Where to find Real Fresh Italian Buffalo Mozzerella
Just back from a trip in Italy.
Buffalo Mozzeralla that easily pulls apart with your hands that has an almost
stringy inside as you pull it apart. Fresh and tasty. Does anyone in the Toronto Area
actually import or make such a cheese that can be purchased fresh.
I live in North York are but will travel anywhere into the GTA to find the real thing.
The Cheese Boutique in Swansea. Call ahead though, it often sells out.

re: camp1980
It may be Buffalo Mozzeralla but if it is in Costco it is likely not what the OP is looking for.
re: JennaBean
This is misleading, Jenna; they do sell imported Italian buffalo mozzarella in some locations such as Downsview.
re: jayt90
there's the "real thing" and then there's the REAL THING.
I think what you are talking about is Burrata cheese. There is a place in the St. Lawrence Mrkt that offers it every other Wednesday, it's actually flown in from Italy.
re: katbri
Actually Burrata is different from what the OP I think is talking about - though it is AWESOME and if you found a place that makes fresh mozza they may make burrata as well. I would get both!
Burrata (if you've never had it) is essentially mozza "stuffed" with loose curd and cream. So it has a mozza texture outside with a much silkier/creamy inside.
It is one of my favorite things to serve sprinkled with salt/pepper/olive oil and crusty bread.
The International Cheese (Santa Lucia brand) factory outlet in the Junction carries buffalo mozza, fior di latte, and various other Italian cheeses. Their nodini also has a fantastic stringy texture, and it's probably the product I purchase most often. Keep in mind that the cheeses are from Ontario herds, so don't expect the same flavour profile as you found in Italy. It's "factory" as opposed to "artisanal" cheese, but the price and quality are pretty good.
Burrata is a different product. They carry that too, stuffed with bocconcini shreds.
There is actually buffalo mozzerella made in Ontario! It's bound to be both fresher and cheaper than imported Italian buffalo mozzerella. Worth checking it out. Probably the best thing to do is to go directly to the factory outlet to get it - fresh mozerella has a 3 day shelf-life, so that way it will be as fresh as possible.
The maker is Quality Cheese, the brand is Bella Casera. They're in Vaughn, just off the 400. (111 Jevlan Drive)
re: Ferdzy
I've gotten this at Scheffler's at SLM, and agree that it is quite good.
re: atomeyes
This is what I'm talking about! I love About Cheese for this and so many reasons!

re: atomeyes
The stuff at About Cheese was a disapointment. The "mindblowing" experience is really only when it's still warm from just being pulled. If you take it home, leave it on the counter as they suggest, if you eat it later that day, it has a texture more akin to supermarket mozzarella (altough still tastes much better). Excellent for homemade pizza, though.
For what you're after, I'd either go with the Bella Cesare "made in ontario" stuff (their burrata is pretty good too) or something imported from a high end place like Cheese Boutique where freshness may be assured.

They say, to knit a typical sweater, one third of the stitches are for the sleeves, one third are for the yoke, and one third are for the body of the sweater below the underarms.
Well, I wanted, mainly, to knit the sleeves, and draw them together using ribbons and bows. Here is my attempt.
Tertian music is based on the interval of a third. In medicine, a tertian fever returns every three days. Let's hope this one-third of a sweater makes you feel like humming and chases chills away.

What do you do with a Soviet bunker 22 stories underground?
Turn it into a luxury leisure complex, equipped with a hotel, shops and a spa.
At least that's what Nikolai Temerev, the general director of a company that purchased a 1950s nuclear blast-proof bunker in the heart of Moscow last year, plans to do. The Tagansky bunker was built under Stalin and was used to house the communications headquarters of the Soviet leadership and top military officials. With stores of food and medicine, as many as 3,000 people could live and work in the underground network for 90 days without assistance from the "outside world" thanks to its air recycling system and diesel generators.
Temerev's got a powerful ally in Yury Luzhkov, Moscow's mayor. Luzhkov wants to develop as much as a quarter of underground Moscow over the next ten years, up from the 8 percent that is currently being used. Temerev explains why:
There are big problems in this city—transport problems, communications problems. And these need to be resolved .... Either we can build upwards—like, say, in Japan, where they have all these overpasses. But that would mean covering the landscape with triple-level roads. The other option is to build underground. And in that way you don't change the face of Moscow, which is of historical importance to the city and to the Russian people."
And of course, who wants to be disturbed by a nuclear explosion when they're having a facial?

