A Healthy Curriculum
Midwest Food Connection serves full-sized nutrition to its half-pint audience.
By Nancy Crotti
The recent focus on improving childhood eating habits is old news to a handful of Twin Cities natural foods cooperatives. Six co-ops support the Midwest Food Connection (MFC), a Minneapolis nonprofit that sends natural-food educators into elementary school classrooms with lessons that leave a healthy impression.
Mississippi Market and The Wedge started the program as a pilot in 1993. The following year, schoolteacher Uli Koester came on board, introducing real food and its origins to young children, some of whom had never seen fresh fruit or vegetables.
For 10 years, the program was a one-person operation. Koester, now executive director, hired another teacher in 2004 and gradually added more as the program grew. In the meantime, Lakewinds, Linden Hills, Seward and Valley
Natural Foods co-ops began to support the program.
MFC now dispatches six teachers into kindergarten through fifth-grade classrooms, tailoring each lesson to the students' comprehension level. The teachers first visit the sponsoring co-op to purchase the food needed for the lesson and use it (along with an electric frying pan) to demonstrate food preparation. Lessons may also include storytelling, singing, acting, art and writing activities.
The nonprofit offers four seasonal sets of lessons about natural foods and sustainable agriculture. From September through November, it's about locally grown food, including wild rice, salad fixings from nearby farms, and herbs and spices used in Minnesota. From November through January, students learn about root vegetables, Minnesota-grown grains, sugar and other sweeteners, and corn. The winter session focuses on foods from many cultures. In the spring, students learn about urban farming.
The co-ops provide 80 percent of MFC's annual $160,000 budget, most of which pays the teachers and provides their benefits. Last year, they visited 51 schools, according to Koester.
Co-op employees also serve on the program's board.
Supporting MFC helps fulfill the cooperative principles of education and community involvement, according to Liz McMann, consumer affairs manager at Mississippi Market. "Last school year, there were nine different schools in St. Paul that received lessons on behalf of Mississippi Market," McMann says. "We even have people come in and say, 'You were at my kid's school last week.' It's cool that people associate Midwest Food Connection with the co-ops."
In the 2011–2012 academic year, Valley Natural sponsored teacher visits to 850 students in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Lakeville, and Rosemount, according to Erin Erickson, the co-op's promotions and education coordinator. The previous year, the co-op began sponsoring lessons that combine classroom time with visits to its gardens.
There, students may help with planting, sample herbs, or dig in a compost pile to find creepy-crawlies such as centipedes, spiders, and worms. "Sometimes we've been fortunate enough to have an insectary island, a grouping of plants that are places where beneficial insects can hang out," says Gary Johnson, community relations developer at Valley Natural. "They might be nectar plants or plants they can get water from, for example, a cupped plant."
The program also works in schoolyard gardens. At Seward Montessori School in Minneapolis, MFC taught lessons in the fall and collaborated with a gardener and the school parent group to raise money for a garden that matches the nonprofit's teaching style and lessons. Spring will bring soil studies and planting of early-harvest plants such as chives, lettuce and strawberries.
Haruko Ruggiero, MFC's curriculum coordinator, says she and her fellow MFC teachers often work with the same teachers year after year. They may present their lessons to multiple classrooms in one school.
That's the case at Clara Barton Open School in Minneapolis, where first- and second-grade teacher Kristin Sonquist first invited Koester, her former colleague, into her classroom soon after he joined the program. "Uli works with me to fit the lesson to my classroom goals," Sonquist says. "Sometimes American kids grow up to school age eating only Goldfish crackers. Uli is a master at getting them to try something new and requires that they are respectful of the food so there's no 'Oh, yuck,' or 'Oh, ish.'"
Koester believes the current national discussion on childhood obesity and healthful eating is good, but that co-ops have more to offer children. "We really focus on the goodness of good food," he says. "They respond to food that tastes good and to the cultural and agricultural background of food. Giving meaning to food, for their families, for their lives, is what I think makes children into good eaters."
It also benefits the co-ops and their communities, according to longtime Wedge employee Elizabeth Archerd. "Anything that helps the community understand the issues of our food supply, helps the co-ops," she says. "And it starts with kids, helping them to understand the deep connections between food, culture, and land—and that food doesn't come from a factory."

