Pupils' hot project ticket
11:00pm Thursday 1st November 2012 in News
PENDOCK Primary School is the only school in Worcestershire to be selected for the national Solar Schools campaign.
Solar Schools helps schools to cut carbon and boost budgets.
The Friends of Pendock School are now looking to raise £9,000 for the project.
Sam White, of the group, said: "The Solar Schools project will provide us with lots of support to help us succeed.
"It uses an innovative fund-raising tool kit to help schools get money from their local communities.
"Parents, businesses and alumni can sponsor sections of the school's virtual solar roof online, which then becomes a reality once the necessary cash is raised.
"Once we have raised enough to fund the installation, Pendock School will be able to generate its own energy and sell some back to the national grid for years to come."
The school hopes to complete the project by spring 2013.
To find out more, visit solarschools.org.uk/pendo ck and 1010uk.org.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Dears Typophilers,
I'm new in the typography design.
I did an arabic font with Fontographer 5 but I didn't finish because I need some help.
I need to know how I can create Open type standard ligatures feature with Fontographer 5, font lab or Volt.
or I need to know how I can create ligatures feature.. when I type some letters together the glyph replaces.. for example AL-JALALAH WORD (ALLAH), in some fonts if you type LAM LAM HAA it will have specific shape.
any tutorials, lessons or hints will be very helpful.
You have to create glyphs in fontlab and insert the Open Type tables (Unicode values, characters substitutions, ligatures, marks positioning etc.) through MS Volt. Fontlab is unable to handle all Arabic lookups. Microsoft has also provided a sample Arabic Naskh font (named as Arabic Typesetting font) with Volt project file. It contains almost all the required features and lookups needed for an Arabic font. If you open this font in Volt and look through this font features and lookups you can learn how to use ligatures.
Here is the sequence
1- create glyphs in Fontlab and generate a font file.
2-open the font in Volt and insert OT features and lookups (or use the Import Project command if you already have a saved Volt project file to use it with this font file).
3-use Ship Font command in Volt to create the final font containing Open Type tables.
Note: Be careful, before shipping font always use the Export Project command to save the volt project as a separate file or you will lose all your volt work. Later you can use the Import Project command to open your work with any font file in Volt.
Along with Typophile forum you will also get a great help from Volt forum
I mostly follow the same steps outlined by brother Zuhair.
You will first need to add "Arabic"language in VOLT (first pane towards left).
Then add "rlig" features under Default item.
Next, add substitution lookup namely RLIG for "Allah" ligature (middle pane).
Open the lookup by double clicking it.
Set "Process Marks" to NONE and choose RTL where it says LTR (far right)
Then drag that lookup on the corresponding feature.
Save, Compile, Export Project and Ship font (don't forget to save the font with different name eg. don't overwrite your original TTF or OTF file).
Best of luck.

Thank you for your support of tax relief for New York property owners ("Try a better tax solution," Sept. 8).
I just opened our latest school tax bill, and it is just under $8,000. That's almost 2 percent of my home's value, which means that, in addition to a mortgage and many other property taxes (county, fire, town, etc), every 50 years I have to pay the full price of my home again to the school district. My school tax bill is now approaching 20 percent of my annual net income.
This is clearly unsustainable. We need to fix this problem now before it is too late. The tax cap enacted in 2011 is not a solution. My school tax bill alone has increased more than 15 percent since the cap went into place two years ago.

Starting Tuesday 02/16, the Blues Olympians begin the Ultimate Road Trip. Team USA has a tough road ahead of them if they want to medal, and the Czech team is a dark horse, at best. But, as they say, there's a reason why they play the games. The official schedule for both Men's and Women's hockey is here. The television schedule is available here. There's nothing else to say, except: Go Get'em.
Here's a song that seems to fit:

We've all been fooled.
That's what I was left thinking today after the Cubs won their third series this year, second in a row against division competitors--complete with a do-or-die, rain 'em out, come from behind 5 run bottom of the fifth inning-- (to think it all began after a harmless Izturis bloop....hah).
I kept thinking: How can this team be 12 and 14? Well, besides the fact that we're 0 for 6 in 1 run games. I mean this team is dominant. How can we be 5 1/2 behind the Brewers? The Brewers? How can The Brewers have the best record in baseball right now? Who called that?
See, what I'm thinking is this team is really a stellar team that's been posing as a bunch of losers. That's why Lou hasn't flipped yet. He knows that there have been alot of tough bounces and hard knocks and that this team will produce. He's just been patiently waiting. Lou? Patient?. Hell, we're outscoring all our opponents. And outpitching them, most of the time.
Offense-great. Lee-monstrous (the homers are coming). Soriano - turning it on, big time. (please stop with the careless base running). A - Ram-solid. Theriot-exactly what we've always needed, and playing like a vet. JJ-solid (.278 with men in scoring position, could be better). Floyd-Dangerous (with the bat, that is). Barret, Derosa - (will come on stronger). Pie-Wild Card. Is a team batting average with men in scoring position of .282 that bad? (I agree, it should definitely be better). It doesn't have to be Yankees better, but better nonetheless.
Starting pitching--solid, could be dominant (Lily-A, Marquis-A, Hill-B+, Z-will pull it up from a C, you know it. Bull Pen - solid, (sans the ghost of Scott Eyre). Defense - not bad (except Izturis). Defensively, this is not Dusty's team.
In fact, that's what we need to remember, this is not Dusty's team. This is not the Cubs of the last two (or 5, or 10, or 100 years). This is Lou's team, and what question marks will exist this season (too many outfielders, short stop, pen, 5th starter), he will have to manage, and manage he will. You'd have to think that Lou likes this team.
I know I like this team, and I think that the last two series has told me so. This could be a dominant team. I just hope they have fun and not overthink it, b/c all the tools and pieces are there.
We need a fifth starter.
We need Eyre to come back from the dead.
We need to let Lou manage the ss situation......(and tell him to keep Pie)
Then, we might finally see what this team really is--World Champions (at least potentially).
It's ok, we were just fooled for a second there (right?.....right guys?)