10 Getaways the Whole Group Can Get In On
Whether you want to vacation with a group of girlfriends, a bunch of other couples, or your extended family, these destinations make it easy to plan trips when you have more than just you, your husband, and kids in tow.
By Holly Corbett
JW Marriot Cancun Resort & Spa
If your group is looking for an exotic locale that's still close to home, Cancun may not be the first destination that comes to mind. (Blame its stigma as a wet T-shirt-contest and spring-break capital.) But this Mexican city is also rich with Mayan history, nature, and adventure activities. In the surrounding area, you'll find cenotes (sacred underground rivers), rainforest tours complete with zip-lining, small fisherman islands such as Isla Mujeres, one-of-a-kind shopping experiences at the El Centro flea market, and ancient history like the Chichen Itza Mayan Pyramid—one of the new seven wonders of the world. Stay at JW Marriot Cancun Resort & Spa, which is packed with amenities such as two free-form outdoor pools, an indoor heated lap pool, an outdoor dive pool with an artificial reef, an award-winning Mayan-inspired spa, and nine bars and restaurants. The hotel also offers plenty of group-friendly activities, like tennis and Jet Skiing. Rates start at $149 per night.

County Buildings Where Concealed Carry Is Prohibited
Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Wednesday, October 16, 2013
Starting today, a large majority of Sedgwick County buildings will allow concealed carry permit holders to enter county buildings with guns.
This morning, Sedgwick County commissioners approved, 4-1, to apply the Kansas Personal and Family Act to county-owned and county-leased buildings. Commissioner Tim Norton voted against the resolution.
"I think we have really maximized the opportunity for concealed carry permit holders to exercise their second amendment rights within county buildings," said Commissioner Richard Ranzau.
The state law requires all cities and counties to allow concealed carry expect for buildings with adequate security.
In Sedgwick County, only 27 buildings will continue to prohibit concealed carry, including the Sedgwick County Courthouse and Juvenile Court.
The county owns 177 buildings, leases 31 buildings, and has co-locations in 25 buildings.
For a list of buildings that prohibit concealed carry, click here.

Total contact lenses posted 4% growth in both retail value and volume terms in 2013, which effectively served to take the category to A$107 million and 33.6 million units. Contact lenses experienced the strongest growth across eyewear in 2013; however, industry sources indicate that the industry is starting to show signs of reaching maturity after several years of strong growth. Since 2012, contact lenses have represented 6% of the total eyewear market in value terms, and this figure is expected to remain consistent over the forecast period.
Competitive Landscape
Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (Australia) maintained its lead over the contact lenses category with a 38% value share in 2012. This is due to the market-leading position of the companys Acuvue brand, which is ranked first in contact lenses overall, as well as for daily disposable lenses and weekly/monthly disposable lenses. Although still the clear leader within the category, Johnson & Johnsons market share declined slightly at the outset of the review period due to strong advancements from its competitors in the multifocal and toric markets; the share has been increasing since 2011.
Industry Prospects
Contact lenses are expected to register a 1% constant value CAGR and 3% volume CAGR over the forecast period. Less than 8% of consumers requiring vision correction wear contact lenses and, despite innovations in contact lens materials, comfort and range, this figure is not expected to see any great change over the forecast period.

Written by Wendy Karpel Kreitzman, firstname.lastname@example.com Thursday, 31 October 2013 00:00The Great Neck Public Schools Board of Education set five goals for this school year, the 2013-2014 school year. School Board President Barbara Berkowitz reviewed these goals at the Oct. 21 public action meeting. Berkowitz said that the board "sets goals every year for ourselves." Some of these goals are new and some are ongoing through several years, she added.
Goal number one for this school year is to review the school district's ever-changing curriculum, programs and common core standards, including the degree to which these goals relate to the emotional well-being of the students. As well, this includes conducting school board meetings to inform the public about such programs.
The second goal is to evaluate the school district's APPR plan, which was approved and is being continued into the 2013-2014 school year. Berkowitz said that the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Thomas Dolan has already had discussions and assessments and will continue along those lines. The APPR is the Annual Professional Performance Review, the fairly new teacher evaluation system developed by and now required by the New York State Education Department.
Goal number three is to review the Wellness and Health and Safety District Committees regarding physical education and nutrition and the need to make healthy choices, as well as to determine how the school district's grant money will be spent. Along with this goal, Trustee Susan Healy, school board liaison to these committees, frequently presents reports on the issues at school board meetings.
The fourth goal is to conduct a fiscal review and continue to develop the school board's fiscal responsibilities, while producing a multi-year spending plan and multi-year capital plan. This capital plan takes into account the tax cap implications, unfunded mandates and continued loss of prior state aid money. The school board will continue to support and work on all of these financial goals.
The last goal, the fifth goal is to continue to support the new administrators, staff and parent leaders in order to "build the next generation." This, too, the board will continue to support and work within the goal.