A holy city for three monotheist religions, Jerusalem is the birthplace of Christianity, the spiritual home of Judaism, and the site where Mohammad rose to heaven. Jerusalem is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, yet has been destroyed and rebuilt countless times. Learn more about Jerusalem's tumultuous past at today's picks.
Frommer's: Jerusalem: In Depth4 stars
"Genesis relates that Abraham visited Melchizedek (king of Salem), one of the first known references to Jerusalem. However, for the next 800 years the city played no part in biblical or Jewish history." Yes, Frommer's is a travel site, but their in depth history is well-written and worth reading. Unfortunately the horizontal chapter navigation isn't repeated at the bottom of each article, so when you're finished you need to scroll back to the top to click to the next chapter.http://www.frommers.com/destinations/jerusalem/0088010012.html
Jerusalem Archaeological Park5 stars
The Jerusalem Archaeological Park, adjacent to the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives, is an "exceptional area which has captivated the world's imagination throughout history, has been designated as an archaeological park and open museum." Best clicks are the 360-degree panoramas that recreate the Herodian Temple Mount (look under Virtual Reconstruction Model) and the Historical Notes on the First and Second Temple Periods. If you are writing a high-school or college paper, there is a huge link section covering Second Temple Period and Early Islamic Period.
Tower of David: Museum of the History of Jerusalem5 stars
My pick of the day is the Tower of David Museum site, which offers a exciting glimpse into the permanent collection of this real-life museum. "The exhibition offers primary sources for the existence of Jerusalem as far back as the Canaanite period, and illustrates the city's history through to early 20th century." Traverse the exhibit using the timeline, or the text menu just below it. In each room, be sure to click on "Selected Items from the Exhibit."

4 dead, 17 hurt when train hits Texas vets parade
Rob Fields holds up the blood type of his wife, Laura, outside the packed United Blood Services in Midland after a float was struck by a train. Fields and his wife traveled more than 30 miles after hearing on television that United Blood Services was specifically in need of 0- type blood.
Associated Press
Parade participants react after a trailer carrying wounded veterans in a parade was struck by a train in Midland, Texas, Thursday.
Associated Press
DALLAS – A freight train slammed into a parade float carrying wounded veterans Thursday, killing four people and injuring 17 others as the float tried to get through a West Texas railroad crossing on its way to an honorary banquet, authorities said.
The eastbound train was sounding its horn before it hit the trailer float about 4:40 p.m. in Midland, Union Pacific spokesman Tom Lange said. A preliminary investigation indicated the crossing gate and lights were working, Lange said, though he didn't know if the train crew saw the float approaching.
Two people died at the scene, while two others died at Midland Memorial Hospital, City of Midland spokesman Ryan Stout said. Seven of those injured are in critical condition, while the 10 others are in stable condition, he said.
About two dozen veterans and their spouses had been sitting in chairs on the float, set up on the back of a flatbed tractor-trailer decorated with American flags and signs identifying each veteran, photos show.
Panic swept through those seated on trailer as the locomotive's horn sounded, said Patricia Howle, who was waiting at a nearby traffic light as the train approached.
"My daughter said, 'Momma, the train is coming!' and she was looking for it as I saw the trailer begin to cross the railroad tracks," Howle told KOSA-TV. "People were jumping off, trying to get off that trailer and the truck was still rolling.
"People on the trailer saw the train coming, and they were flying in every direction," she added. "I covered my face. I didn't want to see."
The float was among two flat-bed trucks carrying veterans and their spouses, police said. The first truck safely crossed the railroad tracks, but the second truck's trailer was hit by the train. Police said some of the people on the second trailer were able to evacuate before the crash.
A banner across the truck's front bumper read, "Heroes on Board."
The parade was to end at a "Hunt for Heroes" banquet honoring the vets. The wounded service members were then going to be treated to a deer-hunting trip this weekend. The events have been canceled.
Lange said Union Pacific is offering help to the community and victims' families, as well as peer-to-peer counseling for the train crew, who did not sustain any injuries.
"There is going to be a very thorough investigation," Lange said. "It's obviously a very tragic incident."
The National Transportation Safety Board also is investigating, NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said.
Midland is about 320 miles west of Dallas.
Associated Press writer James Beltran contributed to this report from Dallas.

Shotguns & Sorcery
Shotguns & Sorcery is the setting for the second trilogy for my 12 for '12 plan. Imagine if Raymond Chandler had written The Lord of the Rings and transplanted his noir version of Los Angeles onto the Lonely Mountain and then surrounded it with zombies.
Okay, you don't have to imagine that. I'm already on it.
You can learn all about the Shotguns & Sorcery trilogy at its Kickstarter page. The drive to fund these novels launched there on February 14 and ended on March 11.
For a limited time — to give you a taste of what those books will read like — I'm giving away "Goblintown Justice," the first Shotguns & Sorcery story published, for free. See below for all the details.
Goblintown Justice
Ex-adventurer Max Gibson knows he's found trouble when he stumbles out of his favorite tavern and into a murder scene, but when he realizes that both the victim and the blood-spattered orc kneeling over her are old friends of his, it gets far worse. Arrested as an accomplice to the crime, Gibson must work fast to find out what really happened and clear his name before his still-living friend pays the ultimate price.
This story is available below in both ePub (iBooks, Nook, etc.) and Mobi (Kindle) formats for free. If you don't want to bother with downloading a file here and loading it into your e-reader, you can also get the story directly through the Kindle and Nook stores for 99¢ (the lowest they'll let me charge). Plus DriveThruFiction.com and Smashwords also have the story posted for free.
[wpdm_file id=1][wpdm_file id=2]
8 Responses to "Shotguns & Sorcery"
As soon as I can get the download tool to work, I will download "Goblintown Justice" and post a review.
Do you have a PDF version?
I would like to order these in softcover when they're available. Is there a mailing list or RSS feed I can use to be notified?
I'm going to say something I mean as a complement, not an insult – I've found that most of the authors who write in established science fiction settings they did not create are not as enjoyable as the works of the better original science fiction writers. I group Matt Forbeck with Mel Odom and Richard Knaak as happy exceptions.