"Used this card for our business Xmas cards. Hadn't used the service before and was pleasantly suprised. Great easy to use design process that was fast and yet allowed the creative flair to shine through. Very happy with the overall ease of using the design process. Once the design was submitted the delivery was exceptionally quick. The paper card was of high quality and the print quality was exceptional. Very happy overall and recieved some great feedback with how different our cards where and how much the stood out. Highly recommend this service and will be using it again."
"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."
"Everyone loved the card and said they were gorgeous! I have a few extra to use as craft projects for his scrapbooks and I love them!! Great product and will be ordering again in the future!"
"My cards are beautiful and I've gotten great compliments on them. Every one loved the vintage look to them, I was very pleased as well. I initially was disappointed when I had paid for overnight expedited delivery and I didn't receive them as I expected, but the young lady at customer service was very nice and immediately refunded my shipping cost. Luckily, although they were late arriving, I was able to send them out just on time to be received by Christmas."
"I knew this was the card when I saw it. It is very beautiful. We were very pleased when we received them in the mail. The quality is great and our picture looks great in there. The details, and design of this card is stunning. Love this card. We order card every year and will continue."

Classy Eggplant Parmigiana
Today I want to talk eggplant parmesan. This is not eggplant parm that you pick up at the next door hoagie place. It is not too dry or too greasy. It is not deep fried in a vat of day old oil. It is also not covered in any sort of fake, Kraft sliver of orange cheese. This is the elegant, panko coated, Southern Italian quality eggplant parmigiana.
Eggplant parmesan is really a vegetarian's utopia. It's like an herbivore version of a Peter Luger steak. Nothing is better than a sweet eggplant, lightly breaded and fried then smothered with cheese and sauce. The best part is definitely when you bite into the eggplant and there's still a little crunch from the crusty breading.
Ariel's First Red Sauce
1 carton of sweet cherry tomatoes (about 20)
1 large can skinned and crushed tomatoes with the juice
1 large shallot (or two small)
4 cloves garlic
sprinkle of sugar
basil and parsley
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons cream
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
I made up this recipe for red sauce. I've never made sauce before but I decided to give it a try. I used the cherry tomatoes and canned because sometimes I worry that canned tomatoes have too much of a concentrated tomato flavor and aren't sweet enough.
Dice up the shallots and garlic and saute in a pan with some olive oil. After the shallots have softened and the garlic is cook (but not burnt), add in the cherry tomatoes, tomato paste and canned tomatoes with juice, along with the sugar. Let the whole pot come to a boil, then let simmer. At this point, I poured the mixture into a food processor. You could also use an immersion blender. Pour the mixture back into the pot. After things simmered for a few more minutes, I added all the fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and the cream. Let everything come together while you're making the rest of the dish.
Eggplant Parmigiana
1 medium sized eggplant, slice into 1/2 inch thick rounds
panko bread crumbs and flour for breading
2 eggs
vegetable oil for frying
salt and pepper
fresh mozzarela
grated parmesan cheese
Slice eggplant. Dip each slice first into the flour, then into the egg, then into the panko crumbs. Heat oil and fry the slices. I fried each side for about 3 minutes- this gave me a light browned color. After the slices have been fried, let them drain on a paper towel.
To set up the whole thing, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 8 by 8 pan, brush the bottom with olive oil. Layer some sauce and then cover the sauce with eggplant slices. Atop each slice, put on a half inch piece of mozzarella cheese. Cover the whole layer with parmesan cheese. Do another layer of sauce, eggplant, cheese. With a medium sized eggplant, you should have only about two layers. Cover the rest in sauce and top with a generous heap of parmesan cheese. Put in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned on top.
So this is it; eggplant parmesan done right! I'm not going to say this was an easy one. It took a long time for everything to come together. But OH was it worth it. It was a perfect comfort food for the upcoming cold weather, while also using fresh produce. I'm not saying it's healthy, but it's better than a fried milky way right?
I just wanted to add on by saying DON'T FORGET to check out our launch party! All the info is on our Nosh and Tell Launch Party Facebook event page. All the funds raised from our raffle are being donated to Share our Strength to fight against Children's hunger. If you wish to donate (and be entered into our raffle) click here! We have tons of sweet prizes from a Le Creuset grill pan, to a gift certificate to Dean and Deluca. You won't want to miss this!
Bon eating,
One thought on "Classy Eggplant Parmigiana"
Oooohhh, this looks so good. You just reminded me about the "eggplant towers" I made last summer (breaded, baked eggplant coins layered with sauce and cheese in towers). May have to make your version this weekend.
The pics are gorgeous too!

