controlling, confrontational, passive-aggressive bully of a person, who seems to relish in embarrassing Erica. To Erica, Julianne is a younger, female version of her first year university creative writing professor, Antonin Lozar. Because of the emotional scars from that class, Erica has never done any creative writing since. Dr. Tom sends her back to Professor Lozar's class to defend what she considers a true indication of who she is as a person, her poem entitled "Snowflakes". Will her new experience with Professor Lozar prepare her to handle Julianne?Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" Yes We CanSaison 2, Episode 5
rica's life seems to be bound by rules and conventions, rather than acting on what may be deep in her heart. Ethan has just moved in, yet he feels threatened by Erica's relationship with Kai. Erica, with Ethan in tow, needs to do some research for her sex book at a bona fide sex club, where many social rules are broken. To allow her to feel what life is like without these conventions, Dr. Tom gives her the entire day again, this time how she wants it to play out. The only thing that will exist on her day after the fact is her memory of it. So she lets loose, and spends much of the day with the only person who can really appreciate it, Kai. Erica learns that even though nothing during her day is real, it feels like it's real - the good and the bad - and that she'll know what others truly believe and think after the day is over.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" Til DeathSaison 1, Episode 6
n the lead up to Sam and Josh's wedding, Erica and Ryan, Josh's best man, have been dating, publicly announcing the fact, making Erica uncomfortable. The fact that Ethan and Claire may have reconciled isn't helping either. But topping Erica's uncomfortable list in the relationship department is Sam and Josh themselves, their relationship which she just does not understand. She can't help but feel that they are making a big mistake in getting married. She feels even worse when Sam herself expresses the same doubts just before the ceremony. With Dr. Tom, Erica dictates to him where she wants to go: August 13, 2003, the day that Sam and Josh broke up for the one and only time during their relationship. Then, Erica convinced Josh to reconcile. This time, she will do no such thing. Dr. Tom obliges Erica's wish. Back at that break up, Erica directly learns from Josh not only the nature of Sam and Josh's relationship, but what is truly in his heart and why he has always acted with animosity toward her. Erica has to decide what to do with this information. If she doesn't tell Sam, Sam could be making the biggest mistake in her life marrying Josh. If she does tell Sam, it could ruin her relationship with her sister.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" Such a Perfect DaySaison 1, Episode 7
rica is facing a lot of stress in her life. Sam is no longer talking to her and never wants to see her again. Marcus Stahl wants to renege on the book deal of writing his memoirs since he can't visit that dark place in his past. Because she feels her sessions with Dr. Tom have so far made her life worse than better, she wants to quit. However, Dr. Tom offers her a gift because of her stress: he will send her back to any day she wants where she was the cause of the day being perfect. She chooses a time as a teenager, taking a day trip to Toronto Island with Leo and Sam, to get away from their arguing parents who looked to be on the verge of divorce. One importance of this day is that, as Erica states, it is the last big 'hurrah' between the three of them before Leo died. She vows not to change a thing about that day. However, her thirty-two year old sensibilities may factor into what she now decides to do. And any small change to the day may alter how perfect it was in her memory.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" Bear BreastsSaison 3, Episode 6
rica realizes that she has feelings for Adam, but won't do anything about it since she believes they are like oil and water. As such, Dr. Tom tells her to spend her day doing what her impulses or "id" tell her to do, without her conscious or "superego" censoring those decisions. This day happens to be the day of the Pride Parade when her old friend Cassidy is coming back to town. Spending the day with homosexuals, Cassidy in particular, may help Erica in this task as she has seen how Cassidy, as a homosexual woman, has taken those risks and acted on her impulses. But what will Erica do when confronted with the issue of Adam. Meanwhile, three other couples take their friendships/relationships to a new plateau, namely Julianne and Ivan, Barb and Gary, and Sam and Lenin. With the latter, Sam, on her first date with Lenin, is uncomfortable with their professional disparities, and has to figure out what to do about it.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" The Importance of Being EricaSaison 2, Episode 12
rica is feeling conflicted about her decision to start her own publishing company with her fellow fired River Rocker Julianne, their first planned book being Seth Newman's manuscript about escaping from a cult within which his family still lives. Although the business was Erica's idea, Julianne is equally as excited about the prospect. Ethan, however, wants Erica to be more cautious in whatever her next career pursuit. Dr. Tom gives Erica a test to follow her gut feeling. As Erica is unable to complete this test, Dr. Tom sends Erica back to graduate school, when Erica mistakenly sent a nasty email to her brilliant but difficult thesis adviser, Dr. Audrey Hogan, the department head. Erica vows not to send the email the second time around. Regardless of the email, Erica feels that Dr. Hogan hates her. But Erica comes to understand what she is supposed to learn on this visit back. With this new found knowledge, Erica tries to assist Kai, who thinks that he will soon be sent back to resume his real life. But she also makes a decision to change a fundamental aspect of her own current life, and walks through a door to an unknown future.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" Everything She WantsSaison 1, Episode 9