text: 8 Items View: 12 / 24 / 48 Fantastic light! By matt on 12/5/2014 matt would recommend this product to a friend Bought this light for a 20 gallon tall.. Was very skeptical about not being able to control every color. Doesn't matter, the color is perfect, and the light looks great. My corals are growing pretty consistently, even my sps. Having a weird situation with stray voltage on the heat sink, but its getting replaced by maxspect currently. Great bang for buck By steven on 10/30/2014 steven would recommend this product to a friend Bought this for my IM Nuvo 16 and as said before it covers the tank perfectly. Real clean looking led with lots of programmable features. Went with the 16k version and wouldn't have it any other way. Great Light, awesome value! By Jeff on 7/17/2014 Jeff would recommend this product to a friend I have the 16K over my 28 gallon JBJ. I bought this to replace the awful lighting that comes on the 89w pro version of the tank after it failed with only two years of use. Its been a couple weeks now and the corals seem to be thriving more than ever. The spread of the light seems perfect for this tank which is about 2 foot wide. As others have mentioned the polyp extension is more than I ever saw with the previous lighting setup. I was going to integrate it into the hood but I cant bring myself to cover the light up it looks great the way it is with the provided mount. All in all excellent product especially for the price definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new light for their nano cube. AWESOME LIGHT By corey on 4/23/2014 corey would recommend this product to a friend i bought this light for my nuve 16 people are saying the spread is only 20 in. it has some power love and will but another great product high quality and a great bang for your buck when it comes to budget. thank you brs. Great Product and Delivery By Dan on 3/6/2014 Dan would recommend this product to a friend First I would like to give BRS an A++ for delivery. I received my 16000k version a day earlier than expected which was awesome! The care taken by BRS in packaging the light was exceptional as well. Now for the light: I bought the light to go over a Biocube 29 that I am in the process of setting up and so far it looks great. The build quality is top notch, the programmability is easy, and the light coverage is perfect for the Biocube. Overall a great buy so far. Good LED light for the money By Joseph on 12/16/2013 Joseph would recommend this product to a friend I've put together a few DIY LED multichips lights over my DT (total of 340 W), but I thought I'd try out a commercial version over my converted 10 gal refugium with this Maxspect. While I could probably put together a 60 W DIY for $150, it wouldn't be as adjustable as this unit (and it wouldn't look quite as nice), so overall I'm pretty happy with it. With 100% on in both channels, the 16000 K unit looks good, but it does get pretty blue when channel A drops below channel B. I'd be interested to see what the 10000 K unit would look like, but that comparison will not happen soon. Nice Polyp Extension By Andrew on 8/1/2013 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend Previous on my biocube 29 HQI I had the standard 150 watt MH light. As I didn't want to shock my corals I started the light around low 30% intensity & have moved up gradually from there. Currently, I'm up to 45%. The 16K light is just a little too blue for me, even with the blue lights on channel B off. For my next tank I will go with the 10K MaxSpect. Overall, a huge improvement from the MH light, water stays cool & my electric meter no longer looks like a UFO spinning out of control. Great LED light By Michael on 7/15/2013 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I got the 16000k version over my Nuvo 16g aquarium. Easy setup and the spread covers the tank perfectly. Three different programs to choose from, I went with the Auto, simple clicking of the dial to set this up. I've read about the size of the power supply being too big, but it's the size of any LED I've owned. Overall the unit is light, looks super sleek over my tank. Can't wait to get some sps corals in there.

Las Vegas is America's playground, and no matter what game you're planning to play, your vacation hand improves when you're dealt a stay at Bluegreen Club 36.
The Art Deco resort offers 1- and 2-bedroom suites with kitchens and plenty of space and great access to everything you could possibly desire for your Vegas trip.
Even before hitting the town, Bluegreen Club 36, located at latitude 36 degrees north, offers great views of the city lights from a 4th-floor Observation Deck, an indoor heated pool, poolside or private room massages, four on-site restaurants and shopping.
But since you're in Vegas, you'll be going out on the town. Bluegreen Club 36 is a great base to explore your options, like hitting the world-famous casinos on the Strip, catching a show like Blue Man Group or Cirque du Soleil, getting a little history with the Mob Museum or riding a roller coaster from the rooftop of a hotel.
And then there's the food and shopping. Yeah, Vegas has that too. That's quite nice hand you've been dealt.