Pool ok. Beds comfortable and good size rooms.
Very basic breakfast.
Our stay at the hotel was a really positive experience. Upon arrival the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel room itself was of substantial size and well furbished. Unlike many other hotels this hotel had an extra set of chairs and a table in the room. Comfortable bed, nice TV, good fridge and very quiet rooms. The location is very good if your planning on visiting Universal Studios. Not far from the Hollywood sign and other touristic locations in LA. They offer tickets for Universal Studios at the hotel with a discount, which is a plus. Lastly, the neighborhood of the hotel is very welcoming and offers a lot of possibilities for dining (for which the hotel offers bargains with local restaurants).
Wi-fi signal wasn't strong enough to support movie streaming via Netflix, although it is definitely good enough for emailing/browsing.
Great staff, great location , great breakfast. Emily Vargas at the reception was very helpful with all inquiries. 15 minutes bus ride to more shopping attractions at Glendale mall. Take advantage of free same day delivery to your hotel all your shopping bags from Glendale mall.
Poor wifi service.
Clean large rooms. Quiet as we had room set back from road. Nice clean pool area (though next to road, but didn't bother us) staff great. Would go back again. Only 15 mins by car to studio tours. Paramount, universal and warner bros. Close to town too.
Nothing. All good
The location was ideal, and the room was very cozy and clean.
We had a difficult time accessing wifi.
The room was quiet even thought he area is very busy. The water in the pool and spa were clean but the pool could use a good scrub down.
The breakfast room is way to small for the size of the hotel. Every morning the room full and you aren't supposed to take food out to your room so where do you sit?
Location, size of room, refrigerator, microwave, Direct TV and new TV
Noise from street.
The rooms were clean and staff was friendly.
I liked the full breakfast they provided. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nice and clean. Would stay there again. Good value for the money. Seemed to be a quiet area.
It was a bit far from the L.A. Beach area. But, considering the price and the fact that we packed everything we needed for the day and did not make extra trips back and forth made it a good place to stay.
Very good hotel, close to highway
comfort room for breakfast is very clean! Like the tidy and cozy feeling. very convenient location!
the noises at midnight from room above.
Comfortable living
Cant find anything to eat round the clock
The staff were lovely and helpful and for a budget hotel it did everything wonderfully.
Nothing, suited us perfectly and we enjoyed our stay.
Very nice staff.
I would prefer to take my breakfast to my room.
DirectTV service in the room.
We found insect (bug) on the refrigerator that's why I can't be satisfied from the cleaning service.
Lots of space. Pleasant and helpful staff. Received a discount when figured out that fitness center is actually located 1.6 miles away.
Fitness center too far (1.6 miles). Hotel description does not reflect it. There is no note in the Activities section. There is misleading note ("just over 1 mile" instead of 1.6 miles) in description section. Payment policy: if you decide that you expected something else, be sure to see the room before actual payment. Otherwise the whole sum will be charged on the arrival and no way to shorten the visit. Loud air conditioning.
Very comfortable hotel and varieties breakfast.
Pool not opened.
The staff was very helpful when we checked in.
We got lost coming back one time because we thought it was in Pasadena when really it's in another city.
The up-to-date bedding (down comfortors - NO old quilts from the 70's). Plenty of soft, comfy pillows!!! Mini Fridge AND a microwave. Air conditioner worked fine and the room was CLEAN.
The booking name "Comfort Inn Near Old Town Pasadena" was misleading. It's true it wasn't far from Old Town but it's a different city (Los Angeles vs. Pasadena). That made finding the hotel very difficult using my iPhone because it kept sening me to their other location in Pasadena. We drove in circles trying to find it. Also, the pool left very little to be desired.
Flexible and friendly staff, all of them very helpful. Location is perfect for most attractions of Los Angeles, breakfast area is although small but selection is fine. Parking is good. Heating/air conditioning good.
WiFi was weak and slow in our room.
Comfortable bed and use of a fridge was definitely a bonus!
Didnt like the fact that the only noise insulation between the room next door was a cheap flimsy door. If someone coughed we could hear it, lucky for us they were quiet neighbours!!
Outstanding Breakfast
Hard to find, took us 1 hour to get here. Address did not indicate east or west Colorado Blvd.
Breakfast could be a little better
24hr reception
At 11.45pm when we arrived the Front desk could not read the credit card that made the booking - she wanted to charge me again - as you would expect an argument occurred - we wouldn't pay twice, she didn't know what to do - when we said "wake the manager up" she found a solution
Jacuzzui was hot. room had all conveniences like microwave fridge and was quite spacious. Only 30 mins to Universal Studios. Good breakfast with eggs, yogurts and fruit. Near good cheap Mexican restaurant (1 minute walk)
Not really in Passadena. On strip of road with lots of Neon signs. But still convenient as LA is a sprawl so wherever you are you need to be prepared to travel and sit in traffic to get to many places

The researchers searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (3 October 2011) for randomised or quasi-randomised controlled trials comparing extra support for healthy breastfeeding mothers of healthy term babies with usual maternity care. Of the 67 studies assessed as eligible for inclusion, 52 studies from 21 countries contributed outcome data to the review (56,451 mother-infant pairs).
All forms of extra support analysed together showed an increase in duration of exclusive and partial breastfeeding, and reduced cessation of any breastfeeding before six. All forms of extra support together also had a positive effect on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding. Extra support by both lay and professionals had a positive impact on breastfeeding outcomes.
The authors conclude that all women should be offered support to breastfeed their babies to increase the duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding. They make the following suggestions:

APRN Prescriber Alert: Prepare for Change
Tramadol and Products Containing Tramadol Classified as Schedule IV Controlled Substance
Effective August 18, 2014
Effective August 18, 2014, tramadol and products containing tramadol will be classified as Schedule IV controlled substances in the state of Ohio pursuant to a rule adopted by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
APRNs with prescriptive authority (CTP holders) will continue to be able to prescribe tramadol and products containing tramadol, in accordance with the Formulary. However, APRNs with prescriptive authority need to be aware of the requirements specified in the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy's guidance document in preparation for the change in the drug classification. For example, because tramadol and products containing tramadol will be classified as controlled substances, APRNs prescribing these products will need to obtain a DEA number, if they do not have one already.