The American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgery (ACOS) and Avedro, Inc., jointly announced that the first patients have been treated in an ACOS study of accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) utilizing Avedro's KXL System. Patients with keratoconus were treated at the Slade and Baker Vision Center in Houston, Texas, by Stephen Slade, MD, and Greg Parkhurst, MD. The ACOS study is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, controlled evaluation to study accelerated CXL in eyes with keratoconus or corneal ectasia after refractive surgery. ACOS is sponsoring the study, which will be conducted in up to 100 clinical centers across the United States.
Each of the clinical sites will exclusively use Avedro's KXL System and proprietary riboflavin for accelerated CXL.
"I am extremely honored to be able to treat the first patients in the US ACOS CXL trial. This will be the largest trial of cross-linking to date in the United States, and will use the latest equipment," Dr. Slade said in a news release. "The idea of stopping a blinding eye disease with this very gentle technology is most gratifying to me as a corneal surgeon. I could not be more pleased for my patients."
Clinical sites that have installed Avedro's equipment are now recruiting eligible patients with keratoconic and post-LASIK ectasia for treatment. A list of clinical sites is available at www.nkcf.org.
The KXL system for accelerated CXL has received the CE Mark and is commercially available in 58 countries outside the United States.

In just their first season together, the Great Neck Condors U-10 soccer team finished strong, taking home the Memorial Day Tournament Trophy, as well as winning first place in the Long Island Junior Soccer League.
"Throughout the year, the team demonstrated tremendous work ethic and improvement" said Coach Cesar Vallejo. "Winning all of our division games except one was a great accomplishment for this young team and is a testament to their hard work" said Trainer Andre Higgins. The team was successfully guided by Cesar and Andre who helped teach the kids to grow as individuals and to learn to play as a team. The Condors boast a high powered offense with Dylan Silverstein, Kyle Berlinsky, Bradley Goodstein, Bradley Davis, Harry Schildkraut, Tanner Zar, and a lock down defense anchored by goalie Jonathan Farkas and bolstered by the defensive support of Nathan Vallejo, Jacob Neiderman, Sam Livers, Robert Sirotkin, and Jacob Portnoy.
The Condors look forward to even more great things in their second year starting in the fall.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. – A southern Indiana man faces felony charges accusing him of severely beating another man with a piece of lumber while several people stood by watching.
Thirty-nine-year-old Damon Arnold of New Albany was charged with battery and several other felony counts in last week's attack that left the victim with facial cuts and bruises and severe swelling in his jaw, ribs and lower back.
Investigators said Arnold drove to the victim's house and asked for help moving firewood. He then allegedly led the victim to a garage, where four to five other men surrounded the man and prevented him from escaping.
Clark County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Mull told WLKY-TV (http://bit.ly/14rFXf2) that Arnold beat the victim "pretty viciously with this 2-by-4" and threatened to burn him alive in a furnace.

When a small town comes under siege by zombies, who can it call? "Norman!" The animated comedy thriller ParaNorman is set in the town of Blithe Hollow, whose locals profit from mining the town's history as the site, 300 years ago, of a famous witch hunt. Eleven-year-old Norman Babcock (voice of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Let Me In) is gifted with the ability to see and speak with the dead, such as his beloved grandmother (Elaine Stritch). Most days, he prefers their company to that of his flustered father (Jeff Garlin), spacey mother (Leslie Mann), and deeply superficial older sister Courtney (Anna Kendrick). Norman is unexpectedly contacted by his odd uncle Prenderghast (John Goodman), who floors him with the revelation that a centuries-old witch's curse is real and is about to come true, and that only Norman will be able to stop it from going into overdrive and harming the townspeople. Once a septet of zombies suddenly rises from their graves, Norman bravely summons up all that makes a hero—courage and compassion—as he finds his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits. Also starring Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Tucker Albrizzi, Alex Borstein, Bernard Hill, Casey Affleck and Tempestt Bledsoe. Official Web Site