Steve Berry – The King's Deception
Steve Berry's latest is The King's Deception, a story set not only in modern times but also over four centuries ago. It revolves around the popular legend that Queen Elizabeth 1 was in fact an impostor, and quite possibly a male illegitimate son of Tudor lineage. In our talk, Berry explores this legend that was investigated decades ago by none other than Bram Stoker (yes, he of Dracula fame) and makes some compelling points in its favor. The writer weaves this speculation into a Cotton Malone thriller, centered on conflicting agendas between the British Secret Service and the CIA that has current ramifications that could explode the powder keg that is contemporary Ireland, inflaming old hatreds. History buffs and thriller fans alike will enjoy this alternate take on the British Empire, and further tales of the ever fascinating ruler, Henry VIII.
Steve Berry – The Jefferson Key
The Jefferson Key is Steve Berry's latest offering and it's about piracy, although not of the Jack Sparrow fantasy ilk. It concerns an obscure portion of the Constitution that allows privateers to plunder at will in the service of their country in time of war. Very much like Dan Brown, Berry seamlessly mixes historical fact and fiction, and tells us how he keeps it true to real life while forcing the necessary flights of imagination that spur the multiple plot lines, including some fascinating conspiracy theories on presidential assassinations.
The Jefferson Key is available on Amazon.

Hi there.
Please know that I have spent hours and hours reading all the archives of this awesome forum. But I can't find the answers that I need.
2 and a half weeks ago, I brought a Leopard Gecko home. She was needing a new home, and we were "needing" a new pet. This is my first lizard.
I am very thorough in my pet care and research. I did lots of reading (library books and internet) as well as many visits to gecko owners as well as chatting with the staff at local exotic stores and independent breeders.
About the lizard = she is a blizzard leopard gecko. Super cute <grin>. I'm guessing she is about 1 year old. The people who had her before had her for 6 months. She was bought from a store (not sure what one).
The problem = she has eaten NOTHING since bringing her home. 2 weeks and 3 days. No food.
We have the same mealworm colony that she was eating in her previous home (she was eating 5-8 a day). I also picked up superworms for her in hopes that a bigger critter would inspire her to eat. I have not tried crickets. She has never had them before. I currently replace her food twice a day, so that she always has "fresh" gut loaded food, should she decide to eat. I have been keeping 2 mealworms in her cage at a time. I tried to do more, but they climbed on each other and escaped the dish and dug into the sand. A superworm is in a teacup - it can't get out, but the gecko could get it if she wanted to.
I have tried putting the food in front of her. I have tried feeding her with tweezers. I have kept the food dish in the original spot. I have moved the food dish. She walks through the dish of mealworms, they go on her feet. If she sees them in the sand, she may lick them, but then walks away from them. If a lizard can look offended - she looks offended.
Her enclosure is the same one that she had in her previous home. I kept things in the same location. Her original setup had a little fake rock hide, two climbing rocks, a water dish and a worm dish. I removed one of the rocks (too tippy) and also added a moist hide (which she LOVES). I have also added the teacup with the worm.
She is on sand. Always has been. I have not replaced the sand since I got her. I have been scooping it. She has been pooping a bit. 4 or 5 times in the 2 weeks, though none in the last few days.
Size of enclosure = 12"high x 12"deep x 24" wide
Screen top. Heat bulbs on top (I have 2, one 50w, one 75w - I vary which one goes on depending on the temps).
Temps (as I understand they are important for digestion and general gecko happiness) are apparently fine (according to varied internet sources, and the reptile experts at the exotics store. They range from 95 at the hottest (on top of her little cave), to 92-87 inside her cave and her moist hide, to 85-77 in the main parts of the enclosure. One corner area is 75.
All those temperature are ground temperatures taken with a digital thermometer with a probe that we used to use for our home, but now is a gecko thermometer. I believe that it is accurate.
Calcium = using Repashy Superfoods Leopard Gecko Calcium Plus . They used to dose her food once a week. Since she is not eating, I have put a bit of the calcium in her mealworm dish. So she could eat that if she needs it. And so that the mealworms (should she eat them) would be calcium covered.
Gecko behaviour = she is a lovely little gecko. She was handled about once a week in her previous home in the last little while, but more when she was "new". We left her alone for a few days, then I started leaving my hand in her enclosure. She would lick it, then I would take my hand out. After about 5 days, she climbed on to my hand. We took in slow - but she will happily come out for some very gentle and brief handling. She wanders around the cage (I smooth out the sand so I can see her activity). Her active times are in the morning and around dinner time. She comes up to the glass, looks around, and will follow the people around the room.
Kids = I have 3 kids (7,4,4). The do not "hold" her. Yesterday, I let her crawl on their legs. She is MY pet, not the kids. They are not allowed to open the cage without me. I have a pile of books on one corner as my "alarm" to prevent that.
So - the big questions...
How long can she go without food before she is seriously damaged? Her tail is still a bit chubby, but less thick than it was two weeks ago. Do other geckos just go off food like this?
And - more importantly, perhaps....Is there ANYTHING I can do to get her to eat? The people who I got her from have absolutely no interest in taking her back. So it is up to me to solve this.
Thanks for reading this (It grew into something longer than I had anticipated). Your feedback is eagerly anticipated.
Kat (the worried gecko mom)