rica is emotionally confused. On their three month anniversary, Ryan tells her that he loves her, a place where she is not yet at. And she still seems to have unresolved feelings for Ethan, despite he who is trying to reconcile with his wife, Claire. Ryan can sense something still lingering between Ethan and Erica. To resolve her current conundrum, Dr. Tom sends Erica back to a previous relationship with Cassidy Holland, one that ended just before Y2K. Erica emphatically states that Cassidy is the most amazing woman she has ever met, and a person on whom she had a crush. Although Cassidy was openly gay, Erica states her feelings were not in a romantic way despite she knowing that Cassidy wanted something more between them. This time around, Erica wants to ensure that Cassidy knows that she is straight so that they can deal with the issue head on and thus maintain their friendship. But this revisit to her past makes her truly confront her feelings for Cassidy, and how that may impact not only her friendship with Cassidy but also her current situation with both Ryan and Ethan.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" LeoSaison 1, Episode 13
rica's life is finally going great, both personally and professionally. But the fact that December 13th is approaching is weighing heavily on her mind, that date being the anniversary of Leo's death, which is still her biggest regret in life. Leo died at the age of 21 in a barn fire at her grandmother's farm, the fire that appears to be an accident of Leo's own doing. The farm is now the unofficial grave site where the family visits only once a year to mourn. Erica wants things to change, to make Leo's memory more of a happy thought than a somber one. Her idea is to rebuild the barn as both a cathartic exercise and a standing memorial to Leo. This task ends up being difficult for Barb, who cannot let go of how she grieves for her son. Before sending Erica back to that time to allow her to say goodbye to her brother, Dr. Tom stresses to her that her therapy does not allow her to play God to bring back the dead, and that there are dire consequences if she tries to do so. Once back, Erica finds that knowing her brother is going to die and not doing anything about it is more difficult than she could have ever imagined. Erica learns the hard way that there are extreme consequences in every aspect of her life to her decision to try and save Leo.Voir la page Voir en ligne
"Being Erica" Erica, InterruptedSaison 3, Episode 12
rica's life seems to be back on track. 50/50 Publishing's future seems bright. Brent wants to extend a permanent olive branch to Julianne - and by association Erica - due in part to their now closer working relationship. Julianne is still somewhat suspicious as Brent will not tell her why he originally stabbed her in the back. Back with Erica, she is in a budding relationship with Adam. And all of her family - Barb, Gary and Sam - are also in happy places in their lives. But Erica's life takes an unexpected turn when, after waking up after her first ever lovemaking session with Adam, she finds that she is back in the hospital during the time when she first met Dr. Tom. Populated by familiar faces in different positions, such as Julianne as a nurse, Dave as an orderly and Dr. Tom as Dr. Wexler who is her physician and not her therapist, Erica's new reality is that she has just awaken from a two week coma from her nut-allergy induced anaphylactic shock. The implication is that her therapy with Dr. Tom has been a dream. As Erica tries to cope with what she sees as this setback, she receives a visitor from her past who tries to make her understand what's going on. Regardless of if what she is experiencing is indeed her reality, Erica has to come to the understanding that she still has the lessons learned from therapy - imagined or real - to start the process of bettering her life all over again.Voir la page Voir en ligne

The real question in my mind is whether that The reason that to do it completely means knowing the length comes from case and union afaics. Both of these need to do something consistent with the lengths. case when <blah> then 'f'::char(2) || 'g'::char(2) else 'f'::char(3) || 'g'::char(3) end should return a consistent length char no matter which branch is taken on any given row. This was the basic complaint with numeric in the -sql thread, we return the "correct" actual numeric values with proper seeming precision and scale, but if you then case two of these that gave different precision and scale, you'd get inconsistent scale in the case output. > Food for thought: in 7.4, > > regression=# select ('X '::char) = ('X'::char); > ?column? > ---------- > t > (1 row) > > regression=# select ('Y '::char) = ('Y'::char); > ?column? > ---------- > t > (1 row) > > regression=# select ('X '::char || 'Y '::char) = ('X'::char || 'Y'::char); > ?column? > ---------- > t > (1 row) > > If we change || as is proposed in this thread, then the last case would > yield 'false', because the first concatenation would yield 'X Y ' > which is not equal to 'XY' no matter what you think about trailing > spaces.