|COMMENTARY- Death No Protection Against Insult; Academy Slights Actor Lupe Ontiveros in Memorial Tribute
|Written by Andres Chavez
|Thursday, 28 February 2013 07:52
Lupe Ontiveros
The Academy of Motion Picture and Arts Sciences threw rotten eggs at the memory of one of Hollywood's best character atresses by failing to include Lupe Ontiveros in their memorial tribute during the Feb. 24 Oscars ceremony.
Latinos remember her best in her captivating and painfully realistic portrayal as Yolanda Saldivar in the film "Selena." Others are likely to remember her as the maid in The Goonies."
This slight by the Academy is something that Ontiveros would have understood; she would not have agreed, and would've been angry about it. She would not have been surprised. Afterall, she knew firsthand about the racist nature of Hollywood.
Despite her talent, she was often stereotyped into playing maids, a role she played more than 150 times by her own estimate. Being the fine actress she was, she always gave the role dignity. "I've made chicken salad out of chicken manure. I'm proud to represent those hands that labor in this country, I've given every maid I've portrayed soul and heart," she said.
She suffered professionally because of Hollywood's stonehearted ignorance about U.S. Latinos.
"They don't know we're very much a part of this country and that we make up every part of this country. When I go in there and speak perfect English, I don't get the part," she said.
Death doesn't stop insults, So when insult was added to injury, Latino Hollywood and online communities went on the warpath. Thousands of people went online to protest Lupe Ontivero's exclusion from the Academy's 'In Memoriam' section.
The National Hispanic Media Coalition issued an open letter Tuesday, Feb 26, to the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expressing their unhappiness that Ontiveros was not included in the telecast.
The Academy's response was, as is always the case, bureaucratic; she was not a member of the Academy and that's why she was not mentioned. Of course the Academy ignored the fact that they had denied her membership despite being sponsored by Miguel Sandoval and Edward James Olmos. This was not ignored by NHMC. In their letter they stated, "It is astonishing that an actress of Ontiveros' caliber and experience was denied membership to the Academy."
She had been a working actress for 35 years. Her other film credits include "El Norte," "As Good as It Gets" and "Chuck & Buck."
NHMC's letter continues, "As the controversy of the Academy's omission of Lupe Ontiveros in the 'Oscars in Memoriam' subsides, we ask that the Academy take a moment to pause and reflect on its commitment to the growing U.S. Latino talent."
Late on Tuesday, following the protest, the Academy issued the following statement, "Lupe Ontiveros is among the many worthy artists we were unfortunately not able to feature in the In Memoriam segment of this year's Oscar show. She is, however, [now]included in our In Memoriam gallery on Oscar.com."
According to a Los Angeles Times survey conducted last year, Latino membership in the Academy is less than 2 percent. Academy CEO Dawn Hudson has expressed a desire to increase the diversity in the organization that is 94 percent Caucasian and 77 percent male. One can wonder if we're hearing meaningless rhetoric when the Academy had a chance to admit Ontiveros but didn't.
The key to changing empty platitudes into concrete action is pressure from within and outside the Hollywood community.
One form of pressure is educating directors, producers and casting people not to think of people of color as being able to play only minorities. One privilege that Anglo actors always claim when they are cast as non- Anglos is that an actor should be able to play any role. That should work both ways.
Consider Wes Studi playing a detective in "Heat," Samuel Jackson a Jedi master in "Star Wars" or Signory Weaver playing the second officer in the Alien movies, a role originally written for a man. There is also economic and political pressure that can be applied.
While we should be angry at the slight paid Lupe Ontiveros we shouldn't stop there. By whatever means necessary, we should apply pressure to the Hollywood establishment to change their evil ways and expand the opportunities for Latinos and all those that make up the American fabric.
Ontiveros was never given the full opportunity to play the range of roles that she was capable of performing on screen and even in death she wasn't given the respect she so rightfully deserved. There are scores of talented Latino actors like Ontiveros who face the same plight and are asked to play sterotypical roles that are far removed from who we really are.
As Ontiveros said about her acting to 'make chicken salad out of chicken excrement', the right pressure should enable Latinos to make roast beef out of this latest Hollywood bull****.

RIVERSIDE —There is, truly, no pleasing everybody.
The organizers of the Riverside Sport Hall of Fame apparently found that out when they made the decision to trade Monday night for Sunday afternoon for their annual induction ceremony. It seemed like a sure crowd-pleaser – get away from a school night, and give the invited high school and college (and younger) athletes more of an opportunity to mingle with the newly-inducted Hall of Famers.
Two problems with that, it turns out: Church, and the preciousness of the normal teenager's weekend.
"I think it's a split decision right now, honestly," said Suzanne Ashley, the chairman of the Hall of Fame's board, in a phone interview.
They will convene again Sunday, May 20, for the 10th annual celebration of Riverside's best in what will essentially be an all day affair.
The inductees and their families and friends will meet at the Wall of Distinction, at 14th and Market Streets, at 11:30 a.m. for the unveiling of the plaques. Then they'll all head over to the Riverside Convention Center, where the Parade of Champions — for the young athletes — and the actual induction ceremony will take place at 2, followed by a reception and meal in the plaza outside from 4:30 to after 6.
Total time: 6 1/2 hours or so.
In the first eight editions of this event they started around 5:30 or so and were done by 9, guaranteed. Dr. Charles Kane, the founder of the Hall — who will be honored posthumously Sunday when he is inducted in the contributor category — made sure of it.
Monday nights created their own set of problems, even with the mandate to be done by 9. They were still school nights, after all, given the idea that the Hall of Fame is pretty much locked into a May induction ceremony.
Is there wiggle room on the calendar? Probably not.
"We've tried that, in terms of moving it back a week," Ashley said. "We used to have it a little later in May or early in June, and that did not work. People leave immediately when school's out for vacations, including a lot of those kids."
And, graduating seniors who have college scholarships in hand are increasingly leaving early for their new school to get acclimated, take summer courses and work out. So that mitigates against a summer ceremony, too.
Remember, only part of this production is honoring the local legends. The organizers consider the inclusion of the young athletes, and the opportunity for them to meet the Hall of Famers, just as important if not more so.
On the surface, the Sunday afternoon format would be preferable since it lends itself to more mingling. Last year — after the plaque ceremony was chased indoors by a morning rainstorm — the inductions were held in Riverside City College's Landis Auditorium and the reception in RCC's quad, in what turned out to be a very nice setting.
But, again, some find it impossible to take part.
"I totally understand that," Ashley said. "There are people who can't come in the morning because church isn't over, and in the evening a lot of people go to evening (services) and that doesn't work for them as well. We have some Sunday school teachers, and some who are just very devout."
The other factor is a different sort of sanctity, that of a kid's free time. Last year, Ashley said, she noticed that some of the young athletes—not all, maybe not even a majority, but a noticeable number — bailed as soon as they received their certificate and their medal.
There may be no perfect way around this. You think kids don't want to give up their Sundays, try scheduling it on a Saturday night and see what happens. Otherwise, weeknights are school nights, Sundays bump up against church services, and people get out of town after school ends.
The solution: Pick one time — and Ashley, who had been retired from the Hall's board for a couple of years before returning as president this year, seems to prefer the Monday night slot — and whoever can be there will be there.
Those who can't? Don't be too hard on them.