I work full time here.. 8.30-4.30 5 days a week, 30 days holiday per year.
Hi all,
The network manager here is asking me to see how many other ICT staff members work Full Time (compared to Part Time/Pro Rata) at their place of work and for those who do how they justify the extra working hours.
Many thanks,
I work full time here.. 8.30-4.30 5 days a week, 30 days holiday per year.
Full time, 37 hrs a week, 27 days holiday
The whole team is full time here.
I don't know how we'd manage otherwise.
Full time 35 hours / week + 30 days hols.
There are four of us and we are usually fully stretched.
Well.... no, not really.Thanks guys
Would it possible to get some reasons specifily why you work full time and what you do with the extra time.
At the moment the NM is looking for a way to justify why she should work full time.
There's always something to do whether it's a slow PC or WSUS not updating properly or someone's whiteboard is not doing what it should or someone can't find a printer or some service has stopped running on the server..... or...or.....
It's a costant drip feed of tasks, either scheduled or fire brigade! The network simply wouldn't run, and teachers couldn't teach to full capacity without constant IT support of one form or another.
37 hours a week 5 days a week, and I get 5 weeks holiday. Im refused overtime, and I tend to work on a night from home.
I think during term time it's common sense to work full time. During the holidays i'm mainly here to support our admin and finance team, also spend a lot of time working on the stuff i just cannot do during term time, server work etc.
1 Network manager (Full time 37 hours + 2.5 hours paid OT at lunch),
2 Technicians (one of them me) Same hours as above, but I am Term Time only.
We get more 'real' work done when the teachers/students aren't here than any other time. Simply because it's very hard to run a new network cable, or install a new whiteboard, or refit an intellidesk when there's 30 kids in the room.
Plus things like full room rebuilds/software installs take a lot of time, and students/teachers don't like it when you decom a classroom for a day to rebuild it.
Term time only here meaning that unfortunately some things never get done.
I work full time 37 hours a week, 8:00 till 4:00, think i get 26days holiday, I don't take work home with me, if something doesn't get done in work time it gets done the next day.
1 Tech (me)
600 kids
300 Computers inc Laptops
We tend to run round like headless chickens alot of the time, theres always someone that needs our help.
About 650 students 11-16 and then about 400 in a shared sixth form (technicaly half of them are our students).
About 50 classrooms throughout the school, all with smartboards.
6 ICT suites, plus music and DT ICT areas with bother have other 20 pcs each.
6th form study area with 20 PCs.
Teacher laptops for most full time teachers (probably about 70 or them).
Loads of servers at the moment, we're moving to virtual setup.
Wireless throughout most of our buildings (mostly unmanaged at present).
Probably about 40 office computers.
Printers in every department office.
The summertime is primarily used for big infastructure upgrades. This summer we added 2 new ESX servers and a SAN. We also vlaned our selves off from our partner school (which was project we lead), and finaly started using DHCP. Installed 20 pcs into our music department.

Business Matters
Profit with prosperity for allBy Peter Angelo V. Perfecto
The staff of the Makati Business Club (MBC) organized last Dec. 19 a Christmas outreach for 30 children of Sitio Gipit in Antipolo, Rizal. The whole MBC team participated in an afternoon of storytelling, games, art, gift-giving and merienda. The little treat was appreciated tremendously by the children and their parents who live in a rural poor community spawned in part by the operations of a huge cement factory in the area. We crossed some rice paddies to get to another side of the community and were informed that these were the work of tenant farmers who use their harvest to pay for the use of the land and for debts incurred and feed their families either with the harvest itself or with the little they still manage to sell.