I'm not sure if the spec lets you, but a NO PAD default character set probably would have made this simpler, by not requiring that 'Y'::char(4) is equal to 'Y'::char(2), but it's really too late to change that now in any case.

Re: [physical_therapists_in_business] Femur injury, PT how to choose one?!
Expand Messages
- Start with the American Physical Therapy Association Website at www.apta.org There you can look up specialists in orthopedics, they would be best suited to help you. Your surgeon should also be able to recommend at least one PT clinic that they trust in your area, if not more. It is difficult to chose a facility as there are so many in most areas. Friends, family and MD references are the best way to find the best. The evaluate and treat is very common and usually means that the MD has confidence in PTs to know what to do with you after they evaluate you. If you don't feel comfortable with your PT, go somewhere else. Let them explain themselves to you and educate you on what is ahead of you. If they don't explain things, find someone who does. Good Luck!Are you from Jersey?Don PT, OCS----- Original Message -----From: windwarriornjSent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 6:17 PMSubject: [physical_therapists_in_business] Femur injury, PT how to choose one?!Hello,
There are dozens of PT's and Pt groups in the immediate area. How is
a client (me) supposed to figure out if any of the PT's are better
suited to help evaluate our injury than any other? It is a
meaningful business question.
Calling them, all say the same blathering GARBAGE "... of course we
can help evaluate that...." but none of them mention any type of
specialty or method they would use to treat same...
The injury appears to be weakness and scar tissue buildup.. that's
inhibiting usage and my range of motion, to a meaningful degree. The
Surgeon's script reads simply evaluate & strengthen.. in short
appears simple, very boring stuff.
I had a dual femur fracture which was repaired with a rod & two pins
nearly two years ago very high up... now it hurts more than it ever
did immeidately after surgery.
This is a PT business question..
Can any members here offer suggestions how a normal peron
distinguishes the particular skills or "bent" of one group of
individual PT from another...
Or is it all random and unimportant, and it won't matter one bit to
our recovery... its an insignifigant injury anyway... <ssi>

This was sent to be my Josh at iFanboy, David Pirkola was shot during a robbery at his independant Comic shop. Below is the link where he is accpeting donations to help pay his medical bills and such, followed by the press release. Thank you.
"As reported by the Grand Rapids Press and discussed on the Bendis Board, David Pirkola, owner and operator of Apparitions Comics and Books in Grand Rapids, Michigan was robbed at his store and then shot by the robber. He is currently in stable, but critical condition at a local hospital.
We've spoken with Peter Ryan, who along with Stephen Jayner owns Capital City Collectibles in Lansing, MI and are close friends and co-owners of Apparitions Comics and Books, and he confirmed that David is in the hospital and stable, but still severely injured. As you can imagine, no matter how speedy the recovery, getting back to running his business will be challenging. Even normally, running an independent comic book store is an incredibly difficult job, and many retailers often operate with limited or no personal health insurance. Given that retailers are such an important part of our industry, we want to help out as much as possible.
So iFanboy is putting out the call to you, comics fans to help a retailer in need. We've set up a PayPal donation button below to allow you donate as much as you'd like. You can use credit cards or bank accounts, and don't need a PayPal account to donate. All money donated will be sent to David Pirkola to help with his medical bills, as well as to keep his store afloat, so if you can spare it, please donate below.
We will also be reaching out to our friends in the industry to help as well, so stay tuned for possible giveways or auctions of comics goodness, the proceeds of which will go to helping David and his recovery."