It's hard enough being a pregnant model without having them mess with you like this, amirite, ladies? This image is a complete wreck, from the tip of her blurry head to that navel-less baby bump. The shoulder stump and bizarre webbing between her right arm and torso are a nice touch, too.

Next Game
-This game is must-win.
-Well, every game is must-win, but this game is must-must-win. Müst-win.
-Jeff Carter's status should be updated later today; he's almost definitely out tonight and will hopefully be ready to play on Thursday.
-The Kings want the Sharks to win tomorrow night since they won the first game between themselves and the Stars.
-We want Columbus to beat Phoenix tomorrow, too.
-It could work out that whoever wins the 2-game series between the Kings & Sharks at the end of the season wins the division. It could also work out that whoever loses the 2-game series between the Kings & Sharks at the end of the season misses the playoffs.
-Jack Johnson might be named captain of the Blue Jackets if they trade Rick Nash. Never have a player and franchise been a more perfect match.
-I cant' wait for next week. Or I'm dreading it. One or the other.
Prediction: Kings win, 4-2. Goals by Richards, Richardson, Kopitar, and Kopitarson.

Posada El Castillo Review
When he wasn't living in his jungle hut, Edward James stayed in town (a 10-minute drive away) in a whimsical house that feels like an extension of the garden structures at Las Pozas—except that it has walls. The house, El Castillo (the Castle), is now a quirky inn run by Lenore and Avery Danziger, who produced an outstanding documentary film about James that they screen for guests. Rooms are adorned with simple wooden furnishings; the best rooms have huge Gothic windows and panoramic mountain views. You can arrange to have meals here; otherwise, there are few dining options in the area.

Celebrity OOPS! Bobbi Kristina Brown busted for drugs use — not by the police but by the media? While the tabloids regularly report the news that her celebrity parents Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown regularly put their lives in danger by using drugs that could easily cause their untimely celebrity death, no one but guidance counselors really seemed to see this one coming. The celebrity teen daughter of the star celebs seems to already be fighting addiction battles of her own. What's Hollywood coming to when kids like her can't see the very real damage hard drug uses causes to people lifestyles, careers, and family at home?
If it's not Whitney Houston herself getting into trouble, these days it's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. Now 18 and following in her mother's scary and self-destructive footsteps, she's decided to become a drug user apparently. The celebrity child of Houston and singer Bobby Brown, now divorced from one another, is still at it, according to Perez Hilton. In March, The National Enquirer released a photo of Bobbi Kristina snorting what appeared to be cocaine, which Bobby Brown initially said couldn't be true. Now Perez Hilton is saying Bobbi Kristina is in trouble for alcohol and guns, and she could be facing a six month jail sentence.
But this slide into depravity has been a long way coming, sources say. Website Truthquake.com reports an ex-boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina says she's been slipping into patterns entirely too much like her mother for months. If it's not cocaine or alcohol, it's smoking pot and popping pills. Reportedly she's also been very friendly with Montana Fishburne, the 19-year-old porn star daughter of Laurence Fishburne. The ex-boyfriend has said that Bobbi Kristina is no stranger to sex either. At just 18 years old, she's had over 30 partners, he said.
Reportedly mom isn't really helping the situation either. The ex-boyfriend supposedly says Whitney Houston protects Krissi from criticism, allows the barely legal teen to drink at home and take pills, and generally is a bad influence on the celebrity kid. According to The National Enquirer, mom Whitney Houston tried to get Krissi to move away from some bad influences, which Bobby Brown last month admitted Krissi had been exposed to. Whitney Houston took Krissi out of Atlanta and on to L.A. to star in a reality show there, but Krissi reportedly has fallen in with a similar crowd and has expressed interest in making her own porn.
And now we hear more reports of alcohol abuse and, of all things, guns. We hesitate to ask what kind of trouble Bobbi Kristina is getting into with guns, and so far there is no comment from either dad, Bobby Brown, or mom, Whitney Houston. We imagine dad is going to continue to stick up for his little girl like he did in his interview with People and mom is going to keep quiet.
It's unfortunate that celebrity kids get exposed to bad influences and put on display when they're caught, but it may be the only way to save a young person going down the wrong path. Certainly enough people have been there to advise against it. Hasn't Krissi already seen what kind of trouble her mom has landed in?