Miley Cyrus Short Hair Sexy Or Sloppy? 5 Other Celebs Who Rock Shaved Heads And Short Locks [PHOTOS]
- 6 pictures
Miley Cyrus may have started a short haircut trend. Since the "Wrecking Ball" singer debuted her new short locks last summer, many other celebrities have decided that short or shaved hair is best. Beyoncé joined the club in August, debuting her pixie cut on Instagram. Others have taken it a step further, shaving off all or some of their locks.
Like Us on Facebook :
Jada Pinkett-Smith is the latest celebrity to join this trend. Will Smith's wife debuted her new look at LAX airport on Monday. The new haircut is shaved on both sides but leaves a few locks left at the top. You can check out the new look here.
This is not the first time Jada Pinkett-Smith has shaved her long locks. Last year, she rocked the half-shaved look embraced by stars like Rihanna and Avril Lavigne. But that look did not stay for long. In June, the actress debuted an asymmetrical, angular cut with blonde tips.
This new Jada Pinkett-Smith haircut comes just weeks after the actress revealed her battles with addiction. The actress wrote about her struggles in a Facebook post to celebrate her 42nd birthday.
"What I learned about myself is this, when I was younger I was not a good problem solver, meaning I had a very difficult time with dealing with my problems in life," she wrote last month. "I had many addictions, of several kinds, to deal with my life issues, but today, at 42, I have my wisdom, my heart and my conscience as the only tools to overcome life's inevitable obstacles. I have become a good problem solver with those tools, and I am damn proud."
Jada Pinkett-Smith also is not the first member of her family to go with this look. Last year, daughter Willow Smith also shaved her head, leading some to question Will and Jada for allowing their then-12-year-old to make style choices on her own. Jada Pinkett-Smith fired back at those critics in a Facebook post.
"This is a world where women,girls are constantly reminded that they don't belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination," she wrote. "I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It's also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes and desires."
This shaved look is also nothing new in Hollywood. Both male and female stars have cut their locks for various reasons. Some, like Brad Pitt, cut their hair for a movie role. For others, including Jada Pinkett-Smith the shaved look was just another fashion statement.
Britney Spears also famous shaved her head during her public meltdown. The singer's ex-manager has since claimed Spears cut her hair to hide traces of drugs
Still, it's unclear how long Jada Pinkett-Smith's new haircut will last. After all, Beyoncé changed up her pixie cut just weeks after its debut. And even Miley Cyrus has said that she plans to grow out her hair again. So we should enjoy probably Jada Pinkett-Smith's shaved hair while its lasts.
Check out some other celebrities who shockingly cut their hair in our above slideshow.

So this dress was pretty cute but a little too small on top and I might have even kept it but the armholes were also too tight and that's never something I encounter so I think there's something really off with the armholes on this dress. If not for that I might have kept it.

I have this dress in two sizes and I have the short jacket and coat that go with it. This being said the dress does not fit well. However, I kept it because I love it so much with the coat and jacket. In the smaller dress, which fits my hips and waist, the chest is tight (which is not a problem in most Boden dresses for me, although I am large chested), but the stomach area is still not right. In the larger size dress everything is loose. I want to alter it and make it work better, but haven't taken to time to do it yet--it's tricky because the pattern is essentially stripes which is hard to alter. It's worth it to me to keep it, though, because the fabric is beautiful--it's a lovely stiff, but not overly heavy fabric that will really stand up and it is just such a pretty outfit, especially with the coat. It's so classic and understated. I do wish the fit were better.
I could only recommend this dress to someone who could sew or who had a good seamstress.

I really wanted to like this dress. I wanted it to fit and I wanted to keep it...however, that's not what happened. I'm 5'8", 140 lbs and usually a 4L in Boden (US). I have a narrow/small top-half and a bigger (think pear shaped) bottom half, but no gut to speak of. As such, dressed with fitted tops that flare out past the waist usually work for me.
This dress arrived and the fabric was beautiful. Heavy, with a nice sheen and texture and would've been perfect under a blazer at the office (and more interesting than most of my boring gray/black work wear). But alas, the dress had a weird waist, smallish arm holes, and the skirt poofed out from the waistband and then narrowed around the rear/hips in a sort of narrow tulip shape that was all wrong for me. I sent it back - sadly.