One of Roland Robert Hayes' first memories is hearing his legendary uncle Roland Hayes sing.
"The first time I heard him sing I was six-years-old," Robert Hayes said. "He was at the Calhoun High School Auditorium. That was 1942. He had a beautiful voice."
Roland Hayes was the first African American to rise to the top of classical music. He was born in Gordon County on June 3, 1887 on a plantation where his parents were once enslaved. Hayes traveled the United States and Europe, singing in seven different languages to kings and queens alike. He died in 1977 and though his legacy is still kept alive by the Roland Hayes Museum in Calhoun and surviving family members, some in the community worry that his memory is growing faint among younger generations.
To help remedy that and bring national recognition to the renowned tenor, members of the Roland Hayes Museum Committee are working to petition the U.S. Postal Service to honor Hayes on a commemorative stamp.
"We have been at this for 20-years, but now we are trying to get all of Gordon County involved," said Georgetta Frazier, chairwoman of the Roland Hayes Committee. "We're doing a petition campaign, hoping to get petitions sent here to the Harris Arts Center then mail all the petitions as a mass mailing, which will hopefully be far more impressive on the stamp advisory committee (than individual petitions)."
Frazier and the committee hope to get as many petitions as they can by June 3 (the tentative deadline) from Gordon County residents, along with friends, family, history buffs and anyone interested in the endeavor so the advisory committee will take notice.
Frazier said when they spoke to the advisory committee in the past they had never heard of Hayes.
"One of the problems is when Roland Hayes was in his prime there was not a lot of recordings," Frazier said. "And you're looking at him being gone since 1977. Not a lot of people know of him or of the racial barriers he broke down. It's hard to impress them with someone they don't know."
Frazier said it is important for the community to get involved because Hayes was an important figure in not only the history of Gordon County, but in U.S. history as well.
For Robert Hayes, Roland Hayes was more than a trendsetting singer. He was a genuinely good person who always cared for his family and community.
"He was a lot of fun," Robert Hayes said. "He always loved to talk to the children. He would always get around us and play games. No matter what we were doing, from loading hay or making cane syrup, he would be there helping too."
Hayes was an institution in classical music, a barrier breaker and a friend to those he met, Frazier said.
"Why not bring national attention to him," Frazier said.
If you would like to participate in the petition drive, pick one up at the Harris Arts Center or the chamber of commerce in downtown Calhoun or visit the website.

Hansel and Gretel-Told the right way!!
Well we can say that my stepmother and father were a little bit poor. OK! OK! We were actually middle class in fact. Can you even believe that? I can't even believe the words that are coming out of my mouth, even though they really are true! Well, here's the real story of what happened between Gretel, my stepmother, my father, and me. Hopefully, I can actually remember how this all went since I always tell my friends the wrong story. No one would really believe me anyway if I told the real story. Well Ok! Enjoy Hansel and Gretel… Told the correct way!
Well, once upon a time, Gretel and I were sitting together in bed thinking about the endless fun that we had outside that day. We had gone to collect rocks near the river and I had collected over sixty rocks in my pocket before we went to finish off the day by going swimming in the river. While we were in our beds talking about all the different animals and plants that we saw near the river that day, we overheard that our parents were going to take us into the forest and just leave us there to die. Well, I figured that they must be just joking around so I thought to myself, "No big deal. It's probably just another one of their jokes."
The next morning they gave us not one piece of bread but a whole loaf to share amongst both of us. Well, just as they said, we left the house to go do some work deep in the forest but, the problem was, I had wore the pants that I had collected rocks in. After all of that sliding around in the dirt, my jeans had worn a hole just big enough for the rocks that I had collected to slowly fall out. By the time I figured out that all the rocks that I had collected were falling out, I had only about thirty rocks left. Soon after that, we reached a clearing in the woods and we started to make a tent, not a fire like the "story" says. We slept in the large canvas tent that we put up that night. When we woke up the next morning, we saw that our parents were gone, leaving only the tent for us, but, we thought that they had just went somewhere for the day without us.