Often times we don't give the question a second thought, but a small investment upfront could save you a great deal in the long run.
When we ask guests what's the first thing they'd like to do upon checking into Bucuti the response is often take a swim in that beautiful water. When you arrive you'll see why. Before your plane even touches down in Oranjestad the crystal blue waters off Aruba's coast will start to call your name. Like most of the Caribbean, the water here is refreshing and clear, standing in sharp contrast to our white sand beaches. Part of our resort philosophy dictates that we treat all elements of nature with a level of respect, and the ocean is no exception. So before you dive in for that first cool dip let's take a moment to get to know the water.
Is the water in Aruba safe for swimmers?
As part of our ongoing commitment to creating a complete sense of wellness and instituting meaningful sustainable practices, we are currently completing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
LEED is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes and neighborhoods. Part of the certification process requires Bucuti to implement a few additional measures to ensure a healthy environment and clean air for our guests. We have already installed HEPA air purifiers and dehumidifiers in each room to provide our guests with an air quality that is safe, healthy and irritant-free. Additionally we have discontinued assigning rooms that allow smoking on the balcony. As an extension of our clean air policy we ask guests who do smoke to please do so in a designated area.
As of January 1, 2015, smoking will only be allowed in the following areas at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts.
Our primary goal is to do everything it takes to help you, our valued guest, enjoy your hard-earned beach vacation and pure relaxation from the moment you book your getaway to the moment you check-out. That being said, we also completely understand that sometimes situations arise leaving you with no other option but to cancel your trip to Bucuti due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control. To make this difficult situation easier on you we'd like to take a moment to review our cancellation policy. It is our hope that this will help to alleviate any unnecessary stress and charges.
Like many of you, we see the New Year as a time to make resolutions. So as we entered 2014 we decided there could be no better time to continue improving our commitment to guest service. As we always say, guest service cannot be approached as a one size fits all model, which is why we have committed to introducing our most recent update, eliminating the 15 percent service charge on all food and drink bills at both Elements and SandBar.
While guests enjoy that Aruba is referred to as "One Happy Island" and can be captivated with our beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and friendly people, we think it is still very important to remind our valued guests year after year that safety must always be top of mind, no matter how safe or comfortable we feel.
In comparison to many other islands in the Caribbean, Aruba is a very safe place for both locals and vacationers. We are fortunate to not see the types of violent and drug-related crime that are more prevalent in other countries in our region. While some destinations advise vacationers against journeying beyond their resort, visitors to Aruba are encouraged to explore – whether it's at Arikok National Park, which encompasses nearly 20 percent of the island, the wide variety of restaurants located around the island or our lively nightlife scene.
At Bucuti, we're proud to be eco-pioneers, and creating a sustainable, eco-friendly environment for our guests is woven throughout the fabric of our company culture. We go far beyond towel- and electricity-saving programs, and have made significant investments in eco-technologies and systems, as well as environmentally safe products to earn the title of Top 10 Green Hotels in the Caribbean and earning a Green Globe High Achievement Award.
Practicing and executing sustainable programs is one thing, but an equally important part of our mission is educating and enlightening our staff and our guests about the driving factors that spark our motivation day in and day out to keep our mission going.
Last month, I was given the opportunity to be a keynote speaker on World Tourism Day and I wanted to share some of my key points with my esteemed Bucuti guests.
U.S. Departures from Aruba's airport require an early check-in, but the benefit is that you then skip immigration and customs after arriving at your destination.
We often receive inquiries from our American guests asking why it's necessary to arrive at the airport three hours in advance, in comparison to the two hours required in the U.S. The answer is simply that our Queen Beatrix Airport provides full pre-clearance to the U.S. While this may seem like a bit of a hassle at first glance, it actually offers a great benefit to the traveler.
Aruba's only restaurant specializing in natural and organic lunch and dinner offerings
When we speak with our guests about why they choose to return to Bucuti year after year, one of the top reasons we hear is that they enjoy the serene environment we've created. Establishing a tranquil haven has been essential to our guests' satisfaction and was the driving force behind why we decided to become adults-only.
Many of our guests are seeking a healthier lifestyle and we are receiving more and more requests for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, which our chef was always skillfully willing to provide on request.

"Tonite" is about someone reaching for something, and over the years has really inspired me to step up efforts to get myself in better physical condition. On the other hand, the closing cover of "21st Century Schizoid Man" should never have been put on the album in the first place.

|UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman and the outgoing Board President, UN Ambassador Andrei Dapkiunas of Belarus, at the Executive Board's first session of 2007.
By Sabine Dolan
NEW YORK, USA, 16 January 2007 – UNICEF's Executive Board opened today its first regular session of 2007 at United Nations headquarters in New York.
The Executive Board is UNICEF's governing body, which oversees the activities of the agency and provides intergovernmental support.
The outgoing Board President, UN Ambassador Andrei Dapkiunas of Belarus, opened the session. Along with UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman, he welcomed the new Board President, Ambassador Javier Loayza Barea of Bolivia.
New President and Vice Presidents
In his address, Mr. Dapkiunas said his term had been an "uplifting and remarkable experience." Looking back at the year he spent at the head of the board, Mr. Dapkiunas concluded that "UNICEF itself is the biggest and best kept secret and hope of the United Nations, and the promise of its success."
Before Mr. Dapkiunas left the podium, Ms. Veneman presented him with the ceremonial gavel in recognition of his dedicated work at the heart of the agency.
Mr. Loayza Barea then took the chair. "In 2007, we'll have further opportunities to improve the health, education and protection of children all around the world – and work with our partners to fulfil the Millennium Development Goals," he said.

The new President proceeded with the election of the new Vice Presidents, who are chosen on a rotating basis. Those elected include Permanent Representatives to the United Nations Michael Kafando of Burkina Faso; Kyaw Tint Swe of Myanmar; Pavle Jevremovic of Serbia; and Robert Hill of Australia.
Partnerships and results
Reviewing the pasty year and looking ahead to 2007, Ms. Veneman stressed the importance of meeting UNICEF's "current needs and new realities" with the help of its partners.
"UNICEF is committed to working with others to achieve maximum results for children," said Ms. Veneman. "When we speak about results, we are speaking about improving the lives of children.
"We will continue to underscore the importance of producing concrete and measurable results in our work, guided by the Millennium Development Goals and the Millennium Declaration," she added. "Children are at the heart of theses goals."
Issues on the agenda
The Executive Board has 36 members from around the world elected for three-year terms. Board officers are elected for one-year terms. UNICEF's board, which answers to the authority of the UN Economic and Social Council, meets three times each year.
On the agenda for this three-day board session, the first meeting of 2007, are financial issues and integrated approaches to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, as well as the UNITE FOR CHILDREN UNITE AGAINST AIDS campaign and prevention and other programme matters.
All of these discussions are part of an overall effort to produce the best possible results for children. "As we begin our work this year," concluded Ms. Veneman, "let us keep their faces in our minds and in our hearts."