For several years I worked at a running magazine, which meant occasional pilgrimages to big race expos to sell subscriptions. Every trip was highlighted by the same set of questions, no matter the city, race distance, or time of year: "What's the weather look like?" "Have you seen a recent forecast?" "What should I wear tomorrow?" "What would you wear tomorrow?" Instead of selling magazines, we found ourselves talking people out of wearing brand-new socks or shoes to the starting line. Consumed by pre-race jitters, runners, it seems, have a lot of trouble thinking rationally.
It's certainly tempting to over-think RTB in the same way. But a relay also provides you with the luxury to prepare for all conditions and to adjust on the fly. Early next week I'll send my team an email covering a lot of our final planning details, as well as a packing list that will look something like this:
- If you have a reflective vest, headlamp, and/or flashing lights, pack them. If you don't, we'll have extras you can borrow. EVERYONE should have THEIR OWN vest for the duration of the event. Plan to wear it outside of all of your clothing all night.
- 2 x running shoes (your call if you think you'll want racing shoes). Good to have an extra in case of rain.
- 3 x change of racing clothes (shirt, T-shirt/singlet, socks) (Some people like to have a big Zip-Loc bag for each leg's gear, to keep it organized & dry.)
- Gloves and warm hat
- Tights
- Running pants
- Running jacket
- Fleece
- Long-sleeve microfiber shirt(s)
- Warm outer layer. It can get very cold at night, especially when you're sweaty. I'd bring a warm coat, vest, and some nice sweatpants to wear, and plan to wear base layers under that.
- Water bottle. We'll have big jugs of water for you refill these with.
- Also recommended: cell phone charger with car adapter; compression sleeves for lower legs; camera
This represents a delicate balance. You want to be prepared for hot and cold, sun and rain. You want to be comfortable. But you also have to be realistic. There's no room in the back of the van for your entire set of matching luggage. I try to emphasize to the team that they should pack everything they think they might need—but to limit it to one bag. That might mean making some hard choices, but if you pack smart you should still be ready for anything.