Well, after Gretel and I were in deep thought about what to do, I remembered that my pants had a hole in it and I had left a trail of rocks. I told Gretel, "Aha! I've got it! My pants had a small hole in it and the rocks that we collected together fell out which left a trail. We can try to go back to the house and wait for them there. "We went to work trying to find the rocks that I had dropped by accident on the ground. After several minutes, we could not find one trace of the rocks that I had dropped. While we thought about what could have happened to them, we walked in circles as that would help us figure out what happened to the rocks. Well, while we walked in circles, our circles became larger and larger and soon, right in front of us, we saw a beautiful house made up of gingerbread.
Since it was nearing Christmas, we figured that someone around our neighborhood had a very keen sense of what was visually appealing to people. Being very good children, both Gretel and I didn't dare try to break off any part of the house or destroy any part of it since, it was so visually intriguing. While we watched at a distance, still, with our mouths gaping wide open, we soon saw a real, talking, and life sized Gingerbread Man come out of the house. We quickly ducked behind a tree before his big peppermint eyes could supposedly hypnotize us. He went into his 100% gingerbread shed and pulled out a watering hose made of pure gingerbread. When the Gingerbread Man opened the nozzle, out came pure chocolate. We had both not eaten since yesterday and we started to get hungry. We tried to control ourselves as the temptation to jump out and start drinking the chocolate began to elevate.
After watering his garden, the Gingerbread Man took out his Gingerbread Lawnmower and he began mowing the green licorice which had just sprouted out of nowhere. As he began mowing the licorice, out of the lawnmower bag came out little puffs of flour. Now, I began to sense something was cooking with the lawnmower and the Gingerbread Man; I'm not kidding; literally!! After he had finished mowing his big licorice lawn, he opened up the lawnmower bag and he pulled out a smaller gingerbread man which was almost like the adult gingerbread man, except it wasn't alive.
Now, while all this was happening, Gretel and I had begun to start drifting out from behind the safety of the tree. As both of our heads started drifting out, the Gingerbread Man sensed the movement and immediately darted his eyes over to us. As soon as we saw that the Gingerbread Man was looking at us, we began in run in the opposite direction. As we started running, the Gingerbread Man began to say in his low, but mischievous voice, "Come and join me for some lunch my friends!" Well just that voice made us both freeze in our footsteps.
Finally we gathered our courage and convinced ourselves that it was fine to join him for a little lunch before we went back to our step mother and father. As we stepped inside his house, we were immediately knocked right out cold by the really strong smell of gingerbread and, BOOM!, we hit the floor hard. What happened after that, we didn't really know except that we were sitting in chairs in the Gingerbread Man's living room later that day. As the Gingerbread Man served us some Ginger Tea, there was a knock at the door. He immediately grabbed the gingerbread cups out of our hands and pulled us up to our feet. As he tried to stuff us into the hot oven, we both tried to fight out of his strong, hard grasp that left a trail of brown crumbs on our wrists. Suddenly, there was a booming crash from the front of the house as the gingerbread door broke into pieces. When Gretel and I looked back, we saw our father with his ax that he used for chopping wood. As the Gingerbread Man started to shove our heads into the steaming oven, our father threw his ax. As it whistled through the air, it landed right through the body of the Gingerbread man before we went into the oven anymore. He immediately dropped to the ground and flour and sugar began to spread onto the cold, hard floor as the Gingerbread Man slowly disintegrated.
As Gretel and I began to get up on our feet, the flames from the oven began to leap out and catch fire on the dry wood started nearby, which was used to heat the fireplace. The Gingerbread Man's house immediately began to go up in flames. As Gretel, my father and I darted through the front door, the flames began chasing us and we leaped out, doing a Matrix-like move! No really! We were floating and turning and when we finally reached the ground, the Gingerbread Man's house was engulfed in flames, never to be seen again.
As Gretel, my father, my step mother and I began walking home, my step mother apologized that she had ever left us by ourselves and that she would never do that again. When I asked my father how he had found me, you would never believe his answer.
No, his answer wasn't he was that he was psychic! His real answer was that: "I followed the path of rocks that Hansel had left from the rest of the rocks he had in his pocket. The rocks had continued to fall out!!!"
Everyone lived happily ever after again! Yes! Even the step mother lived to tell the story even though she doesn't want to tell "The Real Deal!" All of my family members are really very nice and very thoughtful.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the real story of Hansel and Gretel, told by me, Hansel! I think I got all the details right! I hope you enjoyed this and tell your friends the true story of Hansel and Gretel!
The End!