Rejected Absentee Ballots in Colorado
The Denver Post is reporting that thousands of mail ballots have been rejected in Colorado, including over 3,000 in Denver. Reasons for rejection included signature discrepancies, missing signatures, and no copy of an ID when one was required. Voters whose ballots were rejected will be notified and will have eight days to respond and verify their ballot. Several county officials said they anticipated numerous rejections for signature issues and that such issues were resolved in the allowed time during previous elections. There were 8,003 absentee ballots rejected in 2008 according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

This McDee's was the best outside and in. With the double Arches one of the older looks to the mouth watering food inside. Best quick food around.
Stopped here on our way back to Michigan. The place was built to look like an old style one and was really cool looking. Wish we could have went in as we saw old gas pumps on the inside too.
MD just keeps on getting better and better in our opinion...What a menu selection! So glad that they began a coffee bar in MD. I decided to go wild and try their McNuggets with 3 new sauces..I liked the three sauses that I tried...BBQ Sweet and spicy?,Honey mustard...Would be nice if lines were drawn on the floor to ignivy where...
Standard Mac. Roadside fare at roadside rates. Coffee is hot. Fast and friendly service, washrooms are ........well..... So so!
But as it is next to the 75, they get used a lot.
Nice 50's movie theme, pretty clean. Also, nice outdoor terrace. Great for early morning coffee and newspaper, lunch in the Florida sunshine, or evening ice cream with friends....
it is a typical mcdonalds with typical fast food.bathrooms are always dirty and service is fast. though they did pickm a lousey location packed in the middle of a walmart parking lot.
We don't eat at McDonald's a lot but this is one of the better ones I have been too.It was clean and the workers were fast and friendly.
The coffee was excellent, but my biscuit with bacon lacked the meat.
Pretty much an average fast food restaurant
This was a nice & clean Mcdonald's. The staff was pretty helpful. it was so nice to have the free WI FI and also convenient to our hotel the Days Inn.
Basic McDonalds in front of a WalMart with an old fashioned diner/theatre theme.
Clean, classic, and comfortable. Don't miss this great location.

I missed this trailer for A Single Shot when it first came out, but it just played Tribeca a couple days ago, and you know what? It looks pretty good. Written by Matthew F. Jones, adapting his own novel, it's directed by David M. Rosenthal. I don't know who either of those people are or what the trailer is trying to say that it's about, but a couple factors lead me to believe it might be enjoyable:
William H. Macy in a bad suit:
Angry disheveled Sam Rockwell:
Sam Rockwell is infinitely likable, like a homeless Paul Rudd, so I don't know what else you'd need to know about this film (which also stars Melissa Leo and Jeffrey Wright) in order to make a decision. But just in case, here's the rundown:
Based on the book by Matthew F. Jones, the story follows Rockwell's John Moon, a hunter who accidentally shoots a teenage girl and then discovers a small fortune while trying to dispose of her body. But he's soon on the run from killers looking to retrieve their money, and he's forced to defend his life and his family. [ThePlaylist]
I wish Sam Rockwell would've played John Moon in Moon.
I want more like this!

About Erie County CASA
A History of Erie County CASA
In 1987, Judge Fred Anthony heard of a innovative program developed in Seattle, Washington that used citizen volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children. Judge Anthony championed the cause to bring CASA to Erie with then OCY Director John Petulla.
Over the years, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, thousands of Erie County children have been placed in safe, permanent and nurturing homes.

'Building Blocks' Pre-K Program Improves Child CareBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 02 Feb 2011 02:41pm |
First-year results of an early childhood education program show gains in the quality of care for infants and toddlers at some day care centers in Mississippi. As MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports the ultimate goal of the study is to implement a statewide pre-K program.
The average Mississippi day care scores 2 out of 7 on a scale that measures the quality of care they provide to the children, which is below minimum recommended standards.
Laurie Smith, the executive Director of Mississippi Building Blocks, says mentors were sent into 100 randomly selected day care centers across the state to show day care providers better ways to teach the children.
"We provided cribs, high chairs, books, pictures for the wall, sometimes we went in and painted. We did the whole room makeover experience in some of our classrooms. So basically, trying to teach those research best practices to teachers," Smith said.
Smith says day cares that had the mentors raised their grade to a 3 out of 7.
One of those day cares was Early Encounters Preschool in Hattiesburg. School director Jenny Kern says she wanted to improve her day care but struggled to find resources to help.
"There is training that the state provides but they tend to be ineffective You may be able to find programs that will offer you very minimal resources, a few books for your class rooms, or a few activities for your classrooms. But nothing on the scale that Building Blocks has provided us," Kern said.
Kern says teachers at her school continued to apply skills they learned even after the mentors left.
Jonathan Page says he was stunned by the improvement his 2-year old daughter Janiya made when the program went to her day care in Hazelhurst.
"She knows all of her colors. And now she is actually trying to distinguish the difference between different shapes like a prism and a rectangle, those kinds of things,"
The program is privately funded for three more years, and the second year will focus on 3-to-4 year old children.
Organizers hope that they will show enough results in that time to convince the legislature to pick up the tab and implement a state wide pre-K education program.

NFL.com - Week 2s Top 5 Catches
That's right, Schaub was responsible for two of the top five catches this week. Not surprisingly, the Number One & Number Three catch!!!
Great skills by Johnson and Jones for dragging those in and making the plays and scoring the Touchdowns. But amazing vision by the Quarterback to but those balls where our guys could get them.
This sentence is just to get the word count up to 75.