Soc. And may we not say with reason that we are now at the vestibule of the habitation of the good? Pro. I think that we are. Soc. What, then, is there in the mixture which is most precious, and which is the principal cause why such a state is universally beloved by all? When we have discovered it, we will proceed to ask whether this omnipresent nature is more akin to pleasure or to mind. Pro. Quite right; in that way we shall be better able to judge. Soc. And there is no difficulty in seeing the cause which renders any mixture either of the highest value or of none at all. Pro. What do you mean? Soc. Every man knows it. Pro. What? Soc. He knows that any want of measure and symmetry in any mixture whatever must always of necessity be fatal, both to the elements and to the mixture, which is then not a mixture, but only a confused medley which brings confusion on the possessor of it. Pro. Most true. Soc. And now the power of the good has retired into the region of the beautiful; for measure and symmetry are beauty and virtue all the world over. Pro. True. Soc. Also we said that truth was to form an element in the mixture. Pro. Certainly. Soc. Then, if we are not able to hunt the good with one idea only, with three we may catch our prey; Beauty, Symmetry, Truth are the three, and these taken together we may regard as the single cause of the mixture, and the mixture as being good by reason of the infusion of them. Pro. Quite right. Soc. And now, Protarchus, any man could decide well enough whether pleasure or wisdom is more akin to the highest good, and more honourable among gods and men. Pro. Clearly, and yet perhaps the argument had better be pursued to the end. Soc. We must take each of them separately in their relation to pleasure and mind, and pronounce upon them; for we ought to see to which of the two they are severally most akin. Pro. You are speaking of beauty, truth, and measure? Soc. Yes, Protarchus, take truth first, and, after passing in review mind, truth, pleasure, pause awhile and make answer to yourself-as to whether pleasure or mind is more akin to truth. Pro. There is no need to pause, for the difference between them is palpable; pleasure is the veriest impostor in the world; and it is said that in the pleasures of love, which appear to be the greatest, perjury is excused by the gods; for pleasures, like children, have not the least particle of reason in them; whereas mind is either the same as truth, or the most like truth, and the truest. Soc. Shall we next consider measure, in like manner, and ask whether pleasure has more of this than wisdom, or wisdom than pleasure? Pro. Here is another question which may be easily answered; for I imagine that nothing can ever be more immoderate than the transports of pleasure, or more in conformity with measure than mind and knowledge. Soc. Very good; but there still remains the third test: Has mind a greater share of beauty than pleasure, and is mind or pleasure the fairer of the two? Pro. No one, Socrates, either awake or dreaming, ever saw or imagined mind or wisdom to be in aught unseemly, at any time, past, present, or future. Soc. Right. Pro. But when we see some one indulging in pleasures, perhaps in the greatest of pleasures, the ridiculous or disgraceful nature of the action makes us ashamed; and so we put them out of sight, and consign them to darkness, under the idea that they ought not to meet the eye of day. Soc. Then, Protarchus, you will proclaim everywhere, by word of mouth to this company, and by messengers bearing the tidings far and wide, that pleasure is not the first of possessions, nor yet the second, but that in measure, and the mean, and the suitable, and the like, the eternal nature has been found. Pro. Yes, that seems to be the result of what has been now said. Soc. In the second class is contained the symmetrical and beautiful and perfect or sufficient, and all which are of that family. Pro. True. Soc. And if you reckon in the third dass mind and wisdom, you will not be far wrong, if I divine aright. Pro. I dare say. Soc. And would you not put in the fourth class the goods which we were affirming to appertain specially to the soul-sciences and arts and true opinions as we called them? These come after the third class, and form the fourth, as they are certainly more akin to good than pleasure is. Pro. Surely. Soc. The fifth class are the pleasures which were defined by us as painless, being the pure pleasures of the soul herself, as we termed them, which accompany, some the sciences, and some the senses. Pro. Perhaps. Soc. And now, as Orpheus says, With the sixth generation cease the glory of my song. Here, at the sixth award, let us make an end; all that remains is to set the crown on our discourse. Pro. True. Soc. Then let us sum up and reassert what has been said, thus offering the third libation to the saviour Zeus. Pro. How? Soc. Philebus affirmed that pleasure was always and absolutely the good. Pro. I understand; this third libation, Socrates, of which you spoke, meant a recapitulation. Soc. Yes, but listen to the sequel; convinced of what I have just been saying, and feeling indignant at the doctrine, which is maintained, not by Philebus only, but by thousands of others, I affirmed that mind was far better and far more excellent, as an element of human life, than pleasure. Pro. True. Soc. But, suspecting that there were other things which were also better, I went on to say that if there was anything better than either, then I would claim the second place for mind over pleasure, and pleasure would lose the second place as well as the first. Pro. You did. Soc. Nothing could be more satisfactorily shown than the unsatisfactory nature of both of them. Pro. Very true. Soc. The claims both of pleasure and mind to be the absolute good have been entirely disproven in this argument, because they are both wanting in self-sufficiency and also in adequacy and perfection. Pro. Most true. Soc. But, though they must both resign in favour of another, mind is ten thousand times nearer and more akin to the nature of the conqueror than pleasure. Pro. Certainly. Soc. And, according to the judgment which has now been given, pleasure will rank fifth. Pro. True. Soc. But not first; no, not even if all the oxen and horses and animals in the world by their pursuit of enjoyment proclaim her to be so;-although the many trusting in them, as diviners trust in birds, determine that pleasures make up the good of life, and deem the lusts of animals to be better witnesses than the inspirations of divine philosophy. Pro. And now, Socrates, we tell you that the truth of what you have been saying is approved by the judgment of all of us. Soc. And will you let me go? Pro. There is a little which yet remains, and I will remind you of it, for I am sure that you will not be the first to go away from an argument. THE END

I don't think my rate or review will be useful, since I made the site myself! I show on this site the statues, monuments, plaques etc. in honor of Christopher Columbus all over the world. It is not especially designed for kids, but only for my own fun.

Policy Initiatives
The mission of the WLSA is to remove barriers to bring together the most committed organizations and thought leaders from all sectors of the community.
For the past 50 years, lives have been extended in industrialized societies but in the past 20 years rates of obesity and certain chronic diseases have skyrocketed in rich and poor countries. The prime culprit seems to be behavior-driven damage to our own bodies. Starting with the discovery of antibiotics, vaccines and antivirals, medical technology has saved millions of lives. We seem to have a collective mindset that technology will save us from the consequences of our own behavior. This assumption threatens our lives, our pocketbooks and our social contract.
Citizens cannot assume that someone else, or some technology, will take care of their own health. We must embrace the responsibility and demand the policies, tools and the institutional transparency that are needed to discharge it. This is not easy. It is difficult to change personal habits and the public's mindset about health and healthcare. Entrenched bureaucracies, professions and institutions will fight to maintain their positions. However, technology and the knowledge that it is creating make it possible to identify and implement the changes that are necessary to achieving our societal goals.
The mission of the WLSA is to remove those barriers and we will do so by continuing to bring together the most committed organizations and thought leaders from all sectors of the community. This involves our continued promotion of technology-enabled disruption of inefficient markets, as happened to retail and entertainment. Equally important is the organization of individuals, as happened with the environmental movement. Combining the power of technology with empowered consumers will allow us to achieve our societal goals for human achievement.