LETTER: Report littering to improve city
Janet R. Hart-James, Evansville
Litter hurts everyone and everything. The Evansville Litter Abuse phone number is 812-453-9876. The program has been in existence since the Jonathan Weinzapfel and Brad Hill administration. Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winencke and Police Chief Billy Bolin are also fighting litter.
There is no age limit for reporting litter abuse. Anyone with a phone or camera can help keep Evansville clean. Simply call the litter abuse hot line when you see litter. The Evansville Neighborhood Association could use the help to stop litter abuse. Not all neighborhood associations are physically able to clean it up.
The Stop Litter Abuse Program information will tell you what it wants when you call. They ask for, date and time, licenses plate number; make and model and color of vehicle and description of litter.
If a fourth of our citizens would report to the Litter Abuse Hot Line, Evansville would probably be the cleanest city in the state. Do your civic duty and call or take photos of everything you see.
Janet R. Hart-James is president of the Poplar Grove Neighborhood Association.

Should I eliminate sugar from my diet?
- Question from Liana: I often hear that sugar feeds cancer. I'm curious about your opinion on that; and as a 3-year survivor, to what extent should I entirely eliminate sugar from my diet? Or in other words to what extent should I panic or be concerned with minimal intake?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. I don't panic about eating small amounts of sugar. I, again, reserve foods that are high in sugar such as Halloween in candy or holiday desserts as very special treats. I eat small portions and truly savor them. I have absolutely no worries about sugar in foods like fruits as a natural substance. I think the larger worry is the overall dietary patterns of consuming processed foods high in sugar that are essentially empty calories and empty weight gain and thereby increasing the chance of breast cancer and breast cancer recurrence.
- Larissa Korde I absolutely agree. And just stress that if you're going to completely cut one thing out of your diet it becomes very difficult to maintain that kind of control or rigor, so allowing yourself a sweet treat every now and then I don't think should cause worry or panic.
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. This gets to what I call intentional eating: eating in a style that helps you actually decide you are nourishing yourself. Food is more than biochemistry, more than molecules, more than nutrients. Food nourishes your body but it also nourishes your soul. So, in a very intentional way, I do look at special foods, whether they be Halloween candy or a special dessert at a traditional holiday meal, and decide "Is this nourishing my soul?" And if it's worth it, I then decide "How much do I really need to eat?" Do I need to eat the whole box of cookies? No. So, I very, very deliberately eat and savor every bite. It's thoughtful selection; it's not deprivation.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Nutrition Through the Holidays featured Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. and Larissa Korde, M.D., M.P.H. answering your questions about what and how much to eat when holiday treats abound.

Madlib and Freeway collabo? Nope. The doo-rag and Philly Freezer-style beard threw me off. In the image above, you're actually looking at Jacob "Pop Life" Barrow and Deen Whitter better known as the latest aliases from the rapping members of De La Soul.
Thanks guys. I've never been able to be on the same page with anyone when it comes to your names. Dave or Dove, Plug1 / Won or Posdnuous, I end up relying on saying just "De La." But now they're calling themselves First Serve as the two minus Maseo have combined to work on new material. "Pushin' Aside, Pushin' Along" is the first single for the project but remove all the titles. It's characteristically De La Soul.
Also included under the First Serve moniker is the Goon Time mixtape which is dominantly other artists and remixes with a hint of rhymes from the boys from Strong Island. And to officially mark this as a De La joint, a new skit accompanies the project with chuckle worthy one-liners from character Mrs. Whitter: "It was all a dream? I guess you two still sleeping!"
Welcome back De La.

Four-star ATH Christopher Henderson commits to Miami
The Miami Hurricanes have received a commitment from Class of 2017 cornerback Christopher Henderson.
"I chose Miami because it's right at home and I feel like I'll fit right in," Henderson told Scout.com. "Nothing is better than dominating in your own city. I wanted to make a decision today because I know their situation at defensive back, and the coaches feel I can make an impact my freshman year."
• 10 Class of 2016 recruits who could help right away
Henderson is listed as a four-star prospect according to Scout. While at Columbus High School, he has also played wide receiver and running back.
Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Virginia Tech and Florida were also interested in Henderson.
Henderson checks in as Scout's No. 16th ranked athlete and 150th-ranked player overall for the Class of 2017.