2. Waivers: Undergraduate and graduate coursework completed elsewhere, but only from a regionally accredited institution, may be used to waive credit hour requirements in the MS-HR/LR waiveable program core, if equivalencies are established; certification of competency in these areas by means of a proficiency examination such as CLEP or significant work-related experience may be considered;

Time to Degree Completion:
In the best interests of the student and the college, a maximum of five years is allowed for completion of degree requirements. Under exceptional conditions, an additional year may be permitted upon formal request and approval by the academic dean and the Provost.
Repeat Policy:
Studens must repeat a course in which s/he receives a letter grade of F, if required by the department academic review committee.
Admission Notes:

Admission of International Students:
The School of Management welcomes students from other nations who show promise of profiting from educational opportunities in the United States. International applicants must have completed only a three-year (or more) degree-bearing postsecondary program which is equivalent to a US bachelor's degree in order to be considered for acceptance into the MSHR/LR program.
Moreover, international applicants who have earned undergraduate degrees at foreign universities must provide evidence of English proficiency per NYIT policies. This may be accomplished either by achieving a minimum of 79/80 on the IBT Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), of a six on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or an examination deemed to be equivalent.

Yo futs you're absolutely right WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO WEST? Snoop became a bitch doin' songs with Katty Perry, Game became Lil Wayne's bitch and Dr Dre forgot about where he's from. Although some rappers got the west fucked up there are still rappers that keep it real like Wc,Ice Cube,Mc Ren,Young Maylay,Mc Eiht,Brotha Lynch Hung and many more
real talk! i guess other rappers don't care more about honore, respect, passion for hip-hop and for the fans. unfortunetly money rullz the world and nobody can stop 'em from their grid...but thang god we still have one real Ice Cube that's true to the game and respects his fans deliverin them what they wanna hear!
i agree, the westcoast has allways been gangsta rap from n.w.a , snoop, 2pac and game i dont no y things haft to change. there has been no westcoast gangsta rapper generate major hipe since Game. my opinion the best years of gangsta rap was the early 90s when the west was on top. Glad 2 see ice cube is still keepin it gangsta tho.
Man,I think the new generation will fuck up the West more... The only hopes of the new generation are Cube's son and Young Maylay...Game was one of my hopes but he disappointed me in his upcoming album..Fuck Lil Wayne, Game you don't need him...The west got to go back in 80's and 90's...Dre in still dre said "they say the rap changed" the people said it but dre try to make it true...We got to go back if the West still want to named West.....
yes dog you are absolutly right and it's time to talk aboutt this subject and really try to wake up everybody: you're right where is dr dre of the nwa days? where is dr dre who was fucking the police?!! where dr dre who was alwayz into somethin'?? i mean without ice cube and mc ren there is no real talent and everybody is going soft! man fuck that!!!!!
i hope there's a new genertation of rappers in the west that would bring the gangsta shit back

San Onofre State Beach is one of the most popular state parks in California, and the park includes three distinct areas: the bluffs, the campground and --most importantly-- the beach break: Trestles.
Perhaps one of Southern California's most prolific surf breaks, which no doubt adds to its popularity and often packed house, Trestles is comprised of a few different spots; including: from north to south, Cottons, Upper Trestles (Uppers), Lower Trestles (Lowers), Middle Trestles (Middles), and Church.
Lower Trestles is the show-stopper, which offers consistent left and right point-break waves over a sandy and rocky bottom. Because of its prime location, the break can manage swell from all directions and produces hallow, fast and clean waves --especially from the summer and fall southern swell.
The break is a favorite for dozens of pro surfers, not to mention a few edgy, protective locals, and a generous host to hundreds of top-tier international surf contests. At the time of this post, Quicksilver and Surfline are webcasting the 2011 USA Championships from Lowers, and you can always catch non-stop Trestles action on Surfline's HD webcam from the beach. The webcam is particularly active before and after contests with the pros warming up and taking advantage of the break while in town.
San Onofre State Beach is located in San Diego County, just south of San Clemente on Interstate 5. There is parking at the park to access Lowers, but you'll have to hike north a bit to reach the break. Otherwise, theSurfingBlog.com offers detailed parking/walking instructions on reaching the beach from off-site lots. Other activities at the park include camping, hiking, kayaking, fishing and biking.