National No-Tillage Conference program announced
Behind the theme of "No-tilling today for a better tomorrow," the 2011 National No-Tillage Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, from Jan. 12 to 15, 2011, promises to deliver the four most highly valuable days of learning experiences for cutting-edge farmers seeking to improve their no-till practices.
The just-completed conference program, now available at www.NoTillConference.com, includes 43 speakers from North America and offers the best no-till management practices and ideas to help no-tillers improve their bottom line. Speakers include no-tillers, agronomists, consultants and university experts teeing up topics ranging from fertility management to precision ag to soil improvement to equipment setups to cover crops and much more--all designed to push up no-till yields with more efficient use of inputs.
The 19th annual event includes 18 general session presentations, 20 classrooms (an increase of five from 2010) and 60 roundtables. Following is a sample of topics and speakers lined up to present nearly 100 hours of in-depth no-till learning at the Hilton in downtown Cincinnati.
--"Dealing With Dirt: What You Need to Know About Soil Quality," from Ray Weil, Ph.D., University of Maryland soil scientist and author of "The Nature And Property Of Soils," will identify practices to improve soil biology and make soils more productive and sustainable.
--"An In-Depth Look at Raising High-Yielding No-Till Soybeans"--Our opening-evening general session will feature former Iowa State agronomist Palle Pedersen; no-till consultant Ed Winkle; and a panel of no-tillers offering best practices for pushing seemingly stagnant no-till soybean yields to a higher level.
--"Managing the Undermanaged Nutrients of No-Till," by Joel Gruver, a Western Illinois University fertility specialist, looks at secondary and trace element needs of today's no-till soils.
--"Residue, Uniformity and the No-Till Systems Approach," by Paul Jasa, a University of Nebraska ag engineer, will examine how to help each corn plant hit its maximum no-till potential.
--"10 Ways to Make No-Till Work Better," by Jack Maloney will look at tactics that helped the Brownsburg, Ind., farmer successfully transition to no-till, as well as no-till better into the future.
--"Overcoming Today's Difficulties with Glyphosate" by Joe Nester, a Bryan, Ohio, no-till consultant, will identify glyphosate abuses and pitfalls while offering practical solutions.
--" 7 Proven Ways to Make No-Till Wheat a Winner," by Herndon, Ky., no-tiller John Young serves up field-tested techniques to make small grains a winning rotational cropping partner.
--"Cover Crops That Fit in Your No-Till Rotation," by Jim Hoorman, an Ohio State University educator, will break down which cover crops are the best performers with no-tilled grain crops.
--"Adopting Modern Technology for Improved Profits," by Dietrich Kastens, a Herndon,Kan.,no-tiller, shares how adopting today's precision technologies can impact long-term productivity.
--"Twin-Stripping and Precision Fertility for Big Corn Yields," gives tips from the high-yielding, twin-row, strip-till corn system and fertility practices of Metamora, Ill., grower John Obery.
--"Keys to Becoming a 100-Percent Continuous No-Tiller," provides some of the key practices that Perryville, Md., no-tiller H. Grant Troop has adopted to "park the plow" and successfully no-till. Darrell Bruggink, executive editor and publisher of No-Till Farmer, the organizer of the National No-Tillage Conference, says both experienced no-tillers and farmers considering adopting no-tillage practices will get dozens of practical tips to use in their operations and be challenged to improve their no-till system.
"Beyond the many things to be learned from speakers during the general sessions and classrooms are the countless hours of one-on-one and group discussions with no-tillers in the roundtables or through hallway networking," Bruggink says. "This event really empowers no-tillers with helpful ideas and practical tips that allows them to walk away from the conference re-energized to start a new production season."
The final 12-page program can be viewed and downloaded at www.NoTillConference.com. Registration is just $249 per person, with a special $222 rate for additional farm or family members.
The National No-Tillage Conference is co-sponsored by No-Till Farmer and 12 industry-leading companies, including Agro-Culture Liquid Fertilizers, Agrotain International, Bayer CropScience, Case IH, Equipment Technologies, Great Plains Manufacturing, Oregon Ryegrass Commission, SFP, Syngenta Crop Protection, Thurston Manufacturing, Titan International and Trimble Navigation.