Last Saturday, I helped out Star Watch Media on the red carpet of the inaugural American Humane Associate Hero Dog Award Show. Among the dogs being honored on this night was Ricochet, who was honored as the 2011 Hero Dog Award finalist from the "Emerging Hero Dogs" category.
Ricochet began her life training to be a service dog helping people with disabilities, but she had to be dropped from the program when her free spirit led her to chase after birds (potentially dangerous to someone with a disability, if Ricochet were to get distracted while outside).
However, it was the same free spirit that led Ricochet to finding her true calling in life as a SURFice dog, helping people with disabilities in a different way — through surfing. If you haven't seen Ricochet's story, check out her story at ricochetsurfingdog.com where you can see the YouTube video that went viral, helping make Ricochet become one of the biggest donation-raising dogs in the world. There are also links to follow Ricochet on Facebook and Twitter.
In the video below, Ricochet's owner, Judy Fridono, talks about letting Ricochet be herself and how she has been able to do so much more:
We will have one more post with video of NCIS star Pauley Perrette tomorrow. The award show will be televised, in entirety, Friday November 11 on the Hallmark Channel.

The aft dining was incredible--not crowded at all--and always with restaurant style seating--it just made meeting people so much easier, with lenthy conversations if we wanted it. This just didn't happen in the rushed, crowded cafeteria hubs on deck 10; you could beat the crowd with early breakfast. But in Scarlet Dining, we enjoyed window seating at lunch and breakfast--always an unhurried treat.
Dream's food is really good. In Scarlet Dining, you just can send it back and ask for something else--but it was so good I never did.
Our room, interior on Deck 1, was nice, comfortable, and the steward was attentive and friendly.
Dream's shows got better each night, culminating in an incredible laser light show. The singing and dancing were expertly choreographed, and we were never bored, that's for sure.
Other ports were great: Roatan (Mahogany Bay) was a great port where we struck out by local bus to Club Natali, where we enjoyed a pristine beach, snorkeling, kayaking in the mangroves, all for five U.S. dollars. Nothing can beat the ambiance and activities of the Carnival Dream. The miniature golf was fun; the gym was well furnished for a workout or just getting on the treadmill.
The ship's crew was out to please and they succeeded. We had read online complaints about rowdy kids, but every child on board was having fun and behaving as far as we could tell. We had no complaints the entire 7 days.

DETROIT — Peter Forsberg is going to give it one more try.
The oft-injured former Avalanche star has committed to making another attempt to play in the NHL and, like last season, hopes to be with a team by the NHL playoffs. If Forsberg, 35, can play, it would likely be with the Avalanche.
"I want to play. I hate sitting in the stands and not be able to be out there on the ice," Forsberg told the Swedish television program "Hockeynight" on Monday. "If it doesn't work this time, I'll call it quits. But I have the best doctor in the world (Bertil Romanus), and without him I would have given up already. I'm still hopeful."
Forsberg revealed he wore electrodes on his troublesome right foot for some games with the Avs after his late-season return.
"(I had) a battery package hidden in my pants. When I turned it on, the foot straightened in the skates. It was kind of funny," Forsberg said.
Forsberg, who posted one goal and 14 points in nine games for the Avs and five points in seven playoff contests, has 885 points in 706 career games.
Forsberg had another surgery on his right foot a few weeks ago, although he has declined to give details of the procedure. His agent, Don Baizley, did not deny Forsberg had the procedure when asked but also declined to comment further.

Freakonomics' Blog wants a new six word motto for the USA. I've been wanting to blog this story for a while.
So I was at a dive bar at last call. Now I've been know to enjoy an afterhours party here and there. People starting talking about getting a poker game together that would go from 2am to about 5am. I was definitely in. Where to hold it? I couldn't, nor could anyone else. But someone knows a guy, an Irish carpenter who was out at another bar, who would have the space and it was a short trip. Phone calls were made, and soon half the bar were all inbound there.
Poker started. 4 of us has put in $50 each, and were given 50 pennies, each representing a $1. Actually two of us had put in $50 – two of the others were good for it. Play started, and I was not doing half bad.
After a while the host came to the poker room, incredibly intoxicated. He had been making out with a women of questionable reputation (many people had shown up to this afterhours for nonpoker reasons), but decided he wanted in on the poker. However he was drunk to the point where he couldn't understand anything. He wanted to be dealt in the full ante, but had no cash on him. However he was the host.
So 50 more pennies entered the table, but no additional currency was in the bank. It is a terrible and uncertain thing to feel instant inflation as we saw the currency on the table grown 20% with no extra reliable currency in our treasurers' hands, but there it was (my senses were supplemented, but not overridden, by the alcohol).
The real concern was that, no matter how much we told him, the host was not aware we were playing for real money. He'd throw in 5 pennies and go "I raise you 5 pennies." We'd respond "You know that that is 5 dollars, right?" He'd respond "Sure….[pause]…so 5 pennies to you." It was discouraging from a monetary point of view.
He went through money quickly. Very quickly. Soon he was out, but still referring to what he owed the table as pennies. Finally he went all in on a pair of sevens, which he lost against a straight. The girl he was making out with earlier came into the room, clearly after ingesting some cocaine in the bathroom, and beckoned the host into his bedroom. As he was being lead away from the room he had a quick moment of clarity, at which point he looked at us and asked "Wait, were we playing for real money?"
At which point I wanted an American Eagle to land by the window and for the National Anthem to play. A carpenter immigrant, right before hooking up with a cocaine girl of questionable reputation, looks at his 50-to-1 leveraged gambles at 4am and asks "Were we playing for real money?"
I think that is a good metaphor for the 2001-2008 investment era. I also think "Were we playing for real money?" should be our national motto in deference to the Bush era that just preceded us. That is my submission to the contest.