WSDOT Customer Service, 800-368-2559 or email@example.com
OLYMPIA – Drivers have an extra two weeks to remove their studded tires this year.
The Washington State Department of Transportation extended the studded-tire season through the end of the day Monday, April 16, as forecasts call for possible winter driving conditions through the heavily-traveled Easter weekend.
"This year, we have a combination of winter weather still in the forecast for much of the state," said Chris Christopher, WSDOT director of maintenance operations. "With spring break and Easter right around the corner, we wanted to give drivers the chance to travel before having to take off their studded tires."
Studded tires are legal in Washington from Nov. 1 to March 31, unless WSDOT grants an extension. WSDOT officials don't anticipate any further extensions beyond April 16.
"Our crews will still be out working, but we need drivers to check the forecast, carry chains and drive for conditions," Christopher said. "Close to 100 inches of snow came down on Snoqualmie Pass between March 15 and April 15 last year, and drivers can expect to see snow in the mountains well into May."
No one can guarantee ice- and snow-free highways so drivers traveling to higher elevations should always prepare for winter driving conditions. This means having information on weather and roadway conditions, traction tires and chains.
Christopher said drivers who don't anticipate driving in winter conditions should take the time to remove studded tires sooner since tire stores will be very busy in the days leading up to April 16.Commercial vehicles and combinations of vehicles more than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) are still only required to carry sufficient tire chains between Nov. 1 and April 1. When highway advisories call for chains, all drivers (including commercial vehicles) who travel past the chains required signs without chaining up will face a $500 penalty.
WSDOT keeps people, businesses and the economy moving by operating and improving the state's transportation systems. To learn more about what we're doing, go to www.wsdot.wa.gov/news for pictures, videos, news and blogs. Real time traffic information is available at www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic or by dialing 5-1-1.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo sat down with me at Mohegan Sun Casino & Resort to dish about her new book "Let Me Tell You Something" (in stores now!) before her much-anticipated Q&A with fans.
She talked to me exclusively about giving/getting advice, (find out what piece of advice her Father gave her that she'll never forget), what's off-limits on reality television, her love/hate relationship with Bravo TV, and the must-have menu items at her family's new restaurant Little Town in Hoboken, and much more more!Read More

REAL TALK: Catching Up with "Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards
Kyle Richards is one busy woman!
She is a doting wife, mom to four, likable reality television star, successful store owner and proud philanthropist — and yet she balances it all so well, thanks to multitasking, healthy AND smart eating (she loves fresh veggies from the farmers market!) and hitting the gym hard!
"I'm picking up my kids from school while I am talking to you, was at the store this morning…got my nails done first… I am always go go go go," Richards told me. But as active as she is, keeping her body in shape, she says, "isn't easy." She commits to power yoga once a week and circuit training the rest of the week.
As much as Kyle Richards enjoys her busy life, she is greatly looking forward to "doing absolutely nothing" on Mother's Day on June 12th: "I like to do as little as possible. I just like to sleep in and have someone else make the breakfast." For Father's Day, however, it's the total opposite this year. While normally she encourages husband Mauricio to play golf, this year they will be spending in Aspen, Colorado hiking and, Kyle insists, shopping: "That's the only way to get to me to go. We can ride our bikes to shop." (more…)Read More

Caroline Manzo Talks About Infidelity: "Marriage Is Worth The Fight!"
If you're a good guy, can infidelity be overlooked? Shockingly, Caroline Manzo's answer is "yes."
In a revealing interview with In Touch magazine, the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star opens up about her views on marriage — and says that when it comes to her 28-year-marriage to husband Albert, she would never throw the towel in over one mistake.
"If Al cheated on me 25 years ago, one night, that was then and this is now," she tells In Touch of a topic she writes about with brutal honesty in her new book, Let Me Tell You Something. "No one on this planet could say with 100 percent certainty that their partner never cheated. I have no indication that he has, but if it didn't happen yesterday, last week, a month ago, I'm not worried about it."
Okay then!
Caroline admits that the earlier years of her marriage were a struggle — having three children in three years and almost no money. "We could hardly afford diapers," she says. "Those were tough times." Caroline's happy to have powered through those years but says that if Al did stray, she would understand and forgive.
"If your husband is a good guy and a provider and you have a tremendous connection, you can't throw your marriage away over a one-night stand," Caroline said. "My husband is my best friend. Marriage is worth the fight. I would go to hell and back for him and he would do the same."Do you agree with Caroline?Read More

Goat 4 Sale: Watch The Hilarious Advertisement That Should Make The Cut For Super Bowl!
For the sixth year in a row, Doritos is crowdsourcing its two Super Bowl ads. Five finalists have been selected but MJ is rooting for the Doritos goat (whose name, oddly enough is Moose)!
Finalist Ben Callner (who also happens to hail from the ATL) said that his goat-owning friend (and eventual ad co-writer) Steve Colby inspired the spot. "So my buddy came in, and he literally just kind of off-handed said, 'Hey, my goat eating and crunching on food is really funny,'" he said in a making of video. "And that was it. 'OK, that was a really random sentence, thank you.' And so we Googled 'goats eating chips,' and we cracked up." Watch the hilarious ad now:
"They're so sweet," Colby told Fox Atlanta. "I really got goats because I thought that they wouldn't be affectionate, I just kind of wanted some animals. But they want to be right next to you … they're wonderful."
"Goats 4 Sale" is up against 4 other consumer created ads: two starring dogs, one starring men in dresses, and another that has a blind man hitting another fellow in the groin. Doritos execs will select one winner and the other will be selected by online votes. Thus far, "Goats 4 Sale" has the most views on the Doritos Crash the Superbowl site (currently 460,000).Read More