Written by Jared Kurtzer, email@example.com Thursday, 26 September 2013 00:00
The Syosset Braves 8-year-old football team started their season off last Sunday in high fashion playing a highly touted Farmingdale team. The Braves brought their focus and determination into Farmingdale looking to set a tone for the 2013 season—and that they did.
Braden "Speedy" Sosnik picked up right where he left off last season by taking the opening play 60 yards for the first touchdown of the game. The extra point was added by rookie running back Alex "The Blur" Siegel.
Quarterback Avery Kurtzer would lead the Braves with a balanced attack right back down the field on the Braves second possession. Sosnik would add another touchdown with an extra point added on a reverse end around by Matt Donaldson showing his power and speed to find the endzone.
The day was just getting started for the Braves as touchdowns were added by Adam Giovinco (54 yards), Darrin Costa (35 yards), and Dan Garibaldi (6 yards). Kai Moskovich added an extra point with a run that showed a lot patience for the hole to develop and took advantage when it finally appeared.
Quarterbacks Avery Kurtzer and Kyle Joe led the offense with precision timing; handing the ball off to 11 different running backs. Avery Kurtzer also added a couple tough runs for a first down up the heart of the Farmingdale defense.
As great as the offense played, the defense played better. The Braves refused to give ground all day with every player contributing to tackles and keeping pressure on the quarterback and running backs.The Braves were able to cause a crucial early turnover with a fumble recovery by Brandt Morgan.
The Braves defense held Farmingdale scoreless to cruise to a 33-0 victory.
This was a total team effort on both sides of the ball by Joshua Blond, Andrew Brotman, Darrin Costa, Matthew Donaldson, Daniel Garibaldi, Adam Giovinco, Alex Goodman, Ethan Hart, William Henry, Kyle Joe, Terrance Johnson III, Avery Kurtzer, Brandt Morgan, Kai Moskovich, Luca Pipia, Giovanni Reyes, Alex Siegel, Robbie Sokolski, and Braden Sosnik.
The 8-year-old Braves travel to Uniondale on Sunday, September 22 at 10 a.m. for what will prove to be a battle of two tough football teams. Please come out to support our team to another win!

A Greenville man who killed his son testified in court that it was his fear of going back to prison led that him to hide the 4-year-old's body after he had drown in the bathtub in August 2007.
Christopher Wilson, 35, was sentenced to 25 years in prison in the death of Javeion Mayes. Wilson also was sentenced to 10 years for severely beating two inmates while waiting for trial in his son's death.
In November 2007, Wilson stomped one inmate in the head and the other in the chest, said Assistant Solicitor Bryna Seay.
The judge sentenced Wilson to 10 years in prison for the attacks, though the time will be served while Wilson serves the homicide by child abuse sentence. He must serve 85 percent of that sentence before he's eligible for parole.
The fight began, Wilson told the judge, when one of the inmates ridiculed him for being in jail on charges that he killed his son. The other inmate joined in to beat Wilson up, but Wilson told the judge, "I just got the best of them."
In late summer 2007, Wilson had just learned that he was the father of young twins.
The 4-year-old boys — once cared for by another man who believed himself to be the father — were left in Wilson's care on a sweltering night while their mother worked third shift.
Taveion Mayes would live to see the next day.
Javeion Mayes would lie dead beneath a forest of kudzu, his 33-pound body wrapped in trash bags and hidden by his father, who in a fit of frustration jerked him to the bathroom floor and left him to drown in a bath tub.
"I'm sorry," Wilson told a judge Monday. "If I could take it back, I would. This is something I get to live with the rest of my life."
The tragic details of Javeion Mayes' final hours came to light in court as Wilson pleaded guilty to homicide by child abuse and described how a fear of going back to prison led him to hide his son's body instead of calling for medical help while the boy clung to life.
"He didn't know anything about parenting," Wilson's attorney, Nihar Patel, told Circuit Judge Ned Miller, who also sentenced Wilson in the beatings of two men he attacked while housed in the Greenville County jail.