Naomi Campbell Strikes A Fierce Pose For ELLE Magazine!
Naomi Campbell has still got it!
The 42-year-old model strikes a fierce pose for the newest issue of ELLE Magazine (on newsstands Jan. 15!) In the spread, she dishes about her new show The Face on Oxygen, that cell phone "incident," and her relationship with Tyra Banks.
On mentoring girls on Oxygen's The Face:
"When I first got Yves Saint Laurent couture, I didn't know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma – the real divas of the runway – 'Can you show me?' I've never been afraid to ask for help… I care for my girls [on the show]. Every single one of them. I'm not here to put anyone down."
On the infamous cell-phone-throwing incident:
"I'm never gonna get away from it. It's part of my history. I was remorseful and regretful. I've served. I did that time. And I never want to be in that position again."
On if she watches Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model:
"I don't watch the other reality model shows. I'll never have anything to say. If you ask me about Tyra Banks, I'm proud of her as a woman of color. She's given girls opportunity, and God bless her."

COLUMBUS, Ohio–EveryWare Global plans to close its regional office in Oneida, N.Y., as part of its ongoing integration of the Oneida business. A smaller satellite office in Melville, N.Y., also will be closed.
Certain functional and administrative roles now based at the Oneida regional office will gradually be relocated to the company's headquarters in central Ohio, as will certain roles based in Melville. The changes will take place in several phases beginning in April with full completion scheduled in 2015, the company said.
"This is a difficult but necessary decision as we work to complete the full integration of the Oneida business into EveryWare," said John Sheppard, EveryWare CEO. "This move will enable us to achieve the greater efficiencies and synergy of having all of our key business, functional and administrative positions in a single North American location."
EveryWare is providing affected associates with severance and other support. The Company intends to divest the Oneida office building, located at 163 Kenwood Ave.
Monomoy Capital Partners acquired Oneida in 2011 and combined it and Anchor Hocking under the EveryWare name in March 2012. The company became publicly traded in May 2013.

First report of phrenic nerve injury during pulmonary vein isolation using the Ablation Frontiers pulmonary vein ablation catheter.
Summary of "First report of phrenic nerve injury during pulmonary vein isolation using the Ablation Frontiers pulmonary vein ablation catheter."
In an attempt to improve procedural outcomes and reduce time and complications, there has been particular interest in alternative technologies specifically designed for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. One novel technique is isolation of the pulmonary veins using an over-the-wire multielectrode catheter delivering duty-cycled bipolar and unipolar radiofrequency energy. Phrenic nerve injury is a rare but significant complication of AF ablation. This is the first report of phrenic nerve injury following catheter ablation for AF using the Pulmonary Vein Ablation Catheter (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
The Heart Hospital, University College London, London, UK.

All too often, our experience of Middle Eastern food on these shores is limited to limp pittas and greasy kebabs. More recently there has been a fashion for Moroccan food, with trendy bistros clamouring to serve their take on a tagine.
What many people don't realise is that the cuisines of the Middle East are as refined and complex as any other great cuisine of the world. The deep, rich flavours of Middle Eastern food reflect the mysterious and exotic cultures that originated them.
Many Middle Eastern recipes have evolved over hundreds of years, developed by women whose day and social life revolved around cooking. Each region has its own unique characteristics with food helping to define its culture.
Geography and history have long painted the Middle East as a land of profound contrast; deserts and Edens, poverty and plenty, tribal warlords and prophets of peace. Sadly much of the area is a battleground today, but Middle Easterners can still find common ground at the dinner table, where palates find peaceful co-existence.
Essential to any cooking in the Middle East is the concept of hospitality and generosity. Food is about family, friends with much sharing of dishes at the dinner table.
In the Middle East eating out is not an occasion it is a way of life- here at Souk Kitchen we hope our prices reflect that- by bringing you affordable authentic Middle Eastern food.
The famed Middle Eastern custom of elaborate and generous hospitality is known the world over. If there's one thing you can count on in the Middle East, it's that you'll never need to seek out hospitality. It will find you!
Hospitality and giving a warm reception to strangers goes back to the culture of the desert. Developed over centuries, where the desert environment bound traveling nomads to depend on the graciousness and generosity of others, hospitality enabled inhabitants of the Middle East to survive.
This custom of showing courtesy and consideration to strangers is alive and well in the Middle East today. Those who visit the Middle East often return home full of the friendliness, generosity and hospitality they were shown by the people they met on their travels.
At Souk Kitchen, a warm Middle Eastern welcome will greet you as soon as you walk through the door. As a guest in a Middle Eastern home you are expected to bring one thing alone; a good healthy appetite and we expect no less at Souk Kitchen!
